More than just the town of Lisbon was represented during two bridge dedications on Sunday, May 30, 2010. One bridge was for an indi- vidual, while the other was for him and countless others. The weekend as a whole was a huge one for the Town of Lisbon as it meant Lilac Time had once again come into bloom. The town was bustling with plenty of events all weekend long with a real attention on Saturday. That was when so many gathered to see or participate in, the Lilac Time Parade. Plus there were plenty of vendors with their pop ups to keep out the bright sunshine. There was also live music, speeches and all the other pieces that make an event like Lilac Time so anticipated. Plus one parking lot in downtown Lis- bon was full of rides and games that showed up on Friday and hung around until Sunday. Also on Sunday were two different bridge dedications. Though both were appropri- ate to the Memorial Day Weekend, they came about in very different manners. The first, and undoubt- edly better attended and pub- licized dedication, was at the former Salmon Hole Bridge on Routes 10 & 302, just north of Route 117. This bridge dedication came about due to State Legislation. That means there were many peo- ple involved from the initial re- quest, to the proper writing of the bill, to final passage. Then came the work of putting to- gether the day’s activities. The event was blessed with great weather and a very large turnout. The bridge was dedicated to Alan Burgess who lost his life in Iraq, as a member of the New Hampshire Army National Guard. Many stories have been written about his service, the tragedy of his death, and all that he meant to his family and friends. All I can add is that the event brought people who knew him well, family members who will always love him, and some who did not know Alan, but who respected what he had done and the meaning of the dedication of a bridge in his name. The second bridge was dedicated as the Lisbon Veter- ans Memorial Bridge. Though this took in, and was dedicated to, a much larger, ongoing number of veterans, the crowd was not nearly the same, nor were the preparations or re- quirements for the renaming. This bridge also spans the Ammonoosuc River, but is on a town road not a state road. Therefore the ability to rename the bridge fell in the capable hands of the Lisbon Selectboard and Town Man- ager. At this dedication, there was no one person to talk about, there have been hun- dreds and undoubtedly there will be more. Appropriately, during the ceremony any person who had served in the military was asked to identify themselves, and they did, because they too were part of this bridge dedication. Bottom line is that Lisbon now has two bridges with new names. Both to honor the memory and spirit of mem- bers of the armed forces. And what better time to do so than on Memorial Day Weekend, during Lilac Time.

As the weather getswarmer and the gardeningseason approaches I havereceived several questionsabout using animal manuresin the garden. Most of themanure questions have con-cerned food safety. By andlarge, animal manures arean excellent local and naturalsource of nutrients for yourgarden. They also provideorganic matter which is im-portant for good soil struc-ture. However, there are acouple of things you want tokeep in mind.
First E. coli, Listeria, andSalmonella bacteria may bepresent in fresh manure, par-ticularly when temperaturesare cool and the manure re-mains moist. Parasites suchas roundworms and tape-worms may also be present.Plant surfaces that come intocontact with these manuresmay then be contaminatedas well.
Instead of fresh manure,a better option is to use com-posted or well rotted ma-nures, and incorporate theminto your soil one month be-fore you plant your crops.Manures, even well com-posted manures, will stimu-late microbial activity in thesoil which could impede ger-mination or plant growth inthe short term. If you do usefresh manure, spread and in-corporated it 120 days beforeyou plan to harvest anycrops where the edible por-tion may come into contactwith the soil.
Also consider where themanure came from. Are theanimals healthy and do youknow how the manure hasbeen handled? Keep yourpets out of the garden asmuch as possible. Animalssuch as cats and dogs maycarry parasites that will bemore easily transferred to hu-mans than the parasites in
other types of manure. Alsobe aware that some manure,particularly fresh manure, willcontain viable weed seeds.
Naturally, washing yourhands after gardening willminimize your risk, and is arecommended practicewhether you are using ma-nures or not. Washing andpeeling all the vegetablesyou plan to eat raw is alsoimportant, particularly if youuse manures, chemical fertil-izers, or pesticides.
Sensitivity to thesepathogens, like the bacteriaand parasites listed above,can vary from person to per-son, and those who shouldbe particularly aware arepregnant women, young chil-dren, the elderly, or peoplewith illnesses which sup-press their immune system.
People in a high risk cat-egory might consider limitingtheir manure use to cropsthey will not eat (jack-o-
lanterns and flowers), cropsthey will cook, or crops wherethe edible portions rarelytouch the ground (peppers).
Finally, remember thatusing manures can, overtime, lead to a build up ofphosphorus in your soil. Thisis not harmful to your vegeta-bles, but if the levels are highenough, the phosphorus canleach into lakes and streamscausing water quality prob-lems. If you have never doneso before, or you have notdone so in a number ofyears, consider getting yoursoil tested. More information
on soil testing can be foundat this website http://extension.unh.edu/Agric/AGPDTS/SoilTest.htm
Like many safety issues,awareness is your best de-fense. If you have furtherquestions on this topic pleasecall 603-787-6944, and have awonderful gardening season.

COEXISTThis is one of the most laughable and contradictory
bumper stickers I’ve seen in a long time.The letters have symbols which roughly form these letters:
C Islam – crescent and starO Buddhism – ying & yangE Science = E=mc2X Judaism – Star of DavidI Paganism – mother earth imageS Wiccan – wiccan symbolT Christianity - CrossThe very first letter is the biggest lie.
Islam won’t coexist with anyone. The Koran [Quoron],which I have read, allows for only 3 possibilities for ‘infi-dels’; that’s ANY non-Muslim:
1. forcible conversion2. 2nd rate citizenship with an infidel slave tax3. or death[I must admit that this article recently in Fox News tries
to put a ‘reasonable face’ on the Muslim faith although I fearit is the voice of a small minority; www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/05/07/m-zuhdi-jasser-times-square-muslims-homegrown-islamist-terror-hasan-faisal/ ]
Buddhism believes in EVERYTHING which means itbelieves in nothing.
Science is self worship and allows no room for faith.Ironically, it takes more faith to believe in atoms, which wecannot see, than in the God of Nature whose fingerprintwe see in every flower, bird, cloud or star.
Judaism HAS tried to coexist, albeit surrounded by en-emies on every point of the compass. Ok, Egypt DOEShave a peace treaty, but that will only last as long as HosniMubarak stays in power.
Paganism and Wiccan are earth worship cults withminimalist followings that believe they are right and every-one else is wrong.
Christianity is the only one who offers the best andhighest coexistence of all; our being reconciled with God,our sins forgiven, our souls empowered to live godly livesin an ungodly world.
COEXIST? Not with such a disparate mix, sorry!

• 3 or 4 Boneless/skinless chicken breasts(or 6-8 thighs, if you prefer dark meat)
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt• 1 teaspoon pepper• 1-1/2 teaspoon paprika• 1/2 cup flour• 2 Tablespoons canola or olive oil• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 Tablespoons honey• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano• 1/2 cup white wine• 1/2 onion, rough chopped • 1/2 cup seeded Kalamata olives
In my endless quest for achicken recipe where bone-less/skinless breasts do notend up with a texture akin tosawdust, I came across theclassic French “ChickenVeronique,” which involvescooking chicken with grapesand wine. Sounded good,but I was in what I now referto as “My Greek FoodPhase,” where for a period ofabout 6 months I craved any-thing involving Feta or olives.I made some changes to therecipe to reflect a Greek in-fluence, including the addition of honey, cinnamon, and orange juice. It actually all workedtogether to produce golden, succulent and flavorful chicken, as well as a yummy sauce todrape over rice as an accompaniment. I’ve made this for company, and even those whodon’t usually like Kalamata olives agree their addition lends a subtle flavor enhancement tothe dish. So go rent “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” to get yourself in the proper frame of mind,and then whip up this dish for dinner. It will make you want to exclaim “OPA!”
Rinse chicken and dry with paper towels. Cut each trimmed breast across into 3 pieces.Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper and paprika, and then dredge in flour, patting off excess.In a small bowl, combine honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano, and orange juice. Set aside.In a skillet, heat the oil and lightly brown the chicken on both sides, cooking in batches, ifnecessary. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place browned chicken in an oven-proof casserole dishlarge enough to accommodate (I use an 11x7) which has been lightly sprayed with cookingspray. Sprinkle onions and olives on top of chicken. Pour off any excess oil from the skillet,then pour in the white wine to deglaze, gently stirring to remove fond (the yummy brownstuff) from the bottom of the pan. Pour this liquid into the bowl with the orange/honey mixture,stir to blend, and then pour over the chicken. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, then coverdish with foil, turn heat down to 300°F, and continue baking for 15 more minutes. Serve overhot buttered noodles, orzo, or rice.

Representative Fran Wen-delboe, surrounded bydozens of supporters, madeher candidacy for State Sen-ate District 2 official whenshe signed formal candidacypaperwork at the Secretaryof State’s office in Concordon Wednesday.
Wendelboe presented a
stack of petitions from districtvoters asking that her namebe placed on the ballot.
Pointing out the currentfiscal crisis of a 300 milliondollar deficit and the loomingadditional 600 million dollarbudget shortfall in the nextbudget, Wendelboe cited herlong and proven record of
being a take charge staunchconservative. “I’ve foughtand voted against literallyhundreds of new taxes andtax increases while in the NHHouse” stated Wendelboe.She continued, “I pledge asyour next State Senator, I willmake the hard choices andtough decisions necessaryto make government spend-ing live within existing rev-enues”. “The current Senatorand her party colleagueshave only been willing to usesmoke and mirrors to looklike they are trying to balancethe budget, but more borrow-ing, extending payments,and shell games is fiscal in-sanity” stated Wendelboe.

Today, Conservative Re-publican State Senate District2 candidate Jeanie Forrestercalled on incumbent Democ-rat State Senator DebReynolds to make the repealof the job killing LLC incometax a top priority during nextweek's special session.
"Senator Reynolds owesit to her constituents and thesmall businesses of NewHampshire to make surethere is a stand alone up ordown vote on the repeal ofthe LLC tax," said Forrester.
For months, the Democ-rat House and Senate major-
ity and Governor Lynch haveagreed with Republican law-makers that the LLC taxshould be repealed. Unfortu-nately, no Democrat has got-ten the job done and the taxis still a drain on New Hamp-shire small businesses.
"Senator Reynolds hasallowed the repeal of the job-killing LLC tax to be held hostage by special in-terests and budget gim-micks. If she is serious aboutsupporting our businesscommunity and creatingjobs, she will lead the way torepeal," added Forrester.
Despite the Democratscontrolling the House, Sen-ate and Governor's Office,this tax is still alive and welland a consensus cannot bereached on how to close theover $300 million budgetgap. Last week, SenatorReynolds was part of a De-mocrat majority that walkedaway from negotiations thatwould have cut spending toreduce this deficit.
"Walking away is not an option. The citizens ofDistrict 2 and New Hamp-shire deserve better," concluded Forrester.

Slowly, very slowly, mymind starts to wake up. In myhalf awake state I smell coolfresh air and I hear the firstbirds of the morning. Now Iremember; I am camping withfriends on a very relaxedsearch for salmon and brooktrout. Did I say camping??Well technically we are sleep-ing outside, in the backyard ofmy boss’s parent’s house onthe shoreline of Lake Francisin Pittsburg, NH. On the firstmorning we used the coffeemaker in the kitchen, but onthe second morning I insistedon camp coffee and a morn-ing fire to start the summerseason off right!
As I wake up from a freshair induced sleep, I start tonote the differences in birdsongs from the oak-pineforests in North Haverhill tothe spruce-fir forest abovethe 45th parallel. The oven-bird, cardinal, robin andvireo’s that sing all morningin my backyard are now re-placed by loons, whitethroated sparrows, black-burnian warblers and yellowbellied flycatchers. The viewfrom my tent door is phe-nomenal: Lake Francis in themorning fog… it is 4:30 am.
Coffee, breakfast, fishing,then off we go to the upperConnecticut River betweenLake Francis and the FirstConnecticut Lake. As I leavemy truck my first goal is to puta lot of distance between meand the crowds that com-monly gather at the bridgesalong the river (good roadsmake bad fishing). Into thewoods I go, head first into atangled mess of alder which ispart of an expansive wetlandalong the flood plain of theriver. This is not the easiestwalking with fly rod in hand.
I slow down and observe
the tracks in the mud: deer,bear, moose, woodcock,otter, raccoon and mink. Ri-parian forests, especiallywhen mixed with tangledstands of alder, are amongthe richest habitat types thatwe have. I get down on myknees to look at tracks andimagine being a small animaland how much protection thisjungle offers. However I am a5’ 10” bi-ped, not really de-signed to walk quicklythrough this stuff, so I con-tinue to struggle through it. Istagger to a stand ofspruce/fir which offers muchbetter walking. The gametrails continue in all directions,however I head for the riverwhich I can finally see glintingin the sunlight. Sunlight: thefisherman’s curse and thenon-fisherman’s blessing.
As I wade into the river Inotice the power and coldtemperature of the springwater. These rivers are damcontrolled; fortunately thewater is drawn off the bottom
of the lakes thus keeping thewater temperature in therivers consistently cold. Thiscold water is great for salmonand brook trout. The waterraces and runs quickly,smashing into rocks with awhite frothy spray and form-ing dark pools and eddieswhere the fish rest in thequiet water. The sunlight re-flects off everything wet cre-ating a glare that is difficult tosee through, but beautiful tolook at. What would be trulybeautiful now is the site of athree pound brook troutslamming my fly, but in thisradiant sunshine that won’thappen today.
Near the end of his book“Walden Pond”, Henry DavidThoreau wrote “Life flowsthrough us like water in ariver”. There are times todayin this fast cold water that Ithink the river is trying tosweep me away and makeme part of it. My liquid mindis swept away, fortunately mybody stays upright. I can’t
say the same for myfishing/camping partner up-stream from me.
Though the fish aren’tbiting, I am still enjoying mytime in the woods today. It isreassuring to know thatroughly 140,000 acres in thePittsburg area are protectedwith a state-owned conser-vation easement and morethan 8,000 acres are ownedby the NH Fish and GameDept. It is safe to say I will bereturning to fish here wellinto the future; this is openprotected land, free for all of
us to use respectfully.I would like to thank Les-
ley and Ruth Covell for pro-viding exceptional campingaccommodations for this trip.Don’t be surprised to lookout on your lawn some morn-ing and see my tent set upagain. I’ll make the coffee!

Business has been up anddown in the last few months.We have been able to pay allof our bills on time and stillbeen able to provide some as-sistance to folks in need, andwe have new customers findout about us every single day,but we still have a ways to go.This month one of the non-profit agencies that assist peo-ple in our area closed its doors.This may or may not increasethe number of requests that wewill get, but we would like to beready if that happens.
There are still many peoplethat have not discovered usand the time it is taking to buildup a solid regular business,has kept our Helping Handsfund at a bare minimum. Thefund we built up in the begin-ning was quickly used up last
winter, with large expenses likeheat and we have not beenable to recover to a point wherewe are able to help with all therequests we are receiving.
In order to keep our storeinteresting, we are constantlychanging things with differentclean, guaranteed items ofevery description that we havebeen collecting for many yearsto do this project. We have ex-panded our tool section to in-clude larger tools andgardening supplies. We havealso changed our clothing sec-tion into a furniture area. If youhaven't been in lately, youhaven't been in.
As business is now, we willbe able to continue to providesome assistance to those inour area in need, and we willstay open as long as we cancontinue to at least do that. Weoriginally pledged half of theprofits back into the commu-nity, but to date, and until weare able to provide for most ifnot all, of the true needs weget requests for, we have andwill take nothing for ourselves.
We are not a non-profit or-ganization, do not operate ondonations of goods, and re-ceive no grants, state or fed-eral funding. We do not want tobe limited as to who and howwe can be of service to thecommunity, by the regulationsthat come with that funding.
Our overall plan would beto purchase the building andstart a Community Center inthe upstairs, with games, a
meeting room for clubs, a placewhere the adults can gather inthe morning over coffee, andmany more ideas. The space is vacant and could be reno-vated in a very short time. Wealready have offers of dona-tions of a billiards table, a foos-ball table, an air hockey tableand several T. V.’s for videogames. But with the presentgrowth rate of the business,and the number of requests forhelp that we receive, to accom-plish this by ourselves wouldtake several years.
In the beginning, and untilwe had proved our intentions,we did not ask for any outsideassistance. (Our year-end re-port is available to anyone in-terested.) But, if we are tomake this all a reality, we arenow open to anyone whoshares our vision, to become apartner with us in this en-deavor. We now welcome anyassistance or ideas that any ofyou may have, to make this be-come a reality this summer.
If you would like to find out more about the completeplan for the Community Cen-ter, feel free to stop by thestore, next to CumberlandFarms, Tuesday thru Friday,10AM–5PM, or call 603-747-2995 and we would be glad toshare it with you.
In the meantime, if youhave not checked us out yet,you owe it to yourself to atleast see the amazing “Variety”of clean, guaranteed, lowestpriced items that we carry. Theonly complaint we hear is thatsomeone didn't check with usfirst, and paid too much some-where else. And, as always re-member that there are otherwonderful small businesses allalong the strip where you canreceive friendly personal serv-ice and find all kinds of bar-gains. All those open flags thatyou see are welcome mats, putthere for you.
Variety store updateBy David Turner
MAY GOD BLESS THIS AIRLINE CAPTAIN:
He writes: My lead flight at-tendant came to me and said,"We have an H.R. on this flight."(H.R. stands for human remains.)"Are they military?" I asked.
'Yes', she said. 'Is there an escort?' I asked. 'Yes, I already assigned
him a seat'. 'Would you please tell him
to come to the flight deck. Youcan board him early," I said..
A short while later, a youngarmy sergeant entered theflight deck. He was the imageof the perfectly dressed sol-dier. He introduced himself andI asked him about his soldier.The escorts of these fallen sol-diers talk about them as if theyare still alive and still with us.
'My soldier is on his wayback to Virginia,' he said. Heproceeded to answer my ques-tions, but offered no words.
I asked him if there wasanything I could do for him andhe said no. I told him that he hadthe toughest job in the militaryand that I appreciated the workthat he does for the families ofour fallen soldiers. The first offi-cer and I got up out of our seatsto shake his hand. He left theflight deck to find his seat.
We completed our preflightchecks, pushed back and per-formed an uneventful departure.About 30 minutes into our flightI received a call from the leadflight attendant in the cabin. 'Ijust found out the family of thesoldier we are carrying, is onboard', she said. She then pro-ceeded to tell me that the father,mother, wife and 2-year olddaughter were escorting theirson, husband, and father home.The family was upset becausethey were unable to see thecontainer that the soldier was inbefore we left. We were on ourway to a major hub at which thefamily was going to wait fourhours for the connecting flighthome to Virginia.
The father of the soldiertold the flight attendant thatknowing his son was belowhim in the cargo compartmentand being unable to see himwas too much for him and thefamily to bear. He had askedthe flight attendant if there wasanything that could be done toallow them to see him uponour arrival. The family wantedto be outside by the cargo doorto watch the soldier beingtaken off the airplane. I couldhear the desperation in theflight attendants voice whenshe asked me if there was any-thing I could do. 'I'm on it', Isaid. I told her that I would getback to her.
Airborne communicationwith my company normally oc-curs in the form of e-mail likemessages. I decided to by-pass this system and contact
my flight dispatcher directly ona secondary radio. There is aradio operator in the opera-tions control center who con-nects you to the telephone ofthe dispatcher. I was in directcontact with the dispatcher. Iexplained the situation I had onboard with the family and whatit was the family wanted. Hesaid he understood and that hewould get back to me.
Two hours went by and Ihad not heard from the dis-patcher. We were going to getbusy soon and I needed toknow what to tell the family. Isent a text message asking foran update. I saved the returnmessage from the dispatcherand the following is the text:
'Captain, sorry it has takenso long to get back to you.There is policy on this now andI had to check on a few things.Upon your arrival a dedicatedescort team will meet the air-craft. The team will escort thefamily to the ramp and planeside. A van will be used to loadthe remains with a secondaryvan for the family. The familywill be taken to their departurearea and escorted into the ter-minal where the remains canbe seen on the ramp. It is a pri-vate area for the family only.When the connecting aircraftarrives, the family will be es-corted onto the ramp and planeside to watch the remainsbeing loaded for the final leghome. Captain, most of us herein flight control are veterans.Please pass our condolenceson to the family. Thanks.'
I sent a message backtelling flight control thanks for agood job. I printed out themessage and gave it to thelead flight attendant to pass onto the father. The lead flight at-tendant was very thankful andtold me, 'You have no idea howmuch this will mean to them.'
Things started gettingbusy for the descent, approachand landing. After landing,we cleared the runway and
taxied to the ramp area. Theramp is huge with 15 gates oneither side of the alleyway. It isalways a busy area with air-craft maneuvering every whichway to enter and exit. Whenwe entered the ramp andchecked in with the ramp con-troller, we were told that alltraffic was being held for us.
'There is a team in place tomeet the aircraft', we weretold. It looked like it was allcoming together, then I real-ized that once we turned theseat belt sign off, everyonewould stand up at once anddelay the family from getting offthe airplane. As we ap-proached our gate, I asked thecopilot to tell the ramp con-troller we were going to stopshort of the gate to make anannouncement to the passen-gers. He did that and the rampcontroller said, 'Take your time.'
I stopped the aircraft andset the parking brake. I pushedthe public address button andsaid, 'Ladies and gentleman,this is your Captain speaking Ihave stopped short of our gateto make a special announce-ment. We have a passengeron board who deserves ourhonor and respect. His Nameis Private XXXXXX, a soldierwho recently lost his life. Pri-vate XXXXXX is under yourfeet in the cargo hold. Escort-ing him today is Army Ser-geant XXXXXXX. Also, onboard are his father, mother,wife, and daughter. Your entireflight crew is asking for all pas-sengers to remain in their seatsto allow the family to exit theaircraft first. Thank you.'
We continued the turn tothe gate, came to a stop andstarted our shutdown proce-dures. A couple of minuteslater I opened the cockpit door.I found the two forward flightattendants crying, somethingyou just do not see. I was toldthat after we came to a stop,every passenger on the aircraftstayed in their seats, waiting
for the family to exit the aircraft. When the family got up
and gathered their things, apassenger slowly started toclap his hands. Moments latermore passengers joined inand soon the entire aircraftwas clapping. Words of 'GodBless You', I'm sorry, thankyou, be proud, and other kindwords were uttered to the fam-ily as they made their waydown the aisle and out of theairplane. They were escorteddown to the ramp to finally bewith their loved one.
Many of the passengersdisembarking thanked me forthe announcement I hadmade. They were just words, Itold them, I could say themover and over again, but noth-ing I say will bring back thatbrave soldier.
I respectfully ask that all of
you reflect on this event andthe sacrifices that millions ofour men and women havemade to ensure our freedomand safety in these UnitedStates of AMERICA.
Footnote: As a Viet Nam Veteran I canonly think of all the veteransincluding the ones that rodebelow the deck on their wayhome and how they weretreated. When I read things likethis I am proud that our coun-try has not turned their backson our soldiers returning fromthe various war zones todayand give them the respect theyso deserve.
I know every one who hasserved their country who readsthis will have tears in theireyes, including me.
