Was The First Revolutionary War Battle In New Hampshire? by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. Contributing Writer
United States’ campaign to obtain independence. Some New Hampshire residents, however, insist that the first real battle of the war with the first shots being fired took place in New Hampshire four months earlier on Dec. 14, 1774 in New Castle, N.H. It is common knowledge that the Granite State likes to be first in
every category possible; moreover, there is a reasonable argument as to why New Hampshire, not Massachusetts, should be credited with the first Revolutionary War battle. If you search the history books I won’t guarantee that you will find Fort William and Mary, Fort Castle or Fort ConSee smith on 54

It was that famous alarmist, Paul Revere, who rode 60 miles by horseback from Boston to Portsmouth to advise the revolutionaries in New Hampshire that the British were sending reinforcements to take possession of the barrels of gun powder and weapons
stored at Fort William and Mary. Every July 4th we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and on April 19th of each year Massachusetts residents look back to what they and many historians consider to have been the first battle of the war in 1775 between the United States and Great Britain in the
T
Gateway at Fort Constitution, New Castle, New Hampshire - Circa 1905. Some claim that the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired here on Dec. 14, 1774.
Lenny Clarke is a name that virtually every New England comedy fan knows. There are few professionals with the credentials, the following, and the history of success Clarke has achieved. The long time Boston based comedian will be appearing at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia (94 New Salem Rd.) Saturday, July 15 for a 9 pm performance. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door and may be obtained through Pitman’s website at www.pitmansfreightroom.com, by calling (603) 527-0043, or emailing msmith7892002@yahoo. com . Advance ticket sales have been brisk. “We have had a number of situations where people make reservations then don’t show or bother to call so we are offering a $5 saving per ticket if people buy in advance.” said Dick Mitchell, who along with his wife Connie owns and operates Pitman’s. Joining Clarke on the stage that night will be Boston headliner Mike Prior.

Comics Workshop At The Belmont Library The Belmont Library is hosting Marek Bennett’s Comics Workshop for ages 8 and up on Thursday, July 6, 2017 from 1-4pm at the Belmont Mill. Using only blank pages, pencils, ink, and four basic “building blocks” of stories, we’ll craft dynamic characters and rich settings, and bring them to life in comics panels, strips, and pages. We’ll also look at how Marek Bennett artists and authors use peer feedback to improve their work, and how to supplement our new worlds with helpful maps, splash pages, and more. This interactive workshop builds literacy skills, hones powers of imagination, shares complex project organization and self-publishing techniques, and helps young artists collaborate, appreciate, and support the work of their neighbors. Participants each create 1+ pages of original comics, and go home with the skills necessary to continue creating comics all summer long. No experience required – everyone can draw comics! NH-based cartoonist, musician, and educator Marek Bennett leads discovery-based Comics Workshops for all ages throughout New England and the world beyond! His comics work includes his latest book, The Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby, the local history webcomic LIVE FREE AND DRAW!, the graphic novel travel memoir, SLOVAKIA: Fall in the Heart of Europe, numerous community-specific mini-comics projects (such as serving as the Official Cartoonist of New Hampshire’s Weeks Act Centennial), the long-running Xeric Award-winning weekly newspaper strip “Mimi’s Doughnuts”, and more.

Having grown up on Long Island, New York and moving to Central New Hampshire in 1985, there was one thing I found myself craving those first years I lived here. Knishes, blintzes, freshly baked bagels, lox and fresh corned beef and pastrami sandwiches served on
rye bread that was baked within the last twenty-four hours. There were some substitutes that I tried that never quite made the grade, but I got by. It wasn’t ever quite up to par with that real Jewish cuisine I was used to. Flash forward to today, and I have found heaven again, right here in the Lakes Region, even if its

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
My Plans For The Fourth
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
Time to get out my walking shoes. I realize that it would make sense to wait until Independence Day next year, but desperate times take desperate measures. As you may or may not know, I am facing a serious challenge next year in my run to be the Flatlander Party’s gubernatorial nominee (which, as I often have to explain to folks, means I am running for governor, not guber). I don’t usually have any competition for the nomination, but this year I may find myself in the fight of my life for the job. The party hasn’t done well in elections over the years, so the grumbling inside is that there needs to be a change. Seeing that I’m the only one from the party that has run for office over the years then, of course, all the blame falls in my lap. A lot of people forget that it was me that started the Flatlander Party, right here on these pages years ago. It’s been me that has suffered the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” and took the losses in elections humbly. I knew it would take years until we would be properly recognized and I was the one who took on that struggle, knowing that someday we would finally be a force to reckoned with. Now, just as we are finally breaking through (I did get seventy-five votes this last election) others
want to step from behind the embarrassment curtain they have been hiding behind all these years and now step out into the glory. Like the story of the Little Red Hen I read in grammar school, I did all the work while others claimed to have too many other things to do in order help. Now, as our star begins to rise, others want to just step in and eat the bread. Still, this is politics and I should have seen it coming. I shouldn’t have expected anything less. So, I have some work to do and I need to do it early. The Flatlander Party doesn’t have the numbers of the other two major parties, but we do have enough to make a difference. The problem in getting their attention for the primary vote is that they are spread far and wide across the state. So, I am kicking it into gear early to get their attention. What better way than to march in some Fourth of July parades in some of the cities and towns in New Hampshire. I realize I will only make a few of the parades considering travel and timing, but I have hired a few surrogates to march in some others holding signs with my name on it. Of course, this all works on the element of surprise and not only will it put me in front of some members of the Flatlander Party early, but it may also get me some much needed, free media coverage. No one attending Fourth of July parades this year will be expecting it. On off election years, parade goers line the streets waiting to see the local high school bands march and play, some brave veterans walk by, maybe local police and firefighters, some
folks from local organizations that do good around town and even guys in funny hats driving little cars. No one will be expecting a smiley politician to show up. Advantage me. I’m sure some will be shocked as they see me walk by, waving as if I care. Some will react with boos I’m sure. Maybe a few polite ones wiell give me a smattering of applause. One things is for sure though, I will stick out like the sorest of thumbs and I will be noticed. Even my surrogates will make some waves. The media will love it, especially the boos, I’m sure to get free air time out of it. Of course, I haven’t been invited, but I’ll make sure to pull off my best Rosie Ruiz and slip into the parades as they turn a corner, my campaign sign ticked neatly into the elastic waist band of my shorts (which come in very handy for more than just an ever-expanding waistline). So, if you see me marching in your Fourth Of July Parade, remember I have no choice. A desperate man has to do what a desperate man must do. I know you’ll understand. ******** I hope you will join me on July 13th at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia for a StorySlam to benefit the NH Humane Society. If you have a story to tell based on the theme “It Seemed Like A Good Idea” please come and put your name in the hat (of course, you’ll need a ticket. After all this is a fundraiser.)

The Double Murder Of Otto Warmbier We may never know what brutal torture and malign neglect American student Otto Warmbier suffered at the hands by Michelle Malkin of North KoSyndicated Columnist rea’s dictatorship before losing his life this week at the age of 22. But it wasn’t the first time the free-spirited Ohio native died. More than a year before succumbing to the unknown illness or injury that left him in a coma thousands of miles away from home, Otto Warmbier’s own countrymen murdered his reputation. His character. His humanity. Click-hungry media ghouls knew nothing about Warmbier’s small-town upbringing, his family life, politics, personality, disappointments or dreams. But they gleefully savaged a young man who made a mistake on a doomed trip to a totalitarian hell. Warmbier’s thoughtless taunters instantly transformed him into a bigger, badder villain than the barbaric DPRK goons who beat, starve, rape and kill enemies of the state for such offenses as listening to foreign radio broadcasts, possessing Bibles and disrespecting Dear Leader -- in Warmbier’s case, by attempting to steal a propaganda sign that read “Let’s arm ourselves strongly with Kim Jong-il’s patriotism!” as a souvenir. The Huffington Post published an acid rant by “Blogging While Black” writer La Sha titled “North Korea Proves Your White
Male Privilege Is Not Universal.” She rejoiced at Warmbier’s sentence because, she gloated, it taught him that “the shield his white male identity provides here in America is not teflon abroad.” Instead of faulting a repressive socialist regime, La Sha blamed Warmbier for “being socialized first as a white boy, and then as a white man in this country.” The HuffPo’s megalomaniac millennial had the gall to compare her daily plight of living and breathing freely in America to Warmbier’s captivity: “The hopeless fear Warmbier is now experiencing is my daily reality living in a country where white men like him are willfully oblivious to my suffering even as they are complicit in maintaining the power structures which ensure their supremacy at my expense.” But it wasn’t just babbling diversity bloggers who exploited Warmbier’s imprisonment. For a few cheap yuks, liberal black comedian Larry Wilmore plowed ahead with smug disregard to how Warmbier’s parents, family and friends must have suffered as photos and videos of their son and loved one were plastered all over media. To canned laughter, Wilmore mocked Warmbier on his Comedy Central show with a graphic labeling him an “ASS,” which spelled out a fake frat name, “Alpha Sigma Sigma.” “It’s just tough for me to have much sympathy for this guy and his crocodile tears,” Wilmore snarked as he roasted the “Frat Boy.” Left-wing website Salon added another layer to the white malebashing echo chamber: “This might be America’s big-
Yes, Hate Speech Is Free Speech
With the left feverishly attempting to squash unwelcome speech on college campuses, with the president of the by Rich Lowry United States Contributing Writer musing about tightening libel laws, with prominent liberals asserting that so-called hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment, free speech in America at least has one reliable friend -- the Supreme Court of the United States. In a firm 8-0 decision, the court slapped down the Patent and Trademark Office for denying federal trademark registration to a band named “The Slants,” a derogatory term for Asian-Americans. As it happens, The Slants is an Asian-American band that seeks to “reclaim” and “take ownership” of anti-Asian stereotypes See malkin on 44 (it has released albums called
“The Yellow Album” and “Slanted Eyes, Slanted Hearts”). This didn’t matter to the trademark office any more than it presumably would to the dean of students at the average liberal-arts college. The litigation hinged on a provision of federal trademark law referred to as the “disparagement clause.” This clause forbids registration for any trademark “which may disparage ... persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols, or bring them into contempt or disrepute.” Taken literally, this provision would forbid the disparagement of the KKK, an institution; or Benito Mussolini, a person who is dead; or Vladimir Putin, a person who is living. The trademark office interprets the clause with all the wisdom you’d expect of a federal bureaucracy. As its manual puts it, an examiner determines whether or not the mark would be found disparaging by a “substantial

Has somebody ever said something to you that hit you full in the face like the wind coming off a freshly manured by Ken Gorrell field? I expeNorthfield, NH. rienced that sensation last week while attending a local “Town Hall on Education,” hosted by Reaching Higher NH. The meeting started off as expected. Though it claims to be nonpartisan, from their “About Us” webpage, it’s clear that Reaching Higher is left-of-center. But the host presented an even-handed summary of recent state and federal education legislation. When the two panelists were introduced, however, the meeting lurched noticeably to the Left. I didn’t mind the recently-passed bill funding all-day-kindergarten being referred to derisively as “Keno-garten” (as if a funding mechanism based on voluntary contributions is worse than one based on forced taxation), or even the state being criticized for “downshifting” education costs to taxpayers, as if Concord gets its revenue from magic elves. But when a Democrat state representative insisted on calling our education scholarship program a “voucher” system that (cue the ominous music) gives tax dollars to religious schools, I knew I was behind enemy lines.
Left-Hand, Left Behind After an hour of being told how wonderful but underfunded – or at least, inequitably funded – our public school system is, I asked the two panelists what the dropout and non-proficiency rates were for the Laconia system. They didn’t know. I asked because those students are being poorly served by a system that pours nearly $15,000 a year into preparing them for the adult world. The latest data for Laconia: 10.9% drop out; nonproficiency rates for 11th graders in reading, writing, and math are 24%, 37%, and 75%, respectively. The focus on and testing for college- and career-readiness ignores the needs of a sizable number of students. When I asked a panelist about those students whose academic abilities place them well to the left on the bell curve, I received the odoriferous answer: He didn’t believe in the bell curve. This educator didn’t believe in applying the “normal” distribution, a wellestablished concept in statistics, to students. His “all students can succeed” claptrap may make him feel better, but ignoring inherent limitations is cruel. I haven’t been in the dreamcrushing business since my days as a Navy officer. When a sailor’s sense of self interfered with the ship’s mission, a personal recalibration was in order. While teachers should be inspirational, encouraging students to reach higher, that encouragement should not ignore the real world, where failure to “make the grade” is not only an option, for some it is a probability.

UN Secretary General Decries Rising Tide of Refugees UNITED NATIONS - In an
impassioned appeal to the media, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres decried by John J. Metzler the rising tide Syndicated Columnist of refugees worldwide, but advised that ultimately political solutions to the crises remain the key to stem the tide creating chaotic human displacements. While more than 65 million people around the world are victims of a score of conflicts, both humanitarian assistance and preventive diplomacy to solve these calamities are needed now. “Now we are witnessing the largest number of refugees ever,” the Secretary General stated glumly while adding that while developed countries have carried an enormous burden to aid the ongoing humanitarian emergencies, it was largely overlooked that smaller and poorer states have carried a disproportionate burden. Secretary General Guterres is painfully aware of this expanding crisis having served nearly a decade as the UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees and earlier Portugal’s Prime Minister. Sadly we know the conflicts: Syria, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Significantly the Secretary General stressed that countries of first asylum, namely states bordering a particular crisis, now host 80 percent of the refugees. In Lebanon one third of the population are fleeing Syrians. Turkey and the Kingdom of Jordan host huge numbers too.
In 2015, Uganda hosted a half million refugees; today the small Central African state has 1.3 million mostly from South Sudan. Kenya and Ethiopia house large numbers too from Somalia. These are societies, “that are poor, that lack resources, that have huge development gaps and huge development problems.” Guterres is appalled that “global political populism, Xenophobia, racism in which refugees become a target.” He advised that while refugees are often accused of promoting terrorism, refugees “are the first victims of terror, they are fleeing terror; that is why they are refugees.” The Secretary General conceded that humanitarian aid for refugees is still largely underfunded, by about 50 percent. That means the the majority of refugees are living below the poverty line and have little access to education or proper health case. Funding is desperately needed here for UN relief efforts. Eighty percent of refugees live in the developing world, not western countries such as Canada, Germany, and the U.S. Guterres pleaded that “countries in the developed world increase their resettlement quotas” as a move towards “responsibilitysharing.” Still the Secretary General conceded, “recognizing that there is no humanitarian solution for the refugees plight, the solution is political and it is related to the solution of the conflict that generates refugees in larger numbers.” In other words solve the crises through Antonio Guterres’s trademark policy; Preventive Diplomacy. Yet there’s a growing an deliberate confusion between ecoSee Metzler on 53

Now Hiring
Yours truly and Becca visiting the Basin while riding our bicycles on the Franconia Notch Recreational Path. The path travels nearly ten miles through Franconia Notch between The Flume and the Skookumchuck Trailhead. While pedaling you’ll pass by the Basin, Lafayette Place Campground, Cannon Cliff, Eagle Cliff, Profile Lake and the Old Man Profile Plaza, The Cannon Mountain Tramway, The New England Ski Museum, Echo Lake, Artist’s Bluff, The Governor Gallen Memorial and the Sunset Bridge on Old Route 3. There are many ways to enjoy the path; you can choose to ride it all the way out and back, ride it point to point or ride one or two of its segments. For a map visit: www.nhstateparks.org. Becca and I met midmorning in the Flume Visitor Center. The Flume was a happening place and we were not able to park in the north lot nearest the beginning of the Franconia Notch Recreation Path but there was still plenty of room in the lower lots. The clouds were still low and the ground was wet from the previous evening’s rain storm but the air was warm and comfortable. A few years have passed by since the last time either one of us had taken our bicycles for a spin on this path. We both joked that the nearly 10 mile long path was uphill in both directions but actually the elevation gain from the southern terminus at the Flume to the northern terminus at the Skookumchuck Trailhead climbs 800 feet in elevation. The Franconia Notch Recreation Path isn’t what
many expect to find in a bicycle path. There are steep uphills and downhills and though I am not sure the exact width of the pavement but when meeting approaching cyclists it sometimes feels quite narrow. Plus there are walkers and hikers using the path to reach attractions and trailheads too. But what it lacks as a bicycle super highway it more than makes up with grand scenery that should be enjoyed at a slower pace. I do recommend parents lead their children and set a safe slower pace during descents. We pedaled steadily for a couple miles up the path before stopping to view the Basin. Here there were lots of visitors walking from the parking area to the Basin. It was a lovely sight to see the high water swirling around the natural granite bowl.
For our next stop we took a slight detour off the path to the Lafayette Place Campground headquarters and camp store. The camp store is well stocked with all the provisions to keep campers happy—from foam sleeping pads to bug-dope. From the campground the path continues to climb and passes near the scree field below the mighty mile long Cannon Cliff. The clouds were rising and we could see rock climbers making their way up the cliff’s steep bare face. We also enjoyed views of Eagle Cliff on the east wall of the Notch. The path crosses under the Parkway when it reaches Profile Lake because the Parkway tightly hugs its shore. Now on the other side we pedaled past the small wayside that was once a popular viewing site to see the Old Man of the Mountain. In a short disSee patenaude on 45

— OFF THE SHELF — Nothing Is Simple
by Debby Montague Book Reviewer
Murder in Saint-Germain, Cara Black, Soho Crime, 2017 Simplify it for me, Bartok. Simple? You want simple? Where I come from, nothing’s simple. Things are seldom simple for Detective AimÊe Leduc. AimÊe’s case in Cara Black’s first AimÊe Leduc investigation, Murder in the Marais, wasn’t simple and in the seventeenth AimÊe Leduc investigation, Murder in Saint-Germain, AimÊe’s life is even more complex. She’s a single mother and her babysitters are scheduled elsewhere, her business, Leduc Detective, is nearly overloaded with work and coping with Y2K, and AimÊe is weighted down by guilt over her refusal to visit her godfather, Morbier, who is in critical condition in hospital. Nothing simple about any of that. AimÊe and her partner, RenÊ Friant, operate Leduc Detective and specialize in tech investigations. One would suppose that computers and the security and crimes that involve computers would not be terribly dangerous. And maybe not, but the problem is that AimÊe is constantly being side-tracked to more dangerous investigations – war crimes, art theft, abandoned babies, immigrants, and the everlasting search for information about the mother who abandoned her when she was a child. War crimes, art and immigrants may be enough to keep you reading Black’s
AimÊe Leduc Investigations, but there’s a lot more to keep your interest. Black renders the arrondissements of Paris as familiar to the reader as your own neighborhood whether you’ve had the good fortune of visiting Paris or not. Her main
character, AimÊe Leduc, is someone you would love to sit with at a cafÊ on Ile Saint-Louis, where AimÊe has an apartment, enjoying an espresso or a glass of wine and perhaps a discussion of men or ghosts. Black’s plots are well-constructed and satisfying, and her style is outstanding. Her dialog is true and her chase scenes are always breathtaking whether AimÊe is running along the rooftops in the Marais or through the tunnels beneath Paris. In the seventeenth AimÊe Leduc mystery AimÊe is juggling the care of her eighteen-month old daughter along with a big contract at École des Beaux-Arts when she is approached by her friend
Suzanne, to whom she owes a favor. Suzanne wants AimÊe to help track down a ghost. It could be that Suzanne, head of an elite counterterrorism team, is suffering PTSD after time spent in Bosnia after the civil war in the early 1990’s or it could be that the man Suzanne saw die is not dead after all but in Paris killing other members of Suzanne’s squad. As if dealing with the problems of École des Beaux-Arts and helping Suzanne find the ghost aren’t enough AimÊe’s old boyfriend, Melac, ChloÊ’s father, shows up unexpectedly with ChloÊ’s grandmother in tow. The last thing AimÊe needs is the imposition of a stranger and the now married Melac. Will they haunt her like the other ghosts in her life? And intruding into her work and worries are thoughts of Morbier. She blames him for her father’s death, yet she can’t forget all that he has meant in her own life. Does she ignore him now that he seems to be close to the end of his life? Nothing may be simple in AimÊe’s world, but nothing could be simpler in yours if you are looking for great writing, a good mystery, and grand characters. Just get a copy of Cara Black’s latest AimÊe Leduc mystery, Murder in Saint-Germain, or any of the other sixteen AimÊe Leduc investigations. Find your favorite spot for reading and start in. You’ll be following AimÊe down the cobblestoned streets of Paris in no time. See you there.

NH Dept Of Health And Human Services Urges Precautions Against Multiple Tick Diseases CONCORD The ticks are already out in New Hampshire, and the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) wants to remind people living in and visiting the State to take precautions against being bitten by ticks and potentially exposed to Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. New Hampshire has one of the highest incidence rates of Lyme in the country. According to the DHHS Division of Public Health Services (DPHS), there were an estimated 1,373 cases of Lyme disease identified in the State in 2015, the most recent year for
which data are available. Tick bites can cause other diseases besides Lyme disease. In 2015, there were also 110 cases of anaplasmosis reported, which is caused by a bacterium, and 53 cases of babesiosis, which is caused by a parasite. There have also been two cases of the Powassan virus in New Hampshire residents, the first in 2013 and

second in 2016, but it is not known if these were acquired in New Hampshire. The majority of Powassan cases are seen in the Northeast and upper Midwest, which is similar to anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Lyme disease. These diseases are all transmitted by the blacklegged (or deer) tick. “Ticks are out, and while we want to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors, we also want to encourage people to take steps to prevent themselves, family members, and pets from being bitten by ticks,” said Dr. Benjamin Chan, NH State Epidemiologist. “Preventing tick bites is the best way to avoid getting sick from any number of diseases that ticks can carry.” DHHS recommends taking the following precautions to prevent tick bites: Avoid tick-infested areas such as overgrown grass, brush, and leaf litter. Use an insect repellent containing DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus every time you spend time
Speak with your healthcare provider if you are bitten by a tick or if you notice a large bull’s-eye rash anywhere on you. To remove an imbedded tick, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible or if none is available use your fingernails. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to people by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick, also known as the deer tick. The greatest risk for Lyme is between the months of May and August, when the blacklegged tick is in the juvenile stage; it’s the size of a poppy seed and very difficult to detect, so individuals may be unaware that they have been bitten. Early symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, headache, fatigue, and often a skin rash that is round and/ or looks like a bull’s eye. Lyme disease is treat-
able with antibiotics, but if left untreated can lead to severe headaches and neck pain caused by meningitis (inflammation of the protective covering surrounding the brain and spinal cord), pain and swelling in the large joints, shooting nerve pains, and abnormal heart rhythms. Symptoms of anaplasmosis and babesiosis may include fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches; some individuals may not have symptoms. Individuals who are older or whose immune system may not function well can have severe infection with these organisms requiring hospitalization. Both anaplasmosis and babesiosis are treatable with antibiotics. Powassan is caused by a virus transmitted through the bite of a black-legged tick, and symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, loss of coordination, speech difficulties, and seizures. Approximately half of people who become sick from Powassan have permanent neurological symptoms, such as recurrent headaches, muscle wasting, and memory problems. There is no specific treatment for Powassan. For more information about Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, visit the DHHS website at www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/ cdcs/lyme/ or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov/ticks/.

Try changing the way you think. Why do we eat? Do we eat because the food tastes good and we are craving it? Or for fuel? In a recent conversation with a friend we spoke about gathering around the table for celebrations or as a way of entertaining. Often these gatherings involve fattening foods such as chips, dips, pizza, cake and ice cream. It’s OK to celebrate now and then, but many of us reward our bodies on a regular, even daily basis and then pay the consequences of our bad choices later. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said, “Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.” What we eat should be so good for us that it actually heals and restores our bodies. My advice is to start thinking more than just taste and pleasure when you eat and begin to eat for your health’s sake. Experiment with some of the healthy recommendaSee fink on 16

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer
I suppose I am getting older (as we are all prone to do), because I find myself comparing things to years past or thinking that a movie is “fairly new� only to later learn that the movie is like 20 years old! Another thing is that I’m consistently shocked at the cost of everything: gas, groceries, and utility bills, just to name a few. This is a more legitimate concern than confusion over how long ago a movie was released. I mean it just seems that it is becoming harder and harder for people to make ends meet. This often means that people will have to get second or even third jobs, just to meet basic needs. It also means that people have to make sacrifices. Unfortunately, these sacrifices tend to be their health and their long term well-being. This is understandable: given the choice of paying for
groceries today versus worrying about a problem that could occur down the road, it is easy to prioritize the problem of today. Ultimately, however, time will pass and the future problem will become a today problem. Generally, when the problem related to your healthcare it is more expensive to fix a problem later, than to prevent or minimize the issue today. This is often a “good offense is the best defense� situation. The key for us both health wise and financially is: how can we protect our long term health in a cost effective manner? Now, if this was an easy answer our healthcare costs as a nation wouldn’t be so out of control. America spends roughly 18% of its gross domestic product on health! This is a number that is significantly higher than any other nation. This works out to $8500 per person. Every man, woman, and child....$8500. This is $3000 per person more than any other country.

opinion is this: a good first step to taking control of our health and health finances is to take back personal responsibility as individuals. It is clear that healthcare in our country is more expensive and less effective than it should be, but our healthcare system is not the singular entity to be blamed. We all should carry some of the burden. Some of the most expensive diseases and problems to treat are of the chronic variety and these are generally lifestyle induced (most heart disease, some cancers, and type 2 diabetes are some examples). Meaning: we as individual Americans can be part of the solution by choosing to live differently. By differently I mean this: maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, exercise daily, eat fruit and veggies as the core of your diet, drink more water, and get more sleep. We need more reliance on good lifestyle choices and less reliance on quick and artificial fixes. Note, none of these things have to be expensive or time consuming. They can, however, help you become more healthy today and into the future. All of those easy actions listed, can help See moneysmith on 16

prevent lifestyle diseases. If you reduce your risk of chronic lifestyle diseases, you will save money, live longer, and have a higher quality of life. Further, you will fulfill your civic duty to be healthy and help reduce national healthcare costs. I don’t believe that our skyrocketing healthcare costs are going to be fixed by politicians or lawmakers. I don’t think the nearly 18 cents of every American dollar that is going to healthcare is going to be reduced by more quick fixes from pharmaceutical companies. I think the problem is going to improve when individuals take control of their health with their everyday choices. When this happens: the individual will be healthier, save money for themselves, and will become part of the healthcare solution. This information can be both liberating and scary, depending on your perspective and your mind set. Scary, because it means no more excuses, no more “I’ll start/stop/ quit on Monday”, no more shirking responsibility. It can be scary, because it means a large part of our success will be tied to our daily choices. It is also, however, liberating because it means we aren’t and don’t have to be victims. We can take control and be the primary shapers of our long term health. We are major players in the quality of our days. This can be a powerful and beautiful thing. My hope for all of us, is that we stop being scared victims, beholden to a future from which we are disconnected. Rather, we are all free people, who embrace this challenge and live lives that are long, healthy, and full of reached potential.

POLITICAL SOFTBALL IN N.H. The recent shooting at the Republican baseball team practice in Alexandria, Va. focused attention on the annual GOP/ Democrat Congressional Baseball Game. The June 14 attack wounded four people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, before the shooter was killed by police. The next day the Democrats beat the Republicans 11-2 at Nationals Park to cut the GOP series lead to 42-40, in a diamond rivalry that dates back to 1909. The Republicans took the series lead with 11 straight wins starting in 1964, in large part aided by the presence of former Major League pitcher “Vinegar Bend� Mizell. The Democrats had a congressional majority at the time, and considered passing legislation banning Mizell from the game. That the annual contest raises funds for three Washington, D.C. area charities gave me a “SportThought.� Why not have a Granite State version of the congressional game featuring New Hampshire legislators playing softball? Being both a sports guy and a legislator, I floated the idea to some fellow members of the Veterans’ Caucus and got a positive response. House Minority Leader and Vietnam veteran Steve Shurtleff (DPenacook) suggested we use such a game to raise
Vinegar Bend Mizzell awareness and funds for Manchester’s Liberty House, a non-profit operation that assists homeless veterans. Great idea. So we’ve reserved the Memorial Softball Field in Concord for a DemocratRepublican softball showdown on Saturday, October 14, in the midst of post-season Major League Baseball action. Planning is in the earliest stages, but there is potential to have a lot of fun and raise a lot of money while showing that bipartisanship is alive and well in the Granite State. We could have a Supreme Court justice help with the umpiring, a celebrity to sing the National Anthem, and maybe a Miss New Hampshire to help pass the hat to collect contributions. We could find sponsors and get the game videotaped and broadcast on the radio. Maybe the losing team
could make a token $100 donation to the winning team’s state committee just to spice things up! As we’re early in the process, we have yet to draft up prospective rosters, much less scouting reports, but as it was my idea I’m hoping to play a leadership role and maybe even pitch for the GOP team. Representative Shannon Chandley (D-Amherst) will be organizing the Democrat team. Good natured ribbing has already commenced, i.e. “The Dems are sure to be strong in left field.� One wag expressed concern that neither team import any “ringers� from Massachusetts. While I’m sure that would never happen, it would seem reasonable to require players to show ID—just to protect the integrity of the game. I’m excited. This could

Just about two hours south from the Lakes Region, you can drive down Rt 93 South past the intersection of Rt 95 and find yourself in Woburn (pronounced “Wubin� to locals). Here, people work through their daily lives in the hustle of inner city life knowing that at the end of the day, a cold, relaxing moment awaits them. The moment they can relax, maybe kick off their shoes, put their feet up and enjoy a cold frosty brew. The summer is especially friendly to those moments of pleasure. There is a local brewery providing awesomeness in a can just around the corner from their dwellings, happy to have them as loyal fans of Lord Hobo. Lord Hobo Brewing Company at 5 Draper Street in Woburn, MA, is home to a young, energetic company run by a group of people interested in making some of the best craft beers in their state. Daniel Lanigan, founder of Lord Hobo, converted their industrial space, with a castle-like front entrance, and tremendous collection of 40 barrel stainless steel vessels bound together with electronics, hydraulics, plumbing and know how to create their wonderful offerings. Lord Hobo packages all of their beer in 12 or 16 oz cans which helps preserve that ‘brewery freshness’ they seek to maintain. You can find out more about their brews on facebook. com/lordhobobrewing or at their website; lordho-
Glorious American Pale Ale
lord hobo brewing co Woburn, MA/
lordhobobrewing.com
bobrewing.com Poured into a tulip glass to help enhance the hop presence as you approach, this hazy golden drink has an alluring orange or mango aroma and crisp white foamy head. Your first sip assures your nose is correct. A bounty of hop flavor lathers your tongue in small waves of tropical fruits; the kind without much sweetness. Galaxy hops arrive to us from Australia and much like their close cousins, Motueka and Green Bullet, have a generous flavor profile. Galaxy is one of those varieties that can be used for bittering, but has recently been tried just as aroma hops going into the production of the
beer much later in the process. A dryer finish lasts while you discern what you have just experienced. As an American Pale Ale, Glorious bewilders because of its hop haze and others with its higher ABV. BeerAdvocate.com has officially rated this beer ‘Very Good’ and awarding an 87 out of 100. Followers also rated it as high as 4.50 out of 5.0 telling us that Lord Hobo has a serious hit in a can! With the robust Galaxy hops at the helm, this yearround 6.5% beer is a sure winner this summer for most any occasion.

That leads me to believe your pencil sharpener is probably w o r t h m o r e , perhaps as much as $150. Remember, this is just my educated guess, not an appraisal.

The Rochester Opera House Presents Comedian Mark Riccadonna
Comedian Mark Riccadonna will be performing at The Rochester Opera House on Friday, July 14 Riccadonna is a gifted stand-up and storyteller, with a charisma that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever, unique delivery, signature voice (that has landed him several commercials) and likability; you will see why he is a favorite everywhere! Not only is storytelling an art that throughout time has passed information, life lessons and entertainment from generation to generation, it is one of the oldest art forms celebrated. It is also the best part of the entertainment business. Mark grew up an artsy jock outside of Youngstown, Ohio. At age 17 (like a bad independent movie), Mark moved to NYC in search of himself and happiness. He pursued Theatre at The American Academy of Dra-
of Power” and is writing for Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update. Whether he is working with The Amoralists Theatre Company (In the acclaimed hit “Happy in the Poor House”), Angry Shih Tzu Productions or on tour with Stand-Up, Mark continues to climb the ranks. The show starts at 8pm (doors open at 7pm) on Friday, July 14. Tickets start at $20. Reserve tickets online or call the box office (603) 335-1992, W/F from 12-5pm and 1-hour before the show. The Rochester Opera House is sponsored by TD Bank North, Eastern Propane, Shaheen & Gordon P.A., and Norm Vetter Foundations. The Rochester Opera House is located in City Hall, 31 Wakefield Street, Rochester NH. Visit www.RochesterOperaHouse.com for more information.

New York City, and ‘on the road’. Mark currently also performs for Armed Forces Entertainment, and has entertained U.S. and U.N. Troops worldwide, performing in six
continents while working with his childhood heroes. Outside of comedy, Mark is an accomplished actor and writer. Most recently Mark has a lead role in the feature film “Days

July 4th is About Freedom! “Where l ib e r t y dwells, there is my country.” ~Benjamin FranklinYou have freedom by Niel Young w h e n Advocates Columnist y o u ’ r e easy in your harness - Robert Frost For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?- Ralph Waldo Emerson Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. Thomas Paine In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved Franklin D. Roosevelt! There are two freedoms — the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought. -Charles Kinglsy. No one is free when others are oppressed. ~Author Unknown. ******** L.A. Times: Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson proposed renaming a street after President Obama on Thursday. There are several
other streets named after presidents in the area, including Washington, Jefferson and Adams. The street would not be the first in the area to be named after the nation’s first black president, however. In May, a plan to rename a stretch of the 134 Freeway after Obama moved forward with approval from the state Senate. The freeway is near Occidental College, which Obama attended from 1979 to 1981. Even the youngest residents of the southwest L.A. neighborhood were receptive to Wesson’s idea. “Obama! I like that,” said 8-year-old Kory Gable. “Then there will be only one Rodeo which is Rodeo [Drive].”Hey Kory, you seem to be a pretty sharp youngster. Do you know that roughly the time they were born, Barack Hussein Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize. Interesting question Kory: What is the Nobel Peace Prize? And why did he get the prize? A high percentage of Americans have the same question? Barack didn’t know how to prevent trouble in the East. He didn’t have a clue, so he just decided to travel, and doing a lot of
bend-over ring kissing. Though residents were receptive to having a street named after Obama, they did ask why the president’s name couldn’t be given to a more significant street. “Change La Brea, change Sepulveda,” said Taylor Strong, 21, a parks and recreation assistant at Rancho Cienega. “Sepulveda is the longest street in California. Change a major, major street. I think he deserves more than Rodeo.” “Obama is something we’ve never had, and in my lifetime we thought we would never see it,” said Walter, a retired gardener who declined to give his last name. “He deserves more than a little bitty street.” “Changing the name here won’t change anything because it’s already a black neighborhood,” agreed Shawn Rahman, a cashier at I Smoke 4 Less smoke shop. “Why not take it to Beverly Hills? Why not change Rodeo Drive to Obama Drive a white neighborhood? You’re changing the street, you’re spending the money, might as well change it there.”

in many cases you don’t realize how much it can do for you. According to the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C., “Americans have a staggering amount of untapped equity in their homes.� How much? Altogether,
$11,030,000,000,000. That’s 11 trillion, 30 billion dollars. Yet despite this huge wealth possessed by homeowners, using it isn’t as simple as writing a check. You have to capitalize on your home’s equity. See tap on 35

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 29, 2017
tap from 34
What Is Home Equity? Your home’s equity represents the difference between its current market value and the money that you owe on it. Let’s say, for example, your home has a market value of $200,000, you made a down payment of $40,000 and you took out a $160,000 mortgage. At that point your equity is $40,000. You can always calculate this number by taking your home’s initial price and subtracting the amount you still owe. Now, let’s say 10 years later you have paid off $60,000 of your $160,000 mortgage. At this point you still owe $100,000 on your home’s initial
price of $200,000 so your equity is $100,000, assuming the home’s value has remained the same. A Little At A Time Each month when you make a mortgage payment, some of your money goes toward interest, some goes toward real estate taxes and homeowner’s insurance (if the lender is collecting for these and making the payments on your behalf), and some goes toward paying off the mortgage itself. This last portion grows your equity because it subtracts from the amount you still owe. Your home equity can also grow if your home increases in value because the amount you still owe has not changed. A rise
in value may be due to increased home prices in your area and/or improvements you make to the home. Market home prices may rise and fall from one year to the next but given enough time, most real estate tends to increase in value. For example, current economic forecasts from CoreLogic project a 4.8 percent increase in home prices year over year in 2017. Gaining Access To Your Equity Now that you understand what equity is and how much equity you have, your next question may be “How do I use it?� Your first step is to contact a knowledgeable mortgage professional.
They will be able to answer your questions as well as show you loans that use your home as collateral. You’ll want to do your research to determine which type of loan is best for you. You should also take the time to compare interest rates, offers and loan features. And if you are age 62 or older, you are also eligible for additional home equity options such as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), which is an FHA-insured Reverse Mortgage loan. This loan may be taken as a lump sum, a line of credit, through fixed monthly payments or a combination and the loan can never be frozen or reduced. The equity in your
home empowers you with several financing options and the specifics of each loan may vary from lender to lender, so ask questions and do your own research. Once you understand all your options you’ll be able to determine which loan offering allows you to make the most of your most valuable asset. To learn about HECM Reverse Mortgage loans and other special homeequity options available to homeowners 62 and older, visit www. reversemortgage.org/ HomeEquity.

Children’s Museum’s Summer Travels
“Exploring Nature’s Best Engineers” Library Program DOVER - The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire’s Early Childhood & Literacy Coordinator, Meredith Lamothe will be very busy this summer. Every week from late June to mid-August she will be traveling around the state to deliver the Dover museum’s “River Builders” summer library program to libraries as far away as Bath, NH. “River Builders: Exploring Nature’s Best Engineers,” sponsored by Fidelity Investment’s Unique College Investing Plan, is a one hour-long program during which children, ages 5-11 can investigate some of nature’s very best architects and engineers. From the beaver to osprey to the lesser known caddis fly and Native American fish weir, participants will get to examine and hypothesize about these builders and the incredible structures they create. This program is a hands-on informative presentation with a focus on the designs of buildings, homes, and innovative tools found along rivers in New England. The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire is well suited to teach this topic, as its home sits on the banks of the Cocheco River in downtown Dover, and has several “Cochecosystem” exhibits featuring these uniquely engineered homes. Meredith is currently scheduled to visit over 30 libraries across New Hampshire and southern Maine, traveling over 1,200 miles - one way! “I’m excited for this summer, and look forward to it all year long,” shared Meredith. “We’ve been

Cabaret Fundraiser With Rebecca Robbins This summer on the evening of Thursday, July 6th Great Waters Music Festival will hold a fundraising event at the beautiful Pinckney Boathouse on the Brewster Academy Campus in Wolfeboro. The event starts at 7pm and will feature desserts, a cash bar, silent auction and a very special Cabaret style performance by Broadway star Rebecca Robbins. Broadway singer and actress Rebecca Robbins will share an intimate evening of songs and stories about her adventures while on tour with The Phantom of the Opera. From being in Cleveland when the Cavaliers won their first NBA Championship, to Louisville for the funeral of Muhammad Ali, to performing at The Kennedy Center for Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber himself, her stories are told through an eclectic mix of music that includes songs from Broadway as well as Johnny Cash, Adele, Paul Simon, and many more. Come experience this love letter to some of America’s greatest cities as seen through the mask of the Phantom. Rebecca will be joined by her friend and collaborator, Dr. Christopher Shepard who will be accompanying her on the keyboard. Rebecca comes directly from a four-month run of Jerry Herman’s musical revue, Jerry’s Girls at the historic Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. Prior to that she toured North America for almost two years with The Phantom of The Opera where, along with playing her roles as Madame Firmin and The Confidante, she has also played opera diva Carlotta Guidicelli at theatres across the country, including The Kennedy
Rebecca Robbins Center, San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre and Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre. Prior to joining the tour, Rebecca was a member of the Broadway company of The Phantom of The Opera, playing the Majestic Theatre for almost 3 years. Other Broadway/ Off-Broadway credits include A Tale of Two Cities, My Fair Lady (NY Philharmonic), The Pajama Game, Fiorello, Fanny, Music in the Air and The New Moon (City Center Encores!), as well as Wallace Shawn’s The Music Teacher which she also recorded for Bridge Records. In New York City, she has performed at such legendary venues as The Friars Club, Birdland, Sardi’s and The Metropolitan Room. In 2015, Rebecca made her network television debut on The Late, Late Show with James Corden in a segment where James joined the cast of The Phantom of The Opera as Fop #2 in a live perfor-
mance at The Hollywood Pantages Theatre. She also lent her voice to the soundtrack of the multiple award winning film short, The Secret of Joy, a film raising awareness for pediatric cancer directed by Max Bartoli which featured Doris Roberts and Jack Betts. A very special soloist who has ties directly to the beautiful Lakes Region, Rebecca first visited Wolfeboro with her family when she was eight years old. She and her family immediately fell in love with the area and have returned every summer. In 2004 her parents finally decided to become home owners in neighboring Tuftonboro, a home which she has since inherited and still enjoys coming to whenever she can. Rebecca fulfilled a childhood dream in 2013 when she performed at The Great Waters Music Festival with the Hillyer Festival Orchestra. The response from those who attended See robbins on 61

Everybody’s got a story... so what’s yours? The StorySlam
is a live storytelling competition in the vein of poetry slams organized by The Moth, a non-profit literary society from New York City, since 2001. Storytellers (slammers) have 6 minutes each to tell a story, based on a theme chosen for the event.
Come and tell your story, or just sit back and be entertained by those who do. 12 storytellers will be selected at random and have up to six minutes to tell their story. Stories can be funny, sad, inspirational or all three, but please, no politics or preaching, we all get enough of that every day as it is. Prizes will be awarded and a good time will be had by all. “StorySlams” are hugely popular events across the country, but very few, if any, have been held North of Concord. What better way to introduce it here than with a benefit for one of the area’s favorite charities? More information can be found on “Real Stories North Of Concord” Facebook page. Those who are interested in telling a story can register in advance by sending their name to realstoriesnoc@gmail.com. (Registering does not guarantee that you will be picked.) Admission is $15 per person for both storytellers and spectators. Seating is limited so call Pitman’s at 527-0043 for tickets. Pitman’s Freight Room is a bring your own food and drinks venue. Pitman’s is located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia.
lover of cultures and intellectually openminded -- “a warm, engaging, brilliant young man whose curiosity and enthusiasm for life knew no bounds,” according to his family. Utterly consumed by malignant identity politics, the left-wing intelligentsia have become the intolerantsia. They are bent on dehumanizing individuals, fomenting racial, ethnic and class division in the name of “progressivism,” and never taking responsibility for the damage done. Contrast the no-regrets policy of these “Frat Boy”-bashers, with a former North Korean prison guard, Lim Hye-jin, who escaped recently and recounted the horrors of life in the camps. “We were manipulated not to feel any sympathy for prisoners,” she said. The guards of the totalitarian state “do not see them as human beings, just as animals.” After realizing she had been brainwashed by ideological monsters, she spoke out. “Now I know they were normal people, so I feel very guilty.” Will the short, slandered life and double death of Otto Warmbier prompt the American left’s cruel character assassins to admit the same?

At the edge of Profile Lake in Franconia Notch, Becca is standing in the middle of the Old Man of the Mountain Profile Plaza. The Profilers behind her can be lined up and viewed to re-recreate his face on the mountain. The Old Man of the Mountain fell on May 3, 2003 and the plaza was made possible by the supporters of the Old Man Legacy Fund.
tance the path goes back under the Parkway and intersects with the path to the Old Man of the Mountain Profile Plaza. The plaza has granite benches, engraved pavers sponsored by supporters of the Old Man Legacy Fund and steel “profilers” that recreate the visage of the Old Man high above Profile Lake on the north edge of the Cannon Cliff. It is a pretty place and it’s worth it to take the time to visit the historic site. Becca and I wished we could put the old Man back up on Mountain.

a big uphill that goes right under Interstate 93 and tops out at the Old Route 3 and the Governor Gallen Memorial and the Sunset Bridge. From here it is less than two miles of near flat pedaling to the Skookumchuck Trail parking area. This would be a swell place to have a short easy out and back bicycle ride between the Galllen Memorial and the Skookumchuck Trailhead. Very good riding for people that want to avoid hills. We turned around and rode straight back to the Flume, yes it was more downhill and a lot of fun. But the day was only half over. We threw our bicycles in the car and drove a few miles down the Notch and pulled into the Clark’s Trading Post.

Yes, both of us have made the journey into Wolfman’s claim and yelled “Scram you old goat”! We were delighted by the small children’s reactions to the Wolfman. We did get back in time for standing room only on the upper part of the
Show Ring for the main attraction, the bear show. Echo and Tula performed a wonderful show and the Clark’s continue the family tradition of peppering the show with sweet corny bear puns. The show starts with the raising of the Flag, a bit of recycling, getting the mail and a good game of Bearsketball. Echo and Tula are stars and the Clark’s gentle loving care just glows as they encourage their bears during their performance. A

Hi! My name is Harley Quinn. I am five years old and I absolutely adore my people. I prefer to be the only animal in my home - but trust me, I am all you need! I had a rough start, but I am thriving with enrichment and training. I love treats, being a good girl, and playing outside. Outside is my favorite and I would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where I can sniff, run, and play. I would do best with older children as I have a lot of energy. I know how to sit, lay down, and roll over. Please come down to the shelter and ask to meet me!

Among the food items which will be available “while they last” will be cheese blintzes with strawberry sauce cooked on the spot, beef and potato knishes, chopped liver, chopped herring, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, homemade beef brisket sandwiches, deli barrel half sour pickles imported from Montreal and, yes, corned beef, pastrami and tongue sandwiches served on fresh rye bread (with cole slaw and a pickle). Of course there will also be homemade desserts (Rugelach, Strudel and Hamentashen ...there will even be dog cookies!).
Irene Gordon ran the Food Festival on her own for years and is still an active, hard-working member of the Committee. (The Festival also had preorders which are no longer being taken at this point.) The food festival has come a long way since its start in 1997. “It started modestly on the front lawn,” said Irene Gordon who basically ran the festival on her own for years. “It was kind of a fundraiser and a way to draw attention to Jewish food and get people to know our community.” In the beginning, the items offered were a beef Borscht and knockwurst. “Later on we added blintzes,” said Irene. “The aroma from them would permeate downtown and
people would come and line up. It became very successful.” “Most of the recipes are old traditional family recipes that come from grandmothers. Mothers, aunts, etc., where the best of the best have been decided over the years,” said Sue Needleman. In 2013 Irene decided to semi-retire from running the food festival herself and there followed a discussion by temple members if they should continue. The amount of time needed to prepare as well as the effort involved in running the festival in relation to how much See festival on 51

money was raised were discussed. Obviously, the choice was to continue. “Now we have about seventy people who do what Irene used to do herself,� said Sue Needleman who coordinated the festival for two years. “It takes hundreds of hours of work by a dedicated group of volunteers over six months. Others, including myself, saw the raising of funds to not be the most important thing. When we form volunteer cooking teams to produce each of the different food specialties, there
is a special bond that is created by working together in the Temple kitchen. We really run the food festival from our hearts and as a labor of love.� Planning for the food festival starts in the beginning of the year and the preparation of some of the food items starts way before the festival. There are teams of ten to twelve working in the kitchen at the Temple on any particular day. Each food item that is being prepared has a team leader and all recipes are followed to the letter so as to keep a consistency to the food each

All of the food prep, except for some on the doughs made in home kitchens, are made at the Temple kitchen which only has two ovens. The teams will start at 9 or 10 in the morning and go as long as it takes. What they don’t make themselves, they make sure that they get only the best, no matter the cost or the distance.
A crew from the Temple goes down to pick up the deli meats from a small deli in Marblehead. Massachussetts, a good two hour trip each way. “We want to have the best and freshest rye bread we can have,� said Stu Needleman. “We used to have it flown in from a bakery in Ann Arbor. Michigan, but the bread needed to be baked on Tuesday so it could be shipped and served on Sunday. That wasn’t fresh enough for us.�
They did find a brand new bakery in Dover, New Hampshire called Olde Craft Bakery. Run by two recent immigrants from Russia, they visited the Temple last week to present their rye bread which the Festival Committee found to be outstanding. Olde Craft Bakery will be baking the bread on the day before the festival and delivering it that night. “We are paying a bit more for the deli meats and bread than in the past,� said Stu. “But that

Along with the Food Festival will be the Temple’s yearly “Nearly New Boutique� on the front lawn where many quality items donated by Temple members and friends will be for sale. The younger members of the Temple also get involved with learning how to prepare some of the recipes as well as selling lemonade the day of the festival, asking only for donations and giving whatever they earn to St. Vincent De Paul. The food festival is one of two fundraisers the Temple B’Nai Israel does each year, but they are also involved with separate fundraisers through their “We Care� program during the year to raise funds for other charities such as Camp Resilience. The Jewish Food Festival at Temple B’nai Israel goes from 11am till 2pm (or till the food is gone) so it is suggested you get there early. The “Nearly New Boutique� starts around 7am.

composite, although not necessarily a majority, of the referenced group.” So, merely a plurality of the offended will do, and common sense is no defense. This is classic safe-space reasoning -- the harm that would allegedly befall some portion of a group from encountering an offending trademark should trump the free-speech rights of the likes of “The Slants.” The court utterly rejected this posture, deeming it inimical to a free society and untenable under the U.S. Constitution. In a passage that should be pasted into the student handbook of every college and read aloud by progressives who have convinced themselves that hate speech is not free speech, the court held, “Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.’” As the court’s concurring opinion noted, basing the trademark prohibition on the presumed reactions of an offended group doesn’t help -- “a speech burden based on audience reactions is simply government hostility and intervention in a different guise.” The disparagement clause was the wedge that activists were trying to use to force the Washington Redskins to change the NFL team’s name (the team has been fighting the cancellation of its trademark in court). And every effort by the speech police to spread their operations from college campuses to the wider society must be resisted. In this case, they came for a self-described “Chinatown Dance Rock” band with a cheeky name, and the Supreme Court said, Sorry, not in America.
Public schools produce many young adults who earn only debt, not a degree, from their college experience. Some must pay for remedial courses to learn high school-level material. Some newly-minted college grads first encounter real-world standards during the interview for the job they didn’t get. But the kids our system truly leaves behind are the ones represented by the dropout and non-proficiency rates. For a variety of reasons – IQ, socio-economic, family stresses – some students will never meet college- or career-ready standards. That’s not a moral judgement; it’s simply a fact. It’s time to take those kids out of the current curricula and testing regimen. Some of the 115 out of 152 students who started 11th grade in Laconia in 2013 unable to demonstrate proficiency in mathematics could be better served with a program aimed at providing them with the basic body of knowledge for independent living. Relevant proficiency is more valuable than irrelevant non-proficiency. The academics of this program would be built around key life skills, such as a basic understanding of civics, current events, and history; the mathematics required for personal finance and tradeskill jobs; fundamental scientific concepts; home economics; law and order; and society’s expectations for adults. Teaching and testing at levels some kids can’t reach, covering material they will never use, is a waste of time and resources. Worse, the kids know it. They vote with their feet by dropping out or tuning out. Encouraging students to reach higher is the right thing to do, but only if what they are reaching for is meaningful to their lives and realistically within their grasp.
nomic migrants often illegally flooding into the USA or Europe for work and genuine political refugees fleeing the horrors of war. Asylum seekers have a specific vetting and a formal acceptance process to gain Refugee status. Both groups have been widely exploited by criminal networks of “people traffickers” and many migrants have died in the process of illegally entering Europe or the U.S. While both groups have specific rights under international law, the Secretary General stressed, “If a refugee comes to a country, that country has the obligation to receive him. If a migrant comes to a country, the country has not the obligation to receive him.” While advocating for legal migration, “that doesn’t mean borders to be opened to everybody in all circumstances… Countries have

the right to manage their borders in a responsible way” but he added, “they have the obligation to do it also in a protectorsensitive way.” When questioned whether refugees or migrants have the responsibilities to integrate into and respect the laws of the host countries, Guterres stated emphatically, “Refugees and migrants have the obligation to respect the laws of the countries in which they are…this is absolutely crucial.” Refugee numbers have surged. According to the UN there were 16 million in 2000, by 2015 the number had reached 20 million, and today it has now surged to 65 million people! On the one hand the long running African conflicts such as those in the Congo, Burundi, Somalia and South Sudan continue. But let’s be painfully
realistic, others such as Iraq, the so-called Arab Spring uprisings, the destabilizations in Libya and Yemen, the rise of Islamic State are all part and parcel of a churning spiral of violence in part caused by the former Obama administration’s woefully incompetent policies, destabilization or disinterest by “leading from behind.” The global community has inherited these crises.

stitution mentioned at all. The three were all located at the same spot, in the town of New Castle at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, a strategic location for the province of New Hampshire during the Revolutionary War. The earthen fort was called Fort William and Mary after the
British monarchs when Paul Revere brought the message by letter to Dr. Samuel Cutts of the New Hampshire militia on Dec.13, 1774 that the Britsh were sending troops from Boston to either take over the fort to protect the 100 (maybe 97 ) kegs of gunpowder along with the muskets and cannon at the fort

or to remove the items from that location. The fort was guarded by only six men, Captain John Cochran and five soldiers under his command. They were men from the Province of New Hampshire who were loyal to the British authorities, including the Governor at that time, John Wentworth. It should be noted that the British had taken actions to try to keep gunpowder out of the hands of the colonists including restricting imports. Those seeking freedom from British rule and taxes, many using the title Sons of Liberty, organized “Committees of Correspondence” in the towns to enable them to be informed of the activities taking place in the cause of freedom. On the afternoon of Dec. 14th about four hundred men, led by Captain John Langdon, sailed down the Piscataqua River on boats called gundalows (barges with sails) to Fort William and Mary with the intent of emptying the fort of its gunpowder. The details of the encounter may differ slightly, depending on who is telling the story, but the “sons of Liberty” were successful in loading the kegs of gunpowder onto their gundalows
and taking them to locations where they could be hidden until needed in future encounters with the British soldiers. At least some of the kegs were hidden in a church in Durham, reportedly under the pulpit. One account indicates that upon the arrival of the men at the fort, Captain Cochran warned them that if they tried to enter they would be fired upon, but instead of leaving the men rushed upon the fort whereupon the British defenders opened fire with three cannons and several muskets. Before they could reload they were taken prisoner by the attackers who then broke into the powder house. There were no deaths reported as a result of the men being fired upon and it has been suggested that Captain Cochran had his men deliberately fire into the air to avoid casualties. Not all accounts mention any firing of weapons, The British flag was removed from the fort but the captive soldiers were released after the colonists had completed their raid. Some of the acquired gunpowder was reportedly used later at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The next day, realizing that they left the small See smith on 55

of Liberty” and British loyalists in those days. Maybe because nobody died. Maybe because of an absence of publicity. Nevertheless, it was a victory for those New Hampshire rebels which led the British- controlled governor to sail away for other parts, opening the way for the people of New Hampshire to govern their own affairs, and for some of those who followed them to claim that the first shots of the Revolutionary war were heard here if not around the world. Fort William and Mary was eventually abandoned during the war by the British as they left to use their resources at other places. The fort came under the control of the State of New Hampshire and after a short stint as Fort Hancock was called Fort Castle and was given to the federal government in 1791. The fort was rebuilt
with higher walls and new buildings and in 1808 was renamed Fort Constitution. The United States government operated the Fort Constitution until it was returned to the state in the year 1961, and today is part of Fort Constitution

cannon and firearms at the fort, five hundred of the rebelling colonists, under the leadership of John Sullivan, a representative from New Hampshire to the Continental Congress, attacked the fort a second time without resistance from the guards and removed the 16 cannon and the supply of muskets and took them away on their gundalows. Following these raids of Fort William and Mary British reinforcements arrived by two ships to protect the fort, but Governor Wentworth for safety reasons had to leave his Portsmouth home and take temporary refuge at the fort. So why is the shot fired at Lexington and the conflict there considered the beginning of the war and not the raid by the colonists on Fort William and Mary? Maybe because historians count the New Castle event as but a “skirmish” or “ incident” like some other “incidents that took place between the “Sons

her performance were so overwhelming that Great Waters asked her to return for a special performance with the Festival Chorus Orchestra 2014. Even the production crew and volunteers were impressed with her extreme enthusiasm and effervescence. Smiling and laughing and happy to meet fans in the lobby for autographs and pictures, long after the end of the performance – Rebecca is the type of performer everyone can’t help but love. Rebecca is an alumna of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and also holds a BA in music from the University of Charleston. She is a proud cancer survivor, an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan and when not on the road performing, you can usually find her relaxing in a hammock at her home in Tuftonboro.
