Incessantly scouring the uni-
verse (and my back yard) for
the weird, the wacky, and the
thoughtful so you dont have
to.
The New York customer serv-
ice company United Health
Programs of America forced a
federal lawsuit in last month by
the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) over its employee
esprit-de-corps policy of
requiring workers to pray to
God on the job and to say I
love you to their managers.
According to the EEOC, the
feel-good, work-harder cam-
paign was suggested by an aunt
of Uniteds owner and named
for an obscure truth and com-
passion movement called
Onionhead. [Reuters] (For
some strange reason, I remem-
bered while I was in the Guard,
one officer had us say, I hate
you! whenever we saw him!
Weird!)
Well, I started my new job at
the Pennysaver! What a great
day. There is so much to learn,
but I did okay not bad for my
foray back into the world of
work after six years of relative
leisure. Wait! What? I have to
go back? Nobody told me
that...! (Interesting story [at
least to me] probably 28 years
ago, I placed a Wanted ad in the
Pennysaver looking for a spe-
cific cookbook called some-
thing like Betty Crockers
Working Womans Cookbook
[Yes, an objectionable title].
Anyhow, I got it! So, what are
you looking for?
Now that I am working again, I
have been spending much less
time on Facebook. How much
was I on? I had reached the
point where all I had to do is
look at several Facebook posts
and know immediately exactly
who posted them. Among par-
ticular categories: thick and
inked women, Scarlett
Madison, anything with the
word clean in it (clean jokes),
Ted Nugent or Sarah Palin for
president, leaving a comment
here so you will remember how
great I am, Israel is always
wrong, Israel is always right,
anything cats, no matter what
Obama does/says, hes still a
loser, Im in a new relationship
(wait, no I am not... yes I am...
no, Im not), dramatic and
ongoing weight loss, classic
cars and motorcycles, and, well,
you get the idea.
Time for a serious question:
When it comes to praying, my
mental picture is someone
kneeling on the floor beside
his/her bed with eyes closed,
hands clasped and head bowed.
What about a person lying on
his/her side in bed with hands
clasped under a pillow or some-
one driving or watching TV and
mentally praying. Are those
prayers heard? What do you
think?
Robert Bourque, 55, was con-
victed of DUI in Sarnia,
Ontario, but he continued to
deny the charge. He admitted he
had four beers on the day of the
traffic stop but said the
Breathalyzer result was mis-
leading because he had recently
poured alcohol into his ears to
test his theory about how Jesus
healed the sick. (Bourque was
acting as his own lawyer.)
[Toronto Sun]
A couple of folks connected
with Rumney Old Home Day
(August 9
th
on the Common)
asked if Id include a mention
here hoping some people might
see it here and make a visit.
Sorry, I dont do stuff like that.
Theres a Facebook challenge
going around to ask if you
could send a note to your
younger self using only two
words, what would they be?
Thats incredibly tough on
many levels. What I realized is
that to change any one small
thing could (probably would)
change everything that fol-
lowed. If I had never come to
NH in 1973, what would this
area be like? Has my presence
made any difference? It boggles
my mind!
Great thought: To those who
believe, no proof is necessary.
To those who dont, no proof is
enough. Stuart Chase.
When the same people keep
making the same decisions with
the knowledge they have and
keep getting the same results,
maybe its time to increase that
knowledge!
So without being selfish and
using the words I or me, I
have to ask what our politicians
are doing to make the country a
better place for all (or most) of
us.... Really. Every new law
should make life easier or better
for we the people and not rig
the game even further!
Deep Thought: With all this
bullying and the like, I ask
recipients (victims) to remem-
ber there is nothing wrong with
you (unless there is, in which
case there really may not be
[ask me]). True bullies are the
ones who have something
wrong with themselves.
Finally, uh, say what? A New
York City real estate heir who
admitted killing his neighbor a
decade ago in Texas is facing a
new charge that accuses him of
urinating on candy at a drug
store. Authorities say 71-year-
old Robert Durst was arrested
after arguing with store
employees. They say he was
charged with criminal mischief
after urinating on at least $100
worth of candy. His attorney,
Chip Lewis, said in a statement
that they will address the alle-
gations in court. In 2001, Durst
was arrested as a fugitive and
admitted killing his neighbor
and dumping the remains in
Galveston Bay. He claimed
self-defense and was acquitted
of homicide charges. Dursts
family runs The Durst
Organization, a privately held
billion-dollar real estate compa-
ny that owns several New York

Piermont Presents Boston Cane
Piermonts oldest resident, 96 year old Eleanor Trevithick was presented with the Towns
Boston Post Cane by the Board of Selectman and Historical Society President Helga Mueller.
Although hard of hearing and using a walker for support, Eleanor was in great health and
was very pleased to receive the cane.
She grew up on, what is now known, as Never Done Farm which was owned by her parents
Floyd and Ida Davis. Having graduated from Bradford Academy and business college in
Concord, N.H., she started work at Central Vermont Public Service. A move to Boston, MA,
led her to work for Sears and Roebuck.
In 1937, Eleanor married her late husband Kenneth in Piermont and lived most of her married
life in Schenectady, N.Y. moving back to the Town on their retirement where the couple built
a house on River Road. After her husbands death she moved to an apartment in Woodsville
but since March has lived with her sister Irene in Rivervale Road, Piermont.

Peak By Peak, Moon To Moon: Hiking
NHs 48 4ks For Cancer_______________
by Steven P. Bjerklie
Forty-eight New Hampshire mountains climbed in all, each of
them 4,000 feet in elevation or taller, each with its own conditions
and landscape unique to itself. Every summit reached in the 29-
day span between Junes and Julys full moons. A total 263 miles
of trail covered with a total elevation gain of, well, a lottens of
thousands of feet, a virtual Himalaya of total climbing.
It began on the day of Junes full moon, the Strawberry Moon,
June 13, with a climb up the two Kinsman summits, North and
South, with a gray sky thick as wet wool and 40 mph winds
howling over the prows of the peaks. It ended on July 12 on a
spectacularly clear, calm morning at the top of Mt. Moosilauke,
Julys full Hay Moon still bright and dangling above the horizon
as the first rays of sunrise shot above the shoulder of Mt.
Washington far in the eastern distance.
In between were climbs up Mts. Carrigain, Cannon and far-flung
Cabot, traverses across the Wildcat, Franconia and Carter ridges,
and the long, strenuous 21-mile march over the three Bond peaks
and Mt. Zealand. Ascents were made of the daunting Presidential
mountains: Madison, Adams, Jefferson, mighty Washington (the
Rockpile, famous for hosting the worlds worst weather),
Eisenhower, Pierce and Jackson. There were hikes up peaks that
come in pairs, in trios, in sets. There were the interminable hikes
to remote Owls Head and aptly named Mt. Isolation, where the
wind whipped with such anger that snapping a photo in focus was
all but impossible. And, finally, the climb in the dark up
Moosilauke, Dartmouths Mountain, to see the sunrise on a
perfect Prouty day.
And it was all accomplished by one man to benefit cancer
research and patient services at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris
Cotton Cancer Center.
I feel good, said Brad Taylor on Moosilaukes open, rocky
summit. The oranges and pinks of the dawns early light were
brightening to gold and then pale yellow as the star of the sun
edged above the horizon. Brad sipped a celebratory mimosa. I
might be in the best shape of my life.
Taylor, a veterinarian who lives in Canterbury, NH My
employer was very generous about giving me four weeks in a row
off for this endeavor grew up in the Ozark Mountains region
of Arkansas and has been walking in the woods, he says, as long
as I can remember. In 2012 he was among the first group to
climb 19,341-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa to benefit the Cancer
Center, under the leadership of Wes Chapman, founder of the
Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Centers Reach for the Peaks

Its What The Locals Read!
Continued from page A5
In fact, it was during a conver-
sation with Chapman on
Kilimanjaro somewhere above
15,000 feet, recalls Taylor, that
the idea of hiking all 48 4,000-
footers in New Hampshire to
benefit the Cancer Center was
born. In truth, the whole thing
is probably due to oxygen dep-
rivation, laughed the 55-year-
old Taylor on Moosilaukes
4,802-foot summit. In the past,
he has participated multiple
times in both the Prouty
Century (100-mile bike ride)
and Prouty Ultimate [http://the-
prouty.org] (a 200-mile bike
ride over two days), raising
money for the Cancer Center,
but this year he wanted to do
something extra special. After
he got home following the high-
altitude chat with Chapman, he
checked the calendar and dis-
covered that in 2014 the full
moon in July would rise on the
day of the Prouty [http://thep-
routy.org]. The Moon to
Moon plan fell into place natu-
rally.
As he made his way among the
peaks Taylors family and
friends often hiked alongside
him. His wife Ann hiked 12 of
his ascents, and his sister-in-
law Ginger Kandle accompa-
nied him on a couple. His friend
Craig Kelleher was with Taylor
on eight ascents. Jeff Goodell
with his Labrador retriever
Maggie came along on some
hikes. And Ann and Ginger
were with him at the end, snug-
gled into the rocks on
Moosilaukes exposed peak,
wrapped in shiny silver space
blankets to ward off the early
morning chill.
Reach for the Peaks is the
newest addition to The Prouty
Challenge event series, a series
of athletic events which brings
people together to take action in
the fight against cancer. The
2012 Reach for the Peaks climb
up Mt. Kilimanjaro kicked off
the hike/climb/mountaineering
program with great success,
raising thousands of dollars to
benefit cancer research and
patient services at the Cancer
Center. In September 2013, the
first Reach for the Peaks
climb up Mt. Moosilauke to
conquer breast cancer was host-
ed by the Friends of Norris
Cotton Cancer Center
[http://cancer.dartmouth.edu/dv
/friends_cancer_center.html].
Tapping into the tradition of
hiking all 48 4,000-footers in
New Hampshire as a New
England hikers rite of passage,
Reach for the Peaks the
White Mountains was created
in the spring of 2014 as a new
way to raise money for the
Cancer Center and to bring a
special experience to those who
want to stand up and do some-
thing to fight cancer.
Taylor is the first to complete
ascents of all 48 4Ks, as they
are called, for Reach for the
Peaks. His hiking raised more
than $1,500 for Norris Cotton.
Things hell remember about
his remarkable journey over the
29 days, Taylor says, are the
cool, clean air up high in the
mountains, watching from the
summit of Lafayette as
Franconia Ridge materialized
out of the fog, learning to iden-
tify the mountain birds by their
songs because they are invisible
in the trees, and all the people I
met on the trails. He remem-
bers picking up a hitchhiker on
the Mt. Washington base road
late one evening who had acci-
dentally come down the wrong
side of the mountain and whose
car was a 70-mile drive away in
Pinkham Notch.
But, he says, the summit of
Moosilauke at sunrise with the
full moon up was the best of
all. The sunrise was so spec-
tacular that Im thinking of
doing more hikes and climbs
that get me up high for sunset or
sunrise.
He pauses. I think I am para-
phrasing John Muir when I say
that nothing clears the mind and
restores the soul like a walk in
the mountains. Muir, the great
American naturalist and
humanitarian, would himself
appreciate that Brad Taylors
soul-restoring walks in these
mountains, the White
Mountains of New Hampshire,
from the full moon in June to
the full moon in July, were also
made to help restore the health
of cancer patients.

Hello friends of nature and wel-
come to this weeks edition of
Nature Tracks...
THIRD LOON DEATH
FROM LEAD POISONING
UNDERSCORES NEED
FOR SWITCH TO NON-
LEAD TACKLE
The mood was unmistakably
somber as a Loon Preservation
Committee (LPC) biologist col-
lected the third documented
lead-poisoned loon from New
Hampshire waters this year, this
one discovered on July 18 on
Lake Winnipesaukee. The loon
was collected near the Lanes
End Marina in Melvin Village
after it beached itself. It was
transported to Meadow Pond
Animal Hospital in
Moultonborough for a blood
test and x-rays. Radiographs
showed a lead-headed fishing
jig (a lead weight molded
around a hook), and blood lead
levels were at toxic levels, so
the loon was immediately euth-
anized.
The link between loon deaths
and lead poisoning first
emerged in the 1980s, when the
discovery was made that loons
were ingesting lead fishing
tackle in the form of sinkers and
jigs. Necropsies performed by
the Tufts University School of
Veterinary Medicine on dead
adult common loons in New
Hampshire revealed that 49%
had the remains of lead sinkers
and jigs in their gizzards and
had died from lead poisoning. A
loon will die from lead poison-
ing approximately two to four
weeks after ingesting lead tack-
le.
It seems likely that loons are
eating fish that have tackle in or
on them. As the acidic juices in
the birds gizzard break down
the food, the lead is also broken
down and gets into the blood-
stream of the bird, said Emily
Preston, a wildlife biologist
with the N.H. Fish and Game
Department. The good news is
that using alternatives to lead
tackle should provide immedi-
ate relief to the loon popula-
tion.
Necropsies of dead adult loons
show that lead tackle accounts
for more deaths than every
other human factor combined.
The loss of so many adults from
this preventable cause of mor-
tality has inhibited the recovery
of loons in New Hampshire,
according to the LPC. Because
loons do not breed until 6-7
years of age and have low
reproductive success, it is
important that adult loons sur-
vive for many years to produce
surviving young, said Harry
Vogel, Senior Biologist and
Executive Director at LPC.
The loss of an adult loon may
also result in the loss of that
loons nest or chick, further
negatively impacting the popu-
lation.
To help address this problem,
Fish and Game convened a
Lead and Loon Working Group
in 2013. The idea was to pro-
vide a forum for diverse part-
ners to work toward the com-
mon goal of motivating all
anglers to change to lead-free
tackle. Organizations currently
participating include Fish and
Game, The Loon Preservation
Committee, N.H. Lakes
Association, N.H. Fish and
Game Commission, Squam
Lakes Natural Science Center,
N.H. Department of
Environmental Services, N.H.
Lakes Management Council,
N.H. Audubon and US Fish and
Wildlife Service. All are con-
tributing to outreach efforts
across the state.
Lead is a known factor that we
have the ability to address. It is
something we can choose to
change, said Laura Ryder,
Education Programs Supervisor
at Fish and Game. With that in
mind, the Lead and Loon
Working Group is reaching out
to anglers from all walks of life
and providing information to
help them choose alternatives to
lead fishing tackle.
Laws are being strengthened to
encourage the switch. New
Hampshire was the first state in
the nation to restrict the sale
and use of small lead fishing
tackle to protect loons. In 2013,
Governor Hassan signed a bill
(SB 89) that increases protec-
tion for loons from lead fishing
tackle by banning the sale and
freshwater use of lead fishing
sinkers and jigs (lead-weighted

hooks) weighing one ounce or
less. This bill will be imple-
mented in June of 2016, but
N.H. Fish and Game and The
Loon Preservation Committee
are urging everyone to remove
lead tackle from their tackle
boxes now. Safe alternatives to
lead tackle, made of steel, tung-
sten, tin, bismuth, and many
other materials, are effective
and readily available. (See a list
of suppliers on the LPC web-
site, http://www.loon.org).
As word gets out, many anglers
are changing their tackle over
and choosing to fish lead free.
Switching to lead-alternative
tackle is the right thing to do,
not just for the common loon
recovery, but also for any other
wildlife with similar habits that
may also be vulnerable to
ingesting lead sinkers and jigs,
said Jason Smith, Chief of
Inland Fisheries at the Fish and
Game Department. We always
have choices, and this choice
can help the common loon to
make a more solid recovery.
The New Hampshire Fish and
Game Department
( ht t p: / / www. wi l dnh. com)
works in partnership with the
public to conserve, manage and
protect the states fish, wildlife
and marine resources and their
habitats; inform and educate the
public about these resources;
and provide the public with
opportunities to use and appre-
ciate these resources.

The Importance of
Enrichment for our Pets
Enrichment. Its a buzzword
lately, but what does it mean in
relation to our pets? It will help
to compare the differences in
many of our pets current lives
compared to the lives their
ancestors experienced.
Take the house cat; descended
from an african wild cat whos
life was spent in search of food
and a mate. Her territory took
her over rocks and brush and
streams and grasses; each bit of
terrain a home to various living
creatures. The encyclopedia of
scents, the ingredients of the
scent we call the smell of out-
doors, envelops her. Out of the
grass scampers a field mouse.
Slinking into her hunting
crouch, she prepares. In a flash
shes on top of the mouse.
Now compare that vivid sce-
nario with one common to
many pet cats. In a temperature
controlled home, she wakes up
and stretches, having napped in
a ray of sun. Its a light source
that provides heat, but has the
vitamins filtered out through
panes of window glass. She
walks across steam cleaned,
nylon carpet to a plastic tub
filled with pine pellets. Its
where shes supposed to elimi-
nate, so she does. She eyeballs a
motionless catnip filled fabric
mouse on the floor, but walks
past. Without much else to do,
she hops up on the windowsill
and watches the world outside
before settling in for another
nap.
Consequences of an under-
stimulated pet
The pets in our lives, wether
cats, dogs, fish, goats or birds;
are all descendants of ancestors
who lived and thrived in natural
settings. Each day presented
them with both life and death
challenges as well as indirect
experiences that encouraged
physical agility and mental
growth. When we brought these
animals into our lives and con-
tained them for safety; often
they were forced to give up the
daily stimulation they had
evolved to seek. Without suit-
able mental and physical exer-
cise and experiences, behavior
problems develop.
To name a few:
Feather plucking
Chewing
Digging
Spinning in circles
Depression
Aggression
Barking/ Yowling/
Screeching
Way to add enrichment for
your pets
Zoo caretakers were the first to
add enrichment activities to the
captive animals daily routine.
The amazing results of this sim-
ple step were noticed by pet
enthusiasts, resulting in a flood
of new toys, puzzles and train-
ing skills designed specifically
to encourage thinking and
movement. A few of my
favorite commercial items
include:
Buster Cube
Kong Wobbler
Tug-a-Jug
The Nina Ottensen line
The Dog Games line
You dont need to purchase
items to enrich your pets lives.
Here are a few free suggestions
to try.
Cut six dime size holes
in a two liter soda bottle and fill
it with your pets dry kibble. Let
them knock it around to make
food fall out.
Moisten your pets
food until its the consistency of
oatmeal. Fill a hollow marrow
bone with this and freeze.
Hide treats in different
areas of your yard.
Place treats or toys in a
box filled with empty plastic
bottles for you pet to dig for.
Change your pets daily
walk to incorporate different
sights and sounds. Make a
detour through a stand of trees
or down to a brook. Even a
small change from routine can
make a big difference.
University studies have shown
that animals prefer to work for
rewards rather than being given
them for free. Use your imagi-
nation to come up with other
ideas. Without even realizing it,
you will be adding enrichment
to your life,too!

Good morning from the White
Mountains.
Oh, you'd love it here this
morning. The air is delicious.
It is mountain cool and moun-
tain fresh. We have been up
since just before five when only
a glimmer of the day to come
hung expectantly in the air.
Already we've been up Black
Cap and we are now home.
Atticus did well. He's not seven
years old any longer, but he is
responding nicely to the cool
air. No breathing issues. At
least not like he's had. He led
most of the way and I'm grate-
ful for that. We took the easier
of the two routes, the same way
we went when we climbed it
twenty-eight days after my
emergency gall bladder surgery.
The same path we took when
we reached the top less than a
month after Atticus's toe was
amputated.
On the way up, we stopped at
one of the ledges. It's a private
place, for the most part. I'm not
sure it's meant to be, but I think
people either don't know about
it or they pass it by in their
hurry to get to the top. But as
we're wont to do on our hikes,
we linger there. It's like drop-
ping in on an old friend the way
to someplace else. It's comfort-
able and easy. It's familiar.
Because it's the first view of the
day, this wild little patch of rock
and shrub with a window to the
west is a welcoming place of
us. I've never seen anyone
there, which is another reason I
favor it. It's always a good
thing when you get a mountain
to yourself, or at least a piece of
one.
I should amend that by saying
I've never seen any other people
there.
This morning, for the second
time ever, we encountered a
bear on those ledges. He had
the same idea we did. We all
came for the blueberries.
As dawn was breaking and soft
light filtered over the Valley
and a peach glow of warmth
washed over the three Moats
and Chocorua, Atticus and I
crouched on one side of a tan-
gled blueberry patch, and while
I plucked wild berries from
their bushes, offering one to
Atticus, then the next to myself,
a bear lumbered slowly on his
own side. He foraged with
ease. Every now and again he'd
raise his big head up into the air
and point his brown snout at us.
But all he was doing was what
we were all doing, keeping an
eye on the others, for obvious
enough reasons.
I'm happy to report that an
understanding was reached.
There was enough space
between us, we weren't both-
ered by the company (for my
part, I was overjoyed by it),
and, perhaps most importantly
on the bear's part, there were
more than enough blueberries
so he didn't have to go without.
Black Cap is not a tough moun-
tain to climb. I used to consider
it only a walk for us on morn-
ings when we weren't able to
hike. But life changes. Years
add to years. We age. Our bod-
ies change. We adapt. This
summer it fits into a rotation of
smaller peaks for us to climb
where we are rewarded with
grand views. Seeing a bear is
always a plus, but unfortunately
it rarely happens on a hike. So
we like our places that are spe-
cial for their own reasons.
Atticus does well enough with
these easier mountains. He
needs more water than in the
past, and we spend more time
walking side-by-side (when the
trail allows for it), but he's
happy to be out and about and
getting up to a place where he
can cast his eyes out over great
distances, as a fly fisherman
casts his line over the water.
Winding around the "back,"
less popular side, we walked
through the brush and listened
to the glorious song of birds and
looked up at the sky, still pale
compared to the blue it is now.
I stopped, at a place where we
always stop, and looked back to
see the mountains peering over
the growth at us. It's a nice pre-
view of what we'll soon see, but
it also offers a different view,
one where the plants are high-
lighted by the mountains, and
the mountains are highlighted
by the plants. It's a relationship
that seems to work for both of
them, whether they know it or
not. At least to my eyes it does.
Nearing the summit, Atticus
trotted forth and leaped onto the
highest rock and sat. I came to
sit down behind him to let him
enjoy the view toward the high-
er peaks of our mountains.
Agiocochook had his head in
the clouds, as is often the case.
But the rest of the mountains
were shining brightly, much
like the red brick shops used to
in the early mornings when we
lived in downtown
Newburyport before people
stirred much and their doors
opened for business. That was
when I appreciated
Newburyport the most and its
often when I appreciate the
mountains most. It's like wak-
ing up to a lover before her hair
is done, before makeup goes on.
There's an intimacy to it. A pri-
vacy that means something.

ties await to design the final interior space. One could conceivably live
here and finish it as you go all the while enjoying the scenic surround-
ings of the Baker River valley in the White Mts. of NH. Asking $85,000.

July 4, 2014 was surprisingly
wet and humid with warm tem-
peratures that dropped comfort-
ably as we gained elevation on
our ascent of Mount Carr in
Warren. Throughout the morn-
ing we got progressively wetter
and it was as close to a rain for-
est as I ever want to be. The rain
was off and on, and the ground
and vegetation was soaked from
the previous nights thunder-
storms. The dampness clung to
everything and the air was wet
and heavy. Every breath felt
like I was coating my lungs
with a wool blanket. Even the
dogs felt the weight of the
weather and offered little of
their youthful antics that are
common on cooler days.
The summit brought relief; the
air was cooler and breezy and
the fog drifted through the tops
of the spruce and fir like smoke.
The summit of a mountain is
only the half-way point, and
during the decent I take time to
survey the landscape. There are
many forces that shaped our
landscape and continue to shape
it every day. The glacier carved
out our mountains and deposit-
ed huge rocks across the land.
But there are other forces that
shape our land right in front of
us on an annual basis. One
notable current force in the for-
est is known as pit and mound
topography.
If you look across at the forest
floor you will notice that it is
very lumpy. Many of these
lumps are boulders that were
dropped by the glacier 12 mil-
lion years ago. However the
other lumps are simply lumps
of soil. If you look closely you
will notice that mounds of soil
in the woods are commonly
located right next to a pit or
depression. Pit and mound
topography is formed by the
uprooting of large trees in
strong winds.
Most people dont like the site
of a large tree that has blown
over roots and all but it is an
essential component of the cur-
rent formation of our landscape
that has been happening as long
as trees were large enough to
blow over. For me, the site of
an uprooted tree is simply the
second life of the tree.
The pit is the depression in
the soil that was where the roots
of the tree were before the tree
fell. When the tree uproots the
pit is immediately formed, and
will fill in over time. The
mound is formed by the
decomposed root ball of the
tree. Some uprooted trees have
root balls that are several feet
tall, so the formation of the
mound takes many years but
it will eventually be a lump of
soil.
During the time that the root
ball and tree are decomposing,
the fallen tree serves many pur-
poses in the woods that are just
as important as the purposes it
served when it was standing.
Under the fallen tree is a great
place for salamanders, frogs,
moles and mice to live. The
branches, roots, and trunk of the
tree slowly decompose and
attract insects that are fed on by
birds. The pit, crown and root
ball can serve as a winter den
for hibernating bears and the
trunk of the tree is commonly a
drumming site for ruffed
grouse.
Trees are amazing organisms.
They can live hundreds, some-
times thousands of years and
the natural forces that are need-
ed to bring one down are equal-
ly amazing. A fallen tree is not
a sign of loss in the woods.
Instead it is new life and a new
purpose for a tree that serves
many purposes on the land-
scape.
Dedicated to my wife Jokie:
She is my constant companion
and inspiration on my walks
and very often she is the source
of ideas for the topics that I get
credit for writing about.

Its like clockwork!
Just like the seasons or the ris-
ing of the sun and the setting of
the moon, Warren Old Home
Days shows up evey year on the
second weekend in July.
Old Home Days in Warren are a
part of the communities her-
itage, history and Iam certain,
its on-going legacy.
Hundreds flock the Warren
Town Common each and every
year to get a glimpse of the
wonderful fireworks, one of the
greatest parades in the area
and of course, the musici and
all the vendors scattered
around the common.
Each year, we see old friends
and make new ones. Its a time
to have fun, catch up and sim-
ply enjoy life for a moment.
This year was no different from
any others really, with the
exception that last years was
celebrated with Warren turning
250 years old. But this year, still
they flocked.
The putting together of the
three day event in Warren, truly
is a year long worth of work!It
doesnt happen overnight.
Theres much to getting every-
thing to come together to bring
the three day event to fruition.
I would like to give kudos to
those who did the job this year.
Headed by Chris Whitcher of
Warren, he and his crew did a
fantastic job in bringing it all
together.
Everyhting from making sure
things were safe on the common
to the emptying of trash buck-
ets, everyone chipped in.
Oh yes indeed, there will
always be the complaints that
come along the way that youll
hear after the fact, but I say to
those who may complain, jump
on board and become a member
of Parks & Recreation and help
do the tireless work it takes
throughout the year!!!
Anyway - a job well done, Isay!
Thanks for another succesful
Old Home Days event! Not an
easy task to pull it all together.
Nobody Asked,
Just My Opinion, ~BEF
So many letters, so little time
The July 9th edition of the
Littleton Courier contained so
many misleading letters that
Im not sure Ill be able to stay
under the word limit in
responding. But wait, Sue
Fords diatribe regarding the
gas tax increase took up nearly
half a page of the newspaper.
First of all, a resident of
Landaff made a rather lame
attempt to equate the U.S.
Supreme Courts decisions in
regard the Hobby Lobby
case and the buffer zones
around abortion clinics with
Sharia Law. Yes, the same
Sharia Law that calls for cut-
ting off the hands of thieves and
stoning to death women sus-
pected of adultery. That com-
parison speaks for itself.
I found the most noteworthy
thing about this letter to be that
the writer neglects to mention
that Hobby Lobby voluntarily
covers sixteen different forms of
contraception for their female
employees and was only object-
ing to four methods; Plan B,
which is also known as the
morning after pill, Ella,
another emergency contracep-
tive, Copper Intrauterine
Device and IUD with progestin
forms of birth control that
some believe can cause or are
akin to abortion.. Covering
these methods would violate the
Green familys deeply held reli-
gious belief that life begins at
the moment of conception,
when an egg is fertilized.
Unless a mothers life is in dan-
ger, abortion does not consti-
tute healthcare.
Secondly, a Franconia resident
wrote a letter suggesting that
(Scott) Brown is wrong for
New Hampshire In response, I
would just say that I agree with
this sentiment. The only person
I can think of who is more
wrong for New Hampshire is
Jeanne Shaheen. Look at her
record of disregarding the wel-
fare of her state and country
and give the hyperbole a rest.
And, lastly, there is
Representative Sue Fords
lengthy pontification regarding
the gas tax increase. She fails
to address the reality that the
only reason gas tax revenues
have been inadequate to main-
tain our roads and bridges is
that she, and representatives
like her, have repeatedly raided
that fund to compensate for
their overspending and some-
times ridiculous revenue fore-
casts.

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, God has always told us
to trust in Him. To put our faith and
trust in Him alone. Here are some scripture
verses to help you do just that. Ps.37:3-6;
Ps.9:10; Ps.22:4-5; Ps.:91; Ps.118:6-9;
Ps.125:1-2; Pr.3:5-6; Pr.29:25; Isa.12:1-2; Isa.
26:3-4; Jer.17:5-8; Mat.14:23-33; Rom.8:38-
39 for just a few! Jesus Christ our Lord God is
in charge! He always has been and always will
be! He holds everything together. Do not be
afraid, do not be discouraged. He will make a
way where there seems to be no way! He is
the God of angel armies! The LORD OF
HOSTS! Put your trust in HIM! Read His
Word.God bless you all.

Continued from page B1
You get a view that not all oth-
ers get. You see what's real and
not colored by the bright light
of the prime of the day.
I prefer Agiocochook's Abenaki
name as the "home of the great
spirit" to Mount Washington. It
seems more respectful to me;
less self-congratulatory. Its a
cultural thing and reveals much
of how two different people
came to see Nature. The
Abenaki name holds a rever-
ence to it, while Mount
Washington reflects our need to
control nature, and infers we
have bested it, that we own it.
Even when we don't.
Agiocochook says, "This is
where God lives." Washington
says, "You belong to us."
We have our favorite viewing
places on the sprawling expanse
of the Black Cap's summit.
There is not a bad seat in the
house, especially when the only
others there to enjoy it are the
birds and busy chipmunks and
red squirrels. They forage was
the bear was foraging earlier.
Its breakfast time.
We stopped at each of view-
points. I brought food for both
of us and we nibbled without
looking at it. Instead, our eyes
were held captive by what we
love - by what we've always
loved.
Gosh, I think we've both missed
being on the mountains. I
understand we moved here to
live in the mountains, and we've
enjoyed that, but on these days
when we still get up to a good
view, when our bodies earn it as
lungs, heart, bones, joints, and
muscle all work together, it
means more.
There may come a day when
Atticus gets too old to do even
this level of mountain and I
place him in a backpack to
carry him up the trail, but I
understand what this means to
him. He enjoys the journey.
Its the mass itself before the
sacrament of communion.
We both enjoy the view. We've
driven to some vistas and it's
not the same to him. When we
climb by foot and paw, he takes
longer with the views. They
hold his attention more. I don't
pretend to know everything he's
thinking, but if I had to take a
stab at it, I'd say it has some-
thing to do with being one with
the mountain. And being one
with the surrounding moun-
tains. Hes always been differ-
ent when hes up high. It seems
to be the realm he belongs to.
Atticus changed when we start-
ed hiking ten years ago. He
became more more of what he
was meant to be, I guess. This
was his place to feel at home, as
compared to the provincial city
we lived in when I had to lead
the way. In the mountains he
was more natural, more at ease.
Hed come home.
Sitting here at the kitchen table
now, I look over at the couch
and he's happily sleeping. I'm
grateful for the first few hours
of this day but more joyful for
him.
Now, no matter what happens,
the day is already something
special.

Warners Tory Hill Authors
Series continues its fifth season
with NPRs Only A Game, Bill
Littlefield on August 9, 2014 at
the Warner Town Hall. Bill
Littlefield has been the host of
the syndicated National Public
Radio sports shows Only a
Game since 1993. Its only a
game, the program tells us, try-
ing to keep sports in perspec-
tive. And for all the deadly seri-
ous perspectives of sports com-
mentators and fans, Littlefields
is perhaps the most realistic.
It is certainly the most enter-
taining. Sometimes funny,
sometimes poignant,
Littlefields take on the games
people play is as refreshing as it
is enlightening. A graduate of
Yale University and the
Harvard Graduate School of
Education, Bill continues to
teach one course each semester
at Curry College, Milton, MA
where he also serves as writer-
in-residence.
This evening is the third of four
presented by the Warner
Historical Society.
Then with Author, Mike
Dickerman on August 23, 2014
at the Warner Town Hall.
Dickerman is a longtime north-
ern New Hampshire resident
who was lured to the White
Mountains region by its many
foot trails and magnificent sum-
mits and lush valleys. After
more than a decade of reporting
on area events for the Littleton
Courier newspaper, he started
his own publishing company
(Bondcliff Books) in 1996 and
regularly writes, publishes and
distributes books related to
New Hampshires North
Country and White Mountains.
For more than 27 years, his
popular hiking column, The
Beaten Path, has appeared reg-
ularly in newspapers across the
Granite State.
He has authored or edited
numerous books. He will be
speaking about his newest
book, White Mountains Hiking
History and Stories from the
White Mountains, both pub-
lished in 2013 by The History
Press.
This evening is the last of the
series presented by t
he Warner Historical Society.
The readings begin at 7:00 p.m.
and are held in the Warner
Town Hall.
A dessert social and book sign-
ing are accompanied by the
sounds of live jazz following
the readings.

A Boost for City Year New
Hampshire
Back by popular demand, the
2nd Annual White Mountain
Gran Fondo presented by Bank
of New Hampshire will be chal-
lenging nearly 800 cyclists in
the ride of their lives on
Saturday, August 23. Cyclists
will test their strength and
endurance through 100 miles of
some of the toughest climbs and
most brilliant scenery that New
Hampshires White Mountains
have to offer. Cyclists can still
register by visiting www.white-
mountaingranfondo.com.
This Big Ride for a Big
Purpose benefits City Year
New Hampshires work to help
struggling students stay in
school and get back on track
toward high school graduation.
In Manchester, City Years
diverse corps of 50 young peo-
ple serve in six of the citys ele-
mentary schools.
City Year New Hampshires
Executive Director Pawn
Nitichan explains, With one in
four Manchester children cur-
rently living in poverty and one
in seven dropping out of high
school, thousands more stu-
dents at the middle and high
school level are in need of sim-
ilar assistance. The White
Mountain Gran Fondo is criti-
cal in helping City Year raise
the funds to expand and help
meet the needs of all students.
Gran Fondos are long distance,
mass-participation cycling
events that have been extremely
popular in Europe and
increasing in popularity in the
U.S. The WMGF will include
three ride options: a 100 mile
Gran Fondo starting at Loon
Mountain, a 50 mile Medio
Fondo starting at Bretton
Woods Ski Resort, and a 25
mile Piccolo Fondo starting in
Franconia, NH. Each ride will
challenge cyclists with daring
terrain and breathtaking
scenery.
Last year, the event attracted
nearly 400 athletes, 21 spon-
sors, 112 volunteers and hun-
dreds of spectators to the White
Mountains and raised $78,000
in support of City Years work.
The event received overwhelm-
ingly positive feedback from
riders and sponsors alike.
One participant remarked,
Over the last five years I've
participated in about a dozen
organized bike rides annually.
This was the best organized and
most scenic ride I've ever been
on.
Tony Ilacqua, Branch Manager
for Bank of New Hampshire in
Lincoln said, Last year,
numerous people went out of
their way to thank me and my
company for supporting such a
wonderful cause. I have always
been proud to represent my
company, but never as much as
on that day. What a great event
and more importantly what a
great Partnership that Bank of
New Hampshire is proud to be a
part of.
Paul McCormack, Irish
Olympic cyclist and the official
Event Technician said, City
Year members bring an amaz-
ing level of spirit and organiza-
tion that make the White
Mountain Gran Fondo an
incredible success one of the
best events Ive been to in
recent years.
Loon Mountain Resort will host
all of the action at the events
start and finish line.
Participants will be treated to
joyful welcomes from City Year
New Hampshire staff and vol-
unteers as they arrive. The 100-
mile ride will launch at 8am.
The riders will turn right out of
Loon Mountain to make the
long, steady climb up the
Kancamagus Highway and on
to Bear Notch and Crawford
Notch. The beautiful day of rid-
ing will conclude with a trek up
Kinsman Notch with volunteers
wildly cheering at the top.
Then, it is all downhill to the
finish. The course will be teem-
ing with energetic City Year
staff and corps members who
will cheer, direct and assist rid-
ers the whole way.
Were so pleased to host City
Years big event. Were grateful
to the organization, volunteers,
sponsors, riders, and their fami-
ly and friends for heading to the
Lincoln area and allowing us to
be a part of their success, said
Andrew Noyes, Sales Director
at Loon.
City Year New Hampshire is
partnering with the Bank of
New Hampshire and several
other local businesses to make
this event possible, including
Loon Mountain, Bretton
Woods, Papa Wheelies,
Pedros, The Mountain Club at
Loon, Baker Newman Noyes,
the McLane Law Firm and 13
other sponsors and partners.

Tek Talk...With Eli Heath
Of Paige Computer Services
Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer
You see them in hotels and air-
ports; you may have used one in
a library or copy center or inter-
net caf. I am talking about
public computers. There are
some precautions you must take
when using these computers,
these are;
Watch for over the shoulder
snoops, when using a public
computer be aware of your sur-
roundings there may be some-
one watching you as you type
and the web site that you are on.
Do not enter sensitive infor-
mation, such as name or social
security numbers, keep in mind
someone may have installed
key logging software or a don-
gle attached to the keyboard
that would log all your informa-
tion as you type. Chat programs
such as yahoo may be logging
your conversation so any per-
sonal information you chat
about may be saved on the com-
puter for someone to read later.
Do not save any login infor-
mation, when you log on to a
web site and it ask you for a
password a window may pop up
asking you do you want to save
this information, say NO! If
you say yes your password
would be saved on the comput-
er for easy retrieval later. Many
programs such as instant mes-
sengers give you the option for
auto logon; make sure that box
is unchecked.
Do not use removable media,
such as a thumb drive or floppy
disk on the computer. The pub-
lic computer may be infected
with a Trojan or virus. After
using that media on a public
computer and you put it in your
personal computer you will
infect your computer, a Trojan
may be installed where the
hacker can get all your personal
information by logging into
your home computer.
There are some one line tools
you can run on a public com-
puter which will make your
computer experience easier,
they are;
Google Docs it includes a
word processor, spreadsheet
program and presentation tool.
It is not as good as word or
excel but it is free to use and
your information is not kept on
the computer, you need to cre-
ate an account with Google and
save your file on the web so you
can access your document from
any computer.
Flickr is an online photo shar-
ing tool if you want to view
family photos or share pictures
with friends and you do not
want to download picture to the
computer this is a great alterna-
tive. All you do is create an
account where your family will
be able to upload and share the
pictures, you can view them on
any public computer.
Gmail or Yahoo Mail is a free
online mail account, if you trav-
el allot and you need the flexi-
bility to check your e-mail from
any computer these are the tools
for you, now with Yahoo you
can have unlimited e-mail stor-
age, Gmail offers 5 gigabytes of
e-mail storage depending on
how many e-mails you receive
this may be plenty of storage
space. They also have a address
book to store your contacts,
along with calendars to keep
track of your appointments.
You may in some cases synch
your cell phone with Yahoo cal-
endar so all your appointments
are current on your phone and
on Yahoo.
Use USB Flash Drive, there
are programs that will run on a
thumb drive, these can be
Mozilla Firefox web browser or
Thunderbird e-mail client.
There are many free programs
that will work independent of
your home computer that you
can install on a thumb drive,
plug it into a computer and still
use that programs like your sit-
ting in front of your home com-
puter, you can find these
portable applications on the
internet a great site for them is
www.portableapps.com.
Well I hope this information is
helpful, again any question
please e-mail me at
paigecs@gmail.com or call
603-747-2201 also visit my
website www.paigecomput-
erservices.com, So until next
time Happy Computing!

Keeping Each Other Well
by Elizabeth Terp
Cosauke...
Adventures in
Homesteading
Beth
Weick
The Corner Stack
As I stepped into our shed this
morning to gather tools for the
day, I noticed the latest config-
uration. In searching for some-
thing the day before, Ryan had
shuffled the stacks of totes and
tools. Where previously had sat
a wooden bowl of bolts and a
few seashells atop our stuffed-
to-bursting toolbox, stood a
new arrangement. It caught my
eye: two cast iron pans, in need
of a sandblasting, topped by
Ryans bright orange hard hat.
Mundane, and symptomatic of
nothing more than a slightly
disheveled storage shed with a
few too many items in a tad too
small space. And yet, some-
thing about it stuck with me.
The worn helmet, with knicks
and sawdust evidence of its use,
balanced on the thick and heavy
cast iron, extras that were set
aside until need called them
back into the kitchen. Both are
held atop the old, grey toolbox
by the corner boards of the
shed, pine slabs unceremoni-
ously nailed to the hand-peeled
pole frame of fir and spruce.
Glancing twice as I gather my
garden fork and pruning lop-
pers, I try to identify what this
accidental corner stack evokes.
Strength, sweat, labor; the
smell of a hot chain on wood,
sawdust. Comfort, satiation,
the heat of a cookstove; fire,
fresh produce, a meal out of dirt
and care. Man and machine;
woman and sustenance.
Yes, that, and something more:
vigor, gumption, care, effort.
Somehow, I found all that in
one glance. Somehow, it seems
to sum up what were doing out
here. Wood and food, and the
creation of a home out of the
hills in which we live. Its
piecemeal and chaotic - as our
shed so easily suggests - but
also beautiful and powerful.
Our little clearing is filling with
flowers and edibles, gradually
turning from woods to a work-
ing homestead. We saw and
split our wood, though fresh
trees seem to out-pace us.
Rocks, endless as they may be,
are moved while compost
enriches the gardens; fruit trees
are encouraged and weeds
pulled. And at the end of each
day, we set down our tools and
sit about the tiny table to share
a meal. Our hands are cal-
loused and the dirt never quite
comes off, but a smile comes
easily to our eyes and our
hearts.
Garden work is my specialty!
Weeding, planting, mulching
and pruning services available,
plus edible landscapes and gar-
den designs. Contact Beth via

Its The Right
Thing To Do..
Flora, Fauna, and
Flossing
While the challenge to see that
the food we eat is free of mer-
cury, pesticides, hormones, and
whatever else threatens rather
than supports robust health, we
sometimes need reminders to be
sure that we toss our food into a
clean mouth bowl after going to
all that trouble to check the
food out.
It may help to visualize how
perfectly arranged the mouth
bowl is to house a variety of
bacteria, not all of them friend-
ly. Bacteria love dark, moist
places and a steady diet of
sugar. Any pockets in the gums
surrounding our teeth are a
housing bonanza for bacteria,
depending on how welcome we
make them. Unchecked, bacte-
ria create gum disease, get into
the blood stream, and create
plaques in our arteries that lead
to heart disease.
While we deplore the amount of
sugar degenerating our diet, this
is not really a new phenome-
non. I was raised in the penny
candy days and there was a reg-
ular stash at the corner store in
my neighborhood. There was a
sugar bowl on every kitchen
table and plenty of home baked
cookies and bars. Cakes had an
inch of frosting on them and
fruit pies were common
desserts. However, carbonated
drinks were only had on special
occasions. They took up a
minor section of an aisle in the
grocery store, not the whole
aisle. Orange juice was only
had by squeezing oranges so it
was consumed in small glasses.
The problem with todays soda
is that it is sipped throughout
the day, along with snacks pro-
viding bacteria with a steady
diet of sugar and setting off just
as steady a stream of bacterial
plaque and tooth decay.
Hygienists patiently demon-
strate flossing technique and the
necessity of routing out the bac-
teria before they form plaques
and start eroding the enamel on
our teeth. It is not enough to
slide the floss up and down
between each tooth. We need to
wrap it around the base of every
side of every tooth to rout out
any bacteria in residence. If you
then rinse your mouth with
about a tablespoon of 3 percent
hydrogen peroxide-- brace
yourself-- you will immediately
see the spots you missed.
Food is meant to be digested
standing up. Anyone who regu-
larly takes a nap directly after a
meal is in for a foul awakening
as remnants of the meal shift
into reverse, travel back up the
esophagus, and start over again
in the mouth, definitely not as
tasty the second time around.
Step one is to remain in an
upright position for 3-4 hours
after eating to give the meal a
fair chance to enter the relay
race through the digestive tract,
at least to make it beyond the
second gate, the pyloric valve,
at the entrance to the small
intestine. Water we swish and
swallow between meals also
keeps nutrients moving easily
in the right direction.
So, on any visit to a dental
hygienist for a cleaning, listen
up for a longer, healthier life.
PS: The most effective tooth-
paste I know is a tsp. of baking
soda with a squirt of lemon
juice. Watch it foam and load
up your brush!

According to the Environmental Working Group, which
assessed the safety and effectiveness of more than 1,400 sun-
screens for its 2014 Guide to Sunscreens, only one in three
sunscreens for sale on the shelves of American stores offer
good skin protection and are free of ingredients with links to
health problems. - Credit: Bruce A. Stockwell, Courtesy Flickr

"Inspiring Healthy Choices For Life"
Dear EarthTalk: With summer
officially here now, what can
you tell us about which sun-
screens are safe and which are
not?
-- Clara Rosen, New York, NY
Skin cancer is by far the most
common form of cancer in the
United States, with more new
cases each year than breast,
prostate, lung and colon cancers
combined. And the rate of
newly diagnosed cases of the
most deadly skin cancer,
melanoma, has tripled over the
last three decades. But many of
the sunscreens on the market do
not provide enough protection
from the suns damaging rays.
Also, some of them contain
chemicals that can also cause
health problems in their own
right.
According to the non-profit
Environmental Working Group
(EWG), which assessed the
safety and effectiveness of
more than 1,400 SPF (sun
protection factor) products for
its 2014 Guide to Sunscreens,
only one in three sunscreens for
sale on the shelves of American
stores offer good skin protec-
tion and are free of ingredients
with links to health issues.
That means two-thirds of the
sunscreens in our analysis dont
work well enough or contain
ingredients that may be toxic,
reports the group.
A big part of the problem is the
lack of tougher rules from the
U.S. Food & Drug
Administration (FDA). The
FDAs first major set of sun-
screen regulations, 36 years in
the making, took effect in
December 2012 and proved far
too weak to transform the mar-
ket, reports EWG. While the
new rules did restrict some of
the most egregious claims on
sunscreen labels (such as the
patently false waterproof
and sweatproof claims) and
ended the sale of powder sun-
screens and towelettes that were
too thin to provide protection
against ultraviolet rays, they
didnt address inhalation threats
from spray sunscreens or take
into account the risks of expo-
sure to so-called nanoparti-
cles from zinc oxide and titani-
um dioxide varieties.
While the FDA is currently
reassessing its stance on sun-
screens, EWG warns it may be
a while before new rules
address these and other con-
cerns, especially given push-
back from regulatory-averse
members of Congress and some
manufacturers. So whats a
health-conscious sun worship-
per to do about sunscreen?
For starters, read labels. Some
common sunscreen ingredients
to watch out for and avoid
include: oxybenzone, which
can cause allergic reactions and
hormone-like effects; Vitamin
A (AKA retinyl palmitate), a
skin irritant and possible car-
cinogen; and fragrances which
can contain allergens and chem-
icals. Also, spray sunscreens are
suspect because inhaling some
of the ingredients can irritate
breathing passages and even
potentially compromise lung
function. And EWG warns to
avoid products with SPF ratings
higher than 50, as their use can
tempt people to apply too little
and/or stay in the sun too long.
Sticking with products in the
15-50 SPF range and reapply-
ing often makes much more
sense.
Some of the best choices are
those sunscreens that employ
either zinc oxide or avoben-
zone, both which have been
shown to block the most dam-
aging ultraviolet rays effective-
ly without the need for other
potentially troublesome addi-
tives. Some of the leading
brands that meet EWGs criteria
for both safety and effective-
ness include Absolutely
Natural, Aubrey Organics,
California Baby, Elemental
Herbs, Goddess Garden,
Tropical Sands and True
Natural, among others. Find
these and other winners on the
shelves of natural foods retail-
ers as well as online. For a com-
plete list of all 172 recommend-
ed sunscreens and to learn more
about the risks, check out
EWGs free online 2014 Guide
to Sunscreens.
