1 5th Digging Into Native History in New
Hampshire, 7 p.m., Hills House, 211
Derry Rd., Hudson, sponsored by the
Hudson Historical Society. Abenaki history
has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of
conquest, a conquering culture that placed little
value on the Indian experience and a strategy of
self-preservation that required many Abenaki to
go underground, concealing their true identities
for generations to avoid discrimination and
persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archeological
evidence that shows their deep presence here,
inches below the earths surface. Goodby is an
associate professor of Anthropology at Franklin
Pierce University. He holds a PhD in anthropology
from Brown University and has spent the last 30
years studying Native American archaeological
sites in New England. Free; donations appreciated.

of All is well; speedeth all to their rest have resonated through the
hearts of countless families mourning the loss of their loved ones.

Do You Have the Right Plan?

Allison accepted the invitation and ran in memory of Army Chief
Warrant Officer Matt Lourey. Running in memory of Matt, she was
asked if she would like to have family notified and Allison declined
wanting to honor this soldier in a quiet and honorable way.
Just before the race was to take place, she suffered an injury and
was not sure she would be able to finish the run. The event was
timed, and the runners had to make checkpoints during the race to
continue on. On race day, Allison was determined to start the race
and get as far as she could even with her injury. With a photo of
Matt Lourey pinned to her backpack, she set out on her run.
As Allison ran she noticed a woman running beside her and
looking at her. After a few seconds the woman blurted out thats

While they continued to run Allison explained she had played

odds of Lisa seeing her husbands photo on the backpack in the large

As the race continued, Lisa moved ahead and completed the run

Amazing Adventure - continued from front page

walked these very roads with the Savior. Considering the joy
it must have been to have his personal attention, makes the
instruction he left us in his word, his story, so much more
precious.
Another advantage of walking was that it was often far less
hazardous than the 20-person van rides taken along cliff-edged
roads and around never-ending curves. The people met along
the way, going about the business of their daily lives, was also
a real treat!
This place of adventure was not a fairytale land and story.
This was a journey over rough terrain and through aged
buildings where the Messiah had spoken with his people and
each traveler rejoiced to be there. A special chapter in the
journey was to the seashore where the Apostle Peter may very
well have cast out his fishing nets and brought in a great haul.
One could almost smell the smoke and taste the fish frying on
the embers as these men would have sat together to eat on the
shore and be taught by the Master.
One of the last chapters of their journey was the experience
of a watery trek on foot through Hezekiahs Tunnel where the
water was often waist deep and the tunnel was darker than
night.
There were numerous hours of exploration of churches and
buildings whose architecture was exquisite and the countryside
impeccably clean. A walk through the red sands of the desert
brought our travelers to the home of the Bedouins where all
enjoyed the experience of eating a dinner of chicken and
vegetables which had been cooked in holes in the ground for
several hours. The meal was shared with strangers they barely
knew but ended with friendships they will never forget. Those
who went on this journey left a part of themselves with these
people and in these places.
Another special chapter would include the day spent visiting
with fellow Christians in the town of Bethlehem at the church
of Pastor Naim Kury where the journeying pastors opened the
Bible, the real-life account of Christ, and shared His words.
Preaching and teaching in the Masters native land was more
than mere speaking, it was touched by the impact of the life of
whom they spoke, their Master, their Messiah, their Lord. The
experience was truly amazing! As one of our travelers put it,
we shared the same heart, experienced the same love and
were instantly united.
The numerous hours of walking through vineyards and
desert terrain throughout the country of Israel were incredible.
The hillsides where Jesus would have sat and spoken with his
people were beautiful to look upon and often breathtaking.
The chapter in their journey where they experienced the
celebration of Independence Day alongside these very stoic
people was both humbling and heart-piercing. They are a
proud people with a beautiful land and heritage to protect.
This book of written words, the Bible, is for all ages and
all times, and this group walked through its pages. It has a
happily ever after for each of us as we read, understand, and
accept the great gift of salvation the Messiah provided for each.
The pictures taken were far too numerous to share, but a few
special photos are included for your enjoyment. lf you want
to know more about the writer of this book, come visit us. Just
like the friendliness of the people our travelers encountered,
you will encounter a warm welcome at Tabernacle Baptist
Church in Litchfield. We encourage you to come and meet the
author of this incredible book, the Bible. Like these travelers
returning home from their trip of a lifetime, this is a journey
well worth taking.

Thumbs down to the Koch brothers very
long and very deep reach into every facet of
American politics. Their front group, Americans
For Prosperity, have called me by twice and
mailed me a half dozen times now shilling for
their candidate in Tuesdays special election. If
they can devote that much effort to one election
for a single seat in a 400 member state legislature
of a small state, I can only imagine how much
influence they purchase nationwide. Its supposed
to be a government for all the people, not just the
ultra rich and not for corporations at all. Question
everything, especially corporate propaganda and
media. They are not on our side.
Thumbs up in support of Campbell High
School administration. If you dont want to see an
F on your transcript, then dont earn an F. There
are more than enough ways to earn better grades.
Thank you for your service and assistance.

Thumbs down. I am no longer buying Gala
apples. They are too big, they weigh a pound a

Thumbs down to all the coaches and parents
of these young sports teams. Why do they all
have to win a trophy just for participating? You
are not doing them any favors. We are just
making a generation that thinks they deserve a
reward for everything they do. Real life is not like
that. Give the trophies to the ones who win, and
let the others know that they did a great job.

Monday evening, under the Memorial Field lights and rain, prior
to the last home game of the season, each senior was introduced
with their parents and other family members. The players presented
flowers to their mothers and an engraved medallion to their fathers.
For those who have seen their children play sports growing up, for
many this marks a change where practice schedules and games no
longer rule the calendar attached to the refrigerator door. Every adult
that provides the support needed for young people to play sports and
promotes the social development that team sports builds needs a
serious thank you for all their time.
