Vermont Fiddle Orchestra Concert _______

Everyone is invited to enjoy afree concert at the Sugar HillMeetinghouse with the VermontFiddle Orchestra on Sunday,September 29th at 1 pm. Thisconcert is part of Sugar HillsAutumn Weekend Celebrationand the concert is sponsored byCrosstown Motors of Littleton,

NH.

The Vermont Fiddle Orchestraplays toe-tapping music andloves it when their audiencedecides that they cant sit stilland just have to dance. Thiscommunity orchestra is open toall levels and ages of players.

The orchestra performancesspan several generations, from

beginning level players to pro-fessional soloists playing simul-taneously while providing enter-tainment, education, and pre-serving the traditional fiddlingof Vermont and beyond.

This entertaining group is cele-brating their 10th year, wasfounded in 2003. In May of2003, Sarah Hotchkiss awoke inthe middle of the night and

paced the floor for a full hourworking out the details for acommunity orchestra. Sixweeks later, the VFO held itsfirst rehearsal with about twentymembers. Sarah envisionedmusicians of multi-levels(beginners to experts) playingtogether in such a way that itwould be simultaneously funand enriching for all partici-

pants. Sarah also wanted to helppreserve the tradition of fiddling"by ear".

The Vermont Fiddle Orchestrais more than just "fiddles".You'll find cellos, guitars, man-

dolins, flutes, accordions, andother instruments in the orches-tra, too. The VFO wants theaudience and the musicians tohave fun at their concerts. Oneof their most favorite joys is thehear that someone came to oneof their concerts and wasinspired to pick up a fiddle (orother instrument) and join theorchestra.

This free concert is made possi-ble by the generous sponsorshipof Crosstown Motors ofLittleton, New Hampshire.

The concert is held rain orshine, inside the Sugar HillMeetinghouse on Sunday, Sept.

29th at 1 pm.

Come on by and have some feettapping fun!

My morning is going perfectly.The camp coffee is black and

strong and it is gradually pullingmy foggy brain out of its morn-ing grind. A bright sun risesover an old clear-cut and mist

starts to roll off the leaves of theyoung vibrant forest before me.The woodcock who sang lateinto the night have beenreplaced in the morning by thefamiliar call of the white throat-

ed sparrow. Their song is like awall of music that surrounds meand penetrates the morning still-ness. Occasionally a flock of

ducks or geese fly overhead,often close enough to hear theirwings whistling through thefoggy air.

Camping on my own land in

Lancaster has always been aspring and fall ritual in my fam-ily. Technically this is not my

land. The land is cooperativelyheld in a revocable trust inwhich my dad and uncle areequal power trustees and mycousin and I are successortrustees. This arrangement has

been in place since the 1980sand was originally put into place

by the trustees as a way to pro-tect the land for forestry,wildlife and recreational enjoy-

ment for our family.

Recently we have started theprocess of transferring power ofthe trust from my dad and uncleto me and my cousin, the soonto be trustees. This event in mylife has met with some emotionsof pride and of course some sad-ness as my dad and uncle passthe land on to their families. It isa brilliant move on their part astheir legacy will be protected infamily hands with a guidinglegal document to manage theland into the future under theirwishes.

All of this might sound a littlehyper-organized for somethingas simple as owning land.However owning forest land is ahuge responsibility that hasmany rewards, and this respon-

sibility should be taken serious-ly by all generations involved.How the banks and the IRSview your land is very differentto how you might view it. It isimportant to make proper legal

preparations for the transfer ofthe land to the future owners ofthe land which in many cases, asin mine, are the siblings andcousins of the next generation.

I visit with dozens of landown-ers each year and tote the meritsof good land stewardship.Questions about land manage-ment are important to landown-ers, and although the answersare different on every land-scape, they are not difficultquestions. Land and estate plan-ning is a very different matter.

Good land and estate planningrequires members of the familyto get together and discuss thefuture of the land that is current-ly owned by the senior genera-tion. Difficult questions have to

be asked and answered.Questions about life, death andthe future, are all very difficulttopics of discussion, but theymust be discussed and agreeupon in writing with the help ofa good lawyer. I can tell you

from experience that it is noteasy, but it should be a priority.The efforts are worth it as thesuccessor generations arerewarded with a clean transitionof land ownership, rather than a

big legal mess that ends up cost-ing more than you planned.Estate planning is somethingthat UNH CooperativeExtension can help with so feelfree to contact me at 603-787-6 9 4 4 ,

[email protected].

This fall I will return to this landto enjoy hunting season. Thesong birds will be replaced byrutting bucks and flushinggrouse. My cousin and I will

joke about our new responsibil-ities of trust and my dad anduncle will enjoy the fruits oftheir labors as their responsibil-ities grow lighter.

New Hampshire is celebratingthe 25th anniversary of thestatewide endangered wildlife

program with an evening ofwildlife and awards October 5.The evening celebration willtake place at the GrapponeConference Center with a recep-tion beginning at 6:30.

The anniversary is an impor-

tant chance to raise awarenessof what's been accomplished inthe past 25 years for endangeredwildlife in New Hampshire, andthe many challenges ahead,explained John Kanter, coordi-nator for the Nongame andEndangered Wildlife Program at

New Hampshire Fish andGame.

Several species of wildlife andbirds of prey, including a pere-grine falcon and owl will be onhand throughout the evening.Awards will be presented to

New Hampshire youth, teach-ers, business partners and otherswho have teamed together to

bring wildlife back from thebrink of extinction in theGranite State. Tickets for theevening are $40 and includereception and seated dinner.

Incessantly scouring the uni-verse for the weird, the wacky,and the stupid so you dont

have to.Greetings and thanks for join-ing me for another week. First,how sick is sick? Take 49-year-old Christopher Jackson whowas arrested for branding hisinitials onto his girlfriend. Hewas mad at her because shewouldnt go out dancing withhim. He drugged her and brand-ed her right on her, uh, netherregion. She told police Jackson

bragged about branding otherwomen in the past and said hedid it to her because shebelonged to him (anyone elsesee a red flag here?) Jacksonwas charged with a felony countof aggravated assault, causing aserious physical injury. [NY

Daily News]

Next, cleanliness is next to thecrapp...,uh, toilet. Starting in2011, about three dozen peoplein Tokyo have been meetingevery Sunday morning at 6 a.m.on a mission to scrub down, one

by one, the citys grungiest pub-lic rest rooms... with their barehands. By 7:30, said onereporter who witnessed oneexcursion, the team had left

behind a gleaming public toi-let, looking as good as the day itwas installed. Explained thecleanliness-obsessed SatoshiOda, the mission is for our owngood work that leaderMasayuki Magome compares tothe training that Buddhistmonks receive to find peace. A

squad supporter spoke of a sad,suspicion that the younger gen-eration no longer shares theJapanese cultural convictionthat rest rooms should always beclean and safe. [WTVY-TV] (Uh,that conviction is not just inJapan, is it?)

Finally, leaders of the ice-fish-ing community, aiming forofficial Olympics recognitionas a sport, have begun the

process by asking the WorldAnti-Doping Agency to ran-domly test its athletes for per-formance-enhancing drugs,according to a New York Timesreport (yup, get rid of wrestlingfor ice fishing? Were doomed).However, said the chairman of

the U.S. Freshwater FishingAssociation, We do not test for

beer, because, he added,

Everyone would fail. Ice-fish-ing is a lonely, frigid endeavorrarely employing strength butmostly requiring guile and strat-egy, as competitors who discov-er advantageous spots in thelake must surreptitiously uploadthe hauls lest competitors rushover to drill their own holes(sounds exciting to watch tome). Urine tests have also beenrun in recent years on competi-tors in darts, miniature golf,chess and tug-of-war, and in2011, one chess player, twomini-golfers and one tuggertested positive. I mean, is noth-ing sacred?

Just out of curiosity, mind you,exactly why is that guy callingJake from State Farm at threein the morning? Just sayin.

One of the most efficient sys-tems for recycling is for me tonearly constantly find unwanted

junk mail in my PO box. In onefluid move, I take it out anddrop it into the recycle bin... soefficient... and wasteful (butkeeping the PO afloat, I guess)!

I recently saw on Facebook thatan area bank is touting animpressive three-year one-time

bump up rate of 1.05 percentAPR. I am old enough toremember when interest rateswere double digit and onecould actually earn somethingon an investment (of course

back then I had nothing to

invest). The way things aregoing, I have to wonder if some-day people will be rememberingthe good old days when theycould actually earn 1.05 per-cent.... (I really shouldnt com-

plain. My checking accountrecently paid me the grand sumof a penny in interest!Seriously!)

With the recent tragic shootingin Washington, I read the Senatewas locked in for two hours. Iwonder if they used that time toget anything done.... Speakingof which, I think whatWashington needs is one aver-age person of good character onthe staff of each Congressperson

just to serve as a sounding board

- someone who would ask ques-tions: How exactly will this ben-efit the country? How exactlywill this help me? Etc. (As thedevil is usually in the details:who exactly is an average per-son? Me? Joe the Plumber?You?)

Well, this explains a lot (at leastin my life): The 50-50-90 Rule:Anytime you have a 50-50chance of getting somethingright, theres a 90% probabilityyoull get it wrong.

I dont know what it is withwomen! I can never get them toleave the seat up!

Finally, I have actually hadinquiries about my mention lasttime about Sadie Bullock (a lit-tle girl in a large body who ulti-mately never learned to playwell with others). The Twitterversion: I made a sarcasticcomment and got ordered offher property in front of familyand friends! Thats humiliating,

bullying and plain wrong!Thats it in 140 characters.Thats the end of the story... or itshould have been, but it cantend there because it makes nosense. There is no way my fourrelatively innocuous wordsshould have elicited such anover-the-top, malicious, spitefulresponse. What I discoverednext answered a question I havehad for 25 years and showed me

my four words really had virtu-ally nothing to do with my ban-ishment. William Congreve wasright! More later.

Later.

On Sunday 29 September 2013, at 9 am, the Episcopal Church ofthe Messiah will haveits 12th annual Blessing of the Animals.This tradition, begun to commemorate the feast of St. Francis ofAssisi, allows for people to bring their pets to church for a bless-ing. The hour long service includes music, readings, and congre-gational participation, and ends with each animal being blessed.In the past, people have brought cats, dogs, goats, ferrets, frogs,turtles, and a hamster to be blessed. We are also pleased that theClark family brings at least one bear every year. Everyone goesoutside to see the bear, in a truck, to be blessed. Refreshments areserved at the end of the service.

The Church of the Messiah frequently gives money to the HeiferFund, which supports the Millennium Development Goals by sup-

plying people with the means to feed themselves and raise money.A collection will be taken at the service which will be given to theHeifer Project.

The church is located in North Woodstock, behind the WoodstockInn, on School Street.

It is just off of Route 3. We ask that all pets be confined by leashor some other comfortable method. Everyone is welcome to comeenjoy this informal celebratory service.

their licenses.

Next, get inspired to hit theautumn woods through the sto-ries of new hunters who triedthe Apprentice License last year.The new license was a big hit inits first year, with a total of1,666 Apprentice Licenses soldin 2012. Of these 427 were pur-chased by women.

In Naturalist's Notebook, learnabout the Eastern coyote, anadaptable predator now wide-spread in New England. Regularcolumns explore the fall spawn-ing ritual of brook trout, conser-vation of the Hazelton Farm inHebron, N.H., and true talesfrom Fish and GameConservation Officers on the

Local Author To Debut Newest Book AtSugar Hill Autumn Festival_________________________________

Throughout its rich and variedhistory, New HampshiresWhite Mountains region has

played host to explorers and

adventurers, lumberjacks andlocomotives, and numerousgrand hotels and their well-heeled guests. These topics, andmany others near and dear toarea history buffs, are all fea-tured in a new book by longtimenorthern New Hampshire jour-nalist and author MikeDickerman that will make itsarea debut at the upcomingannual Sugar Hill AutumnFestival.

In the new book, titled Storiesfrom the White Mountains,Dickerman offers up a potpourriof stories and profiles that cap-ture the spirit, tenacity andresourcefulness of those whohave lived, worked, and played

in these Great White Hills ofNew Hampshire for the past twocenturies.. The book, publishedSeptember 24 by The HistoryPress of Charleston, South

Carolina, also touches on topicssuch as the devastatingHurricane of 1938, early explo-rations of the region, and tragic

plane crashes in WhiteMountain annals.

Theres really something foreveryone in this new antholo-gy, said Dickerman, who earli-er this summer also saw TheHistory Press publish a compan-ion book of his titled, WhiteMountains Hiking History:Trailblazers of the Granite State.From the logging railroads ofyesteryear to the forest firelookout towers of the mid-twen-tieth century, and from the dan-gerous, snow-laden heights ofMount Washington to the pre-

tentious grounds of the famedMountain View House inWhitefield, Ive covered a lot ofground with this book.

The Littleton author who co-wrote the popular hiking guide,The 4000-Footers of the WhiteMountain and is co-editor of thecurrent edition of the AMCWhite Mountain Guide, said theinclusion of a chapter on the1938 hurricane is quite appro-

priate given that this is the 75thanniversary of the greatSeptember storm that felled alarge portion of NewHampshires standing timber.Ive tried to relate to readerswhat the storm meant to theregion and how Granite Staters

coped with the unprecedenteddamage caused by the hurri-canes rain and wind, added theauthor. The story is comple-mented by a number of old pho-tos, several of which have never

before been published.

Dickerman will debut Storiesfrom the White Mountains thisSaturday, September 28, at theannual Sugar Hill fall foliageevent. Beginning at 11 a.m., hewill be at the Sugar HillMeetinghouse to discuss both ofhis new books and to sign pur-chased copies. His display of

books will also include anassortment of his other recently

published books, along with afew select titles from hisLittleton-based publishinghouse.

His newest book is now avail-able in many New Hampshire

retail establishments and alsofrom the authors own business,Bondcliff Books of Littleton,

New Hampshire (www.bond-cliffbooks.com). For moreinformation, call 603-444-4880or send an email to [email protected].

Atticus M. Finch takes in the view from theRoost in Evans Notch.

You can always follow andkeep tabs on Tom and Atticusby visiting their blog regularlyat:tomandatticus.blogspot.com.

Jack Ryan would be happy withthe hikes weve taken this week.

My father was mostly whatsknown as a windshield tourist.Whenever we came north fromMassachusetts, hed drive usaround the White Mountainsand thats how we saw thesewondrous peaks through awindshield. Oh sure, we did allthe touristy things such asClarks Trading Post, the gondo-la up Cannon Mountain, theauto road and the cog railway upMount Washington, the Flume,Santas Village, Storyland, andall the other activities youngfamilies tend to do. But we alsodid some hiking. Just nothing

of any height or difficulty.Our hikes were more like walksin the woods of no real distance.Occasionally wed stumbleupon a view. This past week-end, while sitting up on theRoost at the northern end ofEvans Notch, my father came tomind. It was only a half mile tothe summit, then down anothertenth of a mile to a brilliantviewpoint. We finished off thehike by walking down the longway (seven tenths of a mile), tothe southern terminus of thetrail, and with an eight tenths ofa mile road walk back to our car.

Yesterday, we drove toWonalancet and hiked to the topof Mount Katherine (a 3.2 mileround trip). Now if ever there

was a mistaken classificationhere in the White Mountains itwould be calling what wasnamed after Katherine Sleeper amountain. Its more like a hill.But once on top of that splendidlittle summit there is a beautifulview across the bucolic farm-land in Tamworth and the landrises slowly until it reaches thecrescendo of Mount Chocoruaoff in the distance. And as soonas I finish typing this up, Atticusand I will be heading to Lincolnto drop in on Steve Smith at theMountain Wanderer to take careof some business. When intown well drive up throughFranconia Notch and take

advantage of Bald Mountainand Artists Bluff. We used totake that 1.5 mile hike quiteoften when we lived in Lincolnand treated it as an afternoon ormorning walk.

Now in all fairness to thesesmaller peaks, or what could beconsidered mere bumps in rela-tion to the rocky behemothsaround them, a mountaindoesnt know whether its tall orsmall. A mountain just is andseems quite happy with its cir-cumstances. All three of thesesensational short hikes havesomething in common, for little

peaks they give great bang forthe buck views to the surround-

ing area. As short as they maybe, there is some work involved.The climb up the Roost mayonly be half a mile but it rises upmore than 550 feet in elevation.According to the AMCs WhiteMountain Guide (edited bySmith and Mike Dickerman), anelevation gain of one thousandfeet over a mile is considered asteep climb. (No wonder wewere feeling out of breath inEvans Notch on Sunday.) Andthat last scramble up to the topof Bald Mountain has you usingyour hands from time to time.

Okay, so none of these are to beconfused with Lafayette,Washington, Moosilauke, or theKinsmans. But presently wetake what we can get. Atticusand I are a long way off from

the days of thinking nothingabout trekking longer thantwenty miles. The little guy ishalfway between eleven andtwelve, but I dont think his agewould really slow him down.Cancer has, however. Actually,the cancer hasnt. Its thechemo. He doesnt seem tomiss that absent toe since itsamputation earlier in the sum-mer. Heck, we climbed BlackCap less than three weeks afterits removal. But chemo is a dif-ferent thing. Its fighting poisonwith poison, but the drugdoesnt differentiate betweengood cells and bad and it wreakshavoc on the body.

Atticuss body handled the firsttreatment well. The secondwasnt so easy. It got worse asthe weeks went on, so much sothat weve now moved his treat-ments from every three weeks toevery four. There were evensome days last week he chosenot to go for our regular morn-ing or evening walk.

So while in the past I wouldhave had nice things to sayabout the views offered from theRoost, Mount Katherine, andBald Mountain and talked aboutthem being pleasant walks,for us, theyve turned intomountains. At least for this

summer and fall.My father loved such gentlehikes and it was a great way towork out his troop of childrenwhen we were on vacation. Butlike the mountains themselves,Jack Ryan didnt seem to con-sider them small at all. He wasaway from his Framingham orBoston office and was in thewoods, armed with a sense ofwonder and a lightness of spirit.And oh, what a pleasure thosewalks in the woods were evenif I was too young to appreciatethem. Those gentle seeds hesprinkled throughout our child-hood turned into somethingmuch more for Atticus and me.They turned into our way of life.

As we wait patiently and holdonto ourselves throughout the

chemo storm, I remember whatmy father thought of littlemountains and those walks intoa wooded wonderland and I feelit, too. For now, they are allAtticus and I have as we scaleour toughest mountain. Andyet, they feel like enough.While sitting on those rockyviewpoints, the world is quiteglorious to me far more sothan the view from our couch and especially so when I look tomy side and see one paw with amissing toe and a soul at peaceas he too takes the views andfills his soul.

I applaud John OBrien, not formentioning the Doolittle

Raiders in his Aug. 10 letter(An Overdue Welcome Home)

and their final toast 71 yearssince their historic mission, butfor his view that we shouldreach out and welcome home allthe men and women who have

fought our wars.

Everyone has the right toexpress views about actionstaken by our government indeclaring war on anothernation, but that does not justify

punishing those called upon tofight any particular war. We didnot see any serious anti-warmovement for entering WorldWar II, but anti-governmentattacks did begin when webegan to lose good men andwomen during the Korean War.

Then came the Vietnam War,when a large number ofAmericans expressed a stronglyanti-government attitude. Thisattitude is still present today inhow veterans from that war aretreated. These brave Americanveterans were put in a categoryof shame for doing a jobordered by their government.We see many in our towns andon city streets looking for hand-outs and sleeping in alleys. Theyare our sons, daughters, broth-ers and sisters. They deserve the

same treatment and respect thatthe Doolittle Raiders, the Bandof Brothers and the Tuskegeeairmen have been given over thedecades.

I know I can speak for the sur-viving Doolittle Raiders andtheir families and friends, thatno veteran who fought in any

war to defend our countryshould be treated without totalrespect and honor, whether they

fell in battle or are still recover-ing in a VA hospital. They gavetheir all in answering the call

for service.

In a few months, the fourremaining Doolittle Raiders willhave their final toast to honortheir departed friends who

shared their historic mission,the first raid on the empire of

Japan on April 18, 1942. Theywill also honor all of those who

served in their war and the warsthat followed. I hope you can all

join us in saluting all our menand women who have and are

serving our country.

99 YEARS YOUNG on OCTOBER 8, 2012

Please Send Cards & Thoughts to:

Helen Whitcher

27 Gingerbread Lane Warren, NH 03279

I am really trying to keep a goodpositive attitude these days, yetsomehow, someone or some-thing just seems to break my

good spirit.

First off, our thoughts are cer-

tainly with the people in parts ofColorado that have been devas-tated by recent flooding. Seemsmany spots could take upwardsof years to rebuild. There wereover 30 bridges and entire com-munities lost.

It seems all you hear on thenews these days are pretty muchabout death, destruction,extreme weather and tons ofburglaries and robberies. Moreoften than not, its usually about

bad people taking advantage ofdecent people.

I have always said, that humanswill be their own demise, andeach time I listen to the news, it

seems more likely than not, that

will be the case.

As the population expands, andas the robberies and killings

grow at a rapid rate, it makesone wonder why some find itnecessary to take advantage ofothers, or simply feel a need tokill them many times with nocompassion at all!

In a world where the last thingwe need is more violence, war,

and death, it seems its growingby leaps and bounds. It almost

seems like we are living in theera of the great train robberiesand noted bank robberies.

The sad part is, as a country, we

should be moving forward, notbackwards to a time of Bonnieand Clyde, Jesse James and

John Dillinger.

Shouldnt we feel more protect-ed in 2013 than maybe in the1930s? Shouldnt we havemoved forward by now?Shouldnt we be in a world ofless war and violence than inthe past. Shouldnt we all just be

getting along?

So why arent we?

I will put my head on the chop-ping block here and say that Iblame politics and media all theway! No doubt in my mind.

We the sheep are guided eachand every day by what we seeand hear on television, on theradio and by our governmentofficials. Yes, many people thesedays would jump off the bridgeif told to do so, because the

government says its okay to doso and they have given you theright to do it!

People as a whole are moved bythe sense of urgency, threat andcan be moved to vulnerability bywatching dramatic footage ofbombings, killings and the like.

If that were not so, I ask this one

simple question - why cant justgood news be reported? Wouldyou watch it?

I am not stating to turn a blindeye on all that is bad, but what Iam saying is that it has been

proven that good news is posi-tive - positiveness brings more

positiveness. Alternatively, neg-ativity, brings more negativity!So why as a whole do peoplethrive to hear and see all that isbad?

In a world of being politicallycorrect and overly sensitive tothe rights of others, have we for-

gotten something. Have we for-got about the basic values of

humanity? Are we teaching ourchildren the proper values of lifeand human kindness or are wehoping someone else does that?

The bottom line is, people needto respect people a bit more and

in the hurried lives which we alllead, it unfortunately seems thatthere is no longer any time forthat these days - and its trulytoo bad! We are losing too manyof the much needed vital compo-nents tof a good working socie-ty!

Nobody Asked, Just MyOpinion!

Inspiring Words for You!Dear Friends, this world lacks hope.

Here are a few scriptures the Bible givesus on hope! God is our hope! Jeremiah 29:11,For I know the plans I have for you, says theLord. They are plans for good and not fordisaster, to give you a future and a hope. Psalm10:17, LORD, you know the hopes of thehelpless. Surely you will hear their cries andcomfort them. Psalm 33:18 Behold the eye ofthe LORD is on those who fear him, on thosewho hope in his steadfast love.. Isaiah 40:31,But they that wait upon the LORD shall renewtheir strength; they shall mount up with wingsas eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; andthey shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 43:2, Whenyou go through deep waters, I will be with you.When you go through rivers of difficulty, you

will not drown. When you walk through the fireof oppression, you will not be burned up; theflames will not consume you. God is our hope!!!God bless u all.
