The Experiences Of This WWII Veteran Should Never Be Forgotten important that their stories live on as a reminder to future generations of the unselfish sacrifice made by these young men and women in keeping us free. Here is Bill’s story written by Lorrie Baird. Bill’s memories of his days in the operating
room of the hospital ship USS Relief and later the docking ship Tortuga, remain vivid. Bill has seen much suffering, but that’s not the reason he is reluctant to talk about his war experiences. “I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging. I never was one to draw attention to my-
self. Here I was this little squirt from Missouri serving with the best doctors on a hospital ship. I never dreamed it growing up; all I was going to do was just grow crops.” But fate took a turn for Bill Carter that placed him in the middle of the See carter on 30

Bill Carter’s story first appeared in the Weirs Times in 1999 when he was a young man of eighty. Today, at ninety-seven, Bill’s story is even more important as the number of men and women who served in World War II and are still around today are becoming fewer. It is

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
A New Friend
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
You never know what the day will bring. A corny enough saying, but so very true. Working at the Weirs Times presents me with great opportunities. One, of course, is having the freedom to express myself on this page each week. I can pretty much go wherever I want. Another part of my job is to get out on the road o n o c c asion and find people, places and things in New Hampshire that would make for a good feature story. I have taken a ride on the Gundalow Piscataqua along the river of the same name, I have experienced a zipline adventure in the White Mountains, had a complete spa day and even spent an afternoon with the infamous Wolfman at Clerk’s Trading Post in Lincoln, to name a very few. Even the stories which would seem rather mundane on the surface proved to be much more interesting than you might imagine once I met the people behind them. Along the way I have also gathered knowledge that I never expected. Last week, working on the paper you are holding in your hand today, my lone assignment for the week was to drive a couple of miles from the office and take a picture of Bill Carter for the front page. The story had already been written years ago
by Lorrie Baird and we thought Bill’s story should be repeated. His adventures and sacrifice in World War II are the kind of stories that need to be retold so that new generations can fully understand the sacrifice these young people in the 1949s made to save the world. The story was first written when Bill was eighty. It seemed important to have a picture of Bill today at ninety-seven years old. It was all arranged and it seemed like it would only take a few minutes. Little did I know I was about to make a new friend. Bill’s overwhelming energy took me by complete surprise. I guess I had this stereotypical idea of what ninety-seven should be. Even though Bill does not see that well, his eyes lit up when he met me. We sat down at his kitchen table, along with his caretaker Ruth Hanson of Future In Sight: “She’s the most important person in my life right now,” Bill said. I went over what I wanted to do for the photo. I had cut out a couple of photographs of the two ships, the USS Relief and the USS Tortuga, that Bill had served on during the war, secured them to carboard and gave them to Bill to hold. He was overwhelmed at seeing them and I told him he could keep them. It ended up being a wellreceived gift that I had not even anticipated. It didn’t take much coaxing for me to get Bill to give the smile he has in the photo. After we were done Bill stood up, without his walker, took my hand and proceeded to give me a tour of his home and all of the wonderful pieces of
woodwork he had created over the years. Posts and beams, furniture, wagon wheels and especially the dozens of unique canes he had created, all with their own story and inspiration. Bill surprised me in how fast he moved and I had to take a couple of extra steps to keep up. “I have hundreds more of these in the basement” said Bill about the canes. “You’ll have to come back sometime to see them all.” We sat back down and talked for a bit longer. Bill wanting to make sure that I didn’t mention any names of his many friends because I might miss one or two and he wouldn’t want someone to be upset at not being mentioned. We also talked about the importance of telling his story again so that younger generations could fully grasp and understand what his unselfish service meant to our country’s freedom. While we talked, it hit me. Bill was the same age my father would be if he were alive. He also served in World War II and received Bronze Star for things we never knew. I never talked to him about it. He died when he was sixty. At the end of our meeting, Bill insisted that I come back to see more of his canes, or just to talk. I said I would and he made me promise to do so. As I pulled out of his driveway I glanced back at the house one last time before entering the roadway. There was Bill at the front door waving to me as I left. A new and unexpected friend. You never know what the day will bring.

Dear President Trump: Rogue Judges and selfinterested plaintiffs have blocked your efforts to protect American lives and our benevolent society. Those Judges and plaintiffs are allowing people, who cannot be reliably vetted to exclude terrorists, to come from terrorist havens and live in our country. These Judges and plaintiffs expect that inadequately vetted immigrants and refugees won’t settle in or near their wealthy neighborhoods. They are confident they aren’t risking the lives of their families and friends, but they willingly risk the lives of the Americans who live in the neighborhoods where the inadequately vetted people will settle. Americans have a right to believe that all foreigners who come to live in our country are peaceful, will assimilate, and want to positively contribute to our society. But the European experience shows that un-vetted immigration and refugee resettlement result in riots, crimes, ingratitude, lack of assimilation, and demands on native people to conform to the cultures of the immigrants/refugees. It’s clear that not all people are people of good will and many won’t assimilate with Western culture. We don’t want Europe’s experience repeated here. A thorough vetting process is needed and, by enabling trust, benefits both American citizens and the
Our Story
assimilation of our new residents. As long as self-interested plaintiffs and rogue judges prevent you from adequately vetting people coming to our country, please make sure that these people settle in the neighborhoods of the self-interested plaintiffs and rogue Judges. Hopefully there won’t be any, but if terrorists or miscreants hide among these inadequately vetted immigrants and refugees, let their riots, rapes, killings, and other crimes occur in the neighborhoods of the plaintiffs and rogue Judges who care so little about the lives of other Americans.� Readers, your lives and the lives of your families and friends have been put at risk by self-interested plaintiffs and rogue Judges. Perhaps they will reconsider their actions if it’s the lives of their family members and friends that are put at risk. Don Ewing Meredith, NH
No Plaque For Roger Grey To The Editor: Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. (Quotation from William Penn) On Wednesday March 15. I attended Sanbornton’s Town Meeting and was embarrassed for the Board of Selectmen and Budget Committee. Prior to the business meeting the Selectpersons gave a selectman, who resigned from his commitment after

The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times.

2 ½ years of a 3 year term, a plaque and 2-3 minutes of praise after which a bouquet of flowers were given to the lady who filled in the balance of his term with more praises. However, that is where the accolades ended. Roger Grey served the taxpayers of Sanbornton for 5 years on the Budget committee and unfortunately lost his bid for reelection on March 14. Roger didn’t see eye to eye with the progressive members of the Budget Committee. However, he did see eye to eye with the average taxpayer. You know who they are, the folks that got fed up with the uncontrollable changes and stopped “going to meeting.â€? Yet, Roger continued to put in endless hours looking beneath the surface of what’s going on in our local government and did his best to alert and mobilize Sanbornton Taxpayers, in regards to the use of their tax dollars. So, Roger didn’t fit in with the establishment. His voting record speaks for itself. Every vote was an effort to draw attention to the political and taxation trajectory of Sanbornton. Roger always looked to the future and didn’t like what he saw. Sorry Roger, “no plaque for you.â€?

place on June 15, 1935 on Belknap Street with the then mayor of the city, Walter E. Dunlap as the contractor. Financing for the first and the following nine model homes was provided by the Laconia Building and Loan Association, and the Secretary-Treasurer of the Association, E. Harrison Merrill said of the project after the sale of the third home: “This is a remarkable contribution to community progress on the part of our daily newspaper since in every instance erection of other homes has been stimulated by the fact that the Citizen goes ahead and does it.” The Laconia Building and Loan Association had been one of the first New England associations to apply for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank. The first home was sold to a United States Forest Service employee, Attorney Wayne Mong. The second model home was built on Walker Street by contractor Ozias Roux and was sold to Attorney Arthur Nighswander, and

It is not unusual for a local newspaper company to report the news concerning a building project in the community it serves, but it is exceptional for the media to be doing the building project unless it involves its own facilities. Nevertheless, during the depression years of the 1930’s The Laconia Evening Citizen conducted its own home building program in an apparently successful effort to help stimulate the local economy. Begun in 1935 under the leadership of the newspaper’s owner, Edward J. Gallagher, a plan was established to build ten “Model Homes” over a period of time in different areas of the city which would provide jobs for local laborers, a home for a local family, and encourage others to build nearby. The national unemployment rate in 1935 was 20.1 percent and the New Deal under President Roosevelt was begun along with the Work Progress Act to provide jobs for millions of Americans. Those who were working in the United States in 1935 had an average income of $1,600.00 a year. A new house on average cost $3,450.00 and those who rented payed an average of $22 a month.

Chesimard -- aka Assata Shakur -- on first-degree murder, assault and other charges in the 1973 traffic stop execution of state trooper Werner Foerster and wounding of trooper James Harper. She received a life (plus 30 years) sentence. But instead of serving behind bars, Shakur has led the pampered life of a “political fugitive” in socialist Cuba after her radical Black Liberation Army buddies busted her out of prison. The late Fidel Castro’s regime provided the fugitive murderer and social justice vigilante an apartment, stipends, books and funding for graduate school. As she ages in comfort, the BLA’s self-styled mother hen is now a campus icon among the Black Lives Matter generation. She’s a T-shirt, a poster, an internet meme. Just last week at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, minority students convened an “Assata Shakur Reading Group” -- which the school newspaper described as a “biweekly book club for people
of color that focuses on radical, black activism.” Activism? Try bloodstained domestic terrorism. At the time of Foerster’s murder, the BLA had been tied to the murders of more than 10 police officers across the country. Before the turnpike shootout, the BLA had ambushed two pairs of NYPD officers in a 48-hour spree, killing two of them; murdered another cop in Atlanta; and executed another pair of NYPD officers in 1972. Chesimard, her brother-in-law Zayd Shakur (who died in the gunfight with Foerster and Harper) and another BLA member were wanted for questioning in the murder of two of those cops when they were stopped. BLA’s “sole goal,” domestic terrorism expert and author Bryan Burrough noted in an interview for my new CRTV.com investigative program on Shakur, “was assassinating policemen.” When BLA thugs ambushed rookie NYPD officers Rocco Laurie (who was white) and Greg Foster (who was black) while they walked the beat in the East Village in 1972, they didn’t just shoot them. They stood “over them and just continue(d) to shoot into their bodies, into their heads” after they lay dead in the snow, Burrough recounted. Retired FBI agent and Morris County, New Jersey, Sheriff James Gannon further schooled the ignorant: “This is not a soccer mom, this is a woman who was involved in very high-end, very violent crimes.” Joseph Connor, whose father, Frank, was murdered by the BLA-aligned Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN in 1975, added that these violent left-wing extremists were far from freedom-
How The GOP Crackup Happens
Less than two weeks after the unveiling of the GOP Obamacare replacement, the party is already staring into by Rich Lowry the abyss. The Contributing Writer bill has had the worst rollout of any major piece of legislation in memory, and failure is very much an option. If the proposal falters, it will be a political debacle that could poison President Donald Trump’s relationship with Congress for the duration. That relationship is awkward and tenuous, a product of how the Republican sweep of 2016 was won on separate tracks. Trump tore up many Republican orthodoxies and found a different way to unlock the electoral map. Congressional Republicans more or less stuck with the usual script. As a result, there is no signifiSee malkin on 35 cant Trumpist wing in Congress.
And there was no off-the-shelf Trump legislation that Congress could begin on immediately. In the campaign, Trump identified a constituency and a message, but the agenda often was symbolic (Mexico will pay for the wall) or nebulous (negotiating better trade deals). The natural reflex, then, was to defer to the Republican leadership in Congress, whose priorities are Obamacare repeal and tax reform. It is true that Trump promised to deliver on both, but neither was part of his core message or won over marginal Trump voters. For now, it is in the interest of both Congress and Trump to make their shotgun marriage work. If the health bill falters in the House, though, it will be the most fraught moment of GOP tension since the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape. Except the question won’t be whether congressmen and senators dump Trump, but whether Trump dumps them. Even more than most politicians,

Human Trafficking & Slavery Byproduct of Global Conflicts UNITED NATIONS -Modern
slavery is tragically thriving in the Twentyfirst Century! While ethnic, religious and military by John J. Metzler conflicts seem Syndicated Columnist to be the grist of news headlines, the quiet and brutal backstory from this global violence regards the vulnerable millions who have been displaced as migrants and refugees. Ironically in the midst of such desperation there’s a “business model” used by human traffickers who are profiting from slavery, an ancient scourge, which reap profits of over $150 billion annually. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that “trafficking networks have gone global” with over 21 million people ensnared in forced labor, and extreme exploitation. Families and societies were being torn apart by what he called “gross violations of human rights.” Addressing a special debate in the UN Security Council, Secretary-General Guterres conceded “flourishing where the rule of law was weak and in situations of armed conflict, trafficking was thriving in Syria, where Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant
(ISIL/Da’esh) had organized slave markets.” He added that in Nigeria the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram “had considered slavery legal in areas under its sway.” Yury Fedotov of the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime added, “terrorists used human trafficking to exploit instability and vulnerability…armed groups preyed on children” in what was described as a “low risk, high-reward business opportunity.” Kevin Hyland, Britain’s AntiSlavery Commissioner, noted that terrorist organizations openly advocated “slavery as a tactic of war” and that Da’esh was targeting minority groups and establishing slave markets. “Conflict also created environments in which modern slavery could flourish,” Hyland added. Without question such tactics remain a dark corollary of conflict in many countries. What we are not so politely speaking about here is the forced abduction of girls and women for prostitution and sexual slavery as well as other people for servile labor on farms or ships. American Ambassador Nikki Haley stressed, “Standing up to modern slavery and forced labor was an element of United States foreign policy.” She added that the Trump administration “would work to end human
trafficking and devote more resources to that end.” And indeed we must as slavery is becoming wider and more sophisticated, especially given the conflict rich environment
throughout the world. Hungarian Ambassador Katlin Annamaria Bogyay stressed, “it was particularly disturbing that Da’esh, Boko Haram, Al Nusrah See Metzler on 34
Kindest Cuts “Devastating!” shouts Chuck Schumer. Even Republicans are unhappy. Big spending “conservative” congressman Hal Rogers by John Stossell Syndicated Columnist calls President Donald Trump’s proposed budget cuts “draconian, careless and counterproductive.” But Trump’s cuts are good! Why do politicians always assume that government spending helps people? It always has unintended consequences. Foreign aid is attached to idealistic notions like ending global poverty and making friends abroad. Politicians also thought that by rewarding countries that behave well, America could steer the whole world toward responsible practices like holding elections and allowing companies (especially U.S. companies) to operate without interference. The young nation of Israel could be propped up with money for its military defense and infrastructure projects. But today, the U.S. sends money to friends and foes alike, and it’s hard to know what those countries do with it. Israel gets billions of dollars — but we give even more money to Israel’s enemies. Money we give to impoverished nations seldom reaches the poor people we want to help. The funds routinely go to the kleptocrat governments that made those countries such horrible places to live in the first place. Our gifts prop up authoritarians, making it easier for them to avoid free market reforms.
We’re just as dumb about spending at home The Department of Education doesn’t teach any kids. It imposes standards on local schools that make it harder for them to experiment. It hires bureaucrats who do endless studies — instead of letting competition show us what teaching methods get the best results. The Department of Education also promotes government-subsidized student loans that trick students into thinking that no matter which school they pick, no matter their major, they will graduate with useful, marketable skills. Many go deeply into debt just when they should be getting a start in life. The Department of Agriculture tips American elections. Presidential candidates promise farm subsidies to try to win the early Iowa primary. Politicians say the subsidies will rescue struggling small farms, but they rarely do. Most of the money goes to big, well-connected agribusiness. They shouldn’t get subsidies any more than other businesses should. The so-called war on poverty has now cost almost $22 trillion, about three times what we’ve spent on all America’s wars. Yet poverty endures, even as markets and technology should have eliminated most of it. Before the war on poverty began, Americans were steadily lifting themselves out of poverty. The well-intended handouts increased dependence and stopped that natural progress. They perpetuated poverty. Obviously, some federal programs do help people. When you spend trillions of dollars, some of it will be put to good use. See stossell on 35

Healthy Tip From Dr. Fink It’s Spring!!
by Dr. Charles Fink
Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center
It’s Spring! Some of the birds have returned, buds have appeared on some of the trees and mud season has begun. The local stores already have the swim suits and summer clothes on display. This brings to mind that some of us, if we are going to wear last year’s suit may need to shed a few pounds and get into shape once that bulky sweater comes off. Maybe the prospect of yet another diet and exercise program seems daunting. How about trying a 3 week purification program to get you on the road to a healthier you? O r i f t hat seems like too big an undertaking maybe a 10 day plan? Your body is designed to rid itself of the toxins we are exposed to daily, such as pollutants, pesticides, and chemicals. However, it can become overburdened. Your liver, kidneys, small intestine and large intestine, once the toxic load has been lightened, can now focus on energy and weight reduction. Each of these programs is designed to help your body purify and rebuild itself from the inside out. In most cases the pounds have already started to disappear while following the
plan. Once you have finished the program and you are working toward a healthier shapelier you, you will discover a sense of well being. Some of the benefits of purification are: Improved weight, increase in energy, better digestion, less bloating, clearer thinking, clearer skin, shinier hair, better sleep. This is when you want to have a plan already in place to maintain this new you and to continue on the road to better health. Continue to invest some planning in your menus, food shopping and exercise. It’s when we stop this that we run into trouble. This has to become a lifestyle change, a new habit that you stay with. Stick to healthy fats, veggies, fruits, lean (free range or organic when possible) meats, plenty of water to stay hydrated. I find the best approach is to plan your grocery list and be sure to go shopping after a meal, never go hungry! If you are preparing foods that the whole family will eat it is easier for you to stick to the plan. Always have foods prepared ahead of time in the fridge to help you make better choices. Waiting to fix something when you’re hungry can cause you to eat too much or to grab something you shouldn’t. Set aside some time after your grocery shopping to wash and prepare fruits and veggies so a salad, stir fry or smoothie is put together fast. If you make a soup, stew, roasted veggies, salads, rice, lentils ahead of time you are more apt to be successful in making good food choices. Be creative,
search the web for ideas and recipes, variety is essential, we do not want to get bored with the same old thing. Experiment with flavors and change an old tried and true recipe into a new and interesting meal. I hope these suggestions are helpful in your quest to getting into and staying in shape. To learn more about the purification plan call Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center at 603-524-4555. We have what you need to get on the road to better health.

“I have tried many different ways to get myself back to myself. I was tired, bloated, no energy, brain fog, just didn’t feel right. Then I saw Dr. Fink’s ad in the paper, which also listed everything I felt and thought, why not, what do I have to lose! So I decided to give him a try. It has been four weeks and I’m actually feeling myself again, now compared to years of not feeling good, this is awesome! I have energy; I think more clearly, all I can say is “thank you” Dr. Fink!” -S.B.

I was posed this question the other day: “how long do you want to live?’ It seems simple, right? It did to me, at least. I’d like to live as I long as I can. It turns out, however, that the answer isn’t so simple for all. An acquaintance I asked, laughed at the question and said she had no intention of living to be too old. Why the difference in opinion? Obviously, there are a lot of factors, including current health and overall quality of life, that would influence a person’s feelings on longevity. I think, if a person feels bad physically and is unhappy or stressed emotionally, it is easier to feel like a long life span isn’t the best idea. Overall, though, I think
most people would agree that having a longer life is generally preferred to a shorter life. The key becomes: how can we make aging as positive an experience as possible? How can we have enough quality in our life so that the quantity feels worthwhile. What follows are my commonsense tips to make your longevity feel as good as possible: 1) Start now: if you want to make healthy changes, start immediately. If you are young, don’t wait till you are old or have tons of problems. Start now and stay ahead of possible issues. If you wait till you are broken, the fix is always much harder. If you are more advanced in age, you should also start making improvements as soon as possible. I meet folks, who aren’t even old, who often say things like: I’m too old, there’s no point in trying. That is so, so, so off base! Think of it this way: if you are 60, you may live to be 90. That’s half your life over again. So start now. Making better choices for your health, is always a good idea. If you have changes you want to make, there is no time like the present. 2) Get moving: of course, exercise is important. We all know this. More than exercise, we also need to think about overall mobility. The ability to use our joints and to move is a key factor to our long term life enjoyment. Find a yoga class or start a home stretching program. If you lose flexibility and the ability to be mobile, then the bottom line is that you will lose the ability to take care of yourself. People most commonly lose their independence later in life due to a simple reason: they can no longer get up off the ground, if they were to fall.

3) Have a purpose: if you sit around and watch TV all day, it’s easy to feel bored and depressed. Now “purpose” can mean very
different things to different people. It could be faith for some, it could be a hobby or passion for another. Whatever it is, find it and do it. If you have something to live for, you often will. Find what makes you happy and don’t let go of it. 4) Cultivate relationships: people of all ages struggle with loneliness. Friendships and family bonds have all kinds of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Seek out people with whom you can connect. Get involved. We all need people. As we age and retire, it can be easy to become isolated. You have to choose to not let this happen, and make the effort to get out and connect with others. 5) Enough resources: for many a key factor is having enough resources to live comfortably as we age into retirement. It is never too soon or too late to try and save some money up. Even if it is only a small amount, every bit helps. 6) Enjoy the benefits of getting older. First, you gain experience and wisdom. Second, older folks are happier than younger people. There is research showing that in general, more people are happy as their age advances. The needs of a quality life are really the same, through all stages of life: physical health, purpose, relationships. If you find yourself rich in these areas, then life is much easier (not perfect, but better). If you don’t have these things, start looking for them regardless of your age. Improving your mobility is free, making relationships just costs a little time and effort. These steps are attainable for you. The main thing is to do the small things like these, so that you can give yourself the best chance possible to live the life you want, for however many years you are blessed.

24 Peabody Place Franklin, NH (603) 934-3718 • www.PeabodyHome.org (StatePoint) When constantly struggling to juggle the unending daily responsibilities of both work and family life, trying to squeeze in time to exercise can be a daunting task. Throughout the day, you may be faced with the difficult choice: to move or not to move. Luckily, there are many simple changes you can incorporate into your daily routine to squeeze in that extra bit of movement, such as parking a bit farther away from your destination or opting to take the stairs versus riding the elevator. Additionally, experts recommend isometrics, a form of exercise that involves tensing muscles without moving them, which has been shown to be an effective way to increase strength and boost metabolism, as well as maintain a healthy weight and improve overall health -- all in ways that fit a busy schedule. In fact, with just 15 minutes per day, isometric exercises have proven to increase strength by 30 percent over six weeks, according to studies.
Among its many health benefits, isometrics can also improve stamina, combat osteoporosis, reduce pain and even lower blood pressure. While it’s often today’s technology that keeps people strapped to their chairs and chained to their couches, certain new technological advancements encourage just the opposite, serving as exceptional healthy lifestyle resources. One such program harnessing the benefits of isometrics is Activ5 from Activbody. This new and innovative portable, handheld fitness device works with a downloadable companion app to coach users through fun and simple five-minute, low-impact isometric workouts that can be performed discreetly at work, in the comfort of home or when traveling. Featuring over 100 unique workouts personalized for users’ individual fitness levels, it includes a suite of games to make fitness more fun -- as though you have an enthusiastic, animated personal trainer right in your pocket.

“No Courage Gop”, Contentious Conservatives, 10 Years: Chicken Clucking Sound, Please. Last Saturday I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Belknap C o u n ty Sheriff Mike by Niel Young M o y e r Advocates Columnist and Sgt/ Detective William Wright regarding “Cold Cases” that many NH residents r e m e m ber from years past. Advocates@wezs. com click on Saturday Hour 3 for the podcast of this event! This is an opportunity to learn, or, to refresh your memory for other cold cases. d a i l y j o u r n a l . net/2017/03/13/nhexchange-cold-caserevived/ I remain a supporter of President Trump. Please, sir, do not try to pin the defeat of rebuilding O-Care on “just” the Democrats. Every House member who is a Democrat voted against America when they did nothing for a stronger and better “Affordable Healthcare Plan” for all Americans who qualify. Do they expect us to believe those were not Republicans who withheld their votes – did KILL the GOP proposal? Well, they did!! They are just being “the stupid party”. How many republicans did not give their vote to the cause, and WHO are they? mcclatchydc.com/ news/politics-government/congress: Moder-
ate Republican Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado said it was clear Ryan didn’t want to force members to take a vote on the measure, despite Trump’s call for them to do so. “What the speaker said very clearly is, ‘Look, it’s a controversial bill in a lot of districts, so why put people on the record for something that’s not going to happen? What’s the point?’” The Moderate speaks. Is that courage? Is Coffman a graduate of the Mitch McConnell School of ‘keep your mouth shut, do nothing, ride it out with no record’? And this guy asks, what’s the point? Now that is not the way to consider (LOL) options and meaningful legislation? More McClatchy: Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., who voted for the bill in committee but refused to say how he would vote on the floor. “No one (Ryan) could do a better job of leading House Republicans. We believe in him, this doesn’t change anything.” Well, since the bill was pulled we have no record of how they would have voted. Courage? NOT! But then, what did we expect? Within the group of Americans/conservatives I am usually in agreement with, there are some harsh words contained in the emails being exchanged. I am sorry to say that I did comment critical of the
first inciting email. Not for what I said, but for that being the launchpad a bunch of non-productive conversation. ******* KATIE PAVLICH (Townhall.com): Montgomery County School Superintendent Dr. Jack Smith, under fire for his delayed response to the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl at Rockville High School last week, rakes in a taxpayer funded salary of $275,000, months of paid time off and a whole goody bag full of other pricey benefits. According to Smith’s contract, he receives the following: -$275,000 salary per year, with a review each year for an increase and pay cannot be reduced -$40,000 per year paid by the board for his retirement fund -25 days of annual paid leave which can be rolled over and cashed out -20 days of sick and/or personal leave per year, which can also be cashed out -Disability insurance up to $8000 paid by the board -All school holidays off -A vehicle for personal and professional use with all “expenses for gasoline, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, in connection with the use of said vehicle” paid for by the school board.

PET OF THE WEEK
“Bailey”
Age: 5 • Sex: Female • Breed: Boxer Mix
Our new Pet of the Week is Bailey. Bailey is a 5 year old Boxer mix who is a puppy at heart! She loves playtime and being around people. In addition to her cheerful personality her ears are adorably silly and may have already caught your attention! Bailey would do best in a home that could provide mental stimulation and exercise since she has a tendency to drink a lot of water to cope with some of the boredom she experiences in the kennel. Don’t let this deter you from considering Baily as your new pet because she is a real sweetheart and would make a loyal companion! She would do best in a home with kids 6+ and she gets along with most dogs but she would need to meet any potential canine siblings. To learn more about Bailey see her Petfinder Profile at https://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/37592779?rvp=1

An Unexpected March Madness by Tim Moore Contributing Writer
L AKE W INNIPESAUKEE
I CE F ISHING 603-842-3572
GUIDE SERVICE
T IM M OORE O UTDOORS . COM
By mid-February of this winter, I was wondering if I was going to make it guiding ice fishing trips until mid-March. After a cold start to winter, things took a turn and went downhill almost immediately after the Great Rotary Ice Fishing Derby. Around March 1st I notified all my clients who were scheduled for the weekend of the 11th and 12th that we may have to cancel their trips. Then, as fast as it got warm it got cold again, and we began making ice as if winter had reset itself. It looked as though I might actually make it until the season ended at the end of March. To solidify that was a March blizzard brought over a foot of snow to the lakes region. There is currently more ice than there was the first weekend in March, which makes me happy because late March offers some of the best white perch fishing all year. I have a regular client named Al who books trips every year, specifically to target white perch. Last year he really had his heart set on some late-ice madness, but Mother Nature had other plans. When Al saw that we were still fishing in the middle of the month he jumped on the first date he could get. I took Al out in Moultonborough Bay, to an area that I had been fishing daily for weeks. The bite was good, and getting better every day. We went to a spot that had been producing very good numbers
of jumbo white perch, but the first couple of hours were unusually slow. He was beginning to make smart aleck comments about being the first person to use our guaranteed fish or your second trip is free policy. We’re friends now, so I just smiled and told him I couldn’t set the bar very high first thing in the morning. I told him that if he knew what was about to happen, he’d understand why I wanted to ease him into it. I was half kidding, but hoped I was right. We moved to another area where I set up my portable Clam shelter and popped a couple of holes. We were there just long enough for me to start planning my next move when the screen on Al’s Vexilar flasher lit up like a Christmas tree. “I hope you’re ready for this,” I said. The school of white perch was 15’ deep on the screen of the Vexilars. Al insisted that I fish with him. From 9:30am until I brought him back to the launch at 3pm, we had school after school of huge white perch move through. I encourage catch
and release, but over the past two season the ice conditions had prevented poor Al from going home with very many fish, so he took a limit home for his freezer. These are the days we missed last year when my ice fishing season ended on March 7th, but it’s one Al won’t soon forget. The fish are bigger, the schools are bigger, and the action is sometimes non-stop this time of year. The excitement of just one huge school of giant Lake Winnipesaukee white perch is enough to keep many anglers chasing them every chance they get.

(SEMI) PRO BASKETBALL IN N.H. With college basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;March Madness-2017â&#x20AC;? reaching its climax, many basketball fans canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but cast their minds back to great games and players of the past. Through the wonders of You-Tube many of these magic moments can be relived with a couple clicks on a computer mouse. Nostalgia has its place. However, some basketball stories are just not available via You-Tube. But they can still be savored via the â&#x20AC;&#x153;oral historyâ&#x20AC;? recollections of hoop historians regarding the wonderful players and performances of yesteryear. Such a historian is Concordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bob Gile. Presently a Vice President for Investments at Benjamin F. Edwards and Company, Gile graduated from Franklin High School in 1951. He later graduated from Dartmouth College and then served as a naval officer before entering the world of finance. Some of Gileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vivid memories from his Franklin days involve some of the best basketball in the country taking place right in the Franklin High School gym. Franklin, N.H. Not North Carolina, not Kentucky, not Indiana, and not Madison Square Garden. Franklin â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the late 1940s a sort of semi-pro basketball circuit evolved in New England,â&#x20AC;? recalled Gile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunday afternoon basketball became an entertainment staple in Franklin.â&#x20AC;?

Did the great Bob Cousy play basketball in Franklin Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gym? In those post-World War II days, with television in its infancy, locals packed the Franklin gym to watch the Franklin Comets take on all challengers. John Barry was the coach/ general manager, and at first the Comets featured local standouts like Frank Mead, Pete Shanelaris and the Robitaillle brothers. But as other teams in the region ramped things up, eventually the Comet roster featured non-locals, like former Bowdoin star Norm Cook, or 6-foot-6 Jack Darton, who hailed from New York. New Hamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Everett Nordstrom also became part of the mix as the quality of play skyrocketed. Soon the Comets were taking on Massachusetts powerhouses like the Polish Falcons out of Salem, or crack outfits from Braintree or Worcester. The latter was sponsored by Tadcaster Brewery which offered â&#x20AC;&#x153;inducementsâ&#x20AC;? to Boston area college stars to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sign onâ&#x20AC;? so the team could maintain its edge. After all, Tadcaster couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have
its Worcester squad losing to a bunch of hicks from Franklin, N.H. In other words, the basketball took on a professional qualityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or at least â&#x20AC;&#x153;semi-pro.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I distinctly remember the Franklin gym being packed for a game with Worcester,â&#x20AC;? said Gile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Standing room only. And I swear Bob Cousy played for Worcester under an assumed name.â&#x20AC;? Cousy was then starring for Holy Cross, the Worcester college which won the 1947 NCAA title. The future NBA MVP delighted the Franklin fans with his wizardry, as Granite Staters witnessed basketball action that was as good as any in the country. Traveling powerhouses like the Philadelphia Colored Giants sometimes came to town to play the Comets before those packed houses. Basketball fever in Franklin during the forties was so frenzied that a second teamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Franklin Zephyrsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was formed to play prelimiSee moffett on 33

little worried, some might say pensive she’s been overlooked at New Hampshire Humane Society in favour of the fluffier, cuter, smaller, prettier dogs since January! Life is indeed a bit of a beauty contest for shelter dogs and especially for those that have that ability to look piercingly into the souls of humans… Are WE good enough for her, is what we should be asking ourselves. She travelled a long way in the hopes of finding her forever home, here in New Hampshire. Our winter weather doesn’t seem to both her, dressed fetchingly in a nice warm coat she is ready for walks and play in the snow. We’ve found her to be super smart and ready to learn. Francine has demonstrated a penchant for agility and learning while waiting for her second chance and a family to call her own. A sturdy, muscular girl in the prime of health, truly a more loyal companion you will not find. Best home, one where she is the only pet in the household – active teenagers a plus. Come and visit Francine, we are quite sure you will be impressed with her stately demeanor.

When you think you are finally done with winter, yet another snow storm hits and reminds you that New England is that place where it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over until the stout lady sings. So with that in mind, we look at another stout offering from our friends up at Baxter Brewing Company in Lewiston, Maine. Baxter Brewing is located in the Bates Mill building which is part of the up and coming Lewiston / Auburn area of Maine. Luke Livingston homebrewed during his stint at Clark University. In preparing for his future, he presented a business plan in 2009 which was expected to begin his brewing career. Along with fellow brewer Ben Low, the two set off to change Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brewing industry with their award winning beers. Their assortment of beers shines a light on why craft beer is so popularâ&#x20AC;Ś because taste matters! Wicked Dark uses 12 malts including barley, wheat, rye, and oats. It is almost black with a rich mocha head. In the appropriate tulip glass used to get the most from the nose of a beer, you can pick up toffee and chocolate notes before your first sip. Malty roasted grains and dark fruit follow. The first encounter lets you know the balance of this stout took some time. Aged for over three months, this brew uses American and New Zealand hops includ-

BeerAdvocate.com hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t officially rated because it is so new, but I think they will have to rate it soon since it is so good. Baxter is a respected brewery and this Wicked offering is a testament to its ability and dedication to its follow-
ers. Some followers on BA have chimed in giving high kudos of 4.25+ to this amazing stout. You will find it at Casen-Keg in Meredith and Laconia as well as other fine beer providers. Look for any of the Baxter beers as they are all worth sampling!

minum and rubber flashings around plumbing vent pipes. The black rubber boot tends to crack over time where it touches the vent pipe, allowing water to leak into your home. The best plumbing vent flashings I’ve seen are the ones that have a special siliconized-rubber compound that stands up against the harsh UV light from the sun. If your home has gutters and downspouts, be sure they’re clean. Spring is the worst time of year for gutters, as the flowers from deciduous trees and the winter buildup of bark, twigs and other debris can choke gutters with an organic smorgasbord. After the gutters are clean, do a water test with a garden hose. Test to see if there are any leaks in the system. There are special caulks meant to seal the seams in aluminum gutters; they’re available online. Be sure the water from downspouts is piped to the lowest part of your yard or, in urban areas, connected to approved storm drains. Water dumping out on the ground next to your foundation on splash blocks is a very bad thing, as the water simply enters the soil next to your home. If you have a basement or crawlspace, this water will almost always cause nightmares. Don’t just go around caulking cracks around windows and doors willy-nilly. Your home may have vinyl siding and the j-channel around doors and windows shouldn’t be caulked. It needs to expand and contract. Decks are big problem spots. Many people ignore their decks. You need to inspect the railings closely to ensure they’re sturdy and will not fail if lots of outward pressure is applied. Get under the deck and look at all the galvanized metal connectors. Look for corrosion. If the corrosion is severe with lots of rust, you may have to replace a connector.
Look at the fasteners used to install the metal connectors. Are they corroded, or have they pulled out? Each time water enters a crack in treated wood, it has the tendency to make the crack bigger because the water gets deeper into the wood, causing it to swell. Important structural nails can pull out. Consider replacing all nails with special exterior screws meant for the newer treated lumber that contain lots of copper. I’d take a good look at the soil around your home. Be sure you have excellent, positive drainage. You want the soil to slope away from your foundation. It’s best to have at least 6 inches of foundation exposed above the soil line. Don’t add mulch to garden beds, which creates a moat around your foundation. Don’t allow water to be trapped between the foundation and the mulch. Look for damage to any concrete or blacktop pavement, sidewalks and patios. Cracks in concrete can be repaired with special epoxies that are applied with a common caulk gun you probably own. You can use this same epoxy to repair cracks in blacktop, disguising the compound with small rocks and sand you press into the fresh epoxy. If the surface of concrete has flaked off, you can make up a stucco mix with Portland cement and sand to repair it. To get a fantastic bond, be sure to paint the old concrete with cement paint before applying the stucco. Cement paint is made by mixing Portland cement with fresh water. It’s a secret trick taught to me years ago by an old mason. Need an answer? All of Tim’s past columns are archived for free at www. AsktheBuilder.com.

Mr. Gallagher was the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor in 1938, as well as being the owner of the newspaper.

It should be noted that the homes spons o r e d b y t h e Evening Citizen were done so at no profit to the newspaper. Model Home Number V was built in 1938 on North Main Street and became the residence of Dr. & Mrs. John H. Miller.

Roosevelt was elected to be President of the United States in November of that year as the country and the state suffered under the Great Depression. It appears that there were times during those depression years that the Laconia Public Library had to close because of the lack of funds. The Citizen reported in January of 1933 that Mayor Carrollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife wanted to write a check for $1,000 to keep the library open, stating that â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śshe was ashamed to live in a city that allowed its public library to be closed..â&#x20AC;?, but her husband told her that he would stop payment of the check. The Mayor felt that the city had the funds to keep the library open and concerning his disagreement with his wife said â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can say in the paper this is the first quarrel we have ever had.â&#x20AC;?

Bejeweled Beauty This spring, channel your inner artist and incorporate a sense of vibrancy into living spaces. Jeweled tones are experiencing a resurgence this year, proving there is no better way to energize a space than with a brilliant emerald green or a lively turquoise accent. If the idea of painting a room is too daunting, opt for smaller updates that bring a punch of color. Thrift stores are great places to find unique accessories or that perfect piece of furniture, such as an ottoman or tufted bench that can be re-covered with a rich magenta or sapphire blue fabric.

days of summer arrive, the topic will concern the stifling heat. Water, water everywhere, but how do I provide this necessary ingredient into my backyard without encouraging the breeding of insects? Experienced backyard birders know that a reliable water source does wonders to attract all species of songbirds. Every bird needs water to survive, but not all birds eat bird seed. If you choose not to serve bird seed in the warm months, you can still attract those wild birds you love to see each and every day. Water is the answer. If you are concerned about mosquitoes, EEE or West Nile Virus, there are many solutions available to practically eliminate these insects from multiplying. There are many different types of mosquitoes and each species has its own method for egg-laying, hatching and maturing. However, one basic fact that is constant for all species - stagnant water is required for the maturation cycle. Standing water has an invisible, tight film on the surface upon which a mosquito lays its eggs. If you take away this surface film, the eggs sink to the bottom and do not survive. The simplest method to eliminate the chance of eggs hatching on water is to empty your bird baths twice per week. This is enough time to interrupt the egg hatching cycle. Moving water creates ripples that stop insects from trying to lay eggs. Without the surface film found only on stagnant water, eggs can not float and will not survive. There are many methods to create moving water. Drippers and fountains are the most common approach to this problem. Both choices create the rippling effect on surface water and are very attrac-
tive to songbirds. In order to keep your wild birds happy and content, your best solution is to imitate a river stream bed as best you can. A simple device is available that incorporates two small paddles which constantly move the water in all bird baths. The two batteries last a couple of months, eliminating the need for running electrical cords over your lawn area. Many people enjoy this option for creating ripples, attracting songbirds and stopping the spread of mosquitoes. Here is a marvelous, homemade solution. Put a sheppards hook next to your bird bath and hang an old watering can over the water area. Angle the watering can in such a way so as to create a dripping effect into the bath. This makes an attractive solution to stagnant water and adds a visual appeal to your garden. It s a wonderful conversation piece, as well. You do not have to give up attracting your birds in the warm seasons if you choose not to serve bird seed and feeders. The solution simply requires a new thought process. You will be amazed at the results each year. Enjoy your birds. Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

Since he detested his on-campus Army experiences, Bill decided to enlist in the Navy when Uncle Sam issued him a draft card in 1942. “Because of my work in science and biology the Navy wanted me to go into the Medical Corps., so I went into training at the U.S. Naval Training Station at Great Lakes
The hospital ship USS Relief where Bill Carter served as pharmacist mate during World War II. and then selected Portsmouth.” At a Portsmouth, NH, USO function, Bill met his wife Mary Louise. Soon, Bill found himself aboard the USS Relief as a pharmacist mate where the intense “swim or die” training began. “They started me out in the operating room, a real beginner, and started training me to take charge. I worked up through until I was in charge of the whole thing between the doc-

to run the hospital. The lowest ensign in the line outranked the highest doctor on the staff, but the doctors were said to get “even” when a petty line officer came to them with a medical complaint. According to the article, the hospital staff on the ship included 12 to 15 doctors, about a dozen nurses, 24 petty officers and chiefs and 150 pharmacist’s mates and hospital apprentices. Only a third of the hospital staff could be allowed liberty at a time. Hospital ships were the only ships in the Navy that allowed women on board. The nurses served as ensigns under a chief nurse who held

I was an operating room technician and had to be the one to know where the lights were, the auxiliary power for the operating room. All things.” The Relief followed the fleet to the Pacific Islands and then the real work began. “We’d go out and take in 900 to a thousand guys, all blown up. We’d work on them, discharge them in Hawaii and then go back and do it all over again. Through most of that I was in the operating room.” A Collier’s magazine article dated Sept 24, 1942, wrote about the Relief in an article about hospital ships and their vital role during the war. The ships carried a double personnel roster; the line officers and crew to run the ship and staff officers and crew
the rank of lieutenant, junior grade. The nurses would often spend their entire 18-month service stint at sea without going ashore even once. Most battleships and aircraft carriers had three doctors on board, a large sick bay and operation facilities. But destroyers, mine sweepers, oil tankers and supply ships depended on hospital ships. As for submarines, sub-chasers and Coast Guard ships, they had excellent first-aid capabilities, but no doctors on board. So, even on low war casualty days, the hospital ships usually remained busy.

The USS Tortuga, the second ship Bill Carter served on. carter from 30
Yoshitsugu Saito, had 29,662 soldiers and 6,000 marines positioned to defend the 25-mile long Saipan. The U.S. had 15 battleships positioned to bombard the Japanese shore defenses. On June 15th, 8,000 marines of the 2nd and 4th division landed and established a 1 by 4 mile beachhead. By the end of the day, it was reported that 20,000 troops were on shore. The next day, the Army’s 27th division landed with reinforcements, beating the Japanese back to the north end of the island. Eventually Saipan was freed from Japanese occupation thanks to the campaign. But freedom always comes with a price. Traveling with the big guns did little to ensure the safety of hospital ships. Bill recalls “being surrounded by military craft wasn’t the protection that people thought it was. The closest we ever came to getting hit was off Saipan. We had to pick up the boys after Saipan and out beyond us were the big battleships the Missouri and the New Jersey. They were firing over us, bombing military installations. And the Japanese were returning the fire. Once we got jarred real
bad.” Penciled on a 1995 NH Union Leader article recalling the Saipan campaign, Bill Carter wrote this note: “We got them back on the hospital ship in pieces.” And this is where Bill has difficulty talking about his experiences. “These guys came to us in full battle regalia. Dirty, smelly corpsmen with maggots in their wounds. We’d clean them up, clean out the maggots, repair and amputate. There were days when we’d be bloody all the time. Every day we’d lose guys.

them at sea.” When asked if there was one patient he will never forget, Bill swallowed hard, his eyes misted and said we probably wouldn’t want to hear the story. “For those we buried at sea, there was at least a finality to it, but this is something else. There comes the day when this young marine comes on the ship in full battle uni-
form. Dirty, smelly, unconscious and half-dead. There’s not a hospital in the U.S. that would let him in the operating room, but here we had to forget about ‘sterile’. His head was one great big swath, all bloody. One of his buddies had torn off his shirt and wrapped it around his head. When we unwrapped it we saw that half his skull was blown away. His brain was exposed. I was trying to get him ready for the doctor to assess him. When he did he said “I don’t think we can do anything’. But we removed the fragments and cleaned him up. Worked two, maybe three hours. During the three to four days we took getting back to Hawaii, he remained unconscious. We’d take him back into the operating room and whittle away at the dead

thought of him. Whatever happened to that guy? Out of all the boys we put over the side, out of all the stomachs blown open and legs off…that is what stuck.” When Bill was transferred to the Tortuga, he recalls serving under a doctor who was trained, but green, having had much less experience than Bill when it came to operating for appendicitis. “Dr. Bascom said to the operating team ‘I’m the authority here, but you listen to what Carter tells you’. I had good training
on the hospital ship and it made us all brothers.” After the war, it may have seemed natural for Bill to pursue a medical career. “I wanted no part of it after the military. It was wonderful to make the transition, but I wasn’t going to try to do that.” FROM WASHINGTON TO THE WORLD AND BACK AGAIN Mary and Bill went on to raise a family of five daughters and a son, but the military was far from the end of his adventures.

I spent a month every year going to schools and also Lost River Conservation Camp talking to the kids. I loved it!” Bill’s work as a soil scientist brought him all the way to Washington D.C. in a position working on the World Soil Map. “I was tickled to death! I worked there for ten years. I traveled to other countries and worked
with other professionals and then went with the Army Corp of Engineers as a soil engineer.” When Bill was in his late forties, he switched career tracks and joined his brother and staff in Kansas, developing new insurance companies, with Bill acting as the director of training. “First I had to learn the business,” said Bill. “Then I got to be president of my own insurance company in Colorado. Then came the time to retire so we went back to Mary’s homestead here in Gilord. I worked as a soil engineer for Water Sup-

ply and Pollution Control for the state and in 1982 I retired.” There is no doubt that the war deeply affected Bill Carter, but not in an adverse way. Every day he feels lucky to be alive. One of Bill’s passions has been in breathing new life into vintage wooden pieces. He also has transformed knurled wooden limbs and roots into unique canes and wooden art forms. Everywhere in Bill and Mary’s cozy ranch house are decorative canes, reclaimed antiques and artifacts which Bill has given new life and purpose. Visiting Bill today at ninety-seven, his house and basement delightfully filled with canes and reclaimed furniture he has made over the years, walks from room to room stopping at each piece and proudly telling its story (and they all have stories). It is not difficult to find a connection here. The mans whose job it was to help patch up soldiers and sailors found joy later in life in bringing new life back to discarded items and coaxing out the beauty in that which was once unseen and unappreciated. It was more than just mere woodworking for Bill Carter, it was a way of celebrating life.

of the Washington swamp and decide to triangulate away from the GOP Congress rather than work with it. This would mean Trump would be a president not without a party necessarily, but without a Congress. It would make major legislative accomplishments impossible, although if Obamacare repeal-andreplace fails, that might be the reality regardless. Some skeptics of the Ryan bill hope that its defeat will allow the party to quickly move on to tax reform. But tax legislation won’t be any easier. It, too, is highly complex and will disappoint populists when it emerges that the Republican template for reform doesn’t take much account of the interests of workingclass voters. It is better for everyone that Obamacare repealand-replace succeed. Ryan should amend his bill to, among other things, get the coverage numbers up and make it a sturdier vehicle for the turbulence ahead. The alternative is a defeat that may precipitate a nasty, perhaps enduring, split in a party desperate to paper over its divisions. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

and other terrorist groups used sexual exploitation and forced marriage as a tactic.” She added poignantly “Modern Slavery is a crime of the twentyfirst century: adaptive, cynical, sophisticated, extremely complex and highly variegated.” Amb. Bogyay conceded there is “no magical solution” to the threats and no organization itself can tackle the phenomenon itself. In other words fighting this multi-headed Hydra of hate and profitable exploitation takes more than legislation but a wider awareness and willingness to coordinate strategies across borders and among governments. Archbishop Bernardito Auza of the Holy See feared for “ancient Christian communities, as well as Yezidis and other religious minorities in Mesopotamia…who had been enslaved, sold, killed, and subjected to extreme humiliation.” He decried “the lack of serious efforts to bring perpetrators to justice of such acts of genocide.” Nonetheless but as many speakers called for additional legislation and for cross-border cooperation in combating human trafficking, there’s a bigger issue which deals with effectively control-

ling national borders to thwart people smuggling through criminal networks. Porous borders especially among many of the European’s Union’s own member states have become the norm. Since 1995, the Schengen Accords allow totally free movement of people and goods through most of the European Union’s member states, (excluding the UK and Ireland), facilitating free access and unhindered commerce among countries. This has been a boom for legitimate travel, business and passport free movement. A good idea in peaceful times. But long before the current spate of conflicts, terrorism, and illegal migration, Schengen also became a windfall for organized crime which can easily move stolen goods such as cars across borders. Equally open frontiers have proved a magnet for migrants who once reaching an EU state can then gain unhindered access throughout the bloc. During 2015, more than a million migrants flooded into Germany and Sweden. Estonia’s delegate Sven Jurgenson put the matter into perspective stating the international community “must focus on prevention, protection, and prosecution” in order to combat human trafficking. “There must be no room for impunity,” he stressed. This is so true. Equally there must be a willingness to go beyond feel good political posturing, recognize the problem, and ruthlessly prosecute trans-national criminal networks. John J.

President Trump, who ushered in a new era of respect for law enforcement after eight years of President Obama coddling of the social justice mob, should get this deal done before yet another grim anniversary passes.

But that doesn’t mean the Economic Development Administration, “Essential” Air Service, Community Services block grants or even Meals on Wheels deserve a penny more of your taxes. “There is no magic money tree in Washington,” the Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards reminds us. At DownsizingGovernment. org, he lists many more programs that ought to be cut. Even when programs do good things, he says correctly, “It is more efficient for the states to fund their own activities — school and antipoverty programs — because doing so eliminates the expensive federal middleman.” Having our money back means being able to pay for things we choose as individuals — including helping out the poor more effectively than the government. Finally, even areas where Trump wants to boost spending, like the military, should be cut. We spend more on defense than the next seven nations combined — China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United Kingdom, India, France and Japan. Are we less likely to be

attacked because of it? Less hated? No. Often, our expensive “defense” puts us in harm’s way. Trump and Paul Ryan do deserve credit for demanding that spending increases be offset with cuts elsewhere. But it’s a tragedy that they didn’t use this moment to try to cut more, and to cut the biggest unsustainable spending: Medicare and Social Security. Not addressing those entitlements today will mean more suffering for the poor and the elderly in the future. Do the humane thing. Keep hacking away at that budget.
