Evita at Summer Theatre
Amy Goes Hiking At Maine Mountains In Baxter State Park
by Amy Patenaude Outdoor/Ski Columnist
I had satisfying and delicious meatloaf in their Loose Moose Bar & Grill and I wondered what Bryan and Zachary were having for supper. They were already camp‑ ing in the park and they would be for the week, but I decided I’d spend a
night in a nice bed and just one night sharing their campsite. Laurie owns the Big Moose. I‑‑t has been in her family more than 40 years. Laurie was al‑ ready up when I walked into the breakfast room See PATENAUDE on 36

Baxter State Park is way up there. I made it to the Big Moose Inn & Cabins in Millinock‑ et from Franconia in about five hours. After I c h e c ke d in, I drove
a couple miles to find a big view across Mil‑ linocket Lake of Mount Kathadin and Baxter State Park’s many other mountains. The sight across the Lake filled me with excitement and anticipation for the day ahead.
T
Weirs Times’ Outdoor Columnist Amy Patenaude “Wow-ed” on Doubletop Mountain, elevation 3489 feet. Doubletop’s summit ridge is 2/10th of a mile long and the south end is extremely open and exposed. The panorama was truly grand filled with Baxter State Park’s mountains and the distant blue waters of Millinocket Lake.

To The Editor: How many people are paying attention to the 2018 elections? This No‑ vember could be a turn‑ ing point for our State, Nation, and planet, so voters better get involved! We need to elect new State Representatives who work for our com‑ munities and our rights! Over 100 Legislators vot‑ ed this spring for CACR 19, the Community Rights Amendment, to give our towns the right to pass ordinances that protect our citizens and environment from un‑ wanted, dangerous, and destructive development. Unfortunately many more opposed CACR 19 in order to protect greeddriven special interests that hurt our towns. There will be Congres‑ sional elections as well as an election for Gov‑ ernor, and you know that corporate PACs (po‑ litical action committees) will bribe our candidates with legal (but immoral) campaign contributions. If they take pac bribes, then we should vote them out! We have the best politicians money can buy, but We the People can change that! All politics are local, so we need to get orga‑ nized town by town and in our cities. You may contact the NH Com‑ munity Rights Network (nhcommunityrights.org) to get assistance with local efforts that protect the health, safety, and
Our Story
welfare of people and nature. Please do your civic duty and support candi‑ dates who put our towns and cities and Nation ahead of greedy special interests; do it for our Country, do if for our children, do it for Mother Nature and planet Earth! Peter A. White Nottingham, NH.
Upset With Advertisment To The Editor: It’s unfortunate that a newspaper with so much solid, entertaining and helpful information would allow one of its advertisers to alienate a significant portion of the paper’s audience and maybe even some of its advertisers. I refer to an ad on page 17 of the June 14 edition in which the pastor of a Baptist church attacks Catholic devotion to the mother of Jesus, asking “Pray to Mary?” The wording of the ad goes on to ridicule Catholic beliefs, citing what he thinks is con‑ trary Scriptural verses and claiming the prayer, the “Hail Mary,” is not in the Bible. Actually the first half of the prayer is, word for word, from Luke’s Gospel; and the second half is an added doxology in the same manner non-Catholic de‑ nominations have added an extra-Scriptural one to the end of the Lord’s Prayer.
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
But the overall impli‑ cation is that Catholics worship Mary. In fact, they do not. They wor‑ ship God alone but honor saints who, by their man‑ ner of piety and thor‑ oughly examined and documented instances of Divinely miraculous intervention in their life or through their interces‑ sion, are held worthy of imitation and honor. There is a difference be‑ tween giving worship and giving honor. For exam‑ ple, Jesus honored Mary as the Commandment to honor a parent required; but He certainly did not worship her. So, by hon‑ oring Mary, Catholics are only imitating Christ which isn’t a bad thing at all. On the Cross, Jesus prayed “That they all will be one as you, Father, and I are one.” We Chris‑ tians need to respect and love one another rather than attack each other, especially in the pages of this newspaper.

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
This column is brought to you by stress…the makers of high blood pressure, sleepless nights and other fine products of the twentyfirst century. I often use stress when things are going perfectly in my life and I need a bit of relief. I decided to use some stress this week when my computer at work, the one with all the in‑ formation I need to do my job correctly, decided it had had enough and an‑ nounced its retirement. To spend the rest of its days with other old hard drives enjoying the sun‑ shine along the shores of some electronic landfill somewhere. Hard drives don’t give two weeks notice, they just take a deep sigh, put their thumb to their nose, wriggle them a bit at you and tell you “I’m outta here.” They won’t often do this on a slow week, after all where is the fun in that. They like to wait for when it is most inconvenient, like, in this case, just as production starts on the Fourth Of July issue of this paper; one of the biggest of the year. In all fairness, my drives were pretty old, or at least that’s what the computer doctor said. They were still giving it their all until one fate‑ ful morning when one of them, the leader I think, said enough is enough. The only clear solu‑
tion to all of this was to adopt a new drive, one that could do the work of all my many older drives and then some. I don’t know enough about how a computer really works or what half the things in them or on them are called, so I won’t pretend I do. For the sake of the layper‑ son, the majority of us over the age of thirty-five, I will refer to certain things on the computer as the “thingamajig” and the “whatchamacallit” so that you will understand exactly what I am talking about. Once the computer doc‑ tor had delivered our new super drive (or thing‑ amajig) I brought it back to the office, excited to know that it would just be a short period of time until things were back to normal. First, the programs I needed to get the work done, needed to be in‑ stalled on the new com‑ puter. Then, being a business computer, it needed to have things done like connecting to a network and being able to share stuff. Back in the 1970s this would have mean t w a tch in g TV with the family with a bowl of popcorn, but times have changed. Things didn’t go exactly as planned, despite the computer savvy of my colleague in the office, so the doctor needed to make a house call. Using words that sounded to me like a language from a distant galaxy far, far away and moving his fingers at lighting speed across the keyboard, I nodded my head, pretending to understand exactly what was being explained to me as the reason for the issues. I didn’t dare ask a question, the answer I knew I would never com‑ prehend. All I wanted
was, as I screamed si‑ lently, to “get the darn thing working.” (I didn’t really say “darn.”) Eventually it did, and all would now be right in this part of my world. Finally, being able to now attempt some work as there was catching up to do, I sat down to the task only to find that the new, up to date, even easier to use, versions of programs I had gotten used to over the past few years, were not what I was used to any longer. The thingamajig that used to make the what‑ chamcalit spin the roun‑ dy thing and the arrow thing that used to make the balloon thing open up were now in different places as well as other complications. It would all take some getting used to, not that there was a lot of time for all that. (I won’t even get into getting the mouse, once my old friend, to act correctly once again.) One good thing is that my new computer is re‑ ally fast and things that used to take a few sec‑ onds now take a few less seconds. If you are holding a copy of this issue and reading this column, you know that things eventu‑ ally sorted out and are back on track. I should be able to master all of the things I need to do with it by the time a new computer is required. As far as stress, that has slowly subsided and I feel better. Of course, there is al‑ ways tomorrow. Brendan is the author of “The Flatlander Chronicles” and “The Best Of A F.O.O.L. In New Hampshire” which are available on his website BrendanTSmith.com

Weapons of Mass Manipulation Confirma‑ tion bias d a m a g e s reputations. It ruins cred‑ ibility. It de‑ stroys lives. When re‑ searchers ig‑ nore contra‑ by Michelle Malkin dictory data Syndicated Columnist that under‑ mines their assumptions, junk science pre‑ vails. When police conduct in‑ vestigations with predetermined outcomes, wrongful convictions abound. And when reporters cherry-pick facts and distort images to serve political agen‑ das, media outlets become dangerous weapons of mass manipulation. Take Talia Lavin, a young journalist who has enjoyed a meteoric rise. Her pedigree ap‑ pears impeccable on its face: She graduated with a degree in comparative literature from Harvard University six years ago. After graduation, she won a Fulbright Scholar fellowship to study in Ukraine. She “worked in all realms” of the Jewish Tele‑ graphic Agency news agency and wire service, copy-edited for the feminist Lilith Magazine, and contributed stories and translations for the Huffington Post. Lavin has held the coveted position of “fact-checker” for the revered New Yorker for the past three years. The publication brags that its “fact-checking department is known for its high standards.” It demands the ability “to quickly analyze a manuscript for factual errors, logical flaws, and significant omissions.” The editorial de‑ partment requires “a strong un‑
derstanding of ethical reporting standards and practices” and prefers “proficiency or fluency in a second language.” Impressively, Lavin speaks four languages (Russian, He‑ brew, Ukrainian and English). Her abdication of ethical report‑ ing standards, however, raises fundamental questions not only about her competence, but also about her integrity -- not to mention the New Yorker’s jour‑ nalistic judgment. With a single tweet, the New Yorker’s professional factchecker smeared Justin Gaert‑ ner, a combat-wounded war veteran and computer forensic analyst for the U.S. Immigra‑ tion and Customs Enforcement agency. Lavin, the professional factchecker, rushed to judgment. She abused her platform. Amid the national media hysteria over President Donald Trump’s border enforcement policies, Lavin derided a photo of Gaert‑ ner shared by ICE, which had spotlighted his work rescuing abused children. Scrutinizing his tattoos, she claimed an im‑ age on his left elbow was an Iron Cross -- a symbol of valor com‑ monly and erroneously linked to Nazis. The meme spread like social media tuberculosis: Look! The jackboots at ICE who hate chil‑ dren and families employ a reallife white supremacist. Only it wasn’t an Iron Cross. It was a Maltese Cross, the symbol of double amputee Gaertner’s platoon in Afghanistan, Titan 2. He lost both legs during an IED-clearing mission and earned the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Combat Valor and the Purple

The Banality of Bias P e t e r Strzok is an FBI agent with a ca‑ reer span‑ ning more than two decades. He was section chief of the counteres‑ pionage sec‑ by Ben Shapiro Synidcated Columnist tion in 2016 and thus in a position to oversee both the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Rus‑ sian election interference inves‑ tigation. And he was supposedly perfect for the job: a Georgetown University graduate with a mas‑ ter’s degree, married to a Securi‑ ties and Exchange Commission official. Strzok was qualified and patriotic. He was a lifelong civil servant. He was also a heavily biased, blatantly political bureaucrat. Strzok, it turns out, was cheat‑ ing on his wife with then-fellow FBI agent Lisa Page. Page and Strzok traded thousands of texts -- so
many that one is tempted to ask when they ever found time for their affair. The texts were extraordi‑ narily political. Strzok hated Presi‑ dent Trump and loved Clinton; his paramour felt the same. After the 2016 election, Strzok wrote, “Omg I am so depressed.” Among those texts, a few stood out. First, one from Strzok to Page suggested that the Russia investigation could serve as an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency. Sec‑ ond, in a text from Page to Strzok, she questions whether Trump would actually be president, and a response from Strzok reads, “We’ll stop it.” Third, a text from Strzok to Page after the election cycle and upon his involvement in the Rob‑ ert Mueller probe reads, “For me, and this case, I personally have a sense of unfinished business.” All of these texts -- and Strzok’s conduct during the election cycle -- led the Department of Justice inspector general to conclude that he couldn’t exonerate Strzok from the charge of bias in his investi‑ gation. The IG report stated that

World Cup Football and Politics HAMBURG— W i t n e s s ‑ ing the early stages of the World Cup Football ex‑ travaganza of‑ fers an amaz‑ ing sporting by John J. Metzler e x p e r i e n c e . Syndicated Columnist Indeed the enthusiasm is palpable and contagious as the early matches kicked off in a near carnival atmosphere. For a full month, soccer games across Russia will lead to the coveted World Cup to be de‑ cided in Moscow on July 15th. As the German business daily Handelsblatt headlined, Foot‑ ball: Money and Games. I would add politics too. Given that Russia is hosting these global games, there’s naturally a po‑ litical context, as there cer‑ tainly was with the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014. The FIFA World Cup, held every four years, is a bit like the Olympics of football or soc‑ cer if you prefer; it encourages nationalism, camaraderie, and generally good cheer in a series of matches between teams as geographically diverse as Ger‑ many/Mexico, Costa Rica/Ser‑ bia, South Korea/Sweden and Russia/Egypt. The tournament started with
32 teams divided into eight groups. For this World Cup such no‑ table contenders did not even qualify for play; Italy, Neth‑ erlands, and the USA are not on the pitch this time round. Other qualifiers such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iceland are not part of the long football tradi‑ tion. And then there are the perennial heavyweights, Argen‑ tina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Uruguay. Russia, the host, has played surprisingly well early in the series. Pundits aside, most of the early matches were not as pre‑ dictable as planned. Germany’s initial match against Mexico, headlined as “High Noon in Moscow” ended in a humiliating loss to Mexico 1-0, jolting the reigning World Cup champion. As the tournament reaches quarter finals, the levity and good nature of the earlier con‑ tests recedes into a more dour do or die atmosphere to edge your team and country into the next coveted round. Upsets abound amid the ballet of in‑ tricate footwork and strategy which characterize “the beauti‑ ful Game.” National flags hang from apartment windows, illustrat‑ ing the multinational nature of
this prosperous seaport city. Flags draped on car hoods or sprouting from car windows. Postgame car honking and driv‑ ing round with national colors. Even marzipan candy makers have football themes!
An early match between Por‑ tugal and Spain saw a whole neighborhood draped in Portu‑ guese flags and wildly cheering fans even as the contest ended in a draw.

A Little Child Shall (Mis)lead Them To be fair, it’s not the children who are do‑ ing the mis‑ leading. It’s the adults who are us‑ ing them as by Ken Gorrell props. Chil‑ Northfield, NH. dren are be‑ ing used as tools to game (and beat) our im‑ migration laws and to advance a pro-illegal alien political posi‑ tion. It’s a disgusting spectacle, brought to you by Democrats and their media overlords. If that sounds harsh, stop reading now; it’s going to get rougher from here. What we’ve witnessed over the past few weeks, from the national border to the halls of power, has been the opening of a new front in the un-Civil War raging since the election of Donald Trump. Today it’s nearly impossible to have a civil conversation on any topic of importance. The Left has corrupted our language, worked hard to make some subjects radioactive, and made onceunthinkable comparisons the norm so that we end up either speaking in euphemisms or risk our friendships and livelihoods when speaking our minds. It’s the stuff of totalitarian states, which is the direction Democrat partisans have been pushing us for decades. They are a cancer in the body politic. When “illegal alien” morphed into “undocumented migrant,” the Left won a key victory. When enforcement of eminently-rea‑ sonable US laws governing im‑ migration is compared to the Holocaust and the depravity of German Nazis, the Left wins. When threats or acts of violence
succeed in cowing citizens from expressing non-Leftist-approved opinions, the Left wins. The common theme: The Left wins by denigrating our nation, en‑ couraging lawlessness, and menacing law-abiding people who disagree with them. That’s their playbook, and God help us if we ever again give Democrats a majority. Boston Celtics-great Kevin McHale learned this lesson last week. McHale attended a Trump rally in Duluth – not as a speaker or even on stage – but some freakish fanatic found his face in the crowd and “outed” him on social media. Outrage and threats followed. His wife was harassed. People called for his dismissal as an NBA an‑ nouncer. (At least no one has called for his removal from the NBA Hall of Fame – yet.) All because he attended an event featuring the President of the United States. For the Left, no behavior is out of bounds. A washed-up actor targets the First Family’s 12-year-old son with this gem: “We should rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles.” After 78 years on this planet, you’d think a man would know better. Well, a man would; I can’t identify the creature Peter Fonda has become, but for him there is a special place in Hell. Fonda vents mindless rage on an adolescent simply because he objects to his father’s “zero tolerance” policy protecting our borders. “Zero tolerance” = “100% en‑ forcement” (and it’s another semantic victory by the Left to make “100% enforcement” ap‑ pear to be what’s wrong here).

Remember Our Veterans On Independence Day! “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” – President John F. Kennedy The Fourth of July commemorates the adop‑ tion of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring that the thirteen American colonies were a new na‑ tion, the United States of America. Many Americans, as part of the celebration of our country’s birth, also take the time to honor and appreciate those who have fought for the free‑ doms we hold dear. They recognize that Freedom Isn’t Free. Military ser‑ vice requires sacrifices of many kinds, and com‑ memorative days such as the Fourth provide opportunities to reflect on those sacrifices with gratitude and to dem‑ onstrate remembrance and support for those who have served. Our small state of NH has over 115,000 veterans, not including those who are currently serving or their families. We thank those who have and are serving for preserving the liberties that were won for us 240 years ago. For some veterans, these celebratory days can be difficult, with the inescapable (and often unpredictable) booms, cracks and hisses. And it can be difficult for some veterans’ families when their loved ones cannot or will not participate in the American traditions aimed to celebrate the very freedoms for which the veteran fought. Fire‑ works can be especially tough for combat veter‑ ans because of the un‑ expected timing of them and their reminiscence
of enemy fire. For some combat veterans, even the town display can be intolerable. The whistles, cracklings, sparks in the sky, and chest pound‑ ing booms can cause very specific reactions to some very specific memo‑ ries. Understanding and encouraging veterans to take good care of them‑ selves during this time is helpful, even if it means they do not join in the “fun.” Here are a couple sug‑ gestions for making these celebrations easier on those who find this holiday hard: fireworks can be easier to handle if they are predictable and visible. The town fire‑ works display has a clear beginning and an end. • Keep the at-home fire‑ works to a minimum. Your town probably spends a lot of money each year on a wonderful display, enjoy it! • If you do light fire‑ works at home or in your neighborhood: try to light them only within the July 3rd to July 5th window, alert your neighbors to let them know what time you will be setting them off and what time they will end, and stop the fireworks by 2 hours past dusk. Get out there and cel‑ ebrate our independence! Do so proudly, but re‑ spectfully to those veter‑ ans around you. Easterseals NH Mili‑ tary & Veterans Services (MVS) offers Care Coordi‑ nation to veterans of all eras – from World War
II veterans to those who are currently serving. Services are free, con‑ fidential, and provided locally – in the veteran’s home or other convenient location. Care Coordi‑ nators are community caseworkers with exten‑ sive training in military culture. Their job is to do whatever it takes to help service members, veterans, and their fami‑ lies thrive. Care Coor‑ dinators help those in crisis situations, and are also available to help families plan ahead and avoid problems when facing life changes and challenges. If you know a service member, vet‑ eran, or military family in need, please contact the Program Coordinator, Easterseals NH Military & Veterans Services, at 603.315.4354. Veterans Count, the philanthropic program of ESNH MVS, provides emergency financial as‑ sistance to veterans for critical and unmet needs. Veterans Count raises awareness about the challenges that can result from military ser‑ vice and raises money to help address these needs.

For many years it was the little engine that did what the big guys could not do, as it was the first locomotive to pow‑ er passenger cars up Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The rails of conven‑ tional train tracks would not suffice to conquer the steep grades need‑ ed to bring to fruition the dreams of those who wished to see a train climbing up the mountain,so engineer Sylvester Marsh de‑ signed the system which is referred to as the Cog Railroad and enabled the dreams to become reality. The first locomotive, also specially designed to make the trip up and down the slopes of the famous mountain, was first named Hero,then changed to Peppersass when someone comment‑ ed that it looked like a pepper sauce bottle with its upright boiler which was slanted to keep it vertical as the locomo‑ tive made the trip up the mountain. Old Peppersass was retired in 1893 to make room for newer engines; however, sixty years af‑ ter it first started serving visitors to the mountain in 1869, a big celebration took place to rededicate the old engine with many very important persons attending. The event took place on July 20, 1929 and included putting Old

“Old Peppersass” climbing Mount Washington. Peppersass back on the tracks for one more trip up the mountain, though the intention was for the locomotive of honor was to go no more than 3,000 feet up the moun‑ tain while the guests at the event , in six cars pulled with other engines would precede Pepper‑ sass and meet within a few hundred feet of the mountain’s 6,237 foot summit. Peppersass had just been returned to New Hampshire by the Balti‑ more and Ohio Railroad who had it in their pos‑ session for a number of years and were return‑ ing it to the Boston and Maine Railroad which at that time owned the cog railway and, along with the State of New Hamp‑ shire, were sponsoring the celebration of its re‑ turn. More than a thousand people had gathered at the base of Mount Wash‑ ington for the celebration of the gaily decorated forerunner of Cog Rail‑ road locomotives,and lis‑ tened to several speakers before the passengers in the six cars headed for
the mountain top with no thought of the tragedy that would soon occur. The speakers included New Hampshire Gover‑ nor Tobey, Senator Mo‑ ses, and President Han‑ nauer of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Those in the train cars included a number of Governors who had been attending a Governor’s conference in Connecti‑ See SMITH on 43

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer
Being healthy, doesn’t just mean how your body feels physically, but in‑ volves your mental state, as well. You are a physi‑ cal and mental being and these two parts of you, are completely linked and dependent on each other. For example, if you are stressed for prolonged periods, it can begin to damage your physical well being. Conversely, if you have a severe downturn in your body’s health or suf‑ fer from long term pain, it can begin to take a toll on your mental health. The problem is that it is much easier to attack physical issues to find a fix. Chiro‑ practic, physical therapy, medicine, massage, acu‑ puncture, or exercise all have useful applications in caring for your body. These modalities are generally, easy to access and easy to use. When, it comes for mental health, stuff gets a little trickier. Many people are overly stressed or depressed, and while counseling and mental health services exist, many people fail to utilize them. Or in some cases, folks don’t realize that their mental health is even suffering, where as a low back that is in pain is pretty recognizable. Overall, people tend to be pretty proactive when it comes to physical pain, but often live with stress, depression, or some other mental health issues. We will stretch or change our diets, to feel better physi‑ cally, but often the prob‑ lem is we don’t even know where to start to support our mental well being. So with that being the case, here, at least, is a starting point:
1.Get a hobby: I know this may sound frivolous to a busy person, but seriously, get a hobby. People who practice hob‑ bies, have been found to have less stress and more happiness. Hobbies, have also been shown to provide purpose. Hav‑ ing purpose can be a key ingredient in combating depression. Hobbies also foster social relationships, which also helps improve mental health. 2.Get your sleep on: a study from University of Pennsylvania found that the people who were limited to 4.5 hours of sleep per night for a week reported feeling increased stress, anger, sadness, and mental exhaustion. 3.Exercise: is there anything exercise doesn’t improve? Well, add mood, anxiety and depression to the list. A 1998 study in the Journal of Sports and Exercise Psychology found that even just 20 minutes of exercise three times per week, could im‑ prove mood symptoms.
4.Eat a healthy diet: eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and veg‑ etables is always a good choice, but when it comes to mental health, per web‑ MD: "A very large body of evidence now exists that suggests diet is as impor‑ tant to mental health as it is to physical health," says Felice Jacka, presi‑ dent of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research. "A healthy diet is protective and an unhealthy diet is a risk factor for depression and anxiety.” 5. Talk to somebody: I can’t stress this enough, don’t hide from any con‑ cerns about your mental health, whether you are overly stressed, dealing with depression, or any‑ thing else. Don’t bury it. Talk to a friend, a family member, or your health‑ care provider. Get in touch with a counselor
and make an appoint‑ ment. The bottom line is, you must take care of your mental health. Stressed? Depressed? Anxious? Do not ignore it! Talk to someone. Do not accept it as your “normal stress”. On a daily basis, recog‑ nize that by taking care of your physical body, it can improve your mental health. There is no cure all, but being your best and taking care of your‑ self, gives you the best chance at being the best, happiest, healthiest ver‑ sion of yourself.

Want to Quit Smoking? How to Find Help (StatePoint) Quitting smoking is almost never simple or easy, but ac‑ cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre‑ vention, it’s one of the most important steps you can take for your health. Luck‑ ily, there are several ways to get assistance to quit smoking. Nearly 70 percent of smokers want to quit and more than half will try this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you’re a smoker who’s ready to quit, you can increase your chances of success by talk‑ ing to your doctor about it, as well as leveraging free resources. The American Lung As‑ sociation suggests tobacco users who want to quit should consult their doc‑ tor, who can help them design a quit plan that may include medication and counseling. Keep in mind, these tobacco cessation treatments are often cov‑
ered by insurance. You can also download the free Quitters Circle app from the Lung Association and Pfizer to access tips on how to quit smoking and help guide you through your quitting journey. It’s avail‑
able at QuittersCircle.com. For your health and the health of those around you, quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do. Take steps to start your quit attempt today.

Edward Hopper and Short Stories
by Kimberly J.B. Smith Contributing Writer
A few weeks ago, a package arrived for me. It contained a book about Edward Hopper. Well, kind of. The book’s title is In Sunlight or in Shadow, Stories Inspired by the Paintings of Edward Hopper. Each Hopper paint‑ ing features a short story by a different writer. If you know the artist, you will agree that his images implore you to imagine a story. The book concept was edited by Lawrence Block, a writer of suspense and mystery novels. Edward Hopper was an American Realist painter. He was born in 1882 in Upper Nyack, New York. This yacht-building cen‑ ter is on the Hudson River, north of New York City. Evidence of his affinity to wa‑ ter scenes no doubt comes from this early influence. Hopper, (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967), took an early interest in art which was sup‑ ported by his parents who supplied a variety of art materials for his use. A foray into aca‑ demia began with a cor‑ respondence course on art but was followed by a path with more rigor.

PUT PETE IN THE HALL Last week’s column on legalized sports wager‑ ing noted that Pete Rose was permanently banned from baseball due to bet‑ ting on games he was managing and then lying about it. Permanent means “life‑ time.” But sentences can be commuted. The Presi‑ dent recently “pardoned” heavyweight champion Jack Johnson for du‑ b ious cri mes. Bu t as Johnson died in 1946, he didn’t live to enjoy the President’s gesture.\ Rose will be 78 next year and the clock is ticking for the Hit King, who had 4256 career base hits, more than anyone else in history. Pete’s ban means that he can’t attend the Baseball Hall of Fame in‑ ductions in Cooperstown on July 29. In the past, Rose has sometimes gone to Cooperstown during these inductions, patheti‑ cally hanging out on the periphery making a case for forgiveness. Baseball’s 2018 in‑ ductees include Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guer‑ rero, Jim Thome, Trevor Hoffman, Jack Morris, and Alan Trammell. In a sport that more than any other is defined by numbers, compelling statistics make the case for their inductions.\But consider that number 4256. As Hall of Fame selections are inherent‑ ly subjective, statistics matter. Should Rose’s moral/ethical shortcom‑ ings overshadow his ac‑ complishments? Also, consider the num‑ bers compiled by Barry
New Hampshire has a mandatory boating education law. Everyone 16 years of age and older who operates a motorboat over 25 horsepower on New Hampshire waters must have a boating education certificate. The New Hampshire boater education course covers a range of topics from safety instructions to boat handling to reading the weather and prepares you for a variety of situations you could find yourself in while on the water.

Remember to wear your life jacket!
Pete Rose Bonds and Roger Clem‑ ens, which exceed those of most Hall of Fame bat‑ ters and pitchers, re‑ spectively. The knock on them is that they al‑ legedly cheated by using performance-enhancing substances, thus unduly inflating their stats. However, from Babe Ruth to Ty Cobb to Ted Williams to Joe DiMag‑ gio, we note that no Hall of Famer is perfect. And plenty of them cut cor‑ ners or cheated. Are there substance users already in the Hall? Of course. Are there cheaters in the Hall? You bet—as Rose might say. To cite but one example, consider pitcher Gaylord Perry, who notoriously threw an illegal spitball throughout a career dur‑ ing which he won over 314 games. So why are some drugusers okay for the Hall but others with better numbers are not? Why are some cheaters en‑ shrined in the Hall while the Hit King has to lurk on the outskirts of Coo‑ perstown? Rose, Bonds, and Clemens have already been punished dearly and will suffer oppro‑ brium for their alleged shortcomings as long as they live. Their numbers
qualify them for Hall of Fame plaques. Let those plaques record their numbers, and let history judge their character. Sports Quiz Whose record for most lifetime hits did Pete Rose break? (Answer follows) Born Today ... That is to say, sports standouts born on June 28 include football legend Red Grange (1903) and BoSox pitching great Mel Parnell (1922).

The midwest offers many things to visitors from far and wide. It is considered to be the ‘Heartland’ of the country where people are just a little more kind and seem to be hard working for things they are pas‑ sionate about. This pretty much sums up the way one individual and his passion lead him to be one of the most success‑ ful craft brewers in this Heartland. Today we turn our focus on a highly re‑ vered and brand new entry to the New Hamp‑ shire beer scene, Bell’s Brewery. By 1980, Larry Bell had acquired a part time job at Sarkozy Bakery while at Kalam‑ azoo College in Michi‑ gan, where he learned about yeast and fer‑ mentation. He soon was home brewing and opened a small home-brew supply store. In 1985, he com‑ mercially sold his first beer and by the next year he had distributed 135 barrels to thirsty fans. By 1990, Bell’s was distribut‑ ing outside of the Michi‑ gan border to surround‑ ing states. They were also the first in that state to open an onsite pub with food. And by 2001, they needed so much more space for production that they purchased and built Bell’s Comstock Brewery. Their success and growth continues simply because of the passion of one man. You can read much more about their story and beer at BellsBeer.com Two Hearted Ale derives its name from the Two Hearted River located in

Two Hearted Ale American IPA
BELL’S BREWERY Comstock, MI. BellsBeer.com
Michigan’s Upper Penin‑ sula. It is technically clas‑ sified as an American IPA. What I first noticed about this legendary beer is bal‑ ance. It is slightly hazy giving off a light golden yellow hue with a brilliant and abundant white head with lasting lacing on the glass sides. Balance hits home with both aroma and taste. Made with only Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest, there is clarity from this single hop against the malt. Aro‑ ma also finds its balance in the top of the glass without complexity. But the crowning glory comes when you first taste Two Hearted. Again, it isn’t pretentious, overstated or even fruity… it is an example of experience when simple ideas and ingredients come together

Products To Improve Your Home In 2 Hours Or Less
(BPT) - The words home improvement usu‑ ally conjure up images of major undertakings like tiling your bathroom or kitchen or tearing down a wall, taking hours and hours to complete the project. The fact is there are some meaningful home improvements you can do that can be ac‑ complished in under two hours. First, have you ever wished your home had more daylight? Maybe you want to bring in daylight to a small place like a closet or laundry room. Or maybe you have a room with a win‑ dow but still not enough light. One solution is a daylighting system from Solatube. This product can be installed in un‑ der two hours and floods the interior with natural light. For more informa‑ tion, visit www.solatube. com/residential. Concerned about se‑ curity? Installing a Ring doorbell takes just a few minutes and you can monitor visitors at your front door on your smartphone through an app. This is a way to add some security to your home. You can be anywhere with your phone but answer your front door and see who’s there. They have no idea where you are, home or otherwise. For informa‑ tion, visit https://ring. com/. Indoor air quality can be poor. The upstairs can often be hotter than the downstairs. Air can be humid and wet. House odors from cook‑ ing, pets, etc., can hang around. A Whole House Fan is quiet (with a light white noise) and can be
installed without refram‑ ing. When you open the windows with the whole house fan on, it strips out the heat from the home as well as the un‑ welcome smells. In sum‑ mer months it keeps the house cooler and elimi‑ nates stale air in the win‑ ter. For information, visit http://www.solatube. com/whole-house-fans. Another product that installs quickly is an up‑ graded bathroom fan. It comes with a variety of options such as heaters and lights. An upgraded bathroom fan can dra‑ matically reduce bath‑ room humidity and odors and run more quietly.
For information, visit https://na.panasonic. com/us/home-livingsolutions/ventilationindoor-air-quality. An easy home improve‑ ment project is to swap out light bulbs for LEDs. Even CFL bulbs can’t hold a candle to LED bulbs, which, while more expensive, last up to 20 years or more. One source for LED bulbs is 1000 Bulbs, www.1000bulbs. com. This gives you an idea of some ways to spruce up your home in un‑ der two hours. But the changes will be longlasting!

Gail Elliott Downs To Present “The Black Suitcase Mystery” At The Wright Museum WOLFEBORO - On Tues‑ day, July 3 from 7 to 8 p.m., Gail Elliott Downs will present and sign the book, “The Black Suit‑ case Mystery: A World War II Remembrance,” as part of the Wright Mu‑ seum of World War II’s Lecture Series. In 1991, Downs, a nowretired teacher with 37 years of experience, ac‑ quired a black suitcase that contained more than 200 letters that provided firsthand ac‑ counts of missions flown by George Elliott Rich, a New Hampshire resident who was a B-24 Liberator crew-member in WWII. Downs and her class un‑ covered the mystery be‑ hind the suitcase and its letters, an undertaking the educator chronicles in her book. “Twenty-five years ago, I lived the events that are chronicled in ‘The Black Suitcase Mys‑ tery,’ said Downs. “I saw
how the life of one New Hampshire World War II hero impacted hundreds of students, veterans and communities. I am thrilled to be speaking at the Wright Museum on the eve of America’s birthday.” Rich began writing the letters at 8 years old after his mother contracted tuberculosis. His mother saved all of his letters. He continued to write to her through the years, and his wife later began writing after Rich joined the military. On his 50th mission on a B-24 bomb‑ er, Rich was killed over Nazi-occupied Poland. Had the mission been a success, Rich would have been able to return home to the United States. “’The Black Suitcase Mystery’ is a great sto‑ ry about how creative teachers can make his‑ tory both relevant and interesting to today’s students,” said Michael
Gail Elliott Downs with a picture of George Elliott Rich. Gail will be presenting the intriguing program, “The Black Suitcase Mystery: A World War II Rememberance At the Wright Museum on Tuesday, July 3rd.

sored by the Common Man Restaurants. All event attendees are in‑ vited to dress in clothes representing 1968, but that is optional. Lakes Region Public Access will be filming the opening. Apostolos went on to explain that as part of the Meredith Bicenten‑ nial Celebration, two time capsules were bur‑ ied on July 4, 1969 in the library’s front lawn containing items that represented Meredith in 1968. One was set to be opened in 50 years on July 4, 2018 and a second one in 100 years in 2068. The Time Capsule Com‑ mittee has been working on this project for a year. Members are, along with Apostolos, Betty Strader, Jonathan James, Linda Hough, Beverly Heyduk, Judy Dever and Karen Thorndike. The commit‑ tee is also charged with creating a new time cap‑ sule and is seeking ideas on what to put in it that would represent Mer‑
edith today. This time capsule will be buried alongside the one which is still in the ground that is to be opened in 2068. If anyone has any suggestions, please con‑ tact Linda Hough at the Meredith Library, linda@ meredithlibrary.org or call 279-4303. At dusk, a special fire‑ works display will cel‑ ebrate the 4th of July and the Meredith 250th Anniversary. Thanks to $10,000 grant from the Lakes Region Com‑ munity Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, this year’s fireworks are sure to be a magnificent display for all to enjoy.

Women In Marine Corps To Be Celebated July 4th In Wolfeboro The Fourth of July is al‑ ways a day of celebration across the United States, and parades are found in every corner of the coun‑ try. This year, one of the largest parades in New Hampshire on the Fourth of July will take place in Wolfeboro. The annual Indepen‑ dence Day Parade, which will carry the theme “We The People,” will travel down Main Street be‑ ginning at 10 a.m. Its floats also will contain a special guest – Major Carol Moore, a retired Marine and descendant of founding father Benjamin Franklin. Moore will ride in one of the Wright Museum of World War II’s vehicles from the WWII era to com‑ memorate the 100th an‑ niversary of women serv‑ ing in the Marine Corps. The Wright Museum’s entries in the parade also include a float focusing on the home front during WWII and a host of other WWII vehicles. “The Wright Museum is proud that Major Carol
The Marine Corps will honor Women Marines at this year’s Independence Day parade in Wolfeboro. Moore will join in the Wolfeboro Independence Day Parade,” said Mi‑ chael Culver, executive director of the Wright Mu‑ seum. “Major Moore’s dis‑ tinguished career exem‑
plifies the important role that women in uniform have played in Ameri‑ can history, making her a perfect role model to honor the 100th anni‑ versary of women serving in the Marine Corps and this country’s Indepen‑ dence Day. Moore served in the Marines for nearly 20 years, volunteering in 1974 after graduating from Cornell University. She served as a lieuten‑ ant in active duty until 1977 and was then a re‑ serve for 12 more years. She is a veteran of both the Vietnam War and Cold War and received the Armed Forces Re‑ serve medal. “I volunteered for the Marines because I be‑ lieve in the universal service – of some sort, not necessarily military service – and our gov‑ ernment is of the people and we as citizens are

ultimately responsible,” Moore said. “I have never missed an opportunity to vote.” In light of the anniver‑ sary of women serving in the Marine Corps, Moore discussed some of what she experienced when she first enlisted, demon‑ strating the growth and inclusion of roles in the service for women. “I graduated from an Ivy League college and then entered the Marine Corps, and it was like entering the Dark Ages,” Moore said. “We had no serviceable utility uni‑ forms and were required to wear a girdle all of the time. As women, we had to do our own laundry and our clothing was odd-sized. We had classes on how to apply
makeup, and our clothing was all skirts except for some slacks we inherited from the Navy—but all of that was changing.” The Parade featuring Moore and the rest of the lineup from the Wright Museum will begin at 10 a.m. and last until noon on July 4. The procession will travel along Main Street through the center of Wolfeboro. For more information about the Wright Mu‑ seum, visit www.wright‑ museum.org. The Wright Museum is open daily through October 31. Its hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

The summit sign, “North Brother, elevation 4143 ft SP” and a good view of Fort Mountain in the background. The maximum speed limit in BSP is 20 mph and it was about 13 miles to reach the Mar‑ ston Trailhead. I drove slowly down the narrow gravel Tote Road and I
saw two moose along the way. My plan was to hike Mount Coe, South and North Brother and Fort Mountain. These peaks are on the New England Highest Hundred List and North Brother is also on the New Eng‑ land 4,000 Footer List. I have visited Baxter State Park just twice before each time to hike
Kathadin along its Ham‑ lin Peak. In my backpack I carry the essentials and a personal locator beacon my mother bought for me. Bryan and Zach‑ ary knew my plan and I would be meeting them at their Nesowadnehunk campsite at the end of the day. All the brook crossings were easy and the open ledges on Coe’s slide were dry and grippy. I hiked steady and I was on top of Mount Coe soon. I was lucky the sky was blue and the panorama was grand completely filled with forest and mountains. The trail along Coe’s summit is open and its exposed steep flank is impressive. The hike over to South Brother was pleasant in the trees but the spur up to its summit is rath‑ er rugged. I scrambled up the big rocks and I was thrilled to stand on top and look back at Coe. I was happy and felt lucky that the Marston Trail between the Broth‑ ers had dried out. A week ago I had seen photos posted by an‑ other hiker that made this section look like a full brook. I kept my feet

dry hopping on rocks on the steep washed out trail section that had water running down the middle of the trail. Much of North Brother is above tree line and it was windy. The bigger peaks of Hamlin and Kathadin looked mighty fierce. It was much like looking at Mount Wash‑ ington but Baxter is wild, there is no abundance of mankind anywhere. From here I could look right down on Fort Mountain and its sum‑ mit’s rocky ridge. There is no maintained trail to Fort. To get there I followed the herd path or what we jokingly call the Bushwhack Trail. From North Brother’s summit the herd path is easy to follow above tree line but once I entered the woods the trees got tight quickly. I would push the spruce branch‑ es away and follow the worn tread way. Sev‑ eral times I had to cir‑ cle around some fallen trees to find the path past them. Occasionally there would be a piece of orange flagging that someone had left behind to mark their way. Rock cairns began to appear as I neared and led me to the summit. I pulled out my map
and I enjoyed a long lunch while I tried to name all the nearby peaks. At the time I didn’t know it but Bryan and Zachary were on nearby Mullen Moun‑ tain, this was one of a half dozen peaks they would reach via diffi‑ cult bushwhacks during their stay in the Park. On my return from Fort, I could hear some‑ thing in the woods. I stood still. Then I saw a man wearing a UNH ball cap. I surprised him. He was the only person I saw the whole day while hiking. Back on top of North Brother I could see the man was now standing on top of Fort. I retraced my way down to the intersection of the Mount Coe and Marston Trails and then I contin‑ ued down the Marston Trail. My track would look like a lollypop with two sticks. Unlike the terrible trails we have in the Wilderness Areas in New Hampshire, the trails in BSP are well cared for and are blazed so that they are not too difficult to follow. Doing trail maintenance doesn’t just make for a better trail but it protects the forest by keeping people on the trail. The for‑
est along the trail was lovely. I found myself wishing that the folks who control the Feder‑ ally designated wilder‑ ness areas would learn a thing or two from BSP. I had a splendid time visiting four mountains, I hiked about 12 miles and climbed nearly 4 thousand vertical feet. What a day! See PATENAUDE on 38

PET OF THE WEEK
” t a e r “T Have you been searching for a friend that has a wild side? Sweet but full of sass? Perhaps extra fluffy? Meet Treat! Treat a beautiful, soft, loving, and sometimes sassy, kitty. She loves rubbing her body all over your legs and playing with string toys for hours on end. This 7 year old girl is full of energy and will be sure to keep her new owner laughing with her feisty antics. She has previously lived with other cats and could share her space with a feline friend. It is important to note that Treat has been known to be somewhat of a bully to other kitties here at the shelter, so any cats she might share her space with should be outgoing and confident! Because of her sassy nature, Treat would do best with teen aged children that won’t overwhelm her too much! Could you be the one to give this Diva her forever home?

I found the boys’ camp‑ site and the blackflies were terrible and I was grubby. So I jumped in my car and drove about a mile to Ledge Falls in the Nesowadnehunk Stream. The sign warned me that the rocks were slippery and when I waded into its cold water to scrub up I slipped and landed right on my butt! I got a good dunking. The ledge was warm in the sun and there was a nice breeze that kept the black flies at bay. I wasn’t back long be‑ fore Bryan and Zachary returned from their ad‑ venture. Thankfully Bry‑ an had set up a screen tent over the picnic ta‑ ble. When not protected by its screen we all wore head nets. I presented supper—a jumbo bag of tortellini, a jar of sauce, bricks of cheese and Mom’s strawberry rhu‑ barb pie. Zachary boiled the water, cooked the pasta and mixed up the sauce. We ate it all and there was not one crumb of the delicious pie left behind. The next morning we rose at 4:30 am for breakfast. I caught a

Again I appreciated the well blazed trails and I could tell by the fresh sawdust that the blow-downs had been recently removed. The last half mile of the trail to reach the summit was steep and rugged. I had to use all my rock climb‑ ing skills to carry myself up and over some of the large blocks of rock. The trail popped me up on the south end of the summit ridge and it was extremely exposed and windy. I didn’t venture too close to the edge. The trail follows the open ledge along a cliff face.
Doubletop’s summit has a “Wow” factor of a perfect 10. I was totally Wowed. I was on top by 8 am and it was another perfect clear day and I could see the peaks I had reached the day before. I sat on top and enjoyed a snack but I didn’t linger too long. I continued to follow the Doubletop Mountain Trail down and I hiked back to my car parked at our Ne‑ sowadnehunk campsite. The drive home was long. I even stopped at a rest area along I-95 and took a 20 minute nap. The new Maine Moun‑ tain Guide is coming out

climbed aboard, it be‑ gan its descent down the mountain until it reached the steepest por‑ tion of the tracks involv‑ ing Long Trestle and a broken part in the axle caused the cog to become disengaged (Frost said a wheel came off), with the tracks thirty feet above the ground . Losing control of the celebrity locomotive which was quickly gain‑ ing speed, Engineer Frost yelled for everyone to jump. His son apparently jumped first, just be‑ fore his father. Fireman Newsham followed,as did photographer Pote. Daniel Rossiter hung on as the locomotive passed over Jacob’s ladder and, as the last of Old Pep‑ persass’ riders, he either jumped or fell into the chasm below and was killed instantly. The oth‑ ers were injured but sur‑ vived. Old Peppersass went over the side of Jacob’s ladder, being smashed to pieces causing the New York Times reporter to say that the spot the o l d e n gi ne l a nd e d on was also its grave,not realizing that it would be pieced back together again for display only. According to that correspondent,two boys
were walking along the trestle and had to leap off the tracks to escape be‑ ing hit by the locomotive. They were not injured. The time was around 5:00 p.m. Meanwhile, the six locomotive drawn cars filled with 300 passengers,including Governors and state legislators,had started their descent from the mountain top. The tracks had been torn up by the Old Peppersass crash and the first car follow‑ ing it down the mountain appeared to be fast ap‑ proaching disaster as it
neared the site of the torn up rails. Someone on the train reportedly yelled “Everybody jump!”,but others persuaded the passengers to stay put, and the brakeman man‑ aged to bring the car to a stop a few feet from the disaster point. The fifty persons in that car included Governor Ham‑ mill of Iowa, Gov. Chris‑ tianson of Minnesota, See SMITH on 46

and Gov. Conley of West Virginia. The people riding in that car made their way to the base camp, carry‑ ing the wounded men on the long journey down. The last car to leave the summit was able to re‑ turn. Its passengers in‑ cluded Governor Tobey and his aid, Major K.B. Ely, who would direct the rescue effort for the two hundred people left in the four remaining cars stranded on the tracks because there wasn’t water available for the boilers of their engines because the Peppersass accident had broken the water pipes. Also in the car that was able to re‑ turn to the summit were Governor Dern of Utah and Governor Caulfield of Missouri. Two hundred passen‑ gers in the four remain‑ ing cars that were un‑ able to go forward or backwards(up or down) were stranded for some time(Some for five hours or more).

artist as well as docu‑ menting his career. Hopper’s most famous work, Nighthawks, was done during wartime and to me, represents an emptiness and un‑ ease that could be at‑ tributed to the sentiment of the time. In the book of short stories, Nighthawks is fictionalized in a story by Michael Con‑ nelly. This writer is the creator of the detective novels and hit Amazon series, Bosch. The lead character, whose name is Bosch (Hieronymus Bosch - artist) is played in the Amazon series by Titus Welliver whose father is the late Neil Welliver. Neil Welliver was a landscape painter whose paintings feature scenes from the back‑ woods of Maine. As the story goes, his son, Titus gave painting a try but his real love is acting. His character in the show, Bosch, is compelling and complex. So in the spirit of Six Degrees of Separa‑ tion: Edward Hopper to

The sender is unknown to me and is as mysterious as some of Hopper’s scenes. I am enjoying the book and thank the sender for the gift. Somehow the sender knew the book would be a delight. It is! “If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper Kimberly J.B. Smith is an artist and art educator.

For 8 years Obama used his “phone and pen” to run roughshod over his Constitutional duty to faithfully-execute the
laws as passed by the legislature. I am grateful that we now have a presi‑ dent who understands his obligations. Which brings us back to the
children. Simply put, the only people separating children from families are the ones using them as props to game the im‑ migration system.

One particularly egre‑ gious example: A Getty photographer’s viral pho‑ to of a crying child stand‑ ing next to her mother as she was being arrested by federal agents. The mother had taken the 2-year-old on a perilous journey from Honduras and illegally crossed the Rio Grande. The Insta‑ gram caption began, “A Honduran asylum seek‑ er, 2, and her mother...” Wait. What? A two-year-old is not an asylum seeker. Her mother isn’t either, since she purposely failed to follow rules we have es‑ tablished for asylum seekers. The rules are a high bar to cross; higher than the waters of the Rio Grande. So she took the path of least resistance, and for good reason: She was a previously-deport‑ ed economic migrant, here to jump the line and steal a job. Despite what media initially reported, mother and daughter were nev‑ er separated by federal agents. In fact, mother separated father from

daughter in Honduras without permission; the father said he wasn’t even allowed a proper goodbye. By entering the US il‑ legally, this Honduran woman committed a crime on US soil. What happens to US citizen parents who break the law? They are separated from their kids, some‑ times permanently. Why should foreigners get a break? Our social services net frays and American fami‑ lies suffer, yet Democrats look beyond our borders to add to our problems. Prioritizing foreign lawbreakers over our neigh‑ bors should disqualify any person running for office. While the Left uses social media and anti-so‑ cial behavior to advance its political interests, the Right needs to be reso‑ lute and settle the issue at the ballot box.

Germany who won the coveted World Cup in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014 faced a surprisingly early and lethal chal‑ lenge to its crown. The German team, known as the Die Mannshaft has long set the standard for top notch play. Nonethe‑ less Germany narrowly grasped a win over Swe‑ den in a second match 2-1. In the highest scoring match thus far, England pummeled Panama 6-1. Teams already out of contention include a fa‑ vorite Argentina, as well as Costa Rica and Po‑ land. In many ways, the game of football reflects the ebb and flow of Interna‑ tional politics; there are recognized powers around which much re‑ volves. Yet nothing is really certain. There are many new upstart teams and players and unex‑ pected outcomes which jolt and challenge con‑ ventional wisdom. Yet all is determined in ninety minutes of intense play.
Fast, Friendly Service
But beyond the football field, Russia the host, pushes for a soft power victory on the political pitch with a carefully choreographed charm of‑ fensive aimed especially at the Europeans and South Americans. Vladimir Putin’s Politi‑ cal sixth sense has been energized by this inter‑ national sporting venue held inside a dozen sta‑ diums across European Russia. The tournament staging, thus far, has been a political win for Russia. As the World Cup ap‑ proaches its decisive quarter final and semi final stages there maybe be room for an unex‑ pected outcome.

MALKIN from 6
Heart before joining ICE to combat online child exploitation. When actual military veterans, whom Lavin failed to consult before defaming Gaertner so glibly, pointed out that the image looked more like a Maltese Cross, Lavin deleted her original tweet “so as not to spread misinformation.” Too damned late. The harm to Gaertner’s name and honor is irreparable and cannot be unseen, unread or unpublished. The New Yorker issued an obligatory apology
and acknowledged that “a staff member errone‑ ously made a derogatory assumption about ICE agent Justin Gaertner’s tattoo.” But what conse‑ quences will there be for her journalistic malprac‑ tice? Who is supervising her work at the famed publication? What other lapses might she be re‑ sponsible for during her present and past stints as a checker of facts and arbiter of truth? The magazine editors claim “we in no way share the viewpoint ex‑ pressed in this tweet,” yet the abject ignorance
of, and knee-jerk big‑ otry against, law enforce‑ ment, immigration en‑ forcement and the mili‑ tary underlying Lavin’s slime run rampant in New York media circles. And they all know it. Lavin has not com‑ mented on the matter and instead turned her Twitter account pri‑ vate. But we can infer her attitude about her present troubles from a defiant piece she pub‑ lished just last week in The Forward magazine, where she pens a regular column. Titled “No, We Don’t Have To Be Friends

with Trump Supporters,” the piece, laden with Nazi allusions, decries asylum reform, strengthened borders and ICE agents enforcing the law. Rejecting calls for de‑ cency in public debate over these contentious matters, she spat: “(T)ough nuts, sugar. When they go low, stomp them on the head.” She further raged: “It is high time, when you find yourself next at a dinner party with someone who has gone Trump, to smash your glass to shards and leave. It is time to push yourself away from the table. It is time to cease to behave with subservient poli‑ tesse towards those who embrace barbarity with unfettered glee.” Better “gone Trump” than gone mad. In her unfettered haste to con‑ demn those with whom she disagrees, the New Yorker’s professional

fact-checker failed to check her own toxic bi‑ ases. Lavin’s act was no innocent gaffe. Like the journalists-turnedpropagandists who have falsely spread Obamaera photos of immigrant detention centers to at‑ tack the Trump White House, Lavin engaged in mass manipulation under the guise of resis‑ tance journalism.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 28, 2018 SHAPIRO from 6
Strzok’s texts were “not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take of‑ ficial action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice.” Here’s the thing: Strzok wasn’t alone. At least four other FBI agents sent proClinton messages through‑ out the Clinton investiga‑ tion. One agent stated that nobody would prosecute Hillary Clinton “even if we find unique classified” material on former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Another texted, “Vive le re‑ sistance” after the election. And the IG report subtly slip in this rather shocking revelation: “We identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organi‑ zation and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters.” That contact included em‑ ployees receiving “benefits from reports,” such as golf outings, drinks and meals. This is how bureaucratic agencies lose legitimacy: not with overt acts of evil but through the echochamber mentality that ex‑ ists in every social setting. We all live within cliques;
we all deal with a select group of people. If that se‑ lect group of people thinks alike, the group tends to radicalize over time. And if there are no checks in place -- if that clique has enormous power -- it’s easy to see how cases can get botched. This is the problem with unelected, unaccountable, nontransparent bureau‑ cracies: They are subject to ideological perversion that they themselves may not even notice until it is too late. That’s why they should be extraordinarily careful in how they wield power. Unfortunately, our law enforcement agencies aren’t, and the result is a dramatic loss of trust that they can ill afford.
