“Birth Of A Nation” In Plymouth
ed in 2011 by Amy Marie Regan, Ian Hartsoe, Devin Swett, and Matt Wyatt. Though they don’t have a physical brick and mortar all their own yet, they showcase their collection in the Rochester Community Center and the Public Library. They feature traveling art exhibits in the Carnegie Gallery at the Library and collect art for a per-
manent collection in the Community Center. “Our collection includes outstanding examples of contemporary works made by artists from around the world,” said Matt Wyatt. “This wide range of art encompasses a variety of media including painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper.

The Rochester Opera House, built in 1908, is the home of the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts (RMFA) Short Film Festival. RMFA, which began in 2011, showed the first movie in the Opera House in over 100 years in that same year. Upgraded recently with a 28 x 7.5 screen and digital projection, the Opera House is now a central location for this and future film festivals.
A restored print of the silent film classic “The Birth Of A Nation” will be screened on January 14th at 6:30pm at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center, 39 South Main St., Plymouth. Admission is $10 per person. The program will be accompanied live by silent film musician Jeff Rapsis. Despite the racism, the film’s innovative and powerful story-telling techniques, as well as its massive scale, opened Hollywood’s eyes to the full potential of cinema as an art form, exerting a powerful influence on generations of filmmakers to come. All movies in Flying Monkey’s silent film series were popular when first released, but are rarely screened today in a way that allows them to be seen at their best. They were not made to be shown on television; to revive them, organizers aim to show the films as they were intended—in top quality restored prints, on a large screen, with live music, and with an audience.

See events on 25
John Ganong (center) will be celebrating the fifth year of his new life as a heart transplant recipient as the celebrity bartender at Faro Italian Grille in Weirs Beach on Saturday, January 9th at 7pm. Heart transplant recipient marks fifth year of new life with a Celebrity Bartender Benefit. Come one; come all to the Celebrity Bartender Benefit being held at the new Faro Italian Grille in Weirs Beach/ Laconia NH on Saturday January 9, 2016 at 7pm. The celebrity bartender will be John Ganong who will be celebrating his fifth year of this new life and would like you to join him. It all started on March 13, 2003 when congestive heart failure hit John and open heart surgery was performed at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester NH. It consisted of two value replacements and repair of an aneurism on the aorta. A few days later, the hospital installed a pacemaker to adjust the actual heartbeat. The next six and a half years went by pretty smoothly unit the left side of John’s heart got so weak it pretty much collapsed. This was December 2009. John went to Catholic Medical Center again where they shipped him by ambulance to Tuft’s Medical Center in Boston, MA. They installed a heart pump to the left side of his heart which was run by batteries and a computer, all on a vest, which he wore 24/7. The same pump, the Heart Mate, used by former Vice-President Dick Cheney. At this point, John was placed on a list for a transplant. On January 3, 2011 John got a phone call about his transplant at 7pm. He got into his car with his wife Brenda to drive down to Tufts, calling his family on the way down to share the news. The transplant was a success and today John says he feels better and better. The tips & donations John collects as Faro’s celebrity bartender will go to the Cardiac Transplant Division at Tuft’s Medical Center in Boston. John would like to say Thank You to all his friends, family, doctors and nurses who have supported and helped him over the past 11 years and he invites all to this joyous occasion in helping celebrate the fifth year of his new life. Thank you for your generous support in the past. Last year we raised $2,073 in just 2 ½ hours during a snowstorm! Over the past 4 years we’ve raised more than $8,000! It is so great to see everyone enjoy themselves at this first gathering after the New Year! There will be live entertainment Matt Langley from Axis. Come hang out with some of the nurses and doctors that saved John’s life! See you there for a great time.

Weirs Times outdoor and ski columnist Amy Patenaude (left) with her friend Becca wishing you Happy New Year and urging you to just get out and “Have Fun� this winter on the slopes. Visit www.SkiNH.com for current snow conditions.
Snow Is (Finally) Here Make It A Fun Year As another year nears its end I am gearing up to wish all my friends Happy New Year! In just a few more days I will be struggling to remember that it is now 2016. But I will easily remember my annual New Year’s resolution. I make the same one every year and that is to have fun. If you’ve ever read to the very end of any one of my columns, it ends with the words “Have Fun�. I do this because I seriously like having fun. I like having fun and I am happier when everyone around me is having fun too. I think we’re lucky that the seasons change so often around here because it forces us to change our routines and even the clothes that we wear. As the old saying goes-there is no bad weather
only bad clothing! Don’t let the weather be an excuse. The start of winter has been a bit of a letdown for those of us who love winter sports. Skiers and snowboarders know that the snowmakers have worked really hard during those short bursts of cold weather to give us as many open trails as possible. My hopes rise and fall with every weather forecast. I sure hope by the time these words are printed on the pages of this paper there is snow in the mountains and the ice rink in your town center has finally frozen over. (As we go to press the first snowstorm of the year is at our doorstep.) My favorite way to have fun is to go skiing and I was able to go quite a few times before Christmas. The day before Christmas I went to Mount
Sunapee Resort and enjoyed the last of the good snow they had made the previous week. The silly warm temperatures combined with rain really melted away a good thing. Top to bottom snow coverage on their Blast Off Trail morphed into a patchwork of bare spots of grass and mud-nobody seemed to mind. Snowboarders and skiers enjoyed the spring conditions. We were able to make nice turns in the soft snow and we were all thankful that they were able to give us the day on the slopes. There was no skiing on Christmas Day at Mount Sunapee this year. No doubt as soon as the cold weather returns Mount Sunapee’s slopes will be bright white. A week ago I spent December’s one cold Sunday See patenaude on 23

Did It? To the Editor: The Washington Establishment, the media and Republican and Democrat officeholders and other officials, are patting themselves on the back for passing a $1.1 trillion government funding package without a government shutdown. Yeah! Yeah. Yeah? What problems did it solve for the American people? Did it end illegal immigration that hurts so many Americans by taking jobs, driving down wages, committing crimes, driving up welfare costs and thus taxes, flooding schools with illegal alien children and reducing the teaching effectiveness for American children? No. In fact, it funds “resettlement” for illegal aliens. Did it at least end sanctuary cities that protect criminal illegal aliens from deportation? No. Did they stop releasing, rather than deporting, criminal illegal aliens? No. Did it fix the incompetent vetting process for immigrants and refugees that allowed the Boston bombers, the San Bernardino killers, and other terrorists to enter our country to kill and injure Americans? No. Did it fix our poor education system and provide guards to protect our children? No. But it funded the failing education establishment.
Our Story
Did it end Corporate Welfare? No, It subsidizes or gives special breaks to just about everything from abortions to zoos, including ethanol, solar energy, oil, wind energy, tobacco farmers, government bureaucracies, unions, hedge fund managers, bankers, and hundreds of other special interests. Did it fix America’s excessive tax laws and regulations that drive so many American jobs overseas? No. Almost 3000 new regulations were added this year. The cost of regulations (embedded in the things we buy) is over $14,000 for each American household. Did it fix the pending bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare? No. Did it fix America’s failing roads and bridges? No? Did it provide tax relief to stressed American taxpayers? No. Did it repeal Obamacare? No, it funded it, providing relief for many businesses and unions. Did it balance the budget? No. What did the American people get? The bill; the cost will be paid by current and future, even unborn, Americans. However, almost every special interest group got something from this bill. All 535 Senators and Congressmen are flooding constituents with messages about the “pork” they are bringing
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
home. That “pork”, a few pennies on the money citizens send to Washington, is spent based on Washington’s, not a State’s, priorities. The Senators and Representatives who voted for the Omnibus bill betrayed the American people and need to be replaced. From New Hampshire only Congressman Guinta put the interests of the American people above the wants of the special interests. Don Ewing Meredith, NH
Afraid For My Country To The Editor: The fact that Hillary Clinton is considered a viable candidate for President causes me to be afraid for my country.

As we get ready to start a new year, I would like to offer some predictions for what will happen in 2016. I made a lot of predictions for 2015 which came true, but I didn’t write them down so I can only ask you to take my word for it. I won’t make the same mistake for next year. So, here goes. Apple will expand their market to the food industry where they will create the Apple “Apple�. The first few attempts will bruise and spoil easily but, by 2017, they will have perfected it and it will be delicious. The New Hampshire legislature will pass a law making it illegal for drivers to turn their heads to look at other passengers in the car at a red light unless it is an emergency. The New Hampshire Department of Travel and Tourism will begin a new campaign to find a “thing� that best describes New Hampshire. After a year or two and tens of thousands of dollars they will once again reach the conclusion that they can’t agree on a “thing� and will just choose something else. In a surprise but clever move, one of the nominees for President will choose a Kardashian as his/her running mate finally getting the majority of the country to pay attention to how crazy politics is becoming. Unfortunately, they will win.
(By the way, I’m six-foottwo.) The newest New Hampshire scratch ticket will offer prizes as high as five million dollars and will cost a thousand dollars to play and can be purchased with a loan from the state using your home as collateral. All of the necessary paperwork will soon be available at your local convenience store where all employees will now be required, by law, to be licensed notaries. A new drug called “Wuneldoya� will be able to cure all of the side effects of all other drugs. Some side effects of “Wuneldoya� include any of the side effects of any other drug. Somewhere in the country a group will try to right an injustice by holding a protest somewhere so as to affect the livelihood of those who had nothing to do with the injustice they are protesting against. A professional athlete in some sport will break a long-standing record in that sport. This may happen more than once. Facebook will introduce a new feature called “Me� where you can comment on your own posts as fictional people when none of your real friends seem to care about a particularly mundane thing you posted. Someone under the age of fifteen will discover information on the Internet about something called a “book� and will hurry to be the first one among their friends to have one. Well, that’s about all I could come up with since my brain is getting tired. I hope these predictions have helped you in planning your upcoming year. Happy New Year!!

A new term “Climate Confusion� will enter our lexicon to describe the fact that somewhere in the world it is hotter than it has ever been before while somewhere else it is a little colder than it has ever been and somewhere else things have not changed at all. It will eventually be blamed on people’s obsession with adding cheese to most everything they eat. The production of cheese will be highly regulated. In June a Worldwide “Cheese Summit� will be held in Switzerland. The next Sta r Wa rs movie will start production. It will be called “Star Wars – You Will Pay To Watch This Movie No Matter What We Film.� A New Self Help Book called “How To Think The Thoughts That Will Change Your Life� will sell millions of copies. The success of that book will lead to the 2017 sequel “How To Really Think The Thoughts That Will Change Your Life� and 2018’s “Here Are Some Ideas For Thoughts You Can Really Think That Will Change Your Life If You Bought The First Two Books And Aren’t Having Any Luck Changing Your Life Thinking Those Thoughts.� A subtle yet eye-catching design of a field of Lupines over a green background will be voted by the New Hampshire legislature as our state’s official wallpaper pattern. Some New Hampshire towns will consider allowing those who can’t make it to the Town Meeting to join in by Skype. Purists will argue loudly against it claiming that it wouldn’t be what the towns’ Founding Fathers had envisioned so many years ago when they first established the town meeting. New Hampshire’s next governor will be taller than either of the last two.

Open-Borders Money Backs Marco Rubio Political analysis of the Las Vegas debate immigration dust-up between Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio is missing a key ingredient: by Michelle Malkin the money facSyndicated Columnist tor. You can read the lips of the candidates till the cows come home. But you’ll get to the truth much faster when you learn where pro-amnesty power brokers have placed their bets and hitched their wagons. Rubio’s brazenly fraudulent campaign to paint Cruz as soft on illegal immigration is a flabbergasting attempt to distract from the Florida junior senator’s faithful allegiance to the open-borders donor class. Here’s what you need to know: Facebook, Microsoft and Silicon Valley back Marco Rubio. Mark Zuckerberg is a social justice CEO who panders to Hispanics with his pro-amnesty, anti-deportation advocacy; Facebook is an H-1B visa dependent company working hard to obliterate hurdles to hiring an unlimited stream of cheap foreign tech workers. It’s no coincidence that Facebook’s lobbying outfit, FWD.us, was waging war on Sen. Cruz online this week in parallel with Sen. Rubio’s disingenuous onstage attack. The D.C. front group, which Zuckerberg seeded in 2013 with nearly $40 million during the Gang of Eight fight, has consistently provided political protection for Rubio as he carried their legislative water. FWD.us’s GOP subsidiary, “Americans for a Conservative Direction,” showered Rubio and pro-illegal alien amnesty Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., with millions of dol-
lars in media ad buys. The group also funded a deceptive, $150,000 ad campaign for immigration sellout Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., which falsely claimed she opposed amnesty to help her fend off a primary challenge. In all, FWD.us spent an estimated $5 million on TV and radio spots in more than 100 GOP districts before the Senate passed the Gang of Eight bill in June 2013. Zuckerberg personally donated to Rubio, as have pro-H-1B expansionist Silicon Valley CEOs from Oracle, Cisco and Seagate. Microsoft, founded by leading H-1B/ amnesty cheerleader Bill Gates, has been Rubio’s No. 2 corporate donor the past five years. Paul Singer backs Marco Rubio. The hedge fund billionaire announced his support for Rubio in October. Amnesty is and always has been a top agenda item for Singer, who helped fund the National Immigration Forum along with fellow hedge fund billionaire George Soros. NIF propped up a faux “grass-roots” initiative of religious conservatives, dubbed the Evangelical Immigration Table, to lobby for the Gang of Eight. NIF was founded by far-left attorney Rick Swartz, who opposes tracking/deporting visa overstayers and opposes employer sanctions against companies that violated immigration laws. Swartz also served as an advisor to Microsoft. The Singer/Soros-funded NIF helped sabotage the Immigration Act of 1990, which was intended to impose modest restrictions on immigration, and turned it into “one of the most expansionist immigration bills ever passed,” as one expert put it. On Capitol Hill, Swartz worked closely with immigration expansionist Sen. Spencer Abraham’s legislative director Cesar Conda and Sen. Sam Brown-
Clean Water Act Bureaucracy on Steroids
There was an important news story mid-December which may interest you. Reported by the New York Times (yes, that by Jane Cormier is how egregious Hooksett, NH. the violation), a report surfaced that the EPA broke federal law with ‘Covert Propaganda’ on social media. Yes, indeed. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) evidently broke the law when pushing its controversial water rule, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The NYT reported, “[t]he Environmental Protection Agency engaged in ‘covert propaganda’ in violation of federal law when it blitzed social media to urge the general public to support President Obama’s controversial [water] rule[.]” What does this actually mean? See malkin on 26 The GAO’s ruling reports:
“The use of appropriated funds associated with implementing EPA’s Thunderclap campaign and establishing hyperlinks to the NRDC and to the Surfrider Foundation webpages violated prohibitions against publicity or propaganda and grassroots lobbying contained in appropriations acts for FYs 2014 and 2015. Because EPA obligated and expended appropriated funds in violation of specific prohibitions, we also conclude that EPA violated the Antideficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(A), as the agency’s appropriations were not available for these prohibited purposes.” This is what we have come to expect from a president who lives by his pen. The Powers That Be rushed ahead to promote a “clean water proposal” to about 1.8 people in an advocacy campaign. Governmental agencies are not supposed to be advocates. They broke the law. One has to wonder how many See cormier on 28

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, December 31, 2015
The Busybody Left ian neighborhoods. Immigrants from Rome were not scattered at random among immigrants from Naples or Sicily. Moreover, this was not peculiar to New York. The same clustering of people from particular parts of Italy could be found in cities across the United States, as well as in Italian communities in Buenos Aires, Toronto, Sydney and other places around the world. The very same pattern could be found among Germans,
Chinese, Lebanese and other peoples living in other countries. People of different ages, different incomes or different lifestyles likewise tend to sort themselves out. Nevertheless the busybody left has launched a political crusade to make communities across America present a tableau that matches the preconceptions of their betters. Nor are the true believers See sowell on 26
We Aren’t The World To believe his critics, Donald Trump has ripped up the U.S. Constitution and sprinkled its shreds on by Rich Lowry Syndicated Columnistzz the smoldering embers of what was once the Statute of Liberty. He did this, of course, by proposing a temporary ban on Muslim immigration into the United States, which might be the most roundly and fiercely denounced idea in America since the British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts (in 1774). There is no doubt about it: Donald Trump’s proposal is invidious; not all Muslims are a security risk. It is unworkable; among other things, airlines would have to screen travelers from Europe for their religion. It is imprudent; we don’t want to send a message of generalized hostility to Muslims. But it’s not unconstitutional. Trump’s detractors, and even some of his fellow Republicans, can’t help making this charge, even though it betrays a misunderstanding, not just of the Constitution, but of the very nature of a sovereign nation. “We do not discriminate on people based on religion,” Ben Carson said in response to Trump’s proposal, “that’s constitutional, that’s in the First Amendment.” Of course, he’s right. Except the First Amendment isn’t a free-
floating grant of rights to all of mankind. We are a sovereign country with the right to exclude whomever we want from coming here. In keeping with this basic attribute of nationhood, a long line of Supreme Court cases have upheld the “plenary power” of the political branches to set immigration policy in any way they please. We have seen exercises of this plenary power in recent decades. During the hostage crisis, as FrontPage Magazine reported, Jimmy Carter ordered that all nonimmigrant visas from Iran be invalidated and that no more be issued, absent a compelling humanitarian reason. He also mandated that Iranian students in the United States report to the authorities, who queried them about potential radical sympathies. Some students were expelled. Jimmy Carter has not heretofore been known for his fascistic tendencies. It is different, and less disturbing, to target the nationality of potential entrants, rather than their religion. It is the difference between Trump proposing, say, a temporary moratorium on visas for people coming here from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia -- San Bernardino terrorist Tashfeen Malik was a Pakistani who spent a lot of time in Saudi Arabia -- and a halt to all Muslims. Trump’s ban would apply to an Iraqi interpreter who worked alongside U.S. troops, as well as to a harmless Ph.D. from Malaysia. Still, the braying about the See lowry on 28

taxes. What makes this latest political crusade so ridiculous and so dangerous is that people have never been mixed and matched at random, either in the United States or in other countries around the world, or in any period of history. We can see blacks and whites living in different neighborhoods, but many people who look the same to the naked eye also sort themselves out. Moreover, neither blacks nor whites are living at random within their own respective neighborhoods. The upscale neighborhood called Sugar Hill in Harlem, where I delivered groceries as a teenager, was very different from the neighborhood where I lived in a tenement. White neighborhoods also sorted themselves out. A man who grew up in Chicago said, “Tell me a man’s last name and I will tell you where he lives.” Studies of ethnic concentrations in Chicago have backed up his claim. Back when the Lower East Side of New York was a predominantly Jewish area during the era of mass immigration from Europe, Hungarian Jews lived clustered together in a different part of the Lower East Side from where Polish Jews or Romanian Jews lived. And German Jews lived uptown. It was the same story in Ital-
Black
The political left has been trying to run other people’s lives for centuries. So we should not be surprised to see the Obama administraby Thomas Sowell tion now trySyndicated Columnist ing to force neighborhoods across America to have the mix of people the government wants them to have. There are not enough poor people living in middle class neighborhoods to suit the political left. Not enough blacks in white neighborhoods. Not enough Hispanics here, not enough Asians there. Nowhere in the Constitution does it grant the federal government the power to dictate such things. But places that do not mix and match people the way Washington wants them to can lose all sorts of federal money they currently receive under numerous programs. Handing out vast amounts of the taxpayers’ money is the way the federal government has expanded its power far beyond the powers granted by the Constitution -- thereby limiting the freedom of individuals, localities and states. Washington is essentially buying up our freedom with our own money, taken in

1. Eat breakfast. This is the key strategy to stop the nighttime cravings. Of course, if you are binging at night, you probably won’t want to eat breakfast, because when you wake up, you’re still full. So, you have to break that cycle, and you have to start with breakfast, a good, protein breakfast. There are two that I love, which I use all the time. One is eggs, any form you like: omelet, fried, poached. Eggs are a great source of protein that helps balance your blood sugar. Eat WHOLE eggs, not egg whites. The second is a whole food protein shake. I make it very simply. I keep all the ingredients I need in my cupboard, so it’s goof proof, and I don’t have to think about it. It’s all there. I put in hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almond butter, coconut butter, frozen cranberries, frozen wild blueberries, and a little unsweetened almond or hemp milk. I put it all in the blender, and it’s fantastic. If you have one of those for breakfast, it’ll keep your blood sugar even all morning and all day. 2. Don’t drink your calories. If you have sugary, liquid calories in the form of sodas, juices, lattes, sports drinks, or iced teas, it will spike your insulin and blood sugar, and this will cause cravings. 3. Make sure you eat regularly. Have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you want a snack in between, that’s fine. But
make sure you eat at regular rhythms and regular times. Your body is a hormonal clock, and you have to eat in rhythm to keep it in balance. 4. Have protein and good-quality fat at every meal, whether it’s good fats like nuts and seeds, avocados, coconut, olive oil, or quality protein like chicken, fish, or grass-fed meat. Some combination of these, plus lots of vegetables balance your blood sugar. 5. Find your pause button and soothe the stress. Stress makes you fat (and overeat); relaxing makes you thin. So, learn to find your pause button and de-stress. I encourage you to look at my blog on finding your pause button to learn exactly what to do. Breathing, yoga, and exercise are some of my favorite ways to reduce stress, which helps reset the hormones, balance brain chemistry, and stop the cravings. 6. Prioritize Sleep. If you don’t sleep, you will be hungry, especially for carbs and sugar. Why? Because when you deprive yourself of sleep, ghrelin, the hormone that drives hunger goes up and PYY, the hormone that makes you feel full goes down. So, if you want to lose weight, sleep it off. 7. Find Your Food Sensitivities. People don’t realize this, but you often crave the thing you’re allergic or sensitive to. And gluten and dairy are among the biggest triggers for food sensitivity. So, try to get rid of these for a few weeks and see if your cravings stop. 8. Supplement to Cut Cravings. Balance your blood sugar and your

2016! Sounds crazy! I know it’s a clichĂŠ to say, but I just got used to it being 2015. Of course, with the new year comes resolutions. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan. Most of us fail at them, pretty spectacularly. Not in the epic, blaze of glory sense, but more like a dud firecracker. We’ve all been there. We set up the resolution. We plan and envision it. Yet, by January 3rd or so it has collapsed around us. Or worse, we failed to even start. I believe this happens because when we think of our resolutions, we think of huge goals that tend to be abstract (like “lose weightâ€?) and when you do that you don’t have checkpoints along the way or any small goals so in turn you just have this
great big huge task and it really becomes an impossibility. Overwhelming. So if our resolutions are just doomed to fail, why do we make a resolution every New Years? I think the obvious answer is that most of us have stuff in our lives that we don’t like or that we think could be improved upon. Something that we know we could do better to improve our quality of life and increase how much we enjoy our life. Yet, it doesn’t seem to work out as we had hoped. In fact, this becomes such a discouraging process that many people don’t even make resolutions anymore. Further, we often give up on more than our resolutions, we give up on ourselves. I can totally understand why a person might feel that way but to give up on trying to improve our lives, doesn’t seem to be the answer either. I propose that you need a game plan. What I would call a resolution solution. Basically, make a list of small changes for your life and from that list choose four items. Each quarter of the year you’re

example, you could say: I’m going to stop eating sugar, I’m going to cut out all white flour, I’m going to drink more water, and I’m going to exercise everyday. In January you would implement one of those changes. Changes like these are really really simple to do at home and they’re not expensive. No excuses! Simply, you would do one change for the first three months of the year (for the first quarter ), at the beginning of the next quarter, you would layer in the next change. So instead of making wholesale changes all at once you’re slowly adding these changes and the changes have a compound effect, in terms of benefits. You’re stacking small easy tasks to reach bigger goals. By the end of the year you wouldn’t need to make a resolution because you’d already be much healthier than you had been the previous year. I really like the idea
of this because when we try to complete our resolutions we do wholesale lifestyle changes they’re just impossible to maintain. As we learned in the 1991 Bill Murray/ Richard Dreyfuss film, “What About Bob?”..... baby steps. So here’s my proposed list of possible small changes that you can make quarterly throughout the year: 1) drink more water. Almost all of us, tend to be dehydrated. Drink coffee, tea, or alcohol? All of these actually dehydrate you more! You should shoot for half your bodyweight in ounces of water per day. 2) cut out sugar. It decreases your immune system and damages your insulin response. It also makes you gain weight and provides empty calories,there’s no point to it. 3) white flour...cut it out. See sugar. 4) exercise every single day. I think that should

be a given. 5) start seeing a chiropractor. Most people have some kind of spinal or structural abnormalities if they have never seen a chiropractor, our spines like all else in out body requires maintenance. Those types of problems don’t let your body function efficiently. Most folks I know, think they feel okay but will say things like: “l’m just having my normal headache/low back pain/etc”, no pain symptoms are normal! 6) slow down: we are all too busy, take time everyday to do something for yourself, read, pray, stretch, or just sit. 7) get organized: go room by room (one per week, perhaps) and make your living and work spaces, work for you The goals can also involve things such as finances, mental peace, spiritual health, or whatever you can imagine. I want to challenge you to sit down today and write a list of as many solutions as possible. Sleep on it. Now choose the four you will focus on. Don’t overcomplicate this. Pick them and put the dates on your calendar, upon which you will add them to your life. You will fail, you will trip....don’t quit. Fulfill this plan and have, perhaps, your best year ever.

We used to wish others “a happy and prosperous new year�. In the past 7 years I have not used those by Niel Young Advocates Columnist words, and will not whisper them in 2016. At what point for the American employed and selfemployed understand that Obama’s words “you didn’t build that business, the government did�, is insulting to the producers of America; and those who create wealth! The man who said he would change America without telling us in what way, who also said his administration would be the most transparent ever, now wants equality in education by allowing our children one option for education: the government public indoctrination centers. No private, no home schooling, no religious private schools! Question for parents and grandparents, are the students being taught U.S. History, from the beginning? Ask the children and grandchildren of World War II vets, the Korean War, Vietnam, and the Iraqi War what they see in the American people today. As a war orphan of WWII I am bitter. What happened to “our Leaders� and if we are in it, we are in it to win, or let’s bring everyone home. Now that is interesting; Obama, Harry Reid, and republican Paul Ryan have allowed BAD PEOPLE to multiply within our borders. “Leaders� can pretend that we just recently discovered their presence. Where have they been? ******** At this time in OUR history, shouldn’t we all know the author of the follow-
ing? “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.� US Founding father, pamphleteer, author Thomas Paine December 19, 1776. Source: The American Crisis, No. 1. Many have been seeking the wisdom or passing along the wisdom for those who submit letters (email messages) to certain publications. From a lady in central NH: “In this season, please turn off the boob tube. Do not listen to all the bad things going on around us by the fools looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Try and have a good holiday season.� Great, now that is a good example of why we need to express ourselves. This lady may not know Thomas Paine, would you know Elmer Davis 1890-1958, an American writer, commentator: “The Republic was not established by cowards; and cowards will not preserve it ... This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.� Is the lesson here what citizens of the United States have been practicing for decades; if I remain silent when Evil is all
around me and my family, how long before Obama and Ryan eliminate the right of free expression; Fox, Talk Radio, letters, and the internet? They are working on the Second Amendment now! ******** ALL PROPERTY TAXPAYER ALERT: Two handfuls of Laconia residents collected signatures and promoted the Charter Change to include the politician and bureaucrat nightmare known as the TAX CAP in 2005. Well, it took that group of spenders 10 years, but now they are speaking the “in two years we may have to break the cap� signals. Laconia Daily Sun: “Consequently, as preparation of the 2016-17 budget begins, Myers has directed department heads not to increase operating expenses in anticipation that rising personnel costs will exhaust the increase in the amount to be raised by property taxes permitted by the tax cap. “Nevertheless, (City Manager) Myers said this week that it is conceivable that the city could fund each of the four projects without breaching the limits of the tax cap. However, he added the caveat that one or more of the projects, particularly the purchase of the Laconia State School property, may need to be undertaken over the next two fiscal years.� The reason Laconia has a tax cap, approved by the voters, is because city councils and school boards before 2005 seldom acted as though they had a taxpayers be damned attitude. The property taxpayers of Laconia may be forced to fund projects. In the past two years the city council has this thing for concrete and granite. I need to have the mayor and council on my radio program.

Wade Boggs played for Boston for six seasons, one less than Dennis Johnson, who had his number 3 retired by the team. Of course there was special Celtic sentiment for the likes of Reggie Lewis (#35) and Easy Ed Macauley (#22) but do those numbers deserve to be displayed alongside Bill Russell’s number 6 or Larry Bird’s number 33? Teams can dilute the honor by making it too routine. Yes, I’m talking about Cedric Maxwell’s number 31. As Red Auerbach said, “He wasn’t that good!� College teams retire numbers as well. The University of North Carolina Tar Heel men’s team has such a storied tradition that they developed strict requirements for uniform retirements. To be so-honored a Tar Heel must be more than special. He must be MVP of a national title team, an ACC “Player-of-the-Year,� a first-team All-American, and/or a member of a Gold Medal Winning Olympic team. Which brings us to Plymouth State University and Joe Dudek, its AllAmerica running back

RETIRED NUMBERS NEWS ITEM: The Boston Red Sox announced that they will retire Wade Boggs’ number 26. Congratulations to M o n s i e ur Boggs on a well-deserved honor. The third baseman won five batting titles during his 11 years with the Red Sox. That he later played with the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays shouldn’t be held against him. Boggs is also bound for baseball’s Hall-of-Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., which happens to be a criterion to have the BoSox retire one’s number—Johnny Pesky (#7) being the lone exception, understandably. Number retirements by sports teams are a relatively recent phenomenon. Consider that George Selkirk and Cliff Mapes wore number 3 for the Yankees long after Babe Ruth had left the team. Some teams are more promiscuous with their number retirements than others. The Boston Celtics are a prime example of a team with a generous retirement policy, having retired 21 numbers. Yes, TWENTY-ONE! Plus Johnny Most’s microphone and the nickname (Loscy) for the late Jim Loscutoff. Paul Pierce’s number 34 will certainly be the 22nd number to be retired. But does Kevin Garnett’s number 5 deserve the royal treatment, as some propose? Garnett only

in the early 80’s. Dudek scored more touchdowns than any college player in history, set numerous rushing records for several championship teams, finished in the top-ten of the Heisman Trophy voting, and then spent two years with the Denver Broncos. His number 22 was informally retired by Plymouth State, and in 1989 the college decided to make it official by having a Joe Dudek Day at Currier Field. Unfortunately, several faculty members chose to make a public issue over the fact that Dudek had not yet satisfied graduSee moffett on 24

He was born, educated, died and buried in Boston, Massachusetts. He was a founding member of the Massachusetts Historical Society. So why was Belknap County, New Hampshire named for clergyman and historian Dr. Jeremy Belknap? No doubt because he wrote a two volume history of the State of New Hampshire where he served as minister of the Congregational Church in Dover for twenty years and married his wife. He also did other writing and engaged in correspondence

with a number of prominent men who had influence during the early years of this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence. Jeremy Belknap was born on June 4, 1744 and died on June 20, 1798 at just 54 years of age, but his reputation was such that when a new county was created in New Hampshire in the year 1840 by taking portions of land from Strafford and Merrimack counties it was named in honor of him. The name Belknap is seen and heard often in central New Hampshire, but one wonders how many of its residents and visitors know anything about the man behind the name. Belknap Mountain and the range of mountains called Belknap are also named for this man who made a significant impact upon the state, particularly because of the history books about New Hampshire. Of particular interest from
Belknapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correspondence is a statement from Paul Revere about the events of April 18 and 19, 1775 and Revereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous ride to give the alarm concerning British troops. Apparently the account was written at the request of Dr. Belknap. Still the History of New Hampshire is his best known work. In the year 1818 a book compiled by a Caleb Bingham was published in Rutland, Vermont which contained lessons for reading and speaking for use in schools. Included in that school book was an account of advice that Dr. Jeremy Belknap offered to the inhabitants of New Hampshire at the conclusion of his history of the state. Addressing the citizens of New Hampshire Dr. Belknap wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153; Having spent above twenty years of my life with you, and See belknap on 22 $$

If you were a boy scout growing up in New Jersey, inevitably you would hear the tale of the Jersey Devil while on camping trips. It is portrayed as a creature that lived among the pine forests of south Jersey and would appear from time to time terrifying those who witnessed his fearsome nature. Luckily, we live in New Hampshire now and enjoy all of the folklore that is part of this great state. A new creature has just come about, thanks to the crafty folks at 603 Brewery, by the name of Wood Devil. 603 Brewery, located in Londonderry, NH, offers year-round beers as well as seasonal beers matched to the changing climates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Topold, 3 Restaurants forgusto, 2009â&#x20AC;? creativity and Under 3 years 603 has in NH with -Manchester Union Leader made a momentous mark a keen angle on NH beer in the NH craft scene. employing names â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top beer 20 Best Seacoaststyles Restaurants Starting as brewing friends and places for 2010â&#x20AC;? - Taste Magazinearound NH as from college, these folks their beer varieties.

DEAR TIM: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the process of installing a metal roof over an outside deck. My rafters are in place, and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting ready to purchase and install my flashing and sheathing. I was planning on putting plywood over the rafters and crossing the rafters with a 2-by-4 every 16 inches as strapping to secure the metal roof. From what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read online, it seems wise to install a vapor barrier over the plywood to prevent condensation from getting absorbed into the plywood from the steel roof. But it seems the condensation will affect the 2-by-4 strapping. Am I on the right track here? --Mitch B., Hood River, Ore. DEAR MITCH: When you have questions about a job involving construction material -- in this case, the metal roofing -always remember to read the written installation instructions that come with it. You can sometimes locate these on the website of the manufacturer. It would be nice if these instructions were a silver bullet answering all ques-
This framing will soon have a metal roof over it. What the roof will cover will dictate how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built. tions for all situations. Unfortunately, they are sometimes incomplete and lacking important details that can make or break a job. The photo you sent was excellent. It helps me understand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to accomplish. The biggest unknown, because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention it, is whether this roof is going to cover only an outdoor patio or if it will cover a finished room that is now your outdoor patio. This makes a huge difference on how you construct the roof. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re correct that condensation can be a huge problem with metal roofing.

This liquid water eventually runs down the underside of the roof and finds its way inside the home. When you install a metal roof over a finished living space in just about any place other than the Atacama Desert (where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not rained for decades), water vapor can and will float up through the ceiling and find its way to the underside of the metal roof.

With the loss of many natural cavities, such as wooden fence posts and old trees, it is important to supply artificial nest sites. to specific nest requirements determined by each bird species. While any wood will do, a natural decay-resistant wood such as cedar, redwood, cypress or good exterior grade plywood, is best. Never use pressure treated lumber to build nest boxes or bird feeders. The chemicals will leech into the food and nests, killing the birds. Boxes constructed of thin wood, less than 3/4”, allow for more heat build-up that can be detrimental to young chicks. If you paint your box, use soft, neutral colors and only paint the outside. Avoid dark colors because they may absorb too much heat from the sun. There are many resources available in libraries or online to assist
anyone who wishes to complete a nest box in their workshop. Enjoy your birds!

Winter is a good time to start thinking about nest boxes. Many species of wild birds begin looking for nesting sites in late winter or early spring, including bluebirds, chickadees, titmice and nuthatches. Just as supplying food and open water attracts many different species of birds to your backyard, the addition of a single nest box will attract other species as well. To those of us in the bird feeding hobby, a nesting bird is a feeding bird. With the loss of many natural cavities, such as wooden fence posts and old trees, it is important to supply artificial nest sites. The first thing to consider when constructing a nest box is what species you wish to attract. Next, find the ideal dimensions and hole size for that species to optimize your chances of getting a tenant. Choose a suitable material from which to construct the box. Finally, be sure to design the box with adequate drainage, ventilation and protection from the elements and predators. The dimension of the entrance hole is probably the most critical element. If it’s too small, your chosen species may not be able to enter the box. Too large and it could allow bigger, more aggressive species, such as starlings and sparrows to use the box. Floor dimension, depth of cavity and height of entrance hole above the floor are important due

passed through various scenes of peace and war within that time; being personally acquainted with many of you both in you private and public characters; and having an earnest desire to promote your true interest, I trust you will not think me altogether unqualified to give you a few hints by way of advice.â&#x20AC;? Now it would appear that he had some prophetic insight concerning New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future when he wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Śyour importance in the political scale will be augmented.â&#x20AC;? The first and seemingly most important piece of advice Belknap gave concerned the importance of education. He considered educating their children to be a duty of the people of New Hampshire and said that in many places there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great and criminal neglect of education.â&#x20AC;? In promoting education he advised that care be given in the choice of instructors â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś
The Belknap Mountain Range is named after Jeremy Belknap.

to see that they be men of good understanding, learning and morals; that they teach by their example as well as by their preceptsâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? In connection with education Dr. Belknap also advocated the establishment of what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;social librariesâ&#x20AC;? as a cost-efficient way to expand knowledge by sharing books and to provide for better care of the books, feeling that the libraries would also improve

social discourse among the readers.In advice about education he indicated that books purchased for learning should include those on the subjects of natural philosophy, botany, zoology, chemistry, husbandry, geography, and astronomy. A second area of advice to the citizens of New Hampshire by Belknap involved the use of what he referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirituous liquorâ&#x20AC;? calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153; that bane of society, that destroyer of health, morals, and property.â&#x20AC;? His concern was with â&#x20AC;&#x153;distilled spiritsâ&#x20AC;?, declaring that â&#x20AC;&#x153; the juice of the apple, the fermentation of barley, and the decoction of spruce, are amply sufficient for the refreshment of manâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? He suggested that the business of slave trading would decrease if we stopped the use of distilled spirits which he said slaves were used to produce. He called for the increased production of maple syrup, speculating that an abundance of that sweet product would reduce trade imports from the West Indies which, in turn, would reduce the demand for slaves. Dr. Belknap has also left us his ideas concerning how to be happy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Were I to form a picture of happy society, it would be a town consisting of a due mixture of hills, valleys, and streams of water. The land well fenced and cultivated; the roads and bridges in good repair; a decent inn for the refreshment of travelers, and for public entertainments. The inhabitants mostly husbandmen; their wives and daughters domestic manufacturers; a suitable proportion of handicraft workmen, and two or three traders; a physician, and lawyer, each of which should have a farm for his support.â&#x20AC;? His â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy societyâ&#x20AC;? would also include a clergyman who would be â&#x20AC;&#x153; a serious and practical preacherâ&#x20AC;?, a schoolmaster, a social library, a club of sensible men, and a decent musical society. Maybe it would be well to add to Jeremy Belknapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy society the presence of a historian.

morning skiing at Loon Mountain. Their snow guns and snow cannons were blasting away and I had super fun skiing on their man-made powder snow. The crowd was small for a Sunday morning at Loon and the lift line for the gondola was short. There was plenty of terrain open and everyone was scattered all
over all the wide open slopes. I felt like I owned the mountain. I didn’t want to leave at noon but I had promised to get home early for holiday decorating. Many of the New Hampshire’s ski resorts are hosting New Year’s Eve celebrations. Merrymakers at Pats Peak will be night skiing, dancing and blasting fireworks.

ation requirements. (He has since earned his diploma.) A local paper ran a story about the faculty concerns and a wire service account made it a national story. The undesired attention created a regrettable distraction which perhaps diminished the recognition. To his credit, Plymouth State President William Farrell made it a point to be on the field with Dudek for the ceremony. The attention given to Dudek’s graduation status was almost certainly the reason that some college teams chose to retire player numbers after their final season ended, but before graduation, or non-graduation. For example, Indiana University’s superstar running back Anthony Thompson had his number retired right after his last 1989 home game with the Hoosiers. IU apparently knew he wasn’t going to graduate and learned from the Dudek experience not to mess with faculty who might be jealous of the
attention given to football players. Anyway, congrats again to Wade Boggs. And upon further review, let’s keep Cornbread Maxwell’s number 31 retired. I’ll never forget his Game 7 heroics against the Lakers in 1984, and I think Auerbach was kidding when he said Max wasn’t that good. Happy New Year! Sports Quiz What was the first ever sports number to be retired? (A repeat question. Answer follows.) Born Today ... That is to say, sports standouts born on New Year’s Eve include NBA guard and Rick’s son Brent Barry (1971) and star NFL running back Hugh McElhenny (1928).
“Of course there was special Celtic sentiment for the likes of Reggie Lewis (#35) and Easy Ed Macauley (#22) but do those numbers deserve to be displayed alongside Bill Russell’s number 6 or Larry Bird’s number 33?”
ziano Sportsquiz Answer The first pro sports number ever to be retired was Ace Bailey’s “6” which was retired by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1934. Michael Moffett is a Professor of Sports Management for Plymouth State University and for NHTIConcord. He recently coauthored the critically-acclaimed and award-winning “FAHIM SPEAKS: A Warrior-Actor’s Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back” (with the Marines)—which is available through Amazon.com.

wicked brew from 17
Visit them at or their website at http:// www.603brewery.com Since the double IPA style has become so popular recently, it is no wonder that 603 would jump in with such a wonderful contribution. Wood Devil Double IPA is a glorious mouthful of complex flavors with a malt-forward attraction that will win you over on the first sip. The combinations of grains and hops match so perfectly that you might find this beer to be one of your close friends. The gorgeous light amber tones reveal a slight vail over clarity adding to its mystique. The off-white head is generous and lasts through most of the excitement. Aromas of citrus, lemon rhine and grapefruit great you as you partake. Early flavors of more citrus and a fuller mouthfeel add to your enjoyment, lastly treating you to the bit-

ters youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to expect from a truly satisfying IPA. Rated at 9.2% ABV, this surprisingly drinks like a 6.0% so beware of Wood Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deception. Since this is the first review I am aware of 603â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood Devil, no one has rated it yet... but you can expect to see many chime in on this great beer. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to find Wood Devil soon as well as the rest of the 603 line-up at Case-nKeg in Meredith and Laconia and other fine craft beer providers. Well done 603 Brewery!

primetime, Fox News Channel ad buys pushing the Gang of Eight immigration bill, including $100,000 in ads to support leading GOP voices for amnesty, including, you guessed it, Sen. Marco Rubio. Open-borders Democrats love Marco Rubio. As Sen. Schumer brayed last month: Rubio â&#x20AC;&#x153;was not only totally committed, he was in that room with us. His fingerprints are all overâ&#x20AC;? the Gang of Eight monstrosity. Indeed, Sens. Durbin and Rubio plotted strategy during early morning workout sessions at the Senate gym. Rubio hired Enrique Gonzalez, a Democratic donor and partner with the global immigration law firm, Fragomen Del Rey, to be his chief adviser on the bill. Gonzalez specializes in obtaining H-1B guest worker visas (tripled in the Gang of Eight bill) and EB-5 visas for wealthy foreign investors. After the bill passed, Gonzalez returned to his law firm as managing partner of the Florida office, where he brags about his role as Rubioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;special counselâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;principal advisor/negotiatorâ&#x20AC;? -- read: bill writer. Bottom line? Cruz kept his promise to voters. He voted against the Gang of Eight giveaway. Period. Rubio broke his promise: He paid lip service to border security and the American Dream, while scheming with Sens. Schumer and Durbin on the 180,000word, 1,200-page Christmas tree for Big Biz, Big Tech and ethnic lobbyists. Rubio didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just vote for the bill. He and his staff were integral to crafting it, shilling for it, and cashing in on the legislative boondoggle dubbed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;permanent pension plan for immigration lawyers.â&#x20AC;?

deterred by the failures and counterproductive consequences of their previous social crusades, such as busing children to distant schools to mix and match them with children from different racial, economic or social backgrounds. The theory was that this would improve the education of all -- through the magic of â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversityâ&#x20AC;? -- and promote greater understanding among different races and classes. In practice, however, compulsory busing of children to mix and match them produced more racial polarization and more educational problems. Undaunted by reality, the left moved on to try something similar in the housing markets, by placing low-income housing projects in middle class neighborhoods and by giving housing subsidies to individual low-income families to go live in neighborhoods where they could not afford to live otherwise. The counterproductive consequences of these efforts in the housing markets have only spurred on the busybodies of the left to try harder to force people to live their lives according to the preconceptions of the left, rather than according to their own direct personal experiences and preferences.

other times this type of “advocacy” has occurred. The growing bureaucratic behemoth we have witnessed under the Obama Administration doesn’t care HOW they get their Progressive job done – the end justifies the means in Progressivism. But, it seems in this case, they got caught. Even the New York Times cried foul on this one. In addition, there are so many negatives in this Clean Water Act, it is breath-taking. The Heritage Foundation offered a report on this bureaucratic rule: “The rule hurts the environment by keeping states from taking a leading role in water protection (contrary to the express language of the Clean Water Act). The rule is an attack on property rights by making it more difficult for property owners to use their property even for ordinary activities, such as farming.
The rule is so vague that property owners may not even know they could be violating the law. The opposition to the rule (based on various reasons) is wide and diverse and comes from farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, small businesses, counties, and home builders. Attorneys general and agencies from at least 31 states have sued the federal government over the rule. Even environmental groups have sued the federal government over the rule.” While the Sixth Circuit did issue a stay in October blocking implementation of this over-reaching rule, it is Congress who should clearly and decisively BLOCK the funding to this administrative fiat. Here’s hoping our representatives do the right thing by the American people. The Clean Air Act is nothing but more federal bureaucracy on steroids. And, it needs to be stopped. Pronto.

First Amendment from the left is rich. The implicit position of Trump’s progressive critics is that the First Amendment doesn’t protect all political speech, or cover people with religious objections to gay marriage, or prevent the Obama administration from forcing nuns to sign up for contraception coverage, but it extends to foreigners hoping to gain entry into the United States. The embedded assumption is that migrating here is some sort of global civil right. Trump may be ignorant and bombastic, but his supporters believe that, if nothing else, he understands that the security and interests of Americans must come first. They know no such thing about his hysterical detractors. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

‘We started screening films at the Rochester Opera House in 2011,” said Wyatt. “It was the first time that a feature film had been shown in Rochester in one hundred years and the public awareness and interest in the film nights has grown with each effort.” In May of this year, the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts debuted their first ever evening of short films and it was a huge success. That night was also the first time movies had been shown on the Opera House’s new 28 by 7.5 foot screen with digital projection. “The audience that evening really seemed to love the variety of movies and how fast paced the pro-
gram was,” said Wyatt. “So far this time around we decided to do it again with all new films and we’ll be showing at least twenty short films in rapid succession.” The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts is a volunteer based organization and is that city’s foremost visual arts initiative focused on the presentation and accessibility of fine art. “We really are a small community museum that works to make fine art and film accessible to the public,” said Wyatt. “”People should really come to the short film night because what we will be showing examples of independent filmmakers at their best.
