beat me with a maple bed board.” Said Tirrell. Along with the constant beatings, he was assaulted mentally with a constant barrage of being told that “he was no good and would never amount to anything.” A phrase which still lingers in his mind today, “I was born an artist and I won all sorts of See fonzie on 35

All night the rain pounded against the tarp of my small tent and it was loud. I didn’t sleep much because I was continuously startled awake when the rain changed from soft sprinkles to an outright deluge. But at least I stayed dry. Becca’s new big tent had a small puddle because she had left the window flap open yet she stayed dry. She said she slept well. I don’t think her big tent was as noisy as mine—my head was

Obama, Clinton & ISIS To the Editor: President Obama and Hillary Clinton founded ISIS in the sense that their policies, neglect, and assistance enabled ISIS to become a well-armed, well-trained, wealthy, and effective fighting force. Without Obama’s and Hillary’s help ISIS would still be the weak, ineffective terrorist group that President Obama declared to be the “JV� team. No rational person believes that Trump was saying that Obama and Hillary were in the room when Muslims decided to try to establish the 1400 year Muslim goal of a Caliphate. The people suggesting that this is what Trump meant (the media, other Democrats, and others in the political establishment) are intentionally trying to deceive people. Despite the advice of American military leaders who knew that Iraq would destabilize without our strong presence and influence, President Obama pulled American forces out of a stable Iraq. We know Iraq was stable because President Obama, Vice-President Biden, and other leaders told us so. Unfortunately our military leaders were correct; Iraq quickly destabilized, creating an environment in which ISIS could succeed. Then Obama and Hillary funded, armed and trained Syrian opposi-

tion forces most of whom quickly joined ISIS taking their weapons and training with them. With better arms and more trained forces ISIS successfully conquered major areas in Iraq. ISIS’s success enabled more successful recruiting efforts, the capture of thousands of major American weapons, and greatly increased ISIS’s wealth from looted banks, homes, businesses, etc., and control of the oil fields. After the world watched ISIS commit many atrocities, President Obama felt compelled to appear to oppose ISIS. But President Obama only allowed token efforts; the relatively few “airstrikesâ€? that were allowed often weren’t allowed to attack ISIS forces. The lives of American men and women were put in jeopardy, but they weren’t allowed to significantly damage ISIS which continued to grow more powerful. No, President Obama and Hillary weren’t in the room when ISIS’s plans were made, but they essentially “foundedâ€? the current version of ISIS. Driven by domestic political considerations and a naĂŻve worldview, President Obama and Hillary Clinton helped ISIS become the cruel, powerful killing and enslaving force that threatens the lives of people around the world.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Going For The Gold

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

As I write this, the Summer Olympics in Rio are almost over and I feel like I need a vacation. It seems like only yesterday that I could easily endure two weeks of massive night time Olympic viewing in television (and even an hour or two in the afternoon on a day I felt particularly motivated) and still have some energy left for the eleven o’clock news. This year the challenge to relive those days of my youth was a tough one. I had been preparing since the last Olympics in 2012 where I felt more winded than usual after watching the women’s 4x4 four hundred meter relay. I used to have no problem hanging in there after this event to watch the discus throw, even if it was taped and I already knew the results. But I turned off the television the second the last American runner crossed the finish line first. I knew I wasn’t in my prime Olympics watching shape any longer and realized that if I was to even have a chance of making it all the way through to the last medal contest on Friday evening of the second week, then I’d have to start getting into shape then. Of course, life got in the way early on‌well for the first forty-six months anyway, and I put aside any thoughts of Olympics training. It wasn’t until I started hearing the news stories about the Olympics

INDOOR BOAT STORAGE ONE LOW PRICE!

(Zika virus, polluted water, crime in Rio) that I realized it was closer than I had imagined and had let the opportunity to be in the best Olympics watching shape I had ever been in slip by. Still, I live by the motto: “If you want something bad enough, there is nothing that can stop you from having it. Except, of course, that person that wanted it more than you.� So, in mid June I went on a massive Olympics watching training regime so I could make it all the way to the Closing Ceremonies, something I had never done before even when I was in the prime watching shape of my mid20s and early 30s. I explained to my wife that I might be tough to live with for those next two months. Basic house chores, interactions with family, friends and neighbors and the nightly pursuits towards the betterment of our own lives, would have to go on hold. One positive aspect of all of this was that we already had the training equipment - A Netflix account. The goal was to binge watch as many television series as I could through June and July. Eight to midnight each night and even the occasional 3-6pm in the afternoon shifts if I felt it wouldn’t take too much out of me. It was a brutal training. Every night at 8pm, I would take my place on the couch, a bowl of popcorn, maybe an apple and some peanut butter crackers for protein. I also made sure to have plenty of fluids on hand. At first I knew I was going to have trouble. I made it through the first four episodes of Breaking Bad that first night but fell asleep on the couch halfway through the fifth. What if that happened

during the last set of five of an indoor volleyball match and I missed the outcome? I’d have to kick it up a notch. It wasn’t easy, but no matter how tired I got, I kept bringing myself around to consciousness when I felt myself dozing off. I was hard on myself, but I wasn’t going to be a quitter. I made it through Breaking Bad and about thirty other television series and was finished training about three days before the games were to begin. I needed to take a break before the start of the Olympics. I decided against watching the opening ceremonies. I realize some who found out later might put an asterisk next to my achievement if I made it to the end, but I’d take my chances. I am proud to say that I sit here today to write that I did it. I did have a few moments where I drifted out of consciousness but they lasted no more than five seconds, well within the Olympics watching rules. The Closing Ceremonies are going to start in a few hours and I, in the spirit of gamesmanship, will stick it out. In the meantime, I am off to watch the ending of the Timberman Triathlon right down the road from me. I haven’t trained for this at all this year and I am only hoping my neck can hold up long enough, constantly turning left to right, to watch the athletes pass. I’ll cheer them on even though I know that very few of them, if any, accomplished what I did at this year’s Olympic Games.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 25, 2016

Hillary’s Headhunter: Sleazeball Ken Salazar The Loathsome Cowboy rides again. Ken Salazar, President Obama’s disgraced exinterior secretary and former U.S. by Michelle Malkin senator from Syndicated Columnist Colorado, was named Hillary Clinton’s White House transition chair on Monday. The pick confirms that a Clinton presidency would not only be Barack Obama’s third term ideologically, but also culturally. As in the Democratic culture of corruption. Ken Salazar is a thug. Before stepping down as Obama’s interior secretary in 2013 “to spend time with family,” Salazar threatened violence against a local Colorado Springs Gazette reporter who had the audacity to challenge one of the ten-gallon hat-wearing bureaucrat’s cronyism-tainted deals. At issue: How rancher and reported Salazar business associate Tom Davis profited handsomely from the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Program. Not long after Salazar took office, Davis paid $10 each for more than 1,700 federally protected horses who roamed on public lands. He then turned around and sold them for slaughter near the Mexican border for $154,000, despite signing a contract prohibiting him from doing so. When Gazette reporter David Phillips (now at The New York Times) asked about the controversy at an Obama election night event in November 2012, Salazar snapped:

“You know what, never do that. This is a -- this is the Obama -You know what, if you do that to me again, I’m going to punch you out. OK? Don’t ever, ever, from the Gazette or anybody else do that to me again. Set me up. You know?” Caught on tape by Philipps and another witness, Knuckles Salazar issued an “apology.” But neither he nor Davis, who said he had previously hauled cattle for Salazar for years, ever answered for their actions. An Inspector General determined Salazar’s department “failed to follow its own policy of limiting horse sales and ensuring that the horses sold went to good homes and were not slaughtered.” No penalties, no prosecution, no nothing. Ken Salazar is a liar. He trampled the rule of law, defied court orders, and doctored scientific conclusions in the name of environmental protection. Have you forgotten? After the BP oil spill in 2010, the Obama White House imposed a radical six-month moratorium on America’s entire deepwater drilling industry. The sweeping ban -- inserted into a technical safety document in the middle of the night by Obama’s green extremists -- cost an estimated 19,000 jobs and $1.1 billion in lost wages. The order was supposedly based on recommendations from an expert oil spill panel. But that panel’s own members (along with the federal judiciary) called out Obama’s environmental team for misleading the public about the scientific evidence and “contributing to the perception that the government’s findings were more exact than they actually were.” Salazar and eco czar Carol Browner oversaw the false

Nihilism In Milwaukee Tim Pool is a fearless social-media reporter who specializes in getting close to the action. It almost doesn’t by Rich Lowry qualify as a Syndicated Columnist protest or a riot if Pool isn’t live-streaming from the streets. But he is pulling out of Milwaukee because it is too dangerous for white people. In a carefully stated YouTube video, Pool described the verbal taunts and threats, as well as actual violence, directed at whites. After an 18-year-old male was shot in the neck and extracted by Milwaukee police in an armored vehicle -- Pool identifies the victim as white, although other press reports don’t mention his race -- he concluded he had to leave. (For the record, Pool is half Korean -- not that rioters care.) The Milwaukee unrest has taken

on a more explicitly racist cast than other riots after officer-involved shootings. After Ferguson, the anti-police movement famously adopted the slogan “Hands up, don’t shoot.” If it were to take its next catchphrase from Milwaukee, it might be (per Pool’s reporting) “f*** white people.” In other officer-involved shootings or deaths that have occasioned unrest, there has at least been a colorable case that the police acted wrongfully. In Milwaukee, a black officer shot an armed man, 23-year-old Sylville Smith, who by all accounts ran from his car after a traffic stop and defied an order to drop his (stolen) gun. The officer wore a body camera, and the police chief says the video shows Smith raising his gun before the cop shot him dead. Presumably we will see the entire video and know more soon enough, but it’s not hard to believe that Smith was capable of recklessly threatening the officer. His long rap sheet is the story, in miSee lowryon 40

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 25, 2016

PARIS - A vital American ally has gone geopolitically adrift in the wake of Turkey’s failed military coup, and the subby John J. Metzler s e q u e n t Syndicated Columnist crackdown on all forms of domestic political dissent by the strongman ruler Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The bloody coup in which hundreds died, nonetheless served as a tragic backdrop for what appears as a pre-planned crackdown by Erdogan loyalists on a wide swath of opposition forces. As importantly in the aftermath of the overthrow attempt, Erdogan has frayed already strained relations with the USA and the European Union.

The Coup First let’s look at the coup attempt itself. Since 1960, Turkey’s military has seized and held power four times. The night of the Generals on 15 July looked like a rerun of past putsches except that the attempt seemed more ill-starred than the product of a welltrained NATO military. Though some army units were restive, the timing of the putsch may have been a premature or misjudged attempt by some military

Turkey At The Crossroads units who were provoked into action precisely as to then allow for Erdogan’s forces to launch a pre-planned counter-coup. Why? Armored units went on to the streets and bridges on a busy Friday night; not in the quiet and wee hours of the next morning. Though the plotters seized some TV stations and key points in Istanbul and the capital Ankara, they failed to capture President Erdogan himself who then used TV to rally his loyalists to flood the streets. Bloody violence ensued. In the coup’s immediate aftermath, Erdogan extolled, “This uprising is a gift from God to us because this will be a reason to cleanse our army.” His comments reflected a long simmering unease with the powerful Turkish military, a secular mainstay of the State which has never been comfortable with Erdogan’s Islamic path. Erdogan, whose Islamic- lite AK party has been in power since 2002, has delivered impressive economic progress for the country, but has increasingly embraced the trappings of an autocratic Sultan more akin to leaders in the ex-Soviet-Stans than in Europe. Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic cleric who was once an Erdogan ally but who now lives in exile in the USA has become the focus for Erdogan’s rancor. A systematic purge of sus-

pected “Gulenist factions” has extended to the military, police, media, schoolteachers and civil servants and has reached 60,000 in the aftermath of the uprising. Turkey’s large secular Muslim community is facing increasing

pressures from AK zealots. The failed July military coup was aimed at toppling Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule which mixes Islam with high-octane nationalism. The government has since staged massive See Metzler on 42

Does Black Success Matter? We keep hearing that “black lives matter,” but they seem to matter only when that helps politicians to get votes, or when that sloby Thomas Sowell g a n h e l p s Syndicated Columnist demagogues demonize the police. The other 99 percent of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media. What about black success? Does that matter? Apparently not so much. We have heard a lot about black students failing to meet academic standards. So you might think that it would be front-page news when some whole ghetto schools not only meet, but exceed, the academic standards of schools in more upscale communities. There are in fact whole chains of charter schools where black and Hispanic youngsters score well above the national average on tests. There are the KIPP (Knowledge IS Power Program) schools and the Success Academy schools, for example. Only 39 percent of all students in New York state schools who were tested recently scored at the “proficient” level in math, but 100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy school scored at that level in math. Blacks and Hispanics are 90 percent of the students in the Crown Heights Success Academy. The Success Academy schools in general ranked in the top 2 percent in English and in the

top 1 percent in math. Hispanic students in these schools reached the “proficient” level in math nearly twice as often as Hispanic students in the regular public schools. Black students in these Success Academy schools reached the “proficient” level more than twice as often as black students in the regular public schools. What makes this all the more amazing is that these charter schools are typically located in the same ghettos or barrios where other blacks or Hispanics are failing miserably on the same tests. More than that, successful charter schools are often physically housed in the very same buildings as the unsuccessful public schools. In other words, minority kids from the same neighborhood, going to school in classes across the hall from each other, or on different floors, are scoring far above average and far below average on the same tests. If black success was considered half as newsworthy as black failures, such facts would be headline news -- and people who have the real interests of black and other minority students at heart would be asking, “Wow! How can we get more kids into these charter schools?” Many minority parents have already taken notice. More than 43,000 families are on waiting lists to get their children into charter schools. But admission is by lottery, and far more have to be turned away than can be admitted. Why? Because the teachers’ unions are opposed to charter schools -- and they give big See Sowell on 40

Clinton supports increased fees for gun ownership which would minimize the number of gun owners by simply pricing them out of the right to defend themselves. In New York City she told donors: “The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, and I am going to make that case every chance that I get.” What most people do not realize is, the Supreme Court only evaluated laws on complete gun bans and laws that made it a crime to use a gun. If Clinton is able to appoint a Supreme Court Justice, it is completely possible that American’s right to keep & bear arms could no longer exist.

Healthy Tip From Dr. Fink:

Raising An Athlete & Sports Injuries

by Dr. Charles Fink

Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center

. Soon the kids will be back in school and the sports practices and games will be in full swing. Many of us, parents and kids and even grandparents are on the run. Meals are eaten in parking lots, on bleachers, in the car and sometimes consist of peanut butter and jelly. Mom works, Dad works and no one has time to eat a healthy meal, let alone make one. There are some clever on the run options that you could consider for these busy times. You could Google these and make an effort to shop and prepare foods ahead on the weekend to make the weekdays less hectic. Your weekends are full as well you say? All the more reason to make the time and include the rest of the family in the ideas, shopping and preparation. (the clean up as well! Why should Mom do it all?) At these times it is especially important to get on a good daily supplement regimen to ensure you and your family are at your best. I have some great ideas and techniques to help you with making good healthy choices. Sports Injuries that are not treated properly can set you up for problems in the future,

a very important reason to seek the advice of a professional. In addition to many years experience as a Doctor of chiropractic & supplement recommendations, I also utilize and recommend low-level laser therapy in my practice. Laser therapy reduces inflammation, provides deep tissue therapy and accelerates pain relief. It is used by professional sports teams and athletes to ensure they are back in the game as soon as possible. Laser increases oxygen and blood flow, stimulating the cells energy and better cell communication and as a result faster healing, less pain, more strength and better joint movement. I have had great success with a variety of complaints just using laser therapy. A recent complaint of persistent warts was treated with a weekly laser treatment of just 5 minutes and the warts are gone. For more information about low level laser therapy and how you can benefit, or for chiropractic care please call us at Fink Chiropractic Center, 603-524-4555. Be sure to check us out on the web at www. finkchiro.net Words from a happy patient regarding his improvement: “ I had lower back pain and discomfort standing or sitting. I have had several chiropractors prior and some were good and some were not so good. I drive 90 miles to Charlie’s office for my appointments, that says it all right there. My chiropractor of 14

years retired to Florida, then I went to 4 others before I was recommended to Dr. Fink. The others just did OK results. In fewer than 10 visits to Dr. Fink I am feeling incredible! No more back pains and spasms. I had treatments for things that others could not identify. My trust and confidence is back with my new friend and chiropractor, Dr. Fink. You may think you’re receiving good chiropractic care…until you actually receive good chiropractic care. Charlie is truly at the top of his field and his patients benefit from it.” EJS 08/2016

“I have tried many different ways to get myself back to myself. I was tired, bloated, no energy, brain fog, just didn’t feel right. Then I saw Dr. Fink’s ad in the paper, which also listed everything I felt and thought, why not, what do I have to lose! So I decided to give him a try. It has been four weeks and I’m actually feeling myself again, now compared to years of not feeling good, this is awesome! I have energy; I think more clearly, all I can say is “thank you” Dr. Fink!” -S.B.

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer

Back to school season is upon us. You can almost here the cries of joy from the parents and the wails of despair from the kids. The focus will begin to shift from the beach to the books. As parents and as a larger society we are greatly concerned with the education of our kids. We worry about test scores, attendance records, and after school activities. We want them to be well read and accomplished. We want them to be successful. This all makes sense. Yet, are these the most important goals? Are metrics like these the best indicators of a life well lived? Enter the Making Caring Common (MCC) Project. It is an endeavor of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. They ask a really interesting question: are we raising nice kids? Are we raising caring kids? They offer resources, tips, info, and guides for parents, educators, and caregivers to help raise kids that are caring and ethical. Their

Welcome In‌

website is: Harvard.edu/ making-caring-common. I think the info they give is great for helping kids, but even if you never deal with kids, the info could be applied to an adult too, in my opinion. Here are 5 tips they shared for raising kind kids: 1) Make caring for others a priority. This sounds like commonsense, but too often we focus on achievements and goals first and foremost. Even to the extent of putting ourselves ahead of others. If we want kindness to be a priority, then make it so‌.focus on success, sure, but not in place of others. 2) Provide opportunities to be a caring person. We all understand that “practice makes perfectâ€?, but too often we limit this idea to stuff like sports. The same can be true of the ways we act. We need to practice kindness, in order to make it the natural response. This can mean volunteering, helping out at home, or at school. The point is, we have to help kids have kindness as their first response. 3) Be a strong mentor and role model. This is obvious right? Walk the walk. If we want some type of behavior out of our kids, then let’s show them the way with our own lives. 4) Expand your child’s

circle of concern. We all care about our friends and families. Yet, the world is a big place with a lot more people. Improving the world then, hinges on people caring about more than ourselves and beginning to understand that our actions affect others. 5) Help children learn self-control and manage feelings effectively. Why do we have moments where we are less kind then we should be? Usually, it reflects our own issues or bad moments. I know I am much more likely to be a jerk, if I’m having a bad day. This seems to be true for most of us. We need to help our kids learn to deal with bad days and to not let those times change how they act towards others. The MCC is a great resource, if interested you should check it out. There is never a time when being more kind is a bad idea. Conversely, we all have times, where need more kindness from someone else. My hope for all of us is that we find health and happiness. It seems that kindness in our lives is a very good first step for our kids and for ourselves. This does not mean that traditional markers of success are worthless, but if we are successful, yet lack human decency, love, and kindness; was it worth it?

Keep The Family Healthier This Back-to-School Season Back-to-school season can be fun and exciting for kids and parents alike. With your kids coming home after being exposed to all the children at school and the added stress that the school year brings, it could mean more days stuck in bed for your whole family. Experts say that rather than being reactive, it’s important to be proactive by taking steps to keep kids healthy. “Building and maintaining a strong immune system is key to a long, healthy life,� says Larry Robinson, PhD, and vice president of Scientific Affairs, Embria Health Sciences, a manufacturer of science-based ingredients that support wellness. For a strong and healthy school year ahead, Robinson and Embria are offering some useful health and wellness tips. Great Habits A healthy lifestyle means developing healthy habits. Perhaps most important is to enforce a consistent bedtime to promote adequate sleep. Proper nutrition is also key: three solid nutrient-filled meals a day and healthy, non-sugary snacks. Regular, moderate exercise also promotes good health, so encourage them to participate in physical activities like sports teams, dance classes and even just

playing in the yard. Smart Supplements Even well balanced diets can use a few more benefits to promote better wellness and good health. The best immune system supplements are well researched and do more than simply boost the immune system. Consider supplements containing the breakthrough, fermentation ingredient EpiCor, shown to support the body’s ability to initiate the proper immune response when needed. For example, NOW Healthy Immune contains EpiCor, Zinc, Selenium, and Vitamin D-3 and C for additional support for the body’s immune system. Formulated into easy pouring packs, they are a convenient way for busy families to stay healthy on-the-go. To help strengthen the immune system another way, think about your gut, which is where 70 percent of your immune system resides. Probiotics can keep your gut and you healthier. Consider a supplement such as Hyperbiotics Immune, which contains EpiCor, targeted probiotic strains, zinc, vitamin C and echinacea. While these statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration and these products are not intended to diag-

nose, treat, cure or prevent disease, many experts believe they can help you maintain a strong immune system.

Reduce Stress Too much stress can compromise the immune system. Help kids reduce the stress in their lives by not over-scheduling them. En-

Elaine Morrison Art with Empathy by Kimberly J.B. Smith Contributing Writer

There are many reasons for art making. Inspiration may come from an intellectual or aesthetic impulse. The work m a y b e utilitarian or conceptual. For others, making art is simply for the joy of creating. For Elaine Morrison, artmaking is a journey of empathy for others. Elaine shares her caring and compassion for the less fortunate by painting, quite literally, the picture of homelessness. I m a g i n e the image of an individual’s despair, asleep in a doorway or sitting alone in a park. Many of Elaine’s works are paintings and when they are, they grab you and make you look at that which you wish to

Projects like collaborative murals and individual artistic pursuits germinated the idea of something revolutionary in the Lakes Region. Three years ago, Elaine and her comrade Dick Smith, took to the streets of Laconia to find those less fortunate who were struggling in the shadows. Elaine offered a connection through art and Dick shared his photography skills. Their goal was to share their gifts and give a voice to the homeless.

EXPLORING THE LEGEND & LORE OF OUR GRANITE STATE

The Unknown Soldier Identified by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. Contributing Writer

Two thousand nine hundred and ten New Hampshire residents who served in the Union forces during the Civil War were unaccounted for at the end of the conflict. This is the story of one who was almost the 2,911th. Lieutenant W.A. Nason of the Eleventh N.H. Volunteer Regiment, remembered the morning of July 1, 1864 as “…one of the brightest and clearest one could imagine or ask for..” as he prepared for his duties, when he met the ward-master in charge “of the pavilion where the wounded officers were quartered”. The ward-master persuaded Lieutenant Nason to accompany him in visiting some wounded officers, explaining that even with the suffering they were enduring they were happy to have visitors. After visiting with several of the wounded he was taken to two brothers from Maine who had not realized that the other was wounded until they met in that hospital ward (apparently this was at De Camp United States General Hospital on David’s Island in New York Harbor). Lieutenant Nason had been a patient at the hospital because of illness, but had recovered sufficiently to be assigned to light duty at the headquarters of the hospital, and had recently returned from a furlough in New Hampshire. One of the Maine brothers had lost an arm and the other a leg; however, they were still car-

Hiram Kinsman Little ing for their comrades, and pointed across the ward to a soldier being attended by some nurses who was the object of much curiosity because no one knew who he was. The soldier’s wounds had left him unable to talk or write and he carried no identification. It was not known if he was a Union soldier or a rebel, whether he was a private or an officer, or any detail about the man as he lay almost completely paralyzed and suffering in silence. Lieutenant Nason said “Passing along to where the stranger was lying, and looking down upon the thin, pale face, his eyes closed as if in death, to my intense surprise I recognized the well known features of my friend and comrade Lieutenant Little.” Sitting beside his severely wounded friend, the Lieutenant spoke his name, upon which Little opened his eyes. Lieuten-

ant Little nodded his head when asked if he knew who his fellow officer was, indicating that he did. During the next couple of days Lieutenant Nason notified authorities of his surprising discovery and took steps to have relatives notified, while spending time at the Lieutenant’s bedside in an effort to encourage and comfort him. Hiram Kinsman Little was a resident of the town of Sutton, New Hampshire, though his early childhood was spent in nearby Newbury, N.H. where he was born on May 27, 1830. His father, a hard working farmer, died when Hiram was ten years old, and a few years later his mother moved the family to Manchester. A history of Sutton published in 1890 indicates that Hiram was not a very healthy child during some of his childhood. He would See smith on 45

Contributing Writer

SILVER’S SHAME NEWS ITEM – The National Basketball Association announced that it’s pulling the 2017 NBA All-Star Game from Charlotte, due to a recently-passed North Carolina law seeking to prevent males from using female restrooms. The above news item represents my own paraphrasing, but that’s essentially the issue. Seriously. The North Carolina legislation was in response to recent Obama administration “guidance” to public schools that transgender students be allowed to use bathrooms of their choice. States or locales resisting Obama’s “guidance” risk losing federal funds—or in Charlotte’s case, the NBA All-Star Game, which will cost the Tar Heel State tens of millions of dollars. What does “transgender” mean? It relates to a person whose self-identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender. Basically, it means that if a biological male (with x and y chromosomes) feels more female than male, then he should be allowed to pursue behaviors consistent with a female orientation—to include using female bathrooms and locker rooms. Some understandably worry that the Obama “guidance” gives license to troubled individuals to engage in behaviors that could threaten innocent females. Of course, those who express such concerns are labeled as intolerant, homophobic bigots by those who otherwise counsel

Will Boston Celtic GM Danny Ainge distance himself from the NBA Commissioner. “tolerance.” And when the Obama administration defines the issue as one of “Civil Rights,” it plays a powerful card that emotionalizes the situation. This creates a very chilling effect on those with contrary perspectives—like the North Carolina legislators, who simply don’t want males using female bathrooms. As NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver needs to take responsibility for his league’s idiotic actions. And so how can Silver now sanction the NBA’s ever-closer relationship with China? Having set a high moral bar in judging the good people of North Carolina, how does the commissioner justify partnering with a Communist country that suppresses dissent? A country that’s forced untold millions of women to have abortions? And presumably a country with even less “enlightened” transgender policies than North Carolina? Part of the answer is that around 80% of NBA players are African-American, and as our first African American president, Obama likely expects a measure of fealty from these high-profile athletes—and the NBA—as he pursues his dubious policies. It’s shameful that Silver and company allow themselves to be such pawns. But it gets much worse. Some transgender advocates insist that persons born as biological males who identify as females be

allowed to play on female sports teams. This is a major threat to female athletics. Imagine a 6-foot, 200pound soccer player running full-speed for a 50/50 loose ball, directly opposed by a 5-foot, 90-pound authentic female? When they collide, which player is far more likely to get hurt? It’s crazy, but it’s another example of nutty policies being foisted upon the USA by a craven presidential administration—one that’s afraid to confront Iran but bravely bullies North Carolina. But this isn’t China. We still have some freedom here. North Carolina can still pass sensible laws. And the NBA can choose to boycott Charlotte. And fans can choose to boycott the NBA, its teams, its apparel, and its telecasts. See moffett on 38

rows, a nuthatch or two, chickadees and mourning doves. But what about the other wild bird species? Chances are that you have more species around than you realize. Almost every neighborhood has diverse habitats nearby, such as a stand of trees, a bunch of shrubs, an abandoned patch of old fields or a combination of these areas. These islands of green can be magnets for a number of species. Nearly any bush or shrub of reasonable size will harbor song sparrows. Look for the typical “small, brown birds� you see in commercial areas of you community and you will recognize these species. Another wild bird you might find very close to your yard is the towhee. The Eastern variety loves leaf litter in the brushy undergrowth beneath the secondary wooded areas common in rural habitats. The first time you see leaves on the ground being flung up like a small tornado, you will remember your first towhee sighting. Towhees sing their trademark “Drink you tea” and have a characteristic note that sounds like “Chewink.� Catbirds, thrashers and northern mockingbirds, members of the mimic family, are possible backyard visitors in similar habitats of dense low growth such as thickets, shrubs and bushes. Catbirds are robin-sized, grey birds that have a very distinct cat-like “mew� sound. Thrashers sing a variety of notes and regularly repeat the same

version over and over again. Mockingbirds have an annoying habit of repeating the last sound they heard before darkness sets in. That barking dog you hear all night long may just have a set of wings! Indigo buntings have a blue color all to their own. Just like the scales of a fish, the available light from the sun exposes hundreds of hues not found in a box of Crayola crayons. These beautiful visitors always grace our northern region to raise the next generation of unexpected guests on our backyards. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of WEZS 1350AM radio show “Bird Calls� with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM.

A R C T GREA

by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer

We should live by a simple set of rules‌ Try to be nice to each other, help out when you can, keep opinions that could start an argument to yourself, eat good food and drink good beer. About the last one; I try to make it a practice not to drink strange brews like cucumber stout, jalapeno porter or even sour or fruity beers. That being said, today I make an exception since this one is worth it. So, today we look at one of these styles from our friends at Rockingham. Rockingham Brewing Company is a new 10 barrel nano brewery with one aim in mind: to brew the best beer they know how to keep their customers coming back for more. Now distributed by Craft Beer Guild, they know where they are headed and have definite plans of succeeding. Open a little over 18 months, Rockingham has already carved a niche with several of its favored offerings, most notably, Belly of the Beast Bacon-Flavored Stout. But they have a bunch of other notable flavors to savor in 22 oz bottles; Rockingham Ale, Javelina IPA, Remy’s Rye, Gourdy Pumpkin Ale and Curly’s Gold. Located in Derry, NH, their tap room is open almost every day and is definitely worth a trip to talk to these delightful people.

D.A. LONG TAVERN You can find out more about their offerings on www.Facebook.com/ Rockingham or at their website https://rockinghambrewing.com. Blond Melon is a surprisingly delicious tasting pale ale made with cantaloupe and honey. With a medium golden hue, slightly off white head, good lacing which hangs around for quite awhile, Melon will present a touch of fruit to the nose at your first approach. The fruit additive begins like watermelon or cantaloupe but by the third taste, you won’t notice anything more than a very satisfying ale. Smoothness of both malt backbone and balance of honey makes the beverage quite enjoyable. At 5.3 ABV, Rocking-

ham has created a wonderful summer quencher. Just like their other terrific tasting beers, you should make it a point to try them all. There isn’t a bad one in the bunch. Find them at Casen-Keg in Meredith and Laconia as well as other fine beer providers. BeerAdvocate.com samplers scored Blond Melon between 3.2 and 4 out of a score of 5.

This column is a departure from my normal question and answer format. You can thank the editor of a large East Coast newspaper for the inspiration. She asked me to write a special column about preparing for storms. To find out about how prepared readers are, I surveyed subscribers to my free AsktheBuilder. com newsletter. Within two days, I received 1,050 responses. Just over 50 percent of respondents said they’re not prepared to take care of themselves for a few days in the event of a major disaster. This is sobering. When asked why they’re not prepared, 30 percent said they don’t know how to do it. Twenty percent believed they didn’t need to prepare, and 32 percent wrote in a specific reason for not doing so. A big disaster is going to strike where you live. It could be a hurricane, a huge flood, an epic blizzard or a terrorist attack. You do not know when it will happen. It could be brutally cold or blazing hot when it happens.

Even a small portable generator like this can be handy in an emergency, but beware: It will go through many gallons of gasoline a day. Think about how many days a year at your home that it’s comfortable to camp in your front yard. Stop thinking now that the local fire department and police are going to help you in a major disaster. Most people don’t realize they’ll be busy working to get help to larger community assets like hospitals, retirement homes and any other business that supplies basic needs to the community as a whole. You and your home are at the bottom of their priority list. Think about how many fire trucks are in your city or town. Then think about how many people or houses are there. That should wake you up like a bucket of ice water to your face. The same is true for utility repair trucks and employees. The best way to get

ready to take care of yourself and your possessions is to think about going camping. What would you take with you if you were going to do a primitive camping trip where there are no utility hookups? You’ll need plenty of water. You can get by for days without a shower, but you’d be surprised how much water you need to drink and might need for food preparation and clean-up. Some can be stored in bathtubs, but you could need barrels of water to make things comfortable. Food is easier. Canned and dried foods are easy to store. I have a large supply of five-gallon buckets that have gasketed screw-off gamma seal lids. These can be stacked easily, and you’d be stunned how much See builder on 38

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 25, 2016

A Message From Friends Of Feral Cats In the spring of 2011 three caring people Becky Cote, Karen Laflamme and Trisha LeRoux, joined together to form “Friends of the Feral Cats” to help the community cats of the Lakes Region. They saw a growing population of feral cats throughout New Hampshire and knew something had to be done. It is easy to turn away, drive by and ignore the haggard looking cat. We can tell ourselves that it probably has a home or that it is simply not our problem. But, the sad case is most do not have homes and feral cat colonies are direct result of irresponsible pet ownership. Therefore, without question, it is our duty to help. According to Spay USA, “If two cats and their offspring remain unaltered, and produce two litters a year with only three kittens surviving, the total numbers in five years is twelve thousand, and in nine years eleven million”. Trapping feral cats is not an easy task. Thankfully programs such as Friends of the Feral Cats out of Gilford, NH are willing to take on this difficult job. They do more than just trap the feral cats. They perform a three-step process known as “TNR”, which involves patiently Trapping the cats, then Neutering/spaying them, and finally Returning the cats to their colony or re-homing if necessary. In just 5 years Friends of the Feral Cats have successfully spayed and neutered up 30 colonies that will no longer produce kittens. The group has handled over 600 cats and kittens since the project began. Female cats that are pregnant or have kittens are placed in foster homes and kittens are handled and socialized by their foster families. Kittens once they are old enough, they get shots and medical attention and then are ready to be adopted to forever homes. Female cats are spayed and returned to the colony. Males are

neutered and returned to the colony. Most people do not realize this is such a problem in the Lakes Region. Many people mistakenly feed these animals without spaying or neutering or simply bring them to the shelter assuming they can be re-homed. Unfortunately, not every cat can be socialized and re-homed. These animals are then euthanized . But with “TNR” the cats are spayed and neutered and then returned safely back to their colony to live out their lives. This controls the population which will ensure less cats growing up in the wild and also control the flow of “free kittens”. STOP THE FLOW OF FREE KITTENS While the idea of a free kitten sounds ideal to some, the reality is much more grim. Only 1 in 5 free kittens ever make it to the vet for proper care. These kittens grow into cats that reproduce more kittens. Many of these kittens are abandoned and end up in the wild, fending for themselves. If they are lucky they join a colony for survival and continue to add to the feral cat population. If you see a sign or advertisement for free kittens, please contact your local shelter or Friends of the

Feral Cats. Friends of the Feral Cats are able to do this tireless work with the help of organizations such as Interlakes Animal Hospital Meredith NH and Rozzie Many Animal Alliance (RMAA) out of Conway, NH. Both providing low-cost spay/ neuter services and medical care. RMAA has a stationary clinic and a mobile clinic for their Spay/Neuters. On July 22nd RMAA came to the Lakes Region for a special clinic to spay/ neuter over 20 cats and on August 24th did 30 more from 2 colonies that Friends of the Ferals are working on “I have been working with RMAA for five years, I love how it works, they come right to our location”, shares Karen Laflamme, one of the founders of The Friends of the Feral Cats. Without organizations like Interlakes Animal Hospital Meredith and RMAA, the work that Friends of the Feral Cats performs would not be possible. Friends of the Feral Cats relies strictly on donations from the community to perform this work. Thanks to a generous donation from TTNCA Auctions out of Ossipee, NH they were able to perform Spay and Neuters on over 50 cats. Unfortunately, the funds went fast. See Feral Cats on 33

Authentic-sounding and always respectful, TUSK leaves no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved, topselling bands.

TUSK at Great Waters in Wolfeboro on Friday, August 26th. On Friday, Aug. 26th at 7:30pm Great Waters Music Festival will close out its 22nd summer season as it presents TUSK - The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute. TUSK covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, which has featured the talents of Mick Fleetwood, Christine and John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and others over the years. The Fleetwood Mac story is an episodic saga that spans more than 30 years. It is the saga of a British blues band formed in 1967 that became a California-based pop group in the midSeventies. In between came a period where Fleetwood Mac shuffled personnel and experimented with styles, all the while releasing solid albums with chart topping hits such as L a n d s l i de, Rhian non, Go Your Own Way, Don’t Stop, Dreams, Say You Love Me, Hold Me and many others. The five seasoned, well-respected musicians comprising TUSK have been making music together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in

boiled water for coffee (I brought a French press) and for instant oatmeal that we topped with fresh picked blueberries. We folded up our wet tents and tarp. I used my shovel and stirred water into the center of the fire ring. Even after rain, always be responsible and make sure a fire is completely out. We packed up everything and left the campsite cleaner than we found it. From Bartlett we drove up the Slippery Brook Road to the end of East Branch Road. These roads were reopened last summer after being closed after Hurricane Irene’s severe damage. After extensive repairs these gravel roads are now in good condition. As we readied for our hike and bushwhack we talked about how our cars would smell inside after sitting in the sun all

The East Branch Trail begins as part of an old railroad bed and its northern terminus intersects with the Wild River Trail near Ketchum Pond. The trail is nice and follows the east bank of the East Branch of the Saco River. The river was more like a small brook today

even with the previous night’s rain—it’s been a dry summer. We hiked up the trail, still well blazed by the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation’s blue diamonds that were placed there 30 years ago, about three miles to where an old grown-in logging road crosses the trail. We turned east down

the old road and continued towards our goal of bushwhacking to the top of West Baldface. The logging road is being reclaimed by the forest. We followed the animal’s herd path down between head high brush and new trees that were wet and scrubbed us like a car wash. We got soaked in just a matter of minutes but the walking was easy. We crossed a number of small brooks and then the road headed up hill. When the road began to turn away from our desired direction we took aim and left it and began bushwhacking up. At first the forest was thick and then it quickly opened up leading us across old log landings and widely spread out trees. We crossed through large areas of fern and birch glades.

us. As we neared the mountain’s ridge the terrain got much steeper and Baldfaces began to appear—wide open ledgy, rock faces. We stayed on their wooded edges since the sun had not come out well enough to dry them to make them less slippery. On West Baldface’s elevation 2,941’ summit it is possible to take in a grand panoramic vista but by moving around on its ridge. The peak is east of Black Mountain and the Wildcats and West of North Baldface. On most maps it is an unnamed bump yet its elevation is often noted. But the sun had not burned off the low lying clouds and we couldn’t see as far as we hoped. But we did like very much of what could see--nearby North and South Baldface, Black, Chandler and North Doublehead looked splendid to us. The clouds moved and the sun shifted in and out and the ledgy open summit was a nice place to eat an early lunch. We returned nearly the same way following the opposite end of the compass needle back to the old logging road.

Yours truly kicking the bucket I found just off the East Branch Trail! Through the wet ferns we went and now my feet squished inside my boots and I imagined Becca’s were too. Once back on the old logging road time and miles went by quickly. Our day’s adventure

was just under ten miles and we didn’t see another soul the entire outing. Our cars were hot inside and smelled of roasted wet tent. I am glad car windows roll down. Have fun.

school contests and a few statewide ones,” said Tirrell. “I’d bring home the art pieces and I would throw them in the trash thinking I was no good. I was about ten at the time.” Also in Tirrell’s blood was hot rods. “I had a paper route where I made about $1.25 a week, I had 113 papers and I really hustled. I used some of that money to go to the General Store and buy four Hot Rod magazines that cost twenty-five cents each.” One afternoon his uncle on his mother side came to take young Rod to a Hot Rod show but his father wouldn’t allow it until he cut the lawn. “It was a push lawn mower and I went as fast as I could to be done and get to the show,” said Tirrell. “At one point one of the blades hit our Willow Tree and that’s when he told my uncle to leave and then took me in the house and beat me. He told me if that tree died he would beat me every day for a month. I wasn’t very religious but I prayed for that tree every day.” There weren’t any fond memories for his mother either. “She couldn’t wait to tell him something bad about me when he got home so he could beat me,” said Tirrell. “I never had money for school lunch, instead I got bologna with butter on bread and a dog biscuit. Our dog would follow me to the bus stop and I’d give him the sandwich and I’d eat the biscuit. There were times I wasn’t fed. I used to sneak into the neighbor’s garbage and find something to eat. Maybe a rock hard doughnut. I used to steal corn and carrots from their gardens too. Back then there was no hot line to call. I had to endure it myself.” When Tirrell was a little older he saved up enough to buy a 1934 Ford Roadster body and later his father sold him a 1939 Chevy Two Door Sedan for twenty dollars. “Then one day he gave me fifteen cents and told

Rod “Fonzie” Tirrell on the postcard that advertised his Wareham, Mass 1950s style diner, courtesy Photo gift shop and museum. It was one of his lifelong dreams to build. me to go to the movies. When I came home I found out he junked both cars.” His father often “sold” things to young Rod, including a pair of his old shoes once for two dollars so he could look decent at the local sock hop. His father sold him a shotgun too. “It got to the point where I thought about killing them for a couple of weeks and was about to do it but backed off at the last minute when I thought about jail,” said Tirrell. The abuse was never ending. Often he would be outside in the winter and told not to come into the house, hovering and shivering in the corner by the bulkhead door. Later in life Tirrell was diagnosed with PTSD from the abuse he had taken as a child. His experiences were likened to living in a concentration camp by one therapist. One day, at fifteen years of age, young Rod reached a breaking point. He grabbed his mother by her throat, reared back with his fist to hit her and at the last second, let her go. “That was the day I left home.” Now homeless, Tirrell slept in the backseats of cars in the local junkyard.

He found a job shoveling out a chicken coop for seventy-five cents an hour. “One day a friend asked me if I’d be interested in doing drywall for a dollar and hour. I didn’t know how but I said sure.” Eventually he saved up enough money to get a one bedroom apartment for twelve dollars a week.

“I felt like I was living in a mansion,” said Tirrell. “I could do whatever I wanted.” Soon after he became a “master” at sheetrock and could do a house a day with one helper and soon was a subcontractor. “I said I wanted to be paid by the foot which was about two cents a foot at the time. I hired a

couple of guys at ninety cents an hour and I was making a couple of bucks for every sheet.” By the time he was nineteen, Tirrell was making a thousand dollars a week, “I was always very frugal. What I had I wanted to keep,” said Tirrell. He went to the bank and took out a loan for a guitar, then a loan for a stereo, always making sure to pay back the loan on time before even buying food for himself, building up his credit rating. “The day I turned 21, I got a mortgage and bought a house,” said Tirrell. The mortgage was for $5,200 (42 dollars a month). He sold the house a couple of years later for $9,500. “I also owned the lot next door and sold that for $3,600 about six months later,” said Tirrell. “I said to myself ‘I think I’m onto something here.’” In 1966 he got his Real Estate Broker’s license while still running his drywall company. “In the mid 1960s I bought a three-famiSee fonzie on 36

Eventually he owned twenty-seven apartment buildings. He bought a Chinese Restaurant and turned it into a successful nightclub called the People’s Choice. “I had a lot of money, but I still lived very frugally,� said Tirrell. “I found it hard to treat myself.� Now married with a young baby, Tirrell and his family went to visit his mother and father for Christmas. “I bought one bottle of beer with me and before I could even take off my coat he threw us out of the house,� said Tirrell. “I was angry and said “you

said I’d never amount to nothing, I could buy this house, this whole street. Everyone knows me.’ He looked at me and said ‘You ain’t shown me nothing yet.’ It was an arrow right through my heart.� Tirrell never saw his parents again. They moved to Florida and passed away. “I have no desire to ever go there,� Tirrell said. Despite the hurtful words of his father, Tirrell continued to push forward. Tirrell formed the Brockton District Property Owners Association and defeated rent control. He was asked to run for City Councilor but “Suit and ties weren’t for me.� The success was interrupted by some turmoil as his wife had left him and Tirrell was left with his three children. He also faced a complicated legal situation which would force him to find a caretaker for his three children for a few weeks while it was resolved. That two-week caretaker turned into his wife of forty-four years, Mary. “She is a gift from above, she is my angel,� said Tirrell. Fonzie and Mary have a daughter of their own. By now, Tirrell was a multi-milllonaire and could do whatever he wanted. “I had started selling off buildings, invested in the stock market, bought and sold exotic cars. I had a

successful antiques and classic car business. I always had this dream to build a museum to show them off.� Drawing the building on a napkin, Tirrell had the start of a 20,000 square foot, 1950s style, 136seat diner in Wareham on Cape Cod where he owned property. Tirrell bought a steel building that was about 5/8ths of building, a roof and a few walls and he built the rest including excavation. Everything in it was done in the 1950s. It was called “Fonzie’s Diner Gift Shop and Museum.� There was even a Saturday Night Sock Hop. “Everyone called me Fonzie because I was the coolest guy in town,� said Tirrell with a smile. The diner was very successful, but the work involved was getting to be too much and they decided to sell. “Still, it was my dream and I did it the way I wanted.� Offers were made in the $2.5 million range, but Tirrell held out since they wanted to tear down the building and eventually sold it for $2.25 as it would stay intact. Still, they had ninety days to vacate the building and now he needed a space for his eighty antique cars and other memorabilia. (In the midst of all this, he built himself his dream mansion on Buzzard’s Bay. 7500 square feet, a six See fonzie on 37

rice, beans and dried foods can be put into a five-gallon bucket. When preparing to get through a huge disaster, realize that our food distribution network is based on just-in-time need. Local grocery stores don’t have enough food in them for all in the neighborhood in case everyone shows up at once. You’ll probably need a camp stove and fuel to cook. You can buy inflatable solar camp LED light lanterns that will create some light at night. Maybe you’ll be able to have a fire, so do you have access to firewood? You might need a cord or two of dry, split wood. How will you start the fire? What about shelter? Maybe your home will be habitable and maybe it won’t be. I’ve got a nice shed that could be used as a shelter. If that doesn’t work, I’ve got a small enclosed trailer that could keep me and my family out of the weather. It would be cramped, but we’d stay

dry and out of the wind. Have you thought about your important papers, documents and photos? Much of these can be scanned and put onto hard drives and thumb drives or stored on remote servers. You need to gather all your important papers and digitize them. Wills, insurance policies, treasured secret family recipes, any irreplaceable photos, letters or contracts must be preserved. Get a small address book and record in writing all important names, phone numbers and email addresses. You have all this now on your computer or cell phone, but what happens if they get destroyed or you can’t power them up? If you’re thinking of getting a portable generator, you really need to think about fuel. Larger generators can consume lots of gasoline. How can you safely store lots of gasoline? It’s not easy and it may not be legal to do in your city or town. Are you sure your local gas station can dispense

gas in a disaster? No one may be there, the inground tanks could be empty or there could be no electricity to operate the pumps. The bottom line is you need to follow the Boy Scout motto and just Be Prepared. There are hundreds of free checklists online to help you get ready. Look at many and take from each one what works best in your situation. There’s no spandex list that works for all. Above all, don’t forget to create a go or bug-out bag.

I love the Boston Celtics, and like many others, would love to see our NBA team choose Common Sense over Commissioner Silver. I’m pretty sure that Boston General Manager Danny Ainge is embarrassed by this sordid situation. Hopefully he’ll show the same courage in the front office that he displayed on the basketball court and distance himself and his team from Silver’s cowardly squalidness. Like many NBA players, Celtic center Tyler Zeller played college ball in North Carolina. I’d love to see the numerous NBA standouts with North Carolina connections boycott the next All-Star Game to support the good people of the Tar Heel State. Even if it doesn’t follow Obama’s “guidance.” Sports Quiz What NBA Commissioner once chaired the Democrat National Committee? (Answer follows) Born Today ... That is to say, sports

standouts born on August 25 include MLB relief pitching sensation Rollie Fingers (1946) and star NFL wide receiver Marvin Harrison (1972). Sportsquote “On this special Fathers Day, we’d like to wish all of you a very Happy Birthday.”—New York Mets announcer Ralph Kiner. Sportsquiz Answer Larry O’Brien served as NBA Commissioner from 1975-84. While Democrat National Chairman in 1972, his office was burglarized, which led to the Watergate Scandal and the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Michael Moffett is a Professor of Sports Management for Plymouth State University and NHTI-Concord.

was not sobriety. Not through River Crew Arts but most hopefully down the road. Stories include the reticent woman who let her guard down just enough for Elaine to work her magic when an art opportunity presented itself. A leaf fell, Elaine encouraged the woman to trace it and suddenly this woman was making art and guest book designs using fallen leaves! Dick helped another River Crew member to discover her photography skills. Now this person is collaborating with a number of local businesses. River Crew Art combats learned helplessness through empowerment and the arts. Elaine and Dick have enlisted others to help too. They include a potter, a woodworker and a chef too. At a recent show at the Belknap

Mill (that I stumbled into by good fortune), I saw a wide variety of art including tributes to others in need, masks, a mural on part of a car body and of course, the guest book for public responses! Outreach by

The River Crew Artists include sending artistic works to Newtown, Chad at Dartmouth and the Belknap Nursing Home. Quite an accomplishment but River Crew Arts is only one of Elaine’s successful projects. Paintings of youngsters participating in adaptive skiing, paintings about the history and story of Native Americans (Elaine has some lineage) and 15 pieces of art celebrating the contributions of the military are now housed at the National Guard Armory. Elaine lives authentically, feels deeply and contributes fully. Her work can be seen at ven-

ues related to the Lakes Region Art Association. Kimberly J.B. Smith is an artist and art edu-

cator. You can see her work at www.KimberlyJBSmith.com

bucks to politicians, who in turn put obstacles and restrictions on the expansion of charter schools. These include politicians like New York’s “progressive” mayor Bill de Blasio, who poses as a friend of blacks by denigrating the police, standing alongside

Al Sharpton. The net result is that 90 percent of New York City’s students are taught in the regular public schools that have nothing like the success of charter schools run by KIPP and Success Academy. That makes sense only politically, because

it gains the money and the votes of the teachers’ unions, for whom schools exist to provide jobs for their members, rather than to provide education for children. If you want to understand this crazy and unconscionable situation, just follow the money and follow the votes. Black success is a threat to political empires and to a whole social vision behind those empires. That social vision has politicians like Bill de Blasio and Hillary Clinton cast in the role of rescuers and protectors of blacks from enemies threatening on all sides. If politicians can promote paranoia, that means bigger voter turnout, which is what really matters to them. That same social vision allows the intelligentsia, whether in the media or in academia, to be on the side of the angels against the forces of evil. That’s heady stuff. And a bunch of kids taking tests doesn’t look nearly as exciting on TV as a mob marching through the streets, chanting that they want “dead cops.” Black success has very little to offer politicians or the intelligentsia. But black children’s lives and futures ought to matter -- and would, if politicians and the intelligentsia were for real.

crocosm, of why inner-city communities are so miserably unlivable, and need to be policed so intensely. Smith’s mother says her son got his gun because he had been shot twice and robbed four times. Three people were murdered last weekend within blocks of where the officer shot Smith on Saturday afternoon, and five people were killed in total over a ninehour period Friday night and Saturday morning. The routine carnage is, of course, never the occasion for rioting. The Milwaukee disorder is another stark illustration of how often the agitation over police-involved shootings fades into a noxious nihilism, heedless of the facts or reason. Burning down neighborhood business establishments, throwing bricks at cops, trashing police cars and chasing white people -- all features of the Milwaukee riots -- may feel good, but they are simply more symptoms of the social breakdown that police are asked to respond to every day. Even if the cops conduct themselves perfectly in such communities, there will inevitably be tensions and tragedies that don’t occur in more orderly places where young men aren’t so often the perpetrators -and victims -- of crime. The deeper question in the debate over policing is how we can keep the lives of so many young men like Sylville Smith from sliding off the rails. But trying to answer it doesn’t hold the satisfaction of smashing windows, or provide ready fodder for cable TV debates. And so the beat, drearily, goes on. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

rewriting of the drilling ban report to completely misrepresent the Obamaappointed panel’s own overwhelming scientific objections to the job-killing edict. Federal judge Martin Feldman in Louisiana blasted the Interior Department for defying his May 2010 order to lift its fraudulent ban on offshore oil and gas drilling in the Gulf. Feldman singled out the Salazar-run agency’s culture of contempt and serial “determined disregard” for the law. “Much to the government’s discomfort and this Court’s uneasiness,” Feldman wrote, Salazar’s doctored report was “misleading” and the experts who wrote it called it a “’misrepresentation.’ It was factually incorrect.” Once again, Salazar evaded accountability despite continued obstruction and repeated refusal to cooperate with nearly 50 public records requests from Congress regarding his post-BP spill decisions. Ken Salazar hates American consumers and workers. He infamously told the Senate in 2008 that he would refuse emergency drilling requests in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge even if gas prices reached $10 a gallon. He arbitrarily pulled nearly 100 oil leases in Utah -- costing the state thousands of jobs -- based on bogus eco-claims that were refuted by the Interior Department’s own inspector general. Offshore and onshore, Salazar waged war relentlessly on the energy sector and the American West. Ken Salazar is a jobkilling, truth-sabotaging, law-skirting, media-bullying corruptocrat who just won’t let go of power. In other words: a perfect headhunter for America’s Evita Peron.

and Iraq. This may be changing as Erdogan angrily accuses Washington of plotting the attempted overthrow. The Fallout Erdogan was already playing a double game in the Syrian war; on the one hand he was trying to topple Assad and in doing so allowed Turkey to become a conduit for all sorts of radical Islamic jihadi fighters, many of them from Europe, to slip through Turkey’s porous border with Syria. Nonetheless, Turkey has accepted a huge humanitarian burden of two million Syrian refugees, many of whom may later try to illegally go to

If slighted, Erdogan could open the migrant spigot and again allow waves of Syrians and Iraqis heading for Greece and beyond. Europe, who accepted over a million migrants last year, justifiably fears this outcome. The USA seems to have been caught unaware of the impending coup but nonetheless is being callously blamed by President Erdogan’s minions of having orchestrated

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 25, 2016 smith from 17

have been around twenty years of age when he moved to Sutton in 1850 where he married a Sutton girl, Susan Woodward in 1856, and became the father of Cyrus in 1859. Hiram became one of the most influential men in the town, manufacturing clothespins in partnership with his brother, William, and serving for several years as one of the town’s selectmen. His involvement in the Grand Army of The Republic during the war was also impressive as he rose in the ranks to become a first lieutenant and was involved in the battles of Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, and Petersburg, as well as the sieges of Vicksburg and Knoxville, according to the history of the town of Sutton. Injured in battle near Petersburg on June 20, 1864, and unable to communicate, and without identification, government officials did not know what happened to Hiram Little, but had informed his family that the missing soldier had probably been killed in battle. Lieutenant Little succumbed to the wound in his throat, dying on July 4, 1864. His funeral was held in a grove near a church in Sutton on July 10th, and overcome with grief, his wife died only two months afterwards and was buried by his side. This story is as much about Lieutenant William Nason as it is Lieutenant Little. Not only did Nason secure permission to allow him to spend time with

his wounded friend and provide as much as he could for his needs, he also made arrangements for the body to be properly cared for and made available for the family after Lieutenant Little’s death. He left a lengthy description of the occasion of the discovery of the unknown wounded soldier , along with events that happened before and after, in a letter to a W.L. Cogswell. Nason is listed in the register of soldiers from New Hampshire in the War of the Rebellion as being from the town of Springfield and serving in the Eleventh Volunteer Regiment from this State. The “History of Sutton� compliled by Mrs. Augusta Worthen tells us that a Captain J.M. Durgin from the 12th N.H. Regiment also recognized the wounded Lt. Little while he was being transported to New York on the United States floating hospital, New World, and took charge of the few

belongings of the wounded man. A silken sash that was among those items was given to Lt. Little’s son, Cyrus, eighteen years later when he met with Durgin at a camp named for Lt. Little on Sunapee Lake. Durgin was said to have been from Laconia, though the register of N.H. soldiers lists him as a Gilmanton resident. Concerning his identification of the unknown soldier, Nason commented â€œâ€Ś the scenes of those few days in July, 1864, were sad indeed, yet it has always afforded me much pleasure to think that I was the humble instrument – guided by the powerful hand of our Heavenly Father – that rescued my friend from an unknown grave, and from passing away ‘ unwept, unhonored, and unsung.’ â€?
