From Meredith Center To India

The Unselfish Life Of Helen Dexter by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. Contributing Writer

She weighed only three pounds at birth in August of 1923 and her bed was a shoe box which was often kept on the open oven door of her parent’s wood cook-

ing stove, and it would be over sixty-five years later before she became a Christian missionary who brought hope to many poor girls and women in India. She was the daughter of Joseph and Marion

Smith of Meredith Center and Laconia, New Hampshire, and they named her Helen. I have known several Helen Smith’s, all who have life stories worth telling, but I will share the story of this Helen, who I did not know, but who

came from a family I have known about from my childhood. The large farmhouse her parents owned in Meredith Center was made into a hotel for summer tourists, and after it burned in See dexter on 37

The Women’s Land Army of America The Wright Museum will host the 14th lecture in its “Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2017 Educational Program Series on Tuesday, August 8th, from 7-8pm at the Wright Museum, 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH. Doors open at 6pm The WWII years presented the United States with the unique problem of balancing rival claims for labor across all industries: agricultural, manufacturing, and military. Utilizing women helped solve that issue, and Rosie the Riveter was only one of the many ways women “did their bit”. Modeled after the British Women’s Land Army, the Women’s Land Army of America operated during WWI with approximately 20,000 women. However, the organization came into its own during WWII. Recruiting over one million women, the WLAA ensured that food would be available for both the home front and the troops overseas, and the U.S. would not suffer the privation and scarcity experienced by other Allied countries. Hear first person accounts of those who planted the fields, harvested the crops, and milked the cows to keep America fed. Linda Shenton Matchett, journalist and blogger of all things historical, is the author of Love’s Harvest, a fictionalization of the biblical book of Ruth set during WWII, and Love Found in Sherwood Forest. Her third book, On the Rails: A Harvey Girl Story is scheduled for release in March 2017. A freelance writer for over ten years, her articles and devotionals have appeared in numerous print and online publications. In her “free time”,, she can be found volunteering as a docent at the Wright Museum of WWII and serving as a Trustee for the Wolfeboro Public Library. Admission is $8 per person, by cash or check. Wright Museum members are admitted for free. Space is limited, Reservations are strongly recommended to ensure sufficient seating for all. Call 603-569-1212 to reserve your seat today.

Art Historian Kristina Wilson On Monday, August 14 at 7:30pm., Gilmanton summer resident and art historian Kristina Wilson will visit the Scriven Arts Colony in Gilmanton to discuss furniture design.

She is now at work on a new book about the 1950s. Directions and more at scrivenartscolony.com.

The Fate Of Historic Steeple Is Up In The Air by Brendan Smith

Weirs Times Editor

In 1859, a steeple was erected upon the Meredith Center Freewill Baptist church. It was the first such steeple in the vicinity and it “outshined other churches in the vicinity.” Now, nearly one hundred and sixty years later, this “first” is now in danger of being no more unless the members of the church can come up with thirty-thousand dollars. The steeple has gone through a few major repairs over the years. The first was in 1948 when heavy January winds almost toppled it, the sills being broken at the base. In 1980, Lionel Turgeon who was a famous steeplejack from Berwick, Maine, rebuilt the steeple’s base and belfry, painted it and a few other general repairs. There were also smaller repairs in 1987 and in 1998 siding was installed on the church and at the same time the bell tower, once open, was closed to keep from future water damage.

The steeple on the Free-Will Baptist Church in Meredith Center was the first of its kind in the area when it was built in 1859. Today, the steeple is in need of extensive and serious repairs which will cost $30,000.

The Atom Bomb To the Editor: War is horrible. People are killed, maimed, emotionally destroyed. Property is destroyed, wealth is consumed. As we saw in WWI, even the winners lose in protracted wars. As weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in Viet Nam and Iraq, trying to conduct a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gentleâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;compassionateâ&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;politically correctâ&#x20AC;? war just prolongs the killing, suffering, destruction, and cost. If you must fight a war, the best way to lessen the suffering is to end the war as quickly as possible. This is why the United States and Japan should celebrate the anniversaries of August 6 and 9, 1945. The atomic bombs we dropped on those dates quickly brought WWII to an end saving at least 150,000 American soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and perhaps avoiding the extermination of the Japanese people. WWII in the Pacific was particularly savage. The Japanese believed in death before dishonor, and surrender was considered dishonorable. In the battles on island after island the Japanese fought to the death, taking as many American lives as possible before dying. Typically only those Japanese soldiers who were too sick or weak to fight or commit suicide were captured. Almost all the 32,000 Japanese soldiers on Saipan died, fewer than 1000 were captured. Many of the 20,000 Japanese civilians committed suicide or were killed helping their

soldiers. 3426 Americans were killed on this 44.5 square mile island. Almost all the approximately 23,000 Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima died, only about 1000 were captured. 5900 Americans were killed on this approximately 8 square mile island. On 12 square mile Tarawa, approximately 4500 Japanese soldiers died while killing 1696 Americans. Almost all the 36,200 Japanese soldiers on Guadalcanal died, only about 1000 were captured. The Japanese killed 7100 Americans. Like their soldiers on these islands, the 73 million Japanese prepared to defend to the last man, woman, and child their almost 146,000 square mile homeland. Everyone who could fight was being trained and armed; even children were taught to fight with spears. The death toll promised to be horrendous. The American forces anticipated 1,000,000 casualties including at least 150,000 dead. The atomic bombs convinced the Japanese to surrender saving American lives and avoiding the extinction, or near extinction of the Japanese people. While the death toll from the atomic bombs was high, Hiroshima 80,000 and Nagasaki 40,000, they were not extreme in WWII. The March 9-10, 1945 bombing raid on Tokyo took about 100,000 lives, the raids on Hamburg

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weirs Times and Touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper which are taken from Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic publication.

took about 42,000 lives, the raids on Dresden took 25,000 lives, raids on London took perhaps 50,000 lives. Compared to the perhaps 60-70 million Japanese that might have died in the invasion of Japan, the death toll from the atomic bombs was low and a small price to pay for the lives saved. The quick surrender resulting from the bombs provided other benefits. The Soviet Union was about to join the invasion of Japan so the quick surrender prevented the division of Japan among the US and the USSR. Perhaps more importantly the world saw the destructiveness of these primitive bombs. These convinced the civilized world to avoid use of atomic, now nuclear, weapons. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question, war is horrible. But, the longer war drags on, the longer combatants can postpone defeat, the higher the cost. There are at least 150,000 American soldiers and perhaps a few million descendants of those soldiers who lived because President Truman dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. The Japanese people have even more reason to celebrate August 6 and 9, 1945 because nearly every Japanese citizen that lived or was born after WWII owes their lives to those bombs.

*A FLATLANDERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

My Crib

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

This week Brendan shares a chapter excerpt from an upcoming book about his childhood called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Number Four Boyâ&#x20AC;? I was told I spent an inordinate amount of time in my crib as a young kid. It was my choice as well as wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. This of course, is based on what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard. A lot of these tales from my very early youth will have to be based on recollections of others, especially my mom. I can only vouch on the authenticity of the telling of the story. Still, I can make assumptions based on circumstantial evidence. The family was getting bigger and so were expenses with three boys already out and about and hungry the sixteen hours a day they were awake. I was told I was kept in the crib longer since there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plans to buy yet another bed. I am told I was in that crib till I was three. It has been said that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a crib made in the 1950s that could hold any kid with his mind set on discovering this weird and wondrous world he was being kept from discovering by a few flimsy bars and an uncomfortable mattress. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know better as far as mattresses, or anything else went. That crib was basically the command module we were placed back into after a

full day of bouncing about on the surface of this new world. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until years later that someone got the idea to make the things harder to get out of. Most likely a former baby, now grown and with an engineering degree who wanted to take the fun out of it for later generations. But babies are resilient. Straps and Velcro and alarms and bungee cords have been known to slow down the process, but only for a little while. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any of these modern obstacles in my crib, yet I never seemed to have made that Great Escape that so many others before me had. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even try, according to my mother. I would stand there, feet planted firmly into crummy mattress watching the world around me, more interested in what things seemed like than what they actually were. I say that to try and sound profound, like I had already developed my skills of observation that I would need later in life if I was to be a writer. Truth be told, though I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access what thoughts were in the mind of my younger self, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure my reluctance to place hand upon crib railing, lift and place legs, one over the other and then, hopefully, land safely upon the throw rug that gave only small padding against the wooden floor ( I had seen pictures), had more to do with my fear of the chaos that surrounded me and for what that meant for my own safety. It was the force of those other living, breathing, eating, humans that occupied the space around me that, I am sure, made my crib the Fortress of Solitude that it was. My brothers, when in their wild manic mode, had access to every sol-

id thing that existed in the house - as well as a few imaginary ones - and nothing was off limits, even when it was declared so. There was one exception, and here I am assuming again. My crib. There was no desire for them to get back in, they had served their sentence and were now loose upon society. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready yet. My limited view of the world up to this point looked pretty chaotic. If these were the people ruling this planet, then I felt safer in my command module ready to lift off if things really hit the fan. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always in my crib - this based once again merely on circumstantial evidence since my parents were never taken away for child neglect on occasion I must have joined in the mix of the turmoil that only a tenyear old, a nine-year old and a six-year old set of brothers could have been creating. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the best explanation I can give at this point. I am sure some psychologist would love to further explore the lingering effects on a three-year old boy because of his attachment to his crib and how it might shape his life today. Have at it. I can take it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big boy now.

Who Owns Border Death Truck Tragedy? Mexico! F l o r i d a truck driver James Matthew Bradley isn’t the mastermind of the human smuggling ring that led to the grisly by Michelle Malkin deaths of 10 Syndicated Columnist illegal immigrants in his rig, which authorities found at a San Antonio Walmart over the weekend. He’s just a cog in the machine. Bradley may now face the death penalty for transporting up to 100 people crammed in the trailer of his 18-wheeler. But what about the open-borders overlords making a real killing off this insatiable racket? I’m looking at you, Americabashing corruptocrats in Mexico. For years, our nation has been subjected to endless complaints, race-baiting insults and vicious attacks by politicians south of the border. Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon trashed our immigration laws on U.S. soil before the California state legislature. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox dropped F-bombs at President Trump and millions of law-abiding Americans who support construction of an effective border wall. Current Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto took to CNN’s airwaves to bash U.S. citizens who support strong borders as “exclusionary and discriminatory.” Last year, Nieto defiantly proclaimed at the

United Nations that “there are no barriers that can stop either the movement of people or the fusion of cultures.” Meddling Mexican consular officials in the U.S. have lobbied aggressively from New York to Texas to California for mass amnesty, driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, discounted tuition for illegal immigrant students, and systematic sabotage of interior enforcement and deportation policies. Armed incursions by the Mexican military have targeted our immigration enforcement agents for years. After vehemently denying a Mexican government helicopter fired on Border Patrol personnel in 2014, our “friends” were forced to admit the incident happened when Judicial Watch obtained homeland security documents detailing the attack near Sells, Arizona, on the Tohono O’Odham Indian Reservation. In fact, DHS records have tracked at least “300 documented incursions by Mexican military and law enforcement authorities onto U.S. soil since 2004” -- with few consequences for the foreign invaders. When they’re not busy trashtalking our laws, shooting at our first-line protectors or actively undermining our sovereignty, Mexican government bureaucrats are up to their eyeballs in narco-state corruption. Please note that the federal criminal complaint in the San Antonio border death truck tragedy included the statement of one Mexican trafficking victim from Aguascalientes who told authorities he met a “smuggler linked to the Zetas” cartel at the

The Stupid Party The ascension of Donald Trump was supposed to change everything in the GOP. As it happens, perby Rich Lowry haps one very Contributing Writer important thing hasn’t: The Republicans may well still be The Stupid Party. That Obamacare repeal has one or maybe two feet in the grave, depending on how you’re counting, is testament to jawdropping disarray and bad faith. On the cusp of a historic failure, the party has begun the finger-pointing, and it’s hard to argue with any of it. The establishment is right that Trump is incapable of true legislative leadership. The Trumpists are right that the establishment is ineffectual. Conservatives are right that moderates don’t really

want to repeal Obamacare. And pragmatists are right that a few conservatives are beholden to a self-defeating purity. The Republican members of the world’s greatest deliberative body aren’t covering themselves in glory. Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky have always been noes, leaving no margin for error. Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas are additional noes on the current repealand-replace bill, while Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska have joined Collins as noes on repeal-only. Then there is another tranche of Republicans, like Rob Portman, who are nervous fence-sitters. The Ohio senator doesn’t have to appear on a ballot again until 2022, yet gives every indication of quailing at taking a tough vote. For Rand Paul, clearly, a perSee lowry on 42

Tax Cuts For The Rich Though officially retired, long-time syndicated columnist Thomas Sowell still contributes his thoughts on occasion. by Thomas Sowell

One of the painful realities of our times is how long a political lie can survive, even after having been disproved years ago, or even generations ago. A classic example is the phrase “tax cuts for the rich,” which is loudly proclaimed by opponents, whenever there is a proposal to reduce tax rates. The current proposal to reduce federal tax rates has revived this phrase, which was disproved by facts, as far back as the 1920s — and by now should be called “tax lies for the gullible.” How is the claim of “tax cuts for the rich” false? Let me count the ways. More important, you can easily check out the facts for yourself with a simple visit to your local public library or, for those more computer-minded, on the Internet. One of the key arguments of those who oppose what they call “tax cuts for the rich” is that the Reagan administration tax cuts led to huge federal government deficits, contrary to “supply side economics” which said that lower tax rates would lead Syndicated Columnist

to higher tax revenues. This reduces the whole issue to a question about facts — and the hard facts are available in many places, including a local public library or on the Internet. The hardest of these hard facts is that the revenues collected from federal income taxes during every year of the Reagan administration were higher than the revenues collected from federal income taxes during any year of any previous administration. How can that be? Because tax RATES and tax REVENUES are two different things. Tax rates and tax revenues can move in either the same direction or in opposite directions, depending on how the economy responds. But why should you take my word for it that federal income tax revenues were higher than before during the Reagan administration? Check it out. Official statistics are available in many places. The easiest way to find those statistics is to go look at a copy of the annual “Economic Report of the President.” It doesn’t have to be the latest Report under President Trump. It can be a Report from any administration, from the Obama administration all the way back to the administration of the elder George Bush. Each annual “Economic Report of the President” has the history of federal revenues and expenditures, going back for

decades. And that is just one of the places where you can get this data. The truth is readily available, if you want it. But, if you are satisfied with political rhetoric, so be it. Before we turn to the question

of “the rich,” let’s first understand the implications of higher income tax revenues after income tax rates were cut during the Reagan administration. That should have put an end See sowell on 42

Loving Animals To Death We need to sell more rhino horns, quickly. That may be the only way to save rhinos from extinction. Today, rhinos vanish because poachers kill by John Stossell them for their Syndicated Columnist horns. Businesses turn their horns into ornaments or quack health potions. Some horns sell for $300,000. No wonder poachers risk their lives for one. How do you fight an incentive that strong? Flood the market! That’s a solution suggested by Matthew Markus. Markus’s biotech company can make artificial rhino horn in a laboratory that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Put enough of that lab-grown horn on the market and supply and demand will bring the price way down. Then poachers won’t risk getting killed trying to steal real rhino horn. “One way to devalue something is to create a lot of it,” said Markus. “When things are abundant, people don’t kill.” South Africa tried a mild version of this solution once. For 20 years, they made it legal to own rhinos and sell their horns. Poaching dropped because legal rhino farming took away the poachers’ incentive. Rhino farmers bred rhinos and protected them. Once in a while, they’d put rhinos to sleep with tranquilizer darts and saw off their horns. The horns grow back. The rhino population quadrupled. Win-win. But animal welfare activists

are never happy with any solution that involves profiting from nature. South Africa banned sales of rhino horn again. Poaching rose 9,000 percent from 2007 to 2014, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Now South Africa is considering legalization again, but they will have to fight the NGOs. Some, like Humane Society International, even oppose sale of that artificial horn. They asked the U.S. government to block a shipment of a sample of rhino DNA that might have created better artificial horn. I confronted the Humane Society’s spokeswoman about that. Our interview will be one of the first videos for my new project: “Stossel on Reason.” I will post videos weekly on Facebook, Twitter and Reason TV. We start this week. In this first story, the Humane Society’s Masha Kalinina passionately argues against relegalizing rhino farming and the sale of artificial horn. “This is dangerous! Absolutely dangerous for rhinos and their survival,” she says. “This is greenwashing an illegal activity. ... The problem is that people still see animals as commodities, natural resources for their use!” Yes. And why is that a problem ? I eat eggs and chicken, and I drink milk. More chickens and cows are alive because people like me pay for them or what they produce. Kalinina replied: “Are we really going to farm every single animal on this planet so we can continue endlessly supplying this bloodlust and thirst of people to consume wildlife products?” Give me a break. Farming isn’t “bloodlust.” See stossell on 43

PET OF THE WEEK

A Lie Detector Would Disqualify Most of D.C. EMAILER from M E T H UEN, Mass a c h u setts: “I am a fan of Phil Valentine. He used to be by Niel Young Advocates Columnist on WEZS on Saturdays at noon, The Best of The Phil Valentine Show. Your show came on at 3pm after his show, and I started listening last year during the presidential campaign. I must say I enjoy you and the whole gang your regular callers and phone guests Mike Cutler and Diane Grassi! ******** Is my email friend correct? Does he have something here? “. They aren’t even working at making it happen. Trump started strong on his Contract with the American People. Unfortunately, he seems to be losing momentum. He needs legislative assistance. Paul and Mitch are not putting much on his desk. The ques-

tion is who do we hold accountable for lack of results? Trump has not used the full power of the office to reach out to the American people. Tweets are great but it’s going to take more than that to get the legislative agenda off of the high center it appears to be stuck on.” ******** ANOTHER Emailer writes: “I don’t think anyone should be surprised by the vote cast last night by John McCain. You just had to listen to or read his speech to the Senate upon his return earlier in the week. That speech telegraphed his intentions. “I do believe he voted his conscience - for his country, not his party. I believe that because he was reelected last year and he has a terminal illness, medical death sentence. He’s not afraid of anyone “Not sure what will happen with health care now. They better move to tax reform soon, and infrastructure, please.” ******** Remember Lamar Al-

“KITA” Our new Pet of the Week is Kita. Sweet Kita, is such a precious girl that deserves a life free of worry. It takes time to get to know Kita, she doesn’t wear her heart on her paw, but once she accepts you she will love you and never let go. Much of her history is unknown but whatever her past may have entailed we do know Kita is scared, scared to trust. An owner who can dedicate the time to help her overcome her anxieties and insecurities, with proper socialization and positive reinforcement, will surely be Kita’s hero. A home with family members aged 16+ is recommended for this hesitant girl. Kita would prefer to be the only animal in the home however, if compatible, she may be okay sharing her space with a canine friend.

exander? Lyin’ Lamar is the Republican who said while running in the 2000 Presidential Primary regarding the get the nothing done Congress: “Cut their pay, and send them home!” It is reported that Lyin’ Lamar supported “term limits”. But, that was then, now is now for the US Senator as he is in his third term - that is THIRD! ******** Mark Meckler - conservative leader, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots and President of Citizens for Self-Governance says that “the drama and staff changes in the White House are simply a footnote to regular voters. What happens over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue doesn’t affect our lives.” What people ARE paying attention to and are angry about are the happenings in the Capitol. “People hate Congress. After McCain told the press ‘watch the show’ before killing the repeal of Obamacare - that he promised and raised money off of for seven years - we, the people, are angry! Congress should no longer have an ‘approval rating’ it should be a ‘hatred rating.’ They are an enemy of the republic.”

SPORTS, MOVIES AND DIVERSITY I’ve always loved sports and movies—especially films based on real history, like Miracle (Olympic ice hockey), Rudy (college football), Hoosiers (high school basketball) or Pride of the Yankees (Lou Gehrig). Last week I went to see Dunkirk (Dunkirk) and loved it. As British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said after England lost a soccer game to Germany: “Well, don’t forget that we beat the Germans twice in the last century at THEIR national sport!” Dunkirk’s received positive reviews, including one from USA Today’s Brian Truitt. Still, Truitt was compelled to point out “…the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of color may rub some the wrong way.” Well what rubs ME the wrong way is how some people are so consumed by identity politics that they have to count noses the way they do. Implicit in that mindset is that creators of art who don’t include requisite quotas of certain populations are insensitive, if not outright racist or sexist. Lawrence of Arabia and Patton each won Oscars for Best Picture. Neither had any females to speak of. So presumably in Truitt’s world, neither of these classics would be acclaimed today as they were in 1962 and 1970 respectively. I love Morgan Free-

THE PLACE F OR

Jordan Spieth wins the British Open man, and enjoyed the character he played in Robin Hood. But did that character really exist in England’s Sherwood Forest? Or was he written into the script in favor of diversity as opposed to history? If Dunkirk’s cast featured the diversity Truitt favors, then it just wouldn’t ring true and the contrived phoniness would ruin the movie. Does Truitt favor racial quotas? Racial quotas—formal and informal—certainly existed in the past. Boston Celtic great Bill Russell claimed that the NBA once had an unwritten rule that “Teams shouldn’t play more than two black players at once during home games, or more than three during away games. Unless they were way behind, in which case they could play five!” To paraphrase Martin Luther King, I dream of a time where movies—and teams—are judged not by the color of anyone’s skin, but by the content of their character. As well as by their Godgiven talent. GOLF’S OPEN—AND PGA The recent British Open featured a bit more diversity than Dunkirk, and when it was all over America’s Jordan Spieth emerged victorious.

him needing only a victory in the PGA to complete a Grand Slam of all four golf majors. This year’s PGA championship will be held at Quail Hollow Country Club, near Charlotte, N.C., from August 10-13. Ideally the Final Round will feature high drama, with perhaps Rory McIlroy forcing a playoff with Spieth by holing out a chip shot in the 72nd hole. But what would be even

The Shed Brewery

Middlebury, VT. theshedbrewery.com

by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer

Enjoying summer fun and activities associated with it is a tradition in the Lakes Region. Boating, water skiing, swimming, hiking and taking drives on hot days are commonalities. And since we are still in the midst of warm summer temps, we tend to compartmentalize activities with seasons. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually shift activities but we can be talked into drinking a non-seasonal beer or two. Porters and stouts are usually reserved for the colder months when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind hiding a few extra pounds under your warm sweater. And lite beers are inherently for summer outside fun. So why am I presenting you with the choice of a nonseasonal beer? Because it is very tasty and worth trying of course! So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s examine Shedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain Ale. The Shed Brewery is located at 793 Exchange Street, Middlebury, VT but was originally started in Stowe almost 50 years ago. The building where they began was built in 1830 and blacksmithing was the sole purpose there. Later hard cider was made for local farmers to enjoy and share stories. In 1965, the Shed Restaurant was opened and was the hot spot for the apres-ski culture. On a cold night in 1994, the Shed was lost to fire but was rebuilt a year later to include a seven barrel brewery in Middlebury. With a focus on Englishstyle ales, Shed Mountain Ale was born. The name Mountain Ale

D.A. LONG TAVERN certainly catches your attention and is even referred to as Rugged Brown Ale on the label. At 7.4% alcohol by volume of the 12 oz bottle, there is a mild 35 IBUs or International Bittering Units rating. With these two aspects, you can expect a malty beverage style. Tradition is found within this drink. A tankard of this pub beer might have been served from casks in local taverns in the English countryside. Pouring Mountain Ale, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a frothy offwhite head wants to take over the glass. Deep ruby clear amber tones appear through the glass in the light. Aromas of malts, maple syrup and bready notes embrace your nose. Tasting your first sip, you are greeted by more malt sweetness without being sugary. Hops are not immediately perceptible

in this fuller bodied beer which also hides its ABV very well. BeerAdvocate.com has officially rated Shedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain Ale as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Very Goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and awards it an 85 out of 100 and the Bros give it an 88. Other followers rate it as high as 4.75 out of 5.0. This is one of my go-to beersâ&#x20AC;Ś You can find both at Case-n-Keg in Meredith as well as other fine beer providers. Sold year round, the Shed Mountain Ale may also become a year round beer to be enjoyed no matter the seasonâ&#x20AC;Ś Cheers!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Stories North Of Concordâ&#x20AC;? presents a â&#x20AC;&#x153;StorySlamâ&#x20AC;? on Thursday, August 24th at 7:30pm at Pitmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freight Room in Laconia as a fundraiser for Camp Resilience A â&#x20AC;&#x153;StorySlamâ&#x20AC;? is where those interested in sharing a real-life, personal story based on the theme for the evening can register. Twelve storytellers will be selected at random and have up to six minutes to tell their story. (Not all who have a story will be picked if more than 12 names are entered). Stories can be funny, sad, inspirational or all three, but please, no politics or preaching, we all get enough of that everyday as it is. The theme for this Story Slam is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brush With Fameâ&#x20AC;? and judging will be based on how close the story is to the theme, whether or not the storyteller stayed within the allotted time and other categories. Four judges will be selected at random from those in attendance who register to be one but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a story to tell. There will also be an audience favorite. Prizes will be awarded and a good time will be had by all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storyslamsâ&#x20AC;? are hugely popular events across

the country, but very few, if any, have been held North of Concord. The hope is to bring this extremely entertaining event to the Lakes Region and north. What better way to introduce it here than with a benefit for one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite charities. Tickets are $20 and all net proceeds will go to benefit Camp Resilience.

Choosing Striper Bait

pon

Fully Insured

by Tim Moore Contributing Writer

“What are the stripers biting on?” is a question that I answer about a dozen times a day. As I write this my answer is “anything you throw at them.” Every striped bass fisherman has a favorite bait based on what they have tried, what they have been told, or what they have read. My answer for which bait to use isn’t meant to be taken literally, but it is almost true. Everyone has their favorite lure or bait. There are a few variables that will make certain baits key in producing a successful trip but one variable is paramount. One of the best and most popular methods of catching striped bass is by using live bait. Alewives, mackerel, or pollock are the stars of the show. Hook one of these popular bait-fish on your line and you’re almost assured to catch fish. Live eels are a close second to live fish for bait. Any live bait, whether it is bait-fish or eels, will swim straight to the bottom. Keep your bait off the bottom using a balloon when fishing from above or a float rig when fishing with weight on the bottom. Cut bait, such as chunk mackerel, is a good alternative when live bait is unavailable and will work almost anywhere provided you can keep the crabs and lobsters from eating it. It is a good choice when water clarity is poor, particularly after storms with high winds and heavy rains. Frozen mackerel or herring cut into 1 ½” chunks will provide a smelly and flavorful treat

for hungry striped bass who are struggling to see prey in muddy water. You want to keep your chunk off the bottom though. If you are fishing in rocky seaweed-covered bottom the current will wash your bait around until it finds a resting place under seaweed or between rocks, places that are inaccessible to striped bass but not crabs and lobsters. Suspend your bait the same way I described for live bait to keep it away from crustaceans looking for an easy meal. Soft plastic swim baits and jerk baits are exciting ways to catch striped bass, especially from shore. Paddletail shads simulate live bait and when striped bass hit them, they usually hit them hard. The boil and splash of a striped bass inhaling a Hogy soft plastic jerk bait near the surface is pretty hard to beat. Present them in a lifelike manner and they will eventually produce fish. One of the best parts of using artificial lures is the fact that you don’t have to do anything to prepare for fishing. Just grab your gear and go. If you’re fishing in or near fast current try to find an eddy. Any place that frightened and ex-

hausted baitfish might go to hide from striped bass on the hunt is going to be a good place. Look at a chart and find drop-offs. Striped bass will often target dropoffs as ambush points. Mouths of rivers and areas where rivers choke down and condense fish will be good places. When fishing calmer waters try using live eels. Get to know a little bit about the bait you’re using and it will help determine what to use and when to use it. With all the variables to consider the most important one is fun. Fish the way that is the most fun for you. If fishing equates to relaxing and sharing a cold one with friends then go with cut bait. If you’re like me, and find the casting and retrieving of artificial lures almost meditative, then get yourself some paddletail shads and Hogy soft plastics. You might not catch any fish, so having fun should be top priority. Tim Moore is a full-time licensed NH fishing guide and owner of Tim Moore Outdoors.

latest, yet they are confident that, as in the past, they will find a way to get things done. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice P. Smith compiled a history of the church in 1968. It was in 1810 that the church, known then as

the Second Freewill Baptist Church of Christ was organized by fifteen men and women. The meetings then took place in neighboring schoolhouses and sometimes at the homes of church members. In 1831, the present church building was con-

She is survived by her husband, Edward C. Patterson, son, Jeremy (Wife Melanie) and three grandchildren, Krystina, Kevin, and Kaden, brother David Vokey (wife Cindy), and numerous extended family. Denise will be missed by family and friends and remembered for, ‘wearing her heart on her sleeve’, reaching out to help people in her community and family, and doing what was right. She had a special talent for relating to people, children, and animals (especially dogs). A celebration service of her life will be held at Park Street Baptist Church, 11 Park Street, Pittsfield, NH 03263, on August 12, 2017, (Saturday), at 2:00 PM.

Meredith Center Free-Will Baptist Church members welcomed their new pastor, Jeff Laliberte and wife Roberta, at their annual meeting and luncheon held Sunday, July 10, following the morning worship service. Among those greeting the couple are Cathy Sorrell, Bonnie Kimball, Cookie Boulanger, Don Kimball, senior deacon, and Bob Franks, church moderator. Seated are Terri Carr, Bertha Beach, and Fred Fabian. Pastor Laliberte and his wife reside in Hill. structed and by 1838, there were 150 members and the membership continued to grow. In 1844 and 1845 many members requested to be dismissed as they believed the end of the world was at hand and the church did not accept that belief. Many of these members were reinstated when the later realized they were wrong. In 1854, the name of the church changed to Meredith Center Freewill Baptist Church. In 1854, the church steeple was erected. They also purchased a bell. The first bell cracked as did the second one. The third bell was fine and still sets in the bell tower. Business flourished in Meredith Center over the following years. There were two stores, grist and saw mills, a woolen mill, two carpenter shops, two wheelwright shops, four blacksmiths, two schoolhouses and a Post Office. In 1881, the church society, finding they needed more room built a vestry. In August of 1891, Corliss Field was chosen as the site for a cemetery. In 1910 a kitchen and

Though it is unclear how many members the church had at this time, it was thriving. Fred Sanborn, who grew up in Meredith Center and later edited a newspaper in Maine once wrote: “I recall the days when Rev. Oliver Butler preached two sermons on Sunday and the church was well filled. I attended Sabbath School at the noon hour while men and women, coming from a distance, ate their luncheon at the end of a wagon and talked

over farm conditions.” After the Civil War farms around Meredith Center dropped in numbers. The young moved away to cities or went west. The new railroad in Meredith Village, about four miles away, took business away from Meredith Center. At the turn of the twentieth Century, the automobile started to slowly take over for the horse. The population in Meredith Center decreased and so did the membership of the church. Today, the lone store in Meredith Center See steeple on 21

Franks is quick to point out that it is a strong base and with the new minister the church is already starting to grow again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our new minister has brought some new life to the church and we see more people coming now,â&#x20AC;? said Franks. Still, the importance of the renovations to the 170 year-old steeple is key in moving forward for the Meredith Center Free-Will Baptist Church. Members of the church, who have already raised about five-thousand dollars, are hoping that fundraising efforts and getting the word out to the local community will help them raise the thirty-thousand needed to complete the job to keep the landmark church thriving for years to come.

is now closed. It was Fred Sanbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father who built the steeple and he recalled: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great day at the Center when the bell arrived and it was hoisted into place. Captain Joseph Tilton couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until it was put into position and while blocked up he sounded it with a sledgehammer and its clarion voice rang out through the village for the first time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The steeple and bell tower are in pretty bad shape,â&#x20AC;? said Don Kimball, senior deacon of the Baptist Church today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even ring the bell at this point in fear of doing more damage.â&#x20AC;? Kimball and Bob Franks as well as other members of the church have been taking on a lot of the responsibility in keeping things running over the last year as they have been in a transition stage after losing their last minister due to health reasons. They have had four interim ministers since and finally welcomed a

new minister, Jeff Laliberte, this past July 10th. Today the congregation of the church is at about twenty-five members, but

Buying a Home: How To Know How High to Go (StatePoint) Shopping for a home? Before you begin your search, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to figure out what you can comfortably afford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The interesting thing about homebuying is that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a one-size-fits-all process,â&#x20AC;? says Mike Dawson, Vice President of Single-Family at Freddie Mac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your budget and these are your housing needs. Doing your homework to figure out what those needs are is the critical first step.â&#x20AC;? Before you start shopping, learn how much you can borrow. Free online resources, such as Freddie Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;How Much You Can Affordâ&#x20AC;? calculator, found at calculators.freddiemac. com, can help you get a handle on this figure during the preliminary stages of your search. This estimate is based on income, fixed monthly payments such as auto loans and student loans, and the terms of the loan you plan to take out. You may also consider speaking to a lender at this stage. If you qualify for a loan, he or she will provide you with a preapproval letter stating how much home you can afford and the maximum amount you are qualified to borrow. Having this letter can help show the seller that you are a committed and qualified buyer. Keep in mind that the amount your lender is willing to lend is not always how much you should borrow. You should borrow only what you feel you can comfortably repay through monthly mortgage payments. Wait to take this step until you are actually on the hunt, as preapprovals are usually good for only a limited time. When determining your budget, consider the length of your loan and the type of loan you want. Do you want to pay back

Homebuyers may have low interest rates when they first take out their mortgage loans, but the rates may increase over the loan term. If your rate changes at a reset, then your monthly payment will change too. For a full run-down on all things homebuying, visit myhome.freddiemac.

the money that you borrow over 15 years or 30 years? The longer your loan term, the smaller your monthly payments, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay more interest over time. The type of mortgage loan is important, too. With a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate stays the same through the life of your loan, as will your monthly payments. While this can offer some peace

of mind, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that such loans tend to have higher interest rates because the lender isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protected against a rise in its costs over the course of your loan. On an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) however, the interest rate may re-set every one, three or five years based on the movement of a specific index and the terms of the loan.

(StatePoint) A day outdoors can be enjoyable, but keep in mind that this UV exposure can take its toll on skin health. Researchers are identifying new potential ways to promote skin health from the inside out -- before, during and after you spend time outdoors. “Maintaining healthy DNA function safeguards your skin before and after spending time outdoors.” says Dr. Michael A. Smith, MD. According to Dr. Smith, researchers have confirmed that nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, plays a significant role in producing Adenosine Tri-phosphate (ATP), the molecule that fuels all your cells and powers their intracellular machinery. By doing so, it also facilitates healthy DNA function. This is especially important as UV exposure can affect production of

ATP in skin cells, sapping those cells of the energy needed for their protective mechanisms to function properly. Dr. Smith points out that as one ages, skin loses some of its natural defense mechanisms, however, nicotinamide has been shown to support the natural immune response needed to safeguard against the age-related effects of UV exposure. Nicotinamide is found in dairy milk, yeast and beer, but to be sure to get your daily dose of nicotinamide, consider an oral supplement, such as Life Extension Shade Factor. Formu-

lated to nourish skin from within the body, it provides 500 mg of vitamin B3. It also contains an extract that helps manage cellular changes in the body that can lead to premature aging from outdoor activity and promotes healthy DNA function, as well as Red Orange Complex, which supports the body’s natural immune response. More information can be found at shadefactorsupp.com. According to Dr. Smith, this product is not a substitute for topical sunscreens. If you love the great outdoors, there is no need to give up your favorite hobbies, even as you age and your skin becomes more sensitive. New research suggests an inside out approach may be an effective way to help safeguard your body’s largest organ.

She found missionaries that she knew who told her of a ministry in one of the poorest areas of the country, the State of Orissa and travelled alone in that strange country until she found the compound which was headed by a British pastor. Was Helen Dexter successful as a new missionary in her sixties? Or, as she put it, “…has there been victory?” Her answer is “Yes. Always there has been victory in the Lord.” “In just three years, with His provision and anointing, I directed the con-

few Christians, many people, and strange customs. This determined missionary from New Hampshire, however, loved the people and helped all those she could to live a better life as she taught about her Lord and provided opportunities for happier lives. She herself had her bouts of sickness, and in October of 1992 was confined to bed for a number of days with a fever of over 104 degrees, only to suddenly and instantly have her temperature drop to normal. Helen observed suffering and death as she ministered in one of the most difficult areas of India, but she obviously found great satisfaction in seeing lives that were transformed and those who were previously illiterate and living in extreme poverty becoming happy and healthy people because she and others like her came with loving actions and a message of hope. In the Epilogue of her book Mrs. Helen Dexter wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came through the gates of the Jharsuguda in the Fall of 1996, following a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sabbatical in the States, I was astonished to see nearly the whole population of the orphanage, staff, and two Bible schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost

She also served in Japan, being a foreign missionary for 18 years. In the Fall of 2016 Helen Dexter left this life on earth at the age of 93 to enter the heavenly realms. She is one of those who not only helped to make New Hampshire a better place, but spread her good influence to regions beyond. A fellow worker in India described her as a woman of â&#x20AC;&#x153;passion, compassion, and kindness.â&#x20AC;?

to the talk about how lower tax rates reduce government revenues and therefore tax cuts need to be “paid for” or else there will be rising deficits. There were in fact rising deficits in the 1980s, but that was due to spending that outran even the rising tax revenues. Congress does the spending, and there is no amount of money that Congress cannot outspend. As for “the rich,” higher-income taxpayers paid more — repeat, MORE tax revenues into the federal treasury under the lower tax rates than they had under the previous higher tax rates. That happened not only during the Reagan administration, but also during the Coolidge administration and the Kennedy administration before Reagan, and un-

haps once-in-a-generation opportunity to significantly reform two entitlement programs isn’t as important as scoring cheap points against his colleagues in the cause of getting as many cable hits as possible. Lee is a thoughtful, public-interested conservative who isn’t a showboater. He has an outsize influence on the prospects of the bill because he is one of the few Republicans willing to be the decisive vote against it. It’s not just senators who are falling down. President Trump has very little idea what is in the health care bill, and doesn’t particularly care. This prevents him from

der the G.W. Bush administration after Reagan. All these administrations cut tax rates and received higher tax revenues than before. More than that, “the rich” not only paid higher total tax revenues after the so-called “tax cuts for the rich,” they also paid a higher percentage of all tax revenues afterwards. Data on this can be found in a number of places, including documented sources listed in my monograph titled “’Trickle Down’ Theory and ‘Tax Cuts for the Rich.’” As a source more congenial to some, a frontpage story in the New York Times on July 9, 2006 — during the Bush 43 administration — reported, “An unexpectedly steep rise in tax revenues from corporations and the wealthy is driving down the projected budget deficit this year.” Ex-

pectations, of course, are in the eye of the beholder.

helpfully engaging in detailed negotiations, and he hasn’t made a public case for the bill except in tweets and at the highest level of generality. Repealing Obamacare was never going to be easy. The law has created facts on the ground that are inherently difficult to undo. Mitch McConnell has 52 Republican senators, whereas Harry Reid had 60 senators. But Reid held all his members. At the end of the day, the most important difference between the parties on health care may be that the Democrats had a vision that they were thoroughly committed to and were astonishingly courageous in effecting. No one had more to lose on Obama-

care than Nancy Pelosi, and yet no one was as devoted to the cause. If she becomes speaker again in 2019 after Republicans -- disunited, selfish and fearful -- have whiffed on repealing her handiwork, it will be the sweetest revenge. Like the Democrats in 2009, Republicans have a historic opportunity that will quickly vanish unless it is seized. A majority is a terrible thing to waste. Six months in, Republicans are giving every indication that is exactly what they might do, to their everlasting disgrace.

Rio Grande, where they charged “11,000 Mexican pesos for protection and 1,500 Mexican pesos to cross by raft” before loading into Bradley’s big rig of death. At the Walmart parking lot, a phalanx of six SUVs operated by the reputed Zetas-associated smugglers whisked away several groups of human chattel, who were marked with color-coded tape. Yes, that would be the same Zetas cartel that has bought and paid for top Mexican politicians for years. Last summer, a former top financial operative for the gang testified at the federal trial of Marciano Millan Vasquez that “Millan and other Zetas leaders were able to smuggle drugs, kill with impunity and launder money through real estate and government contracts because they had bribed the personal aide of former Coahuila governor Humberto Moreira,” according to the San Antonio ExpressNews. Human rights watchdogs and border reporters left, right, and center -- from the Huffington Post to Breitbart Texas -- have exposed callous Mexican government officials selling out their own people while turning a blind eye to massacres, kidnappings, extortion and racketeering across the Mexican border states. These usually mouthy Mexican leaders are now quiet as church mice about the latest casualties of open borders. Why? Because illegal immigration is the country’s budgetary bonanza. This spring, cash transfers to Mexico spiked 15

percent in March compared with the same period last year. Remittances, the majority of which are sent by immigrants working illegally in the U.S. to their Mexican relatives, topped $2.5 billion. That’s the “third largest in U.S.-Mexico remittance history, after October 2008 ($2.6 billion) and May 2006 ($2.5 billion),” according to The Hill. It’s not just what’s illicit, but what’s licit, that explains Mexico’s countenance of the mass abuse and enslavement of its own people. “No borders, no walls” means a Mexico that will never work hard enough to improve itself so that desperate people would rather pursue their dreams at home instead of stuffing themselves into sweltering death ovens on wheels. And yet we’re the ones accused of human rights violations and lack of compassion. How do you say “chutzpah” in Spanish? Michelle Malkin is host of “Michelle Malkin Investigates” on CRTV. com.

South African farmer John Hume says each of his 1,500 rhinos has 12 acres of land in which to run around. Every two years he trims their horns. That procedure is painless enough that even environmental groups perform it on wild rhinos to discourage poachers. The Humane Society claims legalization won’t stop poaching. Kalinina points out that elephant ivory trading was once made partly legal, and it “started up a new carving industry in China.” Demand increased when supply increased, she said. But that was hardly real legalization. Just a few one-off sales were allowed. To really bring

down the price, you’d need a consistent supply of cheap horns. Artificial horn could provide that. The Humane Society rejects that solution. Instead, they run ads that say rhino horn is not good medicine. It’s fine to try to educate people, but legal rhino farming and artificial horn are much better ideas. People respond faster to price signals than lectures from the Humane Society or regulations that impoverished African nations barely enforce. The NGOs’ solution has failed. Hunting bans don’t stop poaching. In fact, bans create more crime, just as government’s attempts to prohibit alcohol sales did.

43 Poachers have killed a thousand park rangers. If we stick to the Humane Society and other NGOs’ ways of doing things, the rhino and other endangered animals will disappear. Market-hating environmentalists will love endangered animals to death. John Stossel is author of “No They Can’t!
