Anice picture of an American Woodcock.

In this species, there is no pair bond and the male pro-


vides no parental care. Nor is there any evidence of a social dominance hierarchy. The elaborate
courtship ritual of the male American Woodcock may be repeated as long as four months run-
ning, sometimes continuing even after females have already hatched their brood and left the
nest. These birds are seldom seen during the day. They are typically active during times of low
light such as dawn, dusk, moonlit nights and sometime on cloudy days. They also migrate at
night, singly or in small, loose flocks. A group of woodcocks has many collective nouns, including
a "cord", "fall", "flight", "plump", and "rush" of woodcocks - Duane Cross Photo

Ponds Opening _______________________

SUPPORTING ALL THAT IS LOCAL FOR OVER 24 YEARS!

Fishing in New Hampshire's des-
ignated trout ponds and fly-fish-
ing-only ponds opens on the
fourth Saturday in April -- this
year's opening day is April 27,
2013. Fishing is allowed through
October 15. These waters are
managed specifically for trout
and offer anglers the chance to
experience exciting fishing in
some of the Granite State's most
scenic surroundings.
Anglers should note that the date
for the trout pond opening is
stated incorrectly in the 2013
N.H. Freshwater Fishing Digest.
The correct date is listed in the
online version of the Digest at
http://www.fishnh.com/pubs/fish
ing.html. Fishing on these ponds
opens Saturday, April 27, 2013.
"These trout ponds are often the
best waters in a given area for a
variety of reasons," said New
Hampshire Fish and Game De-
partment Fisheries Biologist
Don Miller. "Excellent habitat,
low species competition and the
fact that these ponds are closed
to ice-fishing allow these waters
to be managed for the trout fish-
ing enthusiast."
Ponds managed for trout may be
stocked with one or more
species, including brook, rain-
bow and/or brown trout, with
age classes ranging from year-
lings (8-12 inches), 2-year olds
(12-15 inches), and 3+ year olds
(measured in pounds!).
"Trout are prized by anglers be-
cause they can be a challenge to
catch, and fishing for them is one
of the traditional rites of spring,"
Miller said. "Whether your pas-
sion is a multi-colored brook
trout, a leaping rainbow or the
determined fight of a brown,
there's a New Hampshire trout
pond within reasonable driving
distance for you."
With our "normal" winter this
year, anglers may find their fa-
vorite north-country ponds still
covered with ice. High-elevation
remote ponds from the central
White Mountain region north are
likely to be partially ice-covered
this year. Fortunately, anglers

can find open water along the
shorelines to allow some limited
fishing until the ice clears in a
few days.
Hot Hole Pond and Clough Pond
in Loudon, French Pond in Hen-
niker, Mount William Pond in
Weare, Dublin Lake in Dublin,
and Barbadoes Pond in Madbury
are a few of the generously
stocked early season hotspots
where opening day trout are
taken. It gets no better than this
for taking the youngsters along
with a simple garden hackle
under a bobber, or floating
PowerBait fished just off the bot-
tom.
There are many popular ponds
located from the Lakes Region
north to Pittsburg. They include
Echo Lake in Franconia, Russell
Pond in Woodstock, Conner
Pond and Duncan Lake in Os-
sipee, White Lake in Tamworth,
Perch Pond in Campton, Salt-
marsh Pond in Gilford, Spectacle
Pond in Groton, Back Lake in
Pittsburg, Fish Pond in Colum-
bia and Little Diamond Pond in
Stewartstown.
Anglers looking for a true
wilderness experience will enjoy
visiting one of the nearly 50 re-
mote trout ponds that Fish and
Game annually stocks with fin-
gerling brook trout via helicop-
ter. These are listed at
http://www.fishnh.com/Fishing/t
rout_remote.htm. Flat Mountain
Pond in Sandwich, Cole Pond in
Enfield (fly fishing only), But-
terfield Pond in Wilmot, Peaked
Hill Pond in Thornton, Black
Pond and Lonesome Lake in
Lincoln are just a sampling of
these delightful ponds, where
fingerling brook trout often grow
to 8-10 inches by their second
growing season, and it's not un-
usual to pull in brookies 15
inches or longer. Trophy, remote-
pond brook trout (three or more
years old, some in excess of 17-
18 inches) can be caught in these
backcountry waters.
Archery Pond in Allenstown
(with a wheelchair-accessible
casting platform) and Stone-
house Pond in Barrington are
two popular fly-fishing-only
ponds that will be ice-free and
well stocked for the opener. If
you travel over to Antrim and
fish Willard Pond, you will be
treated to forested, undeveloped
shorelines and the triple treat
of fly-fishing: brook, rainbow
and tiger trout.
Further north, some excellent
fly-fishing-only ponds include
Upper Hall Pond in Sandwich,
Sky Pond in New Hampton and
Profile Lake in Franconia (check
the Freshwater Fishing Digest
for special regulations) on these
waters. In addition, White Pond
in Ossipee and Coon Brook Bog
in Pittsburg offer excellent op-
portunities to "match the hatch"
throughout spring and early
summer.

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,
someone needs some anger con-
trol.... A teen was arrested after
deputies said she set her family's
home on fire. Deputies said 18-
year-old Destiny Davis set fire to
her home after becoming upset
with her parents. Davis set a
fire on the stove, which spread to
the living room and one of the
bedrooms of the home, deputies
said. Davis was charged with
third-degree arson. [FOX Car-
olina]
Next, authorities say a 6-year-
old boy seeking Chinese food
took his father's car for a morn-
ing joyride. The sheriff's depart-
ment says it was alerted by other
drivers who saw a youngster
driving erratically on M-24,
about 60 miles north of Detroit.
When deputies arrived, two driv-
ers had the car boxed in, and one
of them pulled the keys from the
ignition. Sgt. Andy Engster tells
The Detroit News that the boy
had no previous driving experi-
ence but wanted Chinese food
around 7:30 a.m. Authorities say
the boy also wanted to get the car
repaired after hitting a sign. The
boy's father told deputies that he
was asleep and didn't know his
son was gone.
[www.azcentral.com] Now I
have a craving for Hong Kong
Gardens hot and sour soup (the
best!).
Finally, a 16-year-old St. Joseph
student faces juvenile charges
after being accused of urinating
in a faculty coffee pot. The St.
Joseph News-Press reports the
Central High School student was
charged in juvenile court with
third-degree assault. Buchanan
County Juvenile Office Chief
Administrator Linda Meyer says
that office received the report of
a student who allegedly entered
a faculty area at the school and
urinated in the coffee pot. Police
Capt. Matt Rock says adminis-
trators notified the school re-
source officer more than three
weeks after the alleged incident.
Superintendent Melody Smith
says administrators began inves-
tigating after a teacher reported
a chemical-taste to the coffee.
She says the three-week gap in-
cluded spring break and addi-
tional time for the schools tech-
nician to review video tape.
I was just thinking of the medias
Thresher disaster coverage a few
weeks ago. I remember it hap-
pening, but thats all. There were
many other major moments I re-
member, but there were a few
events that I will also never for-
get exactly where I was when I
heard: 9/11, the Challenger dis-
aster, JFKs assassination, the
East Coast blackout, the OJ ver-
dict, and now the Boston
Marathon. I love Boston! Be
strong. If real life was like
Criminal Minds, Garcia, we
need to know who bombed the
Boston Marathon. Shed have it
in minutes.
An Iowa couple has become the
first to get married at the Denny's
wedding chapel in Las Vegas.
Nancy Levandowski and Steve
Keller tied the knot while some
well-wishers sat in booths and
restaurant patrons ate dinner
nearby. The 53-year-old bride is
the food service director at Iowa
State University in Ames, while
her 54-year-old husband is a
salesman for a food company.
Nancy Levandowski says she
often ate at Denny's restaurants
during college, while Keller says
he frequents the 24-hour pan-
cake house while traveling. The
couple was selected from a pool
of applicants vying to be the first
married at the chapel inside the
new restaurant. Ceremonies at
the chapel start at $95, which in-
cludes Denny's T-shirts and a
Pancake Puppies wedding cake.
While watching some hockey, I
noticed all the ads along the
boards (they first started in 1980
BTW). Even as I type this, the
backstop in baseball has ads. My
question is how much the rinks
and ball parks pay the advertisers
to have them there. I mean, if a
hat or shirt I have has advertis-
ing, why arent they paying me
to wear them??
Extreme Couponing! After see-
ing a couple of shows, I know
Id rather spend my life doing
something else.
Finally, stop complaining! Base-
ball player Jacob Tobias was
born without most of his left
arm. He adapted to the game
quickly. "I remember being frus-
trated at how easy my dad and
brother could do it [playing
catch]," said Tobias. "Seeing I
had to do it a little different way,
it was sometimes frustrating." So
with the help of his family, he
learned to play the game one-
handed. "He wants to prove to
anyone that he competes against
that he deserves to be on the
same field as they do," said Van
head coach Jerami Hawkins. "A
lot of people tell me and the guys
joke with me, if I had two hands
I would be going pro by now."
He says he doesn't mind people
talking about his left arm or lack
thereof. He does all his talking,
with his right arm. "You will
never hear him use that has a
crutch or a shortcoming," said
Hawkins. "He actually uses that
to his advantage." "That just
gives me more motivation to
prove that I am just as good as
anyone else with two hands, and
I am going to prove that I don't
need another hand to do my
best." According to MaxPreps,
Tobias is batting over .280 this
year and has scored 17 runs for
the Vandals. Tobias also plays
football and runs track at Van.

I'm at the tail end of a bad cold
and the last thing I wanted to do
was climb a mountain. The first
thing, and what I've mostly been
doing, is rolling over and going
back to sleep.
Then Monday came. Not just
any Monday but Boston
Marathon Monday.
It used to be my favorite day of
the year. As a kid we had it off
from school and were charged
with excitement because of the
early morning reenactment in
Lexington and Concord, the
morning start of the Red Sox
game, and, of course, the
marathon itself. Growing up in
the suburbs of Boston only a
couple of towns away from Hop-
kinton and having an older
brother who was a great runner
who ran in the race when only a
teenager and being nurtured on
the legends of Johnny Kelly,
Tarzan Brown, Clarence DeMar,
Johnny Kelly the Younger, Jock
Semple, and Katherine Switzer,
I couldn't help but be seduced by
the drama of the day. To me
these people weren't mere mor-
tals - they were gods capable of
superhuman abilities.
On one of those Patriots Days
when I was young I was one of
four friends relaxing in the shade
on a neighbor's front porch lis-
tening to the race and we all
made a pledge to run the
marathon by the time we were
twenty-five. But those were the
days before my legs went bad.
In junior high and high school I
spent the better part of two and a
half years on crutches. Four full
legs casts immobilized my left
knee, one did the same to my
right. There were also two sur-
geries on the left knee to combat
the problems in my legs and
when the surgeries were com-
pleted the doctor was pleased.
"You'll be fine. You'll be able to
walk without trouble but don't
plan on being any kind of an ath-
lete," he said.
I believed him. For a while. But
as my teens turned to my early
twenties I remembered that front
porch pledge we four friends
made and I tried running. It was-
n't easy. As a matter of fact, back
then it was always painful. But
I knew pain from those earlier
years and I knew I could deal
with it so I ran on. Not far, just
enough to say I was running.
Maybe four miles. I never en-
tered any races but always
thought about one. The one.
Patriot's Day is the third Monday
of every April. The date floats.
As fate would have it my
twenty-fifth birthday fell on the
day of the marathon. With a few
months to go I upped my
mileage. Still not very far but I
was still running. Ten days be-
fore the race I ran the farthest I'd
ever run - 11 miles. Somehow
after that I knew I could do it.
When the day came I lined up
with the rest of the "bandits" (un-
official runners) in mass behind
the numbered runners who had
qualified. Before even reaching
Heartbreak Hill I wanted to stop.
I'd run fifteen miles and I'd had
enough. My head dropped, I put
my hands on my hips, and ad-
mitted defeat. Around then I felt
a tug on my arm and a fellow
said, "Come on, if I can do it, so
can you." I wanted to reach out
and slap the man with the voice
and tell him about my legs and
their troubled past. When I
looked up he was standing next
to me looking quite lean and fit
and . . . with only one leg. The
other was a prosthetic. His name
was Pat Griskus and on that day
he pulled me along with him and
we ran several miles together.
Eventually I finished in just
under four hours while Pat set a
record that day for a runner with
a prosthetic.
I would run Boston for the next
four years and graduate to Iron-
man Triathlons...three of them.
The first was on the Cape, the
next two in Sunapee. All the
while I looked as out of place as
I have on the mountains. I was
never chiseled and lean. I had
strong legs, a strong heart and
lungs, but a double chin. Those
experiences in my late twenties
would later fuel my belief in my
endurance in these great moun-
tains we hike in. And once you
run Boston it is always in you.
It's part of who you are and will
always be. It made me believe
in myself.
So on Wednesday, with the un-
thinkable actions of the previous
Monday in my head and sunken
heart, with the thought of three
dead - one an eight year old boy,
and legs amputated and other
limbs lost, not to mention hopes
and innocence lost, I decided
that my cold would have to take
a back seat while we sought our
reality. We didn't hike too high
or too far. Instead we worked
slowly up a steep section that
wears me out at my best and I
stopped often, coughing and
sneezing. I ached a bit, wore my
fatigue like a heavy coat, and
took a seat more than I'd like to
admit on the way up. But there
on that slow climb I sat sweat-
ing, catching my breath, watch-
ing spring fight through the last
remnants of snow and ice, and
heard the birds sing - and I could
feel the mountain come to life
and me with it.
We climbed to some of our fa-
vorite ledges, I lay on my back
looking up at the sky and when I
was rested I sat up and took a
seat next to Atticus who was
looking out at distant mountains
and down at a nearby lake. I
thought of the life we led back in
Newburyport, a forty-minute
ride from Boston...a life filled
with chaos and the corruption I
covered in my newspaper and
what now in comparison looks to
be a dizzying pace of life and I
was thankful for these mountains
of my childhood we rediscov-
ered together. Sitting up there
surrounded by nature I said my
prayers and everywhere I looked
I saw God.
John Muir has a great quote that
goes like this: The gross hea-
thenism of civilization has gen-
erally destroyed nature, and
poetry, and all that is spiritual.
I thought about those words and
how crazy the world can be and
how it seems as though it's get-
ting crazier all the time. I
thought about those who would
terrorize us, those who would
destroy not just nature, but the
nature within us and a totally dif-
ferent thought came to my mind.
When I remember that horrible
day I will not remember one per-
son's horrific deed, but the reac-
tions of so many more. I'll
remember that some runners,
having run twenty-six miles, de-
cided there was something more
important than rest and ran an
additional two miles to Mass
General Hospital to donate
blood. I'll remember the doctor
who ran the marathon and then
went to work and operated on
some of the victims. I'll remem-
ber the incredible humanity of
the first responders who ran to-
ward where the bombs were ex-
ploding to help others. When I
think of these things I under-
stood that terrorists will never
win - if we don't let them. Hu-
manity is too strong for that.
And this is why I climb moun-
tains. It's for the perspective. It's
for the way it sets my mind
straight and helps me see what's
most important. Most impor-
tantly nature and the mountains
resets my soul.
Life is not about what some
would take away; it's about what
we put back into it. it's about
possibilities. Whenever I get
tired climbing a mountain I think
about my first Boston Marathon
and how an amputee stopped to
help a full-bodied young man
who was ready to give up. That
spirit has stayed with me and al-
ways tells me that anything is
possible. It's what makes me and
so many others Boston Strong.

For the third consecutive year,
the same word remains on top of
the worlds most annoying word
category!
Its the word, whatever. I
guess Ican agree with that, see-
ing Ihear it all the time. In
stores, at gas stations, on tv
shows, on commercials, etc.
When you think about it, it truly
is a very annoying word. Espe-
cially when stated by a son or
daughter at something you have
just said to them!
Words and phrases such as, "You
know," "whatever" "like you
know." and only to be topped off
by the phrase of, just sayin.
Yup, pretty annoying words.
But seriously dropped off the
list for the first time in a while. It
must be people arent saying it
any longer or people are just
growing up and getting over it.
We all had our words throughout
the times. We had words like
cool, raunchy, totally,
brother, awesome, and
many others!
But seriously, there are actually,
basically and quite literally
loads of, like, you know, annoy-
ing words and stuff out there, just
sayin.
Then theres dude! Hey dude,
whats up dude, whoa dude,
dude, you look terrible. Oh my
god dude, what happened?
For a while last year and the
year before it was, waaasup!
Like in whats up, only, newly re-
vised to the waasup.
This year Icould axe words like
fiscal cliff, gun control,
TSA.
Words like, yuppers, woot
and I know, right! follow
pretty close to some peoples
hearts in getting rid of.
Of course there are also words
such as; doomsday, extremists
and scandal.
Iam also really getting sick and
tired of the word, surreal!
Oh yes, the list could go on and
on and on. But hey, its cool, we
just try to keep up with the all the
new words our youth tend to
throw our way, because sooner
or later, they too, will be using
words like glasses, AARP, retire-
ment, colonoscopy, bills and
taxes.
But as with every generation,
there will always be annoying
words and phrases. So just get
over it!
Nobody really asked, just my
opinion... and if you dont like
it,whatever!
~ B.E.F.
I'm troubled by the proposed tax
increase in Warren that is caused
by the school budget, recently
approved at town meeting.
The only subject of discussion
was the issue of school choice.
The rest of the budget is pre-
pared by the school board with
minimal taxpayer input, our
fault, not theirs. School choice is
only one of many budget items.
And, how does one determine a
reasonable budget if you can't
know how many students are
going to which school? And the
cost of additional busing? So I
considered other budget items.
My observation:
Warren Village School is over-
staffed. There are less than 75
students and about 33 staff,
Class size is reduced and always
variable, as the general popula-
tion changes. I think that the
staff should be reduced and vari-
able too. For instance:
Eliminate the principal's job.
$75,000
Combine grades 1 and 2,
16 students
Combine grades 3 and 4,
15 students
Thus, eliminate two teacher po-
sitions $97,000
Do we need three teacher's
aides? For six teachers? Or for
four teachers? $50,000
Total $222,000
Add to those base salaries of
$222,000 the associated costs
of about 40% $88,800
Potential savings to the Warren
taxpayers
New Total $310,800
Divided by the stated cost of
Warren elementary school,
$1,439,013 equals 21%
reduction to budget.
The above is, admittedly, a first
glance, broad-brush review of
the budget. Certainly worth fur-
ther study by the school board
and other interested taxpayers as
well as the employees involved.
Question: How many additional
properties in town are in danger
of a tax lien or foreclosure if we
do not consider these and other
cost saving measures?
IMPORTANT: Taxpayers must
have a voice on the school
board.
Taxpayers have a right to a rep-
resentative vote on each budget
item.
There is to be a meeting of the
School Board and interested
taxpayers at the school gym, 30
April @ 6:30.

To The Editor______ Letter To The Editor____________________
On October 17, 2012 Ed Che-
rien from Iberdrola did a presen-
tation at the Grafton Fire House
where he stated that they would
not force themselves on any town
that didn't want a wind turbine
project constructed there.
Again, at a Q&A session in
Alexandria, New Hampshire on
December 17, 2012 he stated
that if Iberdrola didn't have the
community's support, they would
not move forward on the project.
As you may know, both towns
had warrant articles pertaining
to this project on the ballot this
March. The overwhelming re-
sponse has been that we, the res-
idents of these towns, do NOT
want the wind turbines. Bridge-
water, a neighboring town to this
project that would be economi-
cally impacted also voted
against wind projects on a war-
rant article at their town meet-
ing. So why hasn't Iberdrola
issued a press release announc-
ing their intent to stop pursuing
this industrial wind project
known as Wild Meadows Wind?
I've written to Mr. Cherien twice,
on March 18th and again on
March 26th asking this very
question. As of April 4th he has
yet to respond to my emails.
At a meeting in January with the
Groton selectmen, Miles Sin-
clair, speaking for the Groton Se-
lect Board, spoke of what an
honest and trustworthy man Ed
Cherien is. As he has spent a
great deal of time meeting with
him I can only he assume he
knows Ed much better than those
of us who've only had exposure
to him at the above mentioned
presentations and Q&A sessions.
In light of selectman Sinclair
vouching for Mr. Cherien's char-
acter and there being video
recorded of the statements made
in Alexandria you'd think the
press release, or at least a writ-
ten response to my emails would
be a reasonable expectation,
wouldn't you?
It's time to show us if he's the
honest man claimed to be, or if
his true colors tell a different
story. Let's hope he stands by his
word and puts an end to this
project now!

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, I love the psalms.This psalm
praises the Lord and all He has done! Psalm
146. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my
soul!While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing
praises to my God while I have my being. Do not
put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in
whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns
to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. Happy
is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose
hope is in the Lord his God, Who made heaven and
earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps
truth forever, Who executes justice for the op-
pressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord
gives freedom to the prisoners. The Lord opens the
eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are
bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous. The
Lord watches over the strangers; He relieves the fa-
therless and widow; But the way of the wicked He
turns upside down. The Lord shall reign forever
Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the
Lord! Have you thanked Him today? Have you read
His Word?Why don't you do that! God love you all.
HAPPY SPRING!

Dear EarthTalk: My kids just
want to play videos games and
watch TV all day. Do you have
any tips for getting them outside
to appreciate nature more?
-- Sue Levinson, Bowie, MD
Getting kids away from com-
puter and TV screens and outside
into the fresh air is an increasing
challenge for parents every-
where. Researchers have found
that U.S. children today spend
about half as much time out-
doors as their counterparts did 20
years ago. The Kaiser Family
Foundation reports that kids
aged eight to 18 spend on aver-
age more than seven and a half
hours a dayor some 53+ hours
per weekengaging with so-
called entertainment media.
Meanwhile, the Children & Na-
ture Network (C&NN), a non-
profit founded by writers and
educators concerned about na-
ture deficit disorder, finds that,
in a typical week, only six per-
cent of American kids aged nine
to 13 plays outside on their own.
According to Richard Louv, a
founding board member of
C&NN and author of the book,
Last Child in the Woods, kids
who stay inside too much can
suffer from nature deficit disor-
der which can contribute to a
range of behavioral problems in-
cluding attention disorders, de-
pression and declining creativity
as well as physical problems like
obesity. Louv blames parental
paranoia about potential dangers
lurking outdoors and restricted
access to natural areascom-
bined with the lure of video
games, websites and TV.
Of course, one of the keys to get-
ting kids to appreciate nature is
for parents to lead by example
by getting off the couch and into
the outdoors themselves. Since
kids love being with their par-
ents, why not take the fun out-
side? For those kids who need a
little extra prodding beyond fol-
lowing a parents good example,
the National Wildlife Federation
(NWF), a leading national non-
profit dedicated to preserving
and appreciating wildlife, offers
lots of suggestions and other re-
sources through its Be Out There
campaign.
One tip is to pack an explorers
kitcomplete with a magnify-
ing glass, binoculars, containers
for collecting, field guides, a
notebook, bug repellent and
band-aidsinto a backpack and
leave it by the door to facilitate
spontaneous outdoor adventures.
Another idea is to set aside one
hour each day as green hour,
during which kids go outside ex-
ploring, discovering and learning
about the natural world.
NWFs online Activity Finder
helps parents discover fun out-
door activities segmented by
age. Examples include going on
a Conifer Quest and making a
board displaying the different
types of evergreen trees in the
neighborhood, turning an old
soda bottle into a terrarium and
building a wildlife brush shelter.
Another great source of inspira-
tion is C&NN which, during the
month of April, is encouraging
people of all ages to spend more
time outdoors at various family-
friendly events as part of its na-
tionwide Lets Get Outside
initiative. Visitors to the C&NN
website can scroll through
dozens of events within driving
distance of most Americans
and anyone can register an ap-
propriate event there as well.
Researchers have found that
children who play outside more
are in better shape, more cre-
ative, less aggressive and show
better concentration than their
couch potato counterpartsand
that the most direct route to en-
vironmental awareness for adults
is participating in wild nature ac-
tivities as kids. So do yourself
and your kid(s) a favor, and take
a hike!

Springs Dance
Springs surge of energy is
everywhere: in the swelling of
buds that give hillsides a warm
red glow, tulip leaves poke up re-
gardless of remaining spring
snows, chipmunks fluff up their
tails and dart around old haunts,
the air smells fresh, spiders hatch
everywhere, winter stuff is
stowed in favor of spring hikes;
were getting out the canoes and
kayaks; the juncos are back.
Earth teems with the fever of
mating as spring throws off its
winter blanket and we humans,
just one species among all who
share this planet, reliably start a
fresh year. Were as predictable
as the chipmunks, and I wonder
if other species say to each other,
I just saw a few humans out
picking up trash on route 175,
or perhaps the robins are saying,
that pile those humans raked up
scratching earths back gives us
the best building materials for
this years nest.
Sometimes humans forget that
we are just one of the life forms
on earth. We forget that we have
an important role in earths
dance for all beings to share the
space, water supply, and land
with each other so that we can all
continue to thrive and survive.
This week, Canadian activist and
world citizen, Maude Barlow,
spoke at PSU, updating us on our
need to care for the earths water
responsibly. PSU students have
organized to ban the sale of bot-
tled water on campus. 75 percent
of bottled water bottles are
trashed, not recycled, and the
water they contain often does not
meet the standards of regular tap
water. Good news is that even
airports are now installing tap
water spigots so that it is possi-
ble for us to carry our own con-
tainers and refill them safely
while traveling.
Barlows latest book, Blue
Covenant, is available in local li-
braries and YouTube carries sev-
eral of her lectures.
Many of us rely on our NH
mountains to pump up our spir-
its. Whether we actually hike in
the high peaks or walk in nearby
wooded areas, spring is a time to
be aware of how much our
woods and all the life forms they
house nourish us as well. Hope-
fully, we will choose to protect
our woodlands and not cut them
up with tower paths that stifle
life in the forest.
Whenever we threaten the life of
other species, we threaten our
own as well. Whenever we value
and safeguard other species, our
own health reverberates with ro-
bust energy.
Heres to fully embracing
springs dance!

April To-Dos
It would seem as if we are still on
the border of winter and spring.
As the sun gets stronger, the snow
all but retreatsand then hail,
sleet, snow, and freezing temper-
atures conspire to blanket the
ground once again. One day I am
watering the greens and brassicas
behind the mini, makeshift
greenhouse of old window-
panes angled off the south side of
the cabin; the next day I am car-
rying an extra large armload of
wood inside to alleviate the chill
of freezing precipitation.
Not that I mind so much. This os-
cillation between extremes is one
of the things I like about April.
When it comes to plants, it be-
comes a vegetative version of
Risk. How early can plants be in
the ground? Which round of
snow showers is the last for the
season? How long with the latest
stretch of freezing temperatures
last? What conditions can the
plants tolerate and for how
long? It is a guaranteed lesson in
humility, and a perpetual see-saw
between prudence and boldness.
Last week was particularly excit-
ing. While the snow was reced-
ing noticeably by the hour, birds
and their lilting songs appeared to
wake us in the mornings. The
soil turned from frozen, to mud,
to friable dirt. Within the cold
frame, I seeded lettuces and some
early carrots, while around the
compost I planted peas. Ryan set
aside logs to be inoculated with
shiitake spawn, and I established
the makeshift greenhouse for the
boxes of spinach, kale, chard, and
lettuces that comprise our tiny-
but-tender April salads. The gar-
lics green stalks were poking
through the inches of mulch with
vigor, the chives were greening
under our watch, and the rhubarb
began pushing its crown through
the dirt.
To top it off, the rootstock of fruit
trees, berry bushes, and perennial
herb crowns arrived! In less than
a day, blueberry bushes, cran-
berry starts, apple trees, pear
trees, peach trees, asparagus,
lavender, and additional rhubarb
were planted into our growing
gardens and mulched with care.
But, of course, it is April. Just as
the momentum grew, hail and
snow descended. Fat peach buds
spent 36 hours wrapped in plastic
bags, while peas huddled under
the protection of some plastic
scraps and the lower half of an
old sliding window. Boxes of
greens stayed inside on the
kitchen table, and the green-
house sat empty through the
squall.
The plants made it through, how-
ever, at least thus far. But Aprils
not over yet, and May can cer-
tainly offer some freezing
stretches. Nevertheless, as dirt
collects under my nails, and time
in the sun gives my cheeks a per-
manent flush. spring is surely,
steadily, approaching. Excite-
ment and the to-do list grows
with each day.

maintenance, orchard care, or
