on The Plymouth Fair as an Agricultural
Event
PLYMOUTH – The
Plymouth Historical Society
(PHS) will present the sev-
enth in a series of programs
on topics of local and
regional interest. The PHS
will feature a presentation on
“The Plymouth Fair as an
Agricultural Event” by PHS
Board member Dick
Flanders on Wednesday,
September 19th at 7:00 PM
at the Old Webster
Courthouse (Court Street –
behind Plymouth Town
Hall).
For thousands of years
crowds of fairgoers have
been entertained with
exhibits, competitions and
entertainment. More recent-
ly, agricultural fairs devel-
oped to showcase the latest
farming methods and equip-
ment, and offered “premi-
ums” for the best vegetables,
chickens, rabbits, sheep, etc.
-with an eye on promoting
all things agricultural.
Fairgoers in Plymouth
enjoyed viewing livestock,
horses and other animals as
well as attractive displays of
locally grown produce,
maple products and handi-
work. Local 4-H youth
groups and farm families
proudly showed their ani-
mals and husbandry skills.
Local Granges sponsored
parades and exhibits.
Woodsman Field Days
attracted woods workers
eager to compete in various
events. Horse racing and
oxen pulling all had their
staunch supporters.

To be eligible, small busi-
nesses need to have five or
fewer full time equivalent
employees and a business
owner household has to be
income eligible. For exam-
ple, a family of two the busi-
ness owners household
income would need to be
less than $45,700. For a fam-

Fair was an event that fami-
lies looked forward to in the
cold winter months and the
hectic days of summer. The
Grafton County Agricultural
Society sponsored fairs in
the area as early as 1820.
When permanent fairgrounds
were established in 1871 at
the “Pemi Trotting Park”,
affairs were managed by the
Plymouth Fair Association
and then by the Union
Grange Fair Association.
The Plymouth State Fair ran
the annual fair until 1997,
“its 147th fair” when it
ceased operations.
This program reviews the
long history of the Plymouth
Fair from an agricultural per-
spective. With the decline in
agriculture there was a shift
in emphasis to entertainment
events which attracted peo-
ple to the Plymouth Fair.
However, the loss of 4-H and
financial support from the
state, played a significant
role in the fair’s demise. Yet
other agricultural fairs con-
tinue to thrive -the North
Haverhill Fair being an
example. This presentation
will look at the changes in
local agriculture and farming
over the past 150 years- from
137 farms to a handful today
in Plymouth.
Dick Flanders is an avid
historian and Plymouth resi-
dent who grew up next to the
Plymouth Fair. He helped his
grandfather park cars during
the fair for 25 cents a day in
the 1950’s. He has watched
the Baker and Pemigewasset
river valleys change over the
past 70 years from agricul-
tural to rural residential and
commercial land uses. Come
join the conversation about
early agriculture, view the
new agricultural exhibit at
the PHS museum, and enjoy
the refreshments! This event
is free and open to the public.

“”Wolfeboro, NH, August
29, 2018:
In a world in which “histo-
ry” seems to last less than the
time it takes to post an
update on social media, the
odds seemed stacked against
the Wright Museum in
Wolfeboro. Charged with
commemorating all things
related to World War II, the
museum, however, has found
a way to make the nation’s
“greatest war” not only rele-
vant, but engaging to all
ages.
“We host fun events like a
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (Page 3)
car show every August, a
family day in July and other
events that appeal to kids and
parents alike,” said Mike
Culver, executive director.
Extending beyond military
ephemera to include art and
photography, the museum
features a changing lineup of
exhibits, some of which
focus on other conflicts to
better contextualize the
impact of WWII beyond the
1940’s.
In 2019, the museum plans
to host a Smithsonian exhibit
called Righting a Wrong:
Japanese Americans and
World War II. According to
Culver, the subject matter is
hard-hitting.
“It addresses the intern-
ment of Japanese Americans,
one of the most egregious
events associated with the
war,” he said.
The Smithsonian notes that
the exhibit “traces the story
of this incarceration and the
people who survived it.

Justin Pruitt of Lake Nona, a
community in Orlando, Fla.,
has been charged with mur-
der in the shooting death of
his girlfriend. Pruitt tried to
make her death look like a
suicide, but that clearly
didn’t work. He then offered
police a theory as to who did
it: one of his own dogs may
have shot her, he said,
because they are “very

Finally, bottoms up!
You've heard of probiotics,
live bacteria and yeasts that
are good for you, especially
your digestive system.
Usually they come from
foods like yogurt and other
dairy products, but scientists
at Wake Forest School of
Medicine have recently dis-
covered a particularly effec-
tive strain of probiotics in
baby poop. Why they were
looking there, I don't know.
They have created a 'cock-
tail' of it to feed to mice
which had an astonishingly
positive impact on their gut
health. The test results sug-
gest that these probiotics
could help treat people with
diabetes, obesity, autoim-
mune disorders and certain
cancers. All you would have
to do is get comfortable with
eating bacteria that came
from baby poop. [Bizarre

At the annual hacker con-
ference DefCon, an 11-year-
old boy from Austin, Texas,
was able to change the
results on a mock Florida
election website. It took him
10 minutes. In total, 35 of 39
participants ages 6-17 suc-
cessfully hacked mock ver-
sions of Secretary of State
websites in six swing states
during a portion of the con-
vention called the Voting
Machine Hacking Village,
according to event organiz-
ers. The hackers managed to
tamper with vote tallies,
party names and candidate
names, changing vote tallies
to numbers like 12 billion
and candidate names to "Bob
Da Builder" and "Richard
Nixon's head." The hack
points to the larger vulnera-
bilities of the election infra-
structure in light of the sus-
picion of Russian meddling
in the 2016 U.S. election.
State election officials,
though, say the mock site did
not duplicate all the safety
features in place to stop
hacking. [Bizarre News]

Make up your mind: a
new study says ‘No amount

surprising finding was that
even small amounts of alco-

loss globally," said a profes-

Evaluation. "We're used to
hearing that a drink or two a

Speaking of which, I hap-

Fine. Is it okay that I like

I have to say something
here. Yes, as you know, we

There are way too many
Facebook posts saying,
‘Another one taken too

I have the answer: Don’t do

hard as that.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: “It

The unnamed 37-year-old
client, who sold drinks in
Cologne, Germany, spent
about 5,000 euros modifying
a bottle-redemption machine
so it would return the bottle
to him instead of destroying
it. Then he sat by the
machine, feeding in the same
bottle over and over to get a

A few years after Atticus and

selves on a very unusual
trail, headed in a sharply dif-
ferent course. It wasn’t a
miscalculation, but a change
of direction that was careful-
ly nurtured.
out there. But that’s the
thing about magic, if you
open your eyes, mind, and
heart to it, there’s no telling
where you’ll end up.
Seven years ago this very
weekend Atticus and I joined
three of my brothers on a
climb up Mount Garfield.
They’d all been hiking up
here for years, but for us it
was something new. And yet
after staggering up that final
chute to the everlasting vis-
tas on that incredible summit
everything changed and I
found myself in a vivid state
of life and understood things
would never be the same
again. We’d return that fol-
lowing summer and by hik-

eleven weeks I returned to
my childhood. It was a walk

deep into that land of faerie
two rounds of the 48 in the
90 days of winter. Then, the
following winter, after
Atticus had lost his sight and
then had it restored because
of the kindness of others, we
attempted the 96 peaks in 90
days again, this time for
Angell Animal Medical
Center.
Throughout all of this peak-
bagging we adhered to
schedules and I found myself
a daily visitor to various hik-
ing websites where I could
touch base with others who
had been hooked by the
same addiction. I’d check in
several times a day, see what
others were hiking, and let-
ting them know what we’d
been doing, and planned to
do.
And then something hap-
pened.

them. It’s love gone mad.
Enchantment falls upon us
and this is all we care about.
We hike the 48 the first time
around because it serves the
purpose they were set out to
do – to get people to see
peaks other than the
Presidential Range and
Franconia Ridge. And if we
do 48 again and again we
begin to fall into a rut. If we
collect those peaks enough,
we start to diminish the gift
of returning to the magic of
our youth when all was pos-
sible. We make the mistake
of bringing the very life of
striving, competition, and
ego that we were so very
happy to leave behind when
we first glimpsed this incred-
ible place. And we do it all
because we’re working
towards yet another accom-
plishment – perhaps earning
a scroll, a patch, or our
names on a website. All so

avoid them like the plague,
for I see in many who post
there the same mania I was
urged on by and reminded
that what we see dislike
about others is what we rec-
ognize in ourselves.
During the last three years
Atticus and I no longer hike
with a plan. Instead we visit
the woods, get their good tid-
ings, and fulfill our souls. It
feels much better this way. It
feels the way it is supposed
to. Each walk in the woods,
each summit reached is once
again a gift. And now it’s
done for the right reasons.
Not so we can say to others,
look what we’ve done, but so
that we can feel the magic
the way it was supposed to
be, the way poets and
painters have always felt
about such places.

Adventures in
Homesteading
Reflecting the
Summer Sun
Just about the middle of our
garden is a sunflower stalk
with pale yellow flowers
crowding it’s crown. While
Ryan and I haven’t measured
it, our reasonable guess is
that it stands eight feet tall or
so. It rises above the carrots,
beets, kale, beans, perennial
onions, and cranberry vines

ious directions. It also rises
easily above the glowing
echinacea flowers and wil-
lowy cosmos that are inter-
spersed between the vegeta-
bles, as well as the pagoda
dogwood I’ve dwarfed over
time with persistent pruning.
It is only when one sees the
old apple tree just north of
the garden that the eye lights
on anything clearly taller
I did plant a few sun-
flowers seeds along some
garden edges this spring, but
it seems likely that this was a
volunteer, sprouting from
seed dropped last year by its
ancestral flower-head. If
memory serves, it was late to
sprout, waiting until mid-
June to reach roots into the
soil and put out those first,
two distinctly oval leaves.
Since then it’s been reaching
steadily upward for the high
summer sun. Unlike the
other sunflowers around the
garden that began blooming
weeks, even a month, ago,
this one kept to itself, climb-
ing higher and higher until it
all other garden-mates,
inclduing Ryan and I.
Finally, it could claim all the
sunshine that was to be had,
and it began to bloom.
While other parts of the
garden are beginning to hint
at the tired greens of late
summer and the subtle yel-
low-browns of approaching
fall, this sunflower is shining
bright and sure, radiating
sunshine even as the shad-
ows grow long. The echi-
nacea thickets dispersed
around the clearing are doing
their part, filling the air a
pink hue and the vibrations
of dozens of pollinators.
Still, if one takes a closer
from these stalwart cone-
flowers. They’re bright, but
peaking.
The winter squash, to the
east of The Sunflower, has
athletically twined its way
through the raspberries and
jumped onto the drooping
limbs of the old apple. For
weeks, the bright sandy-
orange squash blooms have
wreathed the branches, sug-
gesting a practically tropical
vibe (of arboreal-bromeliad
relationships). While the
squash is still committed to
rocketing through the tree-
tops, its leaves closer to the
ground are beginning to yel-

Leeches: They
Don’t All Suck
Blood
Author: Meghan
McCarthy McPhaul
Most folks who’ve enjoyed a
dip in the local swimming
hole – whether at a pond,
lake, or river – have probably
found, on occasion, a leech
or two stuck to their skin
while toweling off after-
wards. Although some might
think these slimy little suck-
ers are gross, they mean –
and do – no harm. They’re
just hungry.
“With some 600 species,
there’s a surprising amount
of diversity,” said Adam
Weaver, a biology professor
at Vermont’s Saint Michael’s
College. And the majority of

from its host. It may not need
another meal for several
months.
Leeches of the bloodsucking
variety don’t just like
humans, of course; they’ll
also feed on other mammals,
as well as on fish and
amphibians. They attach
with both anterior and poste-
rior suckers. The latter is
mainly for adhesive purpos-
es; the bloodsucking happens
through the anterior sucker,
which contains the leech’s
teeth.
These segmented worms are
sensitive to changes in
movement and light, so a
swimmer splashing through
the water may attract a hun-
gry leech’s attention. When
they’re not hungry – or look-
ing for a mate – leeches tend
to stay hidden beneath rocks,
logs, and other debris in the
water. During winter, they
survive by burrowing into
mud below the frostline.

or in reconstructive surgery.
Basically, the leech’s combi-
nation of anticoagulants and
suction helps restore healthy
blood flow to the affected
area: “It’s pulling fresh blood
through the tissue that might
die otherwise.”
While pharmaceutical anti-
coagulants tend to be strong

Moving on, after you have
become conscious of your
current feelings and declut-
tered your emotional closet;
and after you’ve become
mindful of what you truly
want in your life and under-
stand how to “create your
fate”, you are then ready for
your final step.
Step 3) Forgiveness and
Gratitude – Forgive yourself
and others for all harm and
damage and never look back.
Engler says, “When you look
back, you re-engage your

if you plan on using them
fresh in salads, beverages or
for snacking. Harvest slicing
cucumbers when the skin is
firm, bright green and the
fruit is six to nine inches
long. You can leave burpless
cucumber varieties on the
vine a bit longer. They have
been bred to maintain their
mild flavor when harvested
at ten to twelve inches in
length.
Impress your family with the
crisp, mild flavor of the long
Japanese cucumber. Pick
these when they are 12 to
18” long. The flavor remains
mild and skin easy to digest
despite the longer size.
Misshapen and bitter fla-
vored cucumbers are usually
the result of drought,
improper fertilization, and
large fluctuations in temper-
atures. These are safe to eat
but may not have the best
flavor. Remove about an
inch of the stem end and peel
to remove some of the bitter
flavor.
Compost poor quality fruit
that is not suitable for eating.
Then adjust your care to
ensure better quality cucum-

Rehabilitation Center
Recreational Therapist
Michael Denmeade says that
therapeutic recreation can
improve the health and qual-
ity of life for people who
experience a disability. “It
benefits physical health by
keeping people active, while
boosting mental and emo-
tional health by helping peo-
ple stay engaged in the activ-
ities they love. Adaptive
equipment like that offered
by Vermont Adaptive Ski &
Sports, combined with a
patient’s determination,
extends what’s possible for
the people we serve.”
Belinda Needham-
Shropshire, MAHHC
Director of Rehabilitation
Services, calls Vermont
Adaptive Ski & Sports an
important partner for the
Rehabilitation Center and its
patients. “We’ve seen how
the tools they provide can
transform lives, with the
right training,” says
Needham-Shropshire. “It’s
why we’re proud to sponsor
the Long Trail Ride, the VT
100 Endurance Race and
more. And we’re delighted to
host them once again to show
off their innovative, life-
changing technology and
programs.”

this special avian category.
At the Science Center, an
entire exhibit is dedicated to
them. They even have addi-
tional raptors that are used
only in special programs, like
those which will occur dur-
ing this event.
In an exciting presentation
titled A Kettle of One, Eric
Masterson – Ireland native
and expert ornithologist –
will speak about his journey
with Broad-winged Hawks.
Masterson tracked Broad-
winged hawks’ southward
migration by bicycle in 2016,
travelling from New
Hampshire to the Panama
Canal over five months. His
incredible story of research,
resilience, and reflection is
sure to captivate. The presen-
tation is from 11:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. and is best for
ages 15 to adult.
At Up Close to Animals pre-
sentations, guests can view a
different live raptor including
the Peregrine Falcon, Broad-
winged Hawk, Turkey
Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk,
and Sharp-shinned Hawk.
Programs run on the hour
from 11:00 a.m. through 3:00
p.m. A naturalist will speak
about the unique adaptations
and characteristics that make
each raptor ambassador spe-
cial.
Additionally, Wings of Dawn
Rehabilitation Center of
Henniker will release reha-
bilitated raptors back into the
wild from Science Center
property. Raptor releases are
scheduled at 12:30 and 2:30

p.m. The center receives
many injured raptors in need
of specialized care each
year. Their goal is to rehabil-
itate animals back to full
health and release them back
into the wild. Visitors will
have the opportunity to wit-
ness this monumental
moment in a raptor’s life.
Amidst all of the excitement,
Science Center docents will
rove the live animal exhibit
trail with live raptors on dis-
play for guests to view.

tion are from 9:30 a.m. to
