Brake For Moose It Could Save Your Life_________________
Rines urges drivers to slow down and stay alert -- and not just at
"moose crossing" signs!
To avoid a moose collision:
Drive no faster than 55 miles per hour -- especially at dusk and

dawn.
Use high beams when possible;
Be able to stop within the zone of your headlights;

Scan the sides of the roads as you drive.
For more information on avoiding moose collisions, visit

Wildlife officials from N.H. Fish and Game Department remind

motorists to take extra care while traveling Granite State roadways at this time of year, because moose are on the move looking
for mates. Kristine Rines, Fish and Games longtime Moose
Project Leader, says that drivers should be prepared to see and
react quickly to moose on or near the road. While moose vehicle
collisions happen at all times of the year, fall is a time of
increased activity and accidents. In 2014, over 130 moose were
killed by vehicles in New Hampshire.

Adventures in
Homesteading
Just Work
When Ryan and I consider our

root cellar project (which is
nearing completion! soon!),
there are three distinct phases
that we think of. First, the cinder block masonry. This was a
new skill to learn, and one that
demanded huge efforts to prepare for: carrying the cinder
blocks into the property, and
hauling bags of concrete and
mortar mix. These extra challenges made for some good stories, though, and once we got
the hang of slingin mud,
enjoyed the rhythm of erecting
walls.
Second is the carpentry

required to frame and cap the
cellar, construct the trap door,
and build the temporary roof to
allow for winter access (until a
more permanent shed is built
over the cellar). Though carry-
Beth
Weick
ing
dimensional
lumber
through the woods to our clearing is - compared to lugging
cinder blocks - a relatively
comfortable stroll, the work
itself requires a precision and
an exactitude that is difficult to
achieve with hand tools.
Cutting a board to a certain
length that, for example,
includes 7/16 is onerous to
perfectly achieve without favoring a minor tilt to the saw, or
one side of the cut line versus
the other...not to mention the
weariness that can creep in after
hours of cutting with one hand
while holding a given board
steady with the other. Quality
carpentry is greatly assisted by
meticulous tools and a suitable
workplace. Whether for our
lack of these prerequisites, or
simply a predisposition against
such fine detail, this work we
find more trying than any other
aspect of the cellar project.
The third aspect of our project

is equally demanding, and also
our favorite: shoveling to backfill the cellar. This required
multiple days of moving and
terracing rocks, and shoveling
til our backs needed a rest.
Changing the landscape, manually, one shovelful of dirt at a
time, with the sun wringing
sweat out of us and the heat
testing our endurance; it is both
daunting and elating to do what
is nowadays commonly relegated to a tractor or backhoe. This
is the work we relish, have confidence in, and find most satisfying. We may have learned the
basics of masonry, we may
understand the tenants of simple carpentry...but moving dirt
and rocks is something we
innately know. The smell of
dirt, the weight of its matter, the
abrasive roughness of granite
with veins of feldspar, mica
schist, or quartz, the simple
repetitiveness of hard, physical
labor.
On Sunday, September 20, the G. Hampton McGaw Chapter

of the National Honor Society of Woodsville High School built
and placed a bench in the Bedell Bridge State Park in
Haverhill, NH. The chapter at Woodsville High School maintains the park on a semi-regular basis and would like to thank
Mr. Scott Edwards, Woodsville High School Tech. Ed. teacher,
and Ms. Susan Brown for helping to make this project possiIts tiring, it can be uncomfort- ble. Samuel Pushee, Derek Maccini, and Samuel Fairfield put

Dear Friends, Philippians 1:9-10 says,

And this is my prayer: that your love
may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that you may be able
to discern what is best and may be pure and
blameless for the day of Christ... The Word of
God is TRUTH! We are to renew our minds
daily with the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:1617 tells us,All Scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness, that the man of God may be
complete, thoroughly equipped for every
good work. Read Gods Word! God Bless you
all.

Black Swallowtails Have
Many Disguises
It was the dotted, orangey-yellow and black stripes that stood

out, drawing my sons gaze to
the edge of the sandbox. A small
caterpillar clung to the
goutweed, munching away on
the green leaves. At first we
thought it was a monarch caterpillar, but the stripes werent
quite right. Out came the field
guide, where we discovered our
caterpillar to be a future black
swallowtail butterfly. After that
first discovery, we suddenly
noticed more caterpillars, both
in that patch of goutweed and on
the greens of the carrots in our
late-summer garden.

to the changing landscape, and
its caterpillars propensity for
munching on members of the

chrysalis to butterfly. During its
initial two instars or skin shedding phases the caterpillar is
spikey and dark brown except
for a white saddle that makes the
little creeper look like a bird
dropping. What bird would want
to eat that? As the caterpillar
bulks up, it develops the wavering yellow stripes, mingled with
black and white ones, that first
caught our attention. These
stripes are a visual bluff, suggesting to predators that it may
be toxic. Any bird that has tried
to nosh on an awful-tasting
monarch caterpillar is likely to
eschew anything of similar coloration.
In our little garden plot, with

plenty of greens to go around,
the caterpillars became a happy
curiosity rather than a nuisance.
That summer we found so many
of them we became careful in
harvesting the carrots. We

A Walk In The Woods_____________________________________________________________________________

Karen P. Bennett,
UNH Cooperative Ext. Forester
Almost by definition, a walk in

the forest should relax, rejuvenate and renew. Research and my
personal experience shows this to
be true.
For the most part, when I walk in

the woods, I come home feeling
relaxed and happier than when I
started. Walking in the woods is
guaranteed to distract me from
whatever ails mefamily, work
or general malaise. There are just
too many beautiful and magnificent sights, even on the smallest
woodlots.
In too few years EAB made its

way to 25 states, including New
Hampshire. We found it in
Concord in 2013. Though EAB is
a good flier, it didnt traverse the
country on its own. It radiated
out from the Midwest in nursery
stock and wood products, especially as campers brought their
infested firewood with them on
camping trips. We now have
quarantines in place limiting the
movement of ash products,
including firewood, but EAB is
here to stay and the best we can
hope is to slow the spread.
Since EABs discovery, millions
When I cross streams or small

swales, or walk along larger
streams and rivers, or tromp

standsall places where the ash
growI find my eye looking for
ash. If I spy one, I look for the
tell-tale sign of the blonded
bark caused by woodpeckers
flaking off the outer bark as they
forage for EAB larvae developing in the life-giving cambium
and phloem.
I consider this unconscious attentionlooking for ash and then
looking for the insect when I find
the ashas woods-worrying and
I resent it, but I cant help it.
Though a minor component in

most New Hampshire forests, ash
is a beautiful tree. Often
straighter than neighboring trees

and limbless for most of its trunk,
ash resemble light-colored,
green-topped telephone poles
scattered throughout the forest.
Ash is economically valuable
and grows in sensitive ecological
areas like floodplains, black ash
swamps, and enriched cove hardwood stands at the base of slopes.
I know of more than one woodlot
owner who has nurtured ash as
part of their woodlot for decades,
designating their ash as the crop

for the longest time to the maximum maturity. EAB has changed
their plans.

Public Rule Hearing On Wildlife

Rehabilitator Permits & More__________
A public hearing on proposed rule changes affecting wildlife

rehabilitator permits and the importation of fishing bait will be
held at 12:00 noon on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at the N.H.
Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, N.H.
Fish and Game is readopting, with some minor changes, the rules
regulating the possession and importation of wildlife. The new
rules would bar the importation of aquatic invertebrates (including crayfish) for bait, and would establish a six-trap combined
limit for crayfish and minnows.
The proposed changes also include a two-tier system of wildlife

rehabilitator permits; there would be an apprentice permit and a
full wildlife rehabilitator permit.
The complete rulemaking notice, with original and proposed rule
language for these proposals, can be viewed at
www.wildnh.com/legislative/proposed-rules.html.
Written comments must be received by October 23, 2015. Send

to: comments@wildlife.nh.gov (use the rule name in your subject
line); or write to Executive Director, N.H. Fish and Game On Friday, North Country Senator Jeff Woodburn gave a full-day tour to Sen. Andrew Hosmer
Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH 03301; or fax to 603- (D-Laconia), who serves on the Senate Finance Committee. The pair concluded with a tour of
