Raindrops and Tears on Memorial Day

submitted by Susan Wellman,
Tabernacle Baptist Church
While waiting expectantly for the call that would
determine whether to march or not to march, in
Hudsons Memorial Day parade, I was reminded
of the many families who have waited expectantly
over the years for the call that their sons and
daughters would return home at any moment. For
our veterans families, it would not be a simple call
of no parade due to rain; it would have been a
far more painful call to a far more somber time in
their lives. We were disappointed by our call, but
they would have been heartbroken by theirs. Theirs
is a sacrifice of epic proportion and we are most
grateful!
Though we did not get to walk in their honor, we
did take the time to honor them. They had walked
to the end of their lives to give us the freedoms we
enjoy today, and we felt an overwhelming need to
recognize their sacrifice through a time of prayer
Courtesy photos and the personal recounting of tributes on this Day
of Remembrance. Led by Pastor Michael Small,
25 men, women and children proudly waved their
American flags as our float was driven to the end of
Tabernacles parking lot and put on display for those
who passed by.
Among enthusiastic waves, celebratory thumbs-
up signals, and noisily tooting horns, we were
blessed to stand and offer up our prayers of
gratitude, sing our patriotic songs and give tribute
to those who did not get to come home and receive
the embrace of love their families so desired to
give them. Collectively, we stood in awe of their
dedication in securing our freedom, and humbly
remembered their sacrifices. We embrace them,
and each veterans family, with our love and thanks.
Greater love hath no man than this; that a man
lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13.

Hudson-Based Granite Heat Wins 10U Hometown Tournament

submitted by Todd Crawford
Seven of the best 10U AAU teams in New England
gathered this past weekend at Lions Field and Greeley
Field in the annual Granite Heat Memorial Day
Invitational. After three days of very competitive
baseball, the host team, Granite Heat, took home
the big trophy, as they steamrolled through their five
tournament games, winning each game by at least six
runs.
The team got key contributions from all of its 11
players. Brett McKinnon continued to show why he
is the best leadoff man in the state, getting on base

every single inning of the five games and contributing
numerous booming hits to the outfield.
Andrew Dice Deely continued to make significant
contributions with his big bat and on the mound, as
he closed out the championship victory. Devin Smith
threw three strong innings to get the quarterfinal win
over Salem, and continued to hit line drives over
outfielders heads. Brady Nickerson had a couple of key
hits against Salem, played a solid first base and pitched
a couple of good innings as well. Max Francisco played
a solid infield and outfield, and had a few key hits.
Cam Kennedy continued his offensive resurgence with

all weekend long, and making multiple spectacular
plays at second base. Sean Cryan continued to show
improvement in his first year of travel baseball, hitting
the ball to all fields and making several great catches
in center field. Charlie Crawford was a line-drive
machine all weekend and pitched 4 gutsy innings to get
the championship game victory over Show Baseball of
Lawrence, Mass. Kyle Dufour continued to be superior
in all phases of the game, earning a complete game
12-2 victory over the Quincy Red Stockings in the
semi-finals, and then almost hitting a grand slam in the
championship game. DJ Moose Thibeault continued
to show why he is an all-world catcher, catching almost
a lot of big hits and played a great first base in the semis
and championship game. Logan MacEachern pitched
solid innings in a couple of games and continued to
show why he is one of the most improved 10-year-olds
in town.
The other Hudson-based team, the New Hampshire
Diamond Devils, also did very well this weekend,
winning both of their qualifying games. Their weekend
ended in the quarterfinals on Monday morning, as they
fell to Quincy 6-5.
Both teams now move on to the AAU playoffs starting
on Saturday.

10U Granite Heat defeats The Show Baseball Academy of Lawrence, Mass.,
18-10, to take Memorial Day Invitational Tournament.

Cornell physicist/lecturer Richard Feynman argued when any new ideas are offered for consideration,
they should be tested by means of skeptical thinking and should stand up to rigorous questioning.
Feynman lectured:
If a theory or proposed law disagrees with experiment (or observation), its wrong. In that simple this work (https://thsresearch.wordpress.
statement is the key to science. It doesnt make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesnt com), we have shown that Natural Factors

its wrong. Thats all there is to it. activity fully explain the Earths tropospheric
Sir Karl Popper, an Austrian-British philosopher and professor, is generally regarded as one of the
greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century. Popper is known for his rejection of the classical
inductivist views on the scientific method, in favor of empirical falsification: A theory in the empirical
sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can and should be scrutinized by
decisive experiments or comparisons with real data.
That held until politicians with a globalist viewpoint were searching for a cause that would drive
their globalization goals. The Club of Rome was an organization formed in 1968 consisting of current
and former heads of state, UN (United Nations) bureaucrats, high-level politicians (both parties) and
government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists and business leaders from around the globe. It
raised considerable public attention in 1972 with its report The Limits to Growth. In 1991, the club on something or other, reach for your wallet, because youre being had.
published The First Global Revolution in which they decided:
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global
warming...would fit the bill...It does not matter if this common enemy is a real one or...one invented for
the purpose.
That is when massive investment began into building a case for their cause of the UN, global
universities, scientists and government agencies. To ensure an alignment around the theory that we are
responsible for all bad things that happen and paint them as unprecedented, they orchestrated reports
in exchange for financial support (in trillions of dollars). Meanwhile instead of engaging and supporting
critical thinking and testing of hypothesis, there was concerted effort to paint anyone not supporting their
theory as deniers with not so subtle attempts to liken them to holocaust deniers and those who denied the
dangers of cigarettes. They claimed there was a 97 percent consensus on this threat.
Scientists practicing the scientific method who questioned the consensus, were demonized, stripped
where possible of their role in universities and in government agencies. Many have remained silent to
keep their positions. A few courageous whistle blowers have emerged from the UN, government and
universities, but they have been attacked by other scientists and generally ignored by the media, which,
journalists to battle, discredit or deny airtime to any skeptics.
The pause the media never mentioned
Until the last strong El Nio brought its normal spike in global temperatures,
there was much ado about what was being called a pause of almost 19 years in
global temperature.
The first efforts
made to address
this inconvenient
the data closer into agreement with the
models (instead of rethinking the theory
and models as Feynman and Popper would
argue). Then they got temporary help
from El Nio in 2016. Note however, in
involving solar, volcanic and oceanic
and surface temperatures. And, that CO2
plays no significant role. I have published
numerous papers on the issues with
temperature measurements, on the ways the
oceanic and solar cycles drive climate cycles including the warming of the dust bowl years, the cooling
that sparked fear of an ice age in the 1960s and 1970s, and the warming from 1979 to 1998.
As for the consensus, the late great Dr. Michael Crichton, author of the Best Seller State of Fear on
this topic, said Historically, the claim of consensus is the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid
debate by claiming the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees
Lets be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the
business of politics. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The
greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus (Galileo, Newton,
Einstein, etc.). He concluded: There is no such thing as consensus science. If its consensus, it isnt
science. If its science, it isnt consensus. Period.
Before scientists do research, and media spread scare stories, they ought to look at the work of
Feynman and Popper and Crichton and watch our series on HCTV. Bad science leads to bad policies.
Bad policies harm good people.
