*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

A Civics Lesson

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

People often come up to me on the street all the time and ask: “Brendan, can you tell me exactly how the New Hampshire legislature works?” Realizing the trust people put in me to give them the best information. I do my best to explain, based solely on my own observations. In a nutshell, the New Hampshire legislature is where elected officials go for a few months every year, drink coffee and figure out how you are going to live your life. The legislature consists of the House, where there are 400 members and the Senate, where there are 24. Everyone gets elected for two years at a time and gets paid only 200 dollars. Of course, the first thing that would pop into your head is “How could anyone who signs up for a bad deal like this be capable of making decisions that affect my life?” Still, someone has to do the job, whether you like it or not. (Of course, they do get a cool license plate and they don’t have to pay tolls, so that counts for something, I guess.) So, just how do these people get elected in the first place? Well, remember when you voted for president last year? Of course you do. Remember all of those other names on the ballot that you didn’t know

were going to be there since no one ever talked about them on the news? Remember how you went ahead and filled in the circle next to some of these names because you felt it was your civic duty even though you had no idea who they were? Well, these people are now your legislators. In deciding how they want you to live your life, these legislators introduce things called bills. “Bills” is just a fancy name for “things I want other people to have to do (or not do) or pay for (one of their favorites)”. Since this is a democracy, a legislator can’t simply make up an idea for a bill and then we all have to do what he or she wants. In order for a bill to become law, it has to be approved by a majority of the other legislators who happen to show up on the day that the bill is voted on. Not all bills make it to be voted on. The totally ridiculous bills will be cast aside never to be voted on, leaving only the somewhat ridiculous ones. Of course, so as not to rush through any bills that would be detrimental to the public, hours of speeches are first made by legislators for and against these bills. After this, a vote is taken where the legislators vote exactly the way they had planned to vote before these hours of speeches began. The important thing to remember is that the legislators are there to represent you, the people, the ones who had no idea who they were when you filled in the circle next to their name when you went to vote for president. You are enc o u r a g e d to call your representative and to write emails

expressing your point of view on any bill that is coming up for a vote. Letting them know your opinion will make you feel as if you are part of the legislative process. The representative then takes into consideration all of the calls and emails they receive, contemplates them carefully and then, when they arrive in Concord on the day of the vote, and after they have some coffee, they will vote for whatever the heads of their particular party tell them to vote for. A lot of bills that are introduced are defeated and introduced again and defeated again and introduced again year after year into what seems like an eternity. The hope of the legislator who keeps introducing the bill is that one day the other legislators will scream: “Okay, okay, enough already, you can have your stupid casino.” Of course, there is a lot more to the legislative process than I have the time to discuss here. (Wait, I did already mention the cool license plates and the fact that they don’t have to pay tolls so I guess there really isn’t any more.) I hope this little primer helped you understand how our system of government works and now you’ll stop bothering me.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 8, 2017

A Conservative Mom Breaks The Pot Taboo Let’s talk about marijuana. Specifically, let’s talk about how and why I came to be one of the countparby Michelle Malkin l e s s Syndicated Columnist ents across America (and around the world) who have let their chronically ill children try it. A groundbreaking new study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine reported on the health benefits of cannabidiol for children with epilepsy. The randomized, double-blind, controlled study found that among children with Dravet syndrome taking cannabidiol, the decrease in the frequency of convulsive seizures was 23 percentage points greater than the decrease in seizures among children taking a placebo. Cannabidiol is one of hundreds of chemical components found in cannabis plants. Unlike THC, the most famous of marijuana’s compounds, CBD is nonhallucinogenic and nonaddictive. It doesn’t make you high. CBD can be extracted from hemp and sold as an oil. That’s what the pioneering Stanley Brothers of Boulder, Colorado, did several years ago when they conceived and manufactured “Charlotte’s Web” -- named after Charlotte Figi, a Colorado Springs girl with Dravet syndrome whose seizures dramatically decreased after using CBD. Until now, evidence of marijuana’s benefits for pediatric epilepsy patients has been

largely anecdotal. The new CBD study, led by researchers at the NYU Langone’s Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, is a hugely significant development because it uses the scientific gold standard of a randomized controlled trial. Other limited clinical trials involving CBD have explored the drug’s therapeutic benefits for pediatric patients with conditions ranging from anxiety to movement disorders to inflammatory diseases, multiple sclerosis and cancer. My own interest in pediatric use of medicinal marijuana is more than academic. When my daughter, Veronica, fell ill in late spring of 2015 -- unable to breathe normally, bedridden with chronic pain and fatigue -- she saw dozens of specialists. Among those doctors was a leading neurologist at one of Denver’s most wellregarded hospitals who treated intractable cases. The various drugs prescribed to my daughter weren’t working and had awful side effects. One of them, a potent antiepileptic drug called Trileptal, was supposed to treat the severe motor tic that left her gasping for air nonstop for months. But Trileptal ended up causing extreme loss of appetite, more fatigue and temporary dystonia, while doing nothing to alleviate the tics. The constant jerking of her body caused one of my daughter’s hypermobile shoulders to dislocate multiple times a day -- increasing her pain and anxiety. To our surprise, the mainstream neurologist suggested Veronica try CBD. This doctor had other young patients who used CBD oil with positive

Embrace The Robots

We have seen the enemy, and it is the robot. A wave of fear over automation is driving dire preby Rich Lowry dictions about Contributing Writer robots rendering swaths of Americans unemployable and has created a vogue for outlandishly stupid policy proposals. A popular idea in Silicon Valley is for a so-called universal basic income -- the government would write everyone a monthly check -- to cushion the unemployment effect of automation (never mind that such a policy would itself have an unemployment effect). Bill Gates wants to tax robots, which makes about as much sense as taxing personal computers back in 1991. The rising tide of hysteria about our technological future has to count as one of the most pernicious features of the curSee malkin on 41 rent intellectual climate. The

only way to raise our standard of living is to increase productivity, which is impossible without innovation. This process always destroys some jobs but, by raising wages and cutting prices, makes it possible for new jobs to spring up in their place. This, in a nutshell, is the story of the American economy, as Robert Atkinson and John Wu describe in a new study for the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation. It’s not a tale of stasis but of gales of technological change constantly making the economic landscape anew. It’s hard to see how anyone would want it any other way. Do we really want to recover the tens of thousands of pinsetter jobs that used to be filled by boys and young men at bowling alleys prior to the adoption of the automatic pinsetting machine in the 1940s? Or return to 1950, when there were more than 100,000 elevator operators, an occupation that essen-

Candidates were chosen based on the time honored rule of both geographical representation as well as behind the scenes lobbying for a coveted place on the fifteenmember Council. Let’s take a look at the candidates who will serve alongside the five permanent Council members; China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Africa: Two seats were filled for the African continent. Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) a country just emerging from a civil conflict was chosen. A former French colony in West Africa, since 2002 the country faced a spiral of ethnic and religious violence which prompted sending a UN Peacekeeping mission which is only now ending its mission after thirteen years. Cote d’Ivoire replaces Senegal. Equatorial Guinea, an oil rich

micro-state on the African coast presents a far deeper moral and political challenge. Though its candidacy was endorsed by the African Union regional group, Equatorial Guinea stands as a stereotypical post-modern dictatorship and a glaring affront both to the Security Council and to democratic Africa. According to Human Rights Watch, “Corruption, poverty, and repression continue to plague Equatorial Guinea under President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has been in power since 1979, making him the world’s longest serving non-royal head of state.” Despite the country’s oil wealth, the socio/economic standing for the majority of the population is dismal. Political and civil rights according to the human rights monitor Freedom House stand at 7 out of 100, actually below Cuba but just ahead of Eritrea and Somalia. Equatorial Guinea replaces Egypt, a close American friend. Asia Pacific: Kuwait assumes the Asian seat replacing Japan. Recall, it was the 1990 invasion of sovereign Kuwait by Saddam’s Iraq, which triggered this current spiral of instability in the Mid- East. A close American ally, Kuwait has offered significant humanitarian aid to help Syrian refugees. US UN Ambassador Nikki Haley met with Kuwait’s Foreign Minister to discuss cooperation

“in particular defeating ISIS and finding peaceful solutions to Mid East conflicts.” East European: Poland a founding UN member assumes the seat currently held by Ukraine. Poland has served five times on the Council and brings a level of professionalism as an EU and

NATO member. The last time Poland was on the Council, 1997, the Warsaw government distinguished itself as a proud and articulate member of the newly freed Europe. Poland builds upon its past diplomacy and service to UN Peacekeeping where since 1953 the counSee Metzler on 33

Chomsky’s Venezuela Lesson Venezuela descends into chaos. Its people, once the wealthiest in Latin America, starve. Even The New York Times runs headlines like by John Stossell “Dying InSyndicated Columnist fants and No Medicine.” My Venezuelan-born friend Kenny says his relatives are speaking differently. Cousins who once answered “Fine” or “Good” when asked, “How are you?” now say, “We’re eating.” Eating is a big deal in the country that’s given birth to jokes about a “Venezuelan diet.” A survey by three universities found 75 percent of Venezuelans lost an average 19 pounds this year. So are American celebrities who championed Venezuela’s “people’s revolution” embarrassed? Will they admit they were wrong? “No,” says linguist and political writer Noam Chomsky. “I was right.” Sigh. Actor Sean Penn met with Hugo Chavez several times and claimed Chavez did “incredible things for the 80 percent of the people that are very poor.” Oliver Stone made a film that fawned over Chavez and Latin American socialism. Chavez joined Stone in Venice for the film’s premiere. Michael Moore praised Chavez for eliminating “75 percent of extreme poverty.”

Hello?! In Venezuela, Chavez and his successor, Nicolas Maduro, created extreme poverty. Chomsky, whose anti-capitalist teachings have inspired millions of American college students, praised Chavez’s “sharp poverty reduction, probably the greatest in the Americas.” Chavez returned the compliment by holding up Chomsky’s book during a speech at the U.N., making it a best-seller. Is Chomsky embarrassed by that today? “No,” he wrote me. He praised Chavez “in 2006. Here’s the situation as of two years later.” He linked to a 2008 article by a writer of Oliver Stone’s movie who said, “Venezuela has seen a remarkable reduction in poverty.” I asked him, “Should you now say to the students who’ve learned from you, ‘Socialism, in practice, often wrecks people’s lives’?” Chomsky replied, “I never described Chavez’s state capitalist government as ‘socialist’ or even hinted at such an absurdity. It was quite remote from socialism. Private capitalism remained ... Capitalists were free to undermine the economy in all sorts of ways, like massive export of capital.” What? Capitalists “undermine the economy” by fleeing? I showed Chomsky’s email to Marian Tupy, editor of HumanProgress.org. I like his response: “If lack of private capitalism — I assume he means total abolition of private enterprise and most private property — is his definition of socialism, then only North Korea and Kampuchea See stossell on 42

Chesterton ******** Where have all of her friends gone? Thanks to Newsmax for these quotes. “Embattled comedian Kathy Griffin says she’s not afraid of Donald Trump and plans to keep making fun of him but maintained that she’s sorry for a video that depicted her holding a likeness of the president’s severed, bloody head. “At a rambling press conference Friday, Griffin tearfully predicted her career is over and said Trump “broke me.” Since the video was posted Tuesday, she has lost her job co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special and had five comedy shows canceled. Trump, First Lady Malania Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have

publicly criticized the video. “Griffin, who asserted that she has been contacted by the Secret Service, said the Trumps are ‘trying to ruin her rights forever.’” I am ready to comment, as soon as I am though shaking my head, and wondering; do you progressives not understand what you as a group have done to destroy Americans and OUR country? How do you think those families who have lost loved ones due to beheading – Griffin, to quote NH Senator Jeanne Shaheen with that chalkboard sounding voice when she insults NH voters who differ with her: “you just don’t get it”. Griffin, you and the progressives truly believe we are beneath you! And what had President Trump said to Griffin’s claim that “you, you broke me”. And, where did this woman get the information that President Trump was trying to “ruin my rights for ever”? How does she make people laugh with the insanity she is spewing regarding what she thinks is happening around her? A couple of quotes from

Kurt Schlichter at TownHall.com know it’s theoretically wrong for a Republican candidate to smack around an annoying liberal journalist, but that still doesn’t mean that I care. Our ability to care is a finite resource, and, in the vast scheme of things, millions of us have chosen to devote exactly none of it toward caring enough to engage in fussy self-flagellation because of what happened to Slappy La Brokenshades. Sorry, not sorry. Lincoln mentioned “the better angels of our nature” – also at a time when Democrats were rejecting the rule of law in order to promote their subjugation of those they considered lesser beings – and the important thing to note is that “angels” is plural. You need two angels, not one angel and one demon. But that’s what we have, and if it doesn’t change we’ll have two demons, and everyone should care about that.

LACONIA motorcycle WEEK 2017 Wright Museum of World War II To Display World War II-Era Motorcycles During Motorcycle Week The Wright Museum of WWII in Wolfeboro, NH, will display three WW II-era Harley-Davidson motorcycles in its Military Gallery during Laconia Motorcycle Week, June 10-18. The Harley-Davidsons are Motorcycle U, Motorcycle UA, and Motorcycle WLA. Harley-Davidson manufactured the Motorcycle U for the U.S. Navy Shore Patrol from 1943 to 1948. The Motorcycle U to be displayed was restored to the way it would have looked during World War II, where it was probably used to patrol the grounds of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The Motorcycle UA, which was produced in 1940, is actually a Mo-

torcycle U. The “A” indicated it was manufactured for the U.S. Army. The Motorcycle WLA was a workhorse. The U.S. shipped large quantities of these motorcycles to their allies as part of the Lend-Lease Program. The largest quantity – over 30,000 – went to the Soviet Union. The U.S. Army used WLAs for police and escort work, courier duties, and some scouting. Harley-Davidson stopped manufacturing the WLAs after World War II, but resumed production from 1949 to 1952, during the Korean War. The WLA to be on display dates to 1940.

LACONIA - Doug and Misty Asermely of Sick Boy Motorcycles have joined forces with their favorite animal advocacy agency, New Hampshire Humane Society, for the 4th Annual Mae West Memorial Pet Run, this year held on Monday June 12th at the Laconia Motorcyle Week event. Registration opens at 8am at Rally Headquarters on the boardwalk of Lakeside Avenue; kickstands up at 10:30am for a scenic ride to NH Motor Speedway for a guided tour around the track. Participation is $25 per rider and $20 for passengers. Those who donate, regardless if they can join the ride, will receive a custom 2017 Sick Boy Motorcycle Pet Run Ride T-shirt.

2016 saw a record number of bikers join up to ride from Rally Headquarters down to the shelter and over to the Weirs. This year the ride takes you a little further afield, a drop in at the shelter to say hello to the animals, grab a complimentary coffee

and pastry, and then off to finish at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway for a guided ride around the track. Riders are invited to stop at the Katancha vendor lot for a chance at tons of door prizes, then continue on to the after See Mae West on 13

Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doug is a special chapâ&#x20AC;? says Marylee Gorham, NHHS Executive Director, and longtime rider herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I met him and toured him through the shelter, every dog stopped barking, sat down and gave him a look of curiosity, as if they all knew, he was a fellow with a very caring soul.â&#x20AC;? Join Doug and his lovely wife Misty, and Rally Directors, Charlie St. Clair and Jennifer Anderson, on this fun ride with a reason, homeless pets in the Lakes Region, through the local scenic roads of Meredith, Laconia and Loudon. The ride always benefits this animal shelter, where last year they found forever homes for 1,023 animals. Over the last three years, more than $22,000 has been raised from the Mae West Memorial Pet Run Ride, with more funds anticipated in 2017. For their donation, riders received a custom Sick Boy Motorcycle Pet Run t-shirt and will enjoy time spent with other animal advocates and bikers with compassion and heart. The work that Doug puts into this ride is exemplified by the riders, many of whom are his loyal customers, and from the big support the ride gets from sponsors, found at sickboy. com. Doug donates his

party at The Broken Spoke for a free lunch and more prizes. Proceeds of the ride benefit the NH Humane Society, a privately funded 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to provide shelter for the lost, abandoned and unwanted animals; find responsible and caring forever homes for them, and; advocate and be the voice for the voiceless. The Society works hard to prevent cruelty to animals and offers education and outreach programs, pet therapy, and many community programs and initiatives to help responsible pet owners and their animals. To view adoptable pets, learn about upcoming events, or make a donation please visit www. nhhumane.org . Doug Asermely got the idea for this ride back in 2013 after learning that Mae West, the beloved cat of Rally Executive Director Charlie St. Clair, had died while Charlie was away in Florida, at Daytona Bike Week. Mae West was special, spunky and full of life, and her memory lives on since bikers really do care about the welfare of homeless animals. Laconia Motorcycle Week is a great time to join others and participate in the Mae West Memorial Pet Run to benefit the NH Humane

“Laconia Motorcycle Week 1916” At Lake Winnipesaukee Museum On Wednesday, June 14th at 7pm K. Peddlar Bridges will be at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum to give a lecture on the history of Laconia Bike week.

Which lures work best for striped bass often varies based on geographic location. Stripers are migratory. As they migrate north each summer they have a variety of different food sources, but this variety changes along the way. This can alter the size, profile, and color of the most effective lures in each area. No matter where the stripers are along their range, they have three main prey types that they key in on. Small baitfish, medium to large baitfish, and eels. Here are three types of lures that closely imitate these prey items, and ones I never leave land without when pursuing striped bass. Shads Soft plastic paddletails, often referred to as swim shads, vary in size and mimic small to large baitfish, such as mackerel, alewives, or menhaden. A 6” swim shad is a staple in my striper tackle box. Paddletails are designed to not only mimic bait in size, color, or profile, but get their name from their large paddle-like tail designed to create thumping vibrations in the water. As much as a baitfish swimming through the water will entice feeding stripers, it’s the vibration created by the paddletail that calls them in and triggers strikes the best. You can cast and retrieve, or rip them through the water column and pause to let them sink briefly as if to imitate a wounded fish.

Soft Baits Stripers find eels irresistible. They find the erratic action of a soft plastic eelimitating bait even more irresistible. Soft baits, such as the original Hogy imitate eels, a favorite forage for striped bass. You can rig a Hogy weightless and twitch it in slow moving shallow water to entice cruising bass, or rig it on a jig head and fish it along the bottom in rocky areas where eels might be most likely to hide out. Slowly twitching a Hogy is a favorite of many kayak anglers due to the explosiveness of a big bass when it hits. See moore on 35

New Hampshire has had its schools identified by grade levels such as preschool (the school that is not a school?), kindergarten, elementary, middle, junior high, high, college, university and graduate, and those identified by type, such as private, community, parochial, public, or charter, but it has also maintained an industrial school. In their report issued in June of the year 1887 the trustees of the New Hampshire Industrial School wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Śthe trustees feel warranted in saying it is a model institution, a home for the homeless and friendless, a school for the ignorant, a restraint and guard for the erring, and a guide to a life of industry, usefulness, morality, and piety towards which and into which a large majority of the inmates are led.â&#x20AC;? The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;inmateâ&#x20AC;? reveals that the existence of this school was based on an additional need than the others. Moving a few years forward to 1906 a news column about goings on in the West Side of Manchester a headline to a story about a nine year old boy, Frank Clement, proclaimed that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153; BOUND TO BE IN TROUBLEâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153; Likely To Go To Industrial School.â&#x20AC;? The week previous to that springime news article young Frank had stood before a judge for truancy

The New Hampshire Industrial School. and his case had been continued for sentence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monday, Frank hiked from school, and got into mischief. Being desirous of making a tent in his back yard, he visited a clothesline on Green Street, and climbing under the fence, squirrel like, he took a couple of sheets off the line. One he tucked under his coat, and he was about to do so with the other when the woman of the house appeared. Young Clement got away with one sheet. The matter was reported to Policeman Bean and the boy was brought in Tuesday morning. He will probably be sent to the school.â&#x20AC;? The year I want to concentrate on, though, is the one ending on March 31, 1887. The superintendent, J.C. Ray, wrote a positive report about the school, indicating that it had been blessed in many ways. He noted that the inmates had enjoyed good health with none of them being hospitalized during the year for sickness and that the principal teacher had done a com-

mendable job in advancing the education of the boys and girls. Up to that year the â&#x20AC;&#x153;industrial trainingâ&#x20AC;? of the boys and girls had been limited to chairseating and farming, but See smith on 40

GRANITE STATE GOLF! A recent phone call from my arch-rival sports columnist Dave Long (Hippo Press) included an offer I couldn’t refuse—an opportunity to be a guest on his sports talk radio show and then play a round of golf at Moultonborough’s beautiful Ridgewood Country Club. Could life get much better for a sports columnist such as myself? Dave’s show is “Golf on the Radio” and it involves traveling around the state doing live remotes from golf courses, talking to locals, and examining each course’s unique characteristics. Last Saturday found Dave at Ridgewood where golf pro Mitch Jefferson supervises a great operation. The show’s raison d’etre is to promote all aspects of golf in New Hampshire—like the State Amateur Tournament, which in 2017 will be at Keene’s Bretwood Country Club from July 1015. That event arguably features the highest level of N.H. sports competition exclusively involving Granite Staters. Dave’s regular cohosts include Matt Schmidt, the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Golf Association and Scott Peters, the president and founder of Golf & Ski Warehouse. A Hanover native, Scott is a friend of Lebanon’s Richie Parker—a Plymouth State Hall-of-Famer who qualified for and played in the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah Country

Tiger Woods Club in Illinois. Richie is also a Facebook friend. Small world. The 2017 U.S. Open goes from June 15-18 at Wisconsin’s Erin Hills Country Club, and our radio sports talk focused on a golfer who WON’T be there—Tiger Woods, who’s been in the news due to a DUI arrest in Florida. It was only nine years ago that Woods—then 32—won an epic 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, in California. It was his 14th Major title, and it seemed like only a matter of time before he surpassed Jack Nicklaus’ total of 18 Major triumphs. But Woods hasn’t won a Major since and his personal travails have made as many headlines as have his exploits on the links. The golf gods can be fickle. “Golf on the Radio” has a “19th Hole” segment where Dave gets into discussions (or debates!) on non-golf subjects like the Red Sox or the NBA. We had an interesting discussion on what the Celtics might do with their #1 pick, and we looked back on all the former top picks who failed to live up to expectations. The great Michael Jordan was only a

#3 pick in 1984. (I’m sure the Portland Trail Blazers still regret taking Sam Bowie with that year’s #2 pick.) Sports fans can listen to “Golf on the Radio” on Saturday mornings from 9-11 a.m. on WFEA 1370 A.M. or 99.9 F.M. It can also be accessed via the NHGA web site. See moffett on 39

NH Heritage Trail Provides Unique Glimpse Into The Granite State Featuring 16 museums within a 100-mile radius between Portsmouth and Plymouth, New Hampshire, the NH Heritage Museum Trail takes visitors on a 350-year journey through the history of the Granite State. In total, The Trail includes more than 100,000 items in its member museums, although that is only part of what has made it so popular among visitors. “Our museums are developing family-friendly programming and events that engage people of all ages,” said Michael Culver, executive director of the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro. “The Trail is much more than a place to house artifacts.” The Museum of the White Mountains in Plymouth, for instance, often features award-winning

This handsome longhaired tabby came to NHHS after his owner passed away. It wasn’t long before we discovered he had a significant issue with his right eye – which galvanized our medical team to determine the best course of action was to remove it. Whitt has adjusted well to his somewhat pirate like way of looking at the world, he doesn’t have an eye patch, but would surely look just as handsome if he did. This one-eyed cat, who could certainly pass himself off as a Maine Coon look-alike, is calm, easygoing and so very sweet.

Aged about 12 years old, he is in all other respects a wonderful healthy boy, now just waits that comfortable retirement home with plenty of windows for bird watching and laps for snuggling! He is truly the kindest soul, and warms up to new people right away with lots of head scratches and some loving attention.

Rooster is a 9 year old male Domestic Longhair cat who is looking for his forever home. Rooster came to us through no fault of his own and he has been waiting over a month to ﬁnd his new family. He is a beautiful cat who loves the company of people. He previously lived with an elderly couple so he enjoys a quiet household without children. He currently shares a room with other cats so he could do well with another cat if they get along. He loves to be pet and enjoys cuddling up with our volunteers who know him well. If you’re looking for a handsome and aﬀectionate cat then Rooster is the pet for you! Stop into the shelter to learn more about him!

Diversify with Bonds (Even If Rates Are Low) If you’ve needed a mortgage or another type of loan over the past several years, you’ve probably appreciated the historically low interest rates we’ve experienced. But if you’ve wanted to own fixed-rate investments, such as bonds, you might have been less pleased at the low-rate environment. Now, interest rates may be moving up somewhat, but even if they don’t hit the heights we saw in previous decades, you can still gain some key advantages from owning bonds.

est rates you’re seeing on your bonds. This is especially true if market rates rise, causing the value of your bonds to fall. (Investors won’t pay you the full price – that is, the face value – of your bonds when they can buy new ones issued at higher rates. So, if rates have risen and you want to sell your bonds before they mature, you’d have to offer them at a discount.)

One way of coping with interest-rate movements is to build a “ladder” of bonds of varying maturities. When your short-term bonds mature, you can reinvest the proceeds in newly issued bonds that may offer higher rates, while your longer-term One of the biggest benefits provided by bonds is bonds continue to pay you greater income. (Gentheir ability to help you diversify a stock portfolio. erally – but not always – longer-term bonds carry Stocks and bonds often move in different direchigher interest rates than short-term bonds.) tions – in fact, the same economic or political Even within this type of bond ladder, though, forces that can be bad for stocks might be good for you will want to diversify your holdings among bonds, and vice versa. Consequently, if you own a reasonable percentage of bonds, you may not be as vulnerable to the impact of those inevitable downturns in the stock market. Keep in mind, though, that diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect you against losses. Of course, the other major attribute of bonds is the regular income they provide through interest payments. Unless the issuer defaults – an event that’s generally unlikely, assuming you purchase quality, “investment-grade” bonds – you can count on receiving the same payments for the life of your bond. Then, once your bond matures, you’ll get back the original principal, again assuming the issuer doesn’t default. The ability to receive regular payments may help improve your cash flow and possibly help you avoid selling stocks to meet unexpected costs, such as an expensive car repair. And holding your bond until maturity can help you plan to meet specific goals; for example, if your child will be starting college in five years, you can buy a bond scheduled to mature at the same time, providing you with an influx of cash you can use for tuition and other school expenses. Still, despite the benefits of diversification, steady income and the repayment of principal, you may find it hard to ignore the relatively low inter-

We live in a very special place here in the Lakes Region. It has so much to offer us in all four seasons. Lakes to boat on, mountains to hike, rivers to kayak in or swim in the18 miles of Atlantic shore line. We have so much in fact that we might loose sight of how other areas not too far away also feel about their attributes of the area and what they have to offer. Vermont is such a place. It has almost as many rival attractions as we do here, except for Mt Washington of course. And if we are talking beer, Vermont has a solid foothold in this regard. So today we will explore one of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not-so hidden secrets, 14th Star. Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and only veteran-owned craft brewery, 14th Star Brewing of St Albans believes in creating the finest beer they can while supporting and enriching their community. The breweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name comes from the fact that Vermont was the fourteenth state ratified to the union as our nation grew. They began in 2012 and sport a good size tap room where they serve flights or tastings of each of their beers, full pints, food and entertainment. Growlers and restaurant kegs are also for sale. Check out their story at www.Facebook. com/14thstarbrewing. With a deep, dark brown goodness which supports a large foamy mocha head, Maple leaves a fair

amount of lace around the edges of the glass as you down this tasty treat. Aroma of roasted coffee and toasted dark caramel sweetness, slight maple flavor, and a low bittering profile help to create the nuance this beer will deliver. It yields the lighter side of mouthfeel and reminds you of its cousins; brown and porter. Not abundantly sweet but just a nice layering of sweetness which may stem from the real Vermont maple syrup used in the brewing process. It is mild to the finish without a bittering afterburner like some stouts can bring. Of the three beers in 16oz cans on sale in NH from 14th Star, I prefer this Maple Stout. The

other two are Valor Hoppy Ale and Tribute Double IPA. And at 5.5% ABV, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cripple you like some big stouts out there. BeerAdvocate.com has officially rated Maple Stout as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and awards it an 84 out of 100. Other followers are rating it as high as 4.52 out of 5.0 giving kudos like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Awesomeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wonderful.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You can find the 14th State offerings at Casen-Keg in Meredith as well as other fine beer providers.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 8, 2017

Woody

Woodpecker by Steve White Contributing Writer

Over 22 varieties of woodpeckers are found within the borders of the Continental United States. Many are heard rather than seen. Among all avian species, the woodpecker stands alone. No one bird can compete with the evolution of adaptations that this breed of winged creatures has endured. Just imagine if a human had to chisel his food out of a block of wood with his nose? Only then can one truly appreciate the marvel of a woodpecker’s physical design. It has a hefty bill used for hacking into tree limbs, its skull is fortified to withstand the shock and its brain is cushioned by an unusual thick membrane. For tree climbing, most woodpecker species have two toes placed forward and two facing back, giving it the power it needs to climb trees in search of food. This unusual grip also provides strength during the excavation of holes in trees. Another measure of stability is added by the stiff tail that serves as a third leg for bracing. The woodpecker is thought to have a heightened sense of hearing that allows it to detect bugs burrowed underneath bark. And, it has an enhanced sense of touch in its tongue for feeling out insect borings. However, there are many disparaging things

written and spoken about this marvelous bird. Some have the mistaken idea woodpeckers harm trees by boring holes into them. The opposite it true. By eating bugs that destroy plants, they prolong a tree’s life. When building a nest, it carves out an opening to a preexisting hole it locates by tapping on the treed trunk. Typically, a dead tree will be chosen. If using a live tree, it’s one already hollowed out by decay. And, the abandoned nest left behind will be used by a variety of other birds and creatures for shelter and rearing their young. Some people laugh at the habit of a woodpecker pounding on a metal down spout as proof of the bird’s limited intelligence. Far from mistaking the gutters for a tree, it is using the loud noise produced to signal its territory and as a mating call. Woodpeckers are fond of suet, shell-less sunflower seeds, cracked walnuts, pecans and split peanuts. You can also attract these wild birds with specific sized nest boxes that should be bark covered and the bottom area lined with wood chips. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of WEZS 1350AM radio show “Bird Calls” with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM. Wild Bird Depot has donated over $5,000

to local rehabilitators and local nature centers since 1996. Be sure to check out our blog “Bird Droppings” via our website www.wildbirddepot.com. Like us on Facebook for great contests and prizes.

SPECIAL EXHIBIT ... Now Open! SATURDAY EVENING POST COVERS 1941-1946: The Art of Mead Schaeffer, Norman Rockwell and Friends May 1st - June 24th The Saturday Evening Post was one of the most influential magazines in the first part of the 20th century and had a circulation of four million by the end of the 1940s. The magazine not only reflected traditional American values, but shaped them as well, until the advent of television ended its lengthy reign. The Post’s formula for success was uncomplicated: a blend of business, social issues, sports, humor, cartoons, plenty of advertising, and, of course, illustrated covers. When people think of The Post’s covers, they automatically think of Norman Rockwell. But he was only one of many artists whose illustrations appeared on The Post’s covers. The Wright Museum’s opening exhibit for the

2017 season, Saturday Evening Post Covers 1941-1946: The Art of Norman Rockwell, Mead Schaeffer, and Friends honors those artists.

tially disappeared after the widespread adoption of self-service elevators? Or rekindle the glory days of motion-picture projectionists, who numbered more than 30,000 in 1940 and now, in the age of multiplexes, fewer than 5,000? This sort of occupational churn is inevitable when an economy is becoming more productive, and indeed, the average American worker -equipped with once-unimaginable technological tools -- now produces in an hour what his predecessor 100 years ago produced in a day. The key finding in the Atkinson and Wu study is that, despite the alarm

about automation, the American labor market in recent decades has had its lowest rate of occupational churn since 1850. Instead of being overrun by robots, the American economy is lagging in terms of a technological change. Tellingly, productivity growth has increased at just a 1.2 percent annual rate from 2008 to 2015, a sharp drop from the 2.8 percent annual rate from 1947 to 1973. Atkinson and Wu believe that another wave of technology is coming, but perhaps not for decades. We can argue about the best ways to train higher-skilled workers

or to cushion the blow to workers of economic change, but technophobia is a formula for stagnation. If we survived the advent of cars, the telephone and electric lighting -- truly revolutionary changes around the turn of the 20th century -- surely we can endure whatever the transformative innovations that will, once again, make our economy and workers more productive than ever. Don’t fear the robot. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

try contributed 70,000 troops to thirty different missions. Latin America/Caribbean: Peru assumes the helm for Latin America. Another founding state of the UN in 1945, Peru has served four terms on the Council as recently as a decade ago. Peru replaces Uruguay, whose twoyear tenure was marked by a level of quiet and dedicated professionalism. West Europe: Last year, given a deadlock in a vote between both Italy and the Netherlands, in which neither could gain the required two-thirds majority, both EU members decided on an elegant solution; split the term. Italy got 2017 and now the Netherlands shall preside over 2018. Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders asserted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Netherlands will be a proactive partner.â&#x20AC;? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the overall Council dynamics and what the new members mean for U.S. policy. Over the past five years the Security Council has been locked in an East/ West standoff regarding Syria and Russian actions in Ukraine. Polarization among the vetowielding Permanent Five rests along the U.S./UK/ France vs Russia/China fault-line. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the

ď &#x2039;ď &#x2030;ď &#x201C;ď &#x2020;ď &#x201C;ď&#x20AC;Ą ď ?ď &#x2020;

new members will likely stand: Cote dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire, like Senegal, will tilt towards France and often the USA. Equatorial Guinea, given its human rights record, will fit in comfortably with the Moscow/Beijing axis. Kuwait will favor the U.S. on some issues especially in the wake of the Trump Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reinvigorated foreign and security policies toward Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf. Still, it will be hard to replace Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focused and cooperative policies which have been of particular help in the ongoing North Korean crisis. Peru, a free and largely democratic country, should largely be in concert with Washington. Poland, as a European Union and NATO member will be a reliable and good U.S. ally. The Netherlands, as with Italy before, clearly reflects Western values. Overall slight advantage to the U.S. when the new members take their seats in January 2018. John J.

Vertical Jigs Vertical jigs, like most lures, vary in size, color, and profile. The name vertical jig often leaves many anglers fishing them straight up and down, but these lures are deadly when casted and retrieved. Daddy Mac Lures makes one of the most comprehensive lines of metal vertical jigs on the market. The wide range of sizes and profiles allows you to tailor your lure to what the fish are eating, or match the hatch. While vertical jigs are very effective when fished below your kayak or boat, they really shine when casted out, allowed to sink to the bottom, and then retrieved back. Vertical jigs are my

first choice when stripers are holding on deeper structure in fast moving currents. There are many lures on the market that work well for striped bass. The ultimate choice of which lure we use often boils down to our confidence in a specific lure. We use the lures we believe work best and we use our favorites most often, sometimes to a fault. If space is limited, such as it is in a kayak, it becomes important to narrow down the options. Regardless of where you fish for stripers, walk into any tackle shop and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see these three types of lures on the shelves. Partially because they sell, but mostly because they work.

and entering, and 24 for stubbornness, idleness, and disobedience. Other offences were truancy, assault, lewdness, putting obstructions on railroad, malicious mischief, incendiarism, drunkenness, and obtaining goods under false premises. The ages of the children in the school ranged from 7 (1 inmate) to 17 (2 inmates) with the age of 14 having the highest number at 28 . The terms of commitment varied from one year to eight years, with three being held at the school until they reached the age of eighteen. The 1887 report of the N.H. Industrial School revealed that the farm and the new hosiery mill were important parts of the industry portion of the establishment and detailed accounts of the property and financial status of the farm and school were provided. Nine counties, many cities and towns, and the United States government contributed money towards the cost of board for the inmates, and the state paid its appropriation of $1,500 each quarter. Income for the school also included that from sales of farm products and the chair-

work and hosiery mill, as well as from legacies. It would appear that the onsite care of the school was somewhat of a family affair with the superintendent and treasurer being John C. Ray, the matron being Mrs. John C. Ray, and the teaching staff consisting of Miss B.F. Scoville, Miss Alice Scoville, and Miss Mary E. Ray. Mr. Ray’s report said “ The boys and girls have been obedient and industrious, generally satisfied with their home here, as is evinced by the few attempts to escape. The statistical table indicated that two had escaped. The farm required a farmer, who was paid $450.00 for the year, and some assistant farmers, but it obviously supplied meat and vegetables for the school and some cash income from the sale of the farm products. It produced 110 tons of hay, 65 tons of corn fodder, 700 bushels of potatoes, 90 bushels of onions, 769 bushels of ears of corn, 450 bushels of carrots, with many bushels of other vegetables, and 3000 heads of cabbage. An inventory showed 29 cattle, including cows, bulls, heifers, and calves,

23 swine, 4 horses, and 2 yokes of oxen. The detailed list of purchases of items needed by the school for all areas of its operation include some interesting items. On July first a lot of fireworks, box crackers, balls and bats were bought for $7.85. Oysters and halibut appeared to be popular seafood purchases with 2 and11/2 gallons of oysters and 9 and ½ lbs. of crackers purchased on March 30th and 10 and ½ lbs. of halibut and 2 and ½ gallons of oysters and 9 lbs. of crackers on April 23rd. That music and recreation were provided for the boys and girls is evident by the statements that 3and ½ dozen harmonicas were bought on April 7th and nine pairs of skates on Dec. 22nd. On Nov. 24th 150 lbs. of turkey and 71 lbs. of chicken were purchased at a cost of $47.74 and 84 gallons of cider were acquired on October 27th. The Manchester Horse Railroad was paid $264.02 for the manure of sixty horses for nine months and James H. Hunt received $20 for arresting John Powers on July 27th. Religious services at the school, which involved the participation of clergymen from different religious groups, were under the leadership of the Women’s Christian Temperance Group. Newspapers were available to the “inmates” from a number of localities so the young people could be aware of events taking place in their home towns. Some of the papers included were as follows: “Dover Inquirer”, “Cheshire Republican”, “ New Hampshire People and Patriot”, “Portsmouth Journal”, “Morning Star”, “Our Dumb Animals”, and “Plymouth Record”. So we have just a glimpse through reports and statistics of goings on at the New Hampshire Industrial School onehundred and thirty years ago. Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. lives in New Hampton.

results, but she could not directly prescribe it because of her hospital affiliation. So we did our own independent research, talked to a Colorado Springs family whose son had great success using CBD to treat his Crohn’s disease symptoms, consulted with other medical professionals and friends -- and entered a whole new world. Two physicians signed off on our daughter’s application for a medical marijuana card. She became one of more than 360 children under 18 to join Colorado’s medical marijuana registry in 2015. And we became pediatric pot parents. For Veronica, CBD provided more relief than all the other mainstream pharmaceutical interventions she had endured, and without the scary side effects. But ultimately, it was a temporary remedy for her complicated basket of neurological and physiological conditions. We were glad for the chance to try CBD at the recommendation

of medical professionals, and glad that so many other families are having success with it. Our experience showed us the importance of increasing therapeutic choices in the marketplace for all families -and trusting doctors and patients to figure out what works best. It flies in the face of current science to classify CBD oil as a Schedule I drug, as the feds did at the end of 2016. Nor does it make sense to draw the line at CBD if some patients and doctors believe that the benefits of using THC therapeutically outweigh the potential harm. As a lifelong social conservative, my views on marijuana policy may surprise some of you. I used to be a tablepounding crusader for the government’s war on drugs. When I worked in Seattle in the 1990s, I initially opposed efforts to legalize medical marijuana. I also opposed efforts to loosen restrictions on conducting studies on the potential therapeutic effects of using marijuana. But the war on drugs

June 11th

has been a ghastly quagmire -- an expensive and selective form of government paternalism that has done far more harm than good. What has this trillion-dollar war wrought? Overcrowded jails teeming with nonviolent drug offenders. An expanded police state enriched by civil asset forfeiture. And marginalization of medical researchers pursuing legitimate research on marijuana’s possible therapeutic benefits for patients with a wide variety of illnesses. The Trump administration has sent mixed signals on a medical marijuana crackdown. So let me be clear as a liberty-loving, conservative mom: Keep your

hands off. Let the scientists lead. Limited government is the best medicine. Michelle Malkin is host of “Michelle Malkin Investigates” on CRTV. com. Her email address is writemalkin@gmail.com.

From Waterford, Ireland To Gilford, NH — The Knotted Chords Perform June 18th At Patrick’s Pub —

The Knotted Chords are an Irish folk acoustic duo, consisting of sisters Margaret and Ailíse O’Neill from Co. Waterford, Ireland. The sisters were discovered at a pub in Waterford, Ireland by the Patrick’s/Penny Pitou Ireland contingent last March and were invited to visit and play at Patrick’s during a scheduled trip to the states. Margaret has been singing and playing from an early age and her interest in energetic, high spirited songs comes out in her lively performances. Margaret learned a lot of her bodhran and guitar skills from regularly attending traditional sessions with her Dad. She is currently working on her own original material and will often perform original songs in the band.

Ailíse picked up her banjo & mandolin skills from her father, teaching her tunes passed on from his father. She will often fuse traditional Irish tunes into current pop songs to create a unique take on a song while also honouring the traditions of Irish music. Together the sisters perform an interesting mix of covers and originals ranging from traditional Irish to pop, folk and some old classics. They will be appearing at Patrick’s in Gilford for a special performance on Sunday, June 18th at 6pm. For more information, visit www.face-
