at a price thatwont breakyour wallet!

Happy Hunting!

Winter anglers in New Hampshire have had some trout stockedespecially for them this fall. The New Hampshire Fish and GameDepartment stocks trout every year during the fall months, mostlyto bolster the winter ice fishery. This should translate into someexciting action for winter anglers, according to Inland FisheriesDivision Chief Jason Smith.

Anglers going after trout can find lists of waters that remain opento the taking of trout year round on the Fish and Game website.For lakes and ponds, visit www.fishnh.com/fishing/trout-year-round.html. For rivers and streams, seewww.fishnh.com/fishing/trout-streams.html. Rules for waterbod-ies with special regulations are listed in the N.H. FreshwaterFishing Digest, available from license agents or on the Fish andGame website at www.fishnh.com/fishing/publications.html.

Following is a list of New Hampshire lakes and ponds that arescheduled to be stocked with trout during the fall of 2015 (pleasenote that the list below is the plan for this year. There are manymore New Hampshire waterbodies open for year-round fishing

than are included on this list): Story continues on page B3

Autumn colors came late toNew England woods this year.As summer ends, leaves stopmaking the green pigment onschedulesignaled by shorterdaysbut it is the colderweather that causes the brighter

pigment mixes of reds, purplesand oranges. It was a warmautumngood for walking in

the woods, but not so good ifyou want your autumn woods-walk to be coupled with the

usual bright colors. No matter,all good things come to thosewho wait, and this autumn wasno exception.

There is no scientific measureof the quality of the fall foliageand everyone always has differ-ent opinions as to the fallfoliage season. Though late, Ithought this year was as good asit gets. One royal-red patch ofstaghorn sumac turned early

and stayed late and brightenedmy daily commutenot allwoodsy experiences require a

walk in the woods.

Except for the brown leaves ofoaks and beech still hanging on,the leaves have all fallen nowand we have one of the moreunder-appreciated times of yearto walk in the woods. I sayunder-appreciated because themost common word I hear todescribe this time of year isgray. This time of year is any-thing but gray to me.

After leaf-fall is one of myfavorite times to be in thewoods. There are no bugs toswat; no snow to trudgethrough; and plenty to see.Without the deep layers ofgreen leaves, you can see farinto the woods. Stone walls,cellar holes, small streams,lichen-encrusted boulders,

boundary line blazes, old farmroads and logging trails pop-upduring a walk in the woods atthis time of year. The only thingobscuring my vision is topogra-

phy and distance.

On a recent walk in Weeks StatePark in Lancaster with a group

of foresters, I saw two of thebiggest butternut trees I haveever seenbutternut areuncommon and becoming moreuncommon because of acanker-disease. The butternutwere on the slopes of Mt.Prospect which is an ancientvolcano, Im told. The soils areenriched from this geologywhich is why the butternut, andother uncommon plants, aregrowing there. Spotting the but-ternut was helped by thelearned eyes of the foresters onthe walk. But for most of thewalk we were looking downsince our task was to inspect the

water bars and culverts andother best management prac-tices installed after a timberharvest. But, foresters eyesdont stay on the ground toolong when there are trees to seeand these 20-inch diameter but-ternuts with loosely braided

bark jumped out at us. Im notsure we would have seen themif we were walking through thelush green foliage of summer.

This is a more colorful time ofyear in the woods than it isoften given credit forand Imnot just talking about the blazeorange all should wear duringhunting season. Tree bark hascolor and texture making theindividual tree stems stand outin a forest. There is the blue-gray of beech, the pinkish whiteof paper birch, the purple-black

of black birch, the silveryellow birch, the gray-wash, the olive-brown o

pine and the reddish-bhemlock. If you haventhese bark colors, next tiwalk in the woods, lthem.

Bark colors and texturby tree age and growingtion and also by the ey

beholder. Ive learnedhave different ways ofand describing bark encourage you to develown words to descrmany bark colorsbutdont call them all g

brown.

Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) forthe weird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you dont haveto.

If you ever see me out and

about, be kind and be awarethat I am losing my hearing, soplease accommodate me. Theother night, dinner conversationturned to Plymouth being con-sidered as a host to a marinaradispensary. Talk about a wasteof time, effort, and resources! Imean, all you have to do is gothe store and buy a jar... knowwhat I mean, jelly bean?

The trouble with advance dead-lines I labor under is that whenI put this offering together, time

passes, rendering somethingtimely to a thats old news sta-tus. That said, November 20was the day WHOM-FM start-ed its non-stop Christmas music

(and the day I stopped listen-ing). I am thinking, why dontwe just skip Thanksgiving???

Time for some brutal honesty! I

hope that Kansass WestboroBaptist church of sick hatersdoesnt represent all Christians.Thats where I am having a

problem. Unlike others whosee issues in black and white, Ihave to admit I struggle with

many issues like Islam. I wantto see the best in people andbelieve whats happening in theworld is from a small group anddoesnt represent all Muslims.Its a tough call. My problem is

I dont know! I do knowAmerica cant be all things toall people there are parame-ters of behaviors and beliefs (orshould be)! We no longer have anational identity through whichits clear that some things areunquestionably wrong. We nolonger have that everyone hasall rights. We shouldnt adapt toaccommodate others if youare here, you adapt to us, butwho are we? Ay, theres the rub.

In light of Paris and other suchtragedies around the world, Iwas thinking wouldnt it be niceif the nations of the world couldwork together for the better-

ment of the world. They couldall unite and bring to bear aforce for good. We could call itthe Unified Nations. Eh, just adream. BTW, say we couldfully wipe out ISIS. Thenwhats next? Al Qaeda?Taliban? Boko Haram? Etc.Maybe we can get that Unified

Nations (trying not to chuckle)to pull together to hit the badguys really hard and teach thema lesson... you know, maybethey could... pass a resolution(gasp!)! Thatll show them!

Just so you know its not allbad: A New Jersey man saidspotting an ad in the wrong sec-tion on Craigslist turned out to

be the first step in a processwhich ended with him donatinga kidney to a stranger. GlennCalderbank was browsing forconstruction supplies when hisattention was caught by an ad

placed in the wrong section.Somebody was asking for akidney for their wife.Calderbank said he lost hiswife, Jessica, to kidney failurefour years ago after her bodyrejected a donated organ from acadaver. I was meant to seethat, Calderbank said. I

believe that Jessica somehow

or karma whatever it isput that in the wrongspot....Calderbank got in touchand said, Look I know Ima match. He was asked, Howdo you know that?Calderbank said. I said theresno way that I saw your ad byaccident. The surgery is sched-uled for Dec. 1 at University ofPennsylvania Hospital. [CBS

New York]

I got a joke for you!(Interestingly, some people willget it immediately; others take awhile.) I went to a zoo. It onlyhad one animal. It was a dog. Itwas a shih tzu. (Read it outloud.)

Okay, one more: A Mexicanmagician tells the audience hewill disappear on the count of 3.He says, Uno, dos... and then*poof* he disappeared with-out a tres!

Believe it or not, in spite of thefact I can barely move thesedays, I played hockey back incollege, and my daughter com-

petes today in horse shows. Iwas and am still old schoolwhen it comes to competition. I

believe if you do your best andcan hold your head high afterthe contest, you have succeeded

thats what truly matters. Yes,its nice to win, but characterand integrity are more impor-tant. I have to disagree withUCLA Bruins football coachHenry Russell (Red) Sanderswho said, Winning isnt every-thing; its the only thing.

Part Ten Athlete and evan-gelist Billy Sunday said,

Going to church doesnyou a Christian any mostanding in a garage maa car. I love these peophave an powerful inspicross as a profile pictu

I miss hiking. I miss the sum-mits and the work to get tothem. I miss the moments ofstillness Atticus and I spenttogether half way or three quar-ters the way up when we need-ed to stop to breathe. I misshaving hiked and the days ofdream-like glaze remainingafter a hike.

Sometimes I wonder if Atticusmiss hiking, too. Ive never pre-tended to know what hes think-ing so Im not really sure. WhatI do know it that while hes old,hes not ready to stop moving.He hates being inside too long.On days when Im writing, hewill sit and stare at me until Iget up and go out with him. Andsometimes just going out intothe yard is not enough. I knowthis because there are momentswhen he sits by the car doorwaiting for me to open it so wecan go somewhere.

He can still do smaller peaks,

and not have to pay the pricewith stiffness and pain in thefollowing days. So we takeadvantage of these peaks andwalks whenever we can. Butstill, its not the same for him as

his eyes fade, his hearinglessens, and his hips weaken.There is nothing like being on amountain.

Often times on our popularFollowing Atticus Facebook

page someone will post, theocean is what the mountains areto you and Atticus. Im polite inmy responses, but a more hon-est and less polite responsewould be: Only if youvesailed the oceans, or swamacross them, for there is nothinglike climbing a mountain. Itshard. You have to work at it.You give and it takes fromyou.

Climbing up and down NewHampshires mountains for thelast decade taught me that whatSaint-Exupery once wrote is:Perfection is achieved, notwhen there is nothing more toadd, but when there is nothingleft to take away. For thatswhat the mountains do to uswhen we are on them. They

peel back the layers, ditch theego, force us into some of thegreatest therapy sessions wecould ever hope for, and chal-lenge our faith. A mountainnever tries, it just is, and in

being what it is, it reminds usthat we should spend more time

just being who we are.

Atticus and I still get out for our

walks, and always in the forest.We spend time spying on bearsor watching beavers or otters,or listening to the late autumnwind force the dried leaves stillon branches to hum and rattle.

The other day we spent an ourwatching an otter. Nothing hasmade me laugh more for a verylong time. On another day, latein the morning, we came acrossa female bear in a tree. She wasgetting ready to nap, rose upwhen she saw us twenty feetaway, stayed attentive until wesettled down on the littleembankment near her, and

became so relaxed she did aswell. Within minutes, both sheand Atticus were snoring. Westayed for forty-five minutesand when we left she lifted hereyelid one last time to watch usgo.

So, as the years pass and fate

sees to it that Atticus is nowolder than me, with his achesand pains and various stiffness-es, our friendship continues toevolve as we walk into thefuture. Knowing all that I doabout him, and what exciteshim, we will wait for winter to

pass and then hop in the car inApril for a two-month cross-country trip. Im guessing itwill be up to twenty thousandmiles but we have no true agen-da other than in hunting downwonder in the ways we used towhen he could hike farther.Most our time will be spentwest of the Rockies where theland is open and the skyabounds. Maps tell me of thevarious national and state parks,

national forests, and other pre-served lands. Most of themdwarf our own White Mountain

National Forest, so I dreamabout what we will see in whatcould be our last adventure

together.

But even as I daydream that trip, I am still floodedwonder in our woods walkIm always reminded thmatter what we can no ldo together, to always be

ful for what we can do.

A Holiday Gift from PlymouthState in Plymouth, Manchesterand Nashua

This will be our reply to vio-lence: to make music moreintensely, more beautifully,more devotedly than everbefore. Leonard Bernstein

The Department of Music,Theatre and Dance at PlymouthState University will celebratethe 25th anniversary of its win-ter holiday concert A JoyfulNoise! at 3 p.m. Sunday,December 6 in HanawayTheatre at the Silver Center forthe Arts.

Performances will also be heldin at Nashua High School at 7p.m. December 4, and atBrookside CongregationalChurch in Manchester at 7 p.m.December 5.

This year a collaborative pro-gram directed by Professor ofMusic Dan Perkins will bring

together the University Choraleand Chamber Singers, theManchester Choral Society(MCS), 2G MCSthe ChoralSocietys second generationauditioned youth choir, and theManchester Choral SocietyOrchestra.

Perkins says Chichester Psalms,composed in 1965, wasBernsteins plea for reconcilia-tion and unity throughout the

world, and still contains a rele-vant message in 2015 as people,countries and nations cry outfor peace.

Bernstein wrote, This will beour reply to violence: to makemusic more intensely, more

beautifully, more devotedlythan ever before. TheChichester Psalms are a com-

pelling blend of BernsteinsBroadway style with Hebrew

text with Christian choral tradi-tion.

Fishbeins Psalms, Songs andBlues was written as a compan-ion piece to Chichester Psalms.Fishbein says, Using LeonardBernstein's music as inspira-tion, I recently composed anoriginal Judeo-Christian inter-faith companion to hisChichester Psalms, titledPsalms, Songs, and Blues. Thefive movement work sets bothPsalm excerpts and portions ofthe Jewish liturgy in English,

Hebrew, and Latin.Concert soloist Travis Palmer

FROM YOUR SENATOR

Please Tell Our Advertisers ThatYou Saw It In The Northcountry News!

Thank You For Picking Up The Paper.

If I ask myself, what is themost important issue facing ourcountry today, what measure-ment should I use? As a seniorcitizen, I am fortunate to havehealth care. Will my childrenand grandchildren have thatavailable? Will social securitybe solvent, college affordable,

gun safety a requirement,

equality in all arenas a given?

I am enthusiastic that I have theopportunity to support a candi-date for president who is bestqualified to deal with the com-

plexities of the office. Andthough it is a bonus, that factthat she is a woman is not thereason I support HillaryClinton. She has developedrelationships with foreign lead-ers as Secretary of State and

First Lady, worked with domes-tic partners in the Senate, anddemonstrated dignity andrespect in times of difficulty.These are many of the reasons

Hillary is my choice for the

Democratic nominee forPresident.

Intelligence is a strong prereq-uisite for the Presidency, andher skills in applying thatknowledge are just as impor-tant. The way Hillary stood

strong and articulate with firmresolve for eleven hours as the

House Representat ives ques-tioned her demonstrates herability to remain cool underextreme pressure.

At a time of constant exposure,first appearances count.Boisterousness is not consid-ered a plus. We are scrutinizednationally and internationallyon a daily basis. HillaryClinton is the most able to leadus going forward. I hope youwill vote for her on Primary

Day.

Nancy Donahue,Campton, NH

Bernie Sanders is the one pres-idential candidate who givesme hope for the future of thiscountry. All the candidatesadvocate change. All the candi-dates say they want to improvethe condition of the middleclass. Bernie Sanders is theonly candidate I believe whenhe advocates change and whenhe says he wants to improve thecondition of the middle class. Ibelieve him because I haveknown of his fight for changeand his support for the poorand the middle class since themid-1970s when I moved toVermont. Of all the presidentialcandidates, he is the only onewhose honesty is beyond doubtand whose words I trust.

Soon we well be celebrating theBirth of Jesus, A refugee. Well weturn him away as well."Destitute and on the run, a manand his pregnant wife were run-ning for their lives. Their babywas due soon, and as they lookedfor a place to prepare, fearfulpeople turned them away.Without any medical care, the

baby was born in a barn. Daysafter the birth, the new familyhad to get back on the road toescape violence and persecution.

This child could have come fromSyria. But the young child in thisstory is known as "Jesus", who,in the Christian tradition,brought a radical message ofpeace and welcome to a world indesperate need of healing.

Since the violence in Paris,Beirut , Egypt and across theworld, more than half of U.S.Governors are saying they wantto refuse entry to Syrian refugees,and both the U.S. Senate andHouse of Representatives areproposing legislation that wouldstop the resettlement of Syrianrefugees and slash refugee reset-tlement programs as a whole.

As people of faith, we have anurgent moral responsibility to letpoliticians know that we believein - and will fight for - anAmerica that welcomes thesojourner and loves our neigh-bors.

"What will the American peopledo, as many say they are aChristian country, or is it CINO."I have other sheep that are not ofthis fold." (I believe speaking ofother religions) We've wornbracelets, wrote statements,spoke these words; "What wouldJesus Do?"

I don't know. What will our mem-bers of Congress do? OurGovernors, now that its up tothem to commit, make a lifetimedecision that will change thelives of millions of refugees, fam-ilies, the world, or will they againleave it up to the POTUS BO. If it

Many people think Bernie haslittle chance of winning thedemocratic nomination. I writeto you, my New Hampshireneighbors, because you havethe ability to change that per-ception. You can show that big-money and the power thatcomes with it are not equal to

your enthusiasm, your convic-tion, and your votes.

The power of Bernies cam-paign comes from millions ofpoor and middle classAmericans. My NewHampshire neighbors, join thiscampaign for the future of thiscountry.

Dear Constituents,

This past Wednesday theGovernor called the legislature

back for a Special Session toaddress the heroin and opioidcrisis in New Hampshire. Iapplaud the Governor for realiz-ing the significance of this issueand look forward to workingwith her to implement a thought-ful, long-term plan. This planshould work to eliminate thedrug supply into NewHampshire; implement aggres-sive prevention programs so thatour young people never enterinto destructive behaviors; andincrease treatment and recoveryservices to help those who have

been caught in the cycle ofaddiction.

Fortunately there is a plan thatsbeen in place since 2013 thataddresses these objectives.

As a member of the GovernorsCommission on Alcohol andDrug Abuse, Prevention,Treatment, and Recovery for the

past three years, I was pleased toendorse Collective Action Collective Impact, NewHampshires Strategy forReducing the Misuse of Alcoholand Other Drugs and PromotingRecovery 2013-2017.

In 2014, the Governor alsoreceived the CommissionsAnnual Report which included aspecial section of recommenda-tions and strategies tied toaddressing the emergent heroin

crisis.

As a Commission, wworked hard to bring awof this problem to the aof legislators and the pub

Continued from page B4

We recognize that cities andtowns across the state are deal-ing with similar drug-relatedcrimes and we want to expandon the success that Manchesterhas had in producing impressiveresults and employ the same tac-tics throughout the state.Through thoughtful legislationand increased funding, we have

been working on this issue andwe appreciated the Governorsdesire to respond to the crisis.However, we were concernedthat reactive legislation that

doesnt receive a transparent andpublic process could cause unin-tended consequences. We alsowant to assure that weve creat-ed an effective continuum ofcare. We need to do the job onceand do it right.

So we were pleased that theGovernor agreed with the Houseand Senate to introduce a resolu-tion that establishes a joint taskforce to assure input fromexperts and stakeholders.

The resolution passed with over-whelming majorities and thework begins November 24thwith the convening of the taskforce. This legislative task forceis comprised of 26 members, 12

senators, 14 house members (15Republicans and 11 Democrats).

The goal of the task force is tohear from the experts, have anopportunity to review theCommissions recommenda-tions and move forward withlegislation in an expedited

process.

The task force will split intothree divisions and meet eachweek in December and producean interim report on December21st.Recommendations will be made

in early January and we willfast-track of bills to be on theGovernors desk by the end ofJanuary.

As always, I want to hear fromyou. If you have a concern youdlike to share, an event youd l ikeme to attend, or a problem youthink I might be able to helpwith, please call or email (271-4980 [office] or

A Place for the Sun to Shine

Heading towards the Novemberfull moon, the week has seemedanything but illuminated. With

blue skies interrupted by rainyweather, grey skies, and over-cast nights, its been a subdued

week of ever-shortening days.That in itself brings a certaincomfort to Ryan and I - a halt tothe sunny pace is forced uponus. With little means to resist,time for conversation, booksread aloud, and creativeendeavors is effortlessly creat-ed.

The grey weather of this pastweek, though, was not justabout wet weather and muddy

paths. It seemed to carry amore turbulent energy in itsown right. Violent, destructive,and disturbing realities croppedup with every day. In national

and international events, in thepsychological struggles ofacquaintances, of organizationsin which we are involved strug-gling with realities of sexualharassment, a funeral to coordi-nate and attend, a studentsfriend dying forcing the reali-ties of death upon youth, a deepcut, a sick stomach, the chal-lenge of land management des-ignations and fair justice closeto home...and the two of usapart, out of communication,spanning two different stateswhile events unfolded in eachof our lives. Each new day

brought with it so many oppor-tunities to re-enter the present,to consider the highest princi-

ples of truth and justice, com-passion and love, and how tobest live those principlesthrough challenging moments.

It was, really, a weird week.Not bad, as we might have beeninclined to say at first reflex,despite the tension and the diffi-cult waves of emotion. Butweird. A vortex of dark reali-ties and challenging perspec-tives, with the world around usremaining shrouded under ahover of clouds, despite thewaxing moon.

And so our homestead, oursteady home, our steadfasthouse of hearth and heart, has

stood not just as our place tocultivate food and love andwarmth and work, but also tonurture principles and their

practice. It is a place for the sunto shine, despite the rainiest ofskies. This home of ours,which resounds with suchneeds as warmth and suste-nance, and eliminates theexcesses of distractive gadgetsand tech-laden communicationsand ego-caresses, is an intricatetexture of simple creations andself-made provenances. There

is little barrier between us and

the essentials of living, tness of earth and of emfermenting bastion of

ples, of beliefs in the renow, and the basic goodall potential.

So as the perceived crunfolded and unwounhome leaned against thof the world, remindinre-ground, re-evaluatremember the elementwhich our existence, song of our spirits, exte

The Wildlife HeritageFoundation of NH has receiveda $5,000 donation fromTransCanada Corporation tosupport the Canine (K-9) Unitof the NH Fish and GameDepartment.

NH Fish and Game's K-9 unitconsists of three teams thatrespond to over 125 calls eachyear. They conduct search andrescue missions to find lost hik-ers, as well as finding peoplesuffering from Alzheimers anddementia.

They are also called upon tolocate spent shell casings at thescene of wildlife crimes, locateillegally taken fish and wildlife,track suspects, and detect evi-dence in criminal cases forother law enforcement agen-cies.

"We are very grateful for thegenerous donation ofTransCanada Corporation thatwill ensure that K-9s Sig, Ruger

and Ruby will continue to beequipped with the necessarysafety equipment and carewhile they continually patrolour state," said Colonel KevinJordan, Chief of Fish and GameLaw Enforcement. WhileCanine Unit handlers are Fishand Game ConservationOfficers, the costs of care andequipment of the dogs are notsupported by the state budget,so all costs must come from pri-vate donations.

TransCanada operates hydro-electric facilities on theConnecticut River andDeerfield River consisting ofhydroelectric stations and asso-ciated storage reservoirs anddams in NH, VT and MA. Thecompany and their employeesare active participants in both

public and private civic activi-ties in the 53 communitiesalong the rivers.

The company owns 30,000acres associated with their facil-ities, and the lands are open to

the public and are managed toensure safe public access andrecreational uses of hiking,fishing, hunting, cross countryskiing and snowmobiling. Theyalso own and maintain 20 boatlaunches along the rivers.TransCanada recently achievedLow Impact HydropowerInstitute (LIGI) certification toassure that all facilities haveavoided or reduced environ-mental impact.

The Wildlife HeritageFoundation of New Hampshireis the official non-profit partnerof the NH Fish and GameDepartment, and works tosecure funds in support of theDepartment's critical education-al, conservation, wildlife andlaw enforcement programsimportant to preserving NewHampshire's outdoor heritagefor generations to come.

Early this fall a number of peo-ple described an odd sight: ahelicopter with a large suspend-ed pouch flying in circles. Theycouldnt imagine what it wasdoing. I saw it too, and it didlook unusual. As it often is, theanswer was much simpler thanmost thought. The helicopterwas seeding cover crops.

The project is actually astatewide collaboration

between the Natural ResourcesConservation Service (NRCS)and farms to test the use of hel-icopters to plant cover crops.

Cover crops are used during theoff season when a field wouldotherwise be left bare.Primarily they are used to mini-mize the risk of erosion by

keeping the soil covered, hencethe name. However, they canalso be valuable because theycapture soil nutrients that might

be left over at the end of theseason, and because they addorganic matter to the soil whenthey are tilled in prior to plant-ing the cash crop. Dependingon the cover crop species used,they might have additional pur-

poses. For example, tillageradish have large deep rootsthat can be used to break up soil

compaction.

Cover crops sound perfect butwe dont see them in every farmfield because there are a coupleof challenges to using covercrops in northern NewHampshire. Most winter covercrops need to be planted inAugust or September in order togerminate in time to survive thewinter, and thanks to our short

season it is not always pto get the main crop haand the cover crop platime.

In the case of field cornseeding allows the farm the crop three weeks pharvest, so that the seedin time for good winvival. Three weeks is thtime frame because it gcover crop enough timeminate and get to the

size for surviving the pfrom tractor traffic durivest.

The idea was actuallyears ago using fixed wcraft but the results wereIt turned out to be a chalget the seed exactly wneeded to be, especifields that are not convshaped like a square orgle. The hope is that wiicopter it will be easierthe cover crops more ex
