The Literary Circle of Minot-
Sleeper Library, Bristol, is
pleased to invite the public to a
free presentation by author
Betsy Woodman. Betsy is the
author of Jana Bibis Excellent
Fortunes released in 2012 and
Love Potion Number 10: A Jana
Bibi Adventure released just
this August.
Jana Bibi's Excellent Fortunes is
set in the 1960s in a small
Indian Hill Station in what is
now Uttar Pradesh, India. Janet
Laird (Jana Bibi), a Scottish
woman, inherits her grandfa-
thers house and moves in with
her chatty parrot, Mr. Ganguly.
When the town becomes threat-
ened by a planned government
dam, Jana and her new friends
scheme to save the village. The
book is full of adventures, twists
and turns. Critics loved the
book. What a charming,
engaging, and utterly delightful
novel!- author Elizabeth Berg.
NH Magazine What a won-
derful novelThere is delight
to be found everywhere in
Woodmans descriptions and
dialogue. The Publisher
Weekly, Woodmans debut
novel follows a quaint patch-
work of charactersdemon-
strating Indias unique cultural
makeup.
In the newest Jana Bibi adven-
ture, Love Potion Number 10,
Jana, Mr. Ganguly, and the gang
are back as their small town in
India is baffled by an espionage
mystery and a homemade reme-
dy turns everyones thoughts
towards love. The Jolly Grant
House still welcomes all its vis-
itors with the sign Jana Bibis
Excellent Fortunes hanging
proudly outside its front door.
Janas fortune-telling has
brought a lot of attention to the
small town of Hamara Nagar,
and now that the town is safe
from the threat of being flooded
by a government dam, all eyes
are on the Scottish-born card-
reader Jana and her feisty,
loose-beaked parrot, Mr.
Ganguly. Some people, though,
are not to be trusted, and Mr.
Ganguly finds himself at the
center of a potential kidnapping
that puts Jana and her household
on edge. Meanwhile, love is in
the air and, thanks to Abinaths
Apothecary, its also in a bottle.
Abinath has created Love
Potion Number 10 (LPN10, for
short) that has Jana asking her-
self, is a new love possible at
age 59?
Praise for Love Potion Number
10
Climb straight out of your
world and take a stroll to
Hamara Nagar, a not quite dis-
covered Himalayan hamlet in
India in 1961, where the clock is
always a couple of minutes
behind the times. Miss Marple
meets Paul Scotts Staying On
in this charming tale of adven-
ture and intrigue. Nayana
Currimbhoy, author of Miss
Timmins School for Girls
Delightful. Booklist
Colorful, exuberant, Kirkus

Dear EarthTalk: I understand
that there are many internships
available at environmental
organizations, some involving
working outdoors, some year-
round with expenses paid.
Where do I find these?
-- Jason Baar, Los Angeles, CA
Internships can provide profes-
sional experience and on-the-
job training for individuals
looking to enter the environ-
mental field. There are numer-
ous opportunities and the key is
to know where to look. Many
businesses, non-profits and gov-
ernmental organizations offer
internships that are environmen-
tally focused and can range
from office work in many differ-
ent departments to working out-
doors, some year-round and
some short term. Compensation
also varies significantly and can
range from unpaid (but earning
college credit) to salaried and/or
all-expenses-paid.
A good place to start is the
Student Conservation
Association (SCA), which
places over 2,000 interns a year
and focuses on expense paid
year round internships, many of
which are outdoors. They part-
ner with public and private
organizations along with federal
agencies and prescreen appli-
cants to create a national pool of
candidates for organizations to
select from to bring in for inter-
views. Internships through SCA
can offer anywhere from $75-
$300 per week in living expens-
es, plus housing, travel and
medical costs. In addition, an
Americorps education award
may be available to interns at
the completion of their intern-
ship.
The Environmental Careers
Organization (ECO) is also a
well known resource for finding
internships for bachelors, mas-
ters and doctoral students and
recent graduates. This program
partners with the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and through paid
internships has turned out pro-
fessionals in the environmental
field for over 30 years. ECO
selects 500 associates each year
for 12-week to two-year intern-
ships. Sponsoring organizations
offer internships in research and
training programs in addition to
office, laboratory and field work
assignments. Associates earn
between $400 and $800 per
week and may also be compen-
sated for relocation costs, hous-
ing, travel, and career develop-
ment.
A few other places to look are
EcoEmploy and Internmatch.
EcoEmploy is a database of
hundreds of non-profits, gov-
ernmental agencies and compa-
nies whose work is in the envi-
ronmental field. This compre-
hensive list, organized by state,
offers a way to find organiza-
tions that may offer jobs or
internships. Internmatch posts
internships in several categories
throughout the country and has
a section dedicated to environ-
mental internships. They range
from summer to year round and
paid to non-paid.
In addition to these resources,
environmental departments
within universities often post
internship opportunities for stu-
dents as well as other tips for
finding and researching poten-
tial internships.

From Massachusetts, but with many ties and friends to the
Warren, NH area, Harold Crocker and Butch have been doing
shows for over 60 years together! Crocker attended the 37th
annual International Ventriloquist Convention held July 17-20,
2013 in Cincinnati, OH. Harold Crocker received the Distinguished Service Award for outstanding contribution to the art of ven-
triloquism on July 18th which was presented to him by Mark Wade, Executive Director of the Vent Haven Convention. Its one
of the greatest achievements of my life, to be honored by my peers from all over the world, Crocker said. I was shocked. I had
no indication that it was going to happen. When they called my name and I had to go down in front, all these ventriloquists were
standing up and giving me a standing ovation. Tears were streaming down my face. Crocker has been a ventriloquist for 62
years, starting his act when he was 14 years old and continuing it to this day. Harold has attended the convention for 30 years.
Ventriloquists from all over the world were there, a total of six hundred and twenty three to be exact. Other ventriloquists at the
convention this year included, Jimmy Nelson, Jeff Dunham, Terry Fator and Jay Johnson. W.S. Berger founded the Vent Haven
museum. Vent Haven is the only museum of its kind in the world. Located at 33 West Maple Avenue in FT. Mitchell, KY.
Crocker has done shows for the likes of President John F. Kennedys family, Mount Washington Hotel, a number of television
and radio shows and also works with organizations such as the American Red Cross, Shriners Burn Institute, March of Dimes,
Veterans Hospital, Muscular Dystrophy among a very long list of others. Congratulations Harold! - NCN Courtesy Photos

North Country Senator Jeff
Woodburn is inviting interested
high school students to consider
applying for the New
Hampshire Senate Page
Program. It is a one-day com-
mitment, he said.
Being a page in the Senate is a
unique opportunity to learn
about and participate in state
government, said Woodburn, a
former high school civics
teacher. While taking part in the
Senate Page Program, students
will be active participants in an
actual Senate Session, this pro-
viding a firsthand learning
experience regarding the role of
the legislators in state govern-
ment. Student Pages will be
asked to assist the Senate
Clerks Office, and other staff
members, with a variety of
duties that will contribute to the
ultimate creation of new laws
that will govern the State of
New Hampshire. In addition,
students will have an opportuni-
ty to meet their own Senators
and possibly share thoughts and
ideas with them.
Throughout the Senate Session,
Pages will sit in front row
seats inside the Senate
Chamber, where they can
observe the live floor debates
and the legislative process in
action.
Interested high school students
should contact the Senate Clerk
at the Senate Chamber 107

Karner Blue Butterfly Continues Towards Recovery With
Boost From Local Business________________________________________________________
The warm, humid weather con-
ditions this summer were excel-
lent for New Hampshires State
Butterfly. The number of Karner
blue butterflies marked in the
wild surpassed the previous
high number observed by the
New Hampshire Fish and Game
Department's Nongame and
Endangered Wildlife Program
in 2010!
In addition to the great weather,
the Karner blues recovery effort
got another boost this summer
as employees of a local compa-
ny rolled up their sleeves to help
create habitat for the tiny,
bright-blue butterflies. N.H.
Fish and Game and the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service are
collaborating with Praxair
Surface Technologies/TAFA to
increase the amount of habitat
available for the growing popu-
lation. The power line right-of-
way located on the Praxair prop-
erty in Concord, N.H., was the
last known location of the feder-
ally endangered Karner blue
butterfly (Lycaedies melissa
samuelis) in the Northeast.
Each year, the company and its
employees select a local com-
munity engagement project in
support of the community in
which they work. This includes
donation of materials, technical
capability, manpower, and
funds. This year, employees at
the Concord facility assisted
with securing a grant from the
Praxair Foundation to support
efforts to restore habitat on 10-
15 acres of their land parcel,
including a timber harvest that
occurred this spring. Following
the harvest, over 70 employees
spent a morning removing and
stacking brush and planting
wild blue lupine and nectar
plants, which provide habitat for
the butterflies. They transplant-
ed over 600 plants in a matter of
hours, doubling the amount of
existing habitat at the site.
The work that was completed
by the staff of Praxair/TAFA
would have taken a week or
more for our limited staff to
complete, said John Kanter,
Coordinator of the Fish and
Games Nongame and
Endangered Wildlife Program.
The long-term goal of the
Praxair restoration project is to
increase the few butterflies liv-
ing on the parcel to a robust
population of 250-500 adults in
the next few years.
The Praxair funding also paid
for supplies for students in
Concord schools as part of the
"Kids for Karners" program, in
which students grow wild blue
lupine plants in the classroom
for planting on the pine barrens.
Students from the Seacoast
School of Technology in Exeter
and Weare Elementary school
also helped by growing wild
lupine for the companys
employees to plant.
The comeback of New
Hampshire's State Butterfly has
been a remarkable success story.
Surveys from 1983 estimated
the Karner blue butterfly popu-
lation to be over 3,000 individu-
als in the Concord area; by
1988, the population had dwin-
dled to an estimated 600-700
butterflies; by 1994, there were
fewer than 100 Karners left.
Karner blues had declined
because of the loss of their pri-
mary habitat patches of wild
blue lupine (Lupinus perennis),
which is the only food source
for the developing caterpillars.
Habitat also disappeared as the
pine barrens ecosystem devel-
oped into a mature forest
because of fire suppression. As
the forest canopy matured, any
remaining patches of lupine
were eventually shaded out.
Periodic mowing under the
power line corridor provided
long-term maintenance of
lupine, creating the final strong-
hold for the species. A popula-
tion estimate has not been com-
pleted, but this summer's brood
is expected to have come the
closest to reaching the federal
recovery goal of 3,000 Karner
blues in New Hampshire.
This year (2013) New
Hampshire Fish and Game's
Nongame and Endangered
Wildlife Program is celebrating
25 years of success conserving
rare wildlife in the Granite
State. The program is the stew-
ard for the state's nongame
wildlife species not hunted,
fished or trapped. Through
wildlife monitoring and man-
agement, plus outreach and edu-
cation, the Nongame Program
works to protect over 400
species of mammals, birds, rep-
tiles and amphibians, as well as
thousands of insects and other
invertebrates. The program
works in cooperation with other
New Hampshire agencies and
organizations to develop effec-
tive conservation strategies to
protect and enhance vital areas
of habitat and wildlife.

Yoga and PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD), most often used to
describe a condition triggered
by combat trauma in returning
veterans also includes survivors
of rape, kidnapping, child
abuse, spouse abuse, natural
disasters, accidents, concentra-
tion camp experiences, incest,
and burns. Current wars,
protests, and catastrophes con-
tinue to generate more PTSD.
Many of us have such past expe-
riences in need of our full atten-
tion to move beyond the trauma.
Nightmares are often exact
replicas of the traumatic event.
People with PTSD sometimes
move from stimulus to response
without realizing what makes
them so upset. They either over-
react and threaten others or shut
down and freeze.
We live in times of perpetual
trauma generated by fires out of
control, wars over water and
energy, earthquakes, hurricanes,
unemployment, disease, drug
abuse, and so much more.
Depending on the severity of the
stressor, genetic predisposition,
a persons social support sys-
tem, prior traumatic events, pre-
existing personality and other
variables, long-term adjustment
to such trauma varies.
Bessel van der Kolk, a Boston
University psychiatrist, did
research to discover how trauma
affects the brain. He was inter-
ested in discovering a way for
people with PTSD to still the
cacophony of the mind that is
continually reacting to ongoing
stimuli.
He found that Yoga could get
people to safely feel their phys-
ical sensations and develop a
quiet practice of stillness. Yoga
invites people to move through
many postures that are named
after the animals, birds, and
people they represent. Students
are instructed to, as an example,
be the cobra, arching the neck,
extending the tongue, raising
the feet, while giving full atten-
tion to being the cobra.
Victims of violence have rou-
tinely been trapped, pinned
down or unable to move.
Some postures, such as the
backward bending camel or the
child may trigger traumatic
memories. Rather than avoiding
such postures, students are
advised to include them in their
routine and observe that dis-
comfort can be tolerated until
they move into the next posture.
Gradually, as one is able to hold
the posture with full attention
for longer periods, the memory
is replaced by the ability to safe-
ly feel physical sensations and
develop a practice of quiet still-
ness.
Because silence is often terrify-
ing for people with PTSD,
beginning emphasis is on first
developing and regulating
breathing practices, postures
and relaxation before attempt-
ing meditation. If meditation is
attempted too soon, it can
become a terrifying rumination.
For more information on treat-
ment of PTSD with Yoga, van
der Kolk recommends David
Emerson at demerson@trauma-
center.org.
Practices such as Tai chi and
martial arts serve a similar pur-
pose: to develop the ability to
attend closely to the present
moment. These ancient prac-
tices we are rediscovering today
may well lead us to the balance
we need to navigate around
todays world.

Of Many Generations
There comes a time in August
when hints of fall suggest a
slower pace, yet the summer
remains far from over, and the
abundance of the garden threat-
ens to overtake us. The weeds
are noticeably slower in their
growth, and plants both cultivat-
ed and wild seem to be pulling
inward, ready for the winter
they instinctually know to be
coming. Nevertheless, the gar-
den crops are just reaching their
apex, all their growth from the
summers heat culminating in a
cornucopia of produce that out-
paces our appetites. Over the
next two months, the denoue-
ment into colder seasons, the
preservation of the harvest is
imperative: storing for the dark
days of winter what the long
days of summer created.
In the midst of this process is
where we currently find our-
selves. What had in springtime
seemed like a few short rows of
string beans now produces
pounds upon pounds of snap
beans each week. The kale
grows before our eyes. Turnips
must be stored before they turn
woody, large beets must be
pickled before a visiting critter
chooses them for a late summer
meal; the garlic, onions, and
shallots are ready to be pulled,
and the early potatoes have died
back to the ground. Herbs are to
be dried, and theres so much to
eat!
It is a small Eden that weve
created, yet despite the abun-
dance it provides us, we still
spend many days each week
working off-site for income.
Add committees and meetings
and volunteer work, and sud-
denly time seems short for the
very home-grown projects
awaiting us in our garden beds.
We harvested and hung the alli-
ums in early August, a quick
task completed before family
came to visit. Batches of herbs
have been bundled and hung as
space allows, and the first pota-
to harvest will be done by the
time youre reading this. The
other tasks have also been
checked off, but here is where
the title of this becomes so rele-
vant: many generations.
With this, you may have
guessed, I not-so-obliquely ref-
erence my parents. Having
moved to the other side of our
hill last year, we four my
mother, father, Ryan and I -
have lives that beautifully speak
of intergenerational work.
Which is to say: my parents are
always there in the nick of time.
Their basement serves as our
root cellar (where I now have
turnips stored in sand and pota-
toes spread to cure), their
kitchen the site of our preserva-
tion operations on hot summer
days. With time seeming to
compress as I watched the kale,
beans, and beets grow beyond
our control, it was my mother
who willingly welcomed bas-
kets and sacks of produce then
preserved them for us all to
share come winter.
I am much relieved with such
tasks completed, for sure,
thanks to their helping hands.
Their enthusiasm to do so
speaks volumes, more, even,
then their acts themselves. And
so this is about thanks for the
plenty that we have, yes and
gratitude to those closest, with-
out whom plenty would be lost.

WEEK OF SEPT. 2, 2013
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
A little "wool-gathering" for the
usually productive Lamb is all
right if it helps you unwind. But
be careful; too much daydream-
ing can put you behind schedule
in your work.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
A work problem is close to
being resolved. Now you can go
ahead and celebrate the week,
accepting invitations from
friends who enjoy your compa-
ny.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Getting your new plan accepted
won't be a major hassle if you
have the facts to back it up. Your
supporters are also prepared to
help you make your case. Good
luck.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Dealing with a pesky job prob-
lem might be time-consuming
but necessary. The sooner you
get this situation settled, the
sooner you can move on to other
matters.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Career advancement is favored
thanks to your impressive work
record. On the personal side,
you should soon hear some
good news about an ailing fam-
ily member.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) There might be
mixed signals from a certain
someone who doesn't seem all
that certain about his or her
intentions. Best to sort it all out
before it becomes more confus-
ing.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Get all the facts
about that investment "opportu-
nity" before you put even one
dollar into it. There could be
hidden problems that could
prove to be costly.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Compromising
on a matter you feel strongly
about not only ends the impasse,
but can be a win-win deal for
all. Remember: Scorpios do
well with change.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) With all the
demands you currently have to
deal with, accepting the help of
family and friends could be the
wisest course to take at this
time.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Recent upsetting
incidents might have left you
with a big gap in your self-
assurance. Refill it by spending
time with those who know how
worthy you really are.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A dispute about
money needs to be resolved
quickly, before it festers into
something more serious.
Consider asking an impartial
colleague to mediate the matter.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) A soft approach could be
more effective than making a
loud demand for the informa-
tion you need. You might even
find yourself with more data
than you expected.
BORN THIS WEEK: You're
sought out for the wonderful
advice you're able to offer to
others. And sometimes you even
take it yourself.

Sewing Machine
Q: I have a treadle operated
Singer sewing machine in an
oak cabinet from about 1925. I
understand these have become
very popular with collectors.
What is mine worth? -- Bill,
Tyler, Texas
A: Singer sewing machines
were hot with collectors a
decade or two ago, but that
interest has more or less
declined. Most Singers I've seen
in shops and at antique malls
have been priced for less than
$150, even some of the earlier
models.
***
Q: I was a big fan of Ronald
Reagan, and in 1981 purchased
a Carltonware "Spitting Image"
coffee pot with his likeness.
Even though I often visit
antiques malls and shops, I have
not seen another one like it. I
have been offered $150 for it by
a collector. My big question is
whether I should sell it for that
amount or keep it. -- Deborah,
Sun City West, Ariz.
A: Your ceramic coffee pot was
designed by Fluck and Law and
was so popular that knock-offs
also were produced. If your pot
is genuine, it is worth in the
$350 to $650 range.
Since most modern political
campaigns are television driven,
souvenirs have become less
common, especially items such
as your coffee pot. Humor and
satire have been an important
part of our political campaigns,
and that is what makes your pot
so unique and collectible. One
of the better groups for enthusi-
asts is American Political Items
Collectors, P.O. Box 55, Avon,
NY 14414.
***
Q: I have about a dozen older
movie posters, including "Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof," "Portrait in
Black," "Lady Killers," "True
Grit" and "Where's Papa?"
Whom can I contact to find out
what they are worth? -- Steve,
Palm Springs, Calif
A: Conway's Vintage Treasures
is recommended to both buy and
sell movie memorabilia. The
address is P.O. Box 40962,
Providence, RI 02940.

It was famed film producer
and studio executive Samuel
Goldwyn who made the follow-
ing sage observation: "The most
important thing in acting is hon-
esty. Once you've learned to
fake that, you're in."
Sarah Bernhardt, the French
star of stage and early film, who
was often referred to as "the
most famous actress the world
has ever known" and "the divine
Sarah," often slept in a coffin.
She said it helped her to better
understand tragic roles.
Have you ever suffered from
ottorrhea? If you've had a pus-
containing discharge from your
ear, you have.
In the original "Star Trek"
series, a pair of the false ears
worn by Leonard Nimoy in the
role of Spock would last only
three to five days of shooting
before they had to be replaced.
I'm sure you've heard that
President Richard Nixon was
sometimes called "Tricky
Dick," especially toward the end
of his troubled career, but you
may not be familiar with other
nicknames he had. In college his
perceived lack of a sense of
humor prompted the name
"Gloomy Gus," and his tenden-
cy to spend long hours sitting
and studying earned him the
moniker "Iron Butt."
Records show that during the
last seven months of Elvis
Presley's life, he had 5,300 dif-
ferent medications prescribed
for him.
In 1938, Fortune magazine
published a prediction that, in
hindsight, turns out to have been
rather egregiously off the mark:
"Few scientists foresee any seri-
ous or practical use for atomic
energy. They regard the atom-
splitting experiments as useful
steps in the attempt to describe
the atom more accurately, not as
the key to the unlocking of any
new power."
***
Thought for the Day: "Success
usually comes to those who are
too busy to be looking for it." --
Henry David Thoreau
