Exotic Wildlife And Plants: Okay To Enjoy, But Be Responsible_
Looked what popped up! A nice picture of an otter. Today, otters live in nearly all the rivers,
streams, lakes and ponds in New Hampshire. This has not always been the case. Early histori-
ans described otters as being common throughout the state, but unregulated trapping and hunt-
ing, pollution of water and elimination of beaver - whose dams create otter habitat - led to the
near demise of the otter in the state by the late 1800s.

NH Grand to work with North
Country OHRV Coalition to
develop marketing plan and
promote long-planned initiative
in and out of county
Ride the Wilds, Coos County,
NH, the new 1,000+ mile inter-
connected All-Terrain-Vehicle
(ATV) trail system throughout
northern New Hampshire has
unveiled its new logo and had
its grand opening last Saturday.
According to Harry Brown,
President of the North Country
OHRV Coalition, the all-day
event was be held at Coleman
State Park in Stewartstown The
schedule began with a greeting
and brief history of the trails
project by Brown, which were-
followed by a few words from
various state agencies, and an
official ribbon cutting to launch
the Ride the Wilds interconnect-
ed trail system.
We are very confident that the
1,000-mile-long interconnected
ATV trail system in Cos
County our very own Ride
The Wilds will be ready for
summer riding, said Brown.
Ride the Wilds is more than a
trail system; it is an economic
engine which will drive busi-
ness to local shops, restaurants,
and properties.
Many people throughout Coos
County, including sixteen
OHRV clubs and their members,
local community business lead-
ers, Boards of Selectmen, the
Cos County Commissioners
and the County Legislative
Delegation have worked hard to
make this happen, Brown
explained. In addition, two state
agencies were working partners

The popularity of having exotic
plants and animals as pets is a
trend that can potentially put our
native fish and wildlife habitats
at risk. It is important for the
public to be aware that invasive
fish and wildlife can disrupt the
local ecology and can out-com-
pete native species. They should
never be released.
Almost everyone has found
enjoyment in stopping to view a
water garden or an aquarium at
a local restaurant or spa. There
are local contractors that will
come to your home and install a
peaceful, cascading waterfall
that includes a pond liner, pump
and filter assembly. Many home
improvement stores have ready-
made kits for you to install on
your own. These water gardens
add a very relaxing and aesthet-
ically pleasing landscaping
touch to a home or business. We
have a lovely "Planting for
Wildlife" habitat/pond area at
the entrance to the Fish and
Game Department in Concord.

in the development and imple-
mentation of the Ride the Wilds
- the Bureau of Trails being the
lead agency for the Department
of Resources and Economic
Development and the
Department of Fish and Game.
ATV riders are going to love
the experience of the connecting
trails and not having to trailer
their vehicles from one location
to another. They will be able to
head out for a day or more, with
opportunities to stop and stay
along the way, said Brown. It
will not only help existing small
businesses, but it will also
encourage new tourism related
businesses to open up, from
restaurants to lodging proper-
ties, and from services to rental
and repair shops. Members of
the OHRV Coalition believe
that connecting the trails will
help bring ATV riders from
around the region and the
Northeast into many North
Country communities such as
Gorham, Berlin, Errol,
Pittsburg, Stewartstown,
Colebrook, Stratford, Groveton,
and Lancaster.
The Coalition consists of the
sixteen OHRV clubs along with
two Coos County Chambers of
Commerce. Each organization
has one board member serving
on the Coalition. New
Hampshire Grand recently
assisted the Coalition in the
facilitation of a strategic mes-
saging session with all the clubs
interested in working together
for the success of the intercon-
nected trail system. As a result
of several work sessions, the
interconnecting trail name was
created Ride the Wilds - and a
logo was developed. Next steps
by New Hampshire Grand, in
conjunction with the Coalition,
is the development of a website
and common signage, easily
accessible maps, and the possi-
bility of mobile apps.
The North Country OHRV
Coalition recently received a
$15,000 grant from the Coos
Economic Development
Corporation to develop and exe-
cute a marketing plan to pro-
mote the initiative. New
Hampshire Grand will aid in the
marketing effort.

North Country Home Health
and Hospice Agency is pleased
to announce the annual hospice
training, scheduled in Littleton
this fall. The agency enjoys a
wonderful corps of volunteers,
but new volunteers are needed
to meet the growing number of
patients and families in the 22
communities served.
Hospice is considered to be the
model for quality, compassion-
ate care for people who are fac-
ing a life-limiting illness which
no longer responds to cure-ori-
ented treatment. Patients needs
and wishes are met through a
team-oriented approach of
expert medical care, pain man-
agement, emotional and spiritu-
al support, and volunteer serv-
ice.
The philosophy of hospice is
based on the belief that provid-
ing support and comfort for
individuals at the end of life
protects dignity, allows patients
to remain as active as possible,
and to live a higher quality of
life.
Volunteers provide important
services to hospice families.
They serve wherever patients
reside, whether in their own
home, an assisted living center,
nursing home, or during a peri-
od of hospitalization. They
offer emotional support and
companionship, help with rou-
tine tasks, run errands, grocery
shop, prepare meals, wash laun-
dry and do light housekeeping,
or reminisce and record life sto-
ries. Volunteers may also assist
staff in the hospice office, or
participate in community out-
reach and fundraising. Many
share special talents such as
Reiki, massage, pet therapy, or
music therapy and aromathera-
py.
The six-evening, 18 hour train-
ing prepares volunteers by
expanding their understanding
of the hospice program, the
needs of the dying, pain man-
agement and comfort care, grief
and bereavement, and commu-
nication with the hospice fami-
ly. There is no charge to partic-
ipate in the training program
which will be held at Littleton
Regional Hospital on Tuesday
evenings, beginning September
3rd.
Preregistration is required. For
more info, contact Sue Buteau,
Hospice Volunteer Coordinator
for North Country Home Health
and Hospice, at 444-5317 or

COOKIN
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,
Im a man, yes, I am....
Authorities arrested an Oregon
man who they say attempted to
rape his wife before killing a
lamb. Sheriffs spokeswoman
Andrea Carlson says 46-year-
old Leland Kinkey of Eagle
Point was running around his
property naked, screaming and
splattered with blood. Kinkey
allegedly told deputies he
slammed a lamb into a vehicle
and then broke its neck because
he was trying to be a man.
Witnesses told police that
Kinkey had earlier tried to rape
his wife in front of their two
children after getting angry
with a vehicle. Carlson says
two other adults who live on the
property stopped the attack and
called 911. Kinkey has been
charged with assault, kidnap-
ping, strangulation, attempted
rape and aggravated animal
abuse. Bail was set at more than
$1 million.
[www.gazettetimes.com]
Next, revenge! A former stu-
dent who posed naked on a
Lincoln Catholic high school
campus has been cited by
Lincoln police for trespassing
and public nudity. Nineteen-
year-old Valerie Dodds struck
various poses on the football
field at Lincoln Piux X early
one morning recently. The pho-
tos were posted on her website.
Dodds said on her site that the
photo shoot was revenge against
students and teachers who gave
Dodds grief when she shared
her plans for a career in porn.
She returned and stood in front
of the school wearing only
panties and pasties. That brief
attire kept her on the lawful side
of the citys ordinance covering
public nudity.
Finally, Keith Judd filed a
lawsuit in Iowa last month to try
to invalidate the 2012 election
by having President Obama
officially declared a Kenyan and
not an American. Judd filed the
papers from a federal peniten-
tiary in Texas, where he is serv-
ing 17 years for threatening a
woman he believed to be a
clone of the singer Stevie
Nicks, because Nicks (or the
clone) had tried to sabotage his
home improvement company.
(Bonus Fact: In the 2012
Democratic presidential pri-
mary in West Virginia, Judd, a
write-in candidate, defeated
President Obama in nine coun-
ties and lost the state by only
33,000 votes.) [Des Moines
Register]
Adding some excitement to
the game! A round of golf
between acquaintances ended
with one man stabbed in the arm
on the 12th hole with a broken 5
iron and the other under arrest.
The Oakland County sheriffs
office said that the pair was part
of a foursome playing at the
Westwynd Golf Course. A 59-
year-old man Oakland
Township man broke his golf
club over a 65-year-old West
Bloomfield mans arm during
an argument over the score. He
then stabbed the victim in the
arm with the club. The other two
golfers held down the attacker
as the victim fled in a golf cart
to the clubhouse. Deputies later
arrested the attacker at his home
for felonious assault.
[www.azcentral.com]
Pushing the envelope a bit here,
but an East Moline mans facing
charges in Rock Island after
authorities say he snatched a
police officers gun and then
grabbed and squeezed the offi-
cers, uh, well, uh, testicles. The
Rock Island Argus reports 60-
year-old Edward White Johnson
was arrested and is being held
on $100,000 bond after being
charged with felonies for battery
and disarming a police officer.
He also faces misdemeanors for
aggravated assault and disorder-
ly conduct. Hes set to have a
preliminary hearing next week.
Being the eternal optimist, I
guess if a perp has the gun, it
could have been worse, much
worse.
From PJ, my Canadian Bureau
Chief, some terribly sexist
jokes: (1) Ladies, if a man say
hell fix it, he will. Theres no
need to remind him every six
months about it. (2) My mother-
in-laws coming ... I have to
clear out one side of my closet
so she can have a place to hang
upside down to sleep. (3) If
there were a way to read a
womans mind, Im not sure I
would want to. I hate shoes,
shopping, gossip, and I already
know Im annoying. (4) Men
have feelings, too. For example,
we feel hungry. (5) NASAs
robot, Curiosity, landed on
Mars. Early pictures show no
signs of ESPN, beer or porn.
This makes it very clear that
men are not from Mars. (No
complaints please. They are
jokes!)
Finally, more people NOT
doing the right thing! A mother
arrived early to pick up her child
from a daycare in the St. Vital
neighborhood of Winnipeg,
Man., Canada, and indeed found
the child. And five other chil-
dren aged 1 to 5. What she
didnt find was any adult watch-
ing the children. The parent
called police, who waited for
more than an hour for the unli-
censed daycare operator to
return, at which time the
unnamed 33-year-old woman
was charged with child aban-
donment. Pat Wege, executive
director of the Manitoba Child
Care Association, notes there
are 420 licensed home daycares
in the province and thou-
sands of unlicensed ones.
Licenses are free; to get one, a
childcare provider simply has to
pass a basic class, and a back-
ground check. [Winnipeg Sun]
Makes me wonder how many
other things are happening we
dont know about until we do?
Too many, I am convinced!

It's important to note that our
water garden does not include
any invasive fish (in fact there
are no fish at all in it) or inva-
sive plants.
When you add fish to water gar-
dens, it's another story that can
go like this: Its summer; the
temperatures are hot and all
seems wonderful. But in a few
months, the temperature will be
falling. What will people who
have added fish to their water
gardens do with these fish when
the season changes? I hope they
are planning ahead and have an
environmentally safe plan for
holding those exotic fish and
plants through the winter? In
many cases, not having a plan or
the logistics to store these fish
appropriately leads to a prob-
lem. Understandably, people
become emotionally attached to
these "pets." If they cannot find
alternatives to maintain them,
euthanization is unthinkable.
Many times, these fish are
released into local fire ponds at
housing developments or city
parks. Or worse, into local
ponds and streams! This irre-
sponsible action can have dev-
astating results, because some
of these exotic fish or ornamen-
tal plants and animals that peo-
ple enjoy looking at in their
aquariums
or water gardens have become
aquatic nuisance species prob-
lems, disrupting the native plant
and animal communities.
Invasive wildlife can disrupt the
local ecology and can out-com-
pete native species due to higher
tolerance to poor water quality
and/or high reproductive rates.
Another scenario: Most families
I know have at some point
enjoyed an aquarium for pet
fish. It is easy to understand the
popularity of this practice,
because of the peace, tranquility
and relaxation that they provide.
Many parents use aquarium fish
to teach their children the
responsibility of pet ownership
prior to purchasing a dog or cat.
But what happens to these exot-
ic fish when once-responsible
owners, with good intentions,
no longer have the interest in
caring for them? When circum-
stances change and someone is
forced to move to a new loca-
tion where having these pets is
not an option, where do these
fish end up?
Just recently, I received a call
about a fish kill at Whites Park
Pond in Concord. Having grown
up in Concord myself, I knew
exactly what pond the park
manager was referring to. In
fact, I remember visiting this
very pond on my bicycle to
enjoy these fish myself. When
exactly? I wont tell, to prevent
from revealing my age! When I
arrived at scene of the recent
incident, I observed what I
anticipated. A shallow pond
with an unusually high number
of (overpopulated with) gold-
fish, koi and bluegill, crowding
the perimeter of the pond guard-
ing spawning nests. Having
enjoyed the Whites Park Pond
fish experience in the past, I was
saddened to see what was hap-
pening.
My professional career has
blessed me enough to allow me
to work with fish every day. I
chose this career because I
believe in conservation of New
Hampshire fish and wildlife
resources. Years ago, I never
would have put much thought
into how these fish may have
gotten there, and certainly was-
nt aware of the risk these fish
were presenting. But the fact is,
many of these exotic species are
present due to the acts of people
with big hearts, good intentions
or people who are simply
unaware of the damage it can
cause. As a long time dog and
aquarium owner myself, I
would never condemn anyone
for loving their pets.
Unfortunately, there is no shel-
ter for fish to reside until adop-
tion, if the original owner can
no longer care for them.
Koi and goldfish are exotic
species that must not get into
state waters. One reason is that
koi and goldfish can present a
health risk to native fish species.
Ornamental fish raised in cap-
tivity have developed resistance
to certain diseases, due to the
typically stress free environ-
ment of an artificial setting. Koi
and goldfish that appear healthy
can be carriers of pathogens
such as Koi Herpes Virus
(KHV) and Spring Viremia of
Carp Virus (SVCv). SVCv, in
particular, can cause serious
problems in wild baitfish popu-
lations. Many of our wild and
native fishes have never been
exposed to some of these
emerging pathogens. Therefore,
many of our wild fishes have
never had the opportunity to
develop an immune resistance
to these potential diseases. This
is why all baitfish and fish being
imported for aquaculture must
pass a pathological inspection
prior to an import being
approved.
The New Hampshire Fish and
Game Department, by
Administrative Rules, lists all
ornamental or aquarium fish as
non-controlled provided they
remain in a closed system.
These same rules prohibit the
release of any fish and wildlife
without a permit so to do. Some
other states, Maine, for exam-
ple, prohibit the possession of
koi completely. Please help us
protect the natural resources of
New Hampshire by being con-
scious of the fact that those
plants and animals you enjoy in
your water garden or aquarium
are illegal to release into the
wild, where they threaten native
wildlife.

posing of unwanted aquarium

A new Granite State hiking
memoir authored by Dan
Szczesny of Manchester has just
been published by Bondcliff
Books of Littleton, New
Hampshire. The Adventures of
Buffalo and Tough Cookie is
80 percent memoir and 20 per-
cent guidebook, according to
publisher Mike Dickerman. The
book chronicles the trail adven-
tures of the author and his
young but ambitious hiking
partner during their year-long
quest to reach all the summits
on the 52 With a View New
Hampshire mountain list. Along
the way, the pair form a unique
and unforgettable bond that
transforms both their lives in
ways the author never anticipat-
ed.
The authors stylish, sincere
prose is sure to touch the hearts
of all readers, whether a peak-
bagger or an armchair hiker.
Patricia Herr, author of last
years bestselling book,
Up: A Mother and
Daughters Peakbagging
Adventure, writes in her
foreword to the book that
not only did the author
and his pre-teen hiking
partner, Janelle, share
outdoor adventures, but
they forged a friendship
that bridged the tradition-
al gaps of age and gender.
Theirs is a team not
formed of traditional
family ties but, instead,
an earned and mutual
respect. Dan and Janelle
are a unique and inspiring
duo.
In the course of their
mountains travels, the
hikers find themselves
tramping up footpaths
from one end of the
Granite State to the other.
Among the peaks
climbed in their hiking
quest are popular sum-
mits such as Mount Monadnock
in southwestern New
Hampshire, Mounts Cardigan
and Kearsarge in the south-cen-
tral part of the state, and Mount
Willard in Crawford Notch
State Park. Their travels also
took them to a number of
remote mountaintops in the
North Country, including
Sugarloaf in the Nash Stream
area and Mount Magalloway in
New Hampshires northernmost
town, Pittsburg.
Dan Szczesny is the associate
publisher of The Hippo, New
Hampshires largest weekly
newspaper, based in
Manchester. He came to the
Granite State via a number of
news departments from Buffalo
to Philadelphia to New Jersey.
An avid New England hiker and
member of the Appalachian
Mountain Clubs White
Mountains 4,000-Footer Club,
Dan was married atop Mount
Lafayette. He also traveled to
Nepal and trekked to Everest
Base Camp. Excerpts from his
travelogue of the journey, The
Nepal Chronicles, can be
found online at
www.nepalchronicles.word-
press.com. He lives in
Manchester with his wife,
Meenakshi.
Bondcliff Books is an independ-
ent book publisher specializing
in titles related to New
Hampshire and the White
Mountains. Since its founding
in 1996, the Littleton company
has published several dozen
books, including hiking guides
and books on White Mountain
logging and railroading history.
The Adventures of Buffalo and
Tough Cookie is now available
in retail stores across the
Granite State. Copies may also
be purchased directly from the
publisher by visiting Bondcliff
Books website (www.bond-
cliffbooks.com), by calling 603-

Littleton, NH 03561.

My broken foot - getting better
by the week - still aches occa-
sionally so I'm giving it a little
longer rest before hitting the
hiking trails. Over the past six
weeks Atticus has been more
than a little patient with me and
whenever I get frustrated about
missing so much great hiking
weather I remind myself (as I
swat black flies on the back of
my neck in the backyard) that in
another two weeks we will be
back on a mountaintop, my foot
will be healed (or well enough
to hike), and the thick of black
fly season will be gone.
So today I'm sitting at my writ-
ing desk looking at a map, and
daydreaming about some quiet
time up high away from the con-
stant roar of Bike Week just out-
side of my window. The worn
map traced by my fingers and
smoothed by my hands has been
folded and unfolded more times
than I can remember. And when
Im like this away from the
trails and looking forward to
getting back out there as I'm
studying it, looking at the aging
lines on the paper, I fantasize I
that I am Long John Silver cap-
tivated by a map of Treasure
Island, or Bilbo Baggins with a
crinkled copy of the map to the
Lonely Mountain and all the
treasure hidden inside of it.
Maps have always had that
effect on me. They take me
away from where I am and, at
times, who I am. They fertilize
my imagination and open up
entirely new worlds. Anyone
who hikes can tell you that a
map in the hands of one without
imagination is as flat as the
world before Christopher
Columbus came around. But
for those of us with adventure in
our hearts, paper maps are three
dimensional. We look at where
we will start from and where we
are going to and then we
remember every hike we've ever
taken and how it's never quite
that simple. You don't simply
go from Point A to Point B. It's
not about stopping and ending,
it's about the journey that lies
between the trailhead and the
summit. Hiking, I learned, is a
lot like life. We have our goals,
start out with high hopes, but
along the way the world meets
us and challenges confront us.
Keep the goal in mind and
understand the tests we'll
undoubtedly face and we do
fine, but step away from that
reality and it's all so difficult.
So when I study a map, as I've
been doing all morning with this
crinkled copy of the Chatham
Trails Association, Inc. Map of
the Cold River Valley and Evans
Notch, I keep space in my mind
for the unimaginable. After all,
one never knows what's waiting
for us out there. There are the
outward tests, and then those
that sit within us. Respecting
those two allows us to under-
stand that it's not just about
starting, summiting, returning to
the car, and getting something to
eat afterward. What awaits is
the mystery of the forest, the
sparkling and enchanting
streams and rivers that can
either charm us or sweep us
away if we are not careful; rock
slides; wind and rain; heat and
snow; and the seeds of fear and
thrill of the unknown. It all
adds up to the possibility of
adventure whenever we leave
home, leave the car, and enter
the forest on a shady trail with
only a backpack to carry every-
thing we'll need. What happens
between leaving the known
behind and returning to it is
what makes hiking nearly myth-
ical for us.
As I've elevated, iced, and
wrapped my aching foot over
the past month and a half my
mind has drifted off to the trails
and the golden, diffused light
that pierces the wooded dark-
ness in early morning, the mag-
nificent blue ocean of sky filled
with great billowing ships in the
form of cumulous clouds, and
that sense of working hard to get
to such a heavenly place.
In these tempting daydreams
Im drawn repeatedly to Evans
Notch. It is the forgotten notch
or, for some, the unknown
notch. It exists on the border
between New Hampshire and
Maine and it's not easy to get to,
especially for readers of the
Northcountry News since it's far
to the east and there is no direct
route. Being "forgotten" or
"unknown" also means that
nearly every time we've been
there it's also been quiet and
uncrowded. On a stormy day it
can feel desolate, but on a pitch-
perfect June day it is heavenly,
thanks to the peace that
envelops you on any one of its
peaks.
Since none of the summits come
close to four thousand foot high
the peakbaggers often leave it
alone and that only lends to its
allure. Add in views from the
tops of mountains with names
like Caribou, Blueberry,
Speckled, the Baldfaces, and
Eagle Crag and it even sounds
like something from a different
world. And if you ever have
stood on high on these peaks,
walked along the open ledges,
and taken in the view with nary
another person around you
come to understand that this is
hiking at its purest. No crowds.
Serene trails. A good chance to
see a moose or a bear. And
views glorious, expansive,
and stunning views. Mount
Washington and her neighbors
in the Presidential Range can be
seen in all their glory, but from
this different vantage point they
feel like a world away.
To hike in Evans Notch feels
like playing hooky. Its better
than just going on a hike, its
going on a hike far from the
conga line of Franconia Ridge
or the Crawford Path. Its a step
back in time and into your
unbridled imagination. Its the
kind of hiking you first fell in
love with when you day-
dreamed about getting away
from it all.
So today, as I send this off to my
dear editor, I think I may very
well be crazy for sharing this
special spot with others. Then
again, I know it will never be
overly crowded and thats part
of what makes it so dear to me.
Perhaps well see you there;
most likely though, we wont.
Atticus enjoying one of numerous views from
Caribou in Evans Notch.

I enjoyed the recent article in
the JO on the Kinder Memorial
Forest, a lasting memorial to
the life of a truly special person
Next month another tribute to
Richs life will take place. The
17th Annual Rich Kinder
Memorial Lumberjack Contest
will be held at the North
Haverhill Fair on July 27th.
With these memorials and trib-
utes in mind I thought it would
be appropriate to remember
Rich once again not only for
those who knew him but for
those too young, or new to the
area, to have remembered the
kind of person he was and the
impact he had on his community
and the forestry profession.
Rich had a special presence
about him. Once having met
Rich Kinder you never forgot
who he was. You never forgot
his name. He was a big man,
but what really caught your eye
was that broad and friendly
smile that was so sincere and
comforting, and straight from
the heart. The physical pres-
ence I especially remember was
the hand shake. I have big
hands and like to give people a
good firm greeting, but I always
felt humbled shaking his hand.
After Rich left the Extension
Service for the forest industry, I
had the good fortune of having
him help me, on a part time
basis, in my fledgling consult-
ing forestry business. He did
not need the work but was will-
ing to give me a hand in my
time of need. I was a little
uneasy wondering what hourly
rate to pay a forester of Richs
stature and experience. True to
his nature, Rich said---John ,
pay me whatever you can---that
will be fine with me. We spent
a lot of quality time together
that year building roads and
managing woodlots, and talking
at great lengths about forestry
issues, our towns and our fami-
lies. During that time I came to
know what a special person he
was.
Rich really enjoyed the physical
end of forestryoperating
equipment, using a chain saw,
planting trees, but he was at his
best meeting and working with
people. He was a champion of
the little guy. He especially
enjoyed meeting with and
addressing the concerns of the
folks that have to work the hard-
est---the loggers and truckers
and mill workers. At heart he
was one of them. Rich Kinder
was probably the most recog-
nized, trusted, respected and
well liked person within the
forestry community not only of
NH but all of New England and
NY. He was the forestry profes-
sions good will ambassador.
He was the pillar of his commu-
nity having held most of the
leadership positions in the Town
of Haverhill and within his
church. He genuinely cared for
people and would do whatever
he could to help someone out,
especially the less fortunate and
those he felt were treated unfair-
ly. A local farmer from E.
Haverhill, down on his luck,
was taken ill with no one to do
his chores or milk his cows until
Rich volunteered his time. For
several months, until the farmer
was back on his feet, Rich would
come by at 4 AM every morning
to do the milking and the chores
and then go to his regular job.
He volunteered to do caretaking
duties at his church, he plowed
driveways for those needing a
helping hand at no charge.
During his 19 years as a select-
man he worked many hours with
the road crews when they were
short of help. These were just a
few examples of his kindness
and generosity.
He was so humble, never one to
take credit for something he had
done. He received many per-
sonal awards, but was always
quick to point out that it should
have gone to someone else, or
that he could not have done it
without the help of others. Rich
was first and foremost a family
man. He adored Jan and their
children and grandchildren,
they were his inspiration, his
pride and joy. Their kids were
basketball players, and good
ones too. Very seldom did Jan
and Rich miss any of their
games. Rich was well known
for his cheerleading and exu-
berance. Jan and her family
and all of the supporters of the
memorials to Richs life can be
very proud of their lasting trib-
utes to a very special and
beloved man, a friend to all.
John OBrien
Orford, NH
The game of chicken charading
as our state budget process puts
NH citizens at risk of losing
valuable services and critical
jobs.
The Republican controlled
Senate claimed it had to cut
$300 million from the House
budget. The Department of
Health and Human Services
which touches nearly every res-
ident of New Hampshire will be
handed $40 million less than it
needs and will be forced to
make painful cuts of both servic-
es and personnel.
Additionally, Republicans are
making 50 million dollars in
reckless across the board budg-
et cuts that are projected to
force 700 layoffs. Just as the
economy begins to get on its
feet, this budget will cost criti-
cal jobs that support families
and local economies. Going
along with this scheme is noth-
ing short of irresponsibility on
the part of our elected senator.
On purely partisan grounds,
House and Senate Republicans
have taken positions designed to
damage Governor Hassan and
rebuke President Obama and
pay homage to an ideology that
avoids reality. Senate
Republicans say they refuse to
pass any new taxes, but we have
the red bridges and potholes to
prove it. Our cigarette tax, just
lowered last year, is the lowest
in the Northeast and out of state
big tobacco companies are mak-
ing huge profits at our expense.
To top it off, Senate Republicans
now seek to deny the expansion
of Medicaid in NH and with it
pass up the infusion of approxi-
mately $2.5 billion in federal
dollars. The damage this will
do to our hospitals, our mental
health services and our strug-
gling families is immense. A
nonpartisan study projects that
expanded Medicaid would cut
bad debt and charity care for
New Hampshire hospitals in
half.
Government is instituted to pro-
vide services to its citizens.
These services are not hand-
outs; they are paid for in prop-
erty taxes, road tolls, rooms and
meals fees and so on. We
depend on these servicesthe
roads, the schools, the environ-
mental protections to name just
a fewin order to live in this
state, get to our jobs and give
back in terms of goods, services
and revenue. But government
cannot do its job without a
source of revenue, and
Republicans in Concord are
unwilling to support adequate
revenue for the state because of
partisan politics. The you-
cant-have-your-taxes-because-
we-didnt-get-our-casino men-
tality belongs in the school yard,
not the State House. The abhor-
rence of federal funding is
ridiculous: would the
Republicans turn back federal
highway funds based on the
same theory?
The Republican leadership is
calling on the conference com-
mittee of the budget writing
committees to come up with a
reasonable compromise, but
that is an impossible request.
Without any sources of revenue
on the table, the only alternative
will be to accept cuts in pro-
grams and jobs to meet our bal-
anced budget mandate. This is
not what we sent our represen-
tatives to Concord to do. They
are there to, in conjunction with
the Governor, keep our state
functioning on a sound fiscal
and programmatic base. It is
dangerous and foolhardy to do
otherwise.

Who Do You Trust?
We now know that the NSA
(National Security Agency) is
capable of and has, in fact,
monitored, recorded and stored
the telephone and internet com-
munication of innocent
American citizens. We are
being told that this is part of the
cost of doing business when it
comes to protecting us from ter-
rorists and that we should trust
the federal government to not
abuse the power that this infor-
mation gives them.
Does anyone remember recent
revelations that the IRS and sev-
eral other federal agencies
under the current administra-
tion have used their power to
target and harass people and
groups who disagree with this
administrations policies?
Whats that old saying about
fool me once?
God bless Edward Snowden for
revealing this outrageous intru-
sion on the privacy of American
citizens.

Privacy Is No Longer An Option
Recent news about cell phone
giant Verizon is a bit disconcert-
ing. Every phone record of
every Verizon customer is now
an open book to our govern-
ment. Can we not call mom
without it being the govern-
ment's business? Is there no
such thing as "personal" any-
more? Alarmingly the answer is
no.
No one wants a terrorist living
next door. We do not want peo-
ple roaming our country looking
for lives and buildings to
destroy. Our FBI, CIA and mili-
tary intelligence must be com-
mended and praised for their
efforts to prevent heinous acts
from happening in our country.
However, our liberty is at risk
when anyone from the govern-
ment can show up at any time
and search through our homes,
invade our personal property,
invade our banking account
information, go through our
mail and family picture albums,
or go through all of our comput-
ers to see every web page we've
ever browsed. The books we
read at the library, our newspa-
per subscriptions and what we
bought at the grocery store is
nobody else's business. I hear
the argument "If you aren't hid-
ing anything then what do you
care?" I care because, as a
United States citizen, it is an
invasion of our liberty. One
invasion leads to another. The
loss of freedom is slowly erod-
ing in our country.
The government is supposedly
protecting you. Then one day we
wake up in fear of making a
move without government per-
mission.
Any invasion of our personal
lives or privacy should go
through proper channels and
the legal process of being grant-
ed an investigative search war-
rant. In this scenario papers
would have to be filled out
explaining why such a search is
necessary. Authorities who do
such random searches must be
held accountable for any dam-
age done to the citizen's home,
family pictures, files, comput-
ers, clothes or any item that has
been touched or mishandled in
anyway.
Authorities who search without
just cause should be responsible
for dry cleaning bills, carpet
cleaning, painting and the pur-
chase of new electronics if any
of the electronics are damaged.
If the suspicions end up true and
the raided house ends us reveal-
ing someone who is plotting to
hurt others then that changes
the scenario.
Those who search should never
be allowed to destroy someone's
home and leave it in a state of
disaster. When someone is sus-
pected as being a threat to hurt-
ing anyone or suspected of
being a terroristic threat to a
community or our nation then of
course everything must be done
to determine what is going on
and every precaution taken to
save lives.
The truth of the matter is that if
the FBI invades a person's home
and does a search and they find
50 guns it doesn't mean any-
thing. Many people collect
guns. If the person has told peo-
ple about his plans to shoot peo-
ple at the movie theatre or if he
has written threatening stuff on
Face book then the authorities
have every right to take his
guns, investigate and arrest him
if they find documented facts.
The Patriot Act was established
after the 911 attacks. We will
never forget the heinous crimes
committed against our country.
The question is this, "Has the
patriot act made us safer as a
nation?
The Patriot Act has given the
government more freedom to
invade any person's privacy in
Any Place, USA, but has it made
you safer? Do you feel safer
because of the Patriot Act?
Since the Patriot Act there have
been countless episodes of vio-
lence that the new law has not
prevented throughout the states.
Military base shootings, office
shootings, campus shootings,
movie theatre shootings and
more.
For every terroristic act that
has been stopped we celebrate
as a country and thank those
involved in preventing it.
The Patriot Act needs to be edit-
ed. Our citizens should only
have to fear criminals and ter-
rorists, not government officials
with a license to violate our civil
liberties. There should be a
compromise and a system of
checks and balances that pro-
tect the freedom of Americans as
well as keeping us safe.

Iam hopeful that by the time
this paper hits the shelves, that
summer would have actually
found us, because as Isit here
writing this, the sky has opened
up once again and the rain is
tumbling down.
So far, Iam not overly
impressed with the start of sum-
mer. The weather has been back
and forth and all over the place.
Snow on Memorial day, rain by
the bucketful, wind, then hot,
then raw, then cold and damp
and maybe a day or two of sun
mixed in there somewhere.
Problem is, on the few sunny
days, one cant enjoy them!
They have been so far and few
between that on those sunny
days, we are all trying to catch
up to mowing and garden work!
Well, heres hoping that summer
comes and stays for a while.
Looking at the whole picture,
fall is only a couple months
away! Ugh!!!
Ifor one think Mother Nature is
trying to tell us something.
Okay, enough on the weather!
There are lots of things going on
this summer and throughout the
year! This year, several local
towns are celebrating their
250th Anniversaries, but did
you know that there are actually
13 towns throughout NH cele-
brating that distinction this
year?
Lancaster, Lisbon, Haverhill,
Warren, Woodstock, Thornton,
Sandwich,Plymouth, Croydon,
Alstead, Gilsum, New Boston
and Candia! Funny to think
southern NH towns such as
Candia or New Boston were
incorporated the same year as
many of the northern NH towns!
Seems seventy Vermont towns
have celebrated their 250-year
old histories over the past two
years. And this year, 36 more
villages, towns, and cities will
mark their birthdays. Locally,
we have Newbury and
Waterbury.
There are plenty of celebrations
planned for the local communi-
ties celebrating their anniver-
saries! All you have to do is look
them up online, or find out from
the local town officials what
might be planned for a commu-
nity near you.
Amongs all the birthday cele-
brations, there will be plenty of
upcoming events, such as Old
Home Days and of course, the
local fairs.
Idont want to hear anybody
complaining that theres nothing
to do here in the north country.
In fact, Ithink it is more to the
contrary! Usually theres so
much going on that you just
cant take in everything!
So enjoy the summer, once it
does get here. Take in some of
the local flair and celebrations.
I will tell you that you wont be
sorry that you did!

Here we go again, History
repeats itself, welcome to Syria.
"Taxpayers shouldn't have to
keep paying for a failed
weapons program that our
troops will never use,"
(Sen.Ayotte)
Our troops surely won't use
these, if the Bin Laden's have
them.
BAE Systems Inc. was awarded
a $66million contract for the
AN/AAR-57 common missile
warning system, according to
the Defense Dept. and NH
Senator Kelly Ayotte, The con-
tract is in support of foreign
military sales to Saudi
Arabia/United Arab Emirates,
Homeland of Osama Bin
Laden. Who's family in 2001
put a large part of their money
into business ventures, includ-
ing GW Bush who started the
company Arbusto(Bush in
Spanish) Energy As he built his
own business empire, Salem Bin
Laden(Osama's brother) had an
intriguing relationship with the
president-to-be,GW and former
Pres.GH Bush..
Is Senator Ayotte ,a Member of
the Armed Service Committee,
keeping in contact with Bin
Laden's.?
"Senator Ayotte said, as a mem-
ber of the Senate Armed
Services Committee. With near-
ly $17 trillion in debt, we can't
afford business as usual spend-
ing. There is near unanimous
support in the Senate for cutting
funding for the missile to
nowhere,' and the legislation
I'm introducing will better sup-
port our troops."Sen.Ayotte
Why should we pay for their
Defense and cut ours? Sen.
Ayotte supports military defense
funding for all these countries.

Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat
Month
The Board of Directors of
Second Chance Animal Rescue
(SCAR) in Littleton, New
Hampshire, is acknowledging
Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month by
reducing the adoption fee for
adult black cats at SCAR. Black
cats are often difficult to find
homes for because of a stigma
against the color of their fur.
These cats are often just as
friendly, if not more so, than
other cats. A number of adult
black cats currently reside at
SCAR waiting for their forever
homes. The adoption fee
includes up-to-date shots,
spay/neuter, microchipping and
FLV/FIV testing.
The shelter is open to visitors
noon to 3pm Monday through
Saturday or by appointment.
The shelter is at 1517 Meadow
Street, Littleton, just past
Lowes and can be reached at

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, Let us remember a scrip-
ture that the Lord our God gave to us in His
Holy Scriptures. He leaves no room for doubt
on how we can all make our country better.
Read each line and grasp what they are say-
ing! He created everything and He is giving us
the way to fix it. His Word is clear and precise.
He tells us exactly what to do. Let us heed
these words, and cause Him to hear from
heaven, and heal our land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek
my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land. Let us stand
together in harmony and peace, and allow our
God to do what He does best. God love you
all~

Dear EarthTalk: How are
monarch butterflies doing
today? They used to pass
through my area in big numbers
but in the last few years there
seem to be many fewer.
-- Bill Wright, Erie, PA
The monarch butterfly, royally
adorned in black, white and red-
dish-orange and able to migrate
as far as 2,800 miles, is a true
wonder of nature. Each year
monarchs travel from Canada
and the U.S. to hibernate in the
forests of central Mexico. But in
recent years the monarchs have
been in sharp population decline
due to habitat loss, eradication
of the plants it depends upon
and other environmental factors.
The decline in monarchs has
been going on for two decades,
but the last few years have been
particularly worrisome.
Mexicos National Commission
of Natural Protected Areas
reports a 59 percent decline in
the area of forest there occupied
by overwintering monarchs
since December 2011.
Meanwhile, the World Wildlife
Fund (WWF) reports that over-
wintering populations along the
California coast have shrunk
from over a million individuals
counted at 101 sites in 1997 to
less than 60,000 at just 74 sites
in 2009. The International
Union for the Conservation of
Nature, which maintains the
Red List of endangered
species around the world, recog-
nizes the monarchs annual
migration as an endangered
biological phenomenon.
According to Monarch Watch,
an educational outreach pro-
gram based at the University of
Kansas that engages citizen-sci-
entists in monarch monitoring
and conservation efforts, habitat
destruction is one key driver in
the monarchs demise: New
roads, housing developments
and agricultural expansionall
transform a natural landscape in
ways that make it impossible for
monarchs to live there. Also,
drought and record-high tem-
peratures in North America in
2012 triggered an earlier-than-
usual monarch migration. This
disrupted the butterflies breed-
ing cycle by drying out their
eggs prematurely.
The hot weather has also
reduced the nectar content of the
milkweed plants that monarch
larvae depend on. In addition,
milkweed is becoming scarce
due to farmers increasing
reliance on herbicides. Most of
the soy and corn crops grown in
the U.S. are genetically engi-
neered to resist herbicides. This
means even more chemical
sprayingand far fewer milk-
weed plants. Nectar producing
plants that attract adult butter-
flies are facing a similar fate,
further complicating survival
for the monarch.
It wont be easy to stem the tide
of human development that
threatens the species long term
survival. In 2008 the
Commission for Environmental
Cooperation, set up under the
North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) to help
the U.S., Canada and Mexico
coordinate on environmental
initiatives, published its North
American Monarch
Conservation Plan to establish a
conservation blueprint for the
butterflies. Key aspects of the
plan include the creation of
incentives for the conservation
of overwintering sites and the
restoration of breeding habitat
throughout the butterflys exten-
sive range.
In the meantime, the Mexican
government has worked with
WWF and other groups and
made strides in restricting log-
ging in areas critical to monarch
populations. And in the U.S.,
monarch habitat restoration
work in California and other
parts of the U.S. have helped
provide the butterflies some
relief. Whether these and other
efforts are enough to rescue the
monarchs remains to be seen.

al fair in town. On Thursday,
July 18th., hundreds of parade
spectators will return to down-
town Bradford to once again
enjoy this tradition.
This year, the Bradford
Merchants Association is work-
ing in collaboration with the
Town of Bradford and Directors
of the Bradford Fair Association
to make this years downtown
parade a memorable event.
According to Sherry Brown,
President of the Bradford
Merchants Association, We are
reaching out to many area
organizations and local schools
for their participation. Some
area businesses and organiza-
tions have made contributions
in support of our efforts to con-
tinue the parade as a Downtown
Bradford event. This year,
local celebrity judges will
review the parade. One trophy
will be awarded for the Best of
Show, plus ribbons to be pre-
sented to the top 3 in the follow-
ing categories:
Horses & Riders
Floats
Commercial Floats
Children in Costume
Decorated Bicycles
Antique Cars
Race Cars
Best School Class (Grades K-6)
Best School Class (Grades 7-
12)
Brown noted that everyone is
invited to walk, drive, or display
your float in the parade.
As in previous years, parade
participants will first assemble
at Memorial Field behind the
Bradford Academy building.
Between 4:00 pm-5:30 pm,
parade registration will take
place for those wishing to be
judged. At 6:00 pm, the parade
begins moving South on Main
Street, through Downtown
Bradford, and new this year,
concludes near P.T.O.s Repair
on South Main Street.
For your comfort, Brown sug-
gests that parade watchers
arrive early and either bring
chairs or a blanket. If you plan
to travel through Downtown
Bradford during the parade on
Thursday, July 18th, expect
some minor travel delays and
detours. We are working
closely with our local officials
to keep any traffic issues to a
minimum, Brown commented.

pre-registration forms, go to the

second service for 2013 on
Sunday, June 23, at 3:00 p.m.,
under the direction of Pastor
Ray Hahn. Mrs. Sharon
Yunghans of Plymouth will be
guest speaker. Mothers Day
will be celebrated and Mothers
of all ages will be honored.
Everyone is invited. Following
the service a picnic on the lawn
will be held (inside if rainy) to
which all are invited to partici-
pate. Please bring your own
chair and your lunch. Drinks
and desserts will be provided.
The Chapel is non-denomina-

enjoy worshiping in an old-
fashioned country church, join
in singing the old-time hymns
and Gospel songs, and hear a
different preacher or musician
each Sunday during the summer
without missing your own
church.
The Chapel is located 4 1/2
miles up Ellsworth Hill Road
from the intersection of Routes
3 and 49 (Campton Exit 28 off
I-93).

A sudden storm which hit parts of the area a couple weeks ago left a path of destructin in parts of Warren, NH. These two photos from the same road. On the left,
an electric pole was sheared off at the middle. On the right, a path of destruction about 30 yards wide, where most of the trees were taken off at the middle. Sights
like this could be seen throughout the Warren area, with trees sheared off and many times just up-rooted or left bent over. In some instances, people were without
power for several days. - Bryan Flagg Photos

The Hebron Historical Society
will host a pot luck supper and
program on Saturday, June 29th
in the Hebron Community Hall
(basement of the Union
Congregational Church) begin-
ning at 5:30 pm. The Society is
very pleased to feature Steve
Taylors presentation New
Hampshires One-Room
Schools: The Romance and the
Reality which will begin at
6:30 pm. Steve, who is a dairy
farmer from Meriden Village,
served as NHs Commissioner
of Agriculture for 25 years as
well as in many other public
functions. He was the founding
Executive Director of the New
Hampshire Humanities Council,
has worked as a journalist and is
an independent historical schol-
ar.
The presentation is supported
by a grant from the NH
Humanities Council and is free
to the public.
The Hebron Community Hall is
located directly across from the
Hebron Common on North
Shore Road and is fully handi-
cap accessible.
For more information, please
call 744-3335.
The North Country Chorus is
set to begin July rehearsals in
preparation for its tribute to the
the 250th celebrations in
Newbury and Haverhill. Guest
conductor Bob Mead of
Haverhill plans an evening of
"Frost and Forbush," with a pro-
gram centered first on the works
of the much loved Yankee poet
Robert Frost, and second on the
pride of the Yanks, including the
nurses like lead character Nellie
Forbush, and their service in
World War II, as captured in
selections from Rodgers and
Hammerstein's "South Pacific."
Any and all interested singers,
especially gobs and farmers (or
rather, tenors and basses) are
encouraged to contact Bob for
information and to reserve
copies of the music. Email
claire.mead@alumni.duke.edu
or call 603-989-5523.
The concerts will take place on
Saturday 3 August, 7:30 pm, at
Wells River (VT)
Congregational Church, and
Sunday 4 August, 7:30 pm, at
Haverhill (NH) Congregational
Church.
Pianist Jean Anderson of
Peacham, VT, will accompany
the Chorus and perform solo
jazzy arrangements of American
pop standards. The Chorus will
perform "Frostiana," the seven
poems set by Randall
Thompson for mixed voices and
piano accompaniment. Frost
was first a poet and second a
teacher. Even he came to realize
that his attempts at farming
placed a distant third in signifi-
cance, and yet his poems depict
clearly, almost cinematically,
the country life and man's con-
nection to the rest of nature.
They also charmingly provide
an intimate look at a young mar-
ried couple, he and wife Elinor
possibly, as they adapt to rural
life. Among the favorites in this
set are "Stopping by Woods on a
Snowy Evening," "A Girl's
Garden," and "The Road Not
Taken."
"South Pacific," based on James
A. Michener's "Tales of the
South Pacific," made its
Broadway debut in 1949, was
an immediate smash success,
and became the winner of ten
Tony awards and a Pulitzer
Prize for drama. Oscar
Hammerstein is credited with
raising the form of musical
comedy to that of the musical
play, in which the songs, actors
and action all serve the develop-
ment of plot and character.
Critics have marveled that the
show, composed by Richard
Rodgers, has not one weak
song. The Chorus will perform a
medley that includes "Bali
Ha'i," "Younger Than
Springtime,"A Wonderful Guy,"
"There Is Nothing Like a
Dame," and "Some Enchanted
Evening," as well as other selec-
tions.

My articles have been mostly
focused on computers and how
to use them, however there are
other forms of technology that
play a more important role in
our everyday lives, some we do
not know they exist until a dis-
aster strikes and we need their
help. I am talking about
Armature Radio Operators or
Hams.
I attended a meeting this past
weekend of the Littleton Area of
the radio club and was
impressed. Ham Operators are
an elite group of people who
during an emergency when the
cell phones are not working or
our normal communication
infrastructure no longer is oper-
ational; provide emergency
communications to not only the
first responders but also loved
ones of families who are
involved in a tragic catastrophe
such as a hurricane or tornado
around the world.
They do all this on a volunteer
basis. On June 22-23, 2013 they
are going to have an annual
Field Day it is an annual event
in which groups of Amateur
Radio (Ham) operators
worldwide set up their radios
and see how well they can com-
municate with other Hams
under emergency conditions.
Field Day is also fun event
which allows the Ham commu-
nity to show our skills to the
local community.
Operating "off the grid", Hams
"hang wire" for antennas and
use generators, solar power and
other power sources to see how
many contacts can be made in
24 hours. Hams use voice, like
"regular" radio, as well as
Morse Code and computer
mediated formats. This year we
also will be demonstrating a
"fully integrated and self-con-
tained air beam shelter", cour-
tesy of Mobile Medical
International Corporation of St.
Johnsbury, VT
(mmicglobal.com). These
portable shelters incorporate
independent power supplies and
complete environmental con-
trol, and can be deployed quick-
ly for command, control and
habitation purposes when the
need arises.
Everyone is invited to come out
to the Littleton Area Radio Club
(LARK) Field Day site on
Route 142, less than one mile up
from the junction with Route 3,
in Franconia, NH. Take exit 37
(northbound) or exit 38 (south-
bound) off of I-93. Signs will be
posted directing you to the site.
LARK will be on the air from 2
to 8 PM on Saturday June 22
and again from 10 AM to 2 PM
on Sunday June 23. Any of our
members will be happy to show
you around, explain what we are
doing and what's involved in
getting a license to become an
amateur radio operator.
Time after time, when disaster
strikes and normal communica-
tions channels are disrupted, the
Amateur Radio community has
been able to get the lines of
communication set up so that
critical resources can be moved
to the areas of need. This has
been true for disaster relief, like
hurricanes and tornadoes; inter-
nationally following earth-
quakes and tsunamis; and in
times of local severe weather.
Ham operators work with the
local authorities as well as with
many disaster relief groups in
all these cases. Hams also pro-
vide communications support
for many public service events,
such as the Boston Marathon
and the Prouty bicycle tour.
Ham radio is also an interesting
hobby. If you like making new
friends world-wide, there are
opportunities for you. Do you
have an interest in science,
space exploration or technolo-
gy? Hams are involved there as
well. Many of the Astronauts
manning the International Space
Station (ISS) are Ham opera-
tors, licensed by their own
countries. These Space
Explorers provide class room
contacts from the ISS via ama-
teur radio setups that local Ham
operators provide to schools for
such purposes. Have you con-
sidered a career in electronics or
radio? Ham radio has opened
these doors for many of today's
professionals.
If this sounds interesting to you,
please join us during our annual
field day operation. Any ques-
tions or comments please con-
tact me at paigece@gmail.com
or call (603)747-2201 and to

Our club maintains two trails; (1) the Blackmount trail from North
Haverhill to Woodsville and (2) the Rail Trail from Woodsville to
Littleton. We schedule trail maintenance days when necessary to
maintain the trails and keep them safe for all riders.

Saving Normal
from DSM 5
Saving Normal, by Allen
Frances, the psychiatrist who
led the task force for the DSM
IV, is a must read. Its subtitle is:
An insiders revolt against out-
of-control psychiatric diagnosis,
DSM-5, big pharma and the
medicalization of ordinary life.
DSM-I, The Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, was published in
1952 to replace various existing
diagnostic classifications at a
time when psychiatry was
booming after WWII. Now,
over 60 years later and 19 years
since the DSM-IV was pub-
lished, we have a 900 page tome
in DSM-5, capable of classify-
ing every one of us with a men-
tal disorder. This is the classifi-
cation used to determine treat-
ment and insurance coverage.
Catchy acronyms like ADHD
(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder), OCD (Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder), or
BiPolar (Manic Depressive
Disorder) or Alzheimers (for all
levels of dementia) encourage
lay people to diagnose and, with
the help of big pharma media
advertizing, expect their doctors
to prescribe a potpourrie of
drugs.
Children are being over-diag-
nosed and given prescribed
drugs early on. Many new disor-
ders have been added. In the
future, tantrums will be labeled
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation
Disorder. 100% of kids will
qualify for this disorder. The
rationale seems to be get them
as kids and have them for life
pharmaceutically.
Policy changes Frances sees
that will help are: no more fruc-
tose subsidies, no more coke
and fries with school lunches,
no more streets without side-
walks to discourage walking,
restore Phys. Ed. in schools, add
calorie counts to menus, subsi-
dize vegetables, lower insurance
premiums for losing weight,
encourage people to eat less and
exercise more.
DSM-5 mislabels medical disor-
ders as mental disorders.
Irritable bowel syndrome,
chronic fatigue, Lyme Disease,
fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and
more, now carry psychiatric dis-
order numbers.
Elsewhere in the news, oxy-
codon is being decried as an
abused drug. Ive observed that
small doses given to elderly
people for pain often causes
them to hallucinate. Because
they are elderly, they then risk
being pegged with a senile diag-
nosis and given psychotropics.
Treatment of US service people
for PTSD (Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder) is under fire in
the news this week. After 3 or
more deployments to participate
in the horrors of war, there are
reports that the Army is crimi-
nalizing PTSD behavior and
discharging service people with
PTSD instead of court-martial-
ing them if they agree to give up
their health benefits. The PTSD
diagnosis without treatment
makes it difficult for them to get
a job, much less resume their
personal lives. Is this how we
want to recognize and care for
our service people?
The rationale of using drugs to
correct a chemical imbalance
for the rest of your life has
been abused, not only with psy-
chotropic drugs but with drugs
for medical problems.
Frances reminds us that Big
Tobacco once seemed invinci-
ble, yet was taken down so
quickly. The same thing can
happen with Big Pharma when
we refuse to accept the buffet of
pills it promotes that rob us of
our health and financial solven-
cy, when we heed Hippocrates
caution to let our food be our
medicine, and when we inten-
tionally give our bodies the
exercise we need to keep all sys-
tems running smoothly.

The First Pea and the
Last Tick
Well, the title is not quite accu-
rate. We did share our first snap
pea more than a week ago (from
a single flower that I nursed
through the snow and multiple
frosts at the end of May); a
steady harvest, however, is still
a few weeks away. As to the
ticks, this may be pure opti-
mism. My ticks-pulled-off-per-
day ratio is certainly declining.
Nonetheless, as much as I hope
that this day may just offer the
final find, the ticks clearly have
their own schedule. Well, ok, so
be it.
On the subject of firsts and lasts,
there are others to share as well.
We've had our first nasturtium
leaves mixed into our salads, the
first rosemary harvest, our first
stevia plant growing large
enough to transplant to a bigger
pot....Our youngest blueberry
bushes are flowering and setting
their first fruits; I've just hilled
our massive potatoes for the
first time, we've enjoyed our
first picking of wild strawber-
ries, and are gingerly tending
our first chamomile, horserad-
ish, and sage plants.
While unclear where the first
actually was, we now have sun-
flowers, lupines, calendula, nas-
turtium, cleome, and zinnia
popping up in fits and starts all
around the homestead. There
have been more than a few sur-
prises as we watch flowers
emerge from nooks in which I
had forgotten I'd tucked seeds
into at all.
As to lasts, the final few of my
transplants (some smaller
cucumbers) were put out this
week. By the time this is pub-
lished, we will likely have eaten
the last of the fresh rhubarb for
the season, and will certainly be
done with the occasional fiddle-
head. Hopefully, cautiously, we
have also seen the last of snow,
and the last of the chilling tem-
peratures.
Looking through some history
on New England weather, how-
ever, Ryan found late frost
events extending into the sec-
ond week in June on occasion,
and the latest snow date on
record to be June 16, 1964.
History may not have to repeat
itself, and here's an extra hope
that it doesn't. The crop calami-
ties that such weather events
caused are tragic footnotes in
New England history.
So here's to optimistically mov-
ing towards summer. For the
handful of sweltering days
we've had, we've also had quite
a number of cool days and cool-
er nights. The basil and toma-
toes in particular seem a bit lost
for all these 50 degree days, but
the kale, potatoes, and beans are
flourishing. We wish, as
always, for ideal weather. Or, at
least, that if we can't have a
larder stocked with tomato
sauce, well have a cellar full of
'taters.

ALERT Responder Noah
Brown, 17-year-old son of
Duane and Jennifer Brown of
Wentworth, NH, recently com-
pleted Phase One of the Air
Land Emergency Resource
Team (ALERT) training pro-
gram at the International
ALERT Academy in Big Sandy,
Texas.
The goal of the ALERT
Program is to equip young men
with a ministry mind-set,
preparing them with the skills,
priorities, and attitudes to func-
tion in life as responsible and
selfless servants of God, regard-
less of what their profession
may be.
Noah successfully completed 9
weeks of Basic Training, which
includes the pressures of a mili-
tary-style "boot camp." The
focus of Basic Training is on
intense spiritual, physical, and
mental training that requires the
young men to continually
depend upon God and to serve
one another. This rigorous 9
weeks of wilderness hiking,
physical exercise, basic living
skills, memorization of
Scripture, and learning respect
for authority builds the disci-
plines necessary for service.
Brown and his teammates began
their training at 4:30 A.M. daily
with a one-hour personal devo-
tion time, followed by physical
training as a unit. Morning
classes focused on character
qualities, evangelism, commu-
nication skills, and Biblical
principles. Afternoons were
spent in more classes and/or
projects, which emphasized per-
sonal motivation, diligent team-
work, respect for authority, and
practical skills such as land nav-
igation, ropes and knots, wilder-
ness survival, and first aid.
Noah was one of 55 young men
who completed this training and
received awards for Personal
Excellence, Scripture Memory,
and the Endurance Hike. Noah
will continue with Emergency
Response Training, which
involves specialized training in
disaster response, basic fire-
fighting, high-angle rescue,
Rescue Systems One, emer-
gency medicine, search and res-
cue, working with a chain saw,
and search-and-recovery diving.
The men will also participate in
disaster relief, rescue work and
service projects as opportunities
arise.
The final phase of ALERT is
Advanced Training, which
offers concentrated training in
trades and valuable skills,
including auto mechanics, avia-
tion, construction, emergency
medicine, emergency services
operations, law enforcement,
leadership and management,
and service response team train-
ing. This training enables the
young men to support their pres-
ent or future ministry, to be
assets to their future employers,
and to be valuable members of
their communities.

running over an old lady with his horse, but
the charges were later dropped!
At 120 miles per hour, a Formula One car
generates so much downforce that it can
drive upside down on the roof of a tunnel!
Kite flying is a professional sport in Thailand!
The chances of making two holes-in-one in a
round of golf are one in 67 million!
The Stanley Cup originally was only seven and
a half inches high! It is now 35 1/4!
It was American industrialist
Henry Ford who made the fol-
lowing sage observation:
"Whether you think that you
can, or that you can't, you are
usually right."
It took Leonardo da Vinci four
years to complete his iconic
painting the "Mona Lisa."
If you're planning a trip to the
United Kingdom this summer,
you might want to add a side
trip to Llanfair in Wales. The
town's Welsh name is llanfairp-
wllgwyngyllgogerychwyrn-
drobwl l l l ant si l i ogogogoch,
which means, roughly, "Saint
Mary's Church in a hollow of
white hazel, close to a whirlpool
and Saint Tysilo's Church and
near a red cave." The sign at the
railway station that has the
town's name is 20 feet long.
The next time you're aviating
in Alaska, keep in mind that in
that state it's illegal to view a
moose from the window of any
flying vehicle.
What's in a name? Well, a
great deal, it would seem -- at
least according to those trying to
make it big. Joan Crawford was
born Lucille La Sueur, Roy
Rogers was Leonard Slye, and
Dean Martin was Dino Crocetti.
Issur Danielovitch (wisely)
changed his name to Kirk
Douglas, and Archibald Leach
decided he preferred to become
famous as Cary Grant.
Before 1948 on the island of
Bermuda, cars were forbidden.
You might be surprised to
learn that the cowboy hat was
not as widespread in the Old
West as might be assumed from
watching old movies. The most
popular headwear on the fron-
tier was the bowler hat. The
bowler had the advantage of sta-
bility; it wouldn't blow off in
high winds. It was worn by Bat
Masterson, Billy the Kid, Black
Bart and Butch Cassidy.

Egg Timer
Q: I have a ceramic egg timer
featuring a design of a Dutch
girl. It is in fairly good condi-
tion and probably from the
1950s. I bought it for $3 at a
garage sale. -- Betty, Lawrence,
Kan.
A: According to the Antique
Trader Kitchen Collectibles
Price Guide edited by Kyle
Husfloen, your egg timer is
probably worth about $35.

Q: My dad was quite a marbles
player when he was a child, and
I recently found a small bag of
his special sulfides, tiger-eyes
and swirls stashed away in a lit-
tle leather pouch. Any value
other than sentimental? -- Carl,
Durango, Colo.
A: Bill Blair -- owner of Blair
Collectibles, a company that
buys, sells and appraises mar-
bles -- is especially interested in
machine marbles made since the
1930s and handmade ones that
date prior to 1915. He cautions
that values have declined in
recent years. Contact him at
P.O. Box 655, Pine Hill, NY
12465; blaircol@aol.com; and
845-254-4717.

Q: My grandparents recently
gave me a set of china, the
Brittany pattern, made by
Homer Laughlin and Company.
I would like to know about
when it was made. --Barbara,
Wheatridge, Colo.
A: The Brittany pattern was
issued during the spring of
1936. According to information
from "The Collector's
Encyclopedia of Homer
Laughlin China: Reference and
Value Guide" by Joanne Jasper
and published by Collector
Books, this pattern was popular
and continued to be issued until
the early 1950s.

WEEK OF
JUNE 24, 2013
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Count to 10 if you must, but
don't lose your temper, despite
that person's (you know who!)
efforts to goad you into react-
ing. Your restraint will pay off
in a big way.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
This week finds you in a socia-
ble mood, ready and eager to
enjoy the company of family
and friends. It's also a good time
to seek out and renew old
friendships.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Patience is called for as you
await a decision about that proj-
ect you're eager to launch.
Meanwhile, try to set aside
more time to share with that
special person in your life.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Avoid becoming involved in a
workplace dispute early in the
week by insisting both sides
submit their stands to a neutral
arbitrator. Things begin to cool
off by Thursday.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It
promises to be a busy but pro-
ductive week for the Big Cat.
The pace slows by Friday,
allowing you to catch up on
matters you put aside but that
now need your attention.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) A suddenly dis-
ruptive family situation is best
handled with a cool, calm and
collected response. Wait until
things settle to let off all that
pent-up emotional steam.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Your practical side
dominates the week as you
reassess your finances to make
some sensible adjustments in
what you plan to spend and
what you expect to save.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) An unexpected
meeting with a former colleague
opens some interesting possibil-
ities. But you need to press for
full disclosure before making a
decision.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) A recent flurry
of activity eases by midweek,
giving you time to readjust your
disrupted schedule and make
new plans for a weekend get-
away.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) You're usually
the one who gives advice. But
now it's time to open yourself
up to counsel from friends who
have your best interests at heart.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) You might find
resistance to your call for a full
inquiry into a workplace prob-
lem. But by week's end even the
most rigid naysayers begin to
come around.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) A recurring problem sur-
faces once again. Maybe it's
time you used your creative tal-
ents to help you find a new
approach to resolving it once
and for all.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are
guided in what you do both by
your intelligence and your emo-
tions. An acting career would
suit you quite well.
