IMAGES OF THE PAST THOM HINDLE COLLECTION

COMPLIMENTARY

“Images Of The Past” Highlights Early 20th Century Photographers Through the month of October, The Art Center in Dover will be presenting a unique exhibit culled from a massive fifty year collection of original glass plate negatives taken by early Twentieth Century photographers using large wooden plate cameras mounted on tripods. “Images Of The Past -The Thom Kindle Collection” includes images from the over 100,000 glass plate negatives that Hindle has collected over the last fifty years.

“It has been a labor of love trying to save the work of a dozen New England photographers,” said Hindle who is also the head of the Woodman Museum in Dover as well as a teacher at the University of New Hampshire. “When I started back in the late 1960s collectors did not want “glass” they were after tintypes and DAGGS. You needed a darkroom in order to obtain an image off the plates. I set up a darkroom with an old Elwood 8x10 glass See HINDLE on 35

For those who need an occasional dose of inspiration, there are plenty places to look—to include the sports world. And within the sports world, there are few better sources of inspiration than Randy Pierce. Randy is blind. The blindness came about suddenly when Randy was 22, and it naturally devastated the active and athletic young man—a UNH graduate and hardware design engineer. For a while, he just stayed in his room, where he could find his way around—angry and bitter. But eventually he himself was inspired to

action, as he tried to make sense of his situation and become an active and contributing citizen. According to his website, Randy found ways to enjoy football, basketball, baseball, and even darts. His advancement in karate through his seconddegree black belt helped him improve focus and orientation. It helped him overcome the challenges associated with blindness. His passion for the New England Patriots resulted in his being named “2001 Fan of the Year.” In 2002 was inducted as a fan into Pro Football’s Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Inspiring, yes? In 2012, Randy climbed all 48 of New Hampshire’s 4000 peaks in a single winter season—winter offering fewer challenges in terms of footing. But later he accomplished summer ascensions as well. He climbed Africa’s highest peak—Mt. Kilimanjaro. Then he completed the Boston Marathon. The list of Randy’s accomplishments goes on

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

I Won’t Be There

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Campaign season isn’t just hard for us candidates, it’s also a strain on you, the voters. I take this into consideration as I travel across the state in meeting people and getting the word out about my latest candidacy for governor of New Hampshire under the Flatlander Party banner. (We really don’t have a banner, that’s just cool political talk.) Unlike some of the other candidates (I won’t mention her name) you will not see me popping in at local diners and eateries to meet potential voters just as they are about to enjoy a nice hot and nourishing breakfast. After all, is there anything worse than sitting down to your morning meal - maybe a nice ham and cheese omelette or a stack of steaming hot buttermilk pancakes dripping with homemade butter and real Maple Syrup -and just as you are getting ready to dig in as the saliva builds on the corners of your mouth you have to put everything on hold while someone campaigning for office stops by your table to chat? Being the polite person you are, you put down your knife and fork and look at the candidate, seeing their lips moving but not really hearing a word they are saying. Politely nodding your head as you hear “blah,blah,

blah, blah blah”. All the time catching quick glances at your omelette or flapjack stack as the heat dissipates slowly turning your breakfast, the love of your life at the moment, into a lukewarm pile of what could have been. Desperate times call for desperate measures and you will often do anything, short of murder, to end the conversation and get back to your hardening meal. Usually telling them “you’ve got my vote” is the most efficient way to end the misery. After all, that’s all they are they are there for in the first place. You will never see me at New Hampshire diners interrupting your meal while spouting a lot of things that probably will never be. I have been there, I feel your pain. You also won’t see me, as you will the other candidates, showing up at county fairs or bean hole bean dinners or marching in holiday parades. Nothing ruins a fun day out with the family than a bunch of politicians working the crowds. Instead of relaxing and having fun, you find yourself constantly on the lookout for where the candidate is lurking, strategically plotting your next move so as to keep out of their line of fire. So how will I meet the people? I will be where they are at their worst, where they are their most miserable. The checkout line at the supermarket on Saturday or waiting at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I will be with the grumpy, early morning folks who haven’t yet had their breakfast, blood sugar low, who are waiting at the hospital to

have blood drawn for their cholesterol tests. Any place where potential voters are at their worst is where I will be. I will share in their misery, be one of them, truly feel their pain. If you see me pop into your local diner or show up at your community event, you won’t have to sigh or even run for cover. I will be there like you, just trying to enjoy these nice moments with family and friends without any unnecessary interruptions (i.e politicians). But if you happen to be somewhere you don’t really want to be, but life dictates you must, that is where you will most likely see me campaigning. (Presently, I have my tech people working on some simple campaign ads that will play after two minutes of being on hold with a business you have no choice but to be on hold with.) I look forward to meeting you during these times of stress and frustration. Sharing our time in the most miserable ways that man has created. (And woman too… almost forgot how careful we have to be with our speech nowadays.) So the next time you are out enjoying some time to yourself this campaign season, you won’t have to worry about me ruining your day. If you see me, chances are your day has already been ruined. I ask you to remember that this November 6 (or whatever day is Election Day, I forget.) Bon Appétit! Brendan is the author of “The Flatlander Chronicles” and “Best Of A F.O.O.L. In New Hampshire” which are available at his website www. BrendanTSmith.com.

Stop Google’s Kiddie Data Predators No consent. No disclosure. No escape. For legions of unwitting students and teachers across the country, this is the dangerby Michelle Malkin ous, de facto Syndicated Columnist data policy Google has imposed over their school districts. An estimated 80 million students and teachers are now signed up for free “G Suite for Education” accounts (formerly known as Google Apps for Education); more than 25 million students and teachers now use Google Chromebooks. A Google logon is the key to accessing homework, quizzes, tests, group discussions, presentations, spreadsheets and other “seamless communication.” Without it, students and teachers are locked out of their own virtual classrooms. Local administrators, dazzled by “digital learning initiatives” and shiny tech toys, have sold out vulnerable children to Silicon Valley. Educators and parents who expose and oppose this alarmingly intrusive regime are mocked and marginalized. And Beltway politicians, who are holding Senate hearings this week on Big Tech’s consumer privacy breaches, remain clueless or complicit in the wholesale hijacking of school-age kids’ personally identifiable information for endless data mining and future profit. Over the past several years, I’ve reported in my column and CRTV.com investigative program on edutech plundering the personal data and browsing habits of millions of American schoolchildren. Remember: State and

federal educational databases provide countless opportunities for private companies exploiting public schoolchildren subjected to annual assessments, which exploded after the adoption of the tech industry-supported Common Core “standards,” tests and aligned texts and curricula. The Every Student Succeeds Act further enshrined government collection of personally identifiable information -- including data collected on attitudes, values, beliefs and dispositions -- and allows release of the data to third-party contractors thanks to Obama-era loopholes carved into the federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act. The racket includes Facebook’s Digital Promise partnership with the U.S. Department of Education and the social/emotional behavior tracking system of TS Gold (Teaching Strategies Gold) targeting preschoolers. Yes, preschoolers. The Big Business-driven Project Unicorn promotes “data interoperability” between and among a cornucopia of edutech products vying for your kid’s clicks and data. And despite getting caught data-mining students’ emails without consent, Google continues to infiltrate classrooms and family rooms. Parents, did you get notice before your child signed on to a Google account? In many districts, school information officers usurp your family authority and are logging on your sons and daughters en masse without your consent or knowledge. You don’t get to see the terms of service, the privacy policy or the G Suite agreement between Google and your school. Even if parents do receive notice before their kids are dragooned into G World, opt-out

Should You Believe All Accusers? This week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was eating at a restaurant with his wife, Heidi Cruz, when he was suddenly accosted by a group of “anby Ben Shapiro ti-racism acSyndicated Columnist tivists.” These activists grilled Sen. Cruz on whether he believed the threedecade-old sexual abuse allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s pick to replace former Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. “Do you believe survivors, sir?” one of the protesters asked. The group then began chanting, “We believe survivors!” in increasingly vociferous tones. Eventually, Cruz and his wife were forced to leave the restaurant. The question was, of course, improperly formed. It assumed facts not in evidence, namely that every allegation against

Kavanaugh is true. By labeling all of those making claims “survivors,” the protesters simply asserted the conclusion of a case they had yet to make. The question isn’t whether one ought to believe “survivors” -- of course one should. The question is whether everyone who alleges sexual abuse is, in fact, a survivor of sexual abuse. And the answer, clearly, is no. Jackie, a woman who alleged being gang raped at a University of Virginia frat house in the pages of Rolling Stone, leading to a national uproar, was lying. When Emma “Mattress Girl” Sulkowicz was a fourth-year Columbia University student, she alleged that she had been raped by a foreign Columbia student. She was lying. Crystal Mangum alleged that she had been gang raped by members of the Duke lacrosse team. She was lying. In order for us to determine whom to believe, we must come up with a standard for belief. “Believe all women” just won’t

UN Assembly; What a Difference a Year Makes! UNITED NATIONS -Con-

trary to last year’s General Assembly, the looming threat of a possible nuclear war with North by John J. Metzler K o r e a d i d Syndicated Columnist not dominate the sessions. Rather Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautiously praised the ongoing process in defusing in tensions on the Korean peninsula where both the U.S. and South Korean governments have striven for a diplomatic solution over North Korea’s nuclear proliferation. What a difference a year makes! President Donald Trump’s measured but firm address to the Assembly stressed the narrative of Standing up for America in the world while “pursuing security without apology.” Last September, amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula over Pyongyang’s nuclear proliferation and missile firings, President Trump firmly confronted the threats with blunt rhetorical deterrence. He famously called the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un “Little Rocket Man” and warned that nuclear threats to American territory or that of our Asian allies would not be tolerated. The world held its breath; many expected war between the U.S. and North Korea. Fortunately diplomacy prevailed.

Decisively the Trump Administration played a diplomatic card, and with the support of South Korea, held the Singapore Summit. As the President stated, “The missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction. Nuclear testing has stopped,” significantly adding, “though much work remains to be done. The sanctions will stay in place until denuclearization occurs.” Donald Trump did not solve the problem, but stopped the ticking nuclear clock. Now comes a harder part, keeping up the diplomatic momentum with South Korea and China to help convince North Korea to follow through. This year the President saved his toughest words for the Islamic Republic of Iran, “Iran’s leaders sow chaos, death, and destruction. They do not respect their neighbors or borders, or the sovereign rights of nations.” The President stressed that the multilateral Iran “deal” over curbing Tehran’s nuclear research and development was a notable mistake. “The Iran deal was a windfall for Iran’s leaders. In the years since the deal was reached, Iran’s military budget grew nearly 40 percent. The dictatorship used the funds to build nuclear-capable missiles, increase internal repression, finance terrorism, and fund havoc and slaughter in Syria and Yemen.” He justified pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, reached by the previous U.S. Administration, adding that tough economic sanctions would be re-imposed on

Tehran’s rulers; “We cannot allow the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism to possess the planet’s most dangerous weapons.” The European Union’s Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini differs, “Iran has continued to fully and effectively implement its

nuclear-related commitments.” Significantly the geopolitical pendulum has shifted from Pyongyang to Tehran. U.S. political and economic pressures on Iran have produced an almost sullen pushback from the Europeans.

Lessons Of Innocence Leave it to Senate De m o c r a t s to degrade the proceedings of the “World’s Greatest Deliberative Body” beyond their by Ken Gorrell 1991 lowContributing Columnist point discussing “pubic hair on a Coke can.” When the stakes are high, Democrats go low. Advice and consent; if only the Founders could have known how their posterity would weaponize this simple check and balance on Executive power. Last week Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh accused senate Democrats of replacing “advice and consent” with “search and destroy.” That is exactly what they did. When the Clarence Thomas tactic failed 27 years ago, the lesson Democrats learned was that next time their accusations needed to be more criminal and emotionally wrenching. The party of “bimbo eruptions” and the organized smearing of credible victims of sexual assault is now telling America we have to believe unverified and unverifiable accounts of teenage sexual activity from 35 years ago just because the accuser was a woman. The focus of Democrats is never people; it’s always politics. Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley, and Paula Jones had to be discredited in the 1990s because they threatened Bill Clinton, their champion on the issue of abortion. (Remember former Time and Newsweek reporter Nina Burleigh? That delicate flower of womanhood told the Washington Post in 1998, “I would be happy to give [Clinton] [oral sex] just to

thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.”) I can’t imagine that’s the liberation Helen Reddy had in mind when she recorded “I Am Woman.” The Left’s latest presumed threat to Roe v. Wade is Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Instead of kneepads they donned boxing gloves. As fighters they showed all the class of Mike Tyson, perfectly willing to bite off an ear if it would help them win. The narrative Democrats have been trying to sell for weeks is that, in matters of sexual assault, all women must be believed. That’s quite a change from their position during the Clinton presidency, but let’s ignore the obvious inconsistency and examine their narrative away from the political realm. Let’s put it to the test in the real world. The Innocence Project is on a mission to “free the staggering number of innocent people who remain incarcerated, and to bring reform to the system responsible for their unjust imprisonment.” It is not part of a vast right-wing conspiracy. Its website provides case studies of people it has helped free from wrongful incarceration. People like William Barnhouse. In 1992 Mr. Barnhouse was found guilty of sexual assault. His 22-year-old accuser, a woman who had been raped, provided the police with the description that led them to pick up Barnhouse. The victim identified him as her attacker at the scene and testified against him at trial. She was believable and believed. He was convicted and sentenced to 80 years in prison.

Weather-appropriate clothing and footwear are recommended, along with flashlights or headlamps for extra light to find your way. And of course, costumes are encouraged! In the event of inclement weather, this event will have a rain date of October 13th. To access the event, use the 586 Ossipee Park Road entrance and park in either the hiker parking lot across from the bottling plant or in the main parking lot. This event is generously sponsored by Mill River Wealth Management, Pickering House Inn, and TMS Architects, with pumpkins kindly donated by Moulton Farm of Meredith, NH.

Yours truly and Danielle on Wonalancet Out Door Club’s Brook Path near the Wonalancet River Falls also named Locke Falls after a nearby farm. The two mile end to end trail closely follows the bank of the river the entire distance. The Brook Path is well marked, the water crossings are bridged and it is a splendid hike on one of the shorter paths in Ferncroft area. When we pulled into the Ferncroft parking area there were no other cars. The weather wasn’t great and there was a threat of rain forecasted for later in the day but we wanted to go hiking just the same. Danielle wanted to hit some of the Wonalancet Out Door Club’s trails that she needed to collect for her redline. Redline refers to hiking every trail and Danielle is working hiking/redlining every trail in the AMC White Mountain Guide. She has hiked over half the trails so far. Gordon Path, Red Path, Pasture Path to Mt. Katherine, Tilton Spring Path and McCrillis Path-Blueberry Ledge Trail, along with a couple of short road walks with only repeating one section of the Pasture Path—this was a

six mile outing. Danielle collected just over four miles of new-to-her trails for her redline. Best yet is that these are nice short paths that are much less traveled than the popular trails in the area. These paths are well taken care of by the WODC and all the water crossings have foot bridges. Ferncroft is also where the trails begin for Mt. Whiteface and Mt. Passaconaway, peaks on the 4,000 Footer List. Less traveled means less erosion and most often a softer gentle path. In the AMC White Mountain Guide, under suggested hikes in the Mt. Chocorua and The Eastern Sandwich Range chapter, Mt. Katherine is the first easy hike recommended. Hiking to Mt. Katherine alone is about three miles

round trip and can be done from Ferncroft via Blueberry Ledge Trail to

Sample Plates Ever wonder how the rich American families in the 18th century bought their dishes, glassware and other necessities from foreign countries? Many of the best sets of dishes came by ship from China. If you lived in a major city like Boston, a shopkeeper would show you samples. The shopkeeper also might draw a picture of your family crest or initials, or designs of flowers, leaves and geometric border patterns. Some shops had actual sample plates made with multiple borders. The sample plates were sent from the Chinese factory to be used for special-order dishes. It could take up to two years to send the order, have the dishes made and ship them to the customer in Boston. A joke among antiques collectors is the story

& COLLECTIBLE S E U Q I T S AN FALL SALE! Up to 75% Off

about one set of specialorder dishes. A blackand-white design drawing and color directions for a set of dishes were sent on a ship to China. The set came back and it was an exact copy of the directions. The blue-and-white design showed the borders and initials, and each had the blue words added that read “paint this red,” “paint this green,” etc. Of course, the Chinese workman couldn’t read English, and he thought the letters were part of the design. We are told a plate from this set does exist in a museum. *** Q: Is my G.I. Joe doll worth anything? A: In 1963, Hasbro marketed a new doll for boys. They realized a boy wouldn’t ask for a doll, so they sold the G.I. Joe doll as an “action figure.” The toy was a huge success, and it was followed by comic books, video games and more. G.I. Joe was discontinued in 1978, but it was soon put back into production. Today the high-priced G.I. Joes

Exploring ThE lEgEnd & lorE of our graniTE STaTE

I Read It In The Newspaper – Last Century’s by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. Contributing Writer

I enjoy reading the old newspapers, say, from a hundred years or so ago. In them I find information that is unlikely to be found in any book; I learn how people talked and thought in past years, and I find some of the printed material to be humorous, even when it wasn’t meant to be. The local newspapers may not always give us news that has far-reaching impact, but any news is important to someone. For example, consider the news from East Canterbury, New Hampshire, sometime over a hundred years ago. “Mrs. Caron is working for the Larkin Soap Co., may she meet with success. – Mrs. Otis Sargent has been spending a few days with her brother, U.S. Whitehouse. – The Shakers have a new Erie City engine in place of the old one which they tore out a while ago. They have commenced work on the barn. - Frank Chaplin is going to Concord this week. - Miss Hattie M. Hill is able to sit up half an hour each day.” Those little bits of news makes one wonder what the whole story consisted of, but those correspondents obviously assumed that their townspeople knew. One hundred years ago the United States was participating in World War I, but in the Spring of that year there was also an automobile exhibition

In reading his column one would immediately expect that the writer exaggerated a little when you read that there were three million exhibitors showing their flivvers at the show located at a big hall in the Back Bay( If you read old newspapers you might also discover some words you aren’t familiar with. A flivver was a “cheap car”, also called an affordable automobile.) Whoever the writer was wrote about meeting Charles Cram of Meredith fame a few minutes after he entered the auto show arena “ in the basement on the same spot where I once paid a quarter to see a woman bite the head off a snake at a food show once.” (His words). He also saw Virgil White of West Ossipee who was the sole exhibitor from New Hampshire at the space of booth number 210 in the

basement. Mr. White was showing his snow attachment which he claimed “…will go on any car and take any car through the snow anywhere and when Mr. White says anywhere he means what he says.” Whatever the device was it was described as being “on the caterpillar order not unlike the much talked about Tanks ‘over there.’” Other men from

by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer

Collaboration is at the heart of all good design. Ford Motor Company, in their earliest years, created a vehicle born from concept, structured through necessity, ease of use and provided the public with a means to travel. IGA Supermarkets (Independent Grocers Association) saw the need to connect farmers with produce buyers. They created some of the first chain markets in the country through their inventive spirit and willingness to help the little guy that helps to make this country great. Today we see collaboration as a way to a means. So our focus beer this week is about people coming together to make something wonderful. Mayflower Brewing Company is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts and was founded in 2007 by the tenth great grandson of John Alden, captain of the Mayflower in 1620. They are dedicated to brewing unique and quality ales for New England. Using traditional ingredients and brewing methods once employed by the early settlers, Mayflower offers year-round beers, seasonal favorites and specialty one-off small batch beers celebrating new collaborations. Packaged at the brewery in cans, bottles and kegs, they provide New England with the taste of great craft beers. Find out more at their website, MayflowerBrewing.com or on www. facebook.com/MayflowerBrewingCo. To tie in the lead paragraph here, the collab-

UNIT 4 Double IPA

MAYFLOWER BREWING CO Plymouth, MA

orative part of this beer is that is was designed and brewed by a number of beer representatives from around New England. They were offered a chance to try to combine a few of their favorite tastes within a beer style. They all decided that the current popularity of the Double IPA style allowed them the broad canvas that would be Unit 4. But what about the name? Simply put, Unit 4 is the fermentation tank designation at the Mayflower brewery… Poured heartily into a pint glass to help enhance the white foamy head and lacing properties, the deep gold and copper hues will shine brilliantly in a late afternoon sunset. With a potently sweet nose of mango and banana fruit. Tastes follow the nose as you enjoy the first impressions. Boozy in nature

and potent flavors, robust Galaxy and Citra hops begin to shine through as the fruit subsides. This very special 8% ABV Double IPA has a wonderfully thick mouthfeel of malt, then hops closely chasing. Late experiences of slightly sour fruity essences arrive at the end of your last sips. BeerAdvocate.com has officially rated this beer ‘Exceptional’ and awarding an 4.02 out of 5. Followers also rated it as high as 4.26 out of 5.0 telling us that Unit 4 is amazing. But do not delay in looking for this one-off beer since it will disappear soon. You can find it at Case-n-Keg, Meredith and possibly elsewhere for a very short time. Cheers! no disappointment!

NH Perks Versus European Quirks Moving Up? Moving Out? by Dale Helen Maguire Contributing Writer

Have you ever watched or tried moving a large piece of furniture up a narrow staircase to a second or third floor? If you have you probably remember vividly the anxiety of twisting and shoving the bulky

you might be skeptical. After all there are so many small old houses (by American standards) with staircases that are narrow and winding. The apartment buildings, if they even have elevators, they have only a two- to four-person (max) capacity; which no matter how you twist and shove- some things just

dows were not like US sash windows, but rather they were typical European wide windows that were designed to open like French doors (split and they swung inward). Hinged like this allowed for a larger opening-so that many furniture items; including a washer and dryer, could fit through. But, you

Once, my dad suggested a solution to such a situation when we were moving from a second story apartmentlower the sofa down from the balcony with ropes. The ropes, banister and sofa broke. I wouldn’t suggest trying that- unless the ropes are heavy duty and the banister sturdy. Backs might have been saved- but it was costly in the end. Good thing, no one was killed! Believe it or not, such moving stress is not an issue in most European Union (EU) countries. But, if you have seen any movies shot in Europe

won’t fit. It is true. We lived in both a second-floor apartment with one of those two-person elevators and a three story ‘row’ house in the Netherlands. The row-house had very narrow- almost circular staircases between the floors. The actual steps were so narrow that I had to continually remind our boys, who were six and three at the time, to make sure they walked along the outside wall where the stairs were wider; otherwise there was no room on the narrowed inside step for their little feet. Interestingly, in this place, the laundry room was on the third floor. How did they get stuff like our Queen bed and a washer and dryer up those narrow stairs, you ask? They didn’t. They brought them through the windows. These win-

Parade Of Homes Projects To Be Judged In preparation for the annual Parade of Homes being held this Columbus Day Weekend, Oct. 6-8th.

Eleven beautiful homes are on the tour this year for the judges to evaluate in the towns of Laconia, Meredith, Moultonborough, Wolfeboro, Ashland and Hebron.

The highest number of points in each category will determine the winners in that category and then all the points will be

tallied to determine the coveted, Best In Class. Meet The Judges Roy Sanborn is a NH native, a sales associate with Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty in Meredith, NH and has been a REALTOR® for 18 years.

Create a Healthy Foundation For Fall Plantings

by Melinda Myers Fall is a great time to start a garden or renovate an existing planting bed. The soil is warm while the air is cool – a perfect combination for establishing new plantings. It is also a great time to prepare gardens for the next planting season. Investing time up front to create a healthy foundation for your plants will pay off with years of beautiful, healthy and productive gardens. When you read plant tags and seed packets you’ll find that the majority of plants prefer moist well-drained soil. Unfortunately, most gardeners aren’t growing in plant-friendly soils. Heavy clay, sandy and droughty soils are much more common. Understanding what you have is the best place to start when creating a healthy soil foundation for new and existing gardens. Start with a soil test. Contact the local office of

your Extension Service or state certified soil testing lab for details. They can direct you on how to take a soil test and where to send the sample. The test results will tell you how much, if any, fertilizer, lime, or sulfur is needed. Following soil test recommendations can save you money spent on and time applying unnecessary soil additives. Plus, following the results will increase your gardening success. While waiting for the results you can do a bit of analysis yourself. Soils are made of clay, sand, and silt particles. The feel and cohesive nature of this sample will tell you a bit about your soil. Take a handful of soil and create a ribbon by rubbing it through your thumb and index finger to get a feel for your soil type. If the soil easily forms a ball or rolls into a sausage shape, feels slippery when wet and smoother

when dry, you have a high percent of clay in your soil. Soils with a high percent of the very small clay particles are often called heavy soils. They stay wet longer and hold onto soil nutrients. Clay soils are slow to dry out and warm up in the spring. Avoid workSee MYERS on 26

ing them when wet. This leads to compaction and clods you will be contending with all season long. Soils with a larger percent of sand particles don’t form a ball when moist and feel gritty to the touch. The much larger sand particles create bigger pores in the soil for water and nutrients to move through quickly. They tend to be nutrient deficient, fast draining and dry. But they warm up and dry quickly in the spring. Silt feels smooth like flour when dry and soapy slick when wet. They are the middle-sized particles that hold water and nutrients longer than sand, but not as much as clay particles. Silty soils drain slower and stay colder longer than sandy soils in

the spring. Overworking soils with a high percent of silt leads to crusting and compaction, decreasing drainage and water infiltration. Consult your soil test report when preparing your new garden beds. Prior to planting is the easiest time to add organic matter to any of these soil types. It increases the water-holding ability, the infiltration rate so less water runs off the soil surface and builds plant-friendly soil structure. Incorporate several inches of compost, aged manure or other organic matter into the top eight to twelve inches of soil. Further improve your soil by using a slow release fertilizer with a high percent of organic

matter like Milorganite (milorganite.com). The 85% organic matter feeds the soil microorganisms and your plants as it improves all soil types. You get multiple benefits with this type of fertilizer. So, as you plan your new landscape additions this fall, include testing and amending the existing soil into your plans. Understanding your soil can help you create a strong foundation important to the health, longevity and beauty of your gardens and landscapes.

Then they fill out the back with their favorite house number. After they have visited their last home they drop their ticket in the People’s Choice box.

Center located in Laconia have been learning about home construction on a miniature level, by building a tiny house. The Huot Technical Center, a regional center servicing students from Laconia, Gilford, Belmont, Inter-Lakes, Franklin and Winnisqum Regional High School, begin each school year with first year students learning construction basics and second year students building a tiny house. Lakes Region Builders & Remodelers Association (LRBRA) members helped oversee the students, mentor, offer support and aid with the strategic planning of the build. Kurt Clason, President of Lakes Region Builders & Remodelers Association, said, “Our Association has supervised this build project from the start, working hand in hand with the students and building instructors at the HTC. It takes months of planning, generous donations of materials and close involvement with the members of the LRBRA to keep a watchful eye

on the project to insure it meets standards and safety.” The Tiny House is built on the 24-by-8 foot trailer and features many amenities. The 192 SF home plus 80SF loft area features running water, electricity, a full kitchen, tiny appliances including a refrigerator, storage and a bed/loft. Given the home’s size, plenty of functionality is packed into it, from a 32”x32” shower to a 4-burner gas range and an exterior gas grill hook-up. The heating system features a mini-split to provide both heat and air conditioning for year round comfort. B u i l di n g i n s t r u c t o r , Matt Towle, states that the tiny house may be small but includes a list of cool features such as a repurposed American wooden library ladder that came from a telephone company in Amsterdam, NY, for access to the loft. “We have a fair amount of technology “infrastructure” to support the involvement of The Sound Resort out of Gilford,” noted Towle.

So much of the space includes dual functionality including a built in to help house electronics that will also hide the wheel well when you walk in and keep everything for the entertainment tidy. The listing price for the Tiny House is $54,995, with the proceeds going directly back into the program to buy materials for this year’s tiny house,” Clason said, noting we want the program to be self-sustaining. There’s a real need for workers in a variety of industries. Some of which are not always in the spotlight. A r e c e nt s urv ey from National Association of Home Builders revealed ninety percent of sub-

contractors are reporting shortages of rough carpenters. “We’re seeing an older generation, baby boomers starting to retire,” Clason said. “Now, we’re doing everything we can to get these younger generations interested in the trades.” The public is invited to the 3-day open house this Columbus Day weekend, October 6, 7 & 8th from 10-4pm. Admission to the Tiny House is free. The house will be staffed and open for tours in the parking lot at Patrick’s Pub in Gilford, NH. It has been added as a “tiny bonus” for visitors to see during this year’s Lakes Region Parade of Homes Save $10 Off event. www.lakesregionwith this cou pon paradeofhomes.com

cut it, because not all women should be believed. Neither will “innocent until proven guilty,” because the court of public opinion isn’t a criminal trial. But the answer lies somewhere in between: We should examine the merits of the allegations, the credibility of the accuser, the corroborating evidence. If we fail to do that, we’re not actually engaged in fact-finding -- we’re engaged in confirmation bias. So, where do we stand with Brett Kavanaugh? To date, three allegations have been made against Kavanaugh. The first, by a woman named Christine Blasey Ford, seems credible on its face: She says she was at a party with Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, and that the two of them forced her into a room, where Kavanaugh pressed himself on her, tried to remove her clothes and stifled her screams. But Ford has

been less than forthcoming about testifying; has provided no date, time or location of the alleged abuse; and hasn’t provided any corroborative evidence. All the witnesses she has cited have denied knowledge of the case. Then there’s Deborah Ramirez, who claims that in college, Kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face at a drunken dormitory party. She told her story to The New Yorker at the behest of Senate Democrats. She freely admitted, as The New Yorker wrote, that “her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident,” and explained that she spent six days “carefully assessing” her memories. No witnesses of the event have come forward. Again, this was at a party. Finally, there’s Julie Swetnick. She came forward via Stormy Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, and claimed that when she and Kavana-

ugh were in high school, they both went to parties in Maryland during which boys formed “gang rape” lines and spiked the punch with Qualuudes. Swetnick graduated high school three years before Kavanaugh. The story seems incredible on its face. So, no, it wouldn’t be fair to condemn Kavanaugh based on this evidence. Not all accusers are automatically survivors. It’s our job to determine whether each individual accusation merits belief. And if the answer is no, that isn’t an indicator of sexism. Sometimes it’s an indicator than an allegation just doesn’t have enough support.

of truck mounted lift). Our moving company had their own electricpowered lift. They placed it behind the moving truck and extended it to one of the upper story windows. Workers were stationed both at the back of truck and up in the window. Once a few boxes and/or furniture were placed and secured onto the metal ‘platform’ they pushed a button and the platform slowly travelled up to workers waiting in the window. When the items were brought-in and the platform was empty, it was sent back down to the truck for the next load. Unfortunately, as you can imagine, it was a long arduous two-day process, even though we didn’t have that much stuff at the time. These lifts are used for other purposes as well as moving. Most popular is for roofing and renovation projects. Old construction materials are

sent down on the lift and new materials up. Pretty ingenious. Having European windows and a lift would have been welcome last summer when we helped move my son into his third-floor apartment in Derry. Nope- no elevator! Dale is a Laconia resident.

negative enlarger and for a number of years helped many historical groups reproduce their negative collections. The photographers whose careers had spanned the life of glass plates were being wiped clean from the history along with their work.” That prompted Hindle to track down the families of local photographers and grant them a new lease on life. “I tracked down photographer families, purchased and saved the old plates from attics and lofts in the barn,” said Hindle. “All would have been damaged by the elements had I not removed them and now have them in archival sleeves.” Hindle lugged many heavy boxes from those attics and lofts into his old Pontiac Station Wagon and then back to his home in Dover. “I didn’t know what I was going to do with

them, but I knew I didn’t want to see them destroyed,” said Hindle. “I would remove the negatives from the old envelopes, make contact prints, then wrap and sleeve with archival envelopes. The collection covers subjects from all over the country but mostly around New England and upstate New York.” Many of these images have been resurrected into framed, handcolored or sepia toned prints and range from the highlights of Dover’s heyday to the missionaries and miners of the Old West. “The glass plate negatives are especially difficult to maintain, not only by virtue of their brittle nature, but also as a result of the process used to form the negative,” said Hindle. Hindle keeps his plates meticulously stored and cataloged in metal filing cabinets, each in its own protective acid-free

sleeve and further protected by climate controls that even out temperature and humidity.

“To help support this project I have decorated medical, professional business facilities, banks and restaurants with wall art,” said Hindle. “Most recently TD BANKS in Rochester and Dover and the new Market Basket in Rochester have used images from the collection.” The negatives range in size from the postcard 3 x 5 up to 16 x 20. Most are 8 x 10 taken with old wood cameras mounted on heavy wooden tripods. “This was back when photographers selected the right location and lighting, then set up their equipment setting the correct exposure

and usually did it in one take,” said Hindle. “Glass plates cost money. Not like digital where you take a dozen images, select the best then adjust on the computer at home. The old timers had to get it right on film.” The exhibit at the Art Center in Dover will feature many images that have never been on exhibit and cover topics related to: Transportation Steam trains, street cars, vintage bicycles-motorcycles, automobiles, an old Jenny airplane at Hampton Beach, original 1950s Hampton Toll Booths, and single bay See HINDLE on 36

A few antique cameras used to create the images will also be displayed.” Besides the Art Center exhibit, Hindle has his own galley “Images Of The Past” Gallery in Dover where he has amassed that staggering collection of glass plate negatives that summarize the huge body of work of 35 photographers. “Images Of The Past -The Thom Kindle Collection” runs from October 5th-October 27th.

Pasture. Another option is to park at the Wonalancet White Church on Rte 113 and take the Red Path to the Pasture Path (there is no parking on Ferncroft Road at the Red Path trailhead). From the north end of the Ferncroft parking area we followed the Gordon

Path sign and the blue blazes that distinguished the path from the old logging road and ski trail. The Gordon Path is only 1.2 miles long over rolly terrain through the woods. We popped out into the edge of someone’s yard and followed the driveway and crossed their bridge over the Wonalancet River

From here we walked back to the White Church and a short distance up Ferncroft Road to the Red Path. There is a nice big sign that reads “Red Path” pointing the way left up a private road. We kept our eyes open and found the trail where it entered the

woods. A recent logging operation has been done nearby but has caused no harm to the path. The Red Path ends at the Tilton Spring. Water filled the stone walled pool along with a lot of mud and leaves. It was a hundred years ago or more that farm animals

Danielle thinks it might be nice to finish her redline on top of Artist Bluff in Franconia. We scampered down and went straight past the spring to the other end of the Pasture Path. Then we turned left and went up the McCrillis Path and then turned left on the Tilton Spring Path that brought us back to the spring. We then repeated the section of the Pasture Path since it was the most direct path back to our car. We had a lot of daylight left and our jaunt around the paths had not worn us out.

It closely follows the bank of the Wonalancet River all the way. I guess it is called the Brook Path because it feels more like a big brook. It was flowing well since it had rained the day before and the cascades were a sight and the falling water roared. I met Danielle just above the old mill building near bottom of the lovely Wonalancet Falls this was close to mid-way of the path.

should do the Brook Path. When I redlined the Brook Path years ago my husband Charlie dropped me off at the top and he drove around and hiked upstream to meet me. End to end the Brook Path is 2 miles long. We decided to do it the same way. I dropped Danielle off at the Brook Path trailhead across from the Cabin Trail on Route 113A, about a half mile east of the White Church. I drove east 1.7 miles on Rte 113A and right after crossing the bridge over the Wonalancet River I took a hard right onto

a narrow gravel road. I parked my car in a small parking area on the right, there is a sign “Parking for the Brook Path” but it is nearly impossible since trees have grown in front of it. There is a sign pointing up the road, don’t be confused by a forest road to the right, continue up the gravel road and watch for a narrow opening to the right. I walked past it the first time but knew I had missed it when the road became steep. I backtracked and found it, the sign was blocked from view by trees. The Brook Path is won-

PET OF THE WEEK

“Durham” Durham is a 9-year-old black and white cat who came to CVHS as a stray back in June. This majestic lady has come a long way since her arrival, and is patiently waiting for a home where she can receive the unlimited attention she craves! Life on the streets was not kind to Durham, and her physical condition showed it. When she arrived at the shelter, she was nearly bald and suffering from a severe foot injury. Durham has come a long way, and she has the luscious coat to prove it! There’s nothing Durham loves more than plopping down in your lap and soaking up as much love as possible! She never tires of head scratches or back rubs, and adores being the center of attention. She enjoys being the queen bee of the house, and needs to be in a home without other animals. Durham is a laid-back lady, and would prefer a family without young children. If you have room in your heart and on your lap for this lovely gal, come meet Durham at CVHS!

the discontinued pipeline that fed water to the mill. The section between the top and the bottom of the falls is short, steep and rooty and it is the only “not easy” footing of the Brook Path.

I gave Danielle the key to the car and she headed downstream. As I traveled upstream and I watched the brook get slower and wider as the terrain became more level. All streams and the river crossing have bridges and the trail is well marked. This is a splendid path and on a hot day there are numerous places where I’d consider wading in the water. Danielle came driving

up the road, I only had waited a minute or two. There were two more miles of lovely trail that we might have overlooked if it weren’t for trying to hike every trail in the Whites. Have fun.

Contrary to North Korea, petroleum rich Iran offers commercial and trade opportunities and thus achieving consensus becomes far more difficult. Washington’s renewed focus on Iran’s nonproliferation and military aggression in Syria and Yemen poses a dilemma for many European countries whose lucrative contracts are in the wind. The world nervously watches the new showdown.

Based on DNA testing, Barnhouse was released from prison and charges were dropped in 2017. He had served 25 years for a crime he didn’t commit. Angel Gonzalez served 20 years for sexual assault and kidnapping. The victim positively identified him even though his appearance differed from her original description. Having four alibi witnesses was not enough to keep this innocent man from prison. DNA testing in 2015 freed him, correcting a mistake made by a woman who was sure she was right. Joseph Abbitt was wrongfully convicted of rape based largely on victim identification and testimony. Despite having a strong alibi from his employer, he was sentenced to two life terms, plus 110 years. He served 14 years before conclusive DNA testing freed him from the injustice of a victim’s error. The women who ruined these men’s lives were clearly victims of sexual assault. Each one identified and testified against her alleged attacker in good faith. Their accounts were credible and put to the test in courts of law

where the men were given the presumption of innocence. But the system failed these men. While these accusers were wrong, they had no political motives. These women thought they were serving the cause of justice. Coming forward within hours of suffering horrific attacks and testifying in court took courage. What we saw last week from Senate Democrats and a Democrat activist accuser (whose GoFundMe account is worth more than half-a-million dollars) was the opposite of courage. It was a staged political circus, an act designed to cloak a raw power grab as a women’s justice issue. If it doesn’t succeed this time, it might the next if believers in Constitutional government don’t expose and extinguish the perversions of the #MeToo movement. Judge Brett Kavanaugh is no Bill Clinton. He’s no Harvey Weinstein. He’s an honorable man with an impeccable record. Senators: Advice. Consent. Let justice be done.

habits were being stored on district-issued Google Drive accounts. Unbeknownst to the sisters, Google’s auto login and auto-sync functions allow the collection and archiving of non-educationrelated information across the extended family’s devices. Henderson showed me screenshots and videos of these breaches, including storage of her young niece’s personal voice-totext searches and memos and her nephew’s You-

Tube viewing records. Even worse, such information is accessible to unknown numbers of district employees. The security concerns are multiplied and exacerbated by other third-party data management systems used by Henderson’s district that “play well” with Google, such as Instructure’s program Canvas and single sign-on program Clever. As parent privacy advocate and researcher Cheri Kiesecker asserts: “Parents don’t want to just see

businesses’ policies after they get our kids’ data. We want to have consent whether they get the data, and students should not be penalized if parents choose not to share data. There also should be an enforceable penalty if data is misused.” Message to Congress: Allowing Google to dictate “frameworks” for education information grabs is like letting the fox guard the henhouse. Parents have a right to know -- and the right to “NO” -- when it

Meredith mentioned in the column as attending the auto show were Dr. George Salisbury, Bob Dennis, Irville Prescott, Dr. Royal Sanborn, Capt. Oliver Woodman, and Col. Almond Thayer. The reporter admitted that he wasn’t “ a regular auto guy” but bought a ten cent program to make it look like he was, and said he heard a lot of names of cars he didn’t recognize. He added that the show included many booths exhibiting accessories and included “ several thousand gallons of vari-colored electric lights that dazzle the stranger, a couple of jazz bands run by females ”, and some soda fountains. He emphasized that auto salesmen could make one think that the war tax price that was being charged for “these gas boats” shouldn’t make a difference to Meredith residents who had summer boarders and should be able to afford them even though they were too expensive for Boston residents who didn’t have summer boarders or timber lots. The correspondent also revealed that he did not own a car. By the way, back in Laconia, the Buick Motor Sales Company on Canal Street in was selling a 1918 Chevrolet, Model 490 at a discount. “Reason for selling, have given up the agency.” Interested persons could call 228-3. A doctor practicing in Alton, F.W. McLaughlin, apparently was not yet a car owner in that year of 1918, because his town’s reporter wrote that the doctor was returning from a call (that was when doctor’s made house calls) at Alton Gore when “his sleigh struck into a rut, frightening his horse, which ran away.” Dr. McLaughlin and his grandson fell out of the sleigh and were uninjured, though the doctor , in trying to stop the horse, was dragged for quite a distance. The unfortunate horse kept running all the way to the village where it dropped dead on Factory Street. Just

to add a thought, have you ever wondered why doctors are sometimes referred to as “practicing” ? Scattered throughout the newspapers in those days were bits of news about the war- the war that was supposed to end all wars. The associated press reported on a German raid on American lines in France that took place at 9:30 at night in the Chemin des Dames sector. “ After sharp fighting the enemy

retired, leaving four prisoners, two of whom were wounded. The Americans lost some killed and a number slightly wounded or missing. All are New Englanders.” A distinguished New Hampshire soldier was reported to have been recently

seen in Washington, D.C. Though at that time in 1918 he was stationed in Philadelphia in a responsible position having to do with providing clothing for the army, Col. Robert H. Rolfe of Concord had served in a national guard regiment during “ the Spanish war” and since had served in the regular army for twenty years. He had been stationed in Cuba and Japan as well as several places in the States. Col. Rolfe was described as a man of “striking personality” who, on that Washington visit, met an old friend from Concord, Col. Daniel H. Ginty. It was reported that when Col. Rolfe stepped into the hotel lobby in his uniform, standing “over six feet, finely put up, good looking and Chesterfieldian in his manners” , with beautiful white hair, “everybody in the lobby of the hotel ‘ sat up and took notice.’” Twenty-four names of men from Alton were listed in the same 1918 newspaper as serving in the armed services during the World War. Another activity taking place in Washington, D.C. involved the antics of a stunt plane pilot from the

45 British Army. Every day at noon for about two weeks Col. Lee had been putting on a show with his airplane, doing clever stunts in the sight of people in our nation’s capital. He was at first thought to be “showing off” until it was disclosed that he was demonstrating the skills that he thought our American aviators needed to possess to be successful in the war in the air. Col. Lee took several U.S. congressmen and senators up with him during his maneuvers, including a blind representative from Minnesota, Thomas D, Schall. All reported having “the time of their lives.” So there you have a little of what I learned from an one hundred year old newspaper. Let me add an additional comment from the Tilton and Northfield column: “No person can say that when the war is over that the young men of these two towns were slackers as up to date 85 have enlisted to cripple the other arm of the Kaiser, and by crackey they will help do it.” Robert Hanaford Smith can be reached at danahillsmiths@yahoo.com

energy not only into sports but also activism—through an organization called 2020 Vision Quest. But there is authorship in addition to athleticism and activism. Randy’s been working on a book, which he hopes to have ready for the 9th Annual Peak Potential Dinner at Nashua’s Courtyard by Marriott on November 17. Inspiring. Also inspiring are so many other initiatives sponsored by “Future in Sight,” to include a baseball game featuring the sight-impaired against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, utilizing a beeping baseball. And the sight-impaired triumphed, in what became a national story. So if or when you ever need some perspective, some context, or some hope, just go to Randy’s web site, or that of “Future in Sight.” You’ll find all the inspiration you need.
