Manchester, NH (February 21,
2017) New Hampshire
Institute of Art (NHIA) is
pleased to announce that they
will be hosting a storytelling
festival on April 8, 2017, 2pm

tellers, illustrators, and graphic

What is Storytelling?
Storytelling is an ancient art
form and one of the first meth-
ods of self-expression humans
used.
It is interactive the way the
listeners respond can some-
times influence the course of
the story.
Each culture defines stories dif-
ferently and presents them dif-
ferently.
Diverse forms such as poetry,
song and stand-up comedy can
all sometimes be considered
stories.
Some cultures tell a story the
same way each time it is told;
others add or take away
depending on the mood of the
audience.
Stories influence the imagina-
tion and empathy of the listener
by allowing the listener to draw
connections between places or
circumstances described and
those they have experienced
themselves despite never seeing
the specific places in the story
or participating in that particu-
lar culture.

Please contact Sara Ceaser, the
Alumni and Membership
Coordinator with any questions.

ship@nhia.edu or (603)836-

One of the added benefits of

that they supply other organs in

diet in order to prevent heart

In addition to taking steps to

The Curious Cat By Bear
Please send your
questions
This weeks question comes
from Dan of Littleton 14. What
type of Pizza is the best?
This is a question of curiosity
that has had many of heated
arguments over. The New York
style, Chicago, Greek etc. Well
I figured first I would do a little
research into who invented it
and I got this answer. A pop-
ular contemporary legend holds
that the archetypal pizza, pizza
Margherita, was invented in
1889, when the Royal Palace of
Capodimonte commissioned
the Neapolitan pizzaiolo (pizza
maker) Raffaele Esposito to
create a pizza in honor of the
visiting Queen Margherita.

few times and having Pizza in

Is Your Road To
Retirement
Poorly Mapped Out?
Can you imagine going on an
extended vacation without
making any plans?
No websites or tour guides con-
sulted. No hotel reservations
made. No itinerary mapped out.
Of course not. If you wanted
your vacation to be a success,
youd budget enough money to
cover your costs. Youd know
when you were going, how
long you could stay and at least
generally what you would do
while there.
But when it comes to the
longest vacation most people
will ever take retirement
fewer than half of all
Americans have a formal plan.
And that can spell trouble.
Theres nothing worse than
being 85 years old, full of life,
and being flat broke, says
Randy Becker, a retirement
planner and co-founder of the
Becker Retirement Group in
Bellevue, Washington
(www.beckerretirement.com).
But it takes some work to avoid
the many pitfalls that can ruin
your golden years, Becker says.
Inflation, taxes, bad health and
bad investments can be devas-
ful retirement life, he says.
Becker offers these tips for get-
ting started so youll know
youre ready to begin your
retirement journey:
Get everybody on board. You
and your spouse need to agree
on your retirement goals and
the financial decisions that will
get you there. Start talking
about priorities: Do you want to
relocate? Stay close to the
grandkids? Are you emotional-
ly and physically ready for
retirement? How long will each
of you keep working, and how
will that affect the income
streams youll rely on when
those paychecks stop?
Make a budget. Most people
think their expenses will go
down after they retire, but usu-
ally that doesnt happen. Your
wardrobe budget might go
down when you arent working,
but other expenses might go up
if you travel, enjoy new hob-
bies, or start going out more for
dinner, movies and concerts.
Know where your money will
come from. Most financial pro-
fessionals agree that income is
king when it comes to retire-
ment planning. A pile of scat-
tered paperwork and account
statements is not a plan. A good
advisor can help you maximize

Mountains of Windsor County is easily accessible from the inter-
states and part of the Crossroads of Vermont Scenic Byway. The
Billings Farm and MBR National Park are both members of

As our hosts and partners, these venues provide an appealing
backdrop. The ambiance of the Billings Farm loft and grounds
are the perfect complement for fine furniture and wood products
crafted in Vermont. Add to this the allure of fall foliage that
attracts thousands of visitors, and you have a recipe for success!
Take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your fine crafts-

The scenic backdrop of the Farm along with live music provides
a perfect accompaniment for shopping or watching demonstra-
tions. Just across the street, visitors can enjoy horse-drawn wagon
rides, forest walks, additional woodworking demonstrations,
make your own wood crafting and other family activities at
Vermont's only National Park.

some other folks who write
about hiking crazy by how I
deviate from a simple, straight
forward piece of writing about

writing about fall foliage and a
hike that takes us through the
day with what I call an attitude
for gratitude. Over the past few
years Ive started off that list
with a little black and white
dog, the mountains we live in,
our story thats
been published not just by this
newspaper every two weeks but
also by HarperCollins in book
form, and more than any of that,
I am thankful for this simpler
more soulful existence weve
found a way to live. Not every-
one finds their dreams in this
lifetime. And fewer still can
live them on a daily basis.
Thats how fortunate I am. But
what makes our life all the bet-
ter is that from time to time we
can take our passion and use it
to make someone elses life just
a little better. What could be
better than doing what you love
and have it impact someone
elses life? Through the years
weve used our hiking as a way
to raise money and awareness

again. But every now and then

share this intimate corner of our
lives with them. Over the next

just that. We have this elderly
friendhis name is Will. Hes
mostly blind to the point where
he can see only shapes and
shadows. He is deaf and
arthritic and when we met him
in May he could barely
walk and he was in such pain he
didnt liked to be touched. Like
Atticus he is a miniature
schnauzer and through an
inconceivable twist of fate, the
family he lived with for the
entire fifteen years of his life
dropped him off in a kill shelter
in New Jersey. Fortunately for
Will, the New Jersey Schnauzer
Rescue Network swooped in
and saved his life. But they
knew they had a difficult case
on their hands and would have
wondered out loud in conversa-
tions with our vet Christine
OConnell how long I should
keep him alive before relieving
him of his misery. For miser-
able he was. And who wouldnt
be? Live with a family for the
entirety of your life and when
you are blind and deaf and in
such pain all you want to do is
bite someone when they try to
touch you, abandoned in place
where you are behind bars,
unfamiliar with your surround-
ings, quite frightened, and left
to die. It had to be overwhelm-
ing for him. Just the thought of
such despair crushes me even
today. The only reason we took
Will in was to give him a place
to die in dignity. He deserved
that. We
all do. But a funny thing hap-

nt die. Nor did he die the sec-

Sports to see if he feels com-

goes well, the following day
my two best friends will lead
Will and I up a mountain. Over
the last five months Will has
developed quite a fan club. His
story resonates with many
folks who gain strength from
his resilience and understand
that if it wasnt too late for him
to love, and be loved, and to
live, then its not too late for
them to have those gifts as
well. Five months ago, a little
blind dog was left to die alone
in a shelter. This weekend he
could be sitting on top of a
mountain, loved, and adored.
Some mountains take five
months to climb, some jour-
neys take a lifetime, and Will
reminds us that its never too
late to find your way home.

Today that story is very differ-
ent because since 2009 it has
steadily declined in usage as
people opted to stay with
Windows XP or adopt Windows
7 as their new operating system.
If you do the math based on 1.5
billion PCs being out there in
the world, then there are still
25.5 million computers running
Windows Vista today.
Therefore, what options are
available for those die-hard
Windows Vista users to get
themselves on an updated oper-
ating system?
New Computer
Since Windows Vista came out
in January 2007, hardware has
come a long way. Even with
the high-end hardware that was
needed to run the operating sys-
tem decently it is now outdated
technology from 9 years ago.
Everything is faster these days
from processors, to memory,
motherboards, hard drives, etc.
The performance bump that is
possible just by purchasing new
hardware will knock your
Windows Vista loving socks
off.
In addition, any new hardware
purchased today will likely
have Windows 10 installed by
default and it is the most secure
operating system released by
Microsoft. That means you will
get a bump for your security
profile and performance in one
fell swoop.
Upgrade to Windows 7
Currently the most popular ver-
sion of Windows is in Extended
Support until 14 January 2020.
That means the OS will contin-
ue to receive security updates if
any vulnerabilities are found.

Seniors and Kidney
Health
By Martha Swats,
Owner/Administrator,
Comfort Keepers
What Do the Kidneys Do?
Physical well-being is contin-
gent upon the health of all of
our organs, and while the areas
of focus for seniors may often
be the heart and brain, the kid-
neys are just as important and
should demand the same level
of care and attention.
Located to the left and right of
the spine, below the rib cage,
these bean-shaped organs may
not always be top of mind, but
the importance of their roles in
supporting the bodys equilibri-
um cannot be overstated. In
addition to filtering the blood
and removing waste and excess
water from the body, the kid-
neys also control blood pres-
sure, produce essential hor-
mones, and balance pH levels.
Chronic Kidney Disease
As we age, it can be a difficult
for the kidneys to function at
their optimum level.
Additionally, certain conditions
and factors such as high blood
pressure, diabetes, and obesity
can negatively affect the func-
tionality of the kidneys, poten-
tially resulting in chronic kid-
ney disease (CKD). Generally,
CKD is defined as the loss in
kidney function over an extend-
ed period of time. Symptoms do
not usually manifest until the
disease is in an advanced stage,
but they include:
Increased fatigue
Constant thirst
Shortness of breath
Increased frequency of urina-
tion
Skin rashes
Difficulty managing diabetes or
high blood pressure
As these symptoms are subtle
and can apply to any number of
other conditions, the only way
to know if you have kidney dis-
ease is through blood and urine
tests. If CKD goes unchecked,
not only do wastes continually
collect in the body, but it may
even lead to kidney failure
meaning that the kidneys func-
tionality has been reduced to
less than 15%.
Should kidney failure come
into play, there are treatment
options available, including
dialysis or a kidney transplant.
However, seniors do not have to
wait for things to get worse
before they can get better. Risk
reduction, through adjustments
in diet and lifestyle and diligent
monitoring, can make a big
impact on kidney health (and
overall well-being). Here are
some recommendations for sen-
iors age 65 or older.
Ways to Support Healthy providing in-home care con-
Page B-9 March 10 , 2017 northcountrynewsnh.com |NORTHCOUNTRYNEWS
North Country Classifieds & More!
Kidneys
Diet
Drink plenty of water. As a
general rule of thumb, stick to
eight 8-ounce glasses (or about
2 liters) throughout the course
of the day.
Consume foods low in salt,
sugar, and fat and look for
labels that contain the words
whole grains
Purchase fresh produce, instead
of their canned or processed
counterparts.
Discuss kidney-friendly diets,
and any diet change in general,
with a physician or dietician.
Lifestyle
Do not smoke, or take steps to
quit smoking.
Limit alcohol consumption.
Incorporate at least 30 minutes
of moderate physical activity
into your daily schedule. Be
sure to consult a doctor or
physician before beginning any
exercise regimen.
Maintain a healthy weight, and
lose weight if you are currently
overweight.
Health Monitoring
Rigorously manage blood
sugar levels, especially if you
have diabetes. Be sure to abide
by your doctors instructions in
regard to insulin and blood
sugar monitoring.
Keep blood pressure in check.
Talk to your doctor about
options for using anti-hyperten-
sive drugs, designed to lower
blood pressure, such as ACE
inhibitors or angiotensin block-
ers.
Get an annual screening, espe-
cially if you have any of the
risk factors associated with kid-
ney disease.
Kidney Disease Is Not
Inevitable
Seniors may feel they do not
have a choice when it comes to
the health of their kidneys.
While it is true that kidney
functionality does naturally
diminish over time due to the
decrease in kidney tissue and
filtering units, advanced age
does not solely trigger kidney
disease. Encourage your senior
loved ones to incorporate the
tips listed above to help reduce
the risk of kidney disease and
other health conditions.

Credit Card Crisis
The battle with credit card debt can be a constant
struggle against high interest rates and monthly pay-
ments that never seem to make a dent in what you
owe. How is it possible to make monthly credit card
payments and never get anywhere?
This problem is caused by high interest rates that
eats up most of your payments. Even though you
make your minimum payment, you dont make
much headway eliminating the debt.

Luckily, theres a way to find debt relief without in-
curring more debts. Using certified credit counseling
like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional
advice to identify the right solution for your needs.
A certified credit counselor can review your op-
tions to see which solution is best for you. You
can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate

The Outside Story
Snow Buntings: Nomads
from the North
Author: Susan Shea
Driving to town on a winter
day, I occasionally see flocks of
white birds where the wind
sweeps across fields, blowing
snow across the road and
exposing the grass. Rising and
falling, the birds look like giant
snowflakes tossed about by a
storm. A closer look reveals that
these birds, though mostly
white, have a rusty cap and
back, black wingtips, and flash-
ing white patches on the under-
sides of their wings. These are
snow buntings, Arctic breeders
with a circumpolar distribution
that winter in the northern
United States, northern Europe,
and central Asia.
Snow buntings, also called
snowbirds, are attracted to
fields, where they feed on grass
and weed seeds on the ground,
and perch on dried stalks to
feed on seedheads. Asters and
goldenrods are common foods.
Flocks travel around in the win-
ter, searching for the next meal.
You never know when youll
see them they are quite
of these birds have been on the
seacoast, where snow buntings
frequent sand dunes and salt
marshes and feed on tiny crus-
taceans and other marine life as
well as seeds. Flocks of snow
buntings are often accompa-
nied by smaller numbers of
other Arctic birds such as
horned larks and Lapland
longspurs.
Snow buntings typically begin
arriving in northern New
England in mid-October and
are common by early
November. They migrate at
night. Experiments have shown
they navigate by using the
earths magnetic field in addi-
tion to the stars. Males and
females tend to winter in sepa-
rate flocks. The larger (and
probably more cold-tolerant)
males winter farther north, per-

Male snow buntings begin to

plumage in late winter,
explained McFarland. They
lose the touches of brown, and
their pure white feathers and
black backs make them espe-
cially striking. By mid-
February, they begin to depart
on their journey to the high
Arctic. The females dont fol-
low for another four to six
weeks, but are all gone by
April.

Winter Bird Rehab

An injured barred owl sat in the
back seat of a four-door sedan,
staring balefully out the win-
dow at its rescuer. I saw him
on the side of the road, just sit-
ting there, trying to fly, the
young woman explained to

whisking it inside her house, to

her warm kitchen. The owl
panicked, making clicking
noises and trying to fly, but
Colby kept a firm hold as she
administered a few droplets of
pain medication into its beak.
Then she carried the owl into
her triage room and placed it in
a small pet carrier. She
explained that she would let it
rest for twenty minutes until
the pain medication kicked in,
then do an evaluation and con-
sult with her local veterinarian.
She would also report the owl
to both federal and state fish
and wildlife departments.
Can I call you to see how its
doing? the young woman
asked.
Of course, Colby assured her.
Ill know more in a few days. owls that have no eye injuries;
Wings of the Dawn, located in
Henniker, New Hampshire, has
been rehabilitating wildlife for
nearly thirty years. Colby is the
organizations only full-time
staff member, but many others
are involved, including a group
of dedicated volunteers. With
their help, in 2016, Colby res-
cued over 500 birds and 200
mammals. Her bird patients
have included owls and hawks,
bald eagles, loons, ducks, song-
birds, pigeons, sparrows, and
crows. She has also cared for
foxes, skunks, fishers, rac-
coons, possums, and even a
bobcat and a bear cub.
This time of year, Colby mostly
sees barred owls. They may be
hit by cars, fly into windows, or
if there is heavy snowfall, sim-
ply be weakened from hunger.
Day or night, including week-
ends and holidays, Colbys
phone will ring. Im always on
call, she said firmly.
Wildlife rehabilitation is espe-
cially tricky business in winter.
The deck is stacked against ani-
mals that are vulnerable due to
stress from an injury. Colby
wont even release rehabbed
patients until late February or
early March, in order to give
them the best possible chance
at survival. The exceptions to
this rule are rescued barred
perches and heat lamps. As the
if an owl can fly and has full
vision, she will release it as
soon as it is healed.
The Vermont Institute of
Natural Science (VINS) in
Quechee, Vermont, also res-
cues and rehabilitates birds
throughout the year, and takes
special precautions to make
sure that winter-released
patients have a good chance of
enduring the harsh conditions.
According to Lauren Adams,
Lead Wildlife Keeper at VINS,
of particular concern are migra-
tory birds that are injured or
lose their flock. A bird that is
meant to fly south for the win-
ter is unlikely to survive up
here, and VINS provides help
by arranging transport down to
another wildlife sanctuary in a
more habitable climate.
VINS is also the frequent recip-
ient of injured barred owls. At
their wildlife hospital, just like
at Wings of the Dawn, the first
stage is triage. Large birds are
placed in a pet carrier or cage
that is covered with towels to
reduce stress. Smaller birds are
placed in towel-lined plastic
tubs. Pain and anti-inflammato-
ry medications are adminis-
tered, as well as fluids to keep
the bird hydrated. Once a bird
shows signs of recovery, staff
move it to a larger stall with
VINS and Wings of the Dawn,
bird becomes even stronger,
staff may place it in a large out-
side enclosure. Since standing
water will freeze in the winter,
wild birds often get fluids via
their food. For raptors, VINS
injects dead rodents with water
and places them on heat disks
to prevent an unappetizing
mouse-cicle effect.
Eventually, recovering birds of
prey are placed in a flight cage.
The flight cage is approximate-
ly twenty feet long, and
includes ladders, perches, and
ramps designed to help the bird
exercise its flight and hunting
behaviors. The cage is L-
shaped in order to facilitate and
encourage the turning maneu-
vers required for hunting.
Like Colby, the VINS staff is
careful about the timing of win-
ter releases. According to
Adams, another concern is that
healed birds can re-injure
themselves in captivity by
attempting to escape, so once
they are healthy enough to hunt
and fly, out they go. The staff at
VINS will check the weather
and pick a nice day with no
freezing rain in the forecast,
and no heavy winds. We know
weve given them their best
chance to survive, said
Adams. We wish them luck.

To the Editor:
Unbelievably, Democratic

Congress rejected not only his
plans but the very idea that
American Presidents should put
the interests of our country and
American Citizens rst.
It's understandable that
Democrats oppose repealing
Obamacare; its been a nearly
century old dream that
Democrats felt would ensure
their eternal control of our gov-
ernment. To them that justified
implementing Obamacare
against the clearly expressed
wishes of the American people,
without prior open review, and
without Republican input or
support.
Obamacare hurts far more
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (page 28 )
Americans than it helps,
although we only hear about the
approximately 6% more
Americans insured with money
taken from others, including
hard-working struggling tax-
payers.
But, almost all of the 85% of
the American people who previ-
ously had health insurance suf-
fered because Obamacare
increased premiums, reduced
choices, reduced wage increas-
es, reduced access to medical
care, forced harmful changes on
our healthcare system,
increased medical device and
service costs, and/or lost jobs.
Obamacare also took $700 bil-
lion out of the already inade-
quate Medicare Trust Fund fur-
ther jeopardizing future health-
care for seniors.

despite everything, about 9% of

President Trumps proposals,
including repealing and replac-
ing Obamacare, arent radical
or, in a political environment
dedicated to helping the
American people, difficult to
achieve.
Any President could ask busi-

Gratitude; The Simple Gratitude is a big perspective COLLEGE EQUALS
Way To Motivate shifter. When the boss routinely OPPORTUNITY (CEO)
And Inspire Your Employees
Many traits are associated with
strong leaders. Theyre confi-
dent, theyre passionate and
theyre decisive.
But one critical leadership
characteristic that doesnt
always get the attention it
deserves is gratitude letting
employees know that their hard
work is appreciated.
In other words, the best leaders
know how to say, Thank you.
They also realize that, to truly
show gratitude to others, they
need to take time to be grateful
for themselves and for where
they are today. From there, the
gratitude emanates out to the
others around them, making the
entire organization stronger in
the process.
The power of any organization
is the collective energy of the
people, says Brad Deutser,
president of Deutser LLC
(www.deutser.com), a culture
consultancy that advises lead-
ers and organizations facing
transition, growth or crisis.
Strong leaders recognize that
its their people who form the
soul of the company and who
are directly responsible for the
success of the organization, and
often the leader.
When employees feel that
theyre working for a leader
who is engaged and is thankful
for their efforts, he says, it cre-
ates a better environment and
instills loyalty. And, it drives
performance inside and outside
the company.
If you dont take the time to
thank people and appreciate
people, I think youre missing
the greatest opportunity to con-
nect with them, Deutser says.
People respond to it and it
makes the work that much
more meaningful to them and
that much more impactful to
you. Its one of the best motiva-
tors and it just plain makes
them happy.
And when employees are hap-
pier, that can lead to even
greater productivity. Shawn
Achor, acclaimed Harvard
researcher and author of The
Happiness Advantage, has
demonstrated through his
research that when people work
with a positive mindset they
perform better in the face of a
challenge and every business
outcome improves.
Deutser says a few things worth
knowing about gratitude and its
effect on an organizations cul-
ture include:
Authenticity is essential.
People arent easily fooled by
insincerity. Gratitude is some-
thing leaders need to really
feel, not just be feigning
because theyve been told its
important. If your gratitude
doesnt come across as real or
if its not founded in something
you truly are grateful for, then
the inauthenticity shows
through, Deutser says.
expresses gratitude, employees
are inspired to take challenging
situations and reframe them in a
way that reminds them some-
thing positive and good comes
from them. Its about creating
positive energy, Deutser says.
Its about creating a positive
workforce. And, its about
understanding the direct corre-
lation between positivity and
performance.
Your willingness to show grat-
itude can rub off on others.
Gratitude is very contagious,
Deutser says. When people in
an organization see their leader
doing it, then youll find that
they will follow along and that
makes your organizations cul-
ture even more positive. We
live in a world where were
bombarded with negativity.
And when you inject gratitude,
being grateful for what is good,
for what is pure, for what is
true, for what is real, for what is
right, youre able to change the
environment.
At the end of the day, the more
appreciated people feel the
more willing they are to do a
great job the next time,
Deutser says. I dont care who
you are, you like being told
youve done well and that
youre appreciated. That goes
for the leader, too.

Born in Boston to Lester C. and
Mabel A. (Johnson) Hotz and
raised in Roslindale MA. He
enlisted in the Army in July,
1943 and served as an Engineer

sheep, a goat, many dogs and a
cat.
In 1962 Lester started his
own auto repair business at "the
Old Regent Garage" on the cor-
ner of Bridge and Pine Streets
in Manchester. He purchased
and renovated 76 Summer
Street in 1968 which was home
to Kettle Cove Preservatives.
The property served as a full-
service gas, repair, and automo-
bile inspection station under the
Texaco brand. He was a talent-
ed auto mechanic who was
trusted by many.
Despite his fear of heights,
Gloria gave Lester flying les-
sons as a gift in 1969. Lester
quickly discovered he adored
flying and earned his private
pilot's single engine license.
His primary planes were
Cessna 150 and Skyhawk mod-
els. Due to his confidence and
demeanor, close friend and cor-
porate jet pilot Captain Bruce
Gilson considered him one of
the smoothest pilots he ever
flew with.
In 1969, Lester and Gloria
purchased a lovely summer
home abutting the White
Mountain National Forest from
Lester's Aunt Mildred and
Uncle Bob in Warren, NH. The
home is believed to be the old-
est dwelling in the small town
with tax records dating back to
1763.
Lester and Gloria traveled
extensively throughout Asia,
Central and South America, as
well as the Southern United
States and Hawaiian Islands.
Their journeys brought them
many memories such as seeing
the Komodo Dragons in
Borneo, the Incan Ruins in
Peru, and the wonders of the
