Washington Swamp week in Review

Washington Swamp Review• PO Box 118 • North Salem, NH 03073

THE PRESIDENT: So the
vote is now in, and our coun-
try has a truly great new
Supreme Court justice.
We’re very honored by it.
He’s a — he’s an outstanding
man, an outstanding person.
What they put him and his
family through — the
Democrats, over the last few
weeks — is horrible. If you
look at what he’s had to
endure – horrible, false state-
ments. Just — it doesn’t get
any worse.
But the beautiful thing is, he
is now in. He’s going to be
there for a long time. And
he’s just an outstanding intel-
lect, outstanding scholar, a
brilliant lawyer — brilliant at
everything he’s ever done.
So we’re very happy. And
the vote was a — it was a
great vote, a very historic
vote.
Q (Inaudible) phone call?
THE PRESIDENT: I spoke
to — just — I just spoke to
him two minutes ago. And I
spoke to the justice’s family.
And he’s — he’s so excited.
So we have now Justice
Kavanaugh. And he’s a ter-
rific man, terrific person.
Q What did you say to him?
THE PRESIDENT: I just
congratulated him. I said,

I want to thank the Justice
Department because they
also — they were working
along with the FBI really
hard, really fast. And I think
this actually — the extra
week delay was a terrific
thing for the process.
So we have a great new
Supreme Court justice, and
he’s going to be there for
many years. We are very,
very proud of him and what
he and his family had to
endure. And it’s a great tes-
tament. And it’s a testament
also to our country.

We are looking for journal-
ists for a new paper to fight
fake news and give a con-
servative’s viewpoint on the
issues of the precious week

has got to dance. I am an
editor and publisher of a
newspaper and I am joining
the dance. I am not a writer

From Front Page
For a small state, a lot of
important things have hap-
pened in New Hampshire,
much of which is captured in
the collections and exhibits
at the New Hampshire
Historical Society in
Concord.
One of 17 museums on The
Trail, the Society holds the
largest collection related to
the history of the Granite
State with more than 3 mil-
lion objects, manuscripts,
photographs, newspapers,
and more. In commenting on
what makes NH history so
remarkable, Elizabeth
Dubrulle, director of educa-
tion and public programs at
the Society, began with colo-
nial history.
“During the colonial era, NH
was renowned for providing
thousands of mast pine trees
for the British navy,” she
said. “These trees helped the
British navy expand to one of
the largest in the world and
allowed Britain to cultivate a
vast overseas empire that
stretched across the globe.
By the time of the American
Revolution, however, she
noted colonists no longer
wanted to provide trees for
the British, which led to the
Pine Tree Riot of 1772.
“Locals in Weare refused to
surrender their trees to the
Crown and drove out of town
the provincial official sent to
claim the trees,” she
explained. “In most of the
Merrimack Valley, the con-
troversy over pine trees was
a local cause that made the
American Revolution real
for many people in NH.”
Dubrulle also cited other
colonial points of facts about
NH, some of which include:
l Two-thirds of the American
force at the Battle of Bunker
Hill in June 1775 were from
New Hampshire. Although
the British eventually won
that battle, the outnumbered
American force had inflicted
so many casualties that a
British general commented,
“One more such victory will
cost us the war.”
l NH men also predominated
in the Battle of Bennington
of August 1777, which led
directly to a major British
surrender at the Battle of
Saratoga two months later.
She also cited other NH facts
and milestones, including:
l The first intercollegiate
sporting event in American
history occurred on Lake
Winnipesaukee in the 1850s
when Harvard beat Yale in a
crew competition.
l NH saw the establishment
of the first summer camps for
kids starting in the 1880s.
The idea was that city kids
could spend a week or more
every summer at a NH camp
so they could get a taste of
the “great outdoors.” The
North Country Cmmunity News!
camp movement eventually
spread to all over the United
States.
l NH had the first abolitionist
senator with John Parker
Hale of Dover, who after
1846 spent his career arguing
against slavery, which was
legal in NH until 1857.
l The White Mountains
inspired generations of
artists and fueled a move-
ment to establish state forests
that would protect America’s
scenic landscapes when the
Weeks Act was passed in
1911. White Mountain art is
considered one of the leading
schools of 19th-century
American art. When a British
artist returned to England
after a visit to the White
Mountains and exhibited his
painting of NH in the fall to
Queen Victoria, she refused
to believe that the trees could
be so colorful. Luckily, he
had brought back some fall
leaves from NH trees to
prove it to her.
For Dubrulle, though, there
are compelling reasons for
the study of history that go
beyond facts and dates that
she said underscores the
importance of all member
institutions on The Trail.
“Understanding how and
why we got where we are
today is essential to moving
forward productively as a
society,” she said. “A solid
education in history gives
people the critical insight
they need to make good deci-
sions about today.”
“The problems our ancestors
faced are remarkably similar

to the problems we still have
today--immigration, jobs,
poverty, a changing econo-
my, clashing cultures, even
substance abuse,” she added.
“How did they cope with
them, and what can we learn
from them?”
In digging deeper into histo-
ry and ourselves, she said we
take a first step toward fact-
based decision making,
which provides both context
and perspective. She said we
also learn to take pride in the
Granite State.
“NH has made a very signif-
icant impact on American
history, and we should take
note of that,” she said.
“What happens here and
what the people of the
Granite State do has mat-
tered.”
At the Society, two long-
term exhibitions help tell a
portion of NH’s story with
“White Mountains in the
Parlor” and “Discovering
New Hampshire.” The for-
mer exhibit showcases some
of the best White Mountain
art in the world, while the
latter features iconic objects
from the state’s history.
In addition, a third short-
term exhibit changes annual-
ly. This fall marks the final
months to see “Making the
World Safe for Democracy,”
which uses dramatic posters
of World War I to highlight
how the people of New
Hampshire participated in
the Great War. The final day
of the exhibit is Saturday,

“Berman’s
Berman’s Bits
by Dave Berman
Greetings, and thanks for
joining me for another week.
Starting us off are a few
news stories you may have
missed. First, hey, it’s a job!
“In a city where filthy side-
walks are many residents’
No. 1 complaint,” says
California’s San Francisco
Chronicle, “City Hall has
come up with a new way to
deal with No. 2,” which is
feces deposited by the home-
less, who have nowhere else
to ...uh... go. The city budg-
ets $72.5 million per year for
street cleaning, but it’s still
not enough: a new “Poop
Patrol” has been set up with
five employees dedicated to
“actively hunt down and
clean up human waste.”
Hunt down? “We’re trying to
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (page4)
be proactive,” confirms
Public Works director
Mohammed Nuru. “We’re
actually out there looking for
it.” It’s a dirty job, so what
does it take to hire people to
do it? A $71,760 salary, plus
$112,918 in “mandated ben-
efits.” [San Francisco
Chronicle]
Next, using your head!
Guinness World Records
shared a video of a man
cracking 217 walnuts with
his head in one minute to
break a record. The video
shows S. Navin Kumar using
just his head to break the
shells of 217 walnuts
arranged on a long table. The
footage shows Kumar hold-
ing his hands behind his back
as he side-steps next to the

table and cracks the nuts one
at a time with his cranium.
Guinness said Kumar broke
the world record for most
walnuts cracked against the
head by 36 walnuts. [Bizarre
News] Hmmm, a new teen
challenge!
Finally, a sarcastic sign in
the window of a restaurant
asking people not to let their
dogs pee on the eatery's out-
side flower pot has earned
the owner a $250 fine. Duc
Nguyen, owner of Duc's
Place in New Haven, tells the
New Haven Independent he
was disgusted with people
allowing their dogs to urinate
on his pot. He thought a
humorous sign was a good
way of discouraging dog
walkers from letting pets
relieve themselves there. It
read: "Attn: dog owners.
This is a pay-per-pee flower
pot. (Pay inside or leave your
address and we'll kindly
return the favor.)" Honda
Smith, the city's public space
enforcement officer, said
Nguyen broke two city ordi-
nances for being a public
nuisance. Nguyen says he
plans to appeal.
So, it’s that time of the
year when the airwaves are
inundated with political ads.
Along with the nearly-end-
less repetition, it’s the ads
that either misrepresent or
outright lie that bother me
the most, but you know
what? Because people are so
gullible and accept anything
that echoes their agenda and
Beau from Sanbornton, NH
is on his way to an awesome
new smile!
Kennell Orthodontics Rocks!
#myKOsmile #bracesrock #smile
don’t bother to check any-
thing, the ads work and, I am
sure, will keep showing up.
“Hey, we'll be back with
more political ads after this
brief look at the news….”
I just found out that diar-
rhea is hereditary. Yeah,
apparently it runs in the
genes.
Watching the news has
become like reading a novel
that goes on and on and on
with all the twists and turns
(some quite surprising), but
the big difference is I can't
skip ahead to see how some-
thing is going to turn out
(which I really want to
know). There was one sus-
pense novel I read in which I
did look ahead to see what
was going to happen and
whether or not the character
survived – it was incredibly
riveting - tense! I think it was
the only time I have ever
done that. The book was
Andrew Klavan’s “True
Crime.” It’s about a convict-
ed killer about to be executed
for a crime he didn’t commit
and the last-minute efforts of
a person trying to stop it.
“The most difficult thing
is the decision to act, the rest
is merely tenacity. The fears
are paper tigers. You can do
anything you decide to do.
You can act to change and
control your life; and the
procedure, the process is its
own reward.” Amelia
Earhart.
Much like ski-boxing and
women's basketball, under-
water chess sounds like a
made-up activity, but appar-
ently it is popular enough
that a world championship
was held recently in London
where chess players showed
off their skills - as well as
their lung capacities. The

diving underwater to make
their moves on a chess board
submerged in a pool. The
rules require a player to
make a move before coming
up for air, and the next player
must then go underwater
until they have made a
response move. Organizers
said the aquatic twist makes
the ancient game of chess
more challenging and faster-
paced. [ezine@gopher-

Recruiting Additional Volunteers
Littleton, NH - Charron
Sundman, Interim Volunteer
Director at Littleton
Regional Healthcare, is look-
ing for approximately 20
new volunteers. According
to Sundman, “Though we
currently have a large and
vibrant group of volunteers,
there are always areas that
we can do an even better job
of customer service for our
patients and the hospital
staff.”
Research shows that vol-
unteering just three hours a
week is a wonderful way to
keep healthy. Feeling needed
and helping others is a great
way to give back to your
community. “Knowing that
you have made a patient’s
day a little bit brighter is a
wonderful feeling”, notes
Sundman.
Currently, we are looking
for men and women who can
volunteer for three hours
once or twice a week. We
are also, looking for home-
schooled high school stu-
dents who are available
between the hours of 9 am –
noon or 1-4p.m. once a
week. New volunteers get
to choose the day and time
that best fits their schedule
and they will be trained by
current volunteers.
Volunteering opportunities
that are especially needed at
the moment include greeting
patients and visitors at one of
our six volunteer desks locat-

Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer
When using a search engine
to find things on the internet
90% of people use Google,
lately Google has been under
fire for privacy issues, how
much of your personal infor-
mation is safe. There are
alternatives to Google; here
are a few I recommend from
Fossbytes.com;
Bing: The second most pop-
ular search engine is
Microsoft’s Bing, securing a
good hold in the online mar-
ket. It is more of a visual
search engine offering differ-
ent tools to users for a better
experience.
Search results on Bing are
provided by Yahoo!Search,
and its homepage has an
ever-changing background
displaying beautiful pictures
of animals, places, sports,
people, etc. For video search,
it displays a grid of large
thumbnails that offers a pre-
view if you hover over them
and plays it on the same page
with a single click
Just like Google, Bing fea-
tures ads and abilities such as
conversion, translation, spell
check, sports score, flight
tracking, etc. Bing also has
mobile apps on Android as
well as iOS and stands as one
of the best Google alterna-
tives.
Why use Bing?
Best search engine for video
search, tons of features
Special features for pro-
grammers
DuckDuckGo: If online pri-
vacy is what you seek, then
DuckDuckGo is the perfect
search engine for you. It has
quickly gained popularity
because of the user privacy it
offers. The website never
tracks you or your online
activities which means there
are no ads following you.
Moreover, it has a clean
interface and brings the
search results from Yahoo,
Yandex, and other search
engines. You can add
DuckDuckGo’s extension to
your browser to keep your
activities private.
It offers all the standard fea-
tures of a search engine like
Google but there is one cool
feature called “bangs” that is
worth mentioning. It allows
users to search directly on
other sites such as Amazon,
Wikipedia, or Youtube, by
starting their query with an
exclamation mark! (e.g. !a,
!w, !facebook)
Why Use DuckDuckGo?
Best Google alternative for

Yahoo: Yahoo has been
around longer than Google
has, and a fraction of neti-
zens still uses Yahoo! Search
for their daily queries.
Bagging the position of the
third most popular search
engine, it’s not too far behind
Bing.
Apart from looking up
search results, this Google
alternative search engine has
so much to offer. The web
portal serves as a news
aggregator, an email service,
online shopping center,
games center, travel directo-
ry, and much more. Yahoo
supports around 38 lan-
guages and is even the
default search engine for
browsers like Mozilla
Firefox.
Rather than being a stand-
alone search engine, Yahoo’s
web portal offers a variety of
services ranging from sports
to travel that are worth
checking out. Ever since
Flickr has been integrated
with the search engine, it
offers better image results
and sections like Yahoo
Answers and Yahoo Finance
brings a shedload of infor-
mation on several topics. On
the privacy front, Yahoo!
manages to perform better
than Google.
Why use Yahoo?
Tons of other services apart
from just search
QWant: Qwant is another
privacy oriented search
engine that is based in
France. The website claims
to never to record your
searches or harvest your per-
sonal data for ad-targeting.
As a privacy-focused search
website, Qwant sports many
features similar to
DuckDuckGo. One of them
is called “Qwick Search
Shortcuts” which is just like
the latter’s “Bangs” feature.
The user interface is quite
pleasing and highlights
trending topics along with
news stories on its homepage
in an organized manner. Any
term you search will be dis-
played under three cate-
gories: Web, News, and
Social. This well-categorized
search result fulfills your
query in a more efficient
manner. For music lovers,
this site has a dedicated sec-
