One of the most haunting, yet beatiful calls comes from the Common Loon. You can hear them on many of our north country
lakes and ponds. The strange yodel or loon laughter of the Common Loon was described by the famous naturalist John
Muir. They make underwater fishing dives of up to 200 feet below the surface. They are adapted for diving with heavy bones and
eyes that can focus both in air and water. This bird is the state bird of Minnesota. It also appears on the loonie coin in Canada.
A group of loons has many collective nouns, including an "asylum", "cry", "loomery", "raft", and "water dance" of loons

July - the hot lazy days of sum-
mer when we all want to be out-
side near a lake, river or ocean
doing some summer activity.
Most of us, however, still have
to go through the daily routine
of work, chores and family obli-
gations. Are we doing it while
keeping healthy choices in
mind?
A few weeks ago, I attended the
Health Summit facilitated by
the North Country Health
Consortium. The folks in atten-
dance, as we watched The
Weight of a Nation, were there
for one purpose: representing
their group, their school, their
agency, their health care site or
themselves to find out how we
as a region can influence the
people that surround us to make
healthy lifestyle choices.
During the afternoon, we had
four round robin sessions where
participants gave their ideas and
responses to some key ques-
tions. In three of the sessions,
the questions were targeted
about workplace wellness,
school wellness, and availability
of community wide healthy
food and drinks.
The other session, facilitated by
Andy Muller from the
Appalachian Mountain Club,
asked, If you had to identify
one single step as the start to
your own well-being program,
what would it be?
The way my mind works, I
think any systematic change
needs to begin with ourselves.
The question got to that: asking
participants who represented a
wide variety of entities, what
they would do themselves to
change to a healthy habit. All

month. The program recently
opened their admissions to
admit a small percentage of
minors who demonstrate a com-
mitment to the environment.
Samantha and Lincoln, who are
interested in sustainability and
living a greener lifestyle, live in
Canaan with their mother,
Kimberly Depelteau Tracey,
where they are already making
changes to reduce their carbon
footprint.
The Climate Reality Training
initiative is designed to create a
global network of concerned
citizens working to alert their
communities to the reality of
climate change. The Chicago
program expects to have a
worldwide international pres-
ence; the recent training in
Istanbul, Turkey had representa-
tives from over 77 different
countries in attendance.
Former Vice President, Al Gore,
will lead the three-day intensive
that will cover: the latest science
of climate changes, best prac-
tices in public speaking, social
media, leadership skills, com-
munication strategies, commu-
nity outreach and organization.
At the completion of the train-
ing, Samantha and Lincoln will
be members of a global network
of Climate Leaders. Their goal
when they return to the Upper
Valley is to share their knowl-
edge and to stimulate conversa-
tions within the community.
Samantha is employed at
Kendal at Hanover. Lincoln will
be spending the summer in
Tennessee where he will take a
workshop at the East Tennessee
State University Tennessee
Small Business Development
Center in Social Media, and will
be doing environmental studies
of Brush Creek.

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,
a 19-year-old man was shot and
killed in a drive-by on the day
he was to be married. Police
believe the shooting happened
in another area from where the
victim was found. After the
shooting, the friend drove the
car to a residential area and
called 911. Police are trying to
figure out a motive for the
shooting. A gang connection has
not been ruled out, police say.

Next, someone needs to take a
chill pill! One man has been
arrested in northern Brazil after
a referee who fatally stabbed an
amateur player over his refusal
to leave the field was decapitat-
ed by a mob. Referee Octavio
da Silva, 20, stabbed player
Josenir dos Santos, 30, after dos
Santos refused to heed his order
to leave. A mob then turned on
da Silva, killing him before sev-
ering his head. [Reuters]
Finally, it just needs a little
TLC! A Philadelphia realtor was
fired after video surfaced of her
allegedly throwing dead mice
and snakes on a neighboring
home for sale, police said.
Andrea Straub, a real estate
agent, allegedly took offense
with her neighbors for sale sign
in the upscale Philly suburb,
where homes are regularly val-
ued more than $1 million.
Police reports indicated Straub
thought the sign violated town-
ship codes and she kicked it
down. Surveillance video taken
then showed Straub allegedly
dumping dead mice and snakes
on her neighbors driveway in
an effort to hamper the sale. The
homeowner said tree branches
were cut down and left on the
lawn. Straubs lawyer called the
allegations horrible falsities
and said shed lost her job due
to the negative publicity.
[www.upi.com] Play fair, peo-
ple!
Facebook meme, You wouldnt
want a steak that was nothing
but bone, why would you want a
woman who was? Of course, I
wouldnt want a steak that was
loaded with fat either there has
to be a happy medium-well.
Oldies But Goodies Vol. 2
sigh! How much respect can I
give the album series when it
included Barbara Ann by The
Beach Boys (1965)! The better
original was by The Regents
(1961). Puh-leeze!
Thinning the human herd....
Several thousand thrill-seekers
tested their bravery by dashing
alongside six fighting bulls
through the streets of the north-
ern Spanish city of Pamplona on
the first day of the running of
the bulls. Despite a large crowd
of participants because the run
coincided with a weekend, only
four people were treated for
injuries and no one was gored.
Too bad.
A love story! Jennifer Altman
has almost 3,000 stitches
caused by the man she loved
(yes, love is often blind).
Jennifer is the estranged wife of
23-year-old Dartanyan
Kingsberry. Last week while
Jennifer was on her way to
work, he appeared and grabbed
her cell phone. She ran after
him, wanting her phone back.
She says, When he got me to
the front of his mothers build-
ing, he just started slashing
mewith a box cutter. I just
remember him saying that I
wasnt going to be pretty for
anyone else. If he cant have me
no one can have me. I just
remember trying to protect my
neck because he was trying to
slash my neck and I didnt want
to go out like that. I just remem-
ber bending down on the floor
and letting him slash the rest of
my body. Dartanyans mother
called police. He took off.
[www.pix11.com]
Finally, disarmed and not
dangerous! Bringing an arm
home from war as a souvenir.
Weird. Returning it to the man
you took it from 47 years later?
Bizarre, but that is exactly what
an American doctor did when he
looked up the North Vietnamese
soldier he operated on nearly a
half century earlier. In 1966 Dr.
Sam Axelrad was a 27-year-old
military doctor serving in
Vietnam when Nguyen Quang
Hung was brought to his table
with a three-day-old wound in
his arm. In order to save his life,
Dr. Axelrad amputated the arm
above the elbow. Axelrad said
his colleagues boiled off the
flesh, reconstructed the arm
bones and gave them to him as a
reminder of a good deed per-
formed. When Axelrad finally
looked through his war memen-
tos all those years later at his
home in Texas he was motivated
to find out if the soldier was still
alive. As it turns out he was, and
well. So the good doctor packed
the arm and decided to take his
family on vacation to Vietnam.
Hung was surprised to be reunit-
ed with his lost limb, to say the
least. I cant believe that an
American doctor took my
infected arm, got rid of the
flesh, dried it, took it home and
kept it for more than 40 years,
he said. The men were reunited
at Hungs home in Vietnam.
They met each others children,
and grandchildren, and joked
about which of them had been
better looking back when war
made them enemies. [Bizarre
News] Whew!
Later.
Who knew how many different

Stand up during phone calls.
When I eat out, I ask for a box
right away and split my meal in
half.
Make food rules: Use a small-
er plate. No seconds. Dont
bring food to the table- serve
plated in the kitchen.
Make large batches; freeze in
meal size portions for future
use.
Plant a garden. Work in the
garden. Eat the harvest.
Start with 5-10 minute walks
each day and add 5-10 minutes a
week.
When the individuals who gave
these responses at the confer-
ence make changes, they are
role models for those around
them. In turn, as individuals
who have made healthy
changes, they help to get the
organizations, work places,
schools and friends to see what
a difference the changes have
made in their life. Individuals
help to promote those changes
in the community they are in.
One person, one change, can
pay it forward. According to
The Center for Disease Control,
in a September, 2012 research
report, 25% of adults in New
Hampshire are considered
obese; 62% are considered over-
weight. The number of obese
school age children, according
to the same report, is 12% with
13% considered obese. We are
starting to see a shift for the bet-
ter and we must continue to be
role models and advocates for
what are right for all of us health
wise.
If each of us picks just one way
we can improve ourselves,
maybe, just maybe, it will spill
over to workplace policies, fam-
ily habits and community.
Personally, Im swimming three
days a week and making an
effort to walk the dog a couple
of miles three days a week. It
all adds up: healthier bodies,
healthier attitudes and healthier
lifestyles.

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 compan-
ionship, help with routine tasks,
run errands, grocery shop, pre-
pare meals, wash laundry and
do light housekeeping, or remi-
nisce and record life stories.
Volunteers may also assist staff
in the hospice office, or partici-
pate in community outreach and
fundraising. Many share special
talents such as Reiki, massage,
pet therapy, or music therapy
and aromatherapy.
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 partici-
pate in the training program
which will be held at Littleton
Regional Hospital on Tuesday
evenings, beginning September
3rd.
Preregistration is required. For
additional information, contact
Sue Buteau, Hospice Volunteer
Coordinator for North Country
Home Health and Hospice, at

Hello folks and welcome to this

SIGN UP NOW FOR
BARRY CAMP WILD
GAME CULINARY ADVEN-
TURE: SEPTEMBER 27-29
IN MILAN
Back by popular demand, regis-
tration is now open for the Barry
Camp Wild Game Culinary
Adventure, a weekend explor-
ing wild game preparation and
cooking to be held at Barry
Conservation Camp in Milan,
N.H., September 27-29, 2013.
The cost of the event is $150,
which includes meals, instruc-
tion and rustic lodging. All pro-
ceeds benefit the Barry Camp
Fund. A print-and-mail applica-
tion is available at
http://www.huntnh.com/bar-
rycamp/game_weekend.html or
call 603-271-3211. Register
right away if you are interested -
- this event is limited to 35 par-
ticipants and fills up fast.
The wild game weekend is
sponsored by the N.H. Fish and
Game Department, the New
Hampshire Wildlife Federation
and the Belknap County
Sportsmen's Association.
Participants will get hands-on
instruction and practice dressing
wild game, cutting meat, plan-
ning game menus, and prepar-
ing wild game for cooking.
Come experience the taste of the
wild! The event is open to men
and women age 18 and older. At
last year's event, several group-
ings of family and friends
signed up to enjoy the adventure
together.
On Friday evening (September
27), check-in begins at 5 p.m.
and the program starts at 7 p.m.
Saturday is a full day of hands-
on instruction and cooking, fol-
lowed by a game dinner and
entertainment 'round the camp-
fire with music by Don Watson.
The program wraps up at noon
on Sunday, September 29.
"This is a real backwoods culi-
nary adventure that will prepare
you to savor the flavors of the
wild," said event organizer Gary
Sleeper of the Belknap County
Sportsmen's Association.
"Come enjoy a fall weekend in
the natural beauty of the White
Mountains while you learn from
experienced wild game chefs."
"Since this is a fundraiser for
Barry Conservation Camp,
you'll also be supporting a good
cause, helping to ensure that the
camp will be there to connect
future generations of youth to
the outdoor life," said Sleeper.
In recent years, the state's out-
door community, led by the
Belknap County Sportsmen,
have renovated facilities at
Barry Conservation Camp,
which provides overnight sum-
mer youth programming spon-
sored by N.H. Fish and Game
and 4-H Cooperative Extension.
A campaign is also underway to
build the Barry Camp Fund to
provide operating expenses and
ensure the camp's future finan-
cial stability. To donate to the
Barry Camp Fund or learn more
about the project, visit

rycamp.

tions or sponsorships; contact

"If you talk to the animals, they
will talk with you and you will
know each other. If you do not
talk to them you will not know
them, and what you do not know,
you will fear. What one fears, one
destroys..."

week. Until the next time, as

bats and fireflies and looked to
the southwest just above the trees.
It was warm but comfortable and
the bugs let us be. Will sat
upright on my lap and when the
first starburst of fireworks
exploded it lit up the sky and his
face, and the clouds in his eyes
were replaced by wonder.
Atticus had the other chair to
himself, his sore left paw dan-
gling over the edge. For a change
he and I were looking up at the
show and not down from South
Doublehead. From time to time
he looked over at me and I won-
dered if he knew things were dif-
ferent this year.
For fifteen minutes we watched
fire in the sky and by the time the
grand finale began Will was
asleep, his head against my chest.
When the smoke and traffic even-
tually cleared I plugged my
iPhone into a small wooden
speaker and a mix of music nicely
accompanied Wills snores, fill-
ing the night with sweet serenity.
Atticus and I sat, we listened, we
watched and slowly bashful stars
came out and said Hello. So
did an owl that swooped just
overhead and landed on the small
tree closer to the house. Hoot.
Hoot. Atticus and he watched
each other. Then my friend
turned to me and looked down at
safe and snug sleeping Will. He
sat up, put his front paws on the
arm of the chair, and he gazed
deep into my eyes.
Okay, just a minute. Here, hop
down, please I told Atti, as I
transferred Will to the other chair.
I swaddled him in his blanket, he
dropped his head back into his
dreams, and I picked Atti up and
he sat on my lap.
He sat upright for a bit, then
craned his head back and we both
looked up at the heavenly firma-
ment. Soon his head dropped
down next to mine and he tucked
it under my chin. He wasnt tired;
he just wanted to be close.
Songs came and went, stars glis-
tened, the owl hooted, Will
snored, and Atticus and I sat like
he did the first day I picked him
up at the airport a five pound
puppy, frightened but safe, his
head tucked under my chin.
I dont know why, but I started to
cry. They werent sad tears for
they carried memories, joy, love,
and a life built together. The tears
left and night and the stars wore
on and we were content to be
together. Always together.
I know this is how it will be when
Will leaves, just as it was when
we said goodbye to Newburyport.
It will be Tom and Atticus,
Atticus and Tom. Two lives, one
soul.
I said prayers; some aloud, some
silent, but the greatest prayer of
all was felt as his heart beat close
to mine. So many mountains. So
many years. So much life. We
own the greatest gift a life
shared completely. From the very
beginning we belonged to each
other, surrendered so that two
became one, and our destinies
were at once intertwined.
Thank you, I said and kissed
him on his head. I carried him
inside with his sore foot and went
back for Will.
That night with Will happily
tucked in his bed right next to
ours as close as he can get to me
on the floor, Atticus did the same
thing on the bed. He pushed his
back against my chest, his head
under my chin for the second time
that night, and I draped my arm
over him and he pushed in even
tighter. Seven hours later we all
woke up just as wed fallen
asleep.
When Atticus has something to
say he does it with his eyes. That
morning when I got up he
watched me closely. Not sad nor
worried nor complaining about
his paw. He simply watched and
I knew he had something to say. I
sat down next to him and ruffled
his ears. What? What have you
got to say?
There were no words, of course,
but we looked at each other as we
did the night before, as weve
done thousands of times in a
decade and a year. Our own
unspoken language belongs sole-
ly to us. It is a dance between
friends, laced with understanding
and comfort and trust. I watched
him and I knew what he was say-
ing so I spoke the words out loud.
Somethings coming. A new
adventure?
There was a slight nod of
acknowledgment.
I can remember when those nods
first started. It was during that
first winter we tried to do the two
rounds of the four thousand foot-
ers that we began to talk in this
way. Through eighty-one moun-
tains and hundreds of miles and
being alone in the cold and the
morning and night with every-
thing else a world away, the clos-
est love developed, a wordless
intimacy spoken between species.
I told my friends hed developed
a habit, picked up from me, I sup-
pose. Alone on a day when hik-
ing fifteen or twenty or twenty-
five miles in ten degrees across
snowy mountains I had no need
for words. Our eyes did the talk-
ing for us. On occasion, when it
was time to leave a summit Id
look at him and toss my head as
you would to a friend across a
crowded party, telling him its
time to leave.
Toward the end of that mysterious
marathon of a winter I was not the
only one doing it. When we
returned to the old life we knew
in Newburyport he did it all the
more often. Perhaps he was
telling me it was time to go back
home to where we belonged in
the mountains.
My friends thought I was crazy
dog crazy until one, Paul
Abruzzi, saw him do it in
Jabberwocky Bookshop.
What was that? Paul asked.
Hed known Atticus for years and
had grown used to his manner-
isms but this was nothing he'd
seen before.
What? I said.
It looks like he was telling you
lets go.
He was.
Once this winter when MRW was
with us, I said to him, Okay, go
ahead, get a drink if you want.
He looked at us as if to excuse
himself, because we were all sit-
ting together, and he hopped
lightly down, drank, and came
back up and squeezed in between
us.
How did you know he was
thirsty? she asked.
He told me.
Such is the enchantment between
the closest of friends. Two lives,
one soul.
So when I tell you somethings
coming I know what Im talking
about because Atticus knows. (If
youve read our book you may
remember he did it right after we
came off of Mount Washington
and were on our way to Mount
Monroe during that winter of
eighty-one peaks and again sit-
ting on the rocks on Plum Island
the first day of spring just before
he went blind and he faced the
cancer scare with his hyperthy-
roidism.)
This morning Attis limp was
worse. His paw more painful to
the touch. By ten it was bleeding
and swollen. I brought him to
Northcountry Animal Hospital.
X-rays were taken, blood was
drawn, more x-rays were taken.
When Jennifer and Joy had him in
the x-ray room the second time I
stepped outside and went to my
car because I didnt want him to
see me crying. I dried my eyes,
called Ann Stampfer to hear a
friends voice, and hung up when
the tears overtook my words.
This Friday morning (July 12th)
Atticus and I will be back at the
hospital. The toe has gotten
worse. Much worse. The bone is
dissolving.
Rachael Kleidon will amputate
his toe and send the flesh, bone,
and tumorous mass off to get
biopsied. Were very concerned
and the fear is bone cancer. If
thats what it is the best case sce-
nario is six to twelve months. If
not, we hope to be back on the
trail in three weeks with one less
toe. Until then my friends and I
will pray, well hold our breath,
and Atticus and I will hold each
other. Just as weve always done.
Just as we always will.
Of course there were many tears
earlier today a flood of them.
Now, however, were gearing up
and going to war. Weve been
here before. Were jumping into
the fire together . . . as always.
Two lives, one soul. Always.

Dear Constituents,
Last year the Supreme Court
ruled that the federal Affordable
Care Act (ACA) could not man-
date that states expand their
Medicaid programs. Should
New Hampshire expand its
Medicaid program? The
answer to this question will be a
major policy decision for law-
makers.
To answer this question, law-
makers created the Medicaid
Expansion Study Commission
which will spend the next 3
months studying this issue. It
is instructive to note that in at
least three situations where
Medicaid was expanded in New
Hampshire in the past (1989,
1992, and 1994) in each case,
there was a five-month delibera-
tive process (SB195, SB319,
SB774 respectively). This
Commission will begin meeting
in early July and make a report
of findings and recommenda-
tions for proposed legislation on
or before October 15, 2013.
So what is Medicaid and how
does it work? Medicaid (Title
XIX of the Social Security Act)
is a state and federal entitlement
program that pays for medical
assistance for certain individu-
als and families with low
incomes. This program became
law in 1965 as a cooperative
venture jointly funded by federal
and state governments to assist
states in providing medical
assistance to eligible needy per-
sons. Medicaid is the largest
source of funding for medical
and health-related services for
America's poorest people.
Medicaid is very comprehensive
with little to no cost to the bene-
ficiary for services. Coverage is
similar to private insurance
with much less exposure to the
beneficiary. There are a num-
ber of providers who do not
accept Medicaid so choices are
more limited. According to
staff at the NH Department of
Health & Human Services
(NHDHHS), a completed
Medicaid application takes 30
days to be processed and indi-
viduals receive an ID card with-
in 7-10 business days. The ID
card can be used like an insur-
ance card with very few limita-
tions. There are no limits on
primary care, hospitals, or the
number of emergency room vis-
its. Coverage is effective imme-
diately and allows for a 90-day
retroactive period where
claimants can submit bills to be
paid.
In New Hampshire, Medicaid is
the states largest and most
expensive program, costing $1.4
billion a year and accounting
for 27 percent of general fund
spending. (According to the lat-
est annual report [2008] listed
on the NHDHHS website, more
than 147,000 citizens received
Medicaid.) It is estimated that
approximately 58,000 addition-
al New Hampshire citizens will
benefit if we accept the $2.5 bil-
lion in federal funds to expand
Medicaid.
The bipartisan commission pro-
posed by the Senate Finance
Committee and signed into law
by Governor Hassanwill have
the time and resources neces-
sary to study what expansion
will mean for the state. Some
issues to consider:
Over the next seven years,
expanded Medicaid could have
a net cost to NH taxpayers of up
to $200 million. (Once the fed-
eral match drops to 90 percent
after three years, state costs will
be upwards of $50 million annu-
ally.) How will taxpayers fund
this $50 million expenditure?
Using the federal funding esti-
mates put forward by expansion
proponents, it appears that fed-
eral and state government will
be spending nearly $15,000 per
new enrollee under expansion.
At this cost, new enrollees
would be on health insurance
plans classified as Cadillac
by the ACA--plans that are now
subject to increased taxes. Will
the new enrollees be able to pay
the increased taxes or will
someone else be responsible?
Given the states already low
Medicaid reimbursement rates,
some providers have stopped
accepting new Medicaid
patients. Providers have been
unable to guarantee they would
have the ability to take on the
thousands of new patients
expected to seek care under the
expanded program. Will there
be enough providers to offer
health care services with this
new population?
According to the New
Hampshire Center for Public
Policy Studies, with the increase
of Medicaid coverage up to
138% of poverty*, 34,000 peo-
ple with existing private insur-
ance will now become eligible
for Medicaid. Will they drop
their private insurance to go
onto Medicaid?
A recent paper by the New
Hampshire Center for Public
Policy Studies proposes several
expansion models to cover vari-
ous segments of New
Hampshires uninsured popula-
tion each of which would have
different costs and implications.
To date, none of these additional
options have been explored;
despite the study showing that
the one-size-fits-all proposal
offered by the Governor is not
the most cost effective for the
state. Shouldnt these options
be reviewed?
On issues of both cost and effec-
tiveness, it is not clear that the
one-size-fits-all Medicaid
Expansion is the right path for
New Hampshire taxpayers,
patients or providers. It would
seem only prudent that this
Commission hear from the
experts, study this issue careful-
ly, learn about the pros and cons
of this entitlement, and assure
that we have a plan that will be
successful for our state.
As always, I want to hear from
you. If you have a concern
you'd like to share, an event
you'd like me to attend, or a
problem you think I might be

I want to thank and congratulate our North Country legislators --
Representatives Linda Massimilla, Ralph Doolan, Rebecca
Brown, Sue Ford, Linda Lauer, Brad Bailey, Edmond Gionet and
Marcia Hammon -- for working in a bipartisan, moderate fash-
ion during the recent legislative session. We should be very proud
of our accomplishments -- a nearly unanimously approved budget
that takes care of the important needs of the North Country; a
major $13.5 million investment in career and technical education
system; new laws that improve our emerging off-highway recre-
ational vehicle (OHRV); saving the region's largest social service
agency and efforts to stabilize rural hospitals and expand access
to medical care.
I'm personally grateful to them for their friendship and guidance
as I completed my first session in the State Senate. I'm honored to
call each of them a colleague and be able to rely on their support
to best serve the North Country.

Id like to introduce myself as
the Program Manager for Tri-
County CAPs Woodsville
Outreach Office. For those not
familiar, CAP is a non-profit
social service agency providing
assistance to low-income, elder-
ly & disabled individuals. The
Woodsville office specifically
covers the towns of Bath,
Benton, Ellsworth, Haverhill (&
precincts), Landaff, Lisbon,
Piermont, Warren, Monroe,
Wentworth & Woodstock. We
offer services such as a food
pantry, Fuel Assistance, Electric
Discount Program, Security
Deposit Loans, Salvation Army
assistance vouchers, homeless
prevention referrals & emer-
gency assistance advocacy. We
also provide other types of
assistance when funding is
available.
What has made a great impres-
sion on me during the 4 months
since Ive been working in this
area is the generosity of the
businesses, organizations &
everyday people who pitch in to
make things a little better for
those less fortunate. Id like to
acknowledge Foggs ACE
Hardware & Lowes for donat-
ing paint & supplies toward
sprucing up the office & pantry.
Shaws Supermarket provides us
with meats, breads, etc. through
the Fresh Rescue Program.
Lynette & her crew at Wal Mart
keep our shelves stocked with
generous weekly donations.
Many area churches & count-
less individuals & families often
drop off their collections & sur-
plus goods. Cottage Hospital,
Mt. Hope Grange, Harmans
Cheese, The Minot Farm,
Rachels Eggs, Woodsville
HS Jag Program, Horse
Meadow Senior Center all con-
tribute in very special ways
whether it be in donated items,
services rendered or monetary
donations. We are fortunate to
have dedicated volunteers who
provide their vehicles, time &
energy when called upon for
help with deliveries. It truly is a
selfless & generous effort in
many ways. I apologize if Ive
unintentionally overlooked any-
one. Please accept my Thanks &
be assured that your contribu-
tion is greatly appreciated.
Also, thanks to an ambitious
young woman working toward a
college degree in human servic-
es, we have the seeds planted
for what will hopefully be an
abundant crop of fresh vegeta-
bles for clients from our on-site
garden. Were looking for vol-
unteers who can spare a bit of
time to help us nurse this project
along. Please contact the CAP
office if you can help.
Ill be providing information &
contacting folks regarding the
Fuel Assistance Program as
soon as that information
becomes available from the
State.
The CAP office is located at 6
Church Street in Woodsville &
is open Monday through Friday
from 8am to 4pm.
The food pantry is open Monday
through Friday from 10am to
2pm. I can be reached by phone
at 747-3013.
Ill leave you with the thought
that We cant help everyone
but everyone can help some-
one(Ronald Reagan).
Thanks again!

We live in an area where we
really have some unique and
fantastic events that go on
throughout the year. Some
times, every year!
The North Country is unique in
so many aspects.
We have people who care, we
have people who work hard and
to be honest, we do many things
that, well, other parts of the
state and country just wouldnt
do.
One of our unique events are
our Old Home Days. Several
towns still have them, but the
north country has its share and
we are proud of our towns and
our heritage.
Although Iwill speak about
Warrens Old Home Days,
because this is our home town,
this goes for all the others also.
There are certain things we take
for granted. Our mail being
delivered, the grass growing,
tax bills, etc. But there are so
many times that we take people
for granted also.
In Warren, each year, our three
day event of Old Home Days
goes off without a hitch, or at
least, that the public sees!
Like many surrounding towns,
we have our very popular fire-
works show, we have vendors
who come each year to sell their
wares on the common, we have
the local bands, many of which
are from town or the local vicin-
ity, we have our chicken supper
put on by the volunteer fire
dept., we have our wonderful
parade we have so many people,
doing so many things, wrapped
up in to a three day event.
This year, even more special, as
we are celebrating our 250th
Anniversary also.
Yet, most times it is the people
behind the scenes who make this
all possible and make this all
come together.
Iknow there are many who do
their part and Id never be able
to mention them all, but Iwould
like to however mention both
Marie Spencer and Marlene
Wright. These gals have always
put their heart and soul in to
this event each season.
From A to Z, they do it all! Like
Isaid, I do know there are many
who help and volunteer their
time, but these two have always
gone above and beyond their
call of duty to make sure all
goes well and that everyone is
happy. If thats even possible!
They say they are going to retire
from it all after this one! I am in
high hopes they will not, but I
can also understand if they do.
Its a lot of hard work and many
hours.
So to all those people like Marie
and Marlene, who year after
year have put on one of the best
events in the north country, Isay
thank you...
Thank you for your time, your
patience, your perseverance
and your commitment to make
the Warren Old Home Days one
of the best events this side of the
Mississipi.
Thank you for your many years
of hard work and dedication.
Dont think it goes un-noticed.
People come from all over the
country to take part in one of the
best Old Home Days ever, right
here in Warren, NH... and you
make it happen!
Thank you!.
Nobody asked,
Just my opinion!

I am writing in regards to
Warrens "bear" problem.
I have noticed how some of the
dumpsters around town lack
basic self securing slide locks
strong enough to prevent bears
from opening them.
When a business or residence
has to pile cinder blocks on top
of a dumpster to keep the bears
out, it's time for a newer updat-
ed bear proof one similar to the
ones used at campgrounds in
the National Forest. Plastic flip
top dumpsters are no match for
hungry bears especially when a
dumpster is overflowing. It is
not practical to leave the doors
of a barn or shed open when a
potential food source for a bear
is located inside. To do so, is to
create an unsafe situation for
humans and animals.
Many people opt for the "conve-
nience" of a dumpster or fail to
properly store and dispose of
their trash. This is like putting a
piece of cheese out for a mouse
only without the trap. Rather
than having bears localized at
the dump, should they find a
place where trash is not
secured, they are now scouting
around town and seem to know
the local hot spots.
Every dumpster, bird feeder,
trash bin, vehicle, tent, poorly
constructed animal pen is a
bear magnet. This is the area we
live in. It's full of wildlife and
wonder. Don't ruin it with bad
trash habits and wishful think-
ing that your bird feeder is
exempt. Unfortunately "a fed
bear is a dead bear" and we
have only ourselves to blame.

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, 2 Chronicles 7:14, if
My people who are called by My name will
humble themselves, and pray and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and will forgive their
sin and heal their land. Just seems so appropri-
ate for this time right now. Take each line and
read them, apply them to yourselves and then
to the bigger picture. He is very precise. He
leaves no areas of question. He wants to heal
our land. We want to heal our land.Our land
needs to be healed. He gives us the answer. I
ask you to reflect on this scipture. Pray about
it. Ask the Lord how it applies specifically to
you. God has a plan for all of us. Jeremiah
29:11. God love you all. HAPPY INDE-
PENDENCE DAY TO AMERICA! BLESS
GOD, AND HE WILL BLESS US!

Dear EarthTalk: Is there a link
between the recent spread of
mosquito-borne diseases around
the world and environmental
pollution?
-- Meg Ross, Lantana, FL
If by pollution you mean green-
house gas emissions, then defi-
nitely yes. According to Maria
Diuk-Wasser at the Yale School
of Public Health, the onset of
human-induced global warming
is likely to increase the infection
rates of mosquito-borne dis-
eases like malaria, dengue fever
and West Nile virus by creating
more mosquito-friendly habi-
tats.
The direct effects of tempera-
ture increase are an increase in
immature mosquito develop-
ment, virus development and
mosquito biting rates, which
increase contact rates (biting)
with humans, she reports.
To wit, the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) reported a record num-
ber of West Nile virus infections
in the continental U.S. in 2012
with some 5,674 documented
cases including 286 deaths. The
virus uses insects as hosts where
they reproduce and then are
transmitted to humans via mos-
quito bites; it can also be trans-
mitted via blood transfusions,
organ transplants and breast
feeding.
While its still far less common,
U.S. cases of mosquito-borne
dengue feveralso known as
breakbone fever for the feel-
ing it gives its victimsrose by
70 percent in 2012 as compared
with 2011. The CDC reports
357 cases of dengue fever in the
continental U.S. in 2012, up
from 251 in 2011. The majority,
104, was in Florida, but New
York had 64 and California 35.
Most of the infections were
imported on people travelling to
the U.S.Puerto Rico played
host to 4,450 dengue fever cases
in 2012, up from only 1,507 in
2011. But some of the cases in
Florida likely came from mos-
quito bites there. The virus
behind dengue fever thrives in
tropical and sub-tropical envi-
ronments. The increased warm-
ing predicted for the southern
U.S. along with increased flood-
ing means dengue fever will no
doubt be spreading north on the
backs of mosquitoes into U.S.
states that never thought they
would have to deal with such
exotic outbreaks.
West Nile and dengue fever
arent the only mosquito-borne
diseases on U.S. public health
officials radar. Chikungunya,
which hitches a ride on the ever
expanding Asian tiger mosquito
and can cause high fever,
fatigue, headache, nausea, mus-
cle and joint pain, and a nasty
rash in humans, comes from
tropical Africa and Asia. But
cases have started appearing in
Western Europe in recent years
and are expected to make it to
the U.S. East Coast at anytime.
Likewise, Rift Valley fever,
which brings with it fever, mus-
cle pain, dizziness, vision loss
and even encephalitis, was lim-
ited to Kenya only a decade ago
but today has spread across the
entire African continent and is
expected to make an appearance
in Europe and the U.S. soon.
While researchers are hard at
work to find vaccines against
these diseases, concerned
Americans can take some basic
precautions to minimize their
chances of getting mosquito
bites. Keep screens on all the
windows and doors in the house
that can open. Outside, wear
long pants and long sleeved
shirts when possible and cover
up with an insect repellentthe
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) says only those
formulations containing the
chemical DEET have been
proven effective but there are
plenty of all natural alternatives
out there. In the meantime, our
best defense against these dis-
eases may be keeping our car-
bon footprints down, as the less
global warming we cause, the
less well have to deal with an
onslaught of tropical mosquito-
borne diseases.

NEEDTOGETHITCHED?
We Sell & Install Trailer Hitches!
Reese and Draw-Tite
by Melissa McDonnell
On Sunday, June 30th, I was
planning for my upcoming
wedding when I got the call,
learning that 19 wildland
firefighters from the
Granite Mountain hotshot
crew were killed on a fire
in Yarnell, Arizona.
Although I knew that my
fianc, a firefighter
based in Hungry Horse
Montana during the sum-
mer fire season, was on
assignment in Colorado, I
couldnt stop thinking
about how easily he could
have been on that fire,
instead.
There are just over 100 Hotshot crews in
the United States, each a 20-person crew that is highly qualified
and acts as the frontline defense in a wildfire. Losing 19 members
of the Granite Mountain hotshots eliminated nearly 1% of this
nations Hotshot firefighting force in one single incident; the
largest single incident wildfire tragedy in more than eighty years.
Despite being based in one location, hotshots travel all over the
country, going to the most dangerous location where they are most
needed. Geography plays some part in assignments, but so does
luck. It is not a stretch of the imagination to consider that a differ-
ent crew could have been on the Yarnell Hill fire that day, and that
I would be getting a call of a different nature. Suddenly, my prior-
ities shifted away from wedding planning, and my focus was on
the 19 families left behind.
The Granite Mountain hotshots,
all 20 of them, were good men.
They were beloved sons, neigh-
bors, friends, and heroes. Many
also had the honor of being
fathers, husbands, and
boyfriends. They loved fighting
fires, and loved helping others.
They loved hiking into a fire as
everyone else was fleeing away
from it, carrying a 45 pound
pack and a specialized Pulaski
tool over their shoulders. They
loved to work through the night,
cut down burning trees, go for a
week or two without a decent
shower, and eat pre-packaged
meals while still on the fire line.
They loved to trade jokes, and
debate the merits of various
types of foliage as toilet paper.
They loved each other, and they
loved their families.
Because I love one of these hot-
shot firefighters, I am putting
my wedding planning on hold.
For the next few weeks, I am
devoting my thoughts, prayers,
and energy Westward, to
Prescott Arizona and the 19
families left behind. While
wildfires are not a part of our
lives here in the Upper Valley,
we, too, have heroes. We under-
stand what it means to sacrifice,
and to takes risks for the com-
munity.
I am asking all of us to come
together to celebrate the lives
and the ultimate sacrifice made
by the Granite Mountain hot-
shots, men who are just like our
own fathers, husbands, sons and
brothers.
On July 24, local firefighters
and community members will
gather at the Colatina Exit
restaurant on Main Street in
Bradford, Vermont, to show
support for the fallen. From
11:00 am to 9 pm, 25% of
restaurant earnings will be
donated directly to the Wildland
Firefighting Foundation, a non-
profit organization that provides
financial, emotional, and legal
support to the families of
injured or fallen wilderness fire-
fighters. During the fundraising
event, firefighters will be wait-
ing tables and greeting guests,
and 100% of gratuities earned
will go to the families, as well. I
hope you can join me.
Melissa McDonnell lives in
Pike, New Hampshire with her
fianc Aaron Strobel, when he is
not travelling the country fight-
ing wildfires.

fundraising event, please con-
tact her at:

On July 19th Old Church
Theater brings the classic and
beloved story of Heidi to its
Bradford stage. Specially writ-
ten for Old Church Theater by
Charles Fray, this version has all
the favorite characters and fea-
tures of the original 1888 novel
by Johanna Spyri, and is suit-
able for the whole family.
Directed by Gloria Heidenreich,
the cast of 19 includes children,
youth and adults. Appearing on
stage are Isabella Yelle, Rhonda
Archibald, Meghan Bullard,
Parker Logan, Charles Fray,
Caroline Swaney, Jeff Fullerton,
Rachel Archibald, Holly Buker,
Nick Buonanduci, Ron Garvin,
Melissa Mann, Kelly Gaudet,
Todd Robie, Evelyn Fleming,
Hazel Fleming, Sara Archibald,
Dayton Wagner, and Kennedy
Wagner.
Set in the Swiss alps, as the play
opens Heidi is dropped off at
her gruff grandfather's secluded
mountain hut by her aunt, who
doesn't seem to care about the
child. But Heidi's charm soon
melts her grandfather's heart
and as he begins to know joy
again, she is abruptly taken
away again by her aunt to be a
companion to a wheelchair-
bound rich girl, Clara, in
Frankfurt. Homesick, alone, and
becoming very ill, she finally
returns and recovers in her
beloved Alps with her new
friend Clara, and everyone,
even Grandfather, finds new joy
and purpose in life because of
Heidi.
Heidi will be presented
Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm
and Sunday at 4pm. The theater
is located at 137 North Main St,
Bradford, VT. Reservations
may be made by calling 802-
222-3322 or emailing reserva-
tions@oldchurchtheater.org.
Admission is $10 for adults and
$5.00 for students.
Performance photos will be
available on www.old-
churchtheater.org .
Old Church Theater is a non-
profit group in its 28th year,
producing 5 plays from May to
September. Most recently
staged was Lets Murder
Marsha!; after Heidi in mid-
August will be Mr. Roberts,
made famous by the film featur-
ing Henry Fonda.
Baker River Arts and
Music Festival 2013
July 19-21
Yes folks it is festival season
again and many of you music
lovers have probably attended a
festival or two already. So here
is another one that is sure to
please all ages of music and arts
lovers BRAMF will com-
mence on July 19th at the his-
toric Quincy House property in
Rumney NH. This beautiful
property that has been made
available for the second year in
a row by the artist Mindy
Beach, is the perfect setting for
this unique and friendly event.
Showcasing the amazing musi-
cal talent we have in this region,
this years line up up music spot-
lights some of the best. Two of
my all time favorite bands will
be headlining the show, The
Crunchy Western Boys and
Brasbe. Although completely
different in sound both CWB
and Brasbe seem to attract the
same fans. Both are building a
large following all through out
New England and were featured
at the recent Granite State
Music Festival last month in
Concord NH. To be able to
experience these acts lounging
on a lawn on a back road in
Rumney is an opportunity you
do not want to miss. Other acts
slated to play are the Whiskey
Geese( one of my new
favorites!) The George Brown
Band Shalanski Matt
Poirier NC Blues Company
and Chris Peters. There will
also be an open mic on Sunday.
But the music is only part of the
celebration. Other attractions at
BRAMF will be Homemade
BBQ from MacDaddy's,
Handmade Pizza, Ice cream,
Massage and reflexology,
Nature walks around the bog,
face painting, kiddie corner, fun
photo ops, jewelery, homemade
preserves, costume painting,
marquetry and handmade
bags.
Coinciding with this event will
be the The Baker River
Appreciation Day clean up.
Sat JULY 20th starting at 9am.
Folks will float/paddle the
Baker River cleaning up trash.
The even ends at the Baker
River Camp Ground, directly
across the street from
BRAMF. Folks who partici-
pate in the Appreciate Day
event will receive a discount at
BRAMF.
BRAMF was the culmination
of a conversation between
three friends Corey Grogan,
Isaac DeWever, and Chris
Candito worked together to
bring something special to our
community. As artists and musi-
cians we wanted to create an
event that celebrates everything
the beautiful Baker River Valley
has to offer. As both an
attendee and a performer last
year I can personally vouch for
the atmosphere and the talent of
both the musicians and artists.
We are looking to gain
momentum with each year and
we hope to see friends, families,
and new comers coming togeth-
er for wonderful food, art, and
music.
Tickets $10 or $20 for a Three
day weekend pass
Kids are free

Summer is here and many of
you will be traveling on vaca-
tion. You may be taking your
laptop computers or using tech-
nology to get where you are
going such as a GPS Navigation
device, here are some tips
before you fly or drive to your
destination.
Avoid using a computer bag,
thieve watch for people who
travel with a computer bag, if
you bring your laptop, put it in a
back pack or luggage that way it
is not obvious that you are car-
rying a laptop with you.
Keep your laptop in site, when
going thru security do not let
your computer leave your site,
approximately 1500 laptops a
day get stolen at airport security
check points.
Do not keep passwords with the
laptop. Most laptops have the
option in the computer BIOS to
enable boot password, with that
option enabled you must enter a
password before your computer
will boot into the operating sys-
tem. Many of us forget pass-
words and write them down or
keep them with the computer.
Keep passwords separate from
the computer, put them on a
piece of paper in your wallet or
purse, or maybe in your cell
phone, which you also need to
keep tight grips on, password
protect your cell phone and GPS
also. Anything you can do to
deter the thief. Should your
computer, cell phone or GPS get
stolen and it is password pro-
tected, notify the manufacture
that they were stolen. The only
way a password can be removed
is if the thief sends the device to
the manufacture to have the
password removed, the manu-
facture will look at the serial
number if you reported it as
stolen they will notify the police
and it will be returned to you.
Encrypt your data on your lap-
top. Use a free program such as
Truecrypt at www.truecrypt.org,
it will secure your information
and only allow you access to it.
Buy a laptop security device, if
you need to leave your laptop in
a room or at your desk, use a
laptop security cable to securely
attach it to a heavy chair, table,
or desk. The cable makes it
more difficult for someone to
take your laptop. There are also
programs that will report the
location of a stolen laptop. They
work when the laptop connects
to the Internet, and can report
the laptop's exact physical loca-
tion. One such tracing program
is Computer Trace Lojack. This
program will trace your com-
puters location without the thief
knowing there is a program
working in the background.
Many new laptops have that
option for a monthly fee you can
enable it in the computers
BIOS.
When using your laptop use a
screen guard, this keeps prying
eyes from seeing information on
your computer screen, especial-
ly if you are at an airport depar-
ture gate people may be looking
over your shoulder without your
knowledge.
If your laptop is stolen change
your email password, notify
your internet provider and
change your internet password
if you use high speed such as
Charter and you have an e-mail
account call them to change
your e-mail account password.
If it is a company laptop and
customer data is on the laptop
notify your company IT repre-
sentative so they can take appro-
priate actions. Report the theft
to local police as soon as possi-
ble.
I hope these tips are helpful, I
wish everyone a safe summer
and again any questions please
e-mail me at
paigecs@gmail.com or visit my
website at www.paigecomput-
erservice.com or call (603)747-
2201, I will be starting Basic
Computer Class on June 21st if
you are interested please call so
I can put you on the class roster
I will also tell you the details on
the class, so until next time take
care and Happy Computing!

Cooked Food: Our
Ancestors Legacy of
Transformation
Michael Pollan obviously had
fun writing his latest book,
Cooked: A Natural History of
Transformation. Pollan takes us
through his hilarious travels to
discover the essence of how the
use of fire, water, air and the
earth rendered humans a domi-
nant species. Hes concerned
about our growing distance
from direct, physical engage-
ment in transforming raw stuff
into cooked food and the nour-
ishment such food provides as
opposed to opening a package
that has been processed else-
where.
Discovery of fire and an inad-
vertently cooked carcass drew
early humans in with its pleas-
ant aroma and eventual pre-
ferred taste and started this
whole business of cooked food.
Most animals and birds spend
their entire day chewing in order
to survive. But, cooked food is
more tender and easily digested,
so it cuts down chewing time
and frees humans to dream up
other things to do with their
time. Squirrels have to bury
their nuts and wait to season
them and make them digestible.
Bunches of tree seedlings we
find in the spring attest to a for-
gotten stash. Fermentation is
practiced by many species,
including food that sits in the
craw of birds, readying it for
digestion.
Pollan goes to North Carolina to
learn the fine art of pig roasting
by apprenticing himself to the
experts. Whether you ever
decide to roast a pig yourself,
youll learn a lot about the value
of different wood, and the trans-
formative power of carefully
controlled fire in the smoke of
ritual sacrifice that shadow us,
however faintly, whenever we
cook a piece of meat over a
fire.
Next, he hired a gourmet cook
to teach him how to make pot
dishes as he walks us through
the water element via French,
Italian, Spanish, Indian, Greek
and more variations, adding
vegetables, seaweeds, mush-
rooms, spices, and sauces.
Guaranteed, youll want to try
some new variations yourself.
He did the same with bread
making (air element), appren-
ticed himself to fine bakers and
takes us through the art of mak-
ing starter, a sponge, and all the
shenanigans in between. When
we bake with whole grains, we
reduce the risk of chronic dis-
eases, weigh less, and live
longer than those who dont.
Finally, Pollan takes us through
the earth element, the microbes
that render food more
digestible, and release valuable
nutrients, vitamins, minerals.
He has a whole saga for making
sauerkraut and other fermented
foods, including beer.
As we move into summer, we
have the opportunity to cele-
brate with outdoor picnics,
favorite dishes, and ritual gath-
erings, mindful of how we
honor and use the elements of
fire, water, air and earth in the
foods we prepare to share with
others. Farmers Markets and
roadside produce stands provide
us with new and familiar choic-
es to continue our exciting, and
often hilarious, human evolu-
tion. Heres to celebrating our
evolving art!

Because Winters
Never Far Away
The thermometer peaked at 98
degrees that afternoon, but Ryan
and I spent the morning thinking
of winter. Over the course of a
few hours, we transformed a
pile of birch and maple into a
stack of wood for the colder
months. Sweat was pouring off
both of us: Ryan had the partic-
ularly hot job of splitting, while
I stacked.
We do use wood to cook meals
in our Sweetheart cookstove
during the summer, but our
wood needs are minimal com-
pared to the late fall, winter, and
early spring. Once the colder
weather arrives, we switch out
the cookstove for our Reliant
woodstove, which is much bet-
ter suited to the dual demands of
heating and cooking. In this
manner, we go through a few
cords of wood each year.
The total quantity is hard to
measure, as the sourcing of
wood is ongoing work. Felling,
bucking, splitting, and stacking
are tasks we engage in through-
out the year as need requires and
time allows. The seasons fade
from one to the other, but the
constant demand for wood cre-
ates a persistent motivation to
engage in woods work. We
must be thinking ahead, always
planning, anticipating, and
preparing for the seasons to
come. At the moment, for
example, we have cherry logs
seasoning by the upper field and
in the forest hedge below it, but
splitting and stacking may not
happen for another few weeks,
or few months. With our base
needs met, additional work is
completed as our schedules (and
other projects) permit.
Nevertheless, while we may put
off those cherry lengths for the
short-term, they are in our mind
and cannot be forgotten for
long. Future comfort lies within
those logs.
The remains of last winters
woodpile (some cherry and
maple, plus a few remnants of
beech, poplar, and ash) had been
somewhat rag-tag in appear-
ance: lopsided on one end, bare-
ly protected from the elements
by a tarp that was more torn
than whole. It looked a bit like
skid row. Now, though, we
have a robust wood pile stacked
along the woodline. After the
sweltering work of a morning,
the view from the cabins east-
ern window suggests prepared-
ness as well as aesthetics. The
oldest wood is off to the right,
the just split birch and maple
comprising the majority of the
new stack. To the left we have
rows of limb wood, good for
cooking. If you look closely,
you might notice that the bark
side of each piece is uniformly
stacked facing up (mostly).
In the ongoing debate between
bark-side-up and bark-side-
down, Ryan is firmly in the for-
mer camp. I, having previously
used a willy-nilly approach, am
more than willing to follow his
practice on the matter. Having
the bark up will help shed any
water that makes it past our
metal roofing and tarp storage
system.
Were someone to walk into the
scene, one might note that there
is surely something quintessen-
tial about it: man and woman,
side-by-side, mostly silent,
working in a steady rhythm with
diligence, focus, ease (and
maybe even pleasure) to answer
the needs of the coming season.
As the people in the scene, we
can say that it is certainly satis-
fying. It is mentally comforting
to know that our wood is present
and ready for use into the next
year. It is invigorating and ful-
filling to complete such work
together. And on this particular
day, with both the humidity and
the temperature pushing
towards 100, the dominant sen-
timent is appreciation for the
river that runs along the proper-
ty. With wood securely under
cover, splitting debris piled to
use as mulch, and tools away,
we eagerly head to the swim-
ming hole. For the time being,
it is still summer.

WEEK OF JULY 22, 2013
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Your zeal for challenges usually
works well for you. But this
week it's best to avoid jumping
into new situations without
more information. Vital news
emerges by the weekend.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Once again, the Bovine's
patience pays off as that pesky
problem works itself out with-
out taking too much of your
valuable time. A new task opens
interesting possibilities.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Those suggestions you want to
share need to be set aside for a
while so you can focus on the
job at hand. There'll be time
later to put your ideas into a
workable format.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Be sure about your sources
before you use the information
in any decision you reach about
your new project. Some of the
data might be out of date or mis-
interpreted.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A
sudden challenge might rattle
you at first. But pump up that
strong Lion's heart with a full
measure of courage, and face it
with the continuing support of
family and friends.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) Watch your
expenses this week so you can
have a financial cushion to fall
back on should things tighten up
later this month. Money matters
ease by the 31st.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Uncertainty over
workplace policy creates anxi-
ety and confusion among your
colleagues. Don't be surprised if
you're asked, once again, to help
work things out.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) The workweek
keeps you busy tying up loose
ends and checking data that
needs to be verified. The week-
end offers a chance to relax and
restore your spent energies.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) This is not the
best time to go to extremes to
prove a point. Better to set a
sensible goal now and move for-
ward. There'll be time later to
take the bolder course.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) A step-by-step
progression is the better way to
move ahead. Taking shortcuts
could be risky at this time.
Important news arrives on the
31st.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Avoid getting
drawn into workplace disputes
that should be handled by those
directly involved. Instead,
spend your energy developing
those new ideas.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) You still need to be prudent
about money matters. But things
start to ease by the end of the
week. A weekend encounter
with an old friend brings wel-
come news.
BORN THIS WEEK: You han-
dle challenging situations with
boldness when necessary and
caution when called for.

Q: I have a small collection of
vintage rolling pins. One of the
more unusual ones is made of
glass with a stopper on the end.
What was the reason for this
design? -- Phyllis, Stigler, Okla.
A: The glass rolling pins could
be filled with cold water, mak-
ing it easier to roll out pie
crusts. These are collectible and
often sell in the $25 to $35
range.
***
Q: I realize you don't do
appraisals, but can you recom-
mend someone who can so I can
find out the value of a 165-year-
old dinner plate that I have. It
belonged to the last king of
France and has been document-
ed by the Library of Congress. -
- Linda, Billings, Mont.
A: I suggest you contact two of
the better auction houses,
Sotheby's, 1334 York Ave., New
York, NY 10021; and Christie's,
20 Rockefeller Plaza, New
York, NY 10020. Each has
experts on staff who might be
able to help you.
***
Q: I have a land patent docu-
ment signed by President
Benjamin Harrison in 1892. I
would like to know its value. --
Rogene, Grand Junction, Colo.
A: One of the better autograph
dealers is Brian Kathenes, P.O.
Box 482, Hope, NJ 07844;
brian@nacvalue.com; and
www.nacvalue.com. Kathenes
is considered an autograph
expert and also is a certified
appraiser.
***
TIP: When contacting an
appraiser, it is always a good
idea to restrict your dealings
with that person to just an
appraisal. Never allow an
appraiser to determine the value
of an item and then offer to pur-
chase it for that amount. This is
considered unethical, especially
by members of the American
Society of Appraisers. If an
appraisal seems too low, don't
hesitate to contact a second
expert.

In 1977, Ken Olson, president,
chairman and founder of Digital
Equipment Company, made the
following regrettable statement:
"There is no reason anyone
would want a computer in their
home."
Gross fact of the day: Half of
the bacteria in the human mouth
haven't even been identified yet
by science.
The drug Ivermectin is a
broad-spectrum antiparasitic,
used mainly to treat infestations
of worms. The people who have
been helped by this medication
might be surprised to learn that
the drug was developed through
research spurred by a fungus
found growing on the golf shoe
of a botanist.
If you're a centenarian, you
might want to consider moving
to New Mexico. In that state,
there is a law declaring that
everyone 100 and older is tax-
exempt.
Unless you were around on
April 17, 1964, you may not be
aware of the hullabaloo caused
by the introduction of the
Mustang. In Seattle, a truck
driver was so distracted by a
display of new Mustangs that he
crashed his cement truck
through the window of the deal-
ership. In Chicago, so many
people were trying to crowd into
the cars in a showroom that the
dealer had to lock all the vehicle
doors. A dealer in New Jersey
had only one Mustang, so he
auctioned it off. The winner of
the auction insisted on sleeping
in his new car that night, just to
make sure nobody else got it
before his check cleared.
Arizonans take note: Hunting
camels is illegal in your state.
If you're like the hypothetical
average person, your mouth will
create 10,000 gallons of saliva
over the course of your lifetime.
