World War II Poster Exhibit In Portsmouth Wolfeboro’s Wright Museum of World War II and Portsmouth’s Two International Group partner to bring 24 original WWII-era posters to the Pease International Tradeport. Drawn from the Wright Museum’s extensive Permanent Collection, this exhibit showcases posters created by some of the finest illustrators of the period, including N.C. Wyeth, James Montgomery Flagg and Howard Chandler Christy. D u r ing World War II, the United States designed and printed almost 200,000 different kinds of war propaganda posters , which is more than either its Allies or enemies. While the Axis propaganda posters promoted hatred of the enemy, American posters took a different route. “War propaganda posters played Max Desfor in Korea.

According to historian Everett S. Stackpole, after the Declaration of Independence was agreed upon and published in Philadelphia on July 4th, 1776, it had been proclaimed in all the towns of New Hampshire within fourteen days. A few months earlier, on April 12th,a Committee of Safety for the colony of New Hampshire, meeting in Exeter, had approved a resolution that had been made by the Continental Congress called the Association Test. All males in the colony above twenty-one years of age (with some exceptions) were asked to sign the resolution which read:“WE THE SUBSCRIBERS, DO SOLEMNLY ENGAGE AND PROMISE, THAT WE WILL, TO THE UTMOST OF OUR POWER, AT THE RISQUE OF OUR LIVES AND FORTUNES, WITH ARMS, OPPOSE THE HOSTILE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BRITISH FLEETS AND ARMIES,

More Bike Paths To The Editor: There is a proposal to tear up part of the state owned Concord to Lincoln rail line for a multi-use recreational bike path. It’s an idea that should be considered and the reason is history. Purchased by the state in 1975 from a bankrupt Boston & Maine railroad this line has never been anything more than seasonal tourist trains followed by a scant few freight cars since it’s reason for being, Franconia Paper Company in Lincoln closed for good in 1979. For this state owned rail line to be successful would require millions of dollars in investment into it’s physical structure such as ties and welded rail but also marketing with tariff rates that would somehow be competitive against I-93, which is not more than a mile away from most of this long neglected railroad. So far the state seems to be dragging it’s feet with even considering a recreational bike path in the Laconia area which would generate millions of dollars in local economic value and state tourism. This is what is wrong with Concord. The construction of this multiuse bike path would also be similar to what Manchester and Keene are constructing and ironically on the paths of abandoned and state owned railroad lines. Steven J. Connolly Bethlehem, NH.

Coalition Not Serving The Country To The Editor: I can’t say I totally agree with business refusing to accommodate a particular patron, but there is one issue I am absolutely certain of and that is refusing to serve someone for political reasons. The restaurant owner at the Red Hen restaurant and anyone who agrees with her refusing to serve the White House Press Secretary for political views was not only wrong, but she should keep in mind thousands of Americans and our allies died in Europe during the second world war fighting the Third Reich because of political and social indifferences. Using political views to discriminate against fellow citizens was a spear head of the Nazis from 1939 to 1945. This is written in the history books for all to read. Don’t think for one second I am exaggerating with my analogy. What is going on in our country and Washington is dishonorably routed, but not in democracy. The first five or so tweets I read most days are concentrated on degrading the president, his family and the administration and continues throughout the information being fed to the public. There is no value in such commentary regardless of your party affiliation. Discriminating against anyone that has different political views opens the door for what
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.

very well could be a crippling of our democracy. It is true the President makes a habit out of saying things off color. But keep in mind it’s not like he has not exposed some serious problems the way politicians and the main stream media have conducted themselves and continue to do so. The discourse during the election was bad enough, but to continue to berate the President and his family has led citizens to turn on each other using politics as a weapon. A coalition of democrats and republicans are not serving the country and the people who voted for them in office. They are too busy attempting to take down the President. There is something wrong with this picture and it is not the one that made America successful. Working across the aisle has been the backbone of our success for as long as I can remember. Non-cooperation by both parties coupled with the mainstream media refusing to concentrate on the positive aspects of the President’s accomplishments has had a serious effect on the voters. None of which is good for the country and “We the people”. Joseph F Dorsett Sr. Ossipee, NH.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Back & Fourth
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
The last decade has been a very confusing and tumultuous time for this country. We live in a time of great divisiveness and instead of finding ways to come together, we keep finding ways to tear us further apart. The past couple of weeks certainly haven’t been any different. One issue especially has torn at the already weak thread that holds at least some hope for unification. Of course, I am talking about this year’s Independence Day holiday and when, exactly, it should be celebrated. Certainly, it could be argued that since the Fourth of July falls on a Wednesday, it should be celebrated on that day. It seems the most sensible solution. But sensibility seems to have disappeared along with doctor’s house calls. As we have become accustomed to all of our holidays entitling us to a long weekend, a right, someone told me, guaranteed to us in the Constitution, the battle of exactly which weekend to celebrate the Fourth of July has been ripping us apart as a nation. There are those who could care less; those who are fortunate enough to be able to take off the entire week incorporating both weekends. These are the ones who turn
their back on the debate. “Let the chips fall where they may,” they say as they load up their SUVs for a trip to somewhere where they can be near water and a liquor store. Those less fortunate are left to fend for themselves. To decide which weekend they will try to squeeze an additional day off on. Not a simple task since the planning needs to be made a few months in advance. One needs to choose wisely. And forget about what town is having their fireworks display on what night; just trying to figure that out could put you over the edge. It is a stressful time. The Fourth of July falling on a Wednesday is not, unlike you might have been told on the news, President Trump’s fault. It is a random occurrence that no man holds dominion over. This holiday will fall as it will, but it is up to each individual to pick the time to celebrate it that is most convenient to them. This is where the problem lay (or lies, I always forget which on to use but I don’t have time to look it up right now. I’m sure I’ll get letters.) I was going to write this column last week, but I knew that I might offend and alienate some of my readers who chose to make this upcoming weekend their Fourth of July Holiday. I also thought that those who already celebrated the holiday this past weekend wouldn’t really care as the issue was already passed for them and there must be a new outrage to consume them by this time. There is a third group, in which I fall into. Those of us patriots who don’t have the option to take off either weekend and
will just have to do with celebrating the Fourth of July on July Fourth and then go about our regular lives on the two weekends on either end. Even though I can put myself into one of three groups regarding this crucial situation, I am hopeful that we can all, as Americans, just put aside our differences and work together. Those first weekend celebrators should never look down upon those who celebrate this weekend and vice versa. The week-long celebrators have an even heavier burden in being tolerant of both groups. I realize that I may be wishing for too much, to hope that all sides can come together for once. After all, our forefathers, those who sacrificed so much so that we could have this time to cut off each other in traffic as we race to our destinations, would be horrified to see how shattered this country has become over the issue. We do need to address this issue now, or we will forget. Next year, falling on a Thursday, it will be clearer which weekend to celebrate the Fourth of July and in 2020, a leap year, it will fall on a Saturday. In fact, the Fourth of July won’t fall on a Wednesday again until 2029. So, we owe it to future generations to resolve this conflict today. We are better than this. Or not.

‘Abolish ICE’ Zealots Occupy Fantasy Island “No ban. No wall. No borders at all.” That is the radical rallying cry of the Democratic Socialists of America. Waving desby Michelle Malkin ecrated U.S. Syndicated Columnist flags, grubby fists and ratty anarchy banners, DSA’s professional protesters are targeting Trump administration officials, threatening immigration enforcement agents, and blockading detention facilities and processing centers nationwide. On a similar note, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., proudly marched in a parade last week with a T-shirt emblazoned with “Yo No Creo En Fronteras” -Spanish for “I don’t believe in borders.” These are abjectly unserious people, operating in bad faith, who pose a serious threat to our nation’s well-being. In New York, DSA rabblerousers took over a loading dock used to transport immigrants at an ICE processing center on Varick Street. Genius move. Now, detainees whose bond hearings were canceled because of the protest disruptions face another six or more extra weeks in detention. In Portland, Oregon, DSA operatives shut down a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office after preventing workers from exiting the building. In Detroit, organizers disrupted ordinary processing and appointments at a downtown ICE field office and plan to camp out there 24 hours a day until the
end of the month. “Our shortterm goal is to shut down operations at this particular center,” ringleader Robert Jay explained. “Our long-term goal is to abolish ICE entirely.” This reckless, simpleton sentiment doesn’t belong to the fringe of the American left. It is the center. Across the country, supposedly mainstream Democrats, activist groups and entertainers are pushing to “Abolish ICE.” To be clear, if the hashtag didn’t clue you in: They don’t just want to reform or reduce the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which was created by merging existing immigration entities after the 9/11 attacks to better coordinate enforcement against alien lawbreakers inside the country. They want it gone. Zapped. Poof. An informational flyer lists the agenda of the ICE breakers: “A moratorium on deportations. “End all forms of immigration detention. “Reimagine Border Patrol as a humanitarian force that rescues migrants, rather than destroying their water supplies to hasten their deaths.” It seems these hysterical extremists were too busy stalking Republicans at restaurants and blocking roadways to notice the Border Patrol agents in Arizona who rescued 57 illegal immigrants, men, women and children (as young as 1), abandoned by smugglers in 108 degree heat in the Tucson sector this weekend. Or the Border Patrol agents in Texas who rescued a pregnant immigrant woman who nearly drowned while attempting to cross the Rio Grande River il-

What Trump Gets I n t h e 1950s, the great neoconservative intellectual Irving Kristol acknowledged Joe Mcby Rich Lowry Carthy’s stark Contributing Writer failings, but famously refused to take the side of his critics. “For there is one thing,” he wrote, “that the American people know about Senator McCarthy: He, like them, is unequivocally anti-Communist. About the spokesman for American liberalism, they feel they know no such thing.” The sentiment could equally apply to President Donald Trump and the issue of immigration. Trump’s team is still trying to figure out how to extricate itself from a policy of separating families at the border that was incompetently executed, incompetently explained, and incompetently reversed.
The president himself is so heedless of his own priorities and legislative strategy that he initially opposed a compromise House immigration bill crafted with the input of his own staff, then reversed himself and supported it, then declared that it should be put off until next year. Who knows what he’ll say about it next? He poured contempt on the idea of adding immigration judges at the border, when it is rock-solid Sen. Ted Cruz who is proposing the idea and every immigration restrictionist welcomes it as a way to expedite the consideration of asylum claims (the current backlog of 600,000 cases is a disgrace and adds to the dysfunction of the system). Yet, with apologies to Irving Kristol, the one thing the American people know about Donald Trump is that he believes we have a border and it should be enforced. About his opponents, they know no such thing -- and

Shut Up. They Explain I’m not surprised that mobs shriek at Trump administration officials in restaurants and that Maxine Waters wants more of that. by John Stossel I’ve watched Syndicated Columnist this happen at American colleges. One example: Heather Mac Donald is a Manhattan Institute scholar who wrote the book “The War on Cops.” She argues that Americans are less safe today because police, for fear of being called racist, back off. I sometimes disagree with Mac Donald, but she is a thoughtful researcher whose ideas deserve to be heard. At UCLA, when she was allowed to give her “Blue Lives Matter” speech, many in the audience applauded. But then “they stormed the stage,” she explains in my video interview with her. The protesters, both white and black, shouting “Black lives -they matter!” drowned out any possible questions. Watching video of the event, I was surprised to see what looked like a party atmosphere. Protesters smiled as they got out cameras and recorded each
other. “It’s almost an expectation that if you’re a minority student on campus, you’re there to protest,” Mac Donald told me. Eventually, the UCLA protesters took over the stage. No further discussion was possible. From UCLA, Mac Donald went to Claremont University, where she was met with posters that said her speech should be “shut down” because she is an “antiblack fascist.” I asked Mac Donald about that. “This is preposterous. I have spent enormous amounts of time in high-crime, minority neighborhoods talking to good people there who are desperate for more police, who have a right to expect the same freedom from fear that people in safer neighborhoods take for granted,” she replied. “My agenda is to try to give voice to these people. To say that I’m anti-black is ridiculous.” Nevertheless, Claremont activists blocked the entrance to the lecture hall where Mac Donald was scheduled to speak so that no one could enter. Mac Donald gave her speech to the empty room, and that was recorded for the internet, but no students could ask questions because they couldn’t get in. Even a school newspaper reporter who tried to get opinions
from protesters was shouted down. “I’m with the Claremont Independent, and I’m wondering if you might be willing to tell me anything at all,” he pleaded with the mob, but they were more interested in stopping speech than in arguing any points. “The protestors are the ones engaging in what is clearly his-
torically fascist behavior,” said Mac Donald later. “In the case of the Berkeley riots, vandalizing, breaking glass, setting fires, beating people up. But they go under the moniker ‘anti-fascist’ ... They called me a fascist. But I have not tried to silence anybody.” Years ago, California Governor Ronald Reagan called
The Rise Of The Mob This week, Rep. Maxine Waters, DCalif., issued a clarion call to Democrats outraged at the policies of the Trump administration: by Ben Shapiro It’s time for Syndicated Columnist mob action. In the wake of mobs targeting Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Waters explained: “God is on our side! On the side of the children ... Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” Waters has always been a fan of mob action. She infamously touted the violent and brutal 1992 Los Angeles riots, which did approximately $1 billion in property damage and ended with 63 people dead. Waters called the events a “rebellion,” labeling them a “spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice and a lot of alienation and frustration.” And yet Waters has been affectionately nicknamed “Auntie Maxine” thanks to her rabid attacks against the Trump administration. Democratic leaders ranging from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to Sena te Min ority Lea d er Ch u c k Schumer, D-N.Y., denounced Waters’ words. They’ve done the
same with regard to violent protests on college campuses. That is meritorious and deserves praise. But there is little question that major political figures on both sides of the aisle have played footsie with mob action to little or no blowback. It’s not just Waters. President Obama made excuses for riots in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland, during his presidency; Rev. Al Sharpton, who has actually been involved in precipitating mob violence, still gets to play peacemaker on national television; during President Trump’s 2016 campaign, he repeatedly referenced the possibility of violence against protesters. No civil society can humor such overtures to mob action and remain civil for long. The First Amendment protects Maxine Waters, of course, and it should. But Americans should be appalled by her words, rather than slightly titillated by them. And yet it seems that extreme rhetoric now earns a sort of badge of “coolness” that can’t be matched by those calling for cooler heads. To call for civility now seems unwoke. No wonder Symone Sanders of CNN stated, “the folks calling for civility might need to check their privilege.” To be angry is to be justified; not being angry enough is the greatest sin. And that is dangerous. It’s not that Americans will suddenly begin attacking one another in the streets. It’s that large populations can be moved by small, extreme minorities.

COLORADO ROCKIES A recent Colorado trip for a wedding event afforded me one more opportunity for a sociology study of yet another non-New England sports culture. The NFL’s Broncos immediately come to mind when doing the Denver sports word association thing. But Denver is a bona fide big time city with four major league sports franchises.
Weirs Times Columnist Mike Moffett with a Colorado Rockie usher during a Tornado Watch delay at the RockiesMets game on June 19. were swept by our Boston Red Sox. As the Rockies were hosting the Mets while we were in Denver, we decided to head to Coors Field for that sports sociology study— which required taste testing of Coors Beer. As luck would have it, we had a lengthy rain delay, followed by a tornado watch—something that never happens at Boston’s Fenway Park. Eventually they played ball and our Rockies jumped out to a 9-2 lead See MOFFETT on 39
“When at Coors Field ...” The NBA’s Nuggets play at the mile-high Pepsi Center. Originally the ABA’s Denver Larks in 1967, they later became the Rockets and then the Nuggets in 1974. They joined the NBA in 1976 but have never made it to the Finals. The NHL’s Avalanche also play at the Pepsi Center, where the team won Stanley Cups in 1996 and 2001—when former Bruin Ray Bourque finally got his name on that trophy, after 20 unsuccessful attempts in Boston.
And then there are the Rockies. That MLB team began play in 1993, when they drew over 4.4 million fans to the Broncos’ Mile High Stadium. The team moved to beautiful Coors Field in 1995 and continued to lead the Majors in attendance throughout the 1990s, despite compiling lousy records. The Rockies finally enjoyed some playoff success in 2007, when a late surge catapulted them into the World Series, where they

Kovels: Antiques And Collecting Shell-shaped decorative objects were very popular during the 19th century. There were trinket boxes covered in tiny shells, counter bells made with several mother-of-pearl shells put together into a container, or nautilus shells used as part of cleverly shaped lamps that held a special light bulb. Some large conch shells were kept whole as decorations, often with the addition of a cameo carved into part of the shell. Glassmakers adapted the shell shape to their me-
dium, and during the late 1800s, many “shells” were made of colored glass that was decorated with enamel paint or held in elaborate metal frames. A shell-shaped cranberry glass watch holder with enameled decorations was auctioned recently. The almost egg-shaped glass was held in a gilt metal frame with leaves, flowers and a bird finial. The unusual piece, probably American, sold for $708 at a Conestoga auction in Pennsylvania. It was lined with padded fabric

Loon Chicks Are Hatching Throughout The State Public Asked To Give Loons & Chicks Plenty Of Space
MOULTONBOROUGH - T h e Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) reports that loon chicks are hatching on lakes around the state just in time for the July 4th holiday, making them vulnerable to disturbance as human activity increases on the lakes. If you see an adult loon or loon with chicks please make sure to stay at least 150 feet from them so the parents can concentrate on taking care of themselves and their chicks. If the adult shows any signs of distress such as craning its neck low over the water, thrashing about in the water, or vocalizing, please give them more space. Newly hatched chicks are small, dark and cannot easily dive, so please use caution if you are traveling by boat. “Many loon pairs will either have very young chicks or still be on the
lower than necessary to maintain a stable loon population despite management efforts by staff and volunteers of the Loon Preservation Committee. LPC biologists are hoping for a better season this year for New Hampshire’s threatened loon population, with more chicks hatched and See LOONS on 35
nest over the July 4th week,” said Harry Vogel, Senior Biologist/ Executive Director of the Loon Preservation Committee. “In either case, it’s imperative that we give them some space to minimize disturbances at these very vuln er able times in their life cycles.” In 2017, Loon Preservation Committee biologists recorded 168 loon chicks hatched, but 25% of those chicks did not survive. Last year loon breeding success was

Let ‘Em Go And Let ‘Em Grow by Tim Moore Contributing Writer
Catch and release can be a controversial topic. Opinions vary about whether it is ethical to kill a trophy fish to have it mounted. I know anglers who wouldn’t dream of releasing a trophy fish. I also have colleagues in the guiding industry who either won’t allow clients to keep trophy-sized fish (their clients know this ahead of time) or charge a fee for keeping a trophy. Some anglers believe a skin mount looks better than a fiberglass replica. It usually boils down to personal preference and what many anglers were raised to believe. Either way, it’s an often-heated debate and I thought I’d share some of my thoughts on the matter. I recently visited Sequoia National Park with my girlfriend Sam. The Giant Forest section of the park contains a concentration of giant Sequoia trees, some as ancient as 2100 years old. During our time in the park, it became apparent that the main reason these trees aren’t allowed to be cut is because once they’re gone, they’re gone. There may be many smaller sequoias in the forest, but for various reasons, many will not live long enough to become giants. Environmental factors, such as storms and disease, will kill many trees before they have a chance to become giants. The ones that will live long enough to become giants… well, it will take more than a thousand years. It struck me while walk-

Giant sequoias, like giant fish, are slow growing and not a dime a dozen. ing among, and learning about, the giant sequoias, that the same can be said for many trophy-sized fish. With most fish, the older they get the slower they grow. For instance, a 35” lake trout can be over forty years old. Their growth rate starts off reasonably fast, but slows to a crawl after their sixth year, and continues to slow throughout their life. When you add factors, such as disease, competition for food, and fishing pressure, you can knock many of the older fish off the list of trophy hopefuls. Additionally, many fish in a given water body will establish an average and a maximum size based on water quality, forage base, competition for food, and genetics. A March 2001 study conducted by the Maine Department of Inland
Fisheries (Google “Lake Trout Plan” to read it for yourself) showed that due See MOORE on 29

It’s amazing when you realize that you have been doubly blessed with something in your life. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, you feel a certain elation or happiness. Well we beer aficionados received a one-two punch recently as last week’s focus beer from Bell’s Brewery released Two Hearted Ale into New Hampshire. It is one of the most balanced ales I’ve tasted. (Read the article online at weirs.com) Well this past week, another great brewer released their highly coveted, medalwinning masterpiece into the state as thirsty imbibers awaited. We focus today on the wondrous Sip of Sunshine from Lawson’s Finest Liquids. Owners Sean and Karen Lawson started their brewery in 2008 with a 1 barrel brew system in Warren, VT after nearly 20 years of homebrewing experience. Picking up award after award for their brew talent, Lawson’s continued to grow into a 7 barrel system in 2011. Lawson’s Finest has captured awards in recent years at the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, and the National IPA Championship, creating heightened interest in their brand. Their flagship, Sip, was so widely sought after that they contracted Connecticut’s Two Roads Brewing in Stratford to help meet the demand. This fall, they plan to open a new facility in the Mad River Valley of Vermont with expanded brew capacity, tasting room and restaurant. And with an eye to conserva-

tion and the economy, they strive to re-use or recycle as much of their production by-products as possible while supplying jobs to local residents. Find out more at LawsonsFinest.com While Lawson’s also produces
many versions of mapleflavored beers and variations of IPA’s, their crowning achievement has to be Sip of Sunshine. “This lupulin-laden India Pale Ale…” as their website text begins to describe just how much hop character Sip holds for you. Lupulin is the flavoring oil in the hop
cones that gives the aroma and flavor in each variety. Each 16 oz can of Sip pours brilliant orangegold in hue with a commanding white head. Aromas from above the glass will lead you to tropical fruit, citrus, grapefruit, pine, and sweet floral notes. The hop bittering is late proceeded by juicy citrus complexity and medium mouthfeel. This 8% double IPA will fully hold your attention as you rest into the entire glass… truly an amazing beer! BeerAdvocate.com has officially rated Sip of Sunshine as ‘World Class’ and awards it a 4.57 out of 5. Other followers are rating it as high as 4.75 out of 5.0, while RateBeer. com sang its praises to a 100 rating! You will hopefully be able to find Lawson’s Finest Sip Of Sunshine at Case-nKeg in Meredith and other fine beer providers. It will be one beer that will be tough to obtain but worth the effort!\ Jim MacMillan is the owner of WonByOne Design of Meredith, NH, and is an avid imbiber of craft brews and a home brewer as well.

Evacuation. Desfor was an Associated Press (AP) photographer who covered WWII and other events in troubled parts of the world. To show its appreciation for his challenging work, the Associated Press assigned him to Florida in 1950 as a staff photographer. Instead, he chose to cover the Korean War. Desfor remembered
that his AP boss said, “That war won’t last more than two weeks.” He spent three dangerous years in Korea from 1950-1953. Using a Graflex camera, he captured the people’s plight and the world of the American soldiers who fought in that war. Even though he was a professional photographer, he lived like a soldier, suffering in the extreme cold and witnessing the
horror and destruction that surrounded the Americans while recording images with his camera. He remembered making his best photos when the North Korean army took the city of Pyongyang. To avoid capture, he and his reporter fled town and made it over the Yalu River on a pontoon bridge in a jeep driven by a signal See DESFOR on 19
This stunning Max Desfor photograph show Koreans trying to make their way across a bridge over the Yalu River after the North Koreans had captured the city of Pyongyang.

corps photographer. Immediately after crossing, he looked to his right and saw an old bridge covered with people. The bridge had been destroyed during bombing, yet people were crawling over the bridge to escape the North Korean army. Climbing a ridge, he found an overlook. Conserving his 4×5 Pan X 100 ASA film, he made just a handful of images in the freezing weather. While covering the Korean War, 20 of his photographs were submitted by the AP for consideration by the Pulitzer Prize Committee. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1951. Desfor, who died this year at 104 years of age, was a friend of Cyma Rubin. “Six or seven years ago he called me concerned about many negatives he had from Korea,” said Rubin. “There were well over two hundred of them and he thought they might get ruined as they were kept in his basement.” AP didn’t have the much interest in them and gave Rubin permission to take them. “I put them in my archive at North Carolina State University, so they would be safe and they sat there for about a year,” said Rubin. During that time in 2014 Rubin was working on her Pulitzer Prize winning photography collection exhibition that was going for its third trip to South Korea. “That exhibit consisted of two Pulitzer Prize photography winners for each year (one for Feature Photography, one for Breaking News Photography),” said Rubin. “Since it had only been four years since our last time in Korea with that exhibit that meant there were only eight new photographs which wasn’t so exciting.” Thinking that maybe she could use an extra picture or so from the Pulitzer from the submissions. Rubin decided to look at Max Desfor’s photos in her archives. After getting digitized versions she realized they were all from the Korean War during 1950 and would make for a great

Cyma Rubin, curator of “The Forgotten War:1950” also curated the “American Soldier” exhibit last year at the Wright Museum. exhibit. “It was really a revelation,” said Rubin. “I didn’t think there had ever been an exhibit about Korean War in Korea and you had several generations who were wondering what happened to their fathers, grandfathers, etc.” This all happened about five weeks before the Pulitzer exhibition so there was a lot of work to be done in a short period of time including designing the exhibit, deciding on which of the 200 photographs to use, producing a book to go along with the exhibit as
well as creating text panels for each photograph in both English and Korean. “I decided to design the exhibition in the style of the 1950s,” said Rubin. “The wall color was a cocoa brown which was popular in the fifties and the photographs were framed with white matting and each one was individually lit as though they are coming right a you.” Cyma was in Seoul doing some finishing touches on the exhibit when she noticed some ladies who were looking at the exhibit and

The exhibit will be at the Wright Museum through August 12th. It will later be on display at the St. Petersburg Museum of History and then to the Harry S. Truman Library in 2020 for eight months. “We invite all to take this rare opportunity to see these iconic images of what has been called a ‘Forgotten War,’” said Michael Culver,

trip to China. In 1978, he left the AP to become a photo editor at U.S. News & World Report. A year later, he was named director of photography. He died on Feb. 19, 2018, in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was 104.

MOULTONBOROUGH -Castle in the Clouds is kicking off summer with their 4th annual Castle Car Show, an event for adults, youth, and families. Featuring automobiles from across generations the show has become one of the Castle’s biggest events of the season. The annual tradition on the grounds of the historic estate attracts car enthusiasts and spectators from all over New England. “All types of autos from throughout time are welcome.” says Programs and Volunteer Coordinator, Stephanie Poole. “While our car show draws in many antique and classic cars, in past years we have had Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and even current-year Corvettes.” Poole says each year there are cars as touched by time as the Castle itself, with past shows including models made as early as 1915. This year, the oldest vehicles currently expected to attend are a 1933 Ford Model 40 De-
luxe Five-Window Coupe and a 1933 Chevy Corvette; the newest is a 2005 Ford Thunderbird. “It places an interesting perspective on time, seeing cars that were made nearly a century ago still up and running.” Poole continued. “We love that many of the owners that bring their vehicles have worked to restore and preserve them, just as we do with the Lucknow estate.” More auto registrations are coming in every day and will be accepted all the way up to the event. Last year’s Castle Car Show included about 150 vehicles and over 600 spectators, and an even bigger turnout is anticipated for the 2018 show on July 7th. The event will take place in the field by Shannon Pond, with free spectator parking, food trucks, and a booth for this year’s Castle Car Show sponsor, Columbia Classic Cars. Prizes will be awarded at the event in various categories, with this year’s featured category being
The 1950s. Vehicle registration for the show costs $25 per vehicle, and includes one driver and one pasSee CASTLE on 33

to genetics and fishing pressure, many of the lake trout in Sebago Lake will max out at 21”-24” long. This is because there isn’t enough food for them, and anglers want to keep the biggest fish, leaving mostly smaller fish. The cycle continues until there aren’t many (or any) big fish left. For the deer hunters out there, taking all the trophysized fish out of a system is the equivalent to taking all the beautiful whitetail bucks out of an area, leaving only scraggly smaller bucks behind. Scraggly bucks usually breed more scraggly bucks, until all you have left are scraggly bucks. The difference being that sometimes another “beautiful” buck could wander into the area and breed. Not the case with most fish. Most trophy-sized fish are old, and they are usually of prime breeding size/age. With fishing, you’re dealing with more of a closed system with limitations that don’t apply to wildlife, such as the ability to move from one water body to another. However, just like anything, there are exceptions to every rule. Some trophy fish are near the end of their life and removing them from the system won’t hurt or
change much of anything. In fact, removing the older declining fish can help the system by preventing them from creating more unhealthy fish. The trouble is, the only way to know if a fish you catch is near the end of its life is to educate yourself (thoroughly) on how to determine the age of the species in question and make an informed decision. I’m personally a fan of replica mounts over skin mounts. I’ve seen the best of both and I prefer the look and longevity of the replica. I also appreciate the fact that the replicated fish still swims. I want to emphasize that I respect an angler’s right to keep and kill a trophy fish when the law permits it, but like anything, just because you can, doesn’t mean you always should. If you find the right replica artist, you can have the same fish, for around the same price, hanging on your wall, and it will look the same 20 years from now, unlike many skin mounts I’ve seen. Who is right is a personal matter and a decision that is up to the discretion of each individual angler. I’m not one to judge, but I do feel sad and disappointed when I see pictures of a dead trophy fish that was killed
simply so it could be hung on a wall. Tim Moore is a full time licensed NH fishing guide and the owner of Tim Moore Outdoors LLC, offering New Hampshire fishing charters on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Tips to Stay Safe Outdoors This Summer (StatePoint) Getting outdoors this summer? Keep in mind that weather patterns can be extreme at this time of year, introducing new safety hazards. Get weather-ready in the following way. Prepare for the Heat -When planning a day outdoors, most people pack items such as sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. However, summer heat can be dangerous if you’re not prepared, so consider the following: make sure your vehicle’s air conditioning is in good working order well before a trip, have a rain umbrella on hand to shield you from the sun, as well as frozen water bottles and instant cold packs that can help cool you down quickly. Lastly, make sure you have plenty of water on hand when traveling with pets, and be sure to keep them out of unattended cars where temperatures can quickly reach fatal levels. Know What’s Coming - Before heading to the pool or packing that picnic lunch, check the weather report to make smart decisions about where the day will carry you. For 24/7 access to accurate weather information, you can keep the world’s largest, fastest-growing and most trusted provider of weather forecasts and warnings at your fingertips with the AccuWeather app for your mobile device. Available on iOS and Android, the app can help users prepare for intense heat, lightning, beach hazards and other hazards. It also provides access to educational resources on the health impacts of different weather events, including safety tips and resources, personalized weather preparedness plans, detailed checklists and more. Helpful year-round, the
app can be particularly informative in summer, with its wealth of tips and resources on topics like staying safe in extreme heat and preparing for tropical storms. To access these resources and download the app, visit AccuWeather. com/Ready. Don’t Be Bugged - Take precautions against bug bites, particularly mosquitoes, which can be carriers of the Zika virus. Experts are warning that those located in or traveling to the southern United States should take precautions to guard against the disease, especially if you are already or planning on getting pregnant. Be sure your backyard is drained of standing water. Use citronella candles to ward off bugs. Apply insect repellent on hikes and other times you’re in buggy areas, and if possible, avoid skin exposure during dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.

Upcoming Events On Nh Heritage Museum Trail In July
The New Hampshire Heritage Museum Trail has a lot to offer in July with unique and exciting events for families and history buffs alike. Some of the events include the American Independence Festival at the American Independence Museum, Summer Discovery Days at the Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm,a Car Show at the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire and interesting historical presentations at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum. In the Seacoast Region of The Trail, the American Independence Museum in Exeter will host the American Independence Festival in Exeter on July 14. The Festival features food, music, ale, reenactments, Traditional Artisans’ Village, vendor marketplace, museum tours and more. Guests will hear traditional music throughout the festival and can grab a bite to eat from several local nearby food trucks on Swasey parkway, which is also home to several battle re-enactments. Brewed by Redhook Brewery, American Independence Ale will be served in Folsom Tavern, a venue in which George Washington once dined. On museum grounds, guests may enjoy demonstrations by nationally renowned traditional artisans, a “village” sponsored by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. One of only 26 remaining original copies of the Declaration of Independence will be on display at the museum—and its delivery to the town in 1776 will be recreated to kick off the festival. To learn more about the festival, visit www.independencemuseum.org. In the Merrimack Valley portion of The Trail on the same day, July 14, the Aviation Museum in Londonderry will host its fourth annual Car Show. In addition to the iconic and classic cars on display, there will be a 50/50 raffle,

In the Lakes Region branch of The Trail, Summertime Discovery Days at the Remick Museum in Tamworth Village offer children, ages 7-11, hands-on learning experiences with farm-based subjects. Discovery Days, which take place on July 12 and 26, feature cooking, farming and investing in a green thumb. On July 12, children can experience “Let’s Make a Cake” in which they can make a blueberry cake “the old fashioned way” without any mix or a mixer. After putting their cakes in the oven, the children will make their own whipped cream and herbal iced tea. “Let’s Make a Cake” will also enable children to feed chickens, gather eggs, pick blueberries and grind wheat – all the steps needed to create the cake ingredients. The July 26 program is “Creating with Wool,” which provides a firsthand experience with fleece, as participants can see the museum’s sheep, learn to wash fleece, understand its uses for fleece and more. Children also will make a bookmark and take home
some wool and needles to create their own projects at home. To learn more, visit www. remickmuseum.org.

legally. If the Kumbaya leaders of the Abolish ICE campaign were limited to ragtag millenials demanding the whole world operate like an Oberlin College co-op or Fantasy Island, it would be easy to dismiss. But their ranks are spreading: Organizers of the Women’s March, endorsed by celebrities, journalists and Democrats, announced this week that the “call to #AbolishICE is a call to eliminate the agency that has been terrorizing immigrant communities for 15 years. Women from all backgrounds must take up @conmijente’s call to #FreeOurFuture.” Mijente, a Latino activist group leading the Abolish ICE movement, proudly displays on its Twitter home page a huge “Chinga La Migra” banner. (Translation: “F--the Border Patrol.”) Endorsing the movement, The Nation magazine dubbed ICE a “massdeportation strike force is incompatible with democracy and human rights.” Reps. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., Jim McGovern, D- Mass., Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and nearly 20 Democratic congressional candidates have all called for eliminating ICE.
Boston-area Democratic congressional candidate Ayanna Pressley wants to defund ICE because it’s an “existential threat” to “immigrant communities.” And New York actressturned-Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon declared that “ICE is a terrorist organization.” Silly Cindy is campaigning to destroy ICE’s entire 20,000-person workforce, which handles not only enforcement and removal operations, but also homeland security investigations combating criminal organizations illegally exploiting our travel, trade, financial and immigration systems. That includes international smugglers of women and children, drugs, weapons and cash. So, how exactly do these ICE-melters propose to deal with criminal alien fugitives, such as the estimated 300,000 deportation absconders who’ve been ordered by immigration judges to leave the country? How about the 40 percent of illegal aliens, from the pool of between 11 million and 30 million immigration lawbreakers, who overstayed their visas and are on the loose doing heaven knows what?
And when will these noble 21st-century abolitionists be stepping up to open their homes to the members of the ICE Most Wanted list, which includes illegal aliens wanted for murder, aggravated homicide, narcotics and human trafficking, and membership in terrorist organizations? I don’t just question their patriotism. I question their sanity. Michelle Malkin is host of “Michelle Malkin Investigates” on CRTV.com. Her email address is writemalkin@gmail.com.

ever AFL football game? (Answer follows) Born Today ... That is to say, sports standouts born on July 5 include former USC Trojan and Tampa Bay Buccaneer football coach John McKay (1923) and star NFL wide receiver James Lofton (1956). Sports Quote “If it were on the ballot in Colorado, I’d vote to lower the drinking age.” - Pete Coors Sports Quiz Answer The Broncos won that inaugural AFL game 13-10 over the Boston Patriots before 21,597 fans at Boston University’s Nickerson Field on Friday, Sept. 9, 1960.
Inspired by Weirs Times outdoors columnist Amy Patenaude, sports columnist Mike Moffett found an easy trail at 11,000 feet in the Rocky Mountain National Park. MOFFETT from 9
behind back to back to back home runs by Nolan Arendo, Trevor Story, and Ian Desmond. Denver held on for a 10-8 victory to snap an eight-game home losing streak. So it was a fun game with a happy outcome. And unlike Fenway Park, the seats could accommodate people of size. And “of Coors,” I tried some Coors. Not bad, though I prefer Sam Ad-
ams. I wished I could find a park that had comfortable seats, Sam Adams, AND Red Sox. Then it occurred to me that I could hit that Trifecta on Sept. 18 when the BoSox visit Yankee Stadium, of all places. Seems like a good date for more sports sociology!

how could they? Trump almost certainly hurt himself, but the damage shouldn’t be exaggerated or the opportunity for recovery minimized (assuming that migrant kids can be returned to their parents expeditiously, despite the insane legal and bureaucratic obstacles). In signing his executive order reversing course on family separations, Trump flipped from representing a splinter view to associating his opposition with one. Family separations were unpopular

-- less than a third of people supported them. But even fewer people support so-called catchand-release, permitting migrants to enter the country pending a court date. In a CBS News poll, only 21 percent say they want to temporarily release families into the country. An Economist/ YouGov poll found that 19 percent favor release. With Democrats now banging on Trump for wanting to detain families together, they represent the minority view. The public wants migrants to be treated humanely, but it doesn’t want them to walk into the country. Of the various options that the CBS News poll gave people for dealing with the migrants, the one that had the most support, by far -- 48 percent -was returning families
home together. This is the opening for Trump. He’s always benefited from his opponents going too far, in part under the pressure of his provocations. If he can make it clear that he wants to deal with migrants at the border decently but firmly, and that his opposition favors rules and limited detention space that effectively mandate catchand-release, he’ll be in the stronger political position, again. On immigration, his advantage is the one thing that the public knows about him. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

Claremont “a place that fosters discussion and debate ... where a student could learn to deal with controversy.” No more, wrote Mac Donald in a City Journal article titled “From Culture to Cupcakes.” “College once promoted an understanding of Western culture,” she says. “Today ... there is an enormous bureaucratic infrastructure dedicated to teaching students that they’re victims.” She calls that the diversity bureaucracy. “UCLA has a Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (who) makes $445,000 a year. The Berkeley Division of Equity and Diversity Inclusion has a $20 million budget.” She warns, “There’s a co-dependency between
the exploding diversity bureaucracy and these narcissistic, delusional students who act out little psychodramas of oppression before an appreciative audience of diversity bureaucrats.” Really? I pushed back. “Psychodramas of oppression?” “Do we believe in objective reality?” she replied. “These students ... are among the most privileged human beings in human history. To be at an American college with educational resources available to them that the Renaissance humanists would have killed for. (Yet they) think of themselves as victims. That, to me, is a very sad state of delusion.” These “victims” now feel entitled to censor other people’s speech, but differences won’t be resolved without debate.
Politicians don’t help when they encourage their supporters to get rough, as Trump did on the campaign trail and as Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., now has. At least the college kids may outgrow this behavior. We’re stuck with the politicians. John Stossel is author of “No They Can’t! Why Government Fails -- But Individuals Succeed.” For other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit www.creators.com.

Game,” about the phenomenon of “renormalization,” whereby larger, more moderate groups appease small minorities simply to avoid certain costs. That can happen when reasonable people stop standing up to advocates for mobocracy, afraid that doing so will alienate their most vocal supporters. Waters has always been a fringe figure. Perhaps she’ll remain so. But there are no guarantees. And we shouldn’t be sanguine about the prospects of quashing radical tribalism. It’s not quite
as easy as putting out a few tepid statements. Ben Shapiro, 34, is a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School, host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” and editor-in-chief of DailyWire.com.

Maj. General John Sullivan. tained. They called themselves members of the Congress of New Hampshire who were chosen by the people to pursue the public good, “and in Particular to establish some form of Government.” Imagine setting up a new government. If you were called upon to establish one, what would you do? Were those 18th century colonists up to the task? The government they established included the following statement:“…Pursuant to the Trust reposed in us, WE DO RESOLVE That this Congress Assume the Name,Power & Authority of a house of Representatives or Assembly for the Province of New Hampshire.” They went on to choose twelve persons “to be a Distinct and Separate Branch of the Legislature.” This branch named a Council and they proceeded to choose five persons from Rockingham County,two each from Strafford, Hillsborough,and Cheshire Counties,and one from Grafton County. This Council was to name a President to be
their presiding officer. It has been observed that there was no executive or judicial branch of government established as part of this first of the State Governments to be formed. It should be further admitted that it was not favorably received by all the residents of New Hampshire. As has already been pointed out, there were some who still felt the State should be loyal to British rule over their affairs. Historian Belknap wrote that the convention was composed “chiefly of men who knew nothing of the theory of government, and had never before been concerned in public business.” Historian Stackpole, however,insisted that the record of these men proved that “they were not ordinary men”, but knowledgeable persons who also had advice from wise men in New Hampshire and other colonies. He wrote that “In every state legislature a few men of brains and education lead the rest, and it must have been so then.” He names Meshech Weare, Matthew ThornSee SMITH on 47

Meshech Weare of Hampton Falls was its President. Interestingly enough Weare, Sullivan, and Langdon were the State’s first three Presidents, followed by Josiah Bartlett when the title was changed to Governor. The legislature, on September 10, 1776, voted to change the name of New Hampshire from a colony, which might imply that it was still under British rule, to a state. Remember that previously it was designated a province. Though New Hampshire appears to have worked closely with the Continental Congress in set-
ting up the state government and participating in the process of gaining independence from Great Britain, there was a lot of political disagreement, even concerning the form of government. I find it interesting to read the opinions of the
historians. Belknap says that those first legislatures had acquired so much knowledge that they found it “improper for a legislative assembly to consist of one house only.” A later historian Stackpole, in response, indicated that the opinion that there has to be two houses of legislature is “an ancient error”, a n d g oes on to sta te that “the Senate of the United States has sometimes blocked the wheels of progress. The Upper Houses of the States are often controlled by the rich. Is it not getting to be about time to try the experiment of one house of legislation, that shall truly represent the voice of the entire people?” Despite the differences the people of New Hampshire, already having adopted their own road of separation from Britain, were ready to send Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, and Matthew Thornton to sign the Declaration of Independence, making way for the birth of a new nation.
