Paint A Puppy Contest
Meredith’s Liz Euiler To Compete At 2019 Pan American Games world of rowing. Finding support and encouragement from her new found friends, she started winning small regional races and the seeds were planted for her dreams of winning the big races. Around 2003 her father (Meredith native, Paul Euiler) convinced some local friends to help him
start the Winnipesaukee Rowing Club, a 501(c)(3) formed to provide a way for local kids to learn to row and compete. He became a certified US Rowing coach and continued over the years to attend countless educational seminars, attaining the highest level of certification and
turning his teams into highly respected and winning competitors all over the Northeast and Canada. His daily, completely volunteer, dedication over the years paid off for many kids who were awarded scholarships to college through their rowing See EUILER on 39

To the Editor: In his April 18, 2019 letter John Brennick accurately surmised that, out of habit, I used the term “American” to indicate US Citizens rather than “US Citizens”. But, frankly, he’s just nitpicking. The term “American” is used and recognized to refer to US Citizens many millions of times daily, worldwide. Citizens of other countries refer to themselves based on their nationality, e.g., Canadian, Mexican, Bolivian, not, e.g., as “American”, “European”, or “Asian”. Also, the only nation mentioned in the definition of “American” in my Webster’s is the United States. Nevertheless, either interpretation of the term “American”, US Citizens or anyone native to North, South, or Central America, can be supported. Not even illegal immigration supporters argue that having the people they refer to as good, hard-working, law-abiding leave their own countries is good for those countries. Illegal immigration isn’t good for the annual 1000-2000 that die, the many tens of thousands of people who are raped, the 20,000 humans trafficked into slavery, the thousands that are abandoned in the middle of
Our Story
the desert without water, or the many thousands of families that go into debt to pay coyotes to take them to the US. If you listen to Democrats, it’s questionable if even the illegal aliens who get here safely benefit because they now live in the shadows in our racist, sexist, nationalistic, and violent country. It can’t be good for countries to lose their young, strong, and aggressive people who undertake the long, dangerous journey. It would be better for the remaining hundreds of millions if people stayed home and forced the implementation of better education, protection of private property, the rule of law, and a growing economy so everyone can prosper. The only losers would be criminals and corrupt politicians. Asylum is an interesting question. Asylum seekers have protected status at least until their asylum hearing. Few asylum seekers show up for their asylum hearings. Most asylum seekers that come across our border with Mexico don’t qualify and are denied asylum. We are, foolishly in my opinion, even tolerant of asylum seekers who don’t follow the proper asylum procedures and even those who claim asylum when caught trying to sneak into our country. In the US illegal im-

Illegal immigration hurts US Citizens, the illegal aliens’ native countries and the many millions of their citizens, and the countries that handle the spillover from problem countries.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Retirement Plan
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
As I get a little older the thought of retirement often invades my daily thinking. I’d imagine that I wouldn’t be really “retiring” as the word is often interpreted. I’d still be doing what I’m doing in one form or another. I’m sure I’d be getting up every morning to sit at this keyboard (sometimes actually typing on it). I have always enjoyed writing since I was a nerdy little kid, so I’d probably keep at it for whatever it’s worth. Sure, I might go out and shoot a round of golf on occasion to play to the retirement stereotype, but I have golfed enough in a previous younger life to know that…well…I stink. I’m not sure if at this stage in the game I’d want to dedicate a lot of time and blood pressure to getting just a little bit better at it. I would enjoy having my own schedule though. Doing what I want when I want. Having extra time does have its benefits… I would imagine. Still, there is that one tiny obstacle that stands in the way of when to retire. Money. Have we saved enough to have a nice retirement? Of course, that all depends on how long we live. I am always grateful that modern day breakthroughs in medicine
have given me extra time with my recent heart surgery, but I’m also glad that it hasn’t advanced enough yet to be able to keep me alive till I am two hundred, then retirement wouldn’t even be a consideration for at least another hundred years. I doubt I could even make fifty. I am hoping that my wife, Kim, and I will have stashed away enough by retirement age to see us through when we are in our golden years (a nice term to say “old”). But, just in case, I am thinking of using a modern-day method of raising some additional cash to see to it that our last decades are comfortable…our very own GoFundMe page. It seems that every time I turn on my computer to read an email or go on social media (which is anything but social nowadays), people are trying to get me to cough up some bucks to help them pay for something through GoFundMe. There are many noble GoFundMe fundraisers that really are purposeful. When someone starts one for a friend who is facing an unexpected hardship or a natural disaster somewhere has disrupted people’s lives, or someone is facing the overwhelming cost of dealing with a lifethreatening disease, that makes sense to me. But when someone starts a GoFundMe page because their kid needs new braces, they want to take a trip around the world, or they want to test an idea so ridiculous that they wouldn’t even consider risking their own money on it, I’m not sure that was the purpose for the thing in the first place. Still, it seems that this weird way of rais-
3
ing money for just about anything is here to stay, so why not join in? Why keep on working towards retirement when I might be able to just have a bunch of other people take care of that for me? So, I am starting a GoFundMe page to finance our retirement. I think two million dollars would be a great amount to shoot for? What do you think? I realize that I might not get anywhere close to that, but on the other hand I might be surprised. Maybe spending my days being lousy at golf on Hilton Head just might be something I’d be willing to waste my time doing, if the money wasn’t a concern. We figure that we will shoot high and even if we fall a bit short and only collect only one and a quarter million, we will still manage somehow. So, keep your eyes open for an announcement for our GoFundMe Page which should be up and running as soon as I figure out how to do it. I don’t have all the specifics yet, but if you do decide to contribute to our GoFundMe page for our retirement, you will be guaranteed a very special handmade thank you card as a .pdf delivered straight to your inbox. For those who donate over $10,000 you will receive a handwritten card at Christmas direct from Hilton Head. I hope you will see it in your heart to help us in our quest. Thank you in advance.

The French-Taylor House in Moultonborough has been one the Preservation Alliance’s Seven to Save properties. The house was spared from demolition with assistance from the town’s Heritage Commission. At town meeting this year, Moultonborough voters opted to sell the house to a local couple who pledged to rehabilitate the historic building.
Town Meetings Show Support For Historic Preservation N.H. Preservation Alliance
At town meetings across New Hampshire this year, citizens voted in favor of historic preservation, approving funds for planning studies and capital funds to research, revitalize and restore community landmarks. These results reflect a growing understanding and appreciation of historic preservation’s vital role in community and economic development. Several towns voted to invest in properties on the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s “Seven to Save” endangered list. These significant and vulnerable places include the Turning Mill Pond Dam in Canter-
bury, Parish House in Lee and St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bartlett. In Alexandria, Gilmanton and Meredith, town residents approved funding for studies into how to preserve their historic town halls and libraries. In Alton, Ashland, Barrington, Bennington, Bethlehem, Effingham, Fitzwilliam, Grafton, and Wilmot, voters established or added to capital reserve funds earmarked for the restoration of their local historic libraries, meeting houses, town halls and a town-owned country club house. The state’s newest Heritage Commission was created in Kensington, while Hampton residents voted to re-establish theirs, reversing their
2015 decision to disband it. Voters in Francestown, Loudon and Troy adopted use of RSA 79E, a tax incentive program that offers tax relief for municipalities to encourage investment in downtowns and historic buildings. While a first See SUPPORT on 30

Questions for Chase (Away) Bank I have been a Chase Bank customer for years. Who knows how much longer it’ll be? Will the company’s thought police come for me by Michelle Malkin n e x t ? H o w Syndicated Columnist about you? If you are a nonleftist who does business with the financial giant owned by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., you need to ask questions and get answers. On Tuesday, investigative journalist James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas team released a disturbing new video on the runaround that Chase officials gave Texas conservative entrepreneur Enrique Tarrio about his canceled account. Big business may very well be enabling America’s very own version of the Chinese social credit system in which political dissent is flagged, shunned, punished and eradicated. First, some background: Tarrio is a young, peaceful, AfroCuban freethinker and chairman of the Proud Boys organization. In February 2019, the Texas Trump supporter received a letter from Chase Bank informing him that “after careful consideration,” the financial institution could “no longer support” his banking account. The notice followed a hit piece against minorities who support the president by The Daily Beast, a reliable echo chamber for the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center smear machine. Tarrio was subsequently kicked off Chase’s payment processor, which he used to sell patriotic and pro-Trump T-shirts. Next, he was deplatformed from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Airbnb, FirstData,
Square, Stripe and PayPal before losing his bank accounts. When I asked on Twitter in February why we can’t have just one financial institution that doesn’t cave to social justice warriors, the official Chase Twitter account tweeted me back: “Hi Michelle, this article is inaccurate. We did not close his personal account. We do not close accounts based on political affiliation.” I pointed out that Chase’s letter clearly stated that the company had closed his account. “So if not for political reasons,” I asked, “why, ‘after careful consideration,’ did you close his account?” The social media manager of Chase’s corporate Twitter account, previously so eager to spill the tea, replied: “For privacy reasons, we can’t say more.” Thanks to Project Veritas, we now know more. Undercover audio and video exposed how: --One Chase employee blamed “clerical” issues on Tarrio’s account cancellation. --Another stated: “I see nothing that indicates any reason why the account should be closed. I don’t see any outstanding transactions or anything ridiculous.” --Another explained: “Chase is not involved with any like, you know, alt-right people or anything.” Those with “no moral character” are people that “the bank usually doesn’t get involved with in any “business relationships, period.” --Several repeated a company line in Tarrio’s mysterious file: “Decision is not reversible.” Others who received Chase shutdown notices so far in 2019: conservative Rebel Media contributor Martina Markota, anti-sharia and pro-borders investigative journalist Laura Loomer and U.S.

Criticism of Ilhan Omar Isn’t Incitement A couple of years ago, I spoke at the University of California, Berkeley. My presence was apparently so offensive to a particular group by Ben Shapiro Syndicated Columnist of people that hundreds of police officers were necessary to ensure the safety of the event. As I spoke inside, the protesters milled about, chanting and shouting. One of their favorite ditties: “SPEECH IS VIOLENCE!” This, of course, is patent nonsense. Speech is not violence -and violence is not speech. Equating the two is the hallmark of a tyrannical worldview: If I can treat your speech as violence, then I am justified in using violence to suppress your speech. And yet that obvious fallacy has become the rallying cry in defense of execrable Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. Omar, who has been content to spout openly anti-Semitic nonsense every several weeks since
her election, came under fire this week for her remarks at an event in late March, shortly after her Democratic colleagues covered for her Jew hatred by watering down a resolution of condemnation. Speaking before the historically Hamas-friendly Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Omar unleashed a barrage of lies about the maltreatment of Muslims throughout America. In the midst of that barrage, she dropped a line about Sept. 11: “CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.” That minimization of 9/11 -and that’s what it is -- resulted in blowback from conservatives. It’s not as though Omar’s history of treating terrorism with kid gloves is anything new, after all. In 2013, Omar did an interview in which she chided one of her professors for treating terrorist groups with horror while failing to do the same to America, England and the military: “The thing that was interest-

Notre Dame de Paris Still Stands! UNITED NATIONS - Despite
the terrible fire which collapsed the roof and destroyed large parts of the fabled Gothic by John J. Metzler C a t h e d r a l , Syndicated Columnist despite the collapse of its iconic spire in the midst of the inferno, and despite the near apocalyptic pyre which engulfed the medieval church, Notre Dame de Paris still stands as a stunningly beautiful testament to Civilization, Culture and to Christianity. The world watched and wept as the media covered the conflagration as almost surrealistic images of the beloved medieval cathedral poured fourth with billows of smoke and flame. Can this happen? Is it true? Memories of September 11th darted through the embers to the melancholic soundtrack of fire brigade sirens as the dry wooden roof exploded into the dusk. This writer was stunned and saddened to see this tragedy unfold on TV; only later did the depth of the event really depress me. Yes, it happened. This was real. The magnificent stone structure was burning! N ot re D a me d e Paris was the first European cathedral I visited as a child; this grand
Gothic structure on its island surrounded by the Seine River and standing as a beautiful and enduring symbol of Paris and France. The pole star of Paris, the beating heart of France, the sanctuary of the Spirit. I’ve visited many of the great Cathedrals of France; Rheims, Chartres, Bourges, but Notre Dame stands in Paris and None stand above her. Over the years I have been privileged to see and visit this landmark many times. French President Emmanuel Macron pledged, “We will rebuild this Cathedral all together.” He stated, “our history, our literature, our imagination… We will rebuild it because it is what the French people expect, because it is what our history demands. Because it is our profound destiny.” Notre Dame Cathedral is viewed as the premier example of French Gothic architecture; Construction of the church began in 1163 and continued for over a century. For over 850 years Notre Dame as a product of the medieval imagination, piety and genius, has witnessed the tides of history as the Seine flows round her small island. Magnificent stained glass windows, with their refinements of light, color and parables to the saints, have largely been saved. Henry Adams, the great 19th century American author and chronicler of French cathedrals wrote, “Like all great churches,
that are not mere store-houses of theology.” He spoke of the architectural flying buttresses supporting the structure, the stained glass windows, the grotesque gargoyles leering over the sides and
of course the sacred interiors. Notre Dame remains a sacred symbol in a profoundly secular France. It represents cultural and historic patrimony as much as sacred structure.

Three Cheers for Stigma and Shame Started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum My father left, he never even married Mom I shared the guilt my mama knew by Ken Gorrell So afraid that Contributing Columnist others knew I had no name I heard Diana Ross’s voice clear as a bell driving down a state highway a couple of weeks ago. The song was in my head, not on the radio. It popped in there and rattled around for a while after passing a billboard that caught me up short. Love Child was a #1 hit for Diana Ross and the Supremes in 1968. The song painted an indelible picture of a young woman who wasn’t going to follow in her mother’s footsteps and have a child out of wedlock. How times have changed. In those eyes, I see reflected A hurt, scorned, rejected Love child The billboard I passed was an advertisement for NH Healthy Families. It featured a young woman looking into a baby carriage. Next to her was the tagline: “I decide which Medicaid plan is right for us.” Is it churlish to point out that the photo was one proton shy of a “nuclear family”? Maybe this wasn’t a love child, but it sure looked that way. It looked like this mother (with no father in the picture) needed medical welfare – Medicaid – to have her child. And there was not an ounce of gratitude in the caption, no “Thank you for helping me raise a healthy child.” Just raw entitlement. I’m all for protecting children, but without some old-fashioned,
1968-style stigma and shame, our social safety net has become a hammock; an overly-comfortable, overfull hammock at that. Stigma and shame were once the guardrails of life. They kept us on, if not the straight and narrow, at least the long and winding road of life. Without them, many people veer off the path and wander aimlessly, too often taking innocent children with them. In their 2013 study, Ron Haskins and Isabel Sawhill of Brookings Institution developed “the success sequence”: 1) earn at least a high school degree, 2) get a job, 3) get married before having a child. According to their research, following this sequence increases the odds that both parents and their children will succeed economically and socially. Fifty years ago illegitimacy and single-headed households were rare. Today, “more than 40 percent of American children, including more than 70 percent of black children and 50 percent of Hispanic children, are born outside marriage.” Haskins and Sawhill showed that this “unprecedented rate of nonmarital births, combined with the nation’s high divorce rate, means that around half of children will spend part of their childhood—and for a considerable number of these all of their childhood — in a single-parent family” and that while “single parents try to give their children a healthy home environment, children in female-headed families are four or more times as likely as children from married-couple families to live in poverty.” Children born to parents who are incapable of raising them without taxpayer support deserve our compassion and our help. But providing that help is requiring ever-

by Martha Swats, Owner/ Administrator, Comfort Keepers Oral cancer screening is an important test for older adults. Estimates show that more than 50,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year, and seniors are more at risk. Seniors may have questions about oral cancer screenings because they are experiencing symptoms or because the test is suggested by a health care provider. Below are some common questions and answers for anyone that would like more information on the disease and the screening process. What Is Oral Cancer? Oral cancer can refer to cancers occurring in the oral cavity (floor and roof of the mouth, teeth, gums, lips and cheeks, and the front of the tongue) as well as those occurring in the middle region of the throat and the back of the mouth. Are there early signs of oral cancer? If you experience any of the following symptoms, or any noticeable changes to your mouth or teeth, have a dentist or physician complete a screening. •Soreness •Irritation that lasts for a long period of time •Difficulty moving your mouth or jaw •A lump or thick patch of skin that doesn’t go away •Tenderness or numbness •Trouble swallowing or chewing
What Does An Oral Cancer Screening Look Like? A typical screening will take less than 10 minutes and will involve a doctor or dentist looking at and feeling various parts of the mouth and jaw. Typically, the signs of oral cancer can be seen. If a health professional feels that a more thorough screening is required, they can ask the patient to rinse their mouth with dye to better highlight any potential patches, lumps or anomalies. A biopsy may be necessary if the doctor or dentist feels that there are cancerous cells that need to be tested. What are treatment options for oral cancer? Surgery, radiation treatment, chemotherapy and medication can all be part of a treatment plan for oral cancer. If someone suspects they may have oral cancer, or mentions any of the symptoms listed above, encourage them to visit their healthcare professional to schedule a screening. Comfort Keepers® Can

Healthy Tip From Dr. Fink
INFLAMMATION: WHAT IT IS & HOW TO TREAT IT
by Dr. Charles Fink
Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center
It is a part of the body’s immune response. Infections, wounds and any damage to tissue would not be able to heal without an inflammatory response. Chronic Inflammation can eventually cause several diseases and conditions including cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. Many of us look for quick fixes when we are in pain. An aspirin, ibuprofen or other pain reliever is often out first choice. However, when you’re in pain, you’re body is telling you something. Maybe some lifestyle changes are in order? Some foods that are known to contribute to inflammation are processed
meats, sugary drinks, trans fats, bread, pasta, gluten, soybean or vegetable oils, processed snack foods such as chips and crackers to name a few. Try a healthier approach and make better food choices such as Greens, berries, vegetables, beans and lentils, lean meats and fish, dark chocolate to name a few. You also should make a daily commitment to drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. If you are a caffeine drinker you’ll need more water because caffeine works as a diuretic. Should you opt for a more natural approach with positive impact, consider the following list 1. Get all junk out of your diet; educate yourself as to what is ‘good food’. 2. Clean up our gut, digestive disease and inflammation goes hand in hand (try a small amount of fermented food with your meals such as sauerkraut, kimchi, tempeh, and kombucha 3. Choose healthy grains and avoid gluten if you are sensitive to it. 4. Avoid foods that make
you feel worse. (plan ahead and pack healthy snacks in your car, purse, backpack or brief case) 5. Avoid sugar and artificial sugars especially 6. Choose healthy oils. A good way to remember B.A.C.O.N. (real butter, Avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and nut butters are all good healthy fat choices. 7. Eat 30 grams of protein with each meal 8. Eat leafy greens, they all have anti-inflammatory benefits 9. Once on the road to good health and pain free an occasional cheat won’t set you back 10. RELAX! Out of control stress and worry can cause inflammation Fink Chiropractic and Natural Health Improvement Center offers a variety of options from Chiropractic care, to nutritional support and suggestions, and cold laser treatments.

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer
Like most of the world I watched in sadness as the Notre Dame Cathedral burned. It stood for more that 850 years. It survived sieges, wars, and revolution. Yet, there it was burning. The home to priceless art, stunning medieval architecture, and huge historical moments was being destroyed. This previously undefeated monument had succumbed. Watch the news enough, however and you begin to realize a hard truth: life can change in an instance. Whether it is a national tragedy or a story of personal hardship, the same idea holds true. My question, in light of understanding that life can change in an instance, is this: how many live life like we have unlimited time? In my opinion, the most valuable commodity we have as humans. So what are we using our time on? Is it what we love, chasing our dreams, or creating a better life/world for ourselves and those around us? It seems too often we do not spend our days on those, aforementioned pursuits, but on rather surviving and grinding through our days. Sometimes we function (or barely function) in a closed loop of work, eat, Netflix, sleep, repeat until we can even begin to forget who we are as individuals. Life becomes simply putting one foot in front of the other. To be fair, there are periods of life where we have to just get through the day. But if that becomes our nor-
mal it can become problematic. The answer is to find your passion and chase it. Maybe we feel like we can’t do this. But I think we need to start making our passions a priority. It’s not selfish, it is a key to being healthy. We often think of health as exercise and diet (and that’s true), but it is also mental and spiritual health. It’s being a whole person and you can’t be a whole person if you don’t follow your loves. Now the passion you have isn’t so important, it’s about doing it. It could be fishing, knitting, making art, playing a sport, learning a language, starting a business, etc. That thing that drives you and makes you feel excited; find it and hold on to it. There are other benefits to chasing our passions, besides doing something you love: 1. It is good for your brain. Per totalbrainhealth.com “a German study found that adults who became proficient jugglers showed increased brain volume on imaging studies.” Learning a skill increases our brain’s neuroplasticity. Basically that means it increases the brain’s ability to grow new neurons and make connections. There is also evidence that engaging in an intellectual passion (and
that’s not just reading or learning a language, anything that involves problem solving, in my opinion would fit the bill.) helps stave off memory loss as we age. 2. It is good for your heart. Doing something you love improves how you feel about your day to day life and it gives you a purpose. It basically improves your psychological well being and this improved well being is linked to cardiovascular health. An author of one such study, Laura Kubzansky of Harvard School of Public Health says, per cnn.com, “For physical health, it’s not so much happiness per se, but this ability to regulate and have a sense of purpose and meaning.” The bottom line is that we know life can be unpredictable and change instantly. We owe to ourselves and to those around us to be our best, most healthy selves. So yes, live a healthy lifestyle. Eat well, exercise, get good sleep. But don’t forget to make a complete health picture by protecting your body and mind by finding purpose in chasing your passions.

Tips to Manage Asthma and Avoid Your Triggers
(StatePoint) More than 26 million Americans are living with asthma, including 6.2 million children. While there is no cure, asthma can be managed and treated so that those with the condition can live normal, healthy lives -- indoors as well as outdoors. May is Asthma Awareness Month and a great opportunity to learn more about common triggers -- which include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, exercise and emotions -- as well as better understand what causes your symptoms. To get started, the American Lung Association is
offering the following tips.
friendly products.
1. Combat indoor allergens. Animal dander, dust mites and mold are common allergens found indoors that can cause asthma symptoms. Keeping a clean home can help keep the presence of such allergens in check. For allergen-specific cleaning tips, as well as strategies for reducing the growth of mold and dust mites in your home, visit Lung. org/asthma-triggers. Be forewarned, cleaning supplies that have odors and fragrances can cause asthma symptoms to flare. Check the label and stick to safe, asthma-
2. Avoid smoke and tobacco. Any kind of smoke, including tobacco smoke as well as smoke from e-cigarettes or “vaping,” are known to irritate the airways of the lung. If you have asthma, don’t smoke and avoid being around people who do. If you need help quitting, visit Lung. org/ffs or call 1-800-LUNGUSA. 3. Stay weather-aware. Be aware that extreme weather events, such as drought, floods, wildfires and tornados, can create airborne irritants and allergens for individuals
with asthma. Use the Air Quality Index found on the American Lung Association site to stay aware of current conditions and help protect yourself from outdoor air pollution. People with asthma will want to avoid being outside on days when the air quality index value is above 100, or in the orange, red, purple or maroon categories.
4. Know your own triggers. Avoiding and controlling your asthma triggers all begins with identifying them. Work with your doctor to find out what allergens or irritants may be causing your asthma symptoms; an
allergy test can help. Together you and your doctor can create an Asthma Action Plan that includes finding simple solutions to reduce your exposure to your asthma triggers and make breathing easier. You can learn more about your asthma and how to manage triggers at Lung. org/asthma, and through a free one-hour, interactive online course at Lung. org/asthma-basics. If you suffer from asthma or love someone who does, take steps to better understand the condition and reduce the presence of common triggers in your everyday life.

New Hampshire's Choice for Local & National News,Talk & Weather by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr.
WEZS Newstalk
Contributing Writer
Back in April of 1906 a Berlin, New Hampshire woman, Alice Frost Lord, wrote a letter to the editor of the Laconia Democrat newspaper in which she objected to the “lamentable ignorance or willful meanness in misrepresenting a subject which is now coming so prominently before the country- socialism.” She asked for and received space in the newspaper to correct the ignorance concerning the beliefs of “those that are afflicted with the socialistic bug” as they had been described. There seemed to be agreement that socialism was a topic that was gathering interest among the people, but there did not seem to be any agreement as to what socialism actually was and what the result of its implementation on society would be. The letter writer expressed her desire to give the view of the scientific socialist which she suggested was in conflict w it h t he new sp a per’ s opinion that the first desired act of the socialist was to “deprive the rich aristocracy of their enormous wealth and divide it equally among the people.” Alice Lord stated that it was not only socialists that thought something had to be done because the “present social and

She said that there were some who thought that the answer was government control, but indicated that such action would end in failure and that government control is a failure. The scientific socialist does not believe in taking money from the rich and dividing it up among the people. Neither did the writer advocate getting rid of monopolies, even though she saw them as a problem, but thought that the monopolies should be run by the people. She wrote about using the science “which has been applied to production, which has done away with competition and evolved different lines of industry into big monopolies should be applied to distribution by the ownership by the people of these big monopolies; and that
these monopolies shall be operated by the people in somewhat the same manner as our post office, municipal water and lighting plants are operated, etc. This “scientific” socialism would not do away with monopolies but leave them in the hands of the producer, which I guess, if I und er sta n d th e con cep t right, would amount to the workers also being the owners of industries. To the “scientific” socialist competition was not a good thing either. Alice Lord described it as a wasteful thing. She wrote, “monopoly under private control brings about the social and industrial evils at which the people everywhere today protest.” Competition would be succeeded by cooperation under the ownership of monopolies by the people who would then work together for the good of everyone.

The editor of the Laconia Democrat while acknowledging that the letter from Berlin accused the press (today usually referred to as part of the media) of ignorance and malice in their reporting, seeming to have a different understanding of socialism, especially on the matter of government control. He quotes his dictionary as defining socialism by saying “…in common usage the term socialism is often employed to indicate any lawless, revolutionary social scheme.” I would guess that was not the only definition of the word given in his dictionary, but a good example of picking out the parts that support one’s viewpoint while omitting others. “As we understand the matter,” wrote the editor, “the advocates of socialism would have the government take the railroads, the express and telegraph companies, and we presume the telephones; in fact all public utilities such as street railroads, water service, electric lighting plants, gas plants, and
THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, April 25, 2019
coal mines, we think.” In the opinion of the newspaper editor the adoption of socialism would eventually bring about governmental control over about everything. He reasoned that if one went to the government to obtain coal for his coal stove that another would have to go to the government to buy wood for his wood stove. He wrote “… in due time the American citizen would not only go to the post-office for his mail, and the government express office for his packages, but would stop on his way home at the government distribution bureau to get a pack of government flour, a few slices of government beef, and perhaps a government woolen shirt, besides of course a package of government tobacco.” His vision of socialism was a society in which all private run businesses would be a thing of the past and everyone would work for the government. Men like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie would not be allowed to accumulate wealth and would be reduced to
something we can take from the exchange of ideas concerning socialism in the past that will enable us to make good decisions today. One source I visited for the definition of socialism indicated that the word has been tossed around so much today that it has about lost all meaning. My 1958 dictionary says it is “a theory or system of social organization by which the means of production and distribution are owned collectively and controlled through the government.” Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr., welcomes your comments at danahillsmihs@ yahoo.com

APRIL WOES “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair …” — A TALE OF TWO CITIES Our struggling Boston Red Sox visited New York’s Yankee Stadium last week with an opportunity to rebound from one of the franchise’s worst starts ever. Instead the BoSox left the Bronx with the American League’s worst record. As T.S. Elliot said, “April is the cruelest month.” How can a team that was so good last October be so bad this April? Especially considering that it’s basically the same team. But that may be part of the problem. While most clubs wheeled and dealed to improve themselves, the BoSox remained largely static—the departure of closer Craig Kimbrel notwithstanding. Part of the reason for the great success of the New England Patriots involves Bill Belichick’s constant personnel maneuvering. He’s not one to “stand Pat,” if you’ll excuse the pun. The Celtics erred with long-term commitments their “Big 3” of the 1980s (Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish). The “Big 3” spent a collective 40 years in Boston, won three titles, and grew old together. Sadly, the Celtics spent over a decade mired in mediocrity following their departures. But its only April, and the BoSox have too much

How can a team that was so good last October be so bad this April? talent to languish like this all season. They’ll have some hot streaks that will energize Red Sox Nation. Truth be told, I’d kind of like to see them fall “14 back” and then do to the Yankees what the Yankees did to the BoSox back in 1978. Now THAT would be a great 2019 encore to a 2018 season that saw the team dominant from April through November. LOSER LAKERS During the post-Bird 15 years of Celtic mediocrity (above), the Los Angeles Lakers were the NBA’s marquee team, along with the San Antonio Spurs,
as they raised their title total to 16, one behind Boston’s 17. But L.A. hasn’t won a playoff game since 2012. They didn’t even come close to making the playoffs this year, despite the presence of the best basketball player ever, LeBron James—who’ll be 35 next season. And word has it that Laker-Land is no longer a desired destination for NBA elites. How the mighty have fallen. So, oddly, I find myself pulling for the Lakers to somehow resurrect themselves.

Most salmon anglers come to Lake Winnipesaukee looking forward to two very distinct times of year for salmon fishing, early spring and late summer. The salmon season runs from April 1st through September 30th each year, and if you ask most any salmon angler when the best months to catch salmon are, you’ll undoubtedly be told April through mid-June, and mid-August through September. For most anglers, it’s the ice-out period that drives them to the lake in search of Winnipesaukee chrome. Although the salmon season opens on April first, ice-out isn’t typically declared on Lake Winnipesaukee until around the third week of April. Anglers begin targeting salmon from bridges and docks until there is enough open water for water craft, first kayaks and canoes, and then smaller boats, followed by larger boats. Each day, as more water opens up, more boats take advantage. By May 1st, the lake is taken over by anglers all vying for their chance at one of New Hampshire’s plump and healthy landlocked Atlantic salmon. Spring is many anglers’ favorite time of year because the salmon are running shallow, following smelt runs and looking to fatten up on concentrations of food. The salmon are hungry, the bite is good, and local bait shops are usually still carrying smelt, which is the pre-
ferred bait of most spring salmon anglers. Slowly trolling a live or sewn-on smelt near the surface is a deadly tactic early in the morning. Salmon find them almost irresistible. Some anglers prefer to troll streamer flies, and those in the know catch as many or more fish with flies as those using live bait. Add a light wind that creates what anglers refer to as “salmon chop” and you’re in for a treat. My guided trips consist almost entirely of trolling live bait early in the season. We catch more fish trolling or drifting smelt than we do with flies, so that’s what I stick with. Our clients come to catch big fish, but they love to see the rods pop out of the downriggers, and the numbers of fish are there. When only trolling a few feet below the surface, a rod popping out of the downrigger is almost always immediately followed by aerial acrobatics that keep the blood pumping. The limit on Lake Win-
nipesaukee is two fish, which could easily be filled by 8am most mornings, but many of our clients prefer to catch and release so they can keep fishing. They can’t resist seeing those salmon jumping on the end of their lines, and can’t bear the thought of quitting early. As water temperatures increase, a thermocline sets up on the lake and the salmon begin to run deeper in search of cooler more stable water temps. Eventually live smelt become unavailable in the bait shops and we switch to trolling spoons on downriggers and leadcore line. Many anglers love trolling spoons because they can be trolled much faster, allowing you to cover a lot more water, but some will stick with streamers and play with size, profile, and color. Until ice-out is declared, we take bookings as early as May 1. If the lake is free of ice earlier, we start running trips right away. They say the early bird gets the See MOORE on 32

When England was starting to colonize India, the settlers there were missing some of the favorite things from their homeland... including English beer. When the English supply ships set out on the long journey to India, they sent wooden barrels filled with finely produced pale ale. But upon arriving months later with the goods, the settlers tasted the supplied ales and found them ‘skunked’ or spoiled. Time and warm storage conditions were the villains responsible. Back home,

turn our focus to Hazy Rotation #3. Great North Aleworks is a 20 barrel brewery located in Manchester, NH and owned by Rob and Lisa North, both from Canada (aka Great White North). They both have had many high-score homebrewing achievements. During 2013, Rob worked at Newburyport Brewing in Rhode Island while they made their plans and fi-
nally decided to open their own brewery in 2014. With a dedication to flavor and purity, Great North is making their efforts known quickly around New Hampshire. Besides their IPA, look for their Amber Lager, Robust Vanilla Porter and Smokin’ Rauchbier (smoked ale). You can find these in 12 oz 6 pks cans, rent 1/2 barrel or 1/6 barrel kegs, or get growlers at their Manchester brewery. Visit them at or their website at www. greatnorthaleworkscom. Hazy Rotation #3 NEIPA is a very hazy, golden delicious looking India Pale Ale that should be poured into a clear pint glass to fully appreciate its beauty.

greater sacrifices by people who have made good life choices and live lives in accord with the eternal truths. When people are forced to choose between their own families’ welfare and supporting a welfare state that subsidizes people who have made bad choices, resentments will build. It’s human nature. If the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money, the problem with our welfare-entitlement state is that eventually people run out of compassion for others. For millennia societies developed rules, not codified into law, to help guide behavior. It was a social contract. We jettisoned that contract about the time Love Child first hit the airwaves and have been suffering for it ever since. In reporting on the “success sequence” for the New York Times, columnist David Leonhardt wrote, “Among parents between the ages of 28 and 34 who themselves had grown up in low-income households and then followed the success sequence, only 14 percent were living in poverty...By comparison, the poverty rate was 46 percent for those parents who had grown up in low-income households and then had a child without ever marrying.” What’s best for children and society: Returning to a time when social pressure helped to keep a lid on the number of children born into untenable situations, or removing that pressure, subsidizing bad behaviors, 1936 Apr. 8 1942 Apr. 18 1948 Apr. 10 and “normalizing” the un1937 Apr. 25 1943 Apr. 30 1949 Apr. 6 tenable? 1938 Apr. 17 1944 May 3 1950 Apr. 20 At some point some1939 May 4 1945 Apr. 1 1951 Apr. 14 thing is going to give.

7 Steps To Planning Your Remodel Project Remodeling your home can be one of the most exciting projects to undertake. Whether you’re thinking about a bathroom update, kitchen overhaul or a new room addition, planning and setting realistic expectations are critical in ensuring your project goes as smoothly as possible. Consider these steps from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) before you get started: 1. Determine your goals and needs. Understand why you are undertaking the project, whether it’s for resale value or so you can enjoy your home more. If looking to increase resale value, consider the neighborhood and potential upgrades that can have the highest impact when going to market. If remodeling can make for a more comfortable space, create a list of “must-haves” and “niceto-haves” then evaluate

costs such as long-term maintenance, repairs, energy use and a dining out budget if undergoing a full kitchen remodel or hotel costs sometimes necessary with largescale projects. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, be sure to get a written estimate and scope of work once you’ve selected a contractor.
3. Understand your budget. Setting a budget and staying within it is critical to the project’s success. Be sure to build in a contingency fund for unforeseen expenses. Project expenses should factor in the cost of products, labor and project management. There are also possible additional

long lead times and may require flexibility to deliver optimal results. 5. Find a contractor you trust. Home remodeling can be stressful no matter how well you plan, but a dependable partner can make the process go smoother. While some of the best references may come from neighbors, friends or family members, a trade association like NARI can help with its online “Find a Remodeler” tool. Make sure any contractor you’re considering has several years of relevant experience, as well as liability insurance. 6. Check references. When it comes to remodeling your home, you can never be too careful when choosing who to work with. Be sure to follow up on references, read reviews online and even check out the work of any remodelers you’re considering hiring, if possible. 7. Prepare for the process. Regardless of the size of the project, there will almost surely be inconvenience, noise, dust and potential delays.
Your daily routine will most likely be disrupted. Because it can be especially stressful when redoing the kitchen or an essential bathroom, you’ll probably need to consider a backup plan or other arrangements throughout the duration
of the project. Remember to also declutter the work area and protect or pack away any belongings that might be in the way during the renovation. Find more tips for planning a remodel at RemodelingDoneRight.com.

How To Add A Bathroom In An ‘Impossible’ Space (BPT) - When it comes to real estate, kitchens and bathrooms typically sell houses. While you may not have enough money for a kitchen remodel, adding a bathroom can be a more affordable way to enhance your property and catch buyers’ attention. By adding another bathroom, you immediately increase your chances of your home getting noticed. Technology makes it simple for buyers to search properties of interest by their designated criteria. One of those is “minimum number of bathrooms.” By adding to that amount in your listing, you’ll be getting in front of that many more potential buyers. Adding Bathrooms To Difficult Spaces Bathrooms increase a
home’s value and add to its functionality - both elements that buyers desire. Homeowners researching opportunities to add a bathroom to their property presale consider enhancing basements, garage slabs and other spaces so contractors can add plumbing systems with conventional in-floor drainage. If you have a space that would be ideal for a bathroom but appears to be impossible due to the need to break through concrete or other types of flooring, there’s another solution to consider: above-floor, macerating plumbing systems. Developed a half century ago in Europe, these systems are still relatively unknown in the U.S.; however, they offer a vast opportunity for homeowners. Macerating systems from

makers like Saniflo (Saniflo.com) reduce waste and paper from the toilet and send it under high pressure through piping directly into the septic or sewer system. No waste is stored, and the systems are low-cost compared to traditional plumbing. Systems are discreet, quiet and open the possibilities of affordable additions in less time. Here are five “impossible” home improvement scenarios where above-floor plumbing may be the solution: Main Floor On-Slab Construction Owners of slab-built homes may hesitate to cut into the concrete founda-
tion to accommodate conventional plumbing. No matter how careful a contractor is when cutting into concrete, problems can arise - from unexpected obstructions to poor-fitting patches and even stress cracks. Above-floor plumbing systems eliminate the need to cut into the slab, so integrity isn’t compromised. Basements If your home is built with a basement, bathroom additions can be problematic due to concrete and existing plumbing limitations. Above-floor, macerating plumbing is a smart solution for fast, cost-effective bathroom additions in lower-level rooms.
Historic Homes Opening walls or floors to accommodate piping may jeopardize important historic elements, such as original wood flooring or plaster walls. Systems like Saniflo’s macerating toilet and plumbing technology eliminate the need to cut through a floor to install new drainage, while minimizing the impact on walls as well. The system also fits easily into small areas like a closet or the dead space behind a stairway, meaning homeowners don’t have to compromise the flow of their historic homes to add a bathroom. Raised Homes Bayou and beach towns often boast charming raised homes. Adding a bathroom to the lowest floor of a raised home can be problematic; conventional plumbing pipes may detract from the aesthetic value of the space beneath the home, which is often used for car ports, porches and decks. Above-floor plumbing eliminates the need for unsightly pipes, so you can make a great first impression to potential buyers. Warehouse Rehabs In cities across the country, warehouses have found new life as condos and apartments. But heavy brick construction can make adding traditional plumbing difficult. Abovefloor plumbing eliminates the need to cut into or remove bricks, and allows renovators to install attractive, cozy bathrooms in smaller spaces. Imagine how upgrading a one-bath condo to a property with two bathrooms will enhance resale. If you’re preparing your home for the real estate market, you want it to stand out. An extra bathroom can help you do that and attract high bids from buyers.

Recent surveys show millennials prefer a mix of old and new buildings in the places where they live, dine and shop.

land-use patterns in New Hampshire are leaving farms and barns, waterfront properties, churches, meetinghouses and downtown buildings under-used and vulnerable. Suburban sprawl, “new is better” attitudes and intractable parking and complex property issues often lead to the loss of irreplaceable historic as-

SHAPIRO from 6
ing in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaida,’ his shoulders went up. ... But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity. You don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the Army’ with the intensity.” In 2016, Omar wrote a letter to a judge asking for lighter sentences for men accused of being Islamic State group recruits, noting that these men merely “chose violence to combat direct marginalization” and calling their recruitment “a consequential mistake” that resulted from “systematic alienation.” In 2017, Omar wrote for Time magazine: “We must confront that our nation was founded by the genocide of indigenous people and on the backs of slaves, that we maintain global power with the tenor of neocolonialism. ... Our national avoidance tactic has been to shift the focus to potential international terrorism.” That’s not exactly a ringing rebuke of international terrorism. But now Omar is criticizing those who merely quote her as inciting violence. She has claimed that President Trump, who posted a video that juxtaposed footage of 9/11
with her “some people did something” comment, is responsible for an uptick in the number of death threats she has received. Her close friend Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., went so far as to compare Omar to a victim of the Holocaust. This is immoral in the extreme. Omar isn’t a victim because she’s being criticized. And speech isn’t incitement. Sen. Bernie Sanders wasn’t responsible for the congressional baseball game shooting. Former President Barack Obama wasn’t responsible for the Dallas police shooting. And Trump isn’t responsible for those who send Omar death threats. He’s responsible for criticizing her -rightly, in this case. Democrats who hide behind the charge of incitement are simply attempting to quash debate. And that’s far more dangerous for the future of America than criticizing a radical politician.

Army combat vet and vocal Trump supporter Joe Biggs. Were Markota’s, Loomer’s and Biggs’ removals “clerical” errors or unfounded or were they based on an ideological litmus test disguised as a “moral character” assessment? More questions arise: How exactly is J.P. Morgan Chase’s $500,000 donation last year to the SPLC left-wing operatives being put to use? Why did the company embrace a known defamation racket whose stated mission is to “destroy” its political enemies on the right? What comment does Chase have now that SPLC’s top leaders have been purged amid internal accusations of intolerance and discrimination within the walls of the notorious Poverty Palace? Does Chase keep tabs on high-profile conservative customers’ political speech on social media platforms? Is Chase operating from the same playbook as Paypal, which is booting off conservatives in consulta-
METZLER from 7
The UNESCO Director Audrey Azoulay sta ted , “ N otr e Da m e represents a historically, architecturally, and spiritually, outstanding universal heritage. It is also a monument of literary heritage, a place that is unique in our collective imagination. Heritage of the French but also of humanity as a whole.” Bishop Matthieu Rouge of Nanterre outside of Paris conceded, “I think France may be one of the least religious countries in the world.” Notre Dame is more than a Church, but a symbol. It’s bells signaled the history of Paris and indeed of France. During the French Revolution after 1789, the Cathedral was desecrated and defaced; the great French writer Vitor Hugo wrote his iconic 1831 novel Hunchback of Notre Dame to help
tion with the SPLC? One of its most recent victims: Luke Rohlfing, a young reporter for BigLeaguePolitics.com, who had exposed how the payment processor was allowing Open Borders Inc. heavyweight Pueblo Sin Fronteras to raise money for illegal immigrant caravans conspiring to break our immigration laws -- even though Paypal’s own terms of service state clearly that users may not engage in any activities that “violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation.” Tarrio warns of the speech-squelching pattern emerging across Silicon Valley and on Wall Street: “First we get silenced on social media, then Paypal, then I get debanked. It’s a very dangerous trend.” He is not alone. Former Toronto mayoral candidate and social media commentator Faith Goldy told me: “To date I’ve been banned from: PayPal, Patreon, GoFundMe, Airbnb, Facebook and Instagram. I’ve committed no crime! My only fault is loving my country and quoting government
statistics to a camera from my kitchen table. The nature of big tech censorship is imperialistic and these Silicon Valley nerds won’t stop until every freethinker is snuffed or scared into submission.” As for Chase Bank, I sent all my questions to chief communications officer Patricia Wexler, who challenged the authenticity of one of the employees recorded by Veritas (O’Keefe showed proof of the Chase New York media relations number dialed and had audio of the employee identifying himself as a Chase rep) and ignored the substance of the report. Evasion and denial are surefire ways to lose business. Is it Chase Bank or Chase Away Bank? Inquiring customers would like to know.
revive interest in the deteriorating cathedral, General Charles de Gaulle visited Notre Dame on the Liberation of Paris from the Nazis in 1944, its iconic bells tolling the rebirth of freedom. During the recent inferno, Notre Dame’s flames were extinguished by the tears of the Parisians and the bravery of the Paris Fire Brigade. Rev. Jean-Marc Fournier, Brigade Chaplin, ran into the burning cathedral to save priceless relics, such as the Crown of Thorns, believed to have been worn by Jesus at the Crucifixion, as well as tunic of St. Louis, the French Crusader King. The main altar with the Pieta and Cross survived too amid the collapsed roof. Massive donations from the French business community and throughout the world have been pledged to rebuild; Presi-
dent Macron wants to see the job completed in five years but this task appears optimistic given the challenge of rebuilding the steep vaulted roof and reinforcing the long crumbling structure. Macron’s call for artistically Creative reconstruction? No thanks! The original was just fine. Notre Dame has suffered and has been damaged, but after 850 years, the masterpiece of architecture and hope endures. France mourns, the world weeps, but Notre Dame still Stands!

What’s Going On Meow? Donations Needed to Help With Feral Trapping Season
It is spring and the feral cats’ hearts turn to thoughts of making babies. We are heavily into our trapping season, and need donations of large dog kennels (lab and retriever sized) to give them a comfortable place to sleep after we get them spayed or neutered. We also expect to get in a large number of kittens from feral moms that can be socialized and adopted. We use large plastic totes to give the moms a quiet dark place to have and raise their kittens safely. Clean used totes are great for this. Contact thosecatrescuepeople@gmail. com and we can pick them up!
Foster Homes Needed for Puppies Too!
It is an old story, young beagle mix girl meets black lab boy, and love… er…puppies result. Abigail, and several other pregnant dogs need safe fosters to raise their puppies before they find new homes themselves. If you can foster near Concord, Chichester and Seacoast New Hampshire, Contact www.liveandletlivefarm.org
State Vouchers for Spay & Neuter
The State of New Hampshire has a program to help people with limited income spay and neuter their pets. It is a simple form and will pay for all but $25 of the spay or neuter as well as a rabies shot. Since the state requires all pets (including ferrets) to have rabies vaccines, this is an awesome service. There is only one employee running the program so it can take some time, but is well worth the wait. You can find the applications at https://www.agriculture.nh.gov/divisions/animal-industry/animal-populationcontrol.html

He may be compatible with another cat with a similar demeanor, and would prefer a home without young children. Do you have room for this kingly kitty?

Liz Euiler celebrating a win at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. Young Liz Euiler rowing on Lake Waukewan. EUILER from 1
- including his own daughter, whose love for rowing started it all. Liz continued to make a name for herself in college. Her coach at UMASS was skeptical at first because she was such a small kid in a tall person’s sport. Before the end of her first semester, she had proven herself to be a major force on the team and was awarded “Novice of the Year” at the end of her freshman year and Atlantic 10 AllConference 1st team and Captain by senior year. Liz wanted to go to Graduate school and also continue working towards her rowing goal of making the national team. The coach at Brock University in St. Catha-
rines, Ontario made her an offer that fit perfectly into her plans. She continued to race and train with more amazing coaches while getting her Masters in Kinesiology. Working her way up into the world of elite rowing, the next step was joining old friends at Philadelphia’s boathouse row. It’s considered the center of the rowing community in the US. She settled into the elite program at Vesper Boat Club while working toward her PhD at Drexel University. Liz has had many wins (multiple national championships and Canadian Henley wins) and many disappointments over the past years of racing. Yet recently, while
training in a pair (2 rowers, one oar each), she and her pair partner, Solveig Imsdahl, qualified to compete in Rio de Janeiro at the Pan American Qualification Regatta last December. They raised the money to get to Rio, rowed very well and were able to secure their spot to compete for Team USA at the 2019 Pan American Games
