In the hospitality industry, change may be the only constant, an unwritten rule that has

proven particularly true these past few seasons for many local restaurants. For South End Pizza & Seafood in Laconia, the pandemic has

changed the frequency with which people order takeout and delivery. “The takeout and delivery business has grown considerably due to the pandemic,”

said Owner and Operator Micah Shoemaker. “2020 was our best year and then 2021 was even better.” Acknowledging the See LEVEY on 32

A State Of Mind To The Editor: After reading “An Old Friend” from the January 13, 2022 “Weirs Times” promoting Mr. Smith’s worthy organization F.A.T.S.O-Flatlanders Adjusting To Solitary Oblivion, which I plan to join, I am motivated to start a much-needed group -F.L.I.N.O. Flatlanders in Name Only. It has long-been my contention that Flatlanderism is more a state of mind than a state of former residency. Growing up and up until December of 2021 living in Boston, I never held views that many of my fellow Flatlanders share and since moving to Alton, I have met many a Flatlander that share my worldview. Here is a list of things that we F. L. I. N. O. members believe and support: 1, We are on a first name basis with the owners of the local gun shop, hardware store, and the staff at the town dump. (We think the term “recycling center” is a flatlander construct that we will work to change.) 2, We oppose plastic bag bans. 3, We like low taxes, no sales taxes, no income taxes, and will vote and support for candidates who believe the same 4,We don’t think that every town should have a mall. Indeed, we like towns that “roll up their sidewalks by 8:00 PM. 5, We love the sound of fireworks. 6, We not care if our neighbors has five or six junk cars on their property. 7, We own at least five gas powered tools. 8, We use the word “stewardship” instead of ‘sustainability.”

9, We agree with the bumper sticker “Welcome to New Hampshire. Now Go Home.” 10,We burn wood especially wood on our own land. 11,We enjoy the sound of neighbors firing their AR 15s. 12,We love seeing U.S. flags displayed around our town. 13,We will volunteer to help flatlanders who miss living in their former states to move back to them. 14,We have a batch of tokens from Funs pot and 15. We eagerly look forward to the next issue of The Weirs Times. Hal Shurtleff, Alton, NH.

Thanks To Dolan To The Editor: Thank you Mr. John Dolan for taking the time and incurring the expense to place your one page ad congratulating two heroic un-sheep like democrat senators. I have contacted both of their offices thanking them and urging them to continue. It is a shame that our NH elected heroes couldn’t have stood up like these two did. Sweep them all out this November and get the country back on track. We are not a Marxist nation and I hope we never will be. Karl Marx was a failed alcoholic thinker, not someone to follow. Once again, thank you very much Mr. Dolan. Sincerely, Steve Fiorini Laconia

China Controls Critical Supplies To The Editor: Alan Dowd documents some problems with China in The American Legion Magazine of December 2020, and I liberally quote from the article. The COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted the adverse impact on the world attributable to China’s domination of the production of medicines, personal protective equipment and other medical supplies. Prior to the pandemic China produced “ 35.9 percent of America’s antibiotics, 49.8 percent of our medical bandages, 71.7 percent of our facemasks and 77.2 percent of our plastic gloves. During the pandemic China “ quietly managed to buy up much of the world’s N95 masks. “ China, a potential adversary, also controls the production of rare earth elements, which are used in the manufacture of a wide array of products, including “ cell phones, televisions, vehicle engines, computers, lasers, industrial magnets, fiber-optics, and superconductors, and they are also used in our military hardware such as “ F-35 aircraft and our M1A2 tank. “ A number of friendly countries are working together to move the manufacture of critical supplies and elements away from China to facilities in Australia, Japan, South Korea, India, Europe and Latin America, but the U.S. cannot rely on foreign manufacturers for these critical products. We must speed up our manufacturing of these items in our country. Donald Moskowitz Londonderry, NH.

History Of Black Service Members At Aviation Museum LONDONDERRY - Jacob C. Hutchinson, Alexander Burwell, Jimmy Stinson—who are these men, and what do they have in common? They were all Black men who served their country during World War II, and they were all stationed at the U.S. Army’s Grenier Air Base in Manchester, N.H., now Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. For Black History Month, the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire invites you to learn their names and many others in a presentation about the lives of Black soldiers stationed at Grenier during World War II. The presentation will be given by Leah Dearborn, the museum’s assistant director. It will be followed by a “Changing of the Planes” ceremony, during which three model aircraft built by Tuskegee Airman Howard Carter will be placed prominently on display in the museum. The ceremony will follow a lecture about the history of Black military service in New Hampshire and New England, with a particular focus on the history of Grenier Air Field. Through their own words in The Beacon, a newspaper that circulated on the base during the 1940s, you’ll also learn about life in ‘the Village,’ a segregated barracks where Black soldiers were billeted. The program starts at 7 p.m. and is open to the public. Tickets available at the door: $10 per person, general admission. All proceeds support the non-profit Aviation Museum’s education programming. The Aviation Museum is located at 27 Navigator Road, off Harvey Road, in Londonderry, N.H. For more information, visit www.aviationmuseumofnh.org or call (603) 669-4820.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Native Or Not I have been writing these columns for twenty-six years and boy are my hands tired. But enough with the bad jokes, I need to by Brendan Smith discuss someWeirs Times Editor thing very serious this week. As you might know, these columns started as me telling my stories in adjusting to life in Central New Hampshire as a Flatlander from Long Island, New York, who moved here in 1985. Unbeknownst to me, over the years I would become the go-to “expert” for those in the media whenever the subjects of Flatlanders came up. (Perhaps you saw me back in 2004 in the famous throw down I had with Bill O’Reilly when he had his show on FOX news. Some folks say I may have broken the record for getting in the most sentences before O’Reilly could interrupt at four.) Probably the most controversial and sensitive subject I have tackled over the years is what actually constitutes a Flatlander. The general rule has always been that if you are born elsewhere and you move later to New Hampshire, you will always be a Flatlander. Of course, many longtime residents of the Granite State are not happy with this designation. Still, there are some who were born in another state, who live in New Hampshire that are considered natives instead of Flatlanders and they may not know it and have been going through their lives needlessly stressed over this. I am only my job by bringing this to their attention. There is a rather obscure rule in the books here in New Hampshire that is not really public knowledge about all of this. (Some say it had purposely been kept secret as part of a grander statewide

scheme to keep many in the dark. Some believe the Illuminati have something to do with it, though evidence is hard to find.) The obscure rule is that if you are born outside of the State of New Hampshire, but your parents are natives, then you might just be considered a native yourself. But, before some of you start your celebration, you need to know there is a catch to all of this. If the reason your native parents (or just mom really) gave birth to you out of state was due to “unforeseen circumstances” then you will most likely be considered a native. If the circumstances were not “unforeseen” then you are still not a native buy technically a Flatlander. I am pretty sure I am not making this up. I have yet to find any court cases involving someone who insists they are a native even though they were born elsewhere due to “unforeseen circumstances” (and I did look for ten minutes), but I was be curious to know what those circumstances might be. I happened to find that there is really only one instance considered “unforeseen” according to this rule: the birth was unexpected while the parents were travelling outside of the state. True. I think. What those unforeseen circumstances are might be hard to prove. So, another addition was added to the rule, if you were born in an out of state hospital that happened to be in a border town, but still the closest hospital, then you are still considered a native. I believe this came about when a native NH state legislator was aghast to find out his grandchildren had been born across the state line and were now considered Massachusetts native, so he introduced this legislation I’m eighty-five percent sure on this one. One circumstance that make sense is if your mom, who is from New Hampshire was out of state

while serving in the armed forces, then you will still be considered a native. Early unexpected births while out of state would also be considered “unexpected circumstances” so I would imagine all you would need is a doctor’s note on this one. Once again, not completely sure. Personally, I think there should be on added circumstance to this rule. Since New Hampshire does not have its own in-state professional sports teams, one has to travel to Massachusetts to take in a game. With all the success of Boston teams lately, tickets are hard to come by. So, if you happen to score a pair, you have a certain obligation to go to the game, even if pregnant mom is pretty close to the due date. If she gives birth during the seventh-inning stretch (for example) that should be considered a “circumstance.” Dad comes home with a foul ball, mom with a bundle of joy. So, if you think you’ve been wronged on the “unforeseen circumstance” thing, call your state rep and see if they can change things. So, with all of this being said. Let’s get back to the bad jokes. A Maine native, a Vermont native and a New Hampshire native were riding in a car. The Maine native threw a potato out the window and said, “We have too many of these in Maine, need to get rid of some.” Then the Vermont man threw out a bottle of maple syrup and said, “We have too many of these in Vermont.” Then the New Hampshire native threw out a guy from Massachusetts. I love that one, after all I’m from New York. I can anticipate the angry letters and phone calls already. I will be at Cold Spring Farm in Alton, NH on Saturday, March 5th, for an evening of storytelling and music. See the ad on page 9 for more details.

#FreeMartyG: Exposing America’s Secret Prisons

Marty Gottesfeld, 37, is an American political prisoner. There’s just no other way to describe the self-taught, nonviolent techie/medical freedom activist now locked away in solitary confinement at a secret federal detention facility in Marion, Illinois -- after being transferred this month from a different secret center in Terre Haute, Indiana. Both are known as “communicaby Michelle Malkin tions management units” (CMUs) in prison Syndicated Columnist industrial complex bureaucrat-ese. Or you could just call them un-American penitentiary black holes. Twice -- last June and this week -- I’ve asked the federal Bureau of Prisons to explain why Marty is being held in solitary confinement, how long he has been squirreled away and on what grounds he was transferred. “For privacy, safety, and security reasons,” I was told, “the BOP does not discuss any individual inmate’s conditions of confinement to include housing quarters or reasons for transfer.” This past Sunday marked four full months that Marty has been in solitary and blocked from communicating with loved ones or the media. I first learned of Marty’s plight -- and his heroism -- five years ago from his loyal and vigilant wife, Dana, whose words in defense of the dissident action he took that earned him a 10-year federal sentence have never left me: “It was the right thing to do.” A quick recap for those who have never heard of, or have forgotten, the “Free Marty G” nightmare. In 2013, a young girl named Justina Pelletier was ripped from her parents’ custody by Boston Children’s Hospital. The teen, who has mitochondrial disease and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, had gone to BCH after coming down with a severe case of the flu. Instead of receiving top-notch care and attention at BCH, however, Justina was medically kidnapped and recklessly re-diagnosed with a psychological condition, “somatoform disorder.” Justina was dragged from BCH’s neurology department to its infamous psych ward, where she was reprimanded for being unable to move her bowels or walk unassisted in her weakened state. At the Wayside Youth and Family Support Network residential treatment center where she was confined, she and her family recounted to me in my 2018 documentary on the case, she was harassed See MALKIN on 36

The COVID-19 Impact of Expressive Individualism

Philosopher Robert Bellah once posited that modern Western human beings identify themselves in a peculiar way: as emotional cores, surrounded by baser material. According to Bellah, we are exby Ben Shapiro pressive individualists Syndicated Columnist -- meaning that “each person has a unique core of feeling and intuition that should unfold or be expressed if individuality is to be realized.” This mode of self-definition wars with older, more traditional modes, which suggest that our identities lie in how we interact with the world and society around us. Expressive individualism, by contrast, suggests that we are not truly ourselves unless the world confirms all of our feelings and intuitions. As professor Carl Trueman points out, this viewpoint is essentially solipsistic; he explains, “When identity is psychologized, and the pursuit of happiness becomes a subjective, psychological matter, anything that challenges that paradigm is deemed damaging and oppressive.” We see this phenomenon most obviously in the bizarre insistence by transgender advocates that not only are they men trapped in women’s bodies or vice versa, but that society mirror that incorrect self-perception. But expressive individualism also manifests in other contexts, such as belief in racial essentialism, denial of parental rights, and objection to science itself. It even crops up in reference to COVID-19. COVID-19 should be a paradigmatic example of where expressive individualism fails: It is an exogenous shock to the individual, a reality that exists no matter the subjective thoughts or feelings. The data map out individuals’ risk factors;

particular actions, like vaccination, can lower the risk of hospitalization or death for most people, no matter the intuitions of individuals who object. All of which mean that we should be able to track that data, and to change our response to the pandemic based on new data. And yet we have now, as a society, psychologized even COVID-19 in expressive individualist terms. Thus, after Bari Weiss pointed out on Bill Maher’s show that the public health establishment has failed time and again to follow the data, that the vast majority of those who have been vaccinated are safe from COVID-19, and that we ought to consider life returning to normal, a massive backlash ensued -- backlash from those least vulnerable to COVID-19, who have now internalized a sense of COVID-19 moral superiority. Thus, Sara Haines of “The View” lamented, “I think some of the things we’ve learned in this pandemic will stay the same. I may never ride the subway without a mask, I may never go indoors to big crowds and feel comfortable without a mask.” Michelle Goldberg of The New York Times explained, “What you can’t do is force other people, whose vulnerabilities might be much greater than your own, to agree with your risk assessments and join you in moving on while the pandemic still rages.” But that’s precisely what Goldberg and Haines are doing -- forcing other people to take measures that the science does not support in order to maintain their emotional comfort. Boosters are not stopping omicron. Nothing short of N95 masks is stopping omicron. The disease is now endemic, which is why Dr. Hans Kluge of the World Health Organization’s European region stated this week, “Omicron offers plausible hope for stabilization and normalization.” But there will be no normalization for those who have made pandemic paranoia a feature See SHAPIRO on 36

Sick City San Francisco’s liberal mayor declared a “state of emergency” to try to deal with the city’s “nasty streets.” How did it get so bad by John Stossel Journalist MiSyndicated Columnist chael Shellenberger’s new book, “San Fransicko,” argues that it happened because of progressive ideas. “The town I love is sick,” says Shellenberger in my new video.

Metzler of Iran whose UN Syndicated Columnist membership dues were in arrears and thus barring the country’s General Assembly voting rights, was figuratively bailed out by an unlikely source, a hidden hand. Iran’s voting rights were restored with a flick of the cyber switch when South Korea magically released $18 million in Iran’s sanc-

justice causes. He still supports those ideas, but “it just went too far.” In 2014, California politicians decided to end mass incarceration. It’s a noble goal. America locks up a higher percentage of its people than any other country. Jails are overcrowded. People in jail are more likely to learn to be better criminals than to be rehabilitated. So California converted many nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors. People who steal less than $950 worth of items are no longer jailed. Proponents said this would divert money from prisons that could go to mental health and drug

treatment programs. But not jailing people who break laws had nasty unintended consequences. Shoplifters steal right in front of security guards. Police look the other way. They know if they make an arrest, they’ll face hours of paperwork and the person arrested will just return to the street. Cars are broken into 74 times a day. “None of us want mass incarceration,” says Shellenberger, who voted for the law to stop jailing people. “But that was a recipe for disaster.” Because no one is arrested for camping on the street, San Francisco is now filled with tent cities

Iran’s Un Voting Rights Restored By A Hidden Hand

tions frozen assets thus delivering the overdue payment. Those funds were frozen in South Korean banks where Iran has more than $7 billion in cash for oil shipments from its brisk commerce with the East Asian state. It was widely suggested by media sources that the Biden Administration quietly supported this move by Seoul’s leftist government who midwifed the diplomatic deal. The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control facilitated the release of the funds. Iran’s assets in South Korean banks remained frozen since the Trump administration tightened sanctions on Iran. You can’t make this up. Tehran thus regained its vot-

ing rights and privileges in the 193-member General Assembly. Article 19 of the UN Charter clearly states, “A Member of the United Nations which is in arrears in the payment of its financial contributions to the Organization shall have no vote in the General Assembly if the amount of its arrears equals or exceeds the amount of the contributions due from it for the preceding two full years.” A word about the UN’s contributions or assessed annual dues member states must pay.

In my video, one crack addict said she stays in San Francisco because it is “more lenient.” In other cities, she said, she’d be in jail. Other cities, like Miami, do treat the homeless differently. “They don’t let people use drugs in public, and they built sufficient homeless shelters,” says Shellenberger. In San Francisco, new homeless shelters are blocked by progresSee STOSSEL on 28

cent or $481 million. Islamic Iran has a 0.37 percent assessment and must pay $11.7 million. Given the lingering political animosity between Washington and Tehran since Jimmy Carter’s tenure in the White House in the late 1970’s when Iran’s Islamic regime came to power, it would hardly seem logical than any American Administration would actually help facilitate Iran’s voting rights in the United Nations of all places. By not paying its annual membership assessment, the Islamic Republic of Iran was considered in arrears and thus could not vote in the Assembly.

mance any day of the year. There are SmashUps specifically for Valentine’s Day, with romantic messages from celebrities like Michael Bolton and Smokey Robinson. However, these ecards aren’t just for couples on Valentine’s Day. There are plenty of options for love and friendship, like hilarious videos of talking dogs, cats and koalas. The customizable ecards let you send personalized messages to your boo, your bestie and your brother for a variety of holidays and occasions. 2. FaceTime. Couples who are separated by distance might have to settle for a candlelit FaceTime instead of the

in-person dinner they had in mind. Luckily, romance in 2022 means technology can keep us connected, even when we’re apart. If you’re celebrating from a distance this Valentine’s Day, consider shipping gifts to your significant other or gal pals and opening them together

ing some fun with online dating apps like Bumble, Hinge and Tinder. They’re not just for those looking for love. Many have friendship features, like Bumble BFF, which works the same way, but connects you with others looking for friendships too. This can be particularly useful for those who are moving to new cities, seeking roommates, or looking to network with others who are around the same age or share similar interests.

while you’re on a video call, or make the same recipe and eat it together on FaceTime.

Slavery And Education In NHThen And Now the enslavement of African-Americans, or Africans who were brought to America, and their offspring, who by virtue of being born here are Americans with an African heritage. We do know that ships from Portsmouth, New Hampshire went to Africa and brought back enslaved people from that continent. But I read that people who bought slaves pre-

Contributing Writer

If I write on this page that slavery was never a huge issue in colonial New Hampshire I might cause a big uproar of objection to the statement. I wasn’t here in those bygone days, but I have to wonder if it is more of an issue in New Hampshire now than it was when there were slaveholders in the state. Back then, with communities having little contact with each other, the residents appeared to have little thought of passing laws concerning the practice of slavery, but now there seems to be heated controversy concerning how our teachers should teach children about slavery and racism. There were slaves in our state, but being a slave owner was never widespread. When I was in grammar school, now called elementary school, teachers, along with the books I read, emphasized the positive traits of famous people, and

Picture from wood-cut depicting sale of slave. (New York Public Library) now, from what I have been reading, they want to make sure we know about all their negative traits. Back then, more than a few years ago, George Washington was presented as the father of our country, as well as a military hero in the American Revolutionary War. We were told the story of the bad George cutting down the cherry tree and the good George not being able to lie about it. We’ve been told for years that the whole story was a lie, though meant to teach us that we shouldn’t lie. And I think, if I recall correctly, we were also told that the adult George owned slaves. Pictures of Presidents Washington and Lincoln adorned the wall

of our classroom, and we were made to understand that Lincoln cut wood outside the cabin that was his old Kentucky home before he moved to Illinois and became President of these then divided states. We learned that he freed the slaves, but not that he was first willing to allow some states to keep slavery if that would save the union from being divided. I learned in Sunday School that slavery did not begin in the United States, and that a prominent family was enslaved in Egypt for four hundred years, during which time they grew to become a nation. So how about slavery in New Hampshire? When we think about slavery we think about

This series of Letters From God is an attempt to put the thoughts of God as revealed in the Scriptures as they relate to individuals and the nation of the USA.

nore my prophetic word through my two prophets (Jeremiah 6:16). Their fate was sealed back then but your fate still lies before you. Will you follow in their footsteps or perhaps be like Nineveh? When my prophet Jonah warned them of their impending doom, they recognized that the creator God was about to end their national existence due to their egregious sinful practices. From the King to the lowest subject, they repented. They acknowledged their sin and as a result they enjoyed a stay of execution for over 100 years. Unfortunately, they returned to their ways and Nineveh and Assyria joined their predecessors on the scrap heap of nations who once were exalted but were humbled by me, because of their disobedience. You alone will determine whether or not this will be the time that your decline will be fatal or perhaps delayed for a future time, because you chose to humble yourselves and return to me. One thing is certain, and I have made this clear in previous letters, your country will not be leading the future events of the consummation of human history. Because of your rich heritage of faith in me and in the Scriptures, which recognizes the role of Israel in bringing forth my son, the Messiah, you have been a protector and guardian of my people. Because of the

strength of your nation and commitment to my chosen people, Israel, they have been allowed to return to their homeland and to prosper despite being surrounded by a sea of enemies, who have openly vowed and tried to destroy them. But you will not be the protector in the end times. During those days a world leader of a ten-nation confederacy based in Rome will covenant to secure the safety of my people and subsequently and treacherously turn on my people (Revelation 7:9,12-14). But note, it will not be the United States of America. Why? There will come a time, and you will determine that time, when you will be weakened and unable to defend my people. In answer to your question, will your country survive the decline we are experiencing, I say no. Your coming apart will cause you to fall in line with my prophecy recorded in my book, the Bible. No nation has ever turned as hard and fast from me as you have, especially in the recent past, and survived. You have brazenly defied my laws and commands. You have made yourself “gods” and have legislated things which I have called abominable (Isaiah 5:20). Yet, you too cover this rebellion with religious observances and platitudes. No, you cannot survive if you continue. If I were to allow you to proceed with immunity from judgment, I

Letters From God

QUESTION: Will Our Country Survive The Decline It Is Experiencing? Sadly, you’re coming apart. But as one of your preachers recently stated, you are also falling in line. In line with those other nations from history who rejected me. There is so much evidence of decline within your nation and you must recognize and take immediate action if you desire to remain sovereign and prosperous. I once raised up my Prophets, Isaiah and Jeremiah, during the period when Assyria was in decline yet strong enough to dismantle the 10 northern tribes of Israel and carry them into captivity (722 BC). At the same time Babylon was rising as the dominant world power and would soon end the sovereign control of the remaining two tribes by sacking them and carrying most into captivity (586 BC). I raised my Prophets up to sound the alarm that Israel was close to suffering the terrible consequences of rejecting me, living in open rebellion of me and my will, even as they masked their decay with religious observances. They still had time to avoid the catastrophic events that were before them, but they chose to ig-

would not only be in conflict with my nature by tolerating evil, which I cannot do, but I would also have to apologize for judging the nations who went before you and committed the same sins. I’d have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, to Assyria, to Babylon, to Persia and Greece and Rome. For each, in their time, chose to rebel against me, their creator God, and the laws I have established, and as a result lost their sovereignty, thus fading into obscurity only to be replaced by another. I will not have to apologize to those nations because I will be consistent. As I warned Israel through my prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah and a host of others, I warn you now. I am God, and I will be faithful to be a just judge to you as I’ve been to all the earth before you (Psalm. 9:8). If you continue in your ways you will not survive, but the question is when will the decline be complete? What will you choose? I love you enough to speak the truth. God These letters are written by a New Hampshire pastor.

My foot was finally feeling a little better so I figured I’d try a short bird walk. Turns out, it wasn’t ready for prime time. I walked a few hundred yards on the uneven snowy terrain and had to turn back. The little I did manage to walk was along a wood’s edge with good, thick brush forming a barrier. Perfect for birds to hide in. A lone white-throated sparrow and a lone tree sparrow were the only birds I saw, however. There was also a male cardinal, but he never left his protected spot among the bramble and I could only spy specks of red. On my way back, I noticed a white-breasted nuthatch and a woodpecker in a big tree beyond the truck. I figured it was worth a closer look because I had seen a yellow-bellied sapsucker in that very tree some time ago. It turned out to be a downy woodpecker and it had flown off to a more distant tree by the time I hobbled over there anyway. Not all was lost, though, as the detour led me to a small flock of eastern bluebirds. Some were perched in the low branches of a nearby tree and some were in the brush picking at berries of some sort. Many people are sur-

An eastern bluebird perches on a branch in New England last week. prised to see bluebirds in the winter, but like their American robin cousins, a good number of bluebirds stick with us throughout the winter. It was the first time I was able to get decent photos of bluebirds since I moved out of my house in the woods and into a more suburban downtown area. It’s a lot more tricky photographing them “in the wild” than it is on a prop branch near a feeder. A song sparrow and a few tufted titmice were the only other birds I saw before heading back to the truck. I also noticed a few crows flying to the tops of some evergreens towering over the scene. My mysterious foot ailment has kept me more or less cooped up for near-

ly two months now so it was nice to venture out again in search of birds. The walk didn’t last very long, but I enjoyed it just the same. It’s been a fairly strange winter for birds from what I can gather. Other than a few late fall sightings of snowy owls near Long Island Sound, I haven’t heard much about bird irruptions into New England this winter. I haven’t seen nor heard reports of red-breasted nuthatches, pine siskins or evening grosbeaks. Of course, the Steller’s sea eagle that has been spotted along the coast of Maine a few times has been stealing all the bird headlines this winter so maybe I have missed something. What about you? Have seen any siskins,

redpolls, grosbeaks or crossbills this winter. Drop me a line and let me know.

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

For many years the 1958 NFL Championship Game was touted as the “Greatest Game Ever.” The Baltimore Colts beat the New York Giants 23-17 in overtime at Yankee Stadium. There’d never been an overtime title contest before and as this game coincided with the emergence of television as a major sports viewing platform the game took on a legendary aura. But was it really the Greatest Game ever? It depends on who you talk to. The designation is obviously subjective. I always said that when there was finally a Super Bowl that went into overtime that there would be a new “Greatest Game Ever.” That happened on February 5, 2017, when the New England Patriots overcame a 28-3 third quarter deficit in Super Bowl LI to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime, 34-28. I and most Patriot fans and perhaps most NFL fans would elevate Super Bowl LI above that 1958 NFL title game in the Pantheon of Great Gridiron Games—although Falcon fans might disagree. But January’s NFL’s Divisional Playoff Weekend contests were games for the ages. The Saturday victories by the Bengals (over the host Titans) and the 49ers (over the host Packers) were thrillers. But as

Was the 1958 NFL Championship game the best football game ever? good as they were, they didn’t even compare to Sunday’s games. In a near reprise of Super Bowl LI, former Patriot QB Tom Brady rallied Tampa Bay’s Buccaneers from a 27-3 deficit to a 27-27 tie with the L.A. Rams. Overtime loomed but Brady never got his hands on the ball again. A late Buc defensive secondary breakdown allowed the Rams to kick a last second field goal to win 30-27. But as fabulous as that game was, it didn’t compare to the Buffalo Bill/Kansas City Chief thriller that followed. With two minutes to go KC led 26-22. At 1:54 Bill QB Josh Allen hit Gabriel Davis with a 27-yard TD pass on 4th and 13. Buffalo 29-26. At 1:02 KC QB Patrick Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill with a 64-tard touchdown pass. KC 33-29. At 0:13 Allen again connected with Davis on a TD pass. Buffalo 36-33. During the final 13 seconds a 19-yard pass from Mahomes to Hill

and then a 25-yard pass to Travis Kelce set up Harrison Butker for a 49-yard field goal attempt. It was good. 0:00 36-36. Overtime. The two teams had scored 24 points in less than two minutes. But as happened earlier in the day re: Brady, Allen never got to touch the ball again. Mahomes took the Chiefs downfield and hit Kelce for the game winner with an eight-yard TD toss. Final score: 42-36. 78 points total. The over/under was 54 and I had the under, which looked okay with two minutes to go. Another bad bet. But was this Chiefs/ Bills classic the new “Greatest Game Ever Played?” Yes. You betcha. Sports Quiz What pro football championship game took TWO overtimes to determine a winner? (Answer follows)

Real men may not eat quiche, but they do eat scrambled egg pie. I discovered quiche in my thirties. I cannot say for sure why I never had it prior to. Perhaps it had something to do with my being a decade behind my siblings and by the time I came along mom was just tired of cooking. We had scrambled eggs and omelets, nothing fancy, just eggs with a splash of milk. But seldom, if ever, do I recall having ¨stuff¨ in either. If mom wanted to get a little wild, maybe she would put a slice of American cheese into the omelet before a final fold, but never did we see anything like meats, veggies, or a variety of cheeses. Actually, the only difference in our house between a scrambled egg and an omelet was the time the eggs were allowed to sit undisturbed in the pan before being pushed around or flipped. But this is not a treatise to critique mothers´ cooking. At over 6 feet tall and nearing 200 pounds by the time I was 16, I obviously didn’t suffer from malnutrition and I dare say none of

us were competing for the title of ¨runt of the litter¨. Truth be told, I think that popular book of the early 1980’s, “Real Men Don´t Eat Quiche” did more to bring quiche back into American Cuisine than it ever did to preserve the masculinity of the average American male. We have John Wayne and Clint Eastwood to thank for setting the “Gold Standard” on that. While I find it hard to believe that either man would be seen with a plate made of fine bone china, sterling silver fork in hand with pinky extended, and delicately savoring a serving of quiche, I can see in my minds eye both seated atop a big hollow log next to an open fire, an old steel fork in one hand and a tin plate in the other. Perhaps only then would either man lift the lid from a cast iron dutch

oven nestled in a hot bed of coals and indulge in a big scoop of hot scrambled egg pie. Laced with bacon scraps, wild herbs and mushrooms, a side of cowboy beans, and a tin cup of steaming black coffee; yes, I think the likes of these two legends are but only a few who could convincingly demonstrate to a testosterone filled audience that real men CAN and DO indulge in “haute cuisine.” So why do I write of scrambled egg pie, … errh, quiche? Well, I opened the fridge the other day and, to my surprise, found no less than 78 eggs. Yes! Seventy-Eight eggs! Why, you ask, would anyone in their right mind have 78 eggs? Well, the question of my sanity aside, with a dozen chickens in the hen house and no customer base built up for eggs, we have

quite the windfall, and with each new day 6 to 8 more are ready for gathering. Refrigerator space was becoming as scarce as… well, you guessed it; hens teeth. We already had one of the kids´ dorm fridges from their college days See FEAST on 27

2022 NE POND HOCKEY CLASSIC Official NE Pond Hockey Classic Rules FROM PHC COMMISSIONER SCOTT CROWDER... If we all play by them we all have fun. We appreciate you taking the time to read the rules and we look forward to a weekend filled with everyone playing by them!

includes goals scored by players or awarded from minor penalties. (There is one rink monitor and many players, helping the rink monitor is encouraged) 19. Teams must give their opponents 1/2 ice after a goal is scored or an infraction takes place.

New England PHC teams play 4v4 1. The winner of a captain’s coin toss will determine which goal to defend. Teams will switch goals after first half. 2. All players must wear helmets and hockey skates. Protective equipment is optional but highly recommended. 3. No goalies, goalie equipment or sticks permitted. 4. All teams must have light and dark jerseys or uniforms. 5. All rinks will start and stop on the master horn. 6. Penalties will be called for rule infractions. Penalties called by Rink Monitors are final. A minor penalty will result in possession of the puck awarded to the opposing team. Rink Monitors will have the discretion to also award a goal to the opposing team when a minor penalty is flagrant and/or a team is consistently playing in a reckless manner. 7. Any major penalty, which includes any action that could

possibly injure another player, will result in that player being ejected from the tournament. The team that received the ejection will play the remainder of the tournament shorthanded (3 vs. 4) or (2 vs. 3). Rink official will determine major penalties. 8. Abuse of Rink Monitors will be considered a major penalty. This includes yelling, swearing, or arguing about calls. 9. No checking is allowed. Such action will result in a minor penalty unless deemed serious enough to be a major (Rink Monitor discretion). 10. No slapshots allowed. Such action will result in a minor penalty. 11. Players cannot fall or lay on the ice in an effort to protect the goal area. Such action will result in a minor penalty. 12. Goaltending is not allowed. A player may not patrol, “camp out” or remain stationary in the crease area and act as a goaltender. A defender may deflect the puck in the crease

area, but the defender must do so while continuing to move through the crease area. The crease area is defined as an imaginary box extending out four feet from the outside corners of the goal. 13. Contacting the puck with a stick above the waist will result in a loss of possession. 14. Saucer passes (i.e. pucks that are lifted low, below the knee) are acceptable. 15. If a puck goes out of bounds, the last team to touch it loses possession. During restart, the defender must give his opponent 2-stick lengths of space. 16. There are no off-sides or icing calls. 17. Setting picks in offensive zone is not allowed. Deference will be given to a defender in front of their own net where their progress is impeded by the pick or interference of an offensive player. Goals must be scored from the attacking side of center ice. 18. Rink Monitors will call out the score after each goal. This

by 8:00 a.m. on the first day of the tournament. No other substitutions throughout the tournament are allowed. The four to eight players that are on your roster (depending on division) at 8:00 a.m. on the first day of the event must be the same players that play on your team throughout the tournament.

20. Games will be composed of two 15-minute halves with a 2-minute halftime for the New England, Lake Champlain and Montana tourneys

25. Games start and stop on the master horn, for every minute a team is late they will be penalized a goal.

21. Pool Play games can end in a tie. However if playoff games end in a tie, the play will move to sudden death format

26. In the event of a forfeit during pool play of any division, the team who did not forfeit will receive a win and, for tie breaker purposes, will be as-

22. All games are running-time and substitutions can be made during play (“on-the-fly”) or while a puck is being retrieved. There is no stoppage of play after a goal is scored, or after a penalty is awarded. It is up to each team to ensure that there are only four players on the ice. 23. Players can only play on one team. 24. Substitutions must be made

signed a goals for and goals against total for that game equal to the averages of their other pool play games. These will be assigned at the conclusion of the pool play round when advancement is being determined. 27. It is the responsibility of the team captain to ensure the correct game score has been logged on the scorecard. By signing the scorecard at the conclusion of the game, your team captain is acknowledging that they agree with the final score. Teams cannot contest scores/results after they have signed the scorecard.

2022 NE POND HOCKEY CLASSIC

The Legend of Lake WinnipeHockey’s Cup gan to impede on the natives land the trophy was hidden. During a battle in what is now the town of Meredith, the settlers attempted to steal this trophy for themselves. Risking his own life, a young warrior tracked down the settlers took back the trophy and buried it somewhere on Bear Island. On his way back across to mainland, this young man lost his life when he fell through the ice, taking with him the whereabouts of this coveted trophy. With the trophy lost the tournament was never played again. Countless explorations have been made to find the whereabouts of this lost relic with no success. Thought lost forever, this trophy

To many people today the thought of Lake Winnipesaukee brings to mind summer fun, baby blue skies, rich green mountains and the dark blue waters of this tranquil mountain lake. However many years ago this was not the case, Lake Winnipesaukee (or as it was known then Lake Winnipehockey) was once synonymous with pond hockey. Legend has it, many years ago in the dead of winter this area came alive. Native America tribes from all over the Northeast flocked to this great lake to stake their claim as the Pond Hockey Champions. Wars were put on hold, grudges forgotten and truces formed for one weekend out of the year. Native American

folklore is filled with stories of tribes raising, and training their children to become warriors, not in battle but on the ice. It was not uncommon for tribes to save the best warriors for this annual event because winning it not only meant bragging rights for the tribe but also brought great pride and satisfaction to their villages. As the tournament grew, the tournament Chiefs called a meeting to discuss the creation of what would become the most coveted trophy in all of sports. After hours of deliberation, the chiefs announced the decision and presented to the world for the first time - Lake Winnipehockey’s Cup. The word spread from

tribe to tribe and the following year hundreds of tribes from all over North American made their way to Lake Winnipesaukee for a chance to hoist this miraculous

trophy. As years passed and countless champions crowned, the tournament went on. Until one year, as the settlers from Europe be-

has become folklore with many wondering if it ever existed at all. During the summer of 2009 a group of dedicated archeologists set out to finally discover the resting place of the Lake Winnipehockey’s Cup. With state of the art equipment these scientists from all over the world finally located its whereabouts and unearthed the trophy in the interior of Bear Island. After some careful restoration, Lake Winnipehockey’s Cup has once again been up for claims. See the list of teams on this page who were last year’s champs... Who will hoist it after this year’s tournament? Only time will tell!

With my sprinting days long since over, there was no chance of me playing ¨Ding-Dong Ditch¨ on some moonless night like a phantom, dashing about the neighborhood and leaving a dozen eggs at each doorstep. So I began thinking of recipes that call for the use of multiple eggs and Quiche came to mind. Having been a while since I made a quiche I decided to consult with ¨Miss. Farmer¨ on such matters. (No, not my wife, the other Farmer, that famous author and culinar-

ian.) One of few trusted resources, The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (thirteenth edition published in 1990) is one of my go to sources when I question a recipe or need a trusted and time tested reference. And there, on page 347, was what I was looking for, a basic quiche recipe to use as my foundation, my jumping off point. Gathering my eggs, milk, half and half, some cheese, some veggies, and my trusty pre-made pie crust; off I went. (Someday I will learn how to mix flour, fat, and water for the perfect crust.) An hour later we were eating like kings… or cowpokes.

“So, what do you think?” I asked my son, knowing full well I opened the floodgates to comment. “Meehh!… Could have left out the asparagus.” Obviously some occupants of this household cannot fully appreciate the gastronomical gratification that this creation offers the pallet as well as the soul. Noting he was helping himself to another sizable wedge of quiche, his critique didn’t cut too deeply. Quiche is one of those dishes that sounds so heady, so complicated, but yet is so easy to make. If you can lay a pie crust into a pie plate, cut and prepare some veggies,

and mix eggs and milk together, you too are well on your way to a quiche. I have doctored the recipe referenced in this article to accommodate the ingredients on hand, I encourage you to do the same. Whether it be ¨scrambled egg pie¨ or quiche, I am certain you too will find satisfaction in your creation as you enjoy this Simple Feast. Happy Trails and Bon Appetit!

The Constitution gives us the right to peaceably assemble. “People have a right to be outdoors,” I tell Shellenberger. “We don’t have a right to force them off the street if they aren’t directly threatening anybody.” “We should defend those rights because that’s part of our freedom,” he replies, “but you don’t have a right to shoot heroin at the public park.” There need to be “consequences for people’s behaviors.” After researching his city’s problems, Shellenberger decided he could no longer identify as progressive. “Pro-

gressivism has become the abdication of personal responsibility.” I think it’s always meant that. But now parts of San Francisco have become such a sewer that even liberal politicians have changed their positions. The mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, recently declared it’s time to end the “reign of criminals who are destroying our city!” Not long ago, when protesters shouted, “Defund the police,” Breed cut San Francisco’s policing budget by $120 million. Now she says her town will be “more aggressive with law enforcement ... and less tolerant of all the bulls---t that has destroyed our city.” Progressive ideas almost always end badly.

Yours truly and Mike Pergola are warm and well fed at the bar of the Switchback Grill in the Rosebrook Lodge on the summit of Bretton Woods. You don’t have to be a skier to reach the summit at Bretton Woods, scenic gondola ride tickets are available for $25 but it doesn’t guarantee you a seat at the bar! Two seats at the bar of the Switchback Grille were open and we felt lucky to slide into them. It was no surprise that the mountaintop restaurant was busy. We had hot drinks and sandwiches. I noticed some people wearing streetboots; scenic gondola riders stop in for lunch too. All warmed up, it took us a few minutes to put back on and arrange all our warm layers.We went back out and skied more. Lots more people were now out for the afternoon too. I’ll brag, we did 18 runs on Saturday and the temperature was in the negative numbers the whole time. A few days ago we met Bria at the Bretton Woods Nordic Center. She has really picked up cross-country skiing. She wants to improve her technique to get the most out of her kick and glide. Bria asked Charlie to coach her and I decided to

We lucked out again with bright blue sky, no wind and the temperature was actually in

the teens! When we arrived Bria had already gotten her trail pass and was dressed and ready to go. We quickly put on our boots and skis and joined her. We skied away from the Nordic Center, across the bridge over the Ammonoosuc River and along the edge See PATENAUDE on 31

Johnson’s Seafood and Steak in New Durham has seen an increase in visitors over the last year. LEVEY from 1 need to cater to “the seasonal crowd,” Shoemaker said locals help them make it through the year. “[Locals] are here two, three, four times a week and become family to you,” he said. “That helps you get out of bed in the morning, knowing that you are cared about by someone you see all the time. They help pay the utility bills all year-round.” Jon Fillion, general manager of Johnson’s Seafood and Steak in New Durham and North Berwick (ME), said one

of the changes they have seen is an increase in visitors to the Lakes Region. “We are seeing that Lake Winnipesaukee and Merrymeeting Lake are becoming a yearround destination,” he said. “We are also seeing a lot of ice fishermen visiting Barry’s Bait outback and then stopping in our market for snacks and drinks from the marketplace or takeout.” Fillion also cited increased interest in craft beers. “We are excited to offer 36 rotating craft

beers regularly, many locally sourced,” he added. Aaron Morrissey, owner/operator of Morrisseys’ Porch & Pub in Wolfeboro, said they have also noticed changes in consumer interests and behaviors. “[We are seeing] less breakfast business, earlier dinners, later lunches, and less late night drinking,” he noted. Other changes at Morrisseys’ Porch & Pub have resulted from business decisions. “We have been open in the winter the last two years,” said Morrissey, who noted they formerly were only open March through Thanksgiving. “We also added a new Irish pub last March that has been

very popular.” At Johnson’s Seafood and Steak, one upcoming change will not take place until the warmer months. We are excited to offer some new fun ice cream flavors of the week this coming summer,” Fillion said. While change may be a constant, consistency is important, too, which explains the philosophy of Owen Price, who started as a dishwasher 30 years ago at George’s Diner in Meredith and purchased it in 2018. “Our success is based on our consistency throughout the years,” he said. “You can always count on a home cooked from scratch meal at George’s Diner.” Made from scratch meals is also a descrip-

We try to

put out the best possible product at a reasonable price.” This emphasis on home cooked meals means their focus is on now. “We don’t try to go too far in advance because things are constantly changing,” explained Scovill, who cited their Fish Chowder and Tomato Bisque as two of their more popular items. “We try to find out what the people are looking for and what they want.” At Hart’s Turkey Farm in Meredith, locally owned and operated since 1954, 3rd generation Owner Sim Willey said he cannot help but think of the future. “Our 4th generation is working his way up the ladder,” he laughed.

Begun as a way to attract customers on New Year’s Day, the concept was an immediate hit, which prompted staff and ownership to expand the idea to include all Sundays in January. Aside from the fun factor, Pajamuary further incentivizes customers to wear their pajamas by offering 10% off to those who participate in it. Expressing appreciation for the growth in their business during the ongoing pandemic, Shoemaker credited staff as largely responsible for the continued success of South End Pizza & Seafood. Noting “a good deal” of their staff have been with them for some time, he said they provide paid time off around July 4 and Christmas every year. “Our mission as a business is not just to gain wealth, but to create a family where staff is a big part of the reason we are successful and awesome loyal customers are the other part,” he said. “Having a good family on both sides of the counter is really important to me.” Shoemaker cited his

us both part and full time through college and now adulthood.” In looking ahead to the rest of winter, Shoemaker expressed optimism and the hope they can continue to improve their service. “We are working on

close to Gunstock,” he said. “We have people stop in mid-ride for a quick lunch or a warm meal after a long day on the trails and slopes.” For Price, the immediate future entails staying involved in–and supporting–the com-

The Winklman Aeffect

— THE WEIRS TIMES, Thursday, February 3, 2022 —

MALKIN from 6 by a staffer while taking a shower. The physical and mental torture lasted 16 months. Enter Marty G. In April 2014, he helped lead a social media army that implemented distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Boston Children’s Hospital and the nearby Wayside Youth and Family Support Network residential treatment. Marty had organized a social media army to knock the computer networks of both institutions of-

fline to protest Pelletier’s medical kidnapping. Hackers from the loose-knit collective, Anonymous, allegedly participated in the campaign. Marty was charged and convicted of cybercrimes and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. He had already spent more than a year behind bars without bail at the time of his sentencing (including about 80 days in solitary confinement and a stint in the same detention center as Mexico’s notorious drug cartel

kingpin “El Chapo”). He has no regrets about stepping up in Pelletier’s defense and continued his whistle-blowing investigative journalism after his imprisonment with Dana’s help -- until the feds tried to shut him up and shut him down after reporting on the plight of other CMU inmates. The last time Dana spoke to Marty was last September. The last time she was able to see him in person was at his sentencing three years ago -- yes, years -- this month.

Last summer, BOP officials had recommended that Marty be removed from the Terre Haute CMU. Instead, he was hauled from one American Gitmo to another. “We were devastated to find out that the placement of Marty in the CMU will continue,” Dana told me this week. “There was never any good -- or even comprehensible -- reason to place him in that ultra-restrictive unit that was created in the 9/11 era. The BOP’s decision to continue placing Marty in

the CMU shows that the pattern of harassment and retaliation that Marty faced when he began speaking publicly about conditions in BOP facilities continues.” Dana added that “less than two-tenths of 1% of federal inmates are held in the CMUs. Many of them are members of radical Islamist terror organizations. The BOP has never given a reasonable explanation for why it has chosen to hold Marty, a nonviolent person never previously convicted of a crime, in these specialized prison units. I believe the BOP is continuing to retaliate against Marty for his decision to speak publicly about conditions in BOP facilities, ranging from damp and freezing cells, nonpotable water, to misconduct by a BOP unit manager.” The Justice Department’s inspector general passed the buck on Marty’s case to the BOP Office of Internal Affairs.

SHAPIRO from 6 of their identity. That’s because the public health establishment has now successfully cultivated a large group of people who measure their moral value by just how compliant and panicked they remain over COVID-19: Fully 68% of people fully vaccinated with boosters remain very or somewhat worried about getting sick from COVID-19 in the next year, compared with just 39% of those who are unvaccinated. This is the precise opposite of what the public health authorities should have achieved -- but expressive individualism has won the day once again, conflating one’s feelings with one’s identity group.

— THE WEIRS TIMES, Thursday, February 3, 2022 — FIVE from 8 ships and the laughter, joy and support they bring to our lives. Galentine’s Day can be spent as simply or elaborately as you please. Some gals might get together to exchange gifts of candles and fuzzy socks for the occasion, while others might have a glass of wine and gossip over a charcuterie board. For some, the holiday may just be a reason to call your friends and check in on them. Single or taken, Galentine’s Day is a reminder to glorify your girl gang. 5. Self-Care. Being

alone on Valentine’s Day can feel a little lonely, but the day doesn’t have to be painful. If you’re spending it on your own, plan a day at the spa, take a group workout class or cook yourself your favorite meal. Selfcare is the perfect way to honor the strong and independent person you are. Romance in 2022 can be dinners for two with flowers and chocolate, but it can also be celebrating the mystery and magic of an ordinary day with a custom ecard, dinner with gal pals, or spending time doing things you enjoy on our own.

METZLER from 7 underscored the acute embarrassment for an oil rich country which hardly falls into the category of a Least Developed Country but nonetheless faces a severe cash flow crisis given sanctions. Iran joined a few other member states including Papua new Guinea and Venezuela who fall into the delinquent category. Why may we ask would Washington even indirectly help a country it has deemed a State Sponsor of Terror as well as an

embryonic nuclear weapons power? Quite simple really. The Biden Administration wants to restore the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which granted Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. That controversial accord, never approved by the U.S. Senate, was scrapped by the Trump Administration. Now there are delicate diplomatic negotiations to resume the six-nation ( U.S., Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany), Iran nuclear process in Vienna.

John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues. He is the author of Divided Dynamism The Diplomacy of Separated Nations; Germany, Korea, China.

Such a move could be viewed as an incentive or a political sweetener to restart the Iran nuclear talks. Does this hand of friendship to the Ayatollahs reflect some sort of political quid pro quo? Has Tehran renounced terrorism? Or Support to Hezbollah in Lebanon or to their Houthi proxies in beleaguered Yemen? Or what about brutal political repression against dissidents inside The Islamic Republic itself? Hardly. But now the Tehran regime has its UN vote back; and this is OK?

38 SMITH from 9 ferred those who came from the West Indies because they already had made some adjustments to the big change in their lives. And many, I read, were brought here from the Carolinas. I don’t remember being taught about slaveholders in New Hampshire or that Portsmouth was a port of entry for slaves brought here from Africa or further south, but I can’t say for sure that I wasn’t. I was taught about slavery and the division between North and South. But I wasn’t taught, as I recall, or don’t recall, about the abolitionist movement in New Hampshire, except, perhaps, about the existence of the Underground Railroad. History lessons should include the resistance to slavery that appears to have had wide support in New Hampshire. My education then and what I read now has given me the impression that New Hampshire was and has been mostly a state that was anti-slavery and thus was not infused

George and Martha Washington. Their run-away household slave Oney Judge was protected from capture by NH residents. with racist feelings or attitudes. I read “Little Black Sambo” with enjoyment as I did fables about white characters, and it brought no negative or degrading feelings about colored people, just as reading about Jack falling down and breaking his crown while going for a pail of water didn’t make me

feel that white people were somehow all stumbling like Jack. Nor when I read the little compact Lone Ranger books, did I feel that Indians were inferior to white people because Tonto was the masked Ranger’s side-kick. I was taught about Indians, and again, just like the Presidents or

Davy Crockett or Benjamin Franklin, the teachings were mostly positive. Somewhere along the line I learned about white settlers buying or taking land from Indians and Indians scalping people, but I’m not sure I really thought that this applied to New Hampshire. Little was said (unless I missed or forgot it) about Indian wars and Indian captives and such being kept as slaves by New Hampshire landholders, or of the white settlers who were taken captive by Native Americans and then sold as slaves to Frenchmen in Canada. Many of these

were ransomed by their relatives, but not all. White slaves? Yes, indeed. My research tells me that it was unusual for a large amount of slaves to be brought into Portsmouth on cargo ships, though that happened It was more common to find one or two slaves coming on ships carrying other cargo. In 1707 there were said to be 70 slaves in New Hampshire, a number that grew to 656 in 1775, most of these being on the seacoast. In Joseph Walker’s book about the house and farm of the first minister in Concord, NH, he said that in 1730 there were 10,000 white people and 200 black people in New Hampshire. Walker wrote: “In the first minister’s day, slavery was well nigh universal among the nations, and its injustice was little thought of. But, from the traditions that have come down to us, it is a matter of some doubt, whether here in New Hampshire, the master ruled his slaves, or his slaves the master. It is quite certain that their service was easy and their lives contented.” In writing about the history of the Granite State (1813), Jeremy Belknap said: “Slavery is not prohibited by any express law. ” He then states that black

people “...were never very numerous in New Hampshire. Some of them purchased their freedom, during the late war, by serving three years in the army. Others have been made free by the justice and humanity of their masters.’ Massachusetts was clear in its declaration of rights that all men were free. New Hampshire’s constitution declared that “All men are born equally free and independent,” but some citizens interpreted that to mean that all men who were born after the constitution was adopted are free, but those who were slaves before that happened were still slaves. Belknap’s opinion was that “...the condition of most of those who are called slaves, is preferable to that of many who are free in the neighboring state. They are better provided with necessities; their labour is not more severe than that of the white people in general; and they are equally under the protection of the law.” I am ignorant about what is and has been taught in our schools, since I was there, at all levels, about slavery and racism in New Hampshire. I would like to know what is being taught now about then. It is important that the truth be told in context of the customs and thoughts of the times, but not distorted to satisfy political aims or to justify wrong-doing. My early reading experience did not subject me to issues my young mind was not ready to tackle. Our schools should not let one area of history so dominant the teaching and learning that other significant topics are ignored, leaving the student ignorant of many.
