Northcountry News October 26, 2012

Eastern Coyotes typically weigh 30-50 pounds and are 48-60 inches long, approximately twice the size
of their close relative, the

Western Coyote. Eastern Coyotes have long legs, thick fur, a pointy snout, a drooping bushy black-tipped tail and range in color
from a silvery gray to a grizzled, brownish red. The average life span of a wild coyote is only four years! Though coyotes are
often mistaken for a domestic dog hybrid, recent genetic research has attributed the Eastern Coyote's larger size and unique
behavioral characteristics to interbreeding with Canadian Gray Wolves. Unlike the wolf or domestic dog, coyotes run with their
tail pointing down. For those who call coyotes coydogs, it is a much misused term! There is currently no evidence to support that
in the Northeast, and coydogs seem to be a common myth. In fact, current DNA sampling of coyote tissue in the Northeast shows
no coyote/dog crosses what-so-ever. However, they do have a mixture of wolf DNA. - John Green, Warren, NH Photo

NH Youth Deer
Weekend___________
New Hampshires youth deer
weekend, Saturday and Sunday,
October 27-28, 2012, is the per-
fect time to take a youngster
hunting. This special weekend
gives young people age 15 and
younger the opportunity to go
deer hunting with an adult men-
tor, without the pressure of com-
peting with thousands of adult
hunters.
Accompanying adults must be
licensed hunters and are not
allowed to carry a firearm; the
idea is to concentrate your time
and attention on coaching your
young companion.
Prospects for this years youth
season are good, according to
Kent Gustafson, Deer Project
Leader for the New Hampshire
Fish and Game Department.
New Hampshires deer popula-
tion is healthy and will provide
excellent opportunities. In 2011,
young hunters took 475 deer
during the youth weekend, up
21% from the previous year.

Mr. Burbanks selection brings a
very lengthy and competitive
selection process to an end. The
nearly 3 month long process
featured over 60 well-qualified
applicants from around the
country. The Selectboard, work-

The weekend is a chance to
introduce young people to deer
hunting, under the careful guid-
ance of an experienced adult,
said Gustafson. You can build
bonds for a lifetime while track-
ing a whitetail through the
autumn woods or deciphering
the sounds of the forest from a
tree stand. We hope hunters will
spend the weekend with their
sons and daughters, grandchil-
dren or young friends, helping
them learn what hunting is all
about."
Gustafson notes that hunting
can also help youngsters learn
about the environment, conser-
vation, tradition and ethics, and
it can build a deep and abiding
appreciation for the wildlife and
wild places that many of our cit-
izens and visitors cherish.
New Hampshire has offered a
special youth deer hunt since
1999. Nonresident youth may
participate in New Hampshires
youth deer weekend only if their
state of residence allows New
Hampshire youth to participate
in its youth deer hunt.

Hampshires youth deer hunting

very impressed with Mr.
Burbanks knowledge and expe-
rience.
Mr. Burbank, a resident of near-
by Thornton, brings a wealth of
knowledge and over 38 years of
local government experience to
his new position. Mr. Burbank
currently serves as Chairman of
the Thornton Board of
Selectmen which has afforded
him a good deal of hands-on
municipal management experi-
ence and understanding of local
and regional issues unique to the
White Mountains Region of
NH. He brings a strong sense of
community and a broad under-
standing of local government to
the position. Most recently,
Burbank served as Health &
Safety Advisor at the New
Hampshire Local Government
Center where he has worked for
the past 9 years. Mr. Burbank
also retired as Chief of the
Waterville Valley Department of
Safety where he worked for
approximately 27 years.
O.J. Robinson, the chairman of
the Lincoln Board of Selectmen,
said that Burbank had the full
support of the board. He really
understands the needs of a com-
munity. He has a good under-
standing of how to deal with the
public and how to be open and
engaging.
Mr. Burbank plans to start work
in Lincoln on October 29th.

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.
Starting us off are a few news
stories you may have missed.
First, I thought these days were
long gone. A fashionable bar in
Australia didnt care for one
customers flowing mullet.
David Hoogland was recently
booted from Print Hall after the
owners decided they didnt care
for his business in the front,
party in the back look. Im not
in a gang, I dont have tattoos all
over me, Im just an everyday
person, he said. Wearing jeans,
a T-shirt and dress shoes,
Hoogland was asked to take his
hairdo elsewhere after just 20
minutes in the new nightspot,
according to the Herald Sun. I
agree if youre being rowdy, out
of control, drunk or abusive
then you should be kicked out
but if youre just sitting down
having a chat and a quiet social
drink, I think thats pretty rude.
Hoogland has sported the mullet
for more than a decade. (Me?
With my lack of hair, Im work-
ing on a skullet.)
Next, I saw an in-store poster
for a pair of $99 prescription
glasses. When I asked the clerk
what the $99 glasses would
really cost, she said probably
close to $400. Im in the wrong
business.
Finally, another candidate for
Parent of the Year: A 28-year-
old Evanston, Wyo. man faces
charges in Utah after allegedly
using his childs birthday
money to buy marijuana.
Deputy Christian Peay tells the
Deseret News several bags of
marijuana were found in a back-
pack when the alleged perp was
pulled over. Peay says a loaded
gun was also found in the vehi-
cle. Two young children were
among the passengers. Sigh!
How to determine who won the
political debate(s) whoever
you support won. Thats what it
looks like on Facebook in an
unscientific poll. BTW, its
tough for deeper thinkers to pick
a candidate. All I hear from my
Republican friends is how bad
Obama is. There has been noth-
ing (NOTHING!) about what
Romney plans to do or how
much better things will be under
his leadership. Of course it may
be because he wont reveal any
specifics until after he is elect-
ed: Trust me. Elect me and
well tell you later.
As this is my last column before
the election, a final shot. This is
offered with reprint permission
from Utahs Gary Shumway, a
former Constitution Party can-
didate: How is the candidate
going to get the message that
you are unhappy with their rep-
resentation if you continually
vote for them and they continue
doing what you do not like?
Rewarding someone for doing
what you do not want them to
do is, frankly, nuts. Of course
the Republicans and Democrats
want you to vote for the lesser
of two evils because one of
them continues in power. Do not
fall into that trap. If you vote for
the lesser of two evils then you
have wasted your vote because
that is not the outcome you
desired, regardless of how oner-
ous the other candidate is or
how critical the party says it is
to stop the opposing candidate
(when wont they say that?) Do
not ever expect a candidate to
believe you are unhappy with
their representation if you con-
tinue to vote for them. To not
waste your vote, you must either
vote for a third-party candidate,
if one is available and they more
approximate your beliefs, or
you should vote for a write-in
candidate. Me? I Plan to vote
for Libertarian Gary Johnson,
the one who wasnt included in
any debates. For more info on
issues: http://www.lp.org/
In my Youre kidding, right?
Department, the City Council of
Jersey City, N.J., voted last
month to settle a lawsuit filed by
Joshua Lopez, who had driven
his car directly at a police offi-
cer during a 2009 traffic stop,
trapping the officer against his
own squad car, and thus forcing
the officer to fire at him. Lopez
suffered only an injured hand,
but the city has now agreed to
give him $26,500 out of fear of
litigation risk. [The Jersey
Journal]
Argument settler and eye-open-
er: http://www.whosaliveand-
whosdead.com/ Just sayin.
Maybe patience is a virtue, but I
couldnt do it.... Two brothers
from central New York have
claimed a $5 million lottery
prize for a scratch-off ticket
they bought at their parents
Syracuse store six years ago,
state officials said. Andy
Ashkar, 34, of Camillus, and
Nayel Ashkar, 36, of Cicero,
came forward just 11 days
before the top prize in the
$500,000,000 Extravaganza
scratch-off game would have
expired, New York Lottery said.
Andy Ashkar said he bought the
ticket at his parents conven-
ience store in Syracuse in 2006
and decided to share the win-
nings with his brother, officials
said. The agency said the
younger brother said he waited
so long to claim his prize
because he was concerned the
windfall could negatively
influence his life if he didnt
plan properly before being pub-
licly introduced as the winner.
Andy Ashkar also told lottery
officials that he also didnt want
the windfall to influence his
engagement and subsequent
marriage. [Yahoo News]
There is no reliable, quick news
source where I live, so when we
had the recent small earthquake
a couple of weeks ago,
Facebook lit up and many
almost instantly shared the rele-
vant information. Way to go! By
the way, to give you an idea of
how old and old-fashioned I am,
when theres breaking news on a
major scale, I still check CNN
first.
Murphys Law variations. These
are old, but I suspect there is a
new generation waiting to hear
them: (1) Law of Mechanical
Repair: After your hands
become coated with grease your
nose will begin to itch or youll
have to pee. (2) Law of proba-
bility: The probability of being
watched is directly proportional
to the stupidity of your act. (3)
Law of the Alibi: If you tell the
boss you were late for work
because you had a flat tire, the
very next morning you will have
a flat tire. (4) Variation Law: If
you change lines (or traffic
lanes), the one you were in will
start to move faster than the one
you are in now (works every
time). (5) Law of Close
Encounters: The probability of
meeting someone you know
increases when you are with
someone you dont want to be
seen with. Bonus: Wilsons
Law: As soon as you find a
product that you really like, they
will stop making it.
Finally, in our TMI Dept. (too
much information), by the time
you read this, it will be old
news, but I will have had my
first-ever colonoscopy. As I am
waaaay late in getting one, I am
not sure what theyll find (prob-
ably my head). Heres hoping
for the best.... I suspect on prep
day I will be spewing more
stuff than the political debaters
(if thats possible). Ill keep you
posted.
Later.

Talking
About
Our
Schools
Woodsville Elementary School
By Kathleen Clark, Principal
It has been an exciting start to
the school year at Woodsville
Elementary School! We have
completed our initial series of
three Ready! For
Kindergarten parent education
classes. Participants who attend-
ed all three classes expressed
enthusiasm for the program and
a desire for the classes to contin-
ue. The grant that originally
funded the program has expired
so we are exploring options for
funding a second round of class-
es.
Over the summer, interactive
white boards (Promethean
Boards) were installed in every
classroom and the library at
WES. Teachers participated in
training in August so that they
would be able to utilize the
boards effectively when school
resumed. The boards have made
an astounding difference in the
way instruction is being pre-
sented and students are excited
about being able to visualize
concepts and manipulate infor-
mation on the board for the
whole class to view.
Teachers are using the boards
throughout the day to assist with
instruction in every curricular
area. The staff has been particu-
larly pleased to discover that
they can easily use the boards to
locate (or create) lessons that
are aligned with the Common
Core Standards. Students are
learning to use the boards to
solve math problems, practice
spelling, record their lunch
choices, investigate science and
social studies topics, and access
a wealth of online resources for
reading and writing. As a result,
students are more actively par-
ticipating in their lessons.
We have completed this year's
state NECAP assessments.
Third-graders will be treated to
an ice cream sundae party in
recognition of the effort they
expended on the tests. Second
and third grade students have
also completed the fall NWEA
assessments which can be used
to plan for subsequent instruc-
tion. Teachers can use this infor-
mation to design personalized
lessons that address each child's
growth targets.
Our fall Open House was a
resounding success! Parents had
opportunities to meet the staff,
view the Promethean Boards in
use, and explore the Study
Island software that classes are
using for extra practice in math
and literacy. As always, the chil-
dren were enthused about intro-
ducing their families to their
teachers and classrooms.
Families will notice some
changes in our school lunch
offerings this year as Cafe
Services strives to comply with
the new federal guidelines for
school lunches. Some of these
changes have already occurred
while others will be phased in.
For example, our lunch program
will not be able to continue
offering cheeseburgers to stu-
dents because they are not com-
pliant with the new nutritional
guidelines. Students will also be
introduced to a wider variety of
fruits and vegetables and may
notice some changes in portion
sizes.
We love to have our families
visit us to see all the amazing
things that are happening at
WES. Do you perhaps have a
few hours that could be spent
reading to children or helping
with special projects?
Arrangements for classroom
visits may be made directly with
each child's teacher.
Parents are also encouraged to
join our dedicated PTA and lend
a hand with the many activities
they sponsor throughout the
school year. For example, PTA
members make fresh popcorn
for us on Fridays and it would
be very helpful if there were a
few more parents willing to
donate some time on a few
Fridays to help with this project.
In addition, PTA also coordi-
nates free book distributions for
all students, hosts our annual
Breakfast with Santa and our
end-of-year BBQ, co-ordinates
our fundraisers, provides mini
grants for classrooms and sup-
ports countless other activities
each year. They are hoping to
increase their membership so
please consider joining them!
Teacher Rose Bailey has mem-
bership cards available for any-
one who is interested and may
be contacted at 747-3363, ext.
117 or rbailey@sau23.org.
The WES Wellness Committee
is hoping to expand upon the
health and nutrition activities
that were instituted last year.
Our PE teacher, Shawna Brown
Newcomb, has again volun-
teered to chair the committee
that is planning these events.
Last year's food tasting was
very successful because we had
so much support from the com-
munity! News of this year's
nutrition activities and other
health focused events will be
distributed to families as our
plans evolve. Anyone with new
ideas for this year or who might
wish to volunteer to help us
plan, organize, or conduct this
year's events is encouraged to
contact Mrs. Newcomb at snew-
comb@sau23.org.

HuNT FOR THE HuNGRy:
N.H. FOOD BANK SEEKS
MEAT DONATIONS FROM
HuNTERS
New Hampshire hunters can
share their fall harvest with the
needy through the Hunt for the
Hungry program at the New
Hampshire Food Bank. Once
again this fall, the food bank is
collecting donations of whole or
processed game animals for dis-
tribution to more than 400 food
pantries, soup kitchens, home-
less shelters and group homes
statewide.
Last year (2011), the Hunt for
the Hungry program took in
2,000 pounds of donated deer,
bear, moose and other game
meat for distribution to the
needy.
To donate game, and for pack-
aging instructions, call the Food
Bank at 603-669-9725, x240. If
youre donating a whole deer,
you can bring it to Lemay &
Sons Beef in Goffstown, N.H.
(603-622-0022), and they will
process it for the food bank at
no charge. Please note that the
N.H. Food Bank is not equipped
to accept donations of wild
game birds, such as wild turkey
or grouse.
We are counting on continued
strong support from hunters this
year, said Bruce Wilson,
Director of Operations for the
N.H. Food Bank. Donations of
protein foods are always hard to
come by. Thats a big need that
the Hunt for the Hungry pro-
gram helps fill. Venison is espe-
cially popular, a real treat for
clients.
The New Horizons Food Bank
in Manchester also accepts
game donations to help feed the
hungry. To donate game meat to
New Horizons, call 603-628-
6133, x114.
The Hunt for the Hungry pro-
gram is a great way for hunters
to share their harvest and help
needy families get through the
winter," said Glenn
Normandeau, Executive
Director of the New Hampshire
Fish and Game Department.
Wild game is a local renewable
resource that is high in protein,
low in fat and all natural not to
mention delicious.

age on behalf of our citizenry,"
responded Mark Ellingwood,
Chief of the Wildlife Division,

I believe in the magic of these
mountains. Its what drew me
here; its what keeps me here.
Its where I connect with my
late father, where I made peace
with him when he was still
alive. Its where I followed a lit-
tle dog home to myself, the self
I always dreamed of being. Its
where I finally met my best
friend and the love of my life.
For me, the White Mountains
are my beginning and my end-
ing; my alpha and my omega.
I find a certain synchronicity
here not only on the trails, by
the rocky streams where moun-
tain waters rush swiftly by, on
the exposed ledges of the
Presidential Range, the mysteri-
ous forests of the Sandwich
Range, or on summit halfway
between heaven and earth. Its
even in the little house we live
in down in the valley and its
where things come together and
life makes sense.
No matter what we plan for, we
can never be truly ready for
what life will deliver to us.
Theres just no way of knowing
who or what is on the other side
of that door were about to
open. Its part of the mystery of
it all. Look at it all in the right
way and you can see what
Einstein meant: The most
beautiful thing we can experi-
ence is the mysterious. Its
what keeps life interesting. Its
what makes us grow.
Last spring I lost a friend to
alcoholism. No matter what I
did or tried to do, I couldnt help
him, but as anyone who has
been through a similar experi-
ence will tell you, the only one
who can save an addict is the
alcoholic himself. My friend
didnt die, he simply crawled
further inside the bottle and I
had to make a decision to go on
with my life. What died was our
friendship.
Within a month we adopted
Will, an elderly, mostly blind,
deaf, and arthritic miniature
schnauzer. Another friend had
the opinion that we rescued Will
because we couldnt rescue the
alcoholic in our lives. Perhaps
there is some truth to that but
Im not really sure.
I ran into the alcoholic in July.
He was still drinking and still
sinking deeper into the bottle.
Meanwhile, I had expected Will
to be dead by July. He was in
such bad shape, so angry, in so
much pain when he came to live
with us in May I wondered if it
was cruel keeping him going.
But by July Will was doing
much better. By August he was
thriving. Now here in the mid-
dle of October I look at this
nearly sixteen year old dog with
a sense wonder. Hes not only
joyful and fulfilled; hes discov-
ered a sense of self. He knows
who he is and what he wants.
Will doesnt get around much.
Hes been to some book sign-
ings with us, but people in town
dont get to see much of him
because his poor stiff hips are in
such bad shape probably from
being crated for far too many
years and he cant walk very
far. Two weeks ago I shared our
plan to try to get this old boy to
the top of a mountaintop. His
hips have gotten better. Theyre
no longer tender to the touch
and he sits in the crook of my
arm as Atticus always has. They
are still not strong enough to
allow him a long walk, never
mind climb up even the easiest
of mountains. But I thought he
may be ready to sit in one of the
child-carrying backpacks par-
ents put their kids into. So we
went to Eastern Mountain
Sports, picked up a backpack,
crossed our fingers, and gave it
our best shot while sitting in the
comfort of our backyard.
I held Will as I always do, slow-
ly slid him down into the seat
and let his long lower legs poke
through the openings and dan-
gle downward. At first he was a
bit nervous by this new position.
Then he whimpered. Then my
heart broke when I heard him
crying. I pulled him out and
held him for a bit. We waited
and gave him another try but it
was clear he wasnt just limited
by fear, it was also pain. So I
pulled him out and sat for a
while as he buried his head
against my chest and let me hold
him. (This is something that
never would have happened in
the beginning. He wouldnt
have let me hold him like this.
He barely let me touch him, and
I wouldnt have let his flashing
teeth so close to me.)
Sitting there cradling this dog
who was left to die in a kill shel-
ter less than six months ago I
wondered if maybe, holding
him like that, letting him cry,
letting him feel safe in my arms,
letting him feel loved, if maybe
sitting there with me was his
mountaintop. Perhaps he didnt
need to reach some summit
thousands of feet in the air.
But while I was holding him I
soon noticed that as soon as he
calmed down and gave me a
tiny flick of his tongue a kiss
perhaps? that this mostly blind
dog started casting his nose
about in the air and let his eyes
try to focus on shapes and
movements all around us. A
gentle breeze tussled his white
hair, he closed his eyes, seemed
to smile, and I heard that same
familiar sigh Atticus always
makes on a mountaintop when
hes in my arms.
Seeing him like that has me
determined to get to a mountain-
top. I want him to experience
what it is like just once in his
life. But I want him to enjoy it
for if he doesnt, and if he does-
nt feel safe and comfortable,
theres no sense in it. And I
want to do it before too much
time passes. Soon the roads
with access to the easier moun-
tains I have in mind will be
closed. Soon the snows will
come and winters cold will
keep Will and his brittle bones
inside.
Im smart enough to know that
for as far as weve come, and
how Will finally understands
what it is like to be loved and is
clearly loving us back, how hes
so much healthier than he was,
this redemption hes going
through will soon come to an
end. Thats the thing about
adopting an older dog. Time
together is dear but all too short.
The reality is that he may not
live to see another spring, not at
this age.
It seems rather cruel, that now
that hes found his home, he
may not get to enjoy it for a long
time. We all knew this taking
him in. We did it to give him a
place to die in dignity and with
respect. I just didnt count on
him living. And its not that I
didnt count on him living this
long, I just didnt count on him
choosing to live again and love
again. Unlike the friend we lost
last April, Will chose to live
when he had every reason to
give up on life as life had given
up on him.
Because Will chose to live hes
made our lives richer because of
it. He fills our hearts on a daily
basis and when the time comes
to say goodbye, he will break
them.
So when people ask me why I
would want to take an old blind
and deaf dog to a mountaintop
my answer is clear. Its because
life is all too fleeting and all too
dear not to. I want him to live
while he still can.
So this weekend, well take one
last shot at getting Will to a
mountaintop. An enclosed
stroller made for dogs and cats
is arriving tomorrow. Its
rugged enough to take on a gen-
tle trail and should be far more
comfortable for Will to ride in
than the backpack was, espe-
cially since well swaddle him
in padding. Of course well be
following Atticus up that moun-
tain and there will be two of us
to lift the stroller when we get to
the rougher parts.
Hopefully when the weekend is
done, Will would have sat on his
first, and most likely, last moun-
taintop. Will it all be worth it? I
believe so. For I believe in fate
and synchronicity. I believe we
come into each others lives for
a reason.
The translated Italian title for
Following Atticus equates to
With You to the Top of the
World. I think its ironic that
while well be helping Will get
to a special place thats not even
close to being the tallest peak in
our valley, never mind the
White Mountains, or the world,
something tells me that when all
is said and done, all of us will
feel as though weve reached
the top of the world together.

I just read Barbara McElroys
letter to the editor and all I can
say is shame on you Barbara.
To suggest Senator Forrester is
not available to her constituents
is simply not true. Either you
have not done your homework
or you are deliberately perpetu-
ating a lie.
Jeanie is a trusted, hardwork-
ing, fearless partner and advo-
cate for our towns. Jeanie has
visited every single Select board
in her district, at least twice,
and some three times or more,
since shes taken office.
When Rumney Selectmen asked
for Jeanies help in crafting leg-
islation that would help the
town and Rumney businesses,
Jeanie worked tirelessly to
ensure the legislation became
law.
Jeanie broke new ground as a
Senator for District 2 by hold-
ing roundtable meetings with
various constituency groups,
from town road agents and
superintendents, to teachers and
welfare administrators.
She has actively engaged town
officials in each of her commu-
nities, asking what she can do
for them. Whether helping with
labor issues in Canaan or
Bridgewater; broadband issues
in Haverhill or Dorchester; or
economic development in
Warren or Ashland, Jeanie has
been a strong advocate for her
communities. For these reasons
and more she is receiving the
Legislator of the Year award
in two weeks from the NH
Association of Counties.
Jeanie has been a strong advo-
cate for the developmentally
disabledattending Christmas
parties, legislative meetings,
personally visiting families in
their homes to learn more about
how she might be of assistance,
and fighting to restore funding
cuts made by the Governor in
his budget.
Jeanie has also been a strong
defender of property rights
against Northern Pass with her
legislation protecting land own-
ers against eminent domain.
Since her campaign kicked off in
April, Jeanie has hosted multi-
ple open events that were
announced in the newspapers
through paid advertising and
press releases including the
towns of Meredith, Haverhill,
Bristol, and Danbury.
Barbara, never have I known a
State Senator quite like Jeanie
Forrester. Jeanie has nothing to
be afraid ofDistrict 2 voters
sent her to Concord to focus on
jobs and the economy and bal-
ance the budget and thats
exactly what she did. Im proud
that Jeanie is our Senator and
ask you to join me on November
6th in voting for Jeanie once
again.

This letter is in regards to one of
the candidates for the 15th dist.
Her name is Linda Lauer. I have
known Linda for about four an a
half years.
Durning this time I have come
to know the type of concerned
and caring person she is. She
has a background as a member
of our armed forces as a Lt. in
the U.S.N. As such she is use to
having the ability to organize
her work, so that her priorities
remain focused. (priorities;
being the people who elected
her to office)
Lt. Lauer was a professor at
Annapolis Naval Academy. In
this position she had to not only
answer questions but also ask
questions. This would require a
lot of research on her part to be
sure the answers were correct.
This quality in one of our elect-
ed officals has been sorely lack-
ing in Concord N.H. If you think
that we need more intelligence
in Concord then i'm sure you
will find Linda Lauer is the can-
didate for you.
Thankyou for reading this letter.
WE SHOULD ALL VOTE!
Daniel Burleigh
Bath N.H.
The current Congress is a mess.
It is filled with people who
spend more time being politi-
cians and trying to get re-elect-
ed than representing the people
who sent them there to work for
us.
They spend their time blaming
each other for the problems fac-
ing our great nation rather than
doing real work on the solu-
tions.
Charlie Bass is the rare elected
official who has shown a will-
ingness to work with both par-
ties to fix problems. The House,
where budgets originate, has
continued to fulfill its responsi-
bility to produce them. The
Senate continues to refuse to
bring them to the floor for dis-
cussion, to say nothing about a
vote, and has not come up with
their own version for almost
four years.
Charlie Bass is one of a few
independent thinkers in
Congress who support the
deficit reduction plan proposed
by Democrat Erskine Bowles
and Republican Alan Simpson.
These two men appreciated
Charlies solutions-based
approach, and on October 2,
gave him their endorsement for
another term.
While I am uncertain at this
point as to how I feel about the
Erskine-Bowles plan, I respect
Charlie for looking at options,
being willing to work with both
sides of the aisle on issues, and
having the courage to support
those that he feels are best for
not only New Hampshire, but
also for our Country.
Im tiredof the blame game, of
politicians for whom the welfare
of our Country plays second fid-
dle to Party, of those same
politicians spending money that
we dont have, jeopardizing
future generations.
Charlie Bass and his ability to
think independently are needed
in Congress. Return him to
Congress on November 6th.

Plymouth, NH
I am proud to endorse Jeanie
Forrester for her re-election bid
to the State Senate District 2
seat. Senator Forrester has been
an outstanding representative
for her constituents in the two
years that she has served.
Jeanie has made it her mission
to know as much as she
can about the Senate District 2
area so that she can be a true
servant leader. Her mission
started the day she decided to
run and has continued through-
out her service as our Senator.
She has visited the county jails
and nursing homes (Belknap,
Grafton and now Merrimack),
and has spent extensive time
learning about the mechanics of
the Grafton County Drug Court.
Jeanie has talked with the
County Attorneys, Police Chiefs
and Sheriffs and attended their
legislative briefings. Jeanie has
sat through Court hearings to
gain more knowledge of the
judicial system. She has partic-
ipated in various law enforce-
ment ride-alongs to better
understand and represent law
enforcement.
Jeanie is a "hands-on" Senator.
Her "passion" is serving her
constituents to the best of her
ability. She is the hardest work-
ing Senator I have met in a long,
long time. Her service to our
District is second to none.
I encourage everyone to join me
on November 6th and VOTE for
JEANIE FORRESTER.
Thank you!!
Doug Dutile
Grafton County Sheriff
I am a single parent. I never
had the benefit of a college edu-
cation. Thats why it was so
important to me that my daugh-
ter obtain a college degree. I
worked hard to
make sure that my daughter was
able to attend the University of
New Hampshire. And I was
thrilled beyond measure when
she graduated a few years ago.
But like many college students
who have graduated from one of
New Hampshires public univer-
sities, my daughter is now strad-
dled with high student loan
debt. As a member of the middle
class, obtaining student loans
was the only viable way my
daughter could obtain her
undergraduate degree. And
like scores of other bright and
talented 20 somethings who
have grown up in New
Hampshire, my daughter left
New Hampshire to start her
career in another state with
greater job opportunities.
Thats why I have been so disap-
pointed in Senator Jeanie
Forresters voting record in the
New Hampshire State Senate.
She supported a budget that cut
public funding for the university
and community college system
in half. Doesnt she know that
New Hampshire college stu-
dents have among the highest
student loan debt in the coun-
try? According to a recent
news article, Forresters 2011
budget cut to the University sys-
tem was the deepest single cut to
public higher education in
American history. UNH now
receives just 6 percent of its
budget from the state, the lowest
per-capita for public higher
education in the nation.
Forresters vote is all the more
shocking when you consider
that Plymouth State University
is located in Senate District 2.
Why would the senator repre-
senting PSU vote against it?
Forrester also voted for the
voucher bill that will decrease
general fund revenue, and
undercut public education in
New Hampshire.
Thats why I support Bob Lamb
to be our next state Senator.
Bob will work hard to support
public education, including
higher education, in our state.
Bob has the personal and pro-
fessional background to help us
to continue to recover jobs and
opportunities for our younger
generation in our state. I also
believe that Bob Lamb will work
hard in a bi-partisan way to
craft solutions for the many
challenges New Hampshire
faces. We need a state Senator
to vote in our interests, and not
against us.
Please join me in voting for Bob
Lamb to be our next state
Senator on November 6. You
will be glad you did!

Well, another week and another
100 political calls and political
surveys!
Do they ever stop, or use com-
mon sense. We had the same
exact poll company call our
house on the same day within a
matter of three hours. THE
SAME OUTFIT! So what does
that mean when the poll results
are actually given to people?
How can I believe in these poll-
sters when they are asking the
same people the same questions
within the same day? Try to tell
me that these polls are a way of
telling whose ahead in the polit-
ical game and I'll laugh at you.
It got to the point where my wife
and I were telling them all kinds
of things. so if we are ding that,
just how many other people are
finding it amusing to give them
different answers each time they
call. So when the polls say that
your person is in the lead, think
again. I for one don't go by any
poll that is showing results.
There's one that's running for
Congress in the current race, (I
won't mention any names) but
after at least the sixth call, I told
the person that NOW I would
not be voting for their person
just because this was the sixth
call to the house and I had final-
ly had enough.
Why is it that the Do Not Call
List doesn't include politicians
and political calls! Seeing that
they are the worst offenders at
calling at all hours? they'd be
the first ones I would place on
the darn list if it were my choice.
Enough is enough! Well, we al I
know that any limitations in this
country do not include politi-
cians!!! That means term limits,
the amount they spend on get-
ting voted back in, calls, their
health care and of course their
spending. They get away with it
all.
My other pet peeve with the
entire political realm, is the fact
that every single ad that is
shown on TV or heard on the
radio, is by one politician con-
stantly putting their competitor
down for what they have or have
not done. Am I the only person
that would actually appreciate
and like to see ads from those
running that actually tells us
what they themselves will do for
me? Instead of telling us what
the other has not done? Many
times I wonder if they ever tell
us what they are going to do.
They are pretty darn good at
getting around questions that
are asked of them.
I hate to wish away time, but I
can honestly say that I for one
can not wait until November 6th
is over and done with. Maybe,
just maybe we'll get a little
break before they start cam-
paigning for the next election!
Doubtful, but hopeful!
Well, by the time the next issue
of the paper comes out - it will
be all over and done with. That
is of course, unless there are
dimpled chads and they are still
recounting!! Please... no... !!!!
See you on the other side of the
elections....

I have known Dr. Debi Warner
while developing a television
show for her upbeat and practi-
cal methods of helping families
deal with home renovations and
projects. Few people work as
hard as Dr Debi, and the results
were great. She quickly got a
radio show in Washington DC
and received national attention
from producers for her televi-
sion show.
I have been proud to be associ-
ated with Dr. Debi as her
Executive Producer and witness
her professional and compas-
sionate abilities as premium in
any endeavor she chooses.
She has decided to offer her
services to the causes of the
North Country. I believe Dr.
Debi is someone who gets
things done, and I am sure that
the results will be effective with
her intelligent, earnest and per-
sistent help. She is truly a hum-
ble person who looks to help
others. Her professionalism is
apparent in each of her dealings
and actions.
I look forward to visiting the
area again and experiencing
your beautiful mountains and
forests that I know Dr. Debi
believes nourishes the soul. I
hope that when I do return, Dr.
Debi will be Senator Warner,
serving the area and people she
loves. No matter your political
leanings, she is special and a
person truly worthy of your
vote.

Romney +5 Percentage points
When this election is over, I
believe that Romney will win by
5+ percentage points. He is
honest and will tell us the truth,
not just what we want to hear.
He can get this country back to
work, thus bringing in tax dol-
lars. He will also reduce spend-
ing thus reducing debt. The
American people will come out
in great numbers and vote this
election, not just for Romney but
for this country; for they know
we are not moving in the right
direction.
Romney will work with congress
to create jobs, lead us to energy
independence, and lessen gov-
ernment control from all aspects
of our lives. Government is not
the solution, it is the problem.
Has this president delivered on
his promises? NO. Is Obama
really helping the middle
class?! Gas to get to work has
increased by 95.6% from $1.98
to $3.87 per gallon under his
leadership, and our national
debt has increased by 68% from
9.5 trillion to 16 trillion. The
Democrats talk about Romney
and Ryan changing Medicare.
The Obama Administration has
withdrawn $718 billion from the
Medicare savings account to
cover Obama care this year,
Blue Cross Blue Shield says the
contribution from seniors for
Medicare has increased to
$104.20 in 2012, and will
increase to $120.20 in 2013 and
$247.00 in 2014. These are pro-
visions incorporated in the
Obamacare legislation, pur-
posely delayed so as not to con-
fuse the 2012 Re-Election
Campaigns. Unemployment has
increased, not decreased; (at
least until September); and
underemployment is at approx.
25%. Under Obama, job cre-
ation has increased at the gov-
ernment level, both national and
state. But in the private sector
businesses are hesitant to hire
due to this administrations con-
trols and regulations.
Where is the transparency we
were promised? No budget in
3.5 years! That explains the
increase in debt. The (30+)
czars are in control of all
aspects of our life. This country
will not exist as it once was with
4 more years of Obama.
Romney said it best --take your
anger, bitterness and division
and go back to Chicago.

Dear New Hampshire voters,
There are two people this year
that are running for New
Hampshire State Senate,
District 1. This district is per-
haps the most difficult district in
all of New Hampshire to repre-
sent, as it runs from Thornton to
Canada, 2,253 square miles,
making up 34 towns, 1 city, and
23 unincorporated entities. In
fact, Dixville Notch, best known
for as being the first in the
nation to cast its votes in the
primaries is a vital part of this
district. There is only one per-
son for District 1 that can repre-
sent the historic and proud New
Hampshire North Country and I
am a proud supporter of Dr.
Debi Warner, of Littleton, N.H.
Dr. Warner and her family have
called the North Country their
home for the last 23 years,
residing in Littleton. She is a
well-known psychologist in the
Littleton area, working with the
area youth, families, couples,
and individuals. Dr. Warner has
also been a proud advocate and
supporter for Littleton area
sports teams, as well as, creat-
ing her own radio show, entitled
Renovation Psychology:
Putting The Home Team To
Work. For two seasons, the
Dr. Debi show took questions
from Washington D.C. radio
stations all the way to WSTJ, in
Vermont, answering questions
on the subject of home renova-
tions and the importance of
solving those family group prob-
lems that can be so frustrating
to hurdle when undergoing a
full home renovation while rais-
ing a family.
Dr. Warner also has a great
wealth of knowledge as well as
personal dedication in main-
taining the North Countrys cul-
tural integrity. Her work on
what was known as the
Highland Croft project,
demonstrated her commitment
to preservation of the North
Countrys unique heritage. She
knows its importance to our
local people, as well as for eco-
nomic development in the
tourist industry; cultural preser-
vation in the form of museums
and the arts.
I encourage all North Country
citizens to vote for Dr. Debi
Warner on November 6, 2012.
Your vote is a vote for not only
strong leadership, but for true
representation of the people, by
the people, and for the people.
Thank you.
Jeffrey A. Richards
Littleton, NH
Given the large number of let-
ters supporting or opposing
candidates, I want to make this
one brief. I support the
Democratic candidate for NH
State Senate (District 2), Bob
Lamb, and I urge concerned NH
voters of all political persua-
sions to join me.
Here are some of the reasons I
oppose our current Senator,
Jeanie Forrester. 1) She has
been unwilling (afraid?) to par-
ticipate in any scheduled public
debate or forum with Bob Lamb,
so the voters can judge for
themselves who best supports
policies to move the state for-
ward. She has, however, found
the time to be a featured speaker
for the Tea Party in
Moultonborough (a town out-
side her Senate District) and
elsewhere. And she did show up
unannounced at one forum with
supporters to try to ambush
Bob Lamb. 2) She engaged in a
bait and switch, telling voters
she would concentrate on jobs
and the economy, and, instead,
switched to support legislation
backed by out-of-state right-
wing groups such as the
American Legislative Exchange
Council. The result was evident
in the survey done in July by the
CNBC business channel, which
dropped the rating for NHs
overall economy from 10th
place to 34th place
(http://www.cnbc.com/id/46415
307 ). 3) She voted to reduce
state funding for the University
System of NH by nearly 50%,
resulting in tuition increases. 4)
She voted for legislation which
will downshift about $114
million in state costs to towns
which will lead to higher local
property taxes and/or reduced
services.
By contrast, here are some of
the reasons I support Bob
Lamb: 1) Bob has a resume that
even Republicans should be
impressed by: graduate of West
Point, experience in financial
management and operations at
the highest levels (including
KPMG and FleetBoston, then
the seventh-largest bank hold-
ing company in the US). 2) He
will make decisions based on
facts, not on agendas of right-
wing special interest groups. 3)
Unlike the positions of
Forrester, he will support
affordable health care access
for seniors and oppose govern-
ment restrictions on womens
health care choices. 4) He
knows that for NH to have a
strong economy that attracts
new business, the state must
restore funding to NHs higher
education system.

Gary McCool

Inspiring Words for You!
THE STABILITY OF HIS STEADFAST LOVE.
Three times in Psalm 33 we are told about
Gods steadfast or unfailing love loving kind-
ness. When everything and everyone else bottoms
out, the psalmist assures us that the earth is full of
the steadfast love of the Lord. The eyes of the Lord,
he tells us, are on those who hope in his steadfast
love (v. 18). His prayer gets right to the point: Let
your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we
hope in you. Whatever else may happen in this
world, whoever else may turn their back on you
when the chips are down, of this you may be sure:
he whose trust and hope and confidence is in the
unfailing love of God will never be put to shame.
Thats what Psalm 33 is all about. It was written to
remind you and me that there is one refuge that is
impenetrable to disappointment and betrayal. You
may think youre all out of confidence, but what lit-
tle youve got left, invest in the unfailing love of an
undying God. Let God speak to your heart, beloved.
God love and bless you all.

Dear EarthTalk: The federal
government recently designated
the Connecticut River water-
shed as the nations first
National Blueway. What is a
National Blueway and does
such a designation come with
any funding for conservation or
other purposes?
-- Jackie Minor, via e-mail
In May 2012 the Obama admin-
istration did indeed designate
the Connecticut River and its
7.2 million-acre watershed as
the first segment of a new
National Blueways System, cre-
ated to help conserve natural
amenities and wildlife habitat
and to preserve or enhance
healthy recreational opportuni-
ties within significant river sys-
tems across the country.
The National Blueways pro-
gram is part of the larger
Americas Great Outdoors
Initiative created by the White
House to establish a communi-
ty-driven conservation and
recreation agenda for the 21st
century. Large blueways such as
the Connecticut River water-
shed are extremely important
not only as nurseries for biodi-
versity and filtration systems for
fresh water supplies, but also as
outdoor recreational outlets for
millions of all-too-cooped-up
Americans.
The Connecticut River water-
shed is a fitting first addition to
the National Blueways program
given its ecological, cultural and
recreational importance to mil-
lions of Americans along its
410-mile run from the peaks of
Vermont along the Canadian
border through New Hampshire
and Massachusetts to
Connecticut, where it empties
into the Atlantic Ocean. Some
2.4 million people across almost
400 communities live within the
Connecticut Rivers watershed.
The non-profit Trust for Public
Land estimates that 1.4 million
of those residents enjoy the
watersheds natural beauty and
wildlife and contribute upwards
of $1 billion dollars to local
economies accordingly each
year.
The Connecticut River
Watershed is a model for how
communities can integrate their
land and water stewardship
efforts with an emphasis on
source-to-sea watershed con-
servation, said Secretary of the
Interior Kenneth Salazar upon
announcing the new designa-
tion.
According to the U.S.
Department of Interior, the
National Blueway designation
differs from existing federal
designations for rivers (e.g.,
Wild and Scenic), which gener-
ally cover only a segment of a
river and a narrow band of the
riparian corridor. In contrast, a
National Blueway includes the
entire river from source to sea
as well as the rivers watershed.
A National Blueway designa-
tion doesnt establish any new
protections for the watersheds
in question, but it does open the
door to some federal support for
existing and/or new local and
regional conservation, recre-
ation and restoration projects. In
the case of the Connecticut
River, the new designation will
help by improving coordination
between local/regional planning
entities and federal agencies
such as the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The designation
should also mean more funding
for trail building and forest
restoration projects.
Its unclear yet when other U.S.
watersheds will be designated
under the Blueways program,
but there are certainly dozens if
not hundreds across the country
that could benefit from inclu-
sion.

Explorers After School Program at the Warren Village School
The Warren Village School recently kicked-off its new Explorers After School Program. The
Explorers program is newly funded by a federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.
This popular program is open to local Kindergarten-6th grade students and runs Monday-Friday
from 2:45pm-5:45 pm on full school days, following the SAU 23 school calendar. Over 40 local
students currently attend the program. Thanks to the federal funding, the cost of the program is
only $5/day per student and includes bus transportation home.
Through fun, hands-on, and experiential activities, the Explorers program seeks to improve stu-
dents academic achievement, especially in the areas of writing and science and to help students
develop improved problem solving skills. After snack and homework time, students participate in
a chosen enrichment activity each day. Enrichment activities last for four weeks and are led by the
programs dedicated and talented staff members and by a variety of local artists, teachers, and com-
munity leaders. Enrichment activities for the month of September include Engineering, Ceramics,
Warren History, Nature Exploration, Cooking, Art, Bookmarking, Gardening, and Teambuilding.
New enrichments for the month of October will include Wool Art, Amusement Ride Design,
Robotics, and Fish Ecology.
The Explorers program plans to add new and interesting activities each month and is looking for
terrific teachers who can share their knowledge of dance, music, theater, science, nature connec-
tion, and more with the students. If you are interested in learning more about the Explorers pro-
gram please contact Penny McKenna, Program Coordinator, or Mary Doyle, Program Director, at

Tuesday, October 30th at the
Mountain View Grand in
Whitefield, NH.
The days agenda will include
presentations by experts from
New Hampshire and Maine on
topics of interest to fruit and
vegetable growers. Crop
Specialist, Steve Johnson, will
discuss some of the challenging
disease issues faced by garlic
growers and how to manage and
prevent them. Entomologist,
Alan Eaton, will describe bene-
ficial insects common in NH

How do dentists confront the
professional quandary that is
Halloween? Delta Dental was
curious and found that
approaches vary depending on
the dentist.
Delta Dentals recent Tricky
Treats survey of more than 250
dentists found that nearly one
out of four dentists said they do
not hand out anything on
Halloween, while five percent
attack the holiday head on by
handing out toothbrushes.1
Still, 60 percent indicate that
they give out candy.
We have some professional
conflict with Halloween, but
dentists know that holiday
snacks are a fact of life, said
Dr. Bill Kohn, DDS, Delta
Dentals vice president for den-
tal science and policy. The
emphasis on candy at
Halloween makes it a particular-
ly good time to also stress good
oral health and how to limit the
damage of sugary snacks.
Of the dentists who hand out
candy, 79 percent choose choco-
late, while just 13 percent hand
out varieties like hard candy or
lollipops. And theres a good
reason for this confectionery
choice. When it comes to teeth
and sugar, its really a matter of
time. Chocolate dissolves
quickly in the mouth and can be
eaten easily, which decreases
the amount of time sugar stays
in contact with teeth. Tooth
decay occurs when candy and
other sweets mix with bacteria
in the sticky plaque that con-
stantly forms on teeth to pro-
duce acid, which can wear away
enamel. Chewy, sticky treats are
particularly damaging because
not only are they high in sugar,
but they spend a prolonged
amount of time stuck to teeth
and are more difficult for saliva
to break down. Hard candies are
tough on teeth as well because
kids tend to suck on them at a
leisurely pace for an extended
period of time.
Delta Dental offers these addi-
tional tricks for dealing with
Halloween treats:
Try to ensure children eat a
good, hearty meal prior to trick-
or-treating, so there will be less
temptation to gorge on candy.
Promote good oral health care
habits to your children year-
round by encouraging twice
daily brushing with fluoridated
toothpaste, daily flossing and
regular dental checkups.
Dont buy Halloween candy too
far in advance to avoid the
temptation for children (and
adults) to get a head start on the
splurge.
At the end of the night, its a
good idea to remove the sticky,
gummy and chewy choices
from your childs candy haul,
Dr. Kohn said. Limit the num-
ber of treats per day and rein-
force the need for good oral
hygiene. Before Halloween, ask
your dentist about sealants to
protect the decay-prone grooves
in your childs molar teeth.

tists give out at Halloween and

kids teeth healthy, please visit

Mrs. Avery and her third grade class from Bath Village School, Bath, NH went on a science
adventure to the Dells in Littleton recently, where the children found there was quite a bit to see
and learn during their Out of classroom journey. Please read story, this page.

A small school, a small class
affords BIG adventures for Mrs.
Averys 3rd grade class as they
investigated the Dells in
Littleton, NH on Friday,
October 5th. We were very
lucky the weather was beautiful,
but I dont think it would have
slowed these third graders
down. Armed with student log
books to remind them what to
look for on their hike, they
headed into the Dells on a mis-
sion.
They were in search of decidu-
ous trees, and were looking to
identify them by their leaves.
As their journey began they
stumbled into all sorts of inter-
esting discoveries. The min-
nows in the shallow water along
the edges of the banks
enthralled them, and they
searched for the crayfish that is
so plentiful in the Spring. The
children were free to explore the
area and were full of wonder
and excitement.
The 6 third graders took turns
pointing out various discoveries
they found. Some showing the
burrowed holes from the chip-
munks and red squirrels, others
finding the beaten paths the
wildlife travels to the water, and
others still finding the amazing
variations of mushrooms they
found frequently on and off the
path. They discussed the ani-
mals that might live in the holes
in the ground as well as the
holes in the trees, and the hows
and whys of how these holes
were made, and the effects it
would have on the trees them-
selves.
The children were amazed by
the wildlife they encountered
along the way, and we were all
thankful for not seeing other
certain wildlife too. We quietly
watched the geese and the mal-
lards on the water, until the
crows announced our presence.
The Blue Heron took heed of
the crows warnings and took to
flight in front of us. The chil-
dren and adults were all in awe
of its beauty in flight. There
were squirrels, caterpillars, min-
nows, and a dog for us to enjoy
on our hike. We also encoun-
tered a tiny snake, Im not sure
which the children were more
entertained by, the snake or Mrs.
Averys reaction to it.
It was a delightful journey for
all that took it. A natural beauty,
full of life and adventure; the
Dells were truly an incredible
adventure for this adult chaper-
one and Mrs. Averys third
grade class.
Railroad enthusiasts of all ages
will be gathering here October
27 when the Ammonoosuc
Valley Railway Association
(AVRA) hosts its 35th Annual
Fall Model Railroad Show at the
Profile School Profile Road
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This train show will feature a
number of operating modular
railroad layouts. The lineup will
include the AVRA 16x20 HO
modular railroad (first modular
layout in New England), and
some new displays as well.
Additionally, the host organiza-
tions HO scale exhibit will
again feature the virtual engi-
neer, which allows show atten-
dees to experience the thrill of
riding in the locomotives cab
through the magic of a minia-
ture color television camera
mounted inside the lead engine
of one of the operating model
trains. The video images are
viewable on a 19-inch color tel-
evision monitor that is part of
the layout. The virtual engineer
was designed and built by for-
mer AVRA member Bob Pierce
of Richmond, Vt., for the clubs
25th anniversary show in 2002.
Besides the various operating
layouts, the show will include
several dozen dealers with a
broad selection of model rail-
road locomotives, cars, and
accessories for sale. Other deal-
ers will be offering books, pho-
tographs and other railroad
memorabilia.
Also, one of AVRA's members,
Kenyon Karl, is into Computer
Virtual Model Railroading and
will be presenting the latest fad
in the world of model railroad-
ing.
AVRA officials add that well-
known Concord, N.H. artist
Cam Sargent, who specializes in
pencil-drawn images of New
England railroads, is also
expected to be on hand at the
Oct. 27 show.

Earnhardt Fed up
With Talladega
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won five
races at Talladega
Superspeedway. His father won
10. When a NASCAR driver
named Earnhardt says "enough
is enough," he deserves an air-
ing of his grievances.
The Good Sam Roadside
Assistance 500 ended with the
track strewn with as many
burnt-out vehicles as tanks left
smoldering at El Alamein.
This wasn't a battle, though. It
only resembled one. Everyone
walked away.
In the fourth turn of the final lap
-- which was one too many,
owing to overtime -- 25 cars
crashed, making Matt Kenseth's
victory elementary.
That crash left Earnhardt 20th in
the race and, more importantly,
11th among the 12 in the Chase
for the Sprint Cup. He is 51
points behind Brad Keselowski,
and since Talladega will host no
other races this fine autumn, the
odds of an Earnhardt champi-
onship are as long as the dis-
tance from Talladega to El
Alamein, which is in Egypt.
The ending was ridiculous, as
Earnhardt freely admitted.
"If this is what we did every
week, I wouldn't be doing it," he
said, exasperated. "I will just
put it to you like that. If this is
how we raced every week, I
would find another job.
"It's really not racing. I don't
know. It's a little disappointing
how that all went down. That
cost a lot of money right there.
If this is how we are going to
race, and that is how we are
going to continue to race and
nothing is going to change, I
think NASCAR should build
the cars. It would save us a lot of
money."
Someone attempted to rational-
ize the ... savagery on the basis
of the fans "loving it."
"Really?" replied Earnhardt.
"It's not safe. Wrecking like that
is ridiculous. It's bloodthirsty if
that's what people want. It's
ridiculous.
"I don't even want to go to
Daytona or Talladega next year,
but I ain't got much choice."

I have received several emails
with question this past two
weeks, I will answer them for
you in this weeks article.
Q: I know you are primarily a
PC man but you probably deal
with some Macs. I am trying not
to give up on my obsolete Mac
which is problematic. While the
computer is doing just fine, I do
have a need to print on occasion
and my old Epson Stylus Color
600 bit the dust. No one makes
a current printer for a Mac not
running OS X, so I cant buy a
new printer. I found an Epson
Stylus Color 800 on Ebay which
is compatible and bought it and
set it up, only to find it wont
print, only a blank page. I did
put in new ink cartridges but
still same problem. Can I clean
the print heads or what ever is
keeping the ink from flowing?
~ Joe
A: Good question, I have had
the same problem with an Epson
printer, the print head is built
into the carriage assembly not
like some printers when you buy
an ink cartridge the print head is
part of the cartridge. You can try
this, take a thick piece of paper
and soak it in rubbing alcohol,
put the paper into you paper tray
and try to print, the soaked
paper will clean the print head
as it passes over it. If you open
your control panel for the print-
er under the maintenance tab is
the option to clean the print
heads click on that and run it for
a couple cycles, keep in mind
when doing a print head clean-
ing it is using ink to clean the
heads so do not run it too often
or you will be purchasing new
ink cartridges.
Q: I have a Toshiba Satellite
computer running Windows XP
SP3. The computer is about 6
years old and contains 1 GB
Memory. A few weeks ago my
son opened the task manager
and remarked that the computer
is running only 29-32 processes
at a time. His computer is run-
ning 55-60 processes at one
time. He is a wanabe techie
and feels strongly that a com-
puter running fewer processes
will run faster than one running
more applications. Last week I
installed a program to fix it, the
utility seems to keep my com-
puter fairly clean of viruss and
spam and easily allows me to
defrag my hard drive and keep
my registry clean. I uninstalled
Norton for it takes to much time
to boot up. However when I
checked the task manager after
installing the upgrade, I found
that my computer is now run-
ning 58-60 processes at a time. I
do not understand what any of
these processes do and as such I
am uneasy about deleting the
new ones. ~ David
A: David your son is correct,
less processes running on a
computer the faster it will be,
here is what they could be. The
processors are likely programs
that you have installed onto the
computer that startup when you
turn on your computer and are
running in the background. A
good example is Yahoo
Messenger, AOL AIM, or
Kodak Easyshare, these pro-
gram take up allot of resources
and thus slows down your com-
puter considerably when start-
ing up. As you found out Norton
does slow your computer when
starting and by removing it you
noticed an increase in speed.
One way to check and turn off
programs you dont need run-
ning when you turn on your
computer is by running
MSCONFIG, built into
Windows you can run it but
going to Start/Run/MSCONFIG
and press ok, you want to go to
the startup tab, and uncheck any
program that you do not want to
startup when you turn your
computer on. If you removed
Norton go into Control
Panel/Add/Remove Programs
and uninstall Norton Live
Update that could be running
and is not always uninstalled
when you remove Norton.
Another program I recommend
that is like having MSCONFIG
on steroids is called Autoruns,
you can get that at http://tech-
net.microsoft.com/en-us/sysin-
ternals/bb963902.aspx.
Q: I tried to install AVG
Antivirus and as you suggested,
When installing it says I already
have an antivirus installed and
dont recommend installing
two. You mentioned it was not
ok to run more than one
antivirus, can you clear this up
for me. ~Kevin
A: I do not recommend running
more than one antivirus pro-
gram. When you get a flu shot a
dead version of the virus is
injected into you to battle the flu
virus, well an antivirus program
works basically the same way. A
dead version or definition of the
virus in installed in your
antivirus database on your com-
puter so if the virus should try to
get into your computer the
antivirus program will look at
its database or definition file
and if it sees a match or what
appears to be a match to that
virus it will block or delete it
from your computer. If you run
more than one antivirus pro-
gram one program may see the
definition file of the other and
may think it is a virus when it is
not, then they will cancel each
other out. I do recommend run-
ning more than one antispyware
program, this is where you may
be getting confused, and some
antispyware programs do not
run in the background watching
your computer. You need to
manually start them, and not all
antispyware programs will
catch all the bad guys. I run
about six programs to clean a
computer from spyware and
they are all free programs, dont
get hooked thinking that a store
bought version is better than a
free one it is not, and in several
cases I have found the free ones
will find what the store bought
ones dont. You can download
free antispyware programs by
going to my website and click
on download.
Well I hope this helps, and
please send me more questions
so I can share them with our
reader, you can email me at
paigecs@gmail.com, call 603-
747-2201, or visit my web site
where you can join our forum at

m. Also if you have a computer
and in need of a maintenance
agreement to keep it running I
have affordable plans avail-
able.So until next time, Happy
Computing!

Adventures

Weick
Roundups Genetic
Roulette and GMO
Food Labeling
Probably the most important
aspect of GMO (Genetically
Modified Organism) products is
being overlooked. Many of us
resist having our natural diversi-
ty of plants limited by chemical
companies, replacing heirloom
seeds with GMO seeds. But
theres a much more ominous
problem with GMO/Roundup
Ready seeds. The problem lies
with understanding the action of
the chemical glyphosate (trade-
name is Roundup) on plants and
on us.
Glyphosate is an herbicide that
knocks out the immune system
in all plants except the Roundup
Ready GMO plants. However,
since GMO crops are sprayed
with Roundup, GMO plants and
plant products also soak up
glyphosate. GMO plants will
mature and pass the pesticides
theyve soaked up from the soil
on to whoever eats GMO foods.
Recent studies of pregnant and
non-pregnant women in
Sherbrooke, Quebec found that
the women all carried pesticides
associated with GMO foods in
their blood. The pregnant
women also passed them on to
their fetuses. Studies are now
being conducted to document
the incidence of autism, can-
cers, and other diseases in peo-
ple who have absorbed high lev-
els of GMO foods. Because
glyphosate is an immune system
suppressor, it readily passes
across the placental barrier to
unborn children and may sup-
press the childs immune system
to ailments from the get-go.
Normally, our immune systems
have built in resistance to a mul-
titude of ailments. Some fami-
lies have less resistance to cer-
tain diseases but glyphosate
compromises any immune sys-
tem. While many of us resist
planting the GMO seed itself, of
possibly much more lethal
effect is the action of glyphosate
on our immune systems.
Seed saving farmers have grad-
ually developed seeds that gen-
erate a natural strong immunity
to pathogens that normally live
in the soil. These are the seeds
that producers of GMO seeds
are trying to eliminate and with
tragic results in India. There,
Roundup has ruined the soil and
destroyed many of the seeds that
had been developed over cen-
turies to provide India with
thousands of varieties of rice.
250,000 documented Indian
Farmers have committed sui-
cide as a result crop losses from
planting GMO seed and spray-
ing with Roundup. US and
Canadian farmers have also
been hard hit.
Just released, two year studies
in France on rats demonstrate
the problems that GMO seeds
and Roundup spawn. Rats usu-
ally live for 10 months 2
years. Most rat studies done by
chemical companies have only
been carried out over 90 days
(not a life span.) What French
researchers found was that after
3 months on GMO food, rats
became irritable, nervous, isola-
tive, combative, and began to
develop strange tumors. The
controls, those raised on non-
GMO food, were calm, well
developed, and healthy.
Of note, these studies were done
with the utmost security
because what they were learn-
ing was clearly a threat to GMO
corporations. The study was
published on line in September,
2012, in the peer-reviewed jour-
nal, Food and Chemical
Toxicology. Since then, agro-
chemical companies have been
busy trying to refute the studies,
calling the French researchers
incompetent and sighting hun-
dreds of 90 day studies to try to
disprove them, glossing over the
ugly outcomes. Significantly,
Russia has just suspended the
import of US GMO corn as a
result of these studies.
Time to check with our NH
farmers, put naturally grown
food by for winter, and insist on
our right to have GMO foods
labeled. California has it on
their November ballot in
Proposition 37. To better under-

Builders we must
learn to be
Neither Ryan nor I are mathe-
maticians. Neither are we car-
penters. We are a forester and a
farmer, an EMT and a writer,
teachers, stewards, hikers.
Building & construction are not
our preferred activities.
The work of cutting and joining
dimensional lumber to build the
hat for our home-to-be is a task
that has long loomed ahead of
us daunting given our lack of
experience. Just to keep things
interesting, Ill offer the
reminder that we live a third of
a mile from a paved road and
the nearest electric line. Power
equipment is not an option.
Hammer, nails, measuring tape,
square, level, and handsaw are
our available implements.
With these tools we built sills,
creating a level top to our walls
of stacked logs: logs that offered
beauty, but certainly not easy
geometry. The sills seemed
easy, however, compared to the
task of building trusses. We did
enjoy a frontcountry excursion
for the purpose of laying out
lumber in the sloped driveway
of a friend and making use of
the rapidity of her circular saw.
In this manner the first set of
rafters were trialed late in the
afternoon under gray skies and
an impending dinner hour.
Hunger and tiredness yielded
poor results. Somehow the peak
was noticeably off center!
All reasonable thought pointed
to stopping before we did more
damage. Hot food and deep
sleep had to yield a more
encouraging outcome.
The next day we also referenced
a book. Surprise, this proved to
be helpful. Before the morning
was out, rafters for our 9-pitch
roof were cut and loaded onto
the truck. Back at Cosauke,
we carried the lumber to our
building site, excited for the
next phase.
That was Monday. By
Wednesday we were back at it;
thickly clouded skies turned to a
steady mist as we set to work.
We developed our rhythm over
the course of the morning
assembling rafters, joists, and
crossties into eight trusses.
Thank goodness our little house
(16 x 18) is no larger! Ryan
nailed, while I measured, cut as
needed, and was all-around
gopher.
The most encouraging part it
worked! Except for twice. In
both cases, we were able to find
errors in our angles, and thank-
fully, correct our previous cuts
without much frustration. With
one truss up on the sills, we took
lunch. It hadnt stopped misting
(which was more like rain by
mid-day), and hot food was
much appreciated.
At this point I must introduce
my parents, Bob and Maria.
They live on the other side of
our hill, and are the faithful fans
and chief supporters of our
building efforts. We are so
grateful for their abundant
offers of (delicious) food,
encouragement, and advice.
Including, on this particular day,
the pick-up of extra lumber, the
contribution of tools to our
cache, muscle, laughter, and
importantly a hot meal.
Which was consumed rapidly,
staving off the rains chill. Our
break was short, however, as
our attention quickly returned to
raising the remaining trusses. It
was a slow, steady, and grunt-
filled process.
By 6 oclock that evening, as
the light began to fade and the
steady rain ceased, we climbed
down from the skeleton wed
assembled, clothes soaked
through to our skin, hands like
prunes, tiredness mellowing our
elation. Our daydreams and
imaginings had been given
form.
