Telling The Story of New Hampshire’s Fallen D-Day Heroes A Unique Opportunity For Students To Learn Of The Greatest Sacrifice and one teacher) from around the country who have taken on the challenging task of finding out about a hometown soldier who gave his life after the D-Day landings. The teams will then be taken on an all expenses paid trip to Normandy, France for five days to visit the
sites of the famous World War II D-Day battles (Utah and Omaha Beach), visit museums and finally visit the grave of their soldier to deliver a eulogy. Since the first year of the program, student/teacher teams from forty-four states have been chosen to participate and, to date,
none have been from New Hampshire. Albert H. Small started the program back in 2011 because he wanted to teach a new generation about the sacrifices and challenges faced by U.S. Service members during World War II. See heroes on 34

To the Editor: Among the many Republican Presidential candidates are several who would be great Presidents. After eight years of President Obama, our nation really needs a great President to protect our homeland and our freedoms, repair our nation’s finances and our international relations, and create a growing economy that provides opportunities and prosperity for all Americans. The 603 Alliance has been formed to help make sure that a candidate who would be a great President wins the New Hampshire Republican Presidential primary. To accomplish its goal, the 603 Alliance is conducting an Iowa-like caucus on October 17th. The 603 Alliance will endorse the caucus winner and encourage people to help him or her win the NH Republican Presidential Primary. Unlike a primary election, a caucus conducts multiple rounds of voting to determine the candidate that most voters prefer. Everyone votes for their first choice, then votes are counted and the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. People who voted for the eliminated candidate(s) vote for their next choice in the next round of voting. The process of voting, eliminating the least popular candidate(s), and voting again from among
Our Story
the remaining candidates is repeated until a single candidate, the winner, is left. The caucus winner is the candidate that most people prefer, hopefully one of almost everyone’s top choices. Identifying the caucus winner should help voters decide who to vote for in the NH Presidential Primary in February, 2016. All REGISTERED NH Republican and Undeclared voters are invited to participate in the caucus which will be held on Saturday, October 17th at the Hopkinton Fair Grounds. Caucus signin begins at 10AM. Photo ID is required. There is no charge to participate. See www.603alliance. com for more information. Your participation in the caucus and vote for the caucus winner in the NH primary will help ensure that NH does its part in making sure that the next Republican Presidential Nominee is someone who will be a great President, and someone that all Americans will be proud to vote for.

I recently bought myself a smartphone. I decided to finally get rid of my stupidphone. I had been reading about smartphones for a long time as well as watching more and more people using them, so I decided to join the Twenty-First Century. I read that today’s smartphones have more technology in them then the Apollo spacecraft did when it landed on the moon in 1969. In fact, the technology of today’s smartphones is so superior that people can actually play word games on their phone with another person who is thousands of miles away. Something the astronauts could have only dreamed of. When I went to buy my own smartphone, the salesperson told me how up-to-date the phone I was buying was, which meant it would probably be outdated in about three weeks. After buying my smartphone and bringing it home, it took me a few hours to figure out the basics. While I was trying to navigate myself around all of the cool features, I got a phone call. I panicked. I couldn’t figure out how to answer
I am not going to bore you by telling you all the things a smartphone can do because 1) most of them you already know and 2) I’ve had the thing for over two weeks and I still have no idea. I must admit, trying to figure all of it out is very time consuming. My phone has a thing called 4G, which means it is supposed to be very fast. Not everyone has 4G yet, so I am on the cutting edge. I can watch YouTube videos about cats while I am supposed to be working faster than a lot of other people I know. There are also a lot of apps on smartphones. Apps are things that can make your phone capable of doing more stuff if you want it to. I haven’t gotten any of these extra apps yet but I plan to right after I finally become proficient in making actual phone calls with the thing. Right now, I guess I’m pretty cool and up-todate with my smartphone. People who actually care about these things are in awe of my latest gadget. I am taking it all in because soon they will get new smartphones and mine will seem like a dinosaur and then they won’t care about me any longer. I’m figuring this will happen by the time you read this. Still, it’s great to be alive in these days of technological advances such as this. To think that I can hold in my hand a tiny computer that outdoes the spacecraft in the Apollo program that sent men hundreds of thousands of miles into space, landed them on the moon and then brought them safely back home, never ceases to amaze me. Did I tell you I can play golf on my phone as well?

it, so I lost the call. It took me about an hour to figure out how to retrieve the phone message that was left which informed me that I was supposed to be somewhere in fifteen minutes but I had forgotten all about it because I was too busy trying to figure out my new smartphone. I felt kind of dumb. These things should not be called smartphones, they should be called “handheld computers which you can use to make a phone call once in a blue moon.� It is really no fun to use a smartphone to make an actual phone call. There are too many other neat ways to communicate with others without actually dialing a number. (I’m sure the term “dialing� is now an ancient term that will signal to anyone that I am over thirty.) There is texting, which is huge nowadays. ED will soon be taking a back seat to all the new medicines and television commercials which will be needed to control the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to texting. With a smartphone you don’t necessarily have to use your fingers to text. You can speak the words into a tiny microphone and it will produce your message that way. It is advised that you carefully read your spoken message before you send it since the recognition system will sometimes hear something completely different. I recently texted my wife that “I’ll be home at eight, I am working late.� My text, which I am glad I read before I sent it out read that “I’ll be home late. I have a perky date.� So, as you can see, it may be smart, but it certainly isn’t perfect.

Chance has been through a lot and it shows. He can be a bit sensitive to lots of touch and prefers to warm up on his own time. He already knows sit but can get excited easily and will need to learn some basic manners but don’t worry he is very food motivated so training should be fun! Overall he is looking for an owner who can show him what true love and patience is. He is not recommended for young children but may do OK with teenagers, can be a bit picky about his doggy/feline friends so he would need to be the only animal in the household.

— ART GIRL — James Fortune - Retrospective at Plymouth State University by Kimberly J.B. Smith Contributing Writer
The Fortune retrospective is a “not to miss” show about a brilliant mind and a professor of art who inspired generations of young artist/art educators. I was one of those young artist/educators and a malleable one at that. Professor Fortune had a profound effect on me and was inspirational to all my fellow students. Back in the late 70s, I walked into an introductory course and met the artist. What I found was an individual who was off the mass culture grid. It was a refreshing change and an opportunity to extend my limited artistic oeuvre. After spending a considerable amount of freshman cash on basic oil paints and the obligatory brushes on the supplies list, Professor Fortune took hold of my new brushes and admired their beauty. Perhaps the beauty they could create. I was artistically smitten. Professor Fortune was a great artist. The curators will tell you that. What I can tell you is that my courses with him molded my teaching style and my willingness to try new media - paper pulp in particular. To this day, when I look at a work of student art that isn’t artistically strong, I remember to find an aspect of the art to celebrate. The student feels supported and works to develop other aspects of their artistic journey. I do this every day and it still serves me well. Paper pulp and handmade paper are ripe for so

many possibilities. After Fortune was well established as an oil painter, he took a detour (or perhaps a direct route) into explorations into a medium that we all use daily without any artistic vision at all. To look at Professor Fortune’s works is to see how far he was able to extend our understanding. Professor Fortune was a great painter. His selfportrait explorations were
outstanding. What you will find are great color, texture and a sophisticated ability to capture something well beyond a simple likeness. His work in this area was the real deal - unattainable for many who aspire for it. Fortune’s reflections on his own art include the concept that he was looking to reveal what could not be revealed, the “asSee smith on 33

Welcome to Wealthy Middle Eastern Thug Privilege You’ve heard endlessly about “white privilege” from the professional social justice warrior gripers. But rarely does that crusading crowd -- or their spiritual leaders in the White House -- acknowledge the brutal impact of wealthy Middle Eastern thug privilege in America. I’m looking especially at you, Barack, Michelle and Valerie Jarrett (who hosted Black Lives Matter activists at 1600 Pennsylvania last week). The latest case of WMET privilege involves a well-connected Saudi prince arrested on Wednesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at his $40 million Beverly Hills rental mansion. Witnesses reported seeing a bloodied woman screaming for help as she scrambled over an 8-foot wall surrounding the property. LAPD officers charged 28-year-old Majed Abdulaziz alSaud with sodomy, battery and false imprisonment. Celebrate diversity! (No word, by the way, on whether or how this accused brute is related to Saudi princess Buniah al-Saud, who pleaded no contest in 2002 to charges of beating her Indonesian maid in Florida. She was fined a measly $1,000 and let loose.) So, where is al-Saud now? Long gone, no doubt. His royal benefactors forked over $300,000 to bail out the privileged jetsetter. Neighbors say the estate has been evacuated. Al-Saud has an October 19 court date. But don’t expect him to show any more respect for our laws than another fellow wealthy Middle Eastern thug who has by Michelle Malkin Syndicated Columnist
recently gone on the lam. Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar, owner of a Ferrari caught racing illegally through another Beverly Hills enclave, is nowhere to be found. A driver believed to be either Al Thani or one of his drag-racing opponents bragged to a witness that he had diplomatic immunity and could get away with murder, and then spat “F**k America” before disappearing. Meanwhile, three other women have stepped forward to file a civil complaint against al-Saud alleging “extreme,” “outrageous” and “despicable” behavior by the prince at the sprawling compound. The workers say they were “deprived of their freedom of movement by use of physical barriers, force, threats of force, menace, fraud, deceit and unreasonable duress.” Feckless Foggy Bottom bureaucrats at Obama’s State Department, as usual, have no comment on either case. But hey, check out all those White House tweets protesting the “war on women”! Does Washington apathy about the Saudi sex slave trade on American soil sound familiar? It should. In 2013, I reported on two Filipina women who escaped a Saudi diplomatic compound in Virginia after suffering abuse. They were taken into protective custody by Department of Homeland Security personnel. The gated complex is owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Armed Forces Office, whose personnel reportedly enjoy full diplomatic immunity. DHS refused to respond to my follow-up inquiries about the

Hopeless Change I saw this little catch phrase on the internet today with regard to our President by Jane Cormier and his little Hooksett, NH. campaign motto, “Hope and Change”. We may have been promised “Hope and Change” – and we certainly received the “change” part, but the “change” has transformed our communities and country into something many of us do not recognize. The depth of the shift of our country has been staggering in just about every category. Then it hit me, this was probably the end game of this presidency – hopeless change. When we poke our heads up from the sand, we see an America which is simply not the America of our youth. We are more divided than ever. We see a frighteningly enlarged Administrative State which is doing its very best to control all aspects of our lives. Leftists are trying to control our children’s education (and changing the morals and ethics which have made America great) into some strange workforce, com-
munist-style utopia. The college experience is mostly a Progressive Education par excellence. The powerful Administrative State has obtained almost control on zoning and housing issues within our towns and state – did you ever think your private well did NOT belong to you? Ask Caleb’s Country Store in Barrington as they are in a fight with their community and state for rights to their own well. Progressives have effectively shut down public discourse by telling us if we do not agree with the “tolerance” of the Left, we are bigots or idiots. People have been silenced out of fear or caution. But,I believe most are silent because the GIANT of PROGRESSIVISM seems just TOO big to fight. Let me tell you, if you are careful about what you say or who you say it to – or, if you are not on social media because you are afraid Big Brother will see what you really think, then you are being controlled. You are feeding the beast of censorship. Perhaps, the Beast just seems TOO large to See cormier on 36

Jordanian King Calls Clash with Radical Islam a “Third World War” by John J. Metzler Syndicated Columnist
UNITED NATIONS — Among the 193 Presidential and Ministerial speeches being made during the UN General Assembly debate, most will present politically pedantic and often droning restatements of the obvious; that war, terrorism, poverty and the refugees crisis lapping at Europe’s shores and hinterland are among the absolute ills affecting the international community. The new and revamped Sustainable Development Goals are then placed on the altar of global diplomacy as the penultimate offering to save the world. Few diplomats really make statesmanlike speeches; I suppose it’s because there are so many politicians and so few statesmen. Jordan’s King is among this rare group of statesmen. King Abdullah II of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan presented a stunningly poignant and brilliant address before the UN. Chastising what he calls the “serious threat from the khawarej, the outlaws of Islam that operate globally today,” the King stresses “these outlaw gangs use suspicion and ignorance to expand their own power. Worse still is the free hand they grant themselves to distort the word of God to justify the most
atrocious crimes.” King Abdullah asks rhetorically, “Can we tolerate a future where mass murder, public beheadings, kidnappings and slavery are common practice? Where persecution of communities is law? Where humanity’s cultural treasures, preserved for thousands of years, are systematically destroyed?” “I’ve called this crisis a third world war and I believe we must respond with equal intensity,” the Jordanian Monarch retorted. Yet he added, “The more important war is the one we wage on the battlegrounds of the heart, soul and mind.” Thus a key and respected Arab state ruler is not just calling for a counteroffensive with military means but also with what can be called a “hearts and minds” campaign. King Abdullah is very clear about the threat,”when we examine the motives of these outlaws, the khawarej, ” they come down to, “ power and control: of people, of money, of land.” The Monarch added searingly, “They use religion as a mask. Is there a worse crime than twisting God’s word to promote your own interests?” Looking at the wider religious picture, King Abdullah advises, “In the global Muslim community, 1.7 billion of good men and women, one quarter of humanity, today’s
outlaw gangs are nothing but a drop in the ocean. But a drop of venom can poison a well.” He called on all Muslims to “protect the purity of our faith” …as Muslims this is our fight, and our duty.”
Abdullah’s wider call admonished bystanders, “Extremists rely on the apathy of moderates.” Interestingly, despite being a military man educated at Britain’s Sandhurst, the Monarch did not See Metzler on 37
Good Riddance! The impending departure of Speaker of the House John Boehner gives the House Republicans a by Thomas Sowell real opporSyndicated Columnist tunity to accomplish something. But an opportunity is not a guarantee. It is a little like a football team being first down and goal at the ten-yard line. You have a good chance of scoring a touchdown from there -- if you can get your act together. But you could also find yourself having to settle for a field goal. Or for a missed field goal. And of course you can also fumble the ball and have the other team grab it -- and run it all the way back across the field to score a touchdown against you. With Republicans, it would be chancy to make a bet as to which of these scenarios is most likely. Speaker Boehner had a tough hand to play, given the internal splits among House Republicans. But Boehner’s biggest problem was Boehner. And it is a recurring Republican problem. Nothing epitomized Boehner’s wrong-headedness like an occasion when he emerged from the White House, after a conference with President Obama and others, to face a vast battery of microphones and television cameras. Here was a golden opportunity for Speaker Boehner to make his case directly to the American people, unfiltered by the media. Instead, he just walked over to the microphones and cameras, briefly expressed his disgust with the conference he had just come from, and then walked on away. Surely Boehner knew, going
into this White House conference, that it could fail. And, surely, he knew that there would be an opportunity immediately afterwards to present his case to the public. But, like so many Republican leaders over the years, he seemed to have no sense of the importance of doing so -- or for the time and efforts needed to prepare for such an opportunity beforehand. Whoever the next Speaker of the House is, someone should have a plaque made up to put on his desk -- a plaque reading: TALK, DAMMIT! If the political situation in Washington is such that many of the expectations of Republican voters cannot be met, then at least take the time and trouble to spell that out in plain language to the public. Maybe the smug consultants in Washington don’t think the public can understand. But Ronald Reagan won two landslide elections by doing what subsequent Republican leaders disdained to do. In between, he accomplished what was called “the Reagan revolution” without ever having a majority in both Houses of Congress. He could go over the heads of Congressional Democrats and explain to the public why certain legislation was needed -- and once he won over the voters, Democrats in Congress were not about to jeopardize their reelection chances by going against them. One of the secrets of Reagan’s political success was a segment of the population that was called “Reagan Democrats.” These were voters who traditionally voted for Democrats but who had been won over to Reagan’s agenda.

Catering Changes Ownership
LEE - Flag Hill is one of New Hampshire’s oldest, most respected wineries and distilleries. Recently it has changed ownership. In June of 2015, Brian Ferguson, a 27-year-old Pennsylvania native, purchased the three companies located at the Flag Hill property in Lee (Flag Hill Winery, Distillery and Catering). In 25 years under the ownership of Frank and Linda Reinhold, what was once a dairy farm has now evolved into a multilayered organization. Ferguson, who is a graduate from Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, purchased the companies at just 27 years old. He began his career in the industry at Finger Lakes Distilling, one of the more successful micro-distilleries in the craft distillery movement, as its assistant distiller. There he was able to learn from their multigenerational master distiller. After two years with FLD, Ferguson moved to Grand Cayman, the largest of three Cayman Islands in the Caribbean to be the head distiller for Cayman Spirits Co. At Cayman Spirits, which is famed
for an underwater aging process, he acquired an understanding of the production of ultra-premium rums. Missing the Northeastern winters, Brian and his wife, Maddie, moved to Lee to lead spirit production at Flag Hill. One year later Brian then became chief wine maker as well. “There is not a tried and true way to learn how to run a small distillery,” said Brian. “The truth is most small distilleries in the U.S today are started by bankers, doctors, lawyers, or people who have made money in another profession and want a hobby career, or they ran a still in their backyard a few times. “I did not want to be like every other small distiller that tells a story of learning about their passion on a beach somewhere sipping ‘local’ rum or a made up tale of a historic half-truth.” “I learned how to make spirits by working stupid hours for years to cut my teeth.” Flag Hill’s distillery has been slowly adding to its variety of product. Soon it will include bourbon that will finally be released Nov. 7 at Flag Hill’s Blue Grass and Bourbon release party after years of maturing in 53 gallon barrels. As inventory grows, Ferguson’s aim is to expand Flag Hill’s market reach. “I could say something amazing about each one of our products, but we re-
ally expect the bourbon to be a major hit,” he said. “It is New Hampshire’s first straight bourbon whiskey,” which is a designation given to American whiskey that has been aged for at least two years. Bourbon that tastes like New Hampshire is the desired outcome. It will not taste like whiskey made in Kentucky. It will not taste like whiskey made in Scotland; it is New Hampshire’s own. Although it has undergone an ownership change, Flag Hill Winery has had a long reputation of producing some wonderful wines from on-site grapes. Flag Hill’s catering and events facility does around 50 weddings a year, and guests normally book over a year in advance. “We just started taking (orders for) 2017 weddings in June,” Ferguson said. “Not only is the event space beautiful, overlooking the vineyards, but the food incorporates fresh produce that we grow in our greenhouse and our gardens. Flag Hill is open to the public Wed.-Sun., from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or visit its website at flaghill.com or contact by phone (603) 659-2949. Public tours run every Saturday and Sunday at noon and tastings are available on site. Email christa@flaghill.com in order arrange almost any type of social gathering.

We are fortunate to live in a state that is proud to say we are the largest consumer of beer in the nation... or at least if you are proud of NH and love your local craft beer varieties! In the fall season, we tend to venture into unknown waters to find new selections to try and maybe taste a beer that draws our attention... thus the reason for this article!Henniker Brewing Company is located in Henniker, NH. Founded in 2011, HBC has captured the attention of craft beer lovers in the NH beer scene with their 15 barrel capacity. But they had bigger plans and today are a 30 barrel brew house exclusively sold in NH and distributed widely throughout the state in 22 oz bottles, growlers (half gallon bottles) and kegs for restaurants and taverns. Visit their website at http://www.hennikerbrewing.com “Hop Slinger� is a hop lover’s oyster bar of variety. The international hops in this are listed as German Magnum, New Zealand Kohatu, and American El Dorado... so two of these I’ve never heard of! Depending on when hops are added to the boil defines the bittering or aroma of the beer style. The earlier you add hops, the more bitter the beer tastes. If you are trying to design your brew around a style, then you don’t vary much from that style. But if you are trying to define a new direction with a creative twist of sorts, then the recipe is open to inter-

D.A. LONG TAVERN pretation. Deep honey colored with a massive haze, this beer is less on malt character and more on hop character. The off white head stays fairly long through the experience. Your nose will pick up floral notes of peach, pineapple and mandarin orange. The first sip tells you this is a slightly malty India Pale Ale with a late bittering that might be described a peppery. I enjoyed this beer with some spicy food (as the label suggests) and found it was a good matchup. My particular bottle had what appeared to be hop particles remaining in the pour. If this aides in the
bittering, then a brilliant brewer has struck a chord with their public. If not, then you may want to check the brew date if you can find it on the label... I was not able to do so. As a year-round beer, you will want to find this one available at Case-nKeg in Meredith and Laconia. It’s is worth investigating, especially if you like IPA’s.

LOUDON NASCAR REFLECTIONS Almost 100,000 NASCAR fans came to little Loudon, N.H., on Sept. 27 for the Sylvania 300 road race, which was won by Matt Kenseth in the #20 Toyota, after Kevin Harvick ran out of gas. The race was special for several reasons, including the fact that Jeff Gordon, in his iconic #24 Chevrolet, finished tenth. Gordon’s been coming to Loudon for over twenty years and it’s hard to believe that he’s soon to retire. As I live about a mile from the track (as the crow flies) I can’t help but be taken in by the NASCAR spectacle. New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) holds more fans than Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium combined. How cool is that? Also cool is the fact that an NHMS marketing assistant, Belmont’s Chris Lockwood, is a former hoopster who played basketball for me when I was coaching NHTI-Concord back in the 1900’s. It looks like Chris has been doing great work at NHMS and of course I’m pulling for him—and the track— to do well. Last year Chris shared a pass with me to owner Bruton Smith’s suite overlooking the start/ finish line. It was a thrill to watch a race from that vantage-point, and it was also cool to hang out with some of the other guests there, which included the likes of governors and U.S. senators. This year I eschewed at-

That’s Governor Hassan in the background keeping an eye on things tending the Sylvania 300 in person, as I wanted to watch it on national television from my deck, from whence I could hear the action, and see the helicopters and flyovers, and not be distracted by dignitaries. Earlier in the day I did jog to the track and waved to neighbors sitting in lawn chairs who offered their lawns up for parking, for $10—or $20 if closer to the track. Anyway, as I am not only an NHMS neighbor, but also in the sports business, I wanted to share some thoughts with Chris and company. Yes, see if you can get the other NASCAR race (in July) to be a night race. The typical July heat on the aluminum bleachers can take a toll. An evening race could be fun and more comfortable. (Could it go on Saturday?) Yes, there are cranks and obstructionists who will oppose this, just as they opposed expanding Bryar Motorsports Park there in the first place, but MOST
locals know and appreciate what a good neighbor NHMS has been to everyone in Loudon and Canterbury.

Too Many Guns in America, Obama? LMAO! With Hussein Obama in the background the column must be done. How much has he said about the by Niel Young Advocates Columnist y o u n g Americans who were murdered at Umpqua College in Eugene, Oregon. Of course our hearts are broken. The killer put together a plan to KILL Christians and shoot all others in the legs and feet. Never letting a crisis to go to waste; Obama mentioned the horrific event, Barack went right to the “too many guns in this country� bull. He would have us believe, as he does at every opportunity, that the gun is the problem. So, the gun walked to the campus and shot all of those innocent young people? Once again at a facility, a school where NO GUNS is the rule, for everybody, including the Security Officer! Since McVeigh; try walking into a county court house or Federal Building in NH. Since then in the courier business we encounter a possible wand search and scan of the packages. BTW, have you noticed that the security police HAVE guns? Thank the Lord that if I cannot carry, there are folks who can stop an assault and provide the unarmed American citizen an opportunity to survive. *************** Obama: ‘We’ve become numb to this’ “We are the only advanced country on earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months,� the president said Thursday as he called for new gun control laws. Hold it, did Barack say gun control? That is NOT what the Second Amendment tells us. It is understandable that when
one man screws up a great nation it is hard to focus on the little things, like a world war we are being sucked into. Vlad Putin is having things the way HE wants them. ******************** RedAlertPolitics.com: America will demand solutions to stop future killings. President Obama already said we need more gun control laws, and many conservatives are saying we need more good guys with guns to stop these evil people—but which solutions will actually work? It’s time to let students, teachers, and security guards arm themselves. Certainly this means considering eliminating gunfree zones in schools, but beyond that, we need to look at more creative, implementable solutions to protect our schools. At yesterday’s press event, President Obama pretended to have a silver bullet to stop gun violence, saying, “Each time this happens, I’m going to bring this up,� calling for more gun control legislation. Later he said, “This is something we should politicize.� While his passion might excite leftwing activists, President Obama needs to answer this basic question: which specific proposal or proposals would have stopped this string of shootings? http://redalertpolitics.com/2015/10/02/ view-allow-students-teachers-arm/ ******************* Amid the coverage on Putin in Syria and Oregon, I wanted to be sure you were aware that this week is also the deadline for leaders of the armed services to finalize their recommendation regarding women in combat units. At
a time when the threat of ISIS is continuing to grow, and Russia’s involvement in the Middle East is becoming more concerning, the last thing we should be doing is weakening our military in the name of “gender equality� and “equal opportunity.� One of my guests during the 10/3 Saturday Advocates radio was Ms. Jude Eden, special columnist to The Stream and U.S. Marine veteran who served in Fallujah, brings a point by point account of the dangers posed by opening direct combat positions to women. Calling the repeal of the women in direct combat ban “expensive, untenable and deadly� Jude explains how “military women, as tough, smart and able as they are, are not interchangeable with the men at the infantry level.� She notes the following problems with the misguided call for equality in arms: Physical Inequality: “The Marine Corps’ recent 9-month combat integration testing showed that the female participants had less strength, speed and shooting accuracy, and were injured more than twice as much as men. Coed teams underperformed on nearly 70% of tasks.� I am sure that I will have Jude back as a guest, and if you missed her, just visit wezs. com and find the podcast hour 1. There are those who think that Sec. of State John Kerry will win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016. If that is the case; both Kerry and Obama should give the medal and money back! Please list those countries that either one of them brought peace to. Obama cannot even bring peace in the Black vs. White civil war that HE has created!

Chaplin’s ‘The Kid’ to Screen On Thursday, Oct. 8th at The Flying Monkey PLYMOUTH —Silent film with live music returns to the Flying Monkey with a screening of Charlie Chaplin’s classic comedy/ drama ‘The Kid’ (1921) on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 p.m. The special program, which also includes several of Chaplin’s short comedies, with be presented with live music by Jeff Rapsis, one of the nation’s leading silent film accompanists. Admission is $10 per person. Chaplin was already the world’s most popular comedian and filmmaker when he produced ‘The Kid,’ his first feature-length project. The movie, with its daring mix of intense drama and slapstick comedy, proved an instant sensation and marked one of the high points of Chaplin’s long career. ‘The Kid’ follows the story of a tramp (Chaplin) who attempts to raise an orphaned boy on his own. It includes several classic scenes, and is highlighted by a sequence in which Chaplin battles authorities attempting to return the child to an orphanage. Co-starring with Chaplin in ‘The Kid’ is five-yearold Jackie Coogan, who turned in what many critics rank as the best child performance of the entire silent film era. Chaplin himself worked closely with the young Coogan for more than a year to develop the youngster’s acting abilities. Coogan went on to a long career that much later included the role of “Uncle Fester� in the popular 1960s Addams Family television show. The Chaplin program continues the monthly series of silent film with live music at the Flying Monkey. The series provides local audiences the opportunity to experience silent film as it was intended to be shown: on the big screen, in restored prints, with live music, and with
an audience. “If you can put pieces of the experience back together again, it’s surprising how these films snap back to life,� Rapsis said. “By showing the films under the right conditions, you can really get a sense of why people first fell in love with the movies.� The Flying Monkey originally opened as a silent film moviehouse in the 1920s, and showed firstrun Hollywood films to generations of area residents until closing several years ago. The theater has since been renovated by Alex
Ray, owner of the Common Man restaurants, who created a performance space that hosts a wide range of music acts. But movies of all types are still a big part of the Flying Monkey’s offerings, and the silent film series is a way for the theater to remain connected to its roots. In creating music for silent films, Rapsis performs on a digital synthesizer that reproduces the texture of the full orchestra and creates a traditional “movie score� sound. See The Kid on 35
With contracts signed by July 31, 2014
The 1921 comedy drama classic “The Kid� will be screened on Thurs. Oct. 8th at the Flying Monkey as part of their monthly silent film with live music series.

There are some memories that never fade from oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. As we get older, we tend to hold on to the special occasions that define a moment in time. Each season of change opens the gates to the reflections of the mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye. Each year the flashbacks grow stronger until you wonder if the moment is a memory or occurring for the very first time. One cold fall morning many years ago, as my son Nicholas and I looked out the living room window at the bird feeders, oblong shapes appeared up on the hill on the other side of our ancient rock wall. Our property is fortunate to have boundaries marked by previous generations of pioneers who laid out the land in this wondrous fashion. We pressed our faces against the cold window glass as five, ten, fifteen and more wild turkeys slowly did their recognizable trot across the woodland floor, scratching at the layer of leaves as they fed on the abundance of natural food. They were unruffled by the morning sounds of automobiles, dogs barking in the distance and the usual scurrying of ground critters. We were fascinated at the obvious hierarchy, the constant line of birds, continuing towards the street. As they cautiously approached the road, they maintained their single file and headed towards the driveway. Just beyond, leaning against a huge boulder, was our
NEW!
.431 Halloween scarecrow. We used an old pair of trousers and a flannel shirt, stuffed with leaves to create the illusion of a resting human. When the lead turkey caught sight of this, it stopped abruptly. In rapid succession, each wild bird in the chorus line followed suit, creating a traffic jam. The turkeys displayed their own distress signs; wing flapping, short take-offs, and quick step trotting. Then every bird froze. All necks stretched high. Time had stopped without a whisper of sound to be heard anywhere. Not one bird would cross the imaginary line of safety. Then, without warning, the lead bird turned tail and headed across the street into our neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard. Each turkey followed this male tom, never wavering from the abstract demarcation that was left by the leader. My son and I remained at our post, relishing the moment as nature continued on its way. Each time I witness the flocking of wild turkeys on our street, I remember this special moment with my son. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another sign of age and experience that is part of the plan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mine and mine alone to keep with me forever. When my son becomes a
man and leaves the nest, I know he will create his own reflections of time with his children. I hope I am there to be a part of it. Enjoy your birds.

Patenaude from 3
reward was a nice view all the way up the valley to Mount Washington. We crossed some stabilized land slides and this is certainly one of those places that are tricky and it would be scary if one of those trees tilting above decided to flip down upon us. We smelled wood smoke from a campfire and saw a man below by the river standing next to the source of the smell. To put the fire out he had just poured water on it and he produced a large steaming gray plume of smoke. About a couple miles along the trail we crossed the Dry River on the repaired suspension bridge. Thankfully, the powers that be realize that some b r i d g e s d o b e lo n g o n trails in the wilderness areas. We hiked along and we were continually awe struck by the power of water. The wide river’s great water eroded the bank and created landslides and left behind steep banks. There is a trail sign pointing across the river for the Clinton Trail at a point where the bank is not steep. The water in the river was low,
The Dry River Shelter #3 is still standing and looks like a nice place to stay. The shelter is 6.3 miles from Route 302 in Crawford Notch or 3.3 miles from the Lakes of the Clouds. Enjoy it while you can since it is in a wilderness area it will not be given any maintenance and it will not be replaced. very low; we have had a dry summer. Crossing the river is not much of a challenge on this day but finding where the Clinton Trail leaves the river bed on the other side still would be tough. We spied a few small rock cairns left behind by other hikers that led up stream and then we spied some orange flagging marking the trail. If the water was running at regular level this would be a difficult crossing and in high water an impossible task.

The trail was primitive as promised. Where the trail once followed the bank of the river it abruptly stopped many times where the water had scooped the earth away. The new sections of trail turned and traveled high away from the river. In these places it reminded us of the rough herd paths that naturally form to go around an obstacle not offering good footing or an easy to follow route. The major stream crossings trickled water and a few were dry and luckily for us no wet feet. Interestingly enough, here in the wilderness the trail re-routers built small
pyramid shaped rock cairns to mark each side of the stream beds. There are also little triangle tent signs pointing to designated camping areas. The further we hiked, the river slowly narrowed. The Eisenhower trail crosses the river on our left and climbs all the way up to the Crawford Path below Eisenhower’s summit. We continued on and we looked for a spur path to the Dry River Falls, if it still exists we didn’t find it and with all the blow downs we didn’t bushwhack. When we reached the Dry River Shelter #3 we ate lunch and poked around the area. The
natural log shelter has a metal roof that is in remarkably good condition. We could see that the flood waters went around its location and spared the shelter an early destruction date. Shelters #1 and #2 were removed when they were deemed unsafe. Here its roof cap should be replaced and some of the pieces of roofing should be re-nailed but the timbers seem free from rot. The AMC White Mountain Guide Book warns that whenever major maintenance is required that Shelter #3 will be removed. Well, if they don’t repair the roof it is going to be destroyed much sooner than later. A number of herd paths to the river and a large dead spruce tree lying lengthwise obscured the trail above the shelter. Saw cut marks from old blow down removal are the best thing to follow since there are no painted blazes. When the trail starts to rise into Oakes Gulf, the trail crosses through a tangle of blow downs in a fir wave that provides a wide open view of the steep walls around us and of Mount Washington’s summit cone. The trail crew certainly had to work hard to cut through this mess. Our eyes were filled with beauty all day. Our ears filled with only the sounds of water running between the rocks in the river bed, a few bird songs and now and then a squirrel rustling the leaves along the trail. No moose poop on the trail but there were a good number of moose tracks in the muddy spots along the way. Andm except for the man we saw early onm we didn’t see another soul until we reached the top of Oakes Gulf. The climb up the headwall of Oakes Gulf was fun and above treeline we could see what felt like forever down into the valley and to all the mountains very far into southern New Hampshire. As we descended to the Lake of the Clouds we could see dozens of See patenaude on 21

people up on top of Mount Monroe and dozens more on the other trails that connect here. The hut was boarded up for the winter and dozens more people were sitting around it enjoying the sunshine. Bryan, Becca and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t linger at the lake or the hut and we continued straight up to Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit. We made our way through other hikers gathered on the top and we marched over its high point before
settling to find our own little piece of paradise. We too enjoyed the sunshine and the mountaintop panorama. We took the long way to get there but that was the point of the day. Down the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail we descended along the headwaters of the Ammonoosuc River. The trail is steep and rough but since it goes directly to the Lake of the Clouds and it is part of one of the shorter routes to the summit of
Near the top of the Oakes Gulfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headwall we enjoyed the sight of Mount Monroe.
The Old Rock Pile, Mount Washington, is a lovely view from the top of Oakes Gulf. The Dry River Trail is 9.6 miles long and has splendid vistas up the Valley to Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominent summit cone.
Mount Washington and Mount Monroe it is heavily used. We passed a lot of people going down and even a few on their way up in the late afternoon. The ledges from the hut to the pretty Gem Pool were just as steep and tricky as ever. Bryan commented on the difference between the Ammo and the Dry River Trailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tread way over the rock and ledgesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Ammo was worn and slick and the infrequently used Dry River Trail on the other side was rough and grippy.
When we reached the Cog Station we watched passengers load. No more black coal smoke blows from its stack; its biodiesel powered now. We picked a pretty day to go to the mountains. Have fun.

Yes, the wheelbarrow pusher was a stud, but his wife in the wheelbarrow must have weighed 200 pounds. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a chance. Anyway, the race commenced and I led halfway around but ran out of gasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;figuratively speakingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and got passed. I rallied down the home stretch to the roar of the crowd, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch up. Then I collapsed. But the race fans loved it. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my sage advice to Chris and Company at NHMS. 1)Make the July race an evening race. 2)Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give away any hot dogs. 3)Try having that quarter mile wheelbarrow race.

for a DIY home energy audit. Seal Air Leaks According to the U.S. Department of Energy, sealing air leaks around the house can save up to 30 percent of energy costs annually. To find leaks, conduct a thorough visual inspection for gaps and cracks by baseboards, where the walls and ceiling meet, around door frames, and near cable and phone line wall plates. Spot a gap? Caulk it. Use painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tape for a cleaner job. Hold the caulking gun at an angle for best results, and apply in a continuous stream. Improve insulation around windows and doors with weather-stripping. Measure the gap you need to fill to identify the width of weather-stripping needed and
determine whether you should apply it from the inside or outside. Before starting, read the package instructions to ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using the right materials. Cut to size and install. Lastly, check if your fireplace flue is open. If so, close it when not in use for additional savings. Make Smart Upgrades One quick way to check your windows for inefficiencies is to look for condensation, frost and other moisture. The Department of Energy also recommends closing your windows on a dollar bill. If you can easily pull the bill out, the window might be losing substantial energy and may require repair or replacement. Additionally, ENERGY STAR reports that homSee AUDIT on 33

Old Concrete Laundry Sink Will Clean Up Nicely
$115 SCwhim ney ee
Fully Insured
by Tim Carter
Syndicated Columnist
DEAR TIM: I have a 1938 Cape Cod stone house with a behemoth laundry sink in the basement. It appears to be made of concrete, soap stone or something similar and has two giant tubs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supported by a steel stand thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in pretty good shape with some minor rust. Can you identify it? How long have these sinks been around? How can I clean and restore it? Also, the faucet holes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t standard size or distance can I fill and drill new ones? --Chris R., Lexington, Ky. DEAR CHRIS: You bet I can identify it. Among other things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a master plumber and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned and moved several of these monster sinks. Believe it or not youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the proud owner of a collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s item. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a marvelous precast concrete laundry tub thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly indestructible. My research shows the first generation of these wonderful sinks was displayed for the world to see at the 1867 Paris Exposition. A man by the name of Joseph Monier was a gardener who started making steel-reinforced concrete
This is a magnificent concrete laundry tub thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stood the test of time and can serve many future generations once cleaned up. tubs and pots because he was dissatisfied with clay and wood pots that would fall apart. Concrete is strong when you try to compress it, but if you try to stretch or bend it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weak. Steel is exceptionally strong if you try to stretch it. When you combine the concrete and steel in the right configuration, you can make beams, columns, suspended slabs, bridges, boats and even laundry tubs! I was lucky enough to have concrete laundry tubs in the first two houses I owned. The sinks come in different models, with one, two- or three-basin sinks. The sinks weigh hundreds of pounds. I believe the reason
theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so strong is because the manufacturers decided to make the concrete mix quite rich. They added enough Portland cement so the concrete probably tested out at 6,000 pounds per square inch or higher compressive strength. Years ago when the sinks were made, this extra cement probably only cost the manufacturers a nickel since thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that much cement volume in each sink. What a wise decision it was! The top lip of your sink is made from steel so the edge wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chip. The workmanship that went into creating these sinks is of the highest quality. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen hundreds of them in

Although you may prefer to forget, last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subfreezing temperatures may not be an isolated occurrence. Weather experts are already discussing if El Nino and arctic air from a polar vortex will cause colder than normal winter weather throughout the country. Is your home ready to withstand the chill? Smart homeowners are taking time now to prepare their homes for the harsh weather. Winterizing not only helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside, but also helps lower your energy bill. Fortunately, some of the improvements that have the biggest impact are also easy to do and surprisingly affordable.

1. Seal Gaps And Cracks The average midsize U.S. home has a half mile of gaps and cracks according to www.energystar.gov. Cold air infiltrates through those spaces causing your furnace to work overtime. An easy way to combat the problem is to use Great Stuff(TM) Gaps & Cracks to fill openings around electrical outlets, plumbing pipes, doors, dryer vents and more. Sealing your home takes just a few hours whether you do it yourself or work with a contractor. Visit dowgreatstuff.com/ winterize to learn more. 2. Reverse Fan Blades Your ceiling fans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just valuable during summer - they can help reduce energy costs by circulating warm air that rises to the top of rooms. To ensure your fan is circulating the air correctly, you need to reverse the blades. Most modern ceiling fans have a handy switch that controls the blade direction. During the winter, set the blades to spin clockwise to help warm rooms and set to counterclockwise during summer for cooling
breezes. 3. Eliminate Drafty Windows Have you ever felt a draft as you walked by your window? Gaps around windows are a major source of heat loss. Seal out those drafts with Great Stuff(TM) Window & Door Insulating Foam Sealant. This specially formulated lowpressure sealant is easy to apply and insulates the window without bending the frame when properly applied. Another great tip is to open the curtains during the daylight hours on south-facing windows so the sun can help heat your home naturally. Close curtains when the sun sets to reduce the chill. 4. Install An Adjustable Thermostat An adjustable thermostat is an effective tool for maintaining a comfortably warm home and cutting heating costs. If you have one but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it set, now is the time to learn how. By adjusting the temperature down while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleeping or away, you can save plenty of money.

turning your thermostat back 10 to 15 degrees for 8 hours, you can save 5 to 15 percent a year on your heating bill, according to energy.gov. 5. Tune Up Your Furnace If meteorologistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; predictions are correct, your furnace will be working hard this winter. Make sure it is working effectively and efficiently by scheduling a tune-up now. A qualified technician will check the coils and clean and lubricate important mechanical parts. Some utility companies offer free checkups to customers, so be sure to ask about your options. In addition to a tune-up, remember to change your furnace filter once a month during the heating season to maintain proper air flow. smith from 7

Over the next six months, the student/teacher teams selected will focus on finding out all they can about their fallen Hometown serviceman by contacting family members who might still be alive and researching as much as they can about their subject. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is quite amazing what some of them have found,â&#x20AC;? said Gary Pettit who is Director of Communications for National History Day which promotes the Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In one recent case a student uncovered two families who did not know each other, one in France and one in Pennsylvania, who were related to a serviceman who was killed at Normandy. Both families made the trip to the ceremony where the student delivered the eulogy. It was quite emotional as they met.â&#x20AC;? In June of 2016, all of the selected student/teacher teams will fly to Washington D.C. at their own expense (the only expense that will be required in the ten day journey, boarding
and meals will be paid for by the Institute). After a reception at the White House, sponsored by the White House Historical Association, they will start a five-day learning adventure where both the students and teachers will have access to primary source material from World War II at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. Guest speakers will teach them about the importance of D-Day and Operation Overlord to the outcome of World War II. After Washington D.C. it is on to France for five days (all expenses included) where they will walk on both Utah and Omaha beaches where the battles of D-Day took place. They will visit a World War II museum as well as a church which served as an infirmary for the many wounded. The student/teacher teams will also visit cemeteries of not just the military members but also civilian cemeteries and those with German soldiers. On the final day, the teams will go to the American Cemetery in Normandy where they will honor their silent hero with a graveside eulogy. This is truly an amazing See heroes on 35

Leni. Just in time for Halloween, a movie filled with deep shadows, dark secrets, and a surprisingly timeless mix of humor and horror that will keep you guessing. â&#x20AC;˘ Thursday, Nov. 12, 6:30 p.m.: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really Big Stars: An Elephant Double Feature.â&#x20AC;?

In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (1927), shot on location in rural Siam (now Thailand), a native family in the back country battles the jungle for survival.

fight. Tell that to David of David and Goliath fame. Rather than just living quietly and carefully, we need to look HOPELESS CHANGE right in the eye. We need to debunk the belief that YOU cannot do anything. The Progressive Left has fed us that lie for decades and decades and we have been complicit by
fearing to take on the debate. The degree to which we put our faith and courage out there, will be the degree to which we will succeed. Being careful and wary will just not get it done. So, go to your churches, school board/town meetings, political events and speak up about what YOU see on the horizon. Do not
doubt yourself. Write letters to your area newspapers, online articles,you’re your public servants – make a list of their contact information so it is handy for you to use when they step out of line. REMEMBER, THEY WORK FOR YOU. YOU PAY THEIR SALARY (federally at least). Get on social media. It is a powerful herald for truth to combat the Progressive Left agenda of disinformation and outright lies. We need YOU on line to bring the light of truth for others to see. No more fear. Do not let the Left tell you your voice doesn’t count. There are more of us than them. Remember, no one believed David could defeat Goliath. All it took was courage, faith, and a little stone. WE ARE ALL POTENTIAL DAVIDS! Hopeless change. Don’t you believe it. We got this. “Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this is to see what we believe.” St. Augustine
sowell from 9
Contrary to the thinking -- or lack of thinking -among today’s Republican leaders, Reagan did not go to these Democratic voters and pander to them by offering them a watereddown version of what the Democrats were offering. He took his case to them and talked -- yes, TALKED -- to let them know what his own agenda offered to them and to the country. Today’s Republicans who proclaim a need to “reach out” to a wider constituency almost invariably mean pandering to those groups’ current beliefs, not showing them how your agenda and your principles -- if you have any -- apply to their situation and to the good of the country. You won’t swing a whole constituency of Democrats your way, and neither did Ronald Reagan. But he swung enough of them to win elections and to force Congressional Democrats to respect the “Reagan Democrats” he had won over.
There are issues on which Republicans can appeal to blacks -- school choice being just one obvious and important issue. And it is unlikely that all Hispanic voters want open borders, through which criminals can come in and settle in their communities. But unspoken words will never tap these sources of votes, nor perhaps even convince Congressional Republicans. And if the quarterback is unsure what to do, being first and goal on the ten-yard line may not mean much.

case. The status of the alleged assailant remains unknown. This spring, Walden Bello, chairman of the Overseas Workers Affairs Committee in the Philippine House of Representatives, revealed that one of the abused workers â&#x20AC;&#x153;was sent back to Jeddah to take care of the motherâ&#x20AC;? of the alleged attacker. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope the worker hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run into Meshael Alayban, wife of Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, who is allegedly back in her home country after wiggling out of felony human trafficking charges in Orange County, Calif., two years ago. A Kenyan maid escaped from Alaybanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compound and told police

use the word terrorism in describing movements such as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This may be part of his wider effort to marginalize the publicity for Islamic radicalism rather than overstating its threat. Naturally in a country like Jordan being buffeted by waves of refugees from neighboring Syria, the dangers of a spreading conflict are equal to the humanitarian burden the Hashemite Kingdom bears; today Syrian refugees constitute 20 percent of Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population. Though Jordan (along with Lebanon and Turkey) have been taking the overwhelming numbers of fleeing Syrians, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a serious shortfall in international aid to help with the humanitarian heavy lifting. Jordan expects to be hosting one million refugees by the end of this year. Speaking separately to correspondents, Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Prime Minister Nasser Judeh advised, that the large numbers of people fleeing the Syrian civil war into Jordan and Lebanon, are â&#x20AC;&#x153;prompting a sense of urgencyâ&#x20AC;? in the region. He warned his country has â&#x20AC;&#x153;reached a saturation point,â&#x20AC;? when it comes to offering shelter and aid to
that Alayban confiscated her passport, refused to abide by an employment contract and forbade the worker from returning to her home country -where she had an ailing 7-year-old daughter. LAPD officers discovered four other domestic workers from the Philippines at Alaybanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate who pleaded to be freed from Saudi bondage. But after handing over a cool $5 million in bail, Alaybanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers had the charges dropped. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll note that most of these cases of oppression and subjugation involve rich and powerful assailants â&#x20AC;&#x153;of colorâ&#x20AC;? exploiting poor victims â&#x20AC;&#x153;of color.â&#x20AC;? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t their lives matter, too? Apparently not. Both
refugees. Despite a strong and committed UN presence in Jordan, King Abdullah conceded â&#x20AC;&#x153;we are still facing huge shortfalls, cuts and threats to vital UN programs and agencies, including UNRWA, UNHCR and WFP.â&#x20AC;? The Amman government is working closely with the European Union to assist in the growing humanitarian burden. The EU is currently the biggest donor to the aid effort. Until Syrians agree on a long overdue political settlement ending the civl war, the refugee crisis throughout the Middle East and into Europe will show no signs of abating. ********************** John J.
