The Society for the Protectionof New Hampshire Forests andmeteorologist Mark Breen willpresent “Weather Wise andOtherwise” at Bretzfelder ParkAug. 20, beginning at 7 p.m.The free program is part of theannual summer BretzfelderPark Family EducationalSeries.

The weather is a favorite topicof discussion in New England,and we’ve all heard sayings

like, “Red sky at night, sailor’sdelight.” During the program,Breen will discuss these say-ings, or “weatherlore.” Even aspeople access up-to-the-minuteforecasts and weather radars onsmartphones, and television andradio provide constant weatherupdates, many of these weathersayings have passed the test oftime.

Breen will talk participantsthrough how such sayings have

evolved over time and will lookinto their basis in sound scien-tific principles. Audience mem-bers will be invited to ask ques-tions and share their ownweather sayings followingBreen’s talk.

The senior meteorologist at theFairbanks Museum andPlanetarium, Mark Breen hasbeen the voice of VermontPublic Radio’s “Eye on theSky” weekday mornings formore than 30 years. He also

hosts the 90-second “Eye on theNight Sky” star-gazing programon VPR, heard each weekdayafternoon at 4:30 p.m.

Along with weather forecast-ing, Breen’s work at theMuseum involves teachingweather and science, as well asserving as the PlanetariumDirector in Vermont's only pub-lic planetarium.

Originally from Dannemora,New York, Mark has lived inVermont since attendingLyndon State College, where hegraduated in 1982 with a B.S. inmeteorology. He has been fea-tured in a number of magazines,including Vermont Life, wherehe contributes to the VermontLife Weather Calendar, and hasoccasionally appeared onVermont Public Television. Heis the author of the award-win-ning children’s book, “TheKids’ Book of WeatherForecasting.”

If he’s not looking at the cloudsor stars, Breen is likely on hisrowing machine dreaming ofthe water, out in the garden,hunting with his dad, or golfing

with his wife. He has also beenknown to perform on stage,either as an actor or as a singer-songwriter. Breen makes hishome in St. Johnsbury with hiswife, Sandi, and daughter,Rose.

Owned by the Society for theProtection of New HampshireF o r e s t s(www. fo re s t soc i e ty.o rg ) ,Bretzfelder Park is managed incooperation with the town ofBethlehem. The Park,bequeathed to the ForestSociety in 1984 by HelenBretzfelder in memory of herfather, Charles, houses a class-room, educational trails, apond, and several picnic sites.

Two series of educational pro-grams are held there each year,in February and August. Thenext program in the BretzfelderEducational Series will be “TheHistory and Life History ofMoose in New Hampshire”with Kristine Rines on Aug. 27.

“Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) forthe weird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you don’t haveto.”

I don’t know if you have everseen a show called “FindingBigfoot,” but I watched a fewepisodes and guess what....They still haven’t foundBigfoot, so maybe the showshould be called “BigfootHunters” like “Ghost Hunters,”in which they find some “Well,maybe...” things but nothingovertly definite. You evernotice how many commercialbreaks on both shows beginwith someone saying, “Whatwas that?”

When it comes to having workdone in my home (and car), Ihave learned one thing alongthe way. They all seem gooduntil the next one comes along.

A single lethal injection wassupposed to speedily endJoseph Wood’s life recently.When it didn’t, Arizona execu-tioners ended up giving him atotal of 15 doses of a new drugcocktail, according to prisondocuments. It took nearly twohours for Wood to die, as hegulped and snarled for air, jour-nalists attending the executionsaid. As I suggested before,why not use what is used on themillions of animals killed in theUS every year.

I recently saw a video of Steven

Colbert (my man!) givingadvice while out of character.After getting over the shock ofhow different he is from theperson he plays on TV, I real-ized that he’s a lot like me –pretty ordinary and boring(unless you get me on the rightsubject). I must not have beenthat boring in school, however– one student thought it wouldbe neat to have me show up at aparty because I know so muchand am so random! Woo-hoo! Ialways wanted to be random!

On Fridays at my new job, I amlearning that the work day does-n’t end until the paper is put tobed and is ready to go to theprinter. We have to get the jobdone! Oh, by the way, Congressjust adjourned for its annualbreak this week. Just sayin’.

Must have technology! Thehottest! The latest! The newest!Bull-oney! I have finallyreached the point where I don’twant any of the aforementioned“stuff!” I want less! (Well,except for books!) Speaking ofbooks (and technology [or lackthereof], “The gigantic comethad slammed into Earth, forg-ing earthquakes a thousandtimes too powerful to measureon the Richter scale, tidalwaves thousands of feet high.Cities were turned into oceans;oceans turned into steam. It wasthe beginning of a new Ice Ageand the end of civilization. Butfor the terrified men andwomen chance had saved, it

was also the dawn of a newstruggle for survival—a strug-gle more dangerous and chal-lenging than any they had everknown....” Lucifer’ Hammer –Niven and Pournelle). So, whatwill many (most?) people todaydo if all technology were lost?Well?

Got lots of FB friends com-plaining they can’t find Mr. orMiss Right. While this onlyapplies to a few, people, take agood look in the mirror and askyourself after the easy sex,mutual admiration of tattoos,and agreement on which is bet-ter – Ford or Chevy – when youlook up from your phone, thebig question is, “What else doyou have to offer?”

“Go to bed; you’ll feel better inthe morning” is the human ver-sion of, “Did you turn it off andturn it back on again?”

In the bigger picture, that’s herstory, and she’s sticking to it!An Ohio woman claimed that adream about “filleting a fish”led to her slit her husband’sthroat while he slept. JudyJones was charged withattempted murder and aggravat-ed assault after she allegedlynearly killed her husband bycutting his throat from ear-to-ear. It’s believed that the hus-band would have died if Jones’16-year-old daughter had notcalled 911 immediately andsummoned emergency help.The couple’s daughter reported-ly told investigators that hermother had been planning thecovert attack for about a year(nice of her to say something).[Bizarre News]Don’t know if you saw this ornot, but the headline read: “A

Drowning Crow Is ScoopedOut of the Water by a HeroicBear at a Zoo,” and the accom-panying video pretty muchshows exactly that. My issue isthe use of the word ‘heroic.’Think about it.Finally, are they really thatgood? Most thieves stealmoney, jewels, or cars, but aknife-wielding thug inAdelaide, Australia, was inter-ested in a far less valuable com-modity: Krispy Kreme dough-nuts. Since the city’s firstKrispy Kreme opened in July,there’s been a line out the doorfrom Australians ready to tradetheir Vegemite for glazed

doughnuts. But what was asweet event for pastry loverswas tinged with a sour notewhen two teenagers wererobbed of six boxes of dough-nuts. The teen victims toldpolice they were getting in theircar when a man approachedthem and threatened them witha knife. He then demanded thepair stay in the car while hegrabbed the glazed goodiesfrom the back seat and high-tailed it out of there, AdelaideNow reports.

What was that?

Later.

*Adding EXTRA starch, flouror other thickener to yourrecipe. This will slow the rate ofheat penetration into the prod-uct and can result in undercook-ing.

*Adding EXTRA onions,chilies, bell peppers, or othervegetables to salsas or tomatosauces. The extra vegetablesdilute the acidity and can resultin botulism poisoning.

*Using an oven instead of waterbath for processing. The prod-uct will be under-processedsince air is not as good a con-ductor of heat as water orsteam. The jars also may breakor explode. We recommendthat all home canned productsbe safely processed in a waterbath canner for acidified veg-etables and fruits. For low acidvegetables, (carrot, corn, peas,etc. or meats and seafood) apressure canner is needed.

*Not making altitude adjust-ments. Since boiling tempera-tures are lower at higher alti-tudes, the canned products willbe under-processed and maynot seal safely. Pressure can-ning requires adding morepounds of pressure while waterbath canning requires more pro-cessing time.

*Not venting pressure canner.Lack of venting can result in airpockets (cold spots) which willnot reach as high a temperatureas is needed.

*Not having dial-type pressurecanner gauges tested annually.

If the gauge is inaccurate, thefood may be under-processedand therefore not safe.

*Failure to acidify cannedtomatoes. Not all tomatoes havean adequate acid level (pH),especially if the vine is deadwhen tomatoes are harvested.This can result in botulism poi-soning.

*Cooling pressure canner underrunning water. Calculations asto processing time include theresidual heat during the normalcool-down period as part of thecanning process. Hurrying thisprocess will result in under-processed food; siphoning ofliquid from the jars and jarbreakage may also occur.

If you think that a canned prod-uct is not safe, don’t even tasteit. To protect your family andyour pets, boil the jar and con-tents for thirty minutes then dis-card both in the trash.

Minor Canning MistakesEconomic Loss, But Results

Not Deadly

*Use of mayonnaise jars. Thethinner walls of the glass maybreak, especially if used in apressure canner, and it may bemore difficult to obtain a goodseal. However, if it seals, it issafe to use.

*Use of paraffin on jams & jel-lies. Small air holes in theparaffin may allow mold togrow. Also, paraffin can catchon fire if overheated duringpreparation. If preserves dohave mold growth, the recom-mendation is not to eat theproduct, but discard it.

ommended. Keeping foodslonger than recommended orstoring at temperatures above70° F for an extended period oftime will decrease the qualityand the value of some nutrients,but the product will be safe toeat. A darkening of fruits andchange in texture is often aresult as well. A general rule ofthumb is to process what youcan use within a year. The gen-eral guidelines for safe foodpreservation really are not diffi-cult to follow. Just make certainto always use an up-to-date, sci-entifically-tested recipe, followit exactly and make the altitudeadjustments for time or pres-sure. If you have specific ques-tions, contact the UNHCooperative Extension InfoLine at 1-877-398-4769.

Cautions Issued forSpecific Foods

• Quick Breads (e.g. , banana,zucchini, pumpkin) — Bakingquick breads in canning jars andthen placing a lid and ring onthe jar to create a vacuum sealas it cools does not kill botu-lism-forming organisms thatgrow in warm, moist, anaerobicconditions. These items shouldbe either baked fresh and servedor frozen.

• Dried Beans (pinto, kidney,etc.) — To safely can driedbeans, they must be hydratedfirst (usually 12 to18 hours) andthen brought to a boil for 30min. Hot beans are then placedinto hot jars for processing.

General Rules

1. Always use up-to-date, scien-tifically tested canning recipes.Story continues on page A-6

2. Only use approved, up-to-date canning methods (boilingwater-bath or pressure).

3. Follow canning directionsexactly.

4. Make altitude adjustments byadding more time to water bathcanning or increasing pressurefor pressure canned products.

5. Make certain canned prod-ucts have a proper lid seal, if itwas used before, throw it outand get a lid.

Note: Unless you are sure thatthe above general rules werefollowed, boil low acid foodsfor 10 minutes before eatingthem to inactivate botulism-causing organisms (clostridiumbotulinum).

Exceptions to the General Rules

• Changing salt level in any-thing except pickles. Salt actsas a preservative and adds fla-vor and crispness to pickles. Inother foods, it is mainly used asa flavoring agent and is addedas a personal preference.

• Changing sugar level in syrupused for canned fruit. Sugarhelps fruit retain a bright colorand firm texture, but is not nec-essary for safety.

• Add EXTRA vinegar or lemonjuice. Bottled acids help obtainrequired pH (acid levels) intomatoes and pickles. If a moretart or sour flavor is desired,more vinegar, lemon or limejuice may be added.

• Decrease any vegetable

except tomatoes in salsas. Salsarecipes have been tested toensure that they contain enoughacid to be safely processed in aboiling water-bath canner. Thisacid is provided by the correctamount of tomatoes. The addi-tion of vegetables has also beencalibrated to balance the acidlevel. While it is dangerous toadd more vegetables to salsarecipes, fewer may be used fora milder flavor.

• Substitute bell peppers, longgreen peppers or jalapeño pep-pers for each other in salsarecipes. So long as the totalamount of peppers remains thesame (or fewer) as what is listedin the tested recipe, peppersmay be interchanged.

North Haverhill Fair KingArthur Baking Contest DrawsJunior and Adult Bakers

“I won a ribbon, I won aprize!”, chanted Jillian Robie ofAlexandria, NH, as she dancedout of the Stoddard Arts andCrafts Building on Saturday,July 26, 2014. Jillian was thethird place winner of the youthdivision of the King ArthurBaking Contest held at theNorth Haverhill Fair.

Adults and youth were encour-aged to enter carrot cakes andclassic blueberry muffins,respectively, in this yearly con-test. Contestants must use KingArthur Flour and the providedrecipes in order to compete inthe event.

This year, nine youth and nineadults entered their bakedgoods.

For the youth division, judgeGabrielle Granger- Clark ofLittleton’s East Street Sweets,complimented all the bakers.“You all had that traditionalblueberry flavor. Generally,your muffins were good.”

That being said, three contest-ants stood above the rest.Emily Cheeves of Lebanon ,NH, earned the first placerosette and a $50.00 gift certifi-cate provided by King ArthurFlour of Norwich, Vermont.Placing second and earning a$25.00 gift certificate and a redrosette was Abbie Clark ofWarren, NH. Third rosette win-ner, Jillian Robie, received aKing Arthur Cookie

Companion Cookbook.

Scoring was close in the youthdivision, with only a three pointspread among the top winners.Granger-Clark pointed out thatthe only difference between thetop three and the folks who did-n’t place was over mixing.Kathy Jablonski, FieldSpecialist who organized theyouth division of the contest,reminded contestants to onlymoisten their ingredients asoverbeating makes a muffinless tender.

The nine youth contestantsincluded: sisters Olivia andEmma Desilets of Charlestown,NH; sisters Claire and LindsayMiller of Rumney, NH; MacyAdams of Littleton, NH; AnnieReall of Pawtucket, RI and thethree winners.

In the adult division, Littleton’sDebra Harris- Stinehourreceived first place for her ren-dition of carrot cake as well as a$75.00 gift certificate fromKing Arthur Flour. Secondplace winner was Darrell Chaseof Claremont, NH earning a$50.00 gift certificate withJudith Vaughan of Newbury,

Vermont, placing third and win-ning a King Arthur BakingCompanion Cookbook. Chase,a previous entry in King Arthurcontests and last year’s winner,shared he learned to cook afterretirement by using the internet.He bought back his own cakeand he and his wife sampled aslice before bringing it backhome. Vaughan purchased herown cake to take home for herbirthday celebration as her 4-HClub was showing cattle thatday at the fair. Harris-Stinehour’s winning entry wasbought by one of the many on-lookers who couldn’t wait tosample what had been temptingvisitors to the fair throughoutthe judging.

Judging the adult event wasLisa Ford, NutritionConnections ProgramCoordinator for UNHCooperative Extension and agraduate of the CulinaryInstitute of America. Fordcomplimented the bakers on

their presentations, the richnessof flavors and the texture oftheir winning entries. For thosethat were interested, she madesuggestions for improving theircake the next time it was made.

Deb Maes, Field Specialist,Food and Agriculture, organ-ized the adult division contest.

Judges for the event were pre-sented with a King Arthur Flourburlap tote as a token of appre-ciation for their volunteer serv-ice.

Once the judging was complete,the entries were sold to fair vis-itors and the proceeds donatedto the Grafton County 4-HLeaders’ Association.

I find myself worrying aboutthe dogs, so I try not to readabout them.

The dogs I'm talking about arethose who hike. Not all ofthem. Not even most of them.Just the ones paired with anincreasing number of obsessedhikers.

There have always beenobsessed hikers, and most fallunder the category of "peakbag-gers." There is a compulsionfor these folks to climb everymountain there is on any listthere is, and lately, it's gottenrather crazy. Peakbaggers nowhave the Internet. Hiking web-sites abound, and the self-celebrity that includes solipsis-tic posts of yourself doing anyold thing appears on-line in anynumber of places. Whether it'son Facebook sites or those thatoffer hiking trail conditions.

The idea of hiking the fourthousand-footers came from a

group intent on getting peopleto check out other mountainsand not just Franconia Ridgeand Mount Washington. It wasa fabulous flash of brilliancethat sent trampers to each of thefour corners of the WhiteMountain National Forest andintroduced them to places theywouldn't have otherwisenoticed, or ventured over andthrough.

Steve Smith and MikeDickerman have introducedmany to these mountainsthrough their book, "The 4000-Footers of the WhiteMountains." Included in everychapter is a variety of ways toclimb each peak, what you willsee when you get to the summit,and other fascinating tidbits,including history and nomen-clature. I fell in love with thisbook as I fell in love with themountains. It was a wonderfulintroduction to hiking and whobetter to introduce the highestmountains of New Hampshirethan Smith and Dickerman, twopassionate trekkers who madethese mountains their lives?There's not an ounce of egoattached with their writing, andas can also be said about thetwo authors.

Many, myself included, haveused this book and then went onto explore other mountains inthe region. In this way, it goeshand-in-hand with the reasonthe Four-Thousand-Footer Clubwas created. Finish the list (onthe honor system), send in con-firmation to the Four Thousand-Footer Committee of theAppalachian Mountain Club,

and you get a nifty patch and aneven niftier scroll. Do the"fours" in winter, and you getanother patch, another scrollfrom the committee. Do allsixty-seven of the "fours" inNew England and get anotherpatch and scroll. Do all 67 inwinter and get yet another.

That all seemed well and good.But now independent websiteshave been set up to reward peo-ple who hike each of the forty-eight in one winter. Eight yearsago this totaled about a dozenknown individuals. Total. Theidea of getting attention forcompleting the winter "fours"in one calendar winter and hav-ing your name and photographincluded on a list had the num-ber of people attemptingexpanding. The website liststwenty who finished them allthis past winter alone. In thewinter of 2011 – 2012, therewere thirty-eight finishers!

Now another website hasformed. It's for what is calledthe "grid", and it's made up ofself-labeled "gridiots." Hikeeach of the forty-eight in eachof the twelve months, no matterhow many years it takes, andyou get a patch (not sanctionedby the AMC, I should add) andyour name and photo on theirsite. Once that website was cre-ated, it sent the obsessed downanother rabbit hole chasing withthe same zeal people once wentto the mountains to escape.

These same people came upwith yet another website listingall of those who have "red-lined" the White Mountains.

Red-lining means hiking eachand every trail there is. Used tobe old-timers were the onlyones who accomplished it, or atleast those who had been hikinghere for decades. The same istrue for those who used to dothe "grid." But that's allchanged. It's the age of theInternet when everyone gets tobe a celebrity, whether theyshould be or not. KimKardashian and Parish Hiltonanyone?

Human neuroses are common.Let's face it, we're all screwedup to some extent. No one isperfect. As long as the dysfunc-tion doesn't go too far, and noone is hurt, it makes for inter-esting and colorful characters -a wonderful concoction ofhuman life.

And so what if some folks liketo go a little nuts when it comesto playing follow the leader andget your name on websites sothey can say, “Look! Look atme!”? This is, after all, the“White Mountain NationalForest, land of many uses."

But here’s where it crosses theline and borders on neglect andabuse. It’s the way we treat ourfour-legged hiking partners.Particularly in red-lining withdogs.

It’s one thing to march throughlife with our own mess, but toendanger a dog so you can getattention is just wrong. Thereare numerous trails in the WhiteMountains dogs should not beon. You can start with theFlume Slide Trail, Huntington

Ravine Trail, the Six HusbandsTrail (or, as many feel, anyother trail that comes up out ofthe Great Gulf and heads toMadison, Adams, Jefferson,Clay, and Washington).

Recently, I’m told; theRandolph Mountain Club has Story continues on page B-3

Continued from page B-1

contacted Smith andDickerman, also the editors ofthe “AMC’s White MountainGuide," to ask them to educatehikers not to bring dogs ontothe Ice Gulch Path because ofthe danger it holds for the four-legged hikers.

This column may seem strangecoming from me since Atticusand I used to be peakbaggers –three years of the monotonycured me of it. But from thevery beginning there are trails Iwould never allow Atticus on.

I’m not sure if he could havedone them or not, but the pointis not could he have done them,but why would I have riskedhim doing them? I can’t speakfor anyone else, but I didn’t getAtticus to hike with, I got himto share life with, to share afriendship with. In the process,I took on the responsibility oflooking out for his well-beingin a world that is increasinglybusy and crazy and created bymankind. I found that by com-ing to the mountains it tippedthe scale and allowed him to bein charge more. Hence thename of our book, “FollowingAtticus." In a society, I havethe final say of how things go.In the wild, Atticus has more ofa say, often the greater say.

I believe we get dogs to getback to basics, to touch our pri-mordial side. Even as I avoidwebsites and Facebook pageswhere there are numerous hik-ers, I’ve recently been told ofpuppies being brought up theFranconia Ridge Loop over therugged Little Haystack,Lincoln, Truman, and Lafayettefor their very first hike. Ofdogs doing a twenty-three miletraverse across thePemigewasset Wilderness (andfive four thousand-foot peaks)in winter before they are evenone-year-old. Of others finish-ing several rounds of the forty-eight by the time they are twoor three years old.

The ignorance of a beginninghiker is one thing. (Our firstsummer Atticus and I hikedFlume and Liberty on a day inthe low nineties. Looking backnow, I ask, “How did we do it?”Then I ask, “Why did we do it?”Ignorance is why. But live andlearn.)

Unfortunately, it seems thosewho are imposing their obses-sions on the dogs they hike withare the experienced hikers.They are as determined as“Little League Dads” to showhow special their dogs are.

This group of people have aninteresting way of talking whenthey push the limits with theirdogs.

On a nasty weather day abovetreeline they’ll post, “Sparkywas fine today, but I wouldn’tbring other dogs up here in thiskind of weather.”

When it comes to long-distancehikes where they push the paceand the mileage, “Finished the

thirty-three mile loop in elevenhours and Molly wasn’t theleast bit tired!”

And for those who can’t waituntil their dog’s bones aremature enough to handle dis-tance hiking, “Max turned onelast week and finished theBonds Traverse. We stopped alot, and he seemed fine. Heprobably could have keptgoing.”

In the winters Atticus and Ihiked the “fours," I pretty muchgave up my job to make sure wehad the best weather days tochoose from. We let the weath-er and our bodies dictate whatwe would do. And thankfully,Atticus never had troubletelling me he didn’t want tohike. There were several dayswe showed up at the trailheadwhere he didn’t want to get outof the car. So we didn’t.

Since that point,I’ve been askedby numerous hikers if I’ll leadthe charge to persuade the AMCto change their rule of not offer-ing patches and scrolls to dogswho finish the winter peaks.

I always stayed out of it.

Until now.

I don’t think dogs care aboutpatches and scrolls, so I wishthe AMC never started the prac-tice of awarding them for evenfair weather hiking to dogs - asthey do.

I’m speaking out now becausethe craziness has increased, andI believe dogs deserve betterthan how they are often treatedby some. The best thing wecould do for any animal in ourlives is simply to put ourselvesin their place and try to figureout what’s important to them.

Last I checked, Atticus neveronce has gone on to Facebookto check for updates or won-dered how many peaks anotherdog “bagged” this week.

“New Hampshire LiquorCommission Sales ReachRecord High of $626 Millionin Fiscal Year 2014; Up $23Million – or nearly 4% – OverPrevious Fiscal Year!

NHLC credits newly renovatedand relocated stores, innova-tive sales and marketing initia-tives, and a welcoming shop-ping experience for record

gains.

The New Hampshire LiquorCommission (NHLC) grosssales hit an all-time record of$626 million in Fiscal Year2014, an increase of $23 mil-lion – or nearly 4% over theprevious fiscal year, accordingto unaudited NHLC sales fig-ures. Total liquor net profitstransferred to the NewHampshire General Fundreached $148 million, which isused to support a variety ofprograms including education,health and social services,transportation and naturalresource protection.”

...and guess where four out ofthe top 10 State NH Liquorstores were located!!! Does itsurprise you that I might sayInterstate 93 and 95?

Governor Hassan is praisingthe State Liquor Commission.She commented: “The hard-working New HampshireLiquor Commission employeeshave once again deliveredstrong profits and revenuewhich will be used to providecritical services to the people ofNew Hampshire,” said NewHampshire Governor MaggieHassan. “With innovativeprojects such as the opening ofnew Hooksett WelcomeCenters on the horizon, I lookforward to continued successfrom the Commission.”

In other words, “keep pushingthe alcohol! We are making

some big bucks here!”

You know, I do not have a prob-lem with the State of NH mak-ing millions of dollars in thealcohol industry - really I don’t.I think it is fantastic, but when Ihear Governor Maggie Hassanand other politicians within thestate, stating that they won’tback the legalization ofMarijuana because it is a gate-way drug, I simply cringe. Dothey believe that alcohol doesn’tbegin any addictions at all? oris it all that lovely money com-ing in that makes them blind tosuch a fact?

Hey, I love my local micro-brews as well as a mixed drink,but to think that marijuanawould be such a huge problemand that alcohol is not, sort ofbaffles me. I mean, isn’t thatwhat they are really sayinghere?

I’d like to see the statistics onhow many motor vehicle acci-dents and deaths have occuredfrom alcohol in comparison tothose from marijuana - just say-ing!

Then again, I guess nothingreally surprises me these dayswhen there are politics andmoney involved! It’s sort of oneof those, do as I say, not as I dosort of things I guess!

I imagine once other statesstart making millions of dollarson Marijuana, like Colorado iscurrently doing, the politicianswill quickly fall from the fenceto the other side and won’t lookback. Only time will tell.

Nobody Asked, Just My Opinion, ~BEF

In the last number of monthsAndrew Timmins, bear biologistfor the N.H. Dept. of Fish andGame has put out pressrelease's on bear feeding acrossthe state and that it is a selfishact, and that intentional feedingputs the bear in harms way.That it is in violation to feedbears with up to a $ 1000. fine.That the citizens are " lovingthe animals to death". A fedbear is a dead bear has beenthe battle cry with F&G for thelast 10 years, pointing the fin-ger at the citizens of the statefor habituating our bear popu-lation.

In 2006 F&G circumvent thelegislative process of our gov-ernment and went to JLCAR (joint legislative committee onadministrative rules ) and regu-lated the people of the statewith F&G regulationFIS:310.01 the intentional feed-ing of bears. First let me statethis, F&G's responsibility is tosafeguard our naturalresources with hunting, fishingand trapping regulations, thisdoesn't give them the authorityto regulate the citizens of thestate and that is exactly whatthey have been doing. SecondJLCAR is not the forth form ofgovernment.

Mr. Timmins wants you toclean up your act by takingdown your bird feeders, put upelectric fencing around chick-ens, put grain and garbage insecure containers and just stopluring bears with hand outs.This all seems reasonable forresponsible people to do and itsnot much to ask. Mr Timminswants you to believe that thedept. is concerned about moth-ers with cubs being killed overall this.

What Mr, Timmins has left outin his press release's is the fact Letter continues on page B-8

Inspiring Words for You!Dear Friends, the Bible says in John8:12, In the New Testament,

“walking in the light” is directly relatedto following Jesus, who said, “I am the

light of the world. He who follows me shallnot walk in darkness, but have the light oflife”. To “walk” is, in short, to live one’s life.One’s lifestyle or way of life can beconsidered a “walk.” The word also indicatesprogress. Walking is related to growth;it istaking steps toward maturity. “Light” in theBible can be a metaphor for life, happiness,righteousness, or understanding. The Bible isclear that light comes from the Lord God, the“Father of the heavenly lights” James 1:17.He is the opposite of evil. Putting it alltogether, “walking in the light” means“growing in holiness and maturing in the faithas we follow Jesus.” Are you walking in theLight of Christ?! God bless you all.

that bear baiting as sport hasbeen going on and on and on.

This is the rest of the story. Forthe 2005-2013 hunting seasons,8878 * free bait permits forbear, 3987* free bait permitsfor deer (2008-2013 ) and2181* free bait permits forother species ( 2008-2013 )have been handed out by theDept of F&G.That adds up to15,046 permits issued with twosites per permit, equaling30,092 bait sites set up in N.H.in the last nine years, * this isa low number, a permit is notrequired to bait on your ownland if the intent is to kill theanimal. Be rest assured thatfeeding on your own land isagainst the law if the intent isobservation.

Habituating wildlife to baitsites is not a sport, it is not

hunting, it is called shopping.Mr. Timmins is right on when hestates that habituated to humanenvironments and dependent onhuman-related foods has severeand often fatal negative effectson the animal. His assessmentthat a "fed bear is a dead bear"campaign is finger pointing inthe wrong direction.

From 2005-2013, 2454 bearshave been killed with baiting,409 were cubs, 216 were lactat-ing females. Why is there noconcern when so called huntingregulations allow for killingcub and their mothers? Theanswer is PAY DAY. The num-ber of bears killed because ofintentional feeding is non-exis-tent in that time frame. TheDept needs a name change, per-haps the Dep. of " Do As I SayNot As I Do" would be moreappropriate.

Mr. Timmins before you go ontelling the citizens of the state toclean up their act the time hascome for the dept to clean uptheirs. The Dept. of F&G cir-cumvented the system of gov-ernment on the people, perhapsit is time for the Governor toexecute an executive order toend baiting of bear and deer inthis state. The Governor hasthat power.

Tek Talk...With Eli Heath Of Paige Computer Services

Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer

When you buy a new computerit will have Windows 8 orWindows 8.1 installed. Manypeople are used to the look andfeel of previous versions ofWindows. One of the mostnoticeable changes in Windows8 is there is no start menu orstart button. Your start menu isnow a start screen; I am goingto give you some tips on howyou may bring back the startbutton and give you the feel ofusing Windows XP or Windows7. The new version of Windowscalled Windows 9 which will bereleased next year will have the

start button, meanwhile thereare options;

To get the start button back inWindows 8 I recommend a util-ity from Stardock called Start8you can get it here athttp://www.stardock.com/prod-ucts/start8/. It costs around$5.00 it will get the start menuand the start button onWindows 8. Follow the direc-tions when you install andeverything will look morefamiliar to you.

I also recommend another utili-

ty they have called Modern MixModernMix it takes a full-screen Metro-style app andturns it into a floating windowwith a border, total, and closebuttons. It makes a Metro-styleapp seem normal. You canresize it, move it around, and(importantly) close it. The wayit works is that each Metro-styleapp gets a little floating buttonin the top-right where you canswitch it between full-screenand windowed mode. (You canalso just tap F10 to toggle.)Take any Metro-style app anddo this, and it goes from beingan app you don’t see the pointoff, to a nice-looking app thatyou might want to have in yourlife.

Microsoft has realized the woesof its ways; computer sales aredown because people just donot like the look and feel ofWindows 8. If you currentlyhave Windows 8 a free upgradecalled Blue or Windows 8.1will be out in the fall. Thisupgrade will give you the

option to have the start buttonlike Windows 7 or use the startscreen and it will fix many bugsthe system has.

There are other free options forthe start menu one is calledClassic Shell that is athttp://www.classicshell.net/ iwwill give you the classic stylestart menu however some peo-ple have had problems with it,but it is a free program if itdoesn’t work uninstall it.

Another one is called Retro UIand that is at http://retroui.com/it is not free the cost is alsoabout $5.00, I recommend thatyou research to see which onefits your needs and check thecustomer comments before youinstall any of the programs.Keep in mind you can onlyhave one installed at a time, ifyou try to install any of the pro-grams on top of each other youmay confuse Windows and lockup your computer.

So that is my suggestions if youhave found other utility’s orhave any tips to share with ourreader’s please email them tome at [email protected] orvisit my website at www.paige-computerservices.com. You canalso call at (603)747-2201,hope to hear from you soon.

Mountain Beatwith Sky King

The Tip BasketLet's say you just wandered intoa local eatery or tavern, perhapsjust to order some take out andhave a quick beverage whileyou wait. And you happen to bepleasantly surprised that whileyou sit there you are also treat-ed to some live music from per-haps a solo gal or guy singingand playing guitar. Let's alsoimagine that the venue is abouthalf full at this early point in theevening and of those that are inattendance, perhaps a little lessthan half of them are actuallylistening to this artist. But sinceyou are there alone, waiting topick up that pepperoni pizzaand an order of wings, sippingon a fine regional ale, youdevote your full attention to thesinger and realize she is playinga version of one of your oldfavorites in a unique mannerthat you probably will neverhear again. Well after a song ortwo your food comes, you havefinished your beverage, you paythe tab and leave a little extrafor the bartender and find youstill have a couple of dollar billsand some change in your hand.Rather than putting it in yourpocket, as you make your wayout the door with your take out,you drop it in the basket marked“Tips” and the musician givesyou a quick glance, smile and anod to say “Thank you”!

And on behalf of all the solomusicians, bands and venuesthat support live music I wouldlike to say Thank you!

There is a meme that you mayhave seen that goes somethinglike “A musician is someonewho puts a $5000 piece ofequipment into a $500 car todrive 100 miles to make $50”and it isn't actually far from thetruth. And although there aresome who have figured out away to make some or part oftheir living playing live musicin this region, for most it is alabor of love. And we also mustconsider the venues that supportlive music. Around here most

restaurants rely on a balance oflocals and seasonal tourists andare subject to ever changingfactors such as the weather andgas prices. For these folks topay for live music and NOTcharge a cover is in itself agamble. But the musicians andbands keep playing and the ven-ues keep providing a place toplay all for the simple reason;they love live music! And theyare all hoping you do as well!

I can personally vouch for thefact that the “Tip Basket” canmake up to one half of themoney a band or artist makes inan evening. I can also say fromexperience that for the mostpart, folks in this region , boththe locals and the visitors fromaway, have an over all tendencyto make a contribution.

So again I would like to takethis opportunity to acknowl-edge all of you folks who sup-port live music and gladly addto the “Tip Basket” and sayTHANK YOU!!!!

Adventures in Homesteading

Beth Weick

OBITUARY

Think Local, Shop Local,Eat Local,

Support Local!

It’s The RightThing To Do..

A Busy WeekThe last couple of weeks havebeen stuffed to the brim withobligations away from ourhomestead. Long days of workaway from home, friends’ wed-dings, family get-togethers,board meetings and committeework: mornings have startedearly and evenings have endedlate. Weekends and weekdayshave blurred together in a hazeof Things-That-Must-Be-Done.

Consequently, my time in ourgarden has been pinched. Ahurried jaunt through the bedsand between the rows fills ourplates for each meal; a fewhours are found once a week topreserve the bounty of producewe can’t keep up with such asstring beans, peas, zucchini,summer squash, broccoli,cucumbers, and kale. The earlyturnips and cabbage are poisedto overtake us as well, not tomention the blueberries, rasp-berries, golden raspberries, andblackberries. Herbs such asmint, lemon balm, catmint,lavender, and calendula, too,are hung to dry in sparemoments, alongside lupine seedbeing dried high on our shelves.Echinacea, cleome, nastur-tium,chamomile, and monardaare putting out new blooms bythe day, while an assortment of

sunflowers and gladiolas arereadying themselves to open tothe sunlight that has been nur-turing them all season.

And yet, that’s about as muchas I can say. The nuances ofcarrot growth, or why the firstrow of onion tops are fallingover, or how far the wintersquash meanders each day init’s goal to overtake the com-post pile, or what time the beesarrive on the thymeflowers...these are details I’vemissed seeing over these hecticdays. And it’s something else:the peace of mind that comeswith time to share a meal, listento the river, and converse as thesun sets low.

Ryan and I - no doubt like somany of you reading this - arecontinually striving for the bal-ance between home and away-from-home. Sometimes we getit right, sometimes things hap-pen, and sometimes everythinghappens at once.

And in homesteading as we do,there’s a few extra difficultiesthrown in. We can’t drink if wehaven’t hauled the water, wecan’t cook if we haven’t gath-ered wood (dry wood), we can’tget “clean” if there’s no time fora walk to the swim hole, and wecan’t communicate with

friends, clients, and organiza-tion unless we’ve been else-where to use a computer orphone. These facts are bless-ings, and choices we reaffirmeach day, but also challenges.We are trying to cultivate notjust food and fuel, but a lifebased on and in our home andhomescape. And so we breathea deep breath when we arrivehome to our clearing in thewoods, renew our committmentto a sane pace and purpose, andwork towards keeping our-selves laboring at home: forourselves, our projects, and ourdreams, as much as the rest oflife’s needs can allow. We loveit here.

Garden work is my specialty!Weeding, planting, mulchingand pruning services available,plus edible landscapes and gar-den designs. Contact Beth [email protected] for yourannual, perennial, herbal, orornamental garden needs (seeBusiness Directory listingunder ‘Garden Design &Services’).

"Inspiring Healthy Choices For Life"

Dear EarthTalk: Recent newscoverage of the disappearanceof Malaysian Airlines Flight370 reminded us all again ofhow much debris, includingplastic, is in our oceans. Towhat extent is this a real prob-lem that threatens ocean orhuman health?

-- Margaret Ainsworth,Philadelphia, PA

The so-far in-vain search forFlight 370 has indeed stirred upinterest in the growing problemof ocean debris as objectsthought to possibly be planeparts have repeatedly turned outto be just floating trash.

“The ocean is like a plasticsoup, bulked up with the crou-tons of these larger items,”Charles Moore, the captain whodiscovered an ocean trash gyreroughly the size of Texasswirling around in the deepocean currents between Hawaiiand California, told theAssociated Press. “It’s like atoilet bowl that swirls but does-n’t flush,” he added. Moore’s“Great Pacific Garbage Patch”is one of five such debris vor-texes in the world’s oceans.Last April, searchers forMH370 stumbled onto the east-

ern edge of one of them in theIndian Ocean, at first mistakingsome of the larger bobbingobjects for airplane wreckage.

While this floating flotsam maybe a time-wasting distractionfor MH370 searchers, greenleaders are worried about it forother reasons. According to theU.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA), trash and otherocean debris can cause directharm to wildlife that ingests orgets caught in it and can breakor suffocate coral reefs that arekey habitat for many of theworld’s marine species. Marinedebris can also contribute to themovement of harmful invasivespecies that hitch rides fromone body of water to another.

Another issue is that so muchmarine debris is comprised ofplastic, much of which takeshundreds of years to breakdown and ends up in the diges-tive systems of everything fromwhales to plankton, includingmuch of the seafood that endsup on our dinner plates.

The 2011 report, “PlasticDebris in the California MarineEcosystem,” by the CaliforniaOcean Science Trust, CaliforniaOcean Protection Council andSea Grant found that plasticdebris in the ocean not onlyleaches some chemical pollu-tants that were added duringmanufacture but also absorbsand accumulates others. Thisincludes many persistent organ-ic pollutants (so-called POPsthat have been used extensivelyfor things like pest control, cropproduction and industrial man-ufacturing) from surroundingseawater and marine sediments.These POPs have been linked topopulation declines, diseasesand behavioral or physical

abnormalities in many wildlifespecies. Researchers are stillnot sure how these chemicals,as well as others (Bisphenol A,phthalates, phenanthrene, etc.)may affect marine ecosystemsin the long run.

In the meantime, we can allplay a role in reducing theamount of plastic and otherdebris that end up in ouroceans. “The most effectiveway to stop plastic pollution inour oceans is to make sure itnever reaches the water in thefirst place,” says the NaturalResources Defense Council(NRDC), a leading environ-mental non-profit. According tothe group, individuals need totake care to recycle and neverlitter, while manufacturersshould reducing packaging anddesign more of it to be fully

recyclable. NRDC and othersare also working on the legisla-tive front to try to institutional-ize such measures.
