Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre To Be Put On By The Warren Players_____________
Many Goals Exceeded On The 4th Annual
Sunrise Ascent On Mount Washington_____
Murder Mystery Dinner
Theater
Saturday, November 16th at
6:00pm at the
Warren Village School
Return to the Golden age of the
1940's and the famous night
club Chez Mort which was the
scene of an unusual crime. As
newspapers of the day reported:
"Ingnue 'Sweet Sue'
Blutowsky was mysteriously
and fatally cut short during her
debut singing performance.
Journey back in time and join
the good inspector Constantine
on that fateful evening and find
out who the culprit is for your-
self.
Our actors are Warren Village
School staff members!
A four-course dinner will be
served throughout the show.
Due to the content of the show,
no one under the age of 13 will
be admitted.
Reservations are required in
order to prepare an accurate
amount of dinners. THERE
ARE A LIMITED NUMBER
OF TICKETS!
Please return reservations and
payment ASAP to:
Warren Village School
Attention: Amber Kingsbury
11 School Street
Warren NH, 03279
Reservations are $15 per per-
son. Checks payable to: Warren
Village School.
Pamela and Dave Smith of
Bethlehem have a very big rea-
son to smile. The final tallies
are in and the fourth annual
Sunrise Ascent on Mt.
Washington raised over
$67,800 under their direction
and leadership. This money
will be help fund the Adaptive
Sports Partners of the North
Country with their mission to
ensure the enrichment of the
quality of life for people with
disabilities.
According to Sandy Olney,
executive director of this not for
profit agency, the monies raised
exceeded all expectations.
And the event was the largest
ascent weve held, she added.
The August 4 event included
seven adaptive athletes from
New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Minnesota.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith credits the
following area businesses for
helping to sponsor this major
fund raising event: Paramount
Electric, the Alpine Clinic,
Franconia Gas, Garnet Hill,
Minute Man Medical, Franconia
Notch Vacation Rentals &
Realty, Beautiful Visions
Window Cleaning, VanDesign,
Great Glen Trails, and the
Mount Washington Auto Road.
Also participating in this inspir-
ing hike were 41 Roadrunners,
14 Bottom-side Brunch Bunch
and 106 Mules. The Mules par-
ticipated in the 7.8-mile hike
with the adaptive athletes and
the Roadrunners aided in trans-
porting the athletes and their
specialized equipment back to
base of the mountain following
the trek.
The ASPNC, which is located in
Franconia, is dedicated to pro-
viding a year-round series of
activities for adaptive athletes
of all ages. In addition to hik-
ing, snow shoeing, skiing, and
snowboarding, the ASPNC has
put together a roster of upcom-
ing programs.
Power (wheelchair) Soccer has
returned to the North Country as
an adaptive sport. The North
Country Storm, a team of adap-
tive athletes, has already begun
eight weeks of practice and
competition. Interested players
and volunteers can help with the
activity on Sundays from 3 to 5
p.m. at the Profile School, 691
Profile Road, Bethlehem.

Wentworth Students Attend 38th
Highland Games and Festival
Students in grades 5, 6, & 7 once again headed to Lincoln, NH for
the Scottish Highland Games and Festival. Pat Good, School
Program Coordinator of the Games, was excited to extend this
invitation to Wentworth Elementary stating, The students from
WES are always respectful, and participate fully in the school pro-
gram. Its nice to have them with us each year.
Principal, Keith Charpentier was thrilled to be invited back saying,
This event and celebration is an extraordinary opportunity for our
students to be exposed to Scottish Culture.
The New Hampshire Highland Games, established in 1975, are
recognized as one of the finest Scottish cultural festivals in the
world. Gaelic and Celtic culture is celebrated over 3 days with
competitions ranging from piping and drumming, heavyweight
athletes, and dancing as well as music from the Highlands. The
organizers of the event have added a demonstration/encampment
of Scottish military, which explains the role the military played
over the centuries not just at home, but around the world. Gabriel
Crane, a fifth grader, said It was real neat to see how the uniforms
and weapons changed over time, and I liked trying on the Chain
Mail.
Principal Charpentier suggests, If your school has not had the
opportunity to attend this cultural event, I would strongly recom-
mend you make contact with Pat Good, School Program
Coordinator, and visit next year.

Northcountry News Picture Of The Week
Although from down the southern part of the state, this one is
worth showing! New Hampshires reigning family of giant
pumpkins has done it again, topping the Deerfield Fair weigh-
off with a 1,441 12-pound monster a pumpkin heavier than
most cows. The winner was grown by the Geddes family, of
Boscowen, who last year won with a 1,843-pound pumpkin
that broke the official world record. Slice that up and make
some pie!!!
If you have a photo which you think could make it as our pic-
ture of the week, let us know. Email it to

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,
this girl is a far better person
than I am (I still have two peo-
ple I cant/wont forgive [and
for much less offense]). A girl
who had been whipped with
electrical cords, burned with an
iron, stapled in the ear, thrown
down the stairs and kicked in
the stomach to the point of near
death stood up in a courtroom
and forgave the woman who
was convicted of doing all that
to her. Ive moved on from the
past and look forward to the
future, the girl told Duewa
Abeana Lee, her fathers
fiance, who was convicted of
torture and 10 other felony
counts for the abuses that took
place over a two-month period
in 2011. I now live with people
that love me and have made me
to the point where I can forgive
you, but I will never forget the
things you did to me.
[www.sacbee.com]
Next, maybe I am getting old,
but there are limits!
Performance artists Doug
Melnyk and Ian Mozdzen pre-
sented their controversial show
at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival
this summer. (Wrote one
reviewer: What I saw (on the
stage) were not one, not two, but
three mayonnaise enemas. (I) do
not need to see any more may-
onnaise enemas for the rest of
my lifetime.) Explained
Melnyk, to a Canadian
Broadcasting Corp. reporter, if
all youre trying to do is figure
out what people want and you
make it for them; thats not art.
... (Y)oure just a shoemaker.
[Canadian Broadcasting Corp]
Finally, the village of Homer
Glen, Ill., has ruled that beauty
salons may be licensed to serve
alcoholic beverages to cus-
tomers. The new category of
beauty salon and spa liquor
license mandates that booze
has to be part of a paid-for
package that includes some
sort of beauty treatment, which
will keep salons from just being
a bar. [Chicago Tribune] Just
think how pretty all the girls
will be at closing time....
Okay, this is weird (regular
readers will understand). A few
weeks ago, I walked into the
post office and a man next to me
says, Done any dishes lately?
I must have had a puzzled
expression when he added, I
read your column too. The
light went on. So, it looks like I
have at least two readers! Woo-
hoo!
From my friend John, a couple
of Bits he thought wed enjoy:
(1) I am not sure what it is, but
the Meredith American Legion
held something called Meat
Bingo. Maybe its like a regular
bingo, but people cover their
numbers with hamburger patties
(not to be confused with Cow
Patty Bingo). (2) A microcosmic
sign of the times? A letter to the
editor bemoaned the degrada-
tion of the American society as
evidenced by the noise level and
amount of talking in an area
library. Seriously, the writer
dates himself recalling a time
when people respected and were
concerned for others. I date
myself by remembering as well.
From Facebook: What a great
story! Pfc. Colton Romney, who
is stationed in Afghanistan, got
to see the birth of his twins
thanks to a nurse holding a cell
phone and Skype. Yeah, a great
story, but just between us, I
think an even greater story
would be if he were actually
here at home to be with his wife
(and new family) instead of in
Afghanistan (where after, what,
13 years [Americas longest
war] we are making progress.
As a matter of fact, every hour,
taxpayers in the United States
have been paying $10.45 mil-
lion for the war in Afghanistan
since 2001.)
So, anyone have constipation,
gas, diarrhea, bloating? Gotta
love that ad... (even if I dont).
Those, by the way, are the listed
side effects if you keep reading
this column.
There was a TV ad for upcom-
ing MMA fights. Sounded inter-
esting until I heard it was Pay-
Per-View. I thought thats what
cable was I pay; I view. Hey, I
gotta idea.... sign up for
Bermans Bits. I will give you a
couple each week for a fee, but
if you want the really better
ones, you can sign up and pay
extra for Pay-Per-View. Sound
good?
I turned on the TV and there was
Friday the 13
th
: The Final
Chapter. Okay, and when that
was over, next was Friday the
13
th
: A New Beginning. So
much for finality. As a matter of
fact, after the FINAL chapter,
there were seven more Jason
movies. Just sayin.
Finally, I am in a bit of a
quandary here. As I suggested in
previous weeks, Sadie Bullock
still occupies some of my
thoughts, but nowhere as obses-
sively as before. Anyhow, when
I was recently out picking the
pasture, I had lots of time to
think. At the least, I want to
clear my name. There are peo-
ple who heard me get ordered
off her property, but they dont
know why. I am finishing up a
piece of writing called Who
Else is Sadie Bullock? In it, I
explain what happened and why
(the story goes back 25 years).
What I am struggling with is
will I be doing the same thing to
her she has done to me twice
(public humiliation)? Will that
make me like her (G-d forbid)?
Later.

Atticus surveys Pinkham Notch from a rocky

A missing toe. Two broken
ears. Eyes that see little more
than shapes and shadows. Bad
hips. A chemotherapy needle.
All things to be grateful for, at
least in our world.
Ive come to believe that wher-
ever we are, whatever we are
facing we are right where we
are supposed to be. Theres no
controlling outside influences
but what we can do is decide
how we want to see them.
When fifteen year old Will was
discarded with his bad hips,
eyes, and ears at a kill shelter
his life must have seemed over
to him. The only family hed
ever known let him down.
Rumor has it they grew too old
to take care of him, but when he
arrived in our lives my first
thought was they must have
been too old to take care of him
from day one because he was in
such sorry shape and pain. On
the first day Atticus and I took
him in, he bit me several times.
Hed keep this up for a couple
of months. Always growling.
Always snarling.
Early in the summer Atticus was
struggling with a toe injury. We
though he caught his nail on
something and it ripped away
from the nail bed. Two weeks
passed, the toe worsened, even-
tually it abscessed. We moved
quickly and it was amputated.
Biopsy results showed cancer,
but it looked as though we had it
all. Later tests revealed it had
been moving so rapidly we took
a proactive stance and started
chemotherapy, with the idea that
its easier to fight cancer cells
when they are just forming than
playing catch up with one of
lifes greatest thieves.
Will hadnt been here long
before I notice that with all his
faulty senses, he loved smelling
the wildflowers in our yard. So
I started to court him. Once a
week I bought him flowers.
Hes sniff them again and again.
Occasionally Id put them next
to his head for when he woke
up, hed inhale, seemed to sigh,
and often time lay his head back
on them and went back to sleep.
When I told this story on our
blog and Following Atticus
Facebook page a most unusual
thing happened. A once-dis-
carded, broken, and angry dog
started receiving flowers from
all around the world! In the past
several months more than a hun-
dred bouquets have come in for
him from people hes never met
but have read his story.
The day we decided to amputate
Atticuss toe, the phone at North
Country Animal Hospital start-
ed ringing after I wrote about
what was going on. A day later
more than $2,000 had come in
from donations once again
from all over the world.
Strangely, as Will gets older and
older, and closer to death, hes
more content than ever.
Strangely, when Atticuss can-
cer arrived it, I spent a few min-
utes to break down, then I
became strong again, as you do
for a good friend, and the
strength between us grew just as
it had in all those winter peaks
we climbed together in both the
best and worst of conditions.
Wed been challenged before.
We had this, no matter the out-
come. We were right where we
belonged. Most importantly we
were togethercome what may.
All of his had me thinking of
nothing but how fortunate we all
are together. Sure, Atticus and I
had been kept off the trails for
months and away from what we
love and why we are here. And
Will, I imagine, will soon be
gone, now that hes become a
love. And yet I found myself
smiling through most of it. For
I kept counting my blessings.
Two good souls and the support
of thousands of people, most of
whom wed never met. The
mountains were our own to
climb, but we did it with a safe-
ty net of kindness, prayers, and
the most powerful love Ive ever
witnessed.
How do you say thank you to
something like that? I decided
to give them the one thing we
most appreciate in life, the one
gift we cherish more than any
other. So it was announced that
Atticus and I, famed for hiking
on our own accept for rare occa-
sions, would take twelve
Facebook followers with us on a
hike. We figured wed get fifty
requests to join us on a climb to
a mountain. Within three days
we received nearly 1,500
requests to follow Atticus up a
mountain. So instead of a
dozen, we decided on twenty-
three people from all around the
country.
They started arriving in our
hometown of Jackson today.
California, Texas, Louisiana,
North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana,
Rhode Island, Maine,
Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, and Maine will be
represented on what were call-
ing the Following Atticus
Gratitude Hike. These individu-
als, the vast majority of, we
have never met even in passing,
will do something we dont
even do with our friends.
Theyll hike with us and well
share with them the glory of
New Hampshires stunning
White Mountains. Most of
them are not hikers, but thats
okay. We werent hikers at one
point either.
These are twenty-three very dif-
ferent folks. A few couples are
in the mix, one father and
daughter team, one mother and
daughter together, but twenty-
three individuals. What they
have in common is that theyve
been following a little black and
white dog over mountains,
down into valleys, into the
brightest of lights and into the
darkest of times. Theyve also
fallen for broken down Will.
Some see him as their personal
hero. Ive heard from several:
If Will can survive all hes
been through, I can survive
what Im barely enduring.
Atticus is doing well half way
through his chemotherapy.
Will, although faltering here and
there, is doing well in the last
chapter of his life. That brings
us to me. And heres how I feel.
Im grateful. Grateful for what
the three of us share in good and
tough times. I wake up saying
prayers expressing that grati-
tude and every day is
Thanksgiving. Im grateful that
we are together and where we
are supposed to be. Im grateful
we have started hiking again on
the better days, albeit it short
hikes. Im grateful that people
care enough about Atticus and
Will to send flowers and cards
and handmade quilts. And Im
grateful that Atticus, Will, and I
are all where we are supposed to
be.
On Saturday morning well
have breakfast with this crew
and after we drop Will off with
a dear friend for a day of care
and comfort, the rest of us will
head to a mountain and Atticus
and I will show our thanks on
the summit as we always have.
But this time well also be
thanking twenty-three people
who represent thousands upon
thousands of others who care
and invest their hearts and souls
in us.
Today was we were driving
down the road from our house,
just two miles away, I found it
fitting that we were driving by
Storyland, as we do every day.
For life is indeed a fairytale, if
only we choose to see it.
In a dysfunctional world where
bombs kill people in the name
of God, where those who are
supposed to represent us in gov-
ernment make fools of them-
selves and glorify their own
egos, where broken people kill
school children or employees at
shipyards, where we pollute and
smother the air and water and
earth we need to live, I count
my blessings. Among them are
the following. A missing toe.
Two broken ears. Eyes that see
little more than shapes and
shadows. Bad hips. A
chemotherapy needle. And two
special little dogs with great
souls.

Hello friends of nature and wel-
come to this weeks edition of
Nature Tracks...
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 (2012), the Hunt for
the Hungry program took in
1,700 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 fill a big need for
the Hunt for the Hungry pro-
gram. Venison is especially pop-
ular, a real treat for clients. Last
year, we got some moose meat,
and as soon as it came in, out it
went! As always, we want to
thank New Hampshire hunters
and Lemay's for their continued
support."
"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."
For more information on donat-
ing to the New Hampshire Food
Bank, visit http://www.nhfood-
bank.org.
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.
For information on hunting in
New Hampshire or to purchase
a hunting license, visit

"If you talk to the animals, they
will talk with you and you will
know each other. If you do not
talk to them you will not know
them, and what you do not know,
you will fear. What one fears, one
destroys..."

Letter To The Editor_______________________________________
Letter To The Editor___________________
Nobody Asked, Just My Opinion________
Another couple of weeks
already! Time does fly. Maybe a
bit too fast!
Just a couple of things this
week. First, I would like to say
goodbye to wonderful person
who recently passed.
There are many good people,
friends and family members
who pass on in our lives. In fact,
it happens regularly, but there
are those who make wonderful
impressions and footprints
along the way, touching each of
us while on their own journey
through life.
Warren resident, Tony Kelley
was one of these people. At 70
years old, he enriched all who
happened by him. He always
made it a point to smile, to
wave, and to bring those around
him a bit of joy. Tony worked
part time at the Burning Bush
Home Center in Warren, after
retiring and moving to the area
years ago. He was also a veter-
an.
Tony had a heart of gold and
was always willing to share it.
He rescued a number of Golden
Retrievers over the years, and
could regularly be seen walking
two or three of them at any
given time in the area.
There are just some people that
we meet in our lives, that touch
it a little different than others.
Tony was one of those people.
He will be sorely missed by
those who knew him. Rest in
Peace Mr. Kelley. Thank you for
the laughs, the smiles and the
memories.
The other thing I just wanted to
briefly touch upon this week, are
those television commercials
they show during dinner time
and prime time. Why is it every
time our daughter is in front of
the television, watching a good
show, they have to put commer-
cials for Viagra or the Humane
Society on. I mean, I can hardly
watch the Humane Society com-
mercials, but for children to be
seeing it, I feel, is a bit much.
I know it's about the impact,
etc... But many times I am won-
dering how kids with animals
feel about it, and how it affects
them. I know our daughter, like
us, usually will turn away, mute
the tv, or just shut it off.
And, tell me why I should have
to explain what Viagra is to a
child who is in fifth grade! I
think the major networks could
do a bit better job when it comes
to age groups and times.
Thankfully, we don't watch
much tv, but it seems every time
it is on, they are promoting
drugs. Of course the side effects
are seemingly much worse than
how they help fix the ailment!
But thats for another column
We'll see you in another couple
of weeks, until then, enjoy the
people in your lives, be safe and
be well.

To The Editor______
Haverhill Corner
Library News______
The Hundred Years of War
You may be trying to remember
what you learned about The
100 Years War between France
and England from 1337-1453
(actually 116yrs), but notice
that the title of this letter
includes the preposition of.
So what is 100 years of war?
The USA has had unending
wars dating for over a 100
years! Thats right...weve been
sacrificing lives of US citizens
often under a guise of liberty or
security for over 100 years. In
fact nearly 2 million individuals
have been killed, wounded or
are MIA as a consequence of
those wars. And while they
would bring, as we were told,
the means to a world at peace
the proverbial beat goes on.
Currently we are beating the
drums of war about some
Syrians, or is it the rebels [we
hear both sides accused almost
each day] having used Saran
gas on the general population
killing over 1000 people...many
of the children. Innocent
children how horrible; what
an argument for action!
Someone must pay!
Innocent children are being
killed by the use of chemical
weapons! Having grown up
playing war post WW2 and
then Korea Ive lost any inter-
est in seeing more lives sacri-
ficed for merely political or
monetary purposes while sup-
posedly protecting our liberty
and families.
Did you know that IBM helped
set up computer systems used by
the Nazis to segregate the
Jewish population prior to our
entry in WW2? Or that the Ford
Motor Company made countless
numbers of vehicles used by
Germanys war efforts in
Europe? And Im sure that there
were other businesses doing the
same.
Well, how about the controver-
sial chemical warfare on
children right here in the USA
where in just over 40 years 50
million innocent children, sup-
posedly kept safe from war have
been a targeted population in
their killing and destruction in
the womb of their mothers?
How do we not cry out about
these innocent childrens
deaths? Someone must pay?
Call it a fetus or a baby some
living thing is being killed in the
womb by use of chemicals, and
then torn apart to remove
it...and its determined by law
that this is the permissible right
of the mother [What is the moth-
er of a fetus anyway?] I guess
chemical warfare on innocent
children in this nation just isnt
that important when put next to
the exercise of a womans right
to choose. Ironic lie isnt it? But
hey, were not as uncivilized as
those rascals in Syria are we?

Good news!
Cleo, a wheaten terrier has
been FOUND! Missing since
9/11/13, in the Bradford, VT
area, she showed up on 9/22/13
on a neighbor's back porch.
She is healthy, but had a couple
broken toes. Thank you ...to
EVERYONE for all your sup-
port and help!
Neighbors brought her to their
home just down the road from
where Cleo showed up, while
her owners, John and Judy
drove back from Long Island to
reunite with her.
Cleo was covered in stinky muck
which Nancy cleaned off her a
few times, and did the same for
the interior of her car, too!
Thank you to Jocelyn who was
ready to take up the search
while the owners had to drive
back home.
Thank you to Carol & Donn for
giving them a place to stay
while searching. An amazing
group of people were met all
over the Bradford area, while
looking for Cleo.
Thank You to All!

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, I'd like to share this
prayer with you, and ask you to make it one
of your own. Let peace start with each one of
us personally. Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi,
Lord make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is
doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light. And where
there is sadness, joy. O divine master grant
that I may not so much seek to be consoled as
to console; to be understood as to
understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in
giving that we receive- it is in pardoning that
we are pardoned. And it's in dying that we are
born to eternal life.Beautiful words.God bless
each and everyone of you.

There has been considerable talk of how dangerous synthetic
sugar substitutes may be for our health, but little evidence of
harm has actually come forth and their environmental impacts
may be more reason for concern. Credit: abbyladybug, cour-
tesy Flickr
Dear EarthTalk: I saw an arti-
cle on sugars effects on the
environment. Has anyone com-
pared different sweeteners (arti-
ficial or natural) for their envi-
ronmental impacts?
-- Terri Oelrich, via e-mail
The production of sugar has
indeed taken a huge environ-
mental toll. Sugar has arguably
had as great an impact on the
environment as any other agri-
cultural commodity, reports the
World Wildlife Fund (WWF),
citing biodiversity loss as a
result of the wholesale conver-
sion of habitat on tropical
islands and on coastal areas to
grow sugar. WWF adds that the
cultivation of sugar has also
resulted in considerable soil
erosion and degradation and the
use of large amounts of chemi-
cals across the tropics and
beyond.
Some natural food markets now
carry sustainably harvested
sugar that does not fit this pro-
file, though sugars ugly history
has led many eco-conscious
consumers to look elsewhere to
satiate their sweet teeth.
Fortunately there are several
natural and artificial options
that are safe to eat and relatively
benign for the environment.
Perhaps the most popular choice
is stevia, a sustainably harvested
herb from Latin America that is
30 times sweeter than table
sugar but without calories.
Other natural alternatives
include coconut palm sugar,
barley malt syrup, brown rice
syrup, agave nectar, maple
syrup and raw honey. These
choices may not save on calo-
ries like stevia, but they do
sweeten without environmental
guilt.
As for synthetic sugar alterna-
tives, there has been consider-
able talk of how dangerous they
may be for our health, but little
evidence of harm has actually
come forth and their environ-
mental impacts may be more
reason for concern. Aspartame,
for example, used in Equal and
also in diet sodas, is made by
fermenting corn and soy, the
two biggest genetically engi-
neered crops in the U.S.
Environmentalists are con-
cerned that such tinkering with
nature could have unexpected
and potentially disastrous
results down the road.
Another common sugar alterna-
tive, sucralose (trade name
Splenda) has its issues, too. A
study released in 2013 by
researchers from the University
of North Carolina (UNC) found
that the majority of Splenda
used around the world ends up
in the Gulf Stream, the fast-
moving ocean current that starts
in the Gulf of Mexico and flows
into the Atlantic Ocean and
beyond into the coastal waters
of Europe and Africa.
Sucralose cannot be effectively
broken down by the bacteria in
the human digestive tract,
reports UNC. As a result, the
body absorbs little or no calories
and 90 percent of the chemical
compound leaves the body
through human waste and enters
sewage systems. Since this
sucralose cannot be broken
down by most water treatment
systems, it ends up in the
oceans, where the long-term
effects remain unknown.
Saccharin (trade name SweetN
Low) got a bad rap in the 1970s
when rats exposed to large
amounts got bladder cancer, but
it has since been vindicated: The
Food & Drug Administration
removed warning labels in 2000
and the Environmental
Protection Agency removed it
from its lists of hazardous con-
stituents and commercial chem-
ical products in 2010.
Nonetheless, saccharin can
cause problems for pregnant
women and infants who con-
sume large amounts, and also
gets a veto as a petroleum deriv-
ative.

Bath Library News_____________________
The Bath Library Book Club
will be discussing Olive
Kitteridge by Elizabeth Stout
on Thursday, November 14th at
6 pm at the Bath Public Library.
At times stern, at other times
patient, at times perceptive, at
other times in sad denial, Olive
Kitteridge, a retired school-
teacher, deplores the change in
her little town and in the world
at large, but she doesnt always
recognize the changes in those
around her: a former student
who has lost the will to live;
Olives own adult child, who
feels tyrannized by her irra-
tional sensitivities; and her hus-
band, Henry, who finds his loy-
alty to his marriage both a bless-
ing and a curse.
Books may be picked up at the
Bath Library; hours are
Tuesdays and Thursdays
9:00am to noon and 1:00pm to
6:00pm and Saturdays 9:00am
to noon.
Anyone with an interest in read-
ing and conversing about books
is welcome to attend.

Diversity, Dirt Quality,
Health Quality
= Same Thing
Civilizations come and go,
come and go. The quality of dirt
has always been a huge factor
whether were talking about the
Irish Potato Famine or the US
Tobacco monoculture that led to
soil depletion and the practice of
constantly moving westward,
buying up new lands to deplete,
rather than amending soil with
manure. Thomas Jefferson was
quoted as saying, We can buy
an acre of new land cheaper
than we can manure an old
one.
Today, theres no west left to
move to and whats left is being
steadily destroyed by Roundup
Ready monoculture farming.
Such farming not only depletes
soil of enriching diversity but is
developing and spreading
Fusarium Blight in wheat and
Sudden Death in soya. Soil
borne pathogens are developing
in response to glyphosate
(Roundup). We now have the
potential to experience a mas-
sive Roundup Famine the world
over, not just in the US.
We either learn from past civi-
lizations or just add ourselves to
another geological layer to be
studied in years to come. We
can decide whether our species
remains or is fossil fodder.
Geologist, David
Montgomerys book, Dirt: The
erosion of civilizations, gives us
a detailed update. Also see
Brian Fagans book, The Great
Warming: Climate change and
the rise and fall of civilizations.
The Irish Potato Famine was the
result of lack of diversity. Peru
has thousands of varieties of
potato. Ireland had only import-
ed four of them so it was simply
a matter of time for blight to
develop.
Today, managing healthy dirt is
even more crucial as weve
reached the limit of arable land
and cannot afford to turn any
more of our forests into farm-
land if we want enough water to
keep people and soil irrigated.
In NH, we take our forests for
granted. Only 37% of the forests
that were here when the settlers
arrived remain. We need to sit
up and take notice if we want to
assure our great-grandchildrens
survival.
Forests mean stored WATER
which is predicted to be the sub-
ject of future wars unless we can
conserve it so there is enough to
go around. Corporations are
already moving to strip towns of
their water by setting up bottling
companies, then brainwashing
and deluding people into think-
ing that bottled is the only safe
water to drink - and its pricey.
Today, wind farms, whose
future in NHs 6 mph winds
assures us that the only people
benefitting in the long run will
be the corporations selling the
towers and the power compa-
nies selling power at increasing-
ly exorbitant future rates.
As land continues to be gutted
to make way for towers of any
kind, more of our forest land
begins to erode and more of our
forest diversity is being lost.
More species become extinct.
Those of us with farming roots
know the value of well com-
posted soil. As people become
disconnected from those roots,
Roundup and the use of herbi-
cides and pesticides instead of
manures will continue to
replace healthy farming prac-
tices.
Civilization sagas have always
been about money for a few
people at the expense of the
many. How many scenarios do
we need to witness before we
act? The earliest known agricul-
tural people lived between Iraq
and Iran around 1,000-9,000
BCE. Class distinctions arose
once everyone no longer had to
work the fields in order to eat.
As ever, we have a choice. We
can throw up our hands and
resign our futures to corporate
takeovers. Or we can take an
innovative leaf from our
Nebraska neighbors who are
raising a solar barn in the imme-
diate path of the proposed
pipeline that threatens both soil
and water. Or a leaf from the
Barnstead folks who stopped a
bottling company from draining
their aquifer. We can view the
film, Northern Trespass, to
update ourselves on the pro-
posed NP current status and
what it means for NH. (Theatre
Schedule at
northerntrespass.com.)
Closer to home, we can save
and recycle our own compost
around our homes and see for
ourselves the diversity that
develops in our soil. Caring for
our own plot raises our con-
sciousness and wakes up cre-
ative thoughts about how we
can care for the rest of the envi-
ronment. Fagan encourages us
to think of ourselves as part-
ners with rather than potential
masters of the changing natural
world around us.

Letters
An old wooden box atop my
small bureau, passed down from
my parents, holds my latest
reading stack, calendar, to-do
list, garden maps, and the like.
It also holds my incoming mail,
a corner dedicated to all corre-
spondence received and not yet
responded to. Sometimes they
sit for a few days, sometimes a
few weeks: it depends on the
sender, the urgency of their
thoughts and mine, and the
length of the to-do list filed
alongside the stack of
envelopes.
Writing letters is a conscious
choice, a statement of intent and
care, a mindful means of com-
munication with friends and
acquaintances. Letters, to me,
are about pace, about technolo-
gy, about expression: that is, a
pace of communication that
mirrors the care I have for the
relationships I maintain through
written word. Emails and phone
calls are quick, and in that man-
ner convenient. But communi-
cation and relationships essen-
tial components of the human
experience are not things I
want to shunt to the corners of
my day nor hustle into a few
minutes here and there.
Communicating and relating are
actions which flourish through
precise and compassionate lan-
guage, and deserve a medium
that allows intentional, person-
ally-crafted expression. Letters,
I have found, achieve this won-
derfully.
By extension, letters reflect the
lifestyle choices I, and Ryan,
have pursued. Indeed, my let-
ters, created by the flickers of
my heart and mind, firing
through my fingertips to the pen
and then to paper, are equally as
grounded in place as I, the
writer, am. It is the rare letter
that does not contain clues of
the season, a vignette of the
windows view, or a description
of the garden or the latest proj-
ect. Whatever the personal con-
tents of a given letter, my
thoughts are grounded in our
homestead. As such, letters
often become a means to
expound upon our lifestyle, our
choices, and to share our experi-
ences and skills. Letters, for
both the writer and the receiver,
are a reflection on purpose,
engagement, and fulfillment.
At times, the mailbox brings
questions from those seeking
advice or guidance. From coun-
seling to skill-sharing to encour-
agement offered to strangers, I
gladly write. Letters, though,
are not answered lightly.
Rather, they enter the conversa-
tions between Ryan and I, shape
our musings, influence our lan-
guage, and nuance our descrip-
tion of our own lives.
Ultimately, were figuring it all
out as we go this goes for hard
skills as well as the mental,
emotional, and spiritual
processes of life. It is not right-
ness that directs us, nor a com-
plete set of knowledge and
this I always try to emphasize.
Be it individual choices or deci-
sions as a couple, learning skills
or designing the landscape,
accomplishing a project or set-
ting out on a new endeavor, it is
compassion and intention that
guide us. We have no answers
for the unknown, and are
increasingly comfortable with
this. Creating the future, we
reflect on the past while engag-
ing in the present.
Through it all, it strikes me that
what the world needs is not
more answers, but more beauty,
more love, more joy. And so we
pursue this in the ways that we
know best through our hands
and skillful labor, with attention
and observation, compassion,
and living with grace in place of
fear. For me, letters are my art
that do just that.
