As the crisp cool glow of theafternoon sun dips below thetree-lined horizon, I step outinto the snow drifts behind thehouse. Ice crystals blow pastmy face, shimmering in thedying light. Scanning the fieldsI spot the dog. Hes out on theedge, near the livestock fences.I call out to him. With a pauseand cock of the head, he consid-ers my question, takes a fewquick sniffs and bounds back tome at full speed. We headinside, brush off the snow andwarm up next to the woodstove.The dog settles down with a

bone; I stand, my hands prais-

ing the stove and the blazewithin---both of us content.

I gaze over to the far side of theroom and notice a baby crawl-ing across the carpet in a maddash to catch a runaway ball.My wife looks on with a lovinggrin and light hearted laugh;smiling I catch her eye andsilently share in the joy of my

sons crawl verse ball chaserace. Life is good.

Home is where the heart is andmy heart is here. Here with myfamily. Here in New England.From my friendly neighbors tomy co-workers and colleagues,this place---this community---truly is the best place on earth.Its easy to forget why we livewhere we live. We get boggeddown in the drudgery of every-day life and work. We missthose simple moments becauseour minds are often someplaceelse---thinking about work,

bills, Facebook, Twitter,

Instagram, politics, world news,car repairs, groceries.... As theseasons cold makes its rounds,take a moment to reflect on thegood in the everyday---be it asnowflake falling from the sky,a ladybug thats found its winterhome in your bedroom, or afriendly greeting from a passer-

The Haverhill Corner Librarywill sponsor a discussion seriesfeaturing Scandinavian myster-ies, the library has announced.The first discussion will focuson a classic in this category,

The Laughing Policeman byMaj Sjwall and Per Wahl.

The discussion will be heldMonday, February 22 at 7:00PM, and will be free and opento the public.

The popularity a few years agoof Stieg Larssons The Girl withthe Dragon Tattoo and itssequels considerably raised theinternational profile of mysterynovels from Scandinaviancountries, but in fact the regionhas a significant history in thisarea. In addition to TheLaughing Policeman, this dis-cussion series will also featureFaceless Killers by HenningMankell (March 28) and The

Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) for theweird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you dont have to.

So when you read this, the NHprimary will be history; Id like

to take a look at how I did withthe predictions I made, butbecause of deadlines, as I writethis, itsstillbefore voting day in

NH. To refresh: I predicted NHwinners would be Trump big andSanders pretty big. At least weare done with political ads, right?(I do feel bad for MartinOMalley he seems like a niceenough person, but betweenBernie and Hillary press cover-age, it was Martin who?)

I do like some of what Ive hearfrom Trump (and others), buthaving dealt with and learningabout people with a NarcissisticPersonality Disorder, there aretoo many character issues to evenconsider him as our president

ultimately, I see him as a narcis-

sistic bully you know, a Youmade me mad, Im taking mytrailer and going home! type.Yes, I too want to see Americagreat again, but IMHO there haveto be some manners and tactinvolved (at least that is how I

was brought up). I dont under-stand why people who supporthim cant just say, Let us agreeto disagree. Instead, they getinto name-calling. Shame onyou.

Time for a few lesser-knownproverbs: (1) A fine is a tax fordoing wrong. A tax is a fine fordoing well. (2) The 50-50-90rule: Anytime you have a 50-50chance of getting somethingright, theres a 90% probabilityyoull get it wrong. (3) When thechips are down the buffalo isempty. (4) A day without sun-shine is like ... night. (5) On theother hand, you have differentfingers.

Edumacation! When a student at

Gateway Middle School inKilleen, Texas, had an asthmaattack during class, the teachertook quick action, per district

protocol: she e-mailed the schoolnurse and waited for an e-mailreply. Several minutes later, thegirl collapsed onto the floor.Fellow student Anthony Ruelas,15, decided to take action: heproceeded to go over and pickher up, saying we aint got timeto wait for no email from thenurse, the teacher wrote. Hewalks out of the class and carriesthe other student to the nurse.Various sources say he saved the

girls life, but the school sus-pended Ruelas for two daysbecause he walked out of class.It gets better: the next day, theschool called Ruelass motherdemanding to know why he wasabsent. She had to remind themhe had been suspended.Superintendent John Craft issueda statement noting that Studentsrendering assistance and theirefforts are to be applauded.[Killeen Daily Herald]

I admit I get a bit misty lookingat some of the posts people putup online that celebrate the good-ness in people that is still outthere. I also believe I could dosome serious damage to some of

the people who do what they doto children and animals. I dontunderstand why some peoplethink it is okay. There is inno-cence in children and animals,and to allow or cause them to suf-fer as some do is pure evil. Towit: a dog in Canada is in recov-ery after narrowly surviving

being shot with an arrow. An ani-mal rescue organization inRegina, Saskatchewan, calledCC RezQs Regina postedArrow is considered the luckiestdog in the world! The arrowmissed her spinal cord by mil-limeters! Vet team was able toclean a lot of hair and gunk outof the large wound and run adrain all the way through fromthe entry wound to the exit

wound. The female dog (whichstaff from the rescue group nick-named Arrow) may alsorequire surgery to remove pieces

of broken vertebrae, but CCRezQs Regina shared a photo ofher in recovery. Shes doingreally really well! CC RezQsRegina was able to find a foster

home for Arrow.Do your job! The Palm BeachCounty (Fla.) Sheriffs Office hasdisciplined CommunicationOfficer Charles M. Morris, 52,after an internal affairs investiga-tion revealed he put emergencycalls on hold so he could playvideo games. Calls were held foras long as 40 minutes, andincluded a shooting, and a hit-and-run crash. As punishment,considering he has previous rep-rimands on his record, Morriswas demoted from trainingofficer to dispatcher. [Palm

Beach Post]

Clothes not only make the man,they can make ironic commen-tary on the person wearing them.That seems to be what happenedto Micheal Emrick, who wasarrested for various felonieswhile wearing a t-shirt with thewords, Really good at making

So much for a bleak midwinter.Here I am sitting with the win-dows open and a touch ofspring breath is welcome. Fiftydegrees in early February?What goes on?

Rivers run free; snow is melt-

ing; ice forms over night andgives us rivulets by sunlight.Its that crazy climate changenearly every scientist agreeswith and those in the energybusiness dont.

No matter what you believe isbehind this crazy weather, itoffers unique winter challengesfor hikers. Five to ten years agopeople were better equippedbecause they took to the trailcarrying snowshoes,MicroSpikes, and crampons.But these days, when informa-tion on trail conditions run fastand furious and are only athumb click on an iPhone away,too many hikers are opting for

the information instead of the

safe way.

A few weeks ago, a friend ofmine was in a group of hikerslooking to reach MountIsolation. Its a difficult peak to

reach from the Rocky Branchtrailhead five miles south ofMount Washington. The roundtrip is a 14.6-mile trek and can

be very challenging, especiallyin winter. I was surprised to seein an update from her just a fewhours later that her group was in

North Conway enjoying beersand appetizers.

When I reached out to her, sheresponded, We didnt thinkwed need snowshoes, but wedid.

In other news, and a sign of thetimes, is that while none of thesix brought snowshoes for awinter hike, five of them did

bring selfie-sticks.

My, how the New England hik-ing scene has changed. Thetrails are busier than ever as

people throw their ambitionstowards peakbagging and hik-ing for hiking sake has becomea thing of the past. Add to thatthose known as Instagram hik-ers: those who cannot help

posting about their accomplish-ments with tons of altered pho-tos. They are enough to make a

purist cringe. Used to be therewas a photograph of MountWashington, or Moosilauke, orLafayette, but now theres self-ies with a mountain behindthem in the background. Thefocus of the photo makes it

clear. Here I am in front ofsome mountain.

(Recently, the National Parkshave struggled with Instagramtourists putting themselves in

dangerous positions just so theyhave the right photo to post.The more dangerous ones havethem taking selfies out west infront of grizzly bears. Seriously.In a recent report, park rangersat Yellowstone National Parkhad to post a full-time ranger

between a feeding grizzly bearand those who wanted to getclose enough to her for selfies.The madness of narcissism.)

My friend Gwyneth, a longtimehiker, refuses to visit hikingwebsites any longer for thisvery reason. It used to beabout posting information. Nowits never about the mountainsanymore. Its about getting your

picture taken to show off, andgetting your name on a websitelist, or to get people to likeyou through Instagram orFacebook or Twitter.

She added, It seems like mostof these people have forgottenabout reverence for this incred-ible landscape. Maybe they justnever knew it.

And its true. The trails havebecome about what many cando, backgrounds for personalstories of accomplishment.Theres more ego, less awe.

An acquaintance of mine postsabout thirty hiking photos fromhis weekly treks. More than a

quarter of them are close-upselfies. There he is starting out.There he is taking a break.There he is drinking water. Allof these shots are of him smil-ing as if he is sitting on a beachon vacation.

I suppose you could argue it is agood thing that more people areappreciating this land and the

places once considered sacredby the Abenaki Indians . Oronce considered cathedrals bythe White Mountain artists whosaw heaven in these hills. Butsomewhere along the way, therewas a disconnect. For many,these mountains have becomelittle more than bragging rights.And theyll posts the resultsfrom their stopwatches and

heart rate monitors to show

you!

Oh, its still possible to fquiet trail and a private Just pick out one that isn

popular list where you necheck them off to get tioned on-line. But even t

becoming increasingly dito find since new lists ar

being created.

Perhaps Midnight Bromberg had it right yeawhen he became the first pknown to have stood atosummit of each of thethousand footers at midnisurely was different than on a recent January wehike atop the summit of MLafayette when a hiker rep

seeing at least a dozen peon cell phones.

The Outside Story by Madeline Bodin __________________________________________________________

Have You Seen A MountainLion?

In the photo, the mountain lion

ies on its side on the shoulder ofa Connecticut parkway. Tailights shine in the distance. A

Connecticut state troopersnapped the photo after amotorist had struck and killed theanimal on a June night in 2011.

Wildlife biologists quickly con-firmed this mountain lion was theone photographed days before infront of an elementary school inGreenwich, Connecticut, about40 miles west. (School was can-celled.) Within months, DNAevidence revealed that this ani-mal was the same one seen in thebackyard of a retired game war-den in Lake George, New Yorkthe previous December, andtracked in Wisconsin and

Minnesota in 2009 and 2010.DNA testing also showed that themountain lion came from theBlack Hills of South Dakota, thenations eastern-most confirmedbreeding population. This youngmale had walked an astonishing1,500 miles.

This, said Vermont Fish andWildlife fur-bearer project leaderChris Bernier, is why he takesreports of mountain lion sight-ngs seriously. Although the US

Fish and Wildlife Servicedeclared the breeding populationof wild mountain lions east of theMississippi extinct in March2011, and biologists are confi-dent there is no wild, breedingpopulation in the Northeast, that

doesnt mean a mountain lioncouldnt show up in the

Northeast because, well, one did.

The last known wild mountainlion in the Northeast died inMaine in 1938. The last wildmountain lion in New Hampshiremay have been killed in theWhite Mountains in 1885. InVermont, it was 1881.

Since then, there have been ahandful of confirmed mountainlion sightings in the Northeast,although most have been thoughtto be escaped captive animals.

There are also many uncon-firmed sightings. Bernier getsmore than 50 reports of mountainlions a year. Patrick Tate, NewHampshire Fish and Games fur-

bearer project leader, receivesabout 20. There is no physicalevidence for most sightings in thetwo states, and when there has

been physical evidence, it hasbeen at best inconclusive.

The Connecticut mountain lionleft tracks, scat, fur and gamecamera photos in four states.Mountain lions may be stealthy,

but they do leave a trace.

Sometimes physical evidenceshows the sighting was of someother animal, including dogs,cats, fishers, coyotes, bears and

bobcats. Mountain lion sightingsin New Hampshire haveincreased along with the bobcat

population, said Tate.

You might think that it would beeasy to tell the two cat speciesapart. Mountain lions weigh 105to 140 pounds and can be up toeight feet long from the nose tothe tip of the tail. Bobcats top outat about 40 pounds (most aremuch lighter than that) and areonly about three feet long.Mountain lions have long, heavytails, while bobcats have stumpyones. But people mistake them

all the time.

I have plenty of bobcat photosfrom remote cameras where its asideways view of the face, thetorso is turned just so, hiding thetail, and it looks like a mountainlion, said Susan Morse, a natu-ralist and educator based inHuntington, Vermont, who hasstudied mountain lions through-out her career. I often use those

photos in my presentations toshow how easy it is to confusethings.

On a research trip to Arizona,where there is a confirmed breed-ing population, a biologist toldMorse that 90 percent of themountain lion sightings hereceives turn out to be bobcats.And thats in a place wherethere is a known mountain lion

population, she said.

If and when another mountainlion sighting is confirmed in NewEngland, it will almost certainly

be a male. Male mountain lionstravel much farther than femalesto find a territory of their own.Morse says they are looking orsmelling, really for a place withfemales, prey, and no othermales. Males from known west-ern populations have turned up inMinnesota, Missouri, Louisiana,and elsewhere. Morse is confi-dent that there are other malemountain lions wandering in theEast.

But a breeding populationrequires females, and Morse isnot optimistic that female moun-tain lions will make it into to theEast on their own, both becausethey tend not to travel as far as

males, and because of inhunting pressure.

In Vermont, says BePeople want to see

because they want to believthey live in this rural,

place. For now, however,have to accept that thesedents of the wild West are ain our own neighborhoods awilderness.

Wildlife Fish & GameCommission is anxious to begina season on bobcats as early as

December of this year. Theywant to trap bobcats in

December then in January theyplan to shoot them and usedogs. Bobcats have been pro-tected since 1989. They werenamed the state wild cat byGovernor Hassan August 4,

2015. No one eats bobcat meat.The fur is not needed for ourclothes. So why do this?

Because a $250,000 populationstudy done last year showedthat there may be a few extraindividuals so we better find away to "manage" them. Bobcatsdon't need to be managed. Theydon't threaten humans or prop-erty. A sighting is a raredelightful event. We like seeingthis beautiful predator living

freely in our environment .Leave them alone. Trapping isnot a nice tradition to handdown to the next generation.

Send your comments concern-ing a Bobcat Season to:

Executive Director, NH Fish

and Game Department, 11Hazen Drive, Concord, NH0330. Or use email: [email protected] or fax:(603) 271-5829. You have until

February 1st to stop this badidea.

Left-Wing Euphemisms

A letter with the headingConsider the effect your votemight have on the SupremeCourt appeared in the

January 20, 2016 edition of theLittleton Courier.This letter was written by a per-

son who I know to be a far-leftLiberal and it contains severaleuphemistic expressions that Ibelieve are commonly used bythat group of people.

The first of those expressions isvote for the rights of women.

I believe that if you drill downon this expression, what it most-ly means is vote to protect theright of certain women to solicitthe murder of their unborn chil-dren so that they might avoidthe logical consequences of,what is most often, recklessbehavior on their part.

The second expression is pro-tect your vote and mine. In my

experience, this expression usu-ally means to keep more politi-cal influence in the hands ofthose who support the left-wingagenda and make sure that nottoo much is done to interferewith the potential for fraudulentvoting.

The last expression is protectthe rights and interests ofminorities. I believe that thisexpression really means to keepas many minorities as possibledependent upon the governmentthus more likely to support theleft-wing agenda and peoplelike Bernie Sanders.

So, if you support the above-ref-

erenced positions and youwould like to have a U.S.Supreme Court who also sup-

ports them and will acquiesceto the Federal Government tak-ing greater and greater control

over your life, you shouably vote for a Democra

Two Cups of Tea

The box of tea was a treat, ablend of herbs distinct fromthose homegrown & home-dried ones stored in mason jarsatop our kitchen shelf. The

paper tag accompanying each

tea bag, too, carried a littleexcitement. What would thisone say? Alternatingly earthy,empowering, blissful, and

peaceful mantras; some wereappropriate, some were wise

but not personal. This particu-lar one, though, resonated insynchronic harmony with myown thoughts: mental happi-ness is total relaxation.Shuffle the words, and it stillfeels right - mental relaxation istotal happiness.

Drinking this, I was visiting mysister, brother-in-law, and their

young baby. Days had nogreater purpose than makingmy nephew laugh, feeding hiscuriosity, joining in his naps,honoring the simplicity of hisgames and his joy. My sisterand I, close despite the distance

between our physical addresses,encouraged each other in thecelebration of these moments ofinnocence and pure emotion.The message of my tea bagfloated on the air easily. Withno demands on my time, noshoulds or oughts, no emails ormeetings, I was supremelyrelaxed. I was exquisitelyhappy - such that all emotionslaid close to the surface, andwere welcome there, for therewas ample time and space foreach to be expressed.

Later, after the tea bag wasreused to point it no longeryielded flavored water, I

slipped the tiny mantra off itsstring before composting theherbs. I didnt want to forgetthe calm of these days, nor con-fuse the why. I knew that uponreturning home, the duties,

plans, and musts of my regularschedule would catch up, andwould numb some of the pure-ness of these emotions. As Ryanand I continually strive to refinethe balancing act of our variousemployments, projects, organi-zations, and plans, I wanted tokeep close the memory of these

days of calm. It was this deeppleasure in being that we wish

to cultivate, and through whichwe feel ourselves and ourhomestead can best flourish.

Forward a month or so, and Iam sitting down to write this.The past few days have beenextraordinary - extraordinary inthat very little happened. Ryanand I were at home, workingtogether on slow-cooked mealsand pulling in wood, convers-ing of the weather and of ourhearts, laughing, sharing calmand quiescence, reading aloud,

reading silently. This time it

was a mug of calenduraspberry leaves that saing, warming my Homegrown, there was nstatement to encapsulexperience accompanyhot tea. But I though

New Hampshire Fish and GameDepartment officials warn thatthis winter's uneven tempera-tures and high winds haveaffected ice formation, particu-larly on the state's larger lakes.Fish and Game is urging thoseheading out onto the ice to exer-cise caution as they do so.

"Caution is in order for thosegoing out onto the ice, especial-ly on the large lakes," said Fishand Game Col. Kevin Jordan."With uneven temperatures andlots of wind, some areas thathave traditionally been safe forice anglers and other outdoorrecreationists are not safe thisyear. We are urging people tocheck the ice thickness foryourself before you go out ontoany frozen waterbody."

Because of the unpredictableice conditions, it is not advis-

able to drive vehicles onto theice, Jordan said. Those on footshould carefully assess ice safe-ty before venturing out by usingan ice chisel or auger to deter-mine ice thickness and condi-tion. Continue to do this as youget further out on to the ice,

because the thickness of the icewill not be uniform all over thewaterbody.

Though all ice is potentially

dangerous, the U.S. Army ColdRegions Research &Engineering Laboratory inHanover, N.H., offers a "rule ofthumb" on ice thickness: Thereshould be a minimum of sixinches of hard ice before indi-vidual foot travel, and eight toten inches of hard ice for snowmachine or All-Terrain Vehicletravel.

Keep in mind that thick ice doesnot always mean safe ice. It is

possible for ice to be thick, butnot strong, because of varyingweather conditions. Weak ice isformed when warming trends

break down ice, then the slushysurface re-freezes. Be especial-

ly careful of areas with current,such as inlets, outlets andspring holes, where the ice can

be dangerously thin.

Tips for staying safe on the iceinclude:

Stay off the ice along the shore-line if it is cracked or squishy.

Dont go on the ice duringthaws.Watch out for thin, clear or hon-eycombed ice. Dark snow andice may also indicate weakspots.Small bodies of water tend tofreeze thicker. Rivers and lakesare more prone to wind, cur-rents and wave action thatweaken ice.Dont gather in large groups ordrive large vehicles onto the

ice.If you do break through the ice,dont panic. Move or swim

back to where you fell in, whereyou know the ice was solid. Lay

both arms on the unbroken iceand kick hard. This will help liftyour body onto the ice. A set ofice picks can help you pullyourself out if you do fallthrough the ice; wear themaround your neck or put them inan easily accessible pocket.Once out of the water, roll awayfrom the hole until you reachsolid ice.

Ice safety is also very importantfor snowmobilers. Don'tassume a trail is safe just

because it exists; ask about trailconditions at local snowmobileclubs or sporting goods shops

before you go.

On February 18, at 7 p.m. at the Old Church Building on10, the library will present a program entitled New Hamlong Love-Hate Relationship with its Agricultural Fairs.

The ever popular Steve Taylor will talk about the populagricultural fairs since the first fair in North America waswhat is now Londonderry, N.H. in 1722.

This first fair became a popular event for generations untilto be so dominated by gambling, flim-flam and other scadimensions that the Legislature revoked its charter in 18fairs had strong supporters and eventually the State cameto appropriating modest sums to help them succeed.

Steve Taylor will discuss the ups and downs of the fairs the years and how public affection for rural traditions fairs embody helps them survive in contemporary times.

The program is sponsored by the N.H. Humanities Councfree and open to the public.

Refreshments will be served.

In todays technology withwireless phones MP3 playersand computers we have somany options available to haveon them, such as more memory,headsets, but there is one optionyou may have heard about butwonder what it is and that is

called Bluetooth.

What is Bluetooth; it is essen-tially a small network linkingtwo different devices together.Bluetooth and WIFI networkingare similar in some ways, yetdifferent in others. They bothwork at the 2.4 GHZ radio fre-quency, however Bluetoothrequires less power, and its

basic operating range is 10meters about 32 feet with a datarate of 1 MB per second. Incomparison WIFI has an oper-ating range of 300 feet and amaximum speed of 54 MB persecond.

The advantage of Bluetooth is itrequires less power and is per-fect for use in mobile phonesand PDAs and computers.Bluetooth can connect up toeight devices at the same time,and avoids any interferencefrom each device by using atechnique called spread-spec-trum.

Bluetooth enabled devices seekand discover compatible hard-ware in range (and vice versa),the device which is lookingsends out an inquiry request.The devices that is available to

be discovered listen for thoseinquiries and sends out aresponse when they receive

one. The connection respothen quick and straight for

Bluetooth was named a10th-century Danish Harold Bluetooth Gormsothe son of King Gorm, hmost noteworthy in introdChristianity into his counthe late 900s and, for a timfying Denmark with pa
