I first met "Dick" Daschbach when we served together in the NH House of Representatives. Dick and I formed an immediate bond and along with our colleagues, particularly V. Michael Hutchings and Deborah "Arnie" Arnesen we formed the backbone of a "peanut gallery" sitting at the back of Reps Hall together and offering a running commentary on the proceedings to one another.Dick's first job after college but before Law School was as a worker in the US Senate Post Office. He worked a half day and went to Law School the other half.In 1967 He and his wife vacationed in NH on Lake Spoffard and fell in love with NH. Shortly after that they bought a home in Walpole, NH. He became a legal services lawyer for the area.New Hampshire would turn out to be Dick and Virginia's "Spot on the Porch" for the balance of their lives (so far!)On the last day of class in his first year of Georgetown Law School Dick received a call from the office of Senator Russell Long asking him to come and work for Sen. Long. On that same day his first child was born and Dick was appointed as Maritime Counsel to Long's Merchant Marine Committee. US Senate: Office of the legendary Senator Russell Long of Louisianna. Senator Long was the son of Huey Long, also a legendary figure in Louisiana politics.He was appointed Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter. Richard retired from that position upon the election of Ronald Reagan.Assistant to the President: Seafarer's Union, a Union representing the men and women who work on US flagged ships. Trying to raise the work standards all over the world so US ships, and employees, could be more competitive.At 74 he was appointed Chief Judge of the Federal Workers Compensation Appeals Board, a position he would hold for 4 years before returning to New Hampshire full time in his retirement.

Sununu had earlier threatened to veto HB 52, having made several public remarks about vetoing a voting district map which, quote, “Doesn't pass the smell test.” The NH Legislature passed the bill anyway along party lines, changing a competitive map which had remained largely the same for 140 years and had flipped three times over the last decade, to an uncompetitive map which packed Democrats into one district and Republicans into the other to guarantee a Republican Congressional seat.   It also gerrymandered the NH House, Senate & Executive Council maps which Sununu later signed, including a rigged NH Senate map which creates a veto-proof majority despite an evenly-divided state.Alternative Congressional maps were drawn by the legislature, including SB 200, the last legislative attempt to pass a gerrymandered map.   The NH State Supreme Court issued a statement saying that if a map wasn't agreed upon by the end of May, a special master would create a “least changed” map.  That map was released Friday, and oral arguments will be heard May 31 over the objections of NH House and Senate leadership.Action by the public changed the debate in NH. What was a secret process 10 years ago faced unprecedented public scrutiny, engagement and pressure.Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we have, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.More information at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org

You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.The impact of gerrymandering is poised to have an even larger impact on the purple state of New Hampshire. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has pledged to veto a Congressional map passed by the legislature which makes the state's two seats uncompetitive – one manipulated to benefit Republicans, the other packed with Democrats. Currently, the state has an all Democrat federal delegation.But Sununu also needs to take a harder look at the NH Senate and NH Executive Council maps passed last Friday, which guarantee veto-proof majorities in a state which over the last decade has swung both ways.The legislature has ignored the overwhelmingly negative public testimony on the maps, with hundreds of pieces of written and in-person testimony from residents around the state. Sununu has made several statements professing that he will only sign bills which, quote, “Pass the smell test,” but so far he has signed the gerrymandered NH House districts, and has taken no positions on the NH Senate or NH Executive Council maps. The proposed rigged maps would give as much as a 16-8 majority in the NH Senate, and a 4-1 advantage in the Executive Council, a body which advises the NH Governor on state contracts and department heads.Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we HAVE, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.

You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping our government by and for the people.After months of promising an open and fair process, the NH Senate Election Law Committee voted last Monday to recommend two rigged voting districts for U.S. Congress and NH Executive Council to the full Senate. The NH Senate will vote on the gerrymandered maps on Thursday, March 17.Amendments to these maps have been rumored for months, but Republican party hardliners pressured the Election Law Committee to make no changes, despite almost universal condemnation in hearings in the NH House and Senate committees. The Congressional map gerrymanders to make both districts uncompetitive, guaranteeing the outcome of the election. The Executive Council map is a repeat of the 2010 “Dragon District,” which packs liberal-leaning towns into District 2, leaving adjoining districts more conservative.While Governor Chris Sununu has made statements asking for a redrawing of the maps, there is no evidence that the Governor's office has made counter proposals. It looks increasingly as if his comments were orchestrated for political cover rather than protection on the voters. Whether floor amendments will be proposed Thursday is an open question. If the maps are approved, they head to Governor Sununu's desk. Granny D said, “Democracy is not something we HAVE, it's something we DO.” For the American Democracy Minute, I'm  Brian Beihl.

HB 138 would allow inmates who have been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole to get a parole hearing after serving 25 years of the sentence. This bill would affect roughly 190 inmates currently being held in New Hampshire. This bill would ensure that these prisoners have not been wrongfully convicted. It would also give the state the option of releasing prisoners who are elderly and are no longer a danger to society. This would save the taxpayers of New Hampshire a great deal of money.

(MC) NH History New Hampshire Ski History 34 active ski areas 21 of them have chair lifts http://newenglandskimuseum.org/new-hampshire-ski-history-for-4rth-graders/ New Hampshire was the center of skiing in the United States from the 1930s into the 1950s. Skiing first became popular in northern Europe then crossed the Atlantic to the cities of New York and Boston. Because New Hampshire was so close to Boston, skiing became very important to New Hampshire. Three groups of people were important to skiing growing in New Hampshire. First, the workers from Scandinavia who moved to the paper mills around Berlin. Second, college students from Dartmouth College who were part of the Dartmouth Outing Club. And third, people who were members of the Boston-based Appalachian Mountain Club. New Hampshire was the first place in America to have many things you see now at every ski resort. New Hampshire was the first to have trails cut just for downhill skiing. The Granite State was the first to have overhead wire-rope ski tows and an aerial tramway. Many famous races and styles of racing took place in New Hampshire. Professional ski patrols and ski schools began in New Hampshire. These new ideas, plus ski villages, started a whole new tourism industry. Rope Tows and Chairlifts Even though the first rope tow in the United States was in Woodstock, Vermont, many new ideas for getting skiers up a mountain were developed in New Hampshire. Two new style rope tows opened in 1936. The Dartmouth Outing Club built one on Oak Hill in Hanover and the second one was built at Moody's Farm in Jackson. These used wire instead of fiber to make the rope. This rope was then suspended above the skiers' heads rather than at waist level. The skier grabbed a J-shaped handle that was attached to the rope and was pulled up the mountain. The first chairlift in New Hampshire was built in 1937 on Rowe Mountain in Gilford, just a year after chairlifts were invented in Idaho. The next year, 1938, two exciting and new ski lifts were built. One was at Cannon Mountain in Franconia and the other was at Mount Cranmore in North Conway. The first chairlift in the Eastern U.S. at Belknap Mountain, now called Gunstock. Cannon Mountain built the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway. A tramway is a large box that hangs from a cable. Many people can board a tram and travel to the top of the mountain together. Many people thought that trams would be the most popular ski lifts in America, but chairlifts became cheaper to run and easier to fix. New Hampshire's Legacy New Hampshire was a hub for skiing through the 1930s through the 1950s. The state helped promote the state through colorful maps, posters, and brochures. Later, Vermont and ski areas further west became more popular than New Hampshire. Even so, skiing is still very important to New Hampshire today. In 2006-7 people spent over 700 million dollars in the state because of skiing. Ski resorts also employed over 17,000 people during that year. It isn't surprising that New Hampshire lost its early lead in the development of skiing in America. What is remarkable is that New Hampshire played such a large role in the rise of skiing. Ski resorts and areas might be very different if it wasn't for the ideas and inventions of New Hampshire skiers.   Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?
