wildlife viewing, hiking, camp-ing or just simple solitude.Many of these remote ponds arelocated off popular hikingtrails. As with any hiking excur-sion, please follow safe hikingguidelines (http://www.hike-safe.com).

As fishing season heats up,trout fishing at a remote pond isa great way to seek refuge fromthe crowds and enjoy some of

the White Mountains' best fish-ing. Anglers generally can backpack a float tube and waders, orsimply wade from shore. Earlyspring water temperatures canstill be fairly cool, so if youhave insulated waders, I recom-mend them. They are a little bitheavier, but well worth it tokeep warm in the cool water.Generally, I hike into theseponds after mid-May; with latesnow melt and ice-out, theopportunities may come a littlelater this year.

Our short mud season this yearwill make hiking easier – nothaving to battle soft and slip-pery terrain. My rule of thumbis when the blacks fliesapproach "unbearable" levels,it's time to grab your Deet, floattube, a light-weight fly rod andrubber boots and pack a lunchfor a day on a remote pond!Brook trout that have spent allwinter under the ice becomevoracious as the first insectsstart to hatch, and surface activ-ity with small nymphs can befrenetic. By early June intoJuly, many of these ponds willprovide good surface activitydue to abundant mayfly hatch-es.

Fish stocked last June shouldhave reached 5-6 inches in most

areas, with 2-year-olds reaching12 inches or better. In fact, thefishing in these picturesqueremote ponds is some of NewHampshire's best kept anglingsecrets. High catch rates andlack of pressure generally pro-vide positive results.

A few of these remote ponds aredesignated as "fly fishing only,"so be sure to check the regula-tions prior to your trip.

For the list of remote ponds thatare stocked, check the Fish andGame website athttp://www.fishnh.com/Fishing/trout_remote.htm. The aerialtrout stocking has been madepossible through fishing licensesales, with assistance from theWildlife Heritage Foundationof New Hampshire.

Local author Peter Faletra haspublished a fictional novel,“ENTANGLEMENT, A Novelof Time and Destiny in theQuantum World”, that made theTop 25 Best Seller in its catego-ry on Amazon Books.

The Northcountry News inter-viewed Dr. Faletra and found afew interesting secrets that arenot obvious in the text of his hotnew seller.

Much of the story occurs wherehe grew up on the outskirts ofBoston next to a monastery.Some of it seems to occur in theWhite Mountains on the top of“Mt. Moosehillock”... and olderspelling of our Mt. Moosilauke.The novel came from 10 yearsof personal notes Dr. Faletracollected from conversationswith some of the world’s greatscientists when he was a SeniorScience Advisor for the Officeof Science in the FederalGovernment.

His love of great literary worksshows up in his writing styleand his knowledge of all thingsscience is obvious as he usesmany imaginative side-storiesto guide the novel’s manyintriguing implications for ourlives.

His book is available onAmazon.com or at your locallibrary.

“Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) forthe weird, the wacky, and thestupid so you don’t have to.”

Hi, All! So, former NFL QBTerry Bradshaw shows up onmy Facebook news feedbecause he said of HillaryClinton: “I don’t like her and Idon’t trust her.” Come on –can’t any of us say that aboutmost politicians out there thesedays? He gets the coveragebecause... well, because he’sTerry Bradshaw. I say the samething, and who knows about it?Just my fourteen readers.

I have decided to stop countingmy readers! Every two weeks Imention my vast readership andthen someone new stops me andtells me to add them. I decidedto stop at 14, a good number.

While we are on low numbers,some people’s hatred of Obamais so deep they will post any-thing online as long as it’sagainst him whether it’s true ornot (that’s the part that bothersme). For example, I cannotbelieve (1) anyone would actu-ally post that Obama is going topardon former Patriot AaronHernandez and (2) peoplewould actually believe it!Idiots! You heard it here first:the honest-to-goodness truthis he’s really a reptilian shapeshifter from another dimen-sion.

Don’t bite the messenger!Robert Kiefer, 25, was arrestedafter losing his composure overan expected check that had notyet arrived in the mail. Ratherthan complain to the checkissuer, Kiefer attacked the lettercarrier. Kiefer pepper-sprayed

the postman (with his own can-ister), and in the ensuing strug-gle, bit the carrier on the leg.[Akron Beacon Journal]Another fine specimen.

So, you may have heard on thenews about The Slender Man(or Slenderman), the mythicalcreature two 12-year-old girlswanted to please by stabbinganother girl 19 times. FromWikipedia: They reportedlyclaimed that they wished tocommit a murder as a first stepto becoming “proxies” of theSlender Man, having read aboutit online. One of the girlsbelieved Slender Man watchesher, can read minds, and tele-port (o-kay, then). The victimsurvived the attack. The attack-ers were charged as adults andare each facing up to 65 years inprison.

Went down to Bike Week. Okaybut disappointing – way toosedate; it was like walkingthrough a mall. Even the BikeWeek Facebook site posted pic-tures of... breakfasts? Come on!We want... well, never mind.(Maybe it’s just a guy thing!)

I don’t want to say my memoryis really bad, but.... Uh, oh,yeah, my memory is so bad Iplanned a surprise party formyself and was totally success-ful!

Public Service: Dying is notnecessarily bad – it’s part ofLife and something we all even-tually do, but there is a time.When it starts to get bad iswhen someone passes on beforehis or her time. What’s reallybad is when it’s way before hisor her time. What’s the worst iswhen it is before one’s time andit DIDN’T HAVE TO HAP-PEN! We are losing too many

young people too soon. If youare abusing alcohol or otherdrugs, please get some help.

A teen in India is being wor-shiped because of his seven-inch tail. It wouldn’t be the firsttime a guy has been worshipedbecause of his “tail”, but whatmakes this story bizarre is thathis tail is actually growing outof his back! Locals have hailedthe wheelchair-bound 13-year-old as an incarnation of theHindu monkey god Hanuman -and refer to him as Balaji. Hishome was converted into a tem-ple where worshipers gather toreceive his blessings and touchhis tail. “A lot of people’s wish-

es come true,” says his grandfa-ther, who lives with the boy.According to one woman, shewas in a coma until familymembers asked Balaji to prayfor her, and when he did, shecame out of her coma. Balaji’shealth has been deteriorating,and it is unclear if the tail hasanything to do with it, but fam-ily members are hoping itmakes a difference. “Doctorsmay remove my tail but peoplewill continue to have anunshakable faith in me,” theboy said. [Bizarre News]

A police officer in GloucesterCounty, N.J., discovered astructure fire and called in fire-fighters. The blaze whichdestroyed the unoccupiedmobile home looked suspi-cious, so investigators didsomething that seems to havebecome a standard crime inves-tigation technique: theychecked social media for evi-dence. Sure enough, police saythey found a video posted onFacebook showing two brothersinside the mobile home, andone of them lighting the fire.By 6:30 a.m., Anthony F.Pettolina, 22, and Gerald J.Pettolina, 30, were in custody,charged with arson. Anthonyhad posted the video on his ownFacebook page. The reporter onthe story noted that “Attemptsto reach relatives of the brotherswere unsuccessful.”(Philadelphia Inquirer) ...Ofcourse they could have triedsending them a message onFacebook.

Finally, a bonus: ^ ^ or ~ ~ :an online link for when youhave a few minutes on the com-puter. I believe the people por-trayed in the following link arereal... regrettably! Check themout, but I will warn you thatsome things cannot be unseen.http://www.viralnova.com/ter-rible-eyebrows/

Quincy Bog Natural AreaCelebrates 40 Years

What do Yosemite NationalPark, the PemigewassetWilderness and the Quincy BogNatural Area have in common?They all celebrate an anniver-sary this year.

In 1864, the Yosemite Grantwas given to California as astate park for "public use, resortand recreation". This was notsufficient protection fromdevelopment and grazing. Itwas conservation leaders likeJohn Muir and Teddy Rooseveltthat further protected the area.In 1890, Yosemite NationalPark was created.

In 1964, President Johnsonsigned into law an act establish-ing the Wilderness Act. Thissought to, "assure that anincreasing population, accom-panied by expanding settlementand growing mechanization,does not occupy and modify allareas within the United Statesand its possessions, leaving nolands designated for preserva-tion and protection in their nat-ural condition...” ThePemigewasset Wilderness, partof the White Mountain NationalForest, was designated in 1984.This area was heavily logged inlate nineteenth century andtoday is a great example of the

resilience of New Englandforests.

So, where does QuincyBog fit in? Like Yosemite andthe White Mountain NationalForest, Quincy Bog facedthreats due to unregulateddevelopment. It was forwardthinking individuals like JoeKent, Hobart VanDeusen, andseveral others that recognizedthe importance of protectingareas of significance. In theyears since, the Bog hasbecome a place for us to enjoynature, get a little exercise, finda quiet place for reflection,observe the natural processes,learn about the natural worldaround us, and serves as an out-door classroom for studentsfrom local schools andPlymouth State University(PSU).

For those of us that can'tremember a time without theBog, we appreciate the thought-fulness of the folks who camebefore us, committed to con-serving land and connectingpeople with nature. While thefounders focused on QuincyBog, in recent years activitieshave expanded to conserveadditional properties with thecreation of the Pemi BakerLand Trust (PBLT) in 2004.The PBLT holds easements for4 properties in the Pemi-BakerValley and is currently working

with additional landowners toensure conservation in perpetu-ity. Since 2002 the Bog has alsoowned the Quincy PastureForest property off EastRumney Road, where residentsand visitors are welcome tohike the nature trails and enjoyspectacular views of the Pemiand Baker Valleys.

Sometimes it takes a little dis-tance to get a new perspective.As our area grows and develop-ment occurs, the work of asmall group of people 40 yearsago, becomes even more mean-ingful.

This year, as we celebrate the40th anniversary of the Bog,please take a moment to thankthose with the foresight, leader-ship and determination to pro-tect this special place. We hopeyou will join us on July 12th forall or part of the day at theQuincy Bog Nature Center.Highlights of the celebrationinclude a Beaver and Bog Walkbeginning at 9:00 am, specialchildren’s activity at 10:30 am,slide show of the history ofQuincy Bog at 1:30 pm and aBog Walk at 2:00 pm. Inside thenature center you’ll see anexhibit of photography byForrest Seavey and the latestresearch findings about the geo-logical history of the Bog asdiscovered by Dr. Lisa Donerand her PSU students.

Quincy Bog Natural Area islocated at 131 Quincy BogRoad, in Rumney. For direc-tions and more informationabout Weekend Walks andWednesday evening programsvisit www.quincybog.org orvisit QuincyBogNaturalArea onFacebook for regular updatesphotos and facts about the Bog.

“We are excited to present sucha diverse group of authors,”said library director JeanneDickerman. “The list of presen-ters includes both novelists andnonfiction writers, so there’ssomething of interest for justabout everyone.”

Dates and speakers for thissummer author series are as fol-lows:

July 16 – Beth Kanell ofWaterford, Vermont, author offour novels, will present theprogram, "The Death of OneChinese Man: St. Johnsbury'sRegrettable Cold Murder Caseof 1921," which served as thebasis for her most recent book,“Cold Midnight.” Kanell’sother books include “TheDarkness Under the Water” setin Waterford, Vermont, “TheSecret Room,” and “All ThatGlitters.”

August 6 – Veronica Francis,author of “Circus Towne: 40Acres of Fun and Fantasy.” TheLittleton author’s recently pub-lished book is a comical mem-oir about a girl growing up in atourist business in the WhiteMountains of New Hampshire.In the book, readers get to re-live the 1970’s and 1980’samusement trends (fromclowns to video games) as theyplayed out in the small WhiteMountains community of TwinMountain.

August 20 – Alan Boye, a long-time professor of English atLyndon State College and St.Johnsbury, Vermont, area resi-dent, will read from and discusshis newest book, “SustainableCompromises: A Yurt, a StrawBale House, and EcologicalLiving.” This book chroniclestwo unusual attempts by theauthor to live simply in two dis-parate American eras. Herecalls both his life in a utilities-free yurt he’d built in NewMexico back in the 1970s, andhis more recent experience ofdesigning and building a strawbale house in Vermont’s ruggedNortheast Kingdom. Boye isthe author of eight books,including his collection ofessays titled, “Just Walking theHills of Vermont.”

September 3 – Art McGrath,editor of The Littleton Courierand author of the historicalnovel “The Emperor’sAmerican,” which follows theexploits of Baltimore,Maryland, native Pierre Burns,a man who was brought up tohate the English and his enlistedby Napoleon’s French army in1804 to assist in the plannedinvasion of England. Althoughhe wears the uniform of aFrench officer, he’s consider anoutsider by many, and as hestands ready to battle his way toLondon, it remains to be seenwho his real enemies are -- theEnglish, his fellow soldiers whoresent his presence, or even hisAmerican countrymen.

September 17 – Dan Szczesny,author of last year’s popularhiking memoir, “Adventures ofBuffalo and Tough Cookie,”will read from and discuss hisnewest book, “The NepalChronicles,” published thismonth by Hobblebush Books ofBrookline, NH This new bookfollows Szczesny and his wife,Meenakshi, as they travel toNepal to get married inKathmandu and trek to EverestBase Camp. While they knewthe journey would be difficult,they didn’t realize was howlife-changing their time in theland of mountains would be.From the chaos of Kathmandu’ssuper-charged streets to the

tranquil but challenging trails ofthe Himalayas, The NepalChronicles is a deeply feltexploration of the culture andhistory of one of the world’smost complex places, and is ameditation on the author’s ownpersonal journey into a newfamily and relationship unlikeany he’s ever experienced.

Szczesny is a long-time journal-ist and travel writer living inNew Hampshire. His first book,The Adventures of Buffalo andTough Cookie, is a hikingmemoir about a one-year, 225-mile journey through some ofNew Hampshire’s least knownwilderness with his 10-year-oldfoster daughter.

Video Collar

For two years members of theUnity College Bear Study soughtto affix a video collar to a cap-tured bear, which would then bereleased into the wild. On June12, the diligence of team mem-bers paid off.

George Matula Jr., an AssociateProfessor of Wildlife Biology atUnity College, led his team tosuccessfully attach a video collarto a 180-pound male. The bear isbeing tracked by GlobalPositioning System (GPS), whichprovides a location of the bearvia satellite every four-an-a-halfhours. The study hopes to even-tually use a collar that would pro-vide streaming video in real time.

Matula says that since it is mat-ing season, he expects the videoto show struggles with other malebears, and encounters withfemales. The video collar will beretrieved in winter.

The Unity College Bear Study, a“first of its kind” study in theUnited States that directlyinvolves undergraduates in thetrapping and study of live bearsin the wild, is a perfect exampleof how Sustainability Scienceenriches the college experiencesof students across the curriculum– combining classroom learningwith real field experience.

No matter what their major,Unity students develop a toolboxof skills that prove to be usefulover a lifetime. While similarbear studies at the graduate levelmight focus research on a limitednumber of topics, thanks toUnity’s focus on SustainabilityScience, students in many classespursue different aspects of UnityCollege’s bear study.

As a result, students from a num-ber of majors gain broad experi-ence, learn to work collaborative-ly with researchers from manydisciplines, and grow to grasp the“big picture” about what wildliferesearch is really all about.These tools developed duringundergraduate studies at Unity

College provide students with thecomprehensive, broad-basedskills to: (a) land their first joband seize leadership opportuni-ties throughout their career; (b)flourish in graduate school;and/or (c) chase their entrepre-neurial dreams to take advantageof the growing green job market.

Unity College students preparefor strong careers in service tothe natural world by achievingreal-world, hands-on resultsbefore they graduate. UnityCollege’s mission is “to educateprotectors and stewards” of theplanet.

No matter their major, studentswork alongside professionalsfrom the Maine Department ofInland Fisheries and Wildlife(MDIFW). That’s becauseUnity’s study contributes to alongstanding MDIFW bear studythat blankets a sweep of Maine.

“They have been studying Maineblack bears dating back to 1975,”explained Associate ProfessorGeorge Matula, who overseesUnity’s study. “This study pro-vides opportunities for studentsto get involved in real-life, largemammal research and manage-ment. That is unique for under-graduate students.”

During the late spring, bear studyparticipants baited and trappedbears in the greater Unity, Maineregion. They collared and trackedbears to find their home range,size, and whether they occasion-ally move far afield. Data gath-ered is compared to that collectedthrough the MDIFW bear study.

Thanks to Unity’s SustainabilityScience focus for teaching andlearning, instead of one bearresearch team, there are many.Student teams have been createdto work on specific aspects of thestudy, such as planning the study;designing databases andGeographic Information Systems(GIS) analysis; producing a bearculvert trap; deploying hair

snares; conducting DNA analysisof bear hairs; performing bloodanalyses; and pre-baiting for thetrapping season. Some studentsapply their work on the study tomultiple classes. Students do notjust work with one professor,they work with many.

Unity students incorporate theirGIS analysis from the bear studyinto an applied GIS course.Kathleen Dunckel, CourseInstructor plus Cheryl Frederick,Assistant Professor of CaptiveWildlife Care and Education,guide students via a thoroughanalysis of the video footage andscats. Brent Bibles, AssociateProfessor of Wildlife Biology,involves students in designingthe hair snare protocols and set-ting them out. Some learn les-sons in mass communications bydeveloping outreaches to arealandowners and a web site.

Sustainability Science helps stu-dents to bridge the gap betweentheory and practice. It alsoinspires them to be adventurous,

Yesterday morning, we awak-ened after a night of pelting rainwith the local rivers runningwild and high and the air feelingthick and sticky. We had tospend the day down in Bostonand instead of driving up Rt. 16home to Jackson, as we havedone for the past five years sincemoving to the eastern side of theWhite Mountains, we drovenorth on I-93 as we did for thefirst four years we hiked up herewhen we lived in Newburyport.In southern New Hampshire wehit rain showers. Clouds werethe rule in the Tilton area. As wedrove through Ashland andThornton rain was coming downhard, but then . . . but then it allstopped. We drove around abend familiar to us in those earlyyears and the sun was shiningdown on the mountains, turningeverything a luminous greenwith large patches of warm goldcoloring splattered in the shad-owy areas. The crowns of thehigher peaks were still in theclouds, but everything else

looked like something capturedin one of the paintings from theWhite Mountain artists of the1800s.

When you love someone . . . orsomething, there are momentsthat sneak up on you where youfall head over heels all overagain. Driving towards theLincoln exit for the KancamagusHighway I could barely containthe beauty as it bubbled up with-in me and grabbed hold of mybreath. So stunning, this naturaltapestry we live in. So simpleand yet filled with rollinggrandeur. Artists tells us thatlight is everything and yesterdayit set fire to the very same kindof yearnings I had for this regionwhen Atticus and I started com-ing here ten years ago. All wasilluminated and in the glow Ilooked at mountains we knowwell, some we haven't visited forquite some time, others we willnever get back to as a pair sinceAtticus is getting older, andmemories danced and draped mein sentimentality.

My mind returned to the variedtrails we grew up on here, him asa two year old and me as a forty-three year old. I could smell thewet earth of the trail that followsa rain storm, feel the brush offerns wet with early morningdew slapping at our legs, sensethe warm sun on a forest path-way as only a hiker knows it, andtaste the fresh air as I drank in asmuch as I could to fill my tiredlungs. Tired from exertion andtired from a busier lifestyle.Looking at MountPemigewasset, Wolf Mountain,the Kinsmans, and CannonMountain under that green car-

pet I remembered, it seemed,every hike we ever took on themas they rolled tightly together.And what came from all of this?Well, sometimes we need to seethings anew to be refreshed andit touched on my reverence forthese mountains.

Reverence. It's a powerful word.It's singular. It defines thingsthat seem impossible to define.It touches on the miraculous andhow it inspires us and renewsand humanizes us again andagain, if we are but aware of thissacrament.

We stopped in to Steve Smith atthe Mountain Wanderer, as weused to do after nearly everyhike those first few years.Atticus receiving cookies fromour smiling friend, and me,remembering how much I appre-ciate this man for what he repre-sents, for what he loves. Stevemoved here more than a quarterof a century ago because of hislove affair with the mountains.It's turned into a healthy and lov-ing marriage.

In the hiking world, Steve Smithrepresents what is right with it.He's old school and has beendragged slowly into the Internetera with his rewarding MountainWanderer Facebook page. Wetalked about how technologywas changing much of themountains, and not always forthe better. Sure, sites like hisreflect beautiful places and hid-den gems. They inspire explo-ration and discovery. And theyare few and far between becausenot enough of them reflect themountains with a humble graceas Steve's does.

Facebook, Twitter, andInstagram have changed things.Pick up any of the books inSteve's store from ten years agoand you will see photographs ofmountains and ledges.Occasionally a person is in aphotograph. There's Steve or hiswife, Carol. Or MikeDickerman. Or Ann Stampfer.And what stood out so clearly asI flipped through the familiarpages in those books as we chat-ted was that in all those photo-graphs containing people, theywere looking at the mountainsand surrendering to them. Theywere guests to the landscape.Today, though, it's not quite likethat. We live in an age whereKim Kardashian is famous for . .. for what exactly I cannot say.We live in an age where imagetrumps a vapid soul.

I have to admit that these days Iskip over most hiking websitesand Facebook pages.Something's happened these pastfive or six years. Where oncethe mountains were the stars andwe held them in reverence, thesedays an increasing number ofnarcissists have made them-selves the focus of the show.Although our Following Atticusbook Facebook page has a ton offans, I often struggle with socialmedia. I only have a personalpage because I need it for mybusiness page and I keep myFacebook friends to a bare mini-mum. Not many of them arehikers. Just this week I"unfriended" someone I careabout. We continue to talk, text,and write letters, but she hashundreds of FB "friends" andmany of them are hikers and to a"T" they seem to spend much

time being aware they are oncamera. The genuine that wasthe centerpiece of the black andwhite photos in the books inSteve's store, has been replacedby solipsistic shots of peoplecrooning, "Look at me, look atme...oh, yeah, there's a mountainbehind me, too." Their wordsare just as unsettling as the pho-tographs.

Somewhere along the trail of thepast decade many have lost trackof why they first started hiking.It was once a return to basics, toa simpler time, and it was anexercise that inspired reverencefor the natural world. But thatwas before selfies and braggingabout elevation gain and timeand many trying to outdo eachother. This was once a placewhere the mountains were whatmattered.

Well, it still is, actually, but youcan't always tell that by socialmedia.

I've made a concerted effort overthe past year to weed out the lessgenuine things in my life. I readbooks that are beautiful, storiesthat are rich. I surround myselfwith people who are still moreconcerned with how things are,instead of how they look. Andone of the things that has made adifference, as I spend more timeon my computer, for work andpleasure, is to be careful what Ipay attention to. That oftenmeans avoiding many of thewebsites created for hiking.Instead I gravitate to those thatare run by nature writers, thosewho embrace the earth, themountains, streams, meadows,and animals who live here.

take risks, think broadly, anddevelop confidence through thecompletion of real-world proj-ects. Students quickly learn thatwhen a live bear is snared and thetime has come to gather biologi-cal samples, the techniqueslearned in the classroom sudden-ly become very real.

In recent years Unity College,which is known as America’sEnvironmental College, hasgained national attention for avariety of achievements includ-ing: its focus on sustainabilityscience, operating at the leading-edge of 21st century ecologicalproblem solving, and being thevanguard in the fight for the mit-igation of global climate change.The college’s ground-breaking“green” innovations such as theaward-winning TerraHaus, whichis the first student residence on acollege or university campusbuilt to the Passive House stan-dard, operates at the most energyefficient building standard in theworld. Unity College is the firstcollege in the United States todivest from investments in fossilfuels. This action ignited a grow-ing national movement in highereducation that recently wel-comed Stanford University to thefold.

Unity College students haveample opportunities to pursueresearch as undergraduates. In2013, the College began amulti-year black bear study incentral Maine. The study is thefirst in the United States todirectly involve college under-graduates in the trapping andtracking of bears, specifically,Maine black bears. A variety ofmedia across the United Stateshave featured stories about theUnity College Bear Study,including National PublicRadio and the Animal Planetreality television show NorthWoods Law.

Through its hands-on experien-tial approach to learning plus asustainability science focus forteaching and learning, UnityCollege prepares students notonly for current environmentalcareers, but also for careers thatare only now being imagined.

Students develop skills andexperiences that employersprize as they pursue internshipsacross the United States andinternationally in countries likeIsrael, Namibia, Belize,Iceland, and China.

Through the framework of sus-tainability science, UnityCollege provides a liberal artseducation that emphasizes theenvironment and naturalresources. Through experien-tial and collaborative learning,our graduates emerge asresponsible citizens, environ-mental stewards, and visionaryleaders.

Thank you for joining us thisweek. Until the next time, asalways, please take time toenjoy the natural world aroundyou.

Again, it seems like some mayjust ruin it for all!!!

Lately, there’s been a lot of talkon social media groups, newspa-pers and the news concerninghiking with dogs.

There are many who hike withtheir dogs, not only here in NewHampshire, but all over the coun-try and the world.

It wasn’t too many years ago thatyou could actually hike a trailhere in the north country and notsee a single sole all day.However, times have changedand hiking has become an avidhobby for bus loads of people;Especially those who are focusedon doing what hikers call, “thelists.”

The lists could be the 48 fourthousand footers in NH or the 67New England four thousand foot-ers or the New Hampshire 100highest or the New England 100highest or the 52 With a View orthe Belknap Range or the Fire

Towers and, well, as you can seethe lists go on and on as to whatpeople can check off.

My feeling is, too many peoplethese days are too concernedabout finishing a list and lesslikely to take their time and enjoytheir surroundings. So much so,that many times people havebecome rude on the trails, Theyare thinking of nothing but them-selves, simply because they areon a mission: Their own mission.

Anyway, sorry to get off track fora moment! Let’s get back to thepoint...Dogs on the trails.

Many dogs are wonderful on thetrails. They pass others and payno attention to other people ordogs. Recently however, therehave been more and more prob-lems with dogs that aren’t as trailfriendly and are not on a leashand owners who don’t under-stand that dogs think like dogsand may react differently becausethey are excited or fearful of anew situation.

There have been several inci-dents recently with dogs goingafter other dogs on the trail.Some even go after dogs that areon a leash. It is becoming moreand more of a problem.

People are so focused on check-ing off a mountain on a list, thatif their dog doesn’t cooperate,they either tie Fido somewherewhile the owner “summits” themountain or they simply leave thedog on its own until they comeback down.

Someone was hiking recently andfound a dog tied to a trail signwith a note that stated, “gone tothe summit, be right back!”

In another instance, a dog wentback down the trail to the park-ing lot and was being cared forby kind strangers until the dog’sowner returned much later in theafternoon. Luckily the dog hadthe owner’s phone number on it’stag. Here’s the twist to the story,when the owner was contacted,she said she would be down assoon as she summited. The dogwas already back in the parking

lot and she was still ascending?Hmmmm.

As far as I am concerned, com-pletely unacceptable!

First, if you are so focused on fin-ishing “lists,” then maybe youshould leave your poor pooch athome! Secondly, if you want thedog with you, put it on a leashand don’t leave it up to someoneelse to take care of it for you.Thirdly, if you have a dog thatgoes after other dogs, then itshould be on a leash, left at homeor better yet, how about an obe-dience class?

People need to start respectingeach other. There are some peo-ple that are deathly afraid ofdogs. They deserve to be on thetrail and to hike without someoneelse’s dog growling or lunging atthem. Even as a dog owner, Idon’t enjoy having my dog, muchless someone else’s dog shakingmud or something unpleasantlyaromatic the dog just rolled in,on me, or stealing my lunch.

Many of the dogs we see on the

trails are fine. In fact, our dogsgo hiking with us regularly.However, we respect the otherhikers that are out there and sim-ply leash our dogs when we knowsomeone else is on the trail.Whether we know our dogs aregood or not, others do not andwhy should they be intimidatedwhile trying to enjoy themselvesin the outdoors!?

Before it becomes a true prob-lem, and before the ForestService has to think about shut-ting down some trails to dogs,let’s simply fix the problem andbe more trail conscious. Respectothers.

We are all out there to be in ourown space, to enjoy the wonder-ful world of nature, to feel anaccomplishment of summiting amountain or for some, to com-plete a list. We all should havethe opportunity to do so, withoutthe stresses of someone else’sarrogance or ignorance.

Inspiring Words for You!

Dear Friends, it would seem like wehave many reasons to be fearful when

we look around us. But God tells us to trustin Him. Put our hope in Him. I would like toshare these Bible verses with you, so that youmight live in the hope that is in Christ.Gen.8:1; Psalm3:2-6; Mark4:30-34;Luke18:35-43; 1Cor.15:54-58; Rev.22:18-21;Lev.26:40-45; Joshua10:25; Job17:15;1Pet.1:3-6; Job5:16; Job6:8; Ps.147:11;Prov.13:12; Rom.5:2-7. And those are but afew that offer hope and encouragement.There is hope in Jesus Christ. Read these withconfidence that our great Hope is in Christ!We need not live in fear, or doubt, or with nohope. He is our Hope. God bless you all.

Tek Talk...With Eli Heath Of Paige Computer Services

Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer

There is another threat out therefor computer users it is calledransom ware. That is where ahacker will install a program onyour computer that will renderit useless until you purchase amoney pak from $100.00 to$300.00 to get access to thefiles on your computer. The lat-est threat is calledCryptolocker. Here is moreinformation about this threatthanks to Windows Secrets bySusan Bradley;

Online attackers are usingencryption to lock up our filesand demand a ransom — andAV software probably won'tprotect you. Here are ways todefend yourself fromCryptoLocker — pass thisinformation along to friends,family, and business associates.

Forgive me if I sound a bit likethose bogus virus warnings pro-claiming, "You have the worstvirus ever!!" But there's a newthreat to our data that we needto take seriously. It's already hitmany consumers and smallbusinesses. CalledCryptoLocker, this infectionshows up in two ways. First,you see a red banner (see Figure1) on your computer system,warning that your files are nowencrypted — and if you sendmoney to a given email address,access to your files will berestored to you.

CryptoLocker warning

Figure 1. CryptoLocker is notmaking idle threats.

The other sign you've been hit:you can no longer open Officefiles, database files, and mostother common documents onyour system. When you try todo so, you get another warning,such as "Excel cannot open thefile [filename] because the fileformat or file extension is notvalid," as stated on a TechNetMS Excel Support Team blog.As noted in a Reddit comment,CryptoLocker goes after dozensof file types such as .doc, .xls,.ppt, .pst, .dwg, .rtf, .dbf, .psd,.raw, and .pdf.

CryptoLocker attacks typicallycome in three ways:

1) Via an email attachment. Forexample, you receive an emailfrom a shipping company youdo business with. Attached tothe email is a .zip file. Openingthe attachment launches a virusthat finds and encrypts all filesyou have access to — includingthose located on any attacheddrives or mapped networkdrives.

2) You browse a malicious web-site that exploits vulnerabilitiesin an out-of-date version of

Java.

3) Most recently, you're trickedinto downloading a maliciousvideo driver or codec file.There are no patches to undoCryptoLocker and, as yet,there's no clean-up tool — theonly sure way to get your filesback is to restore them from abackup.

Some users have paid the ran-som and, surprisingly, weregiven the keys to their data.(Not completely surprising;returning encrypted files totheir owners might encourageothers to pay the ransom.) Thisis, obviously, a risky option.But if it's the only way youmight get your data restored,use a prepaid debit card — notyour personal credit card. Youdon't want to add the insult ofidentity theft to the injury ofdata loss.

In this case, your best defense isprevention

Keep in mind that antivirussoftware probably won't pre-vent a CryptoLocker infection.In every case I'm aware of, thePC owner had an up-to-date AVapplication installed. Moreover,running Windows withoutadmin rights does not stop orlimit this virus. It uses socialengineering techniques — and agood bit of fear, uncertainty,and doubt — to trick users intoclicking a malicious downloador opening a bogus attachment.Your best prevention is two-fold:1) Basic method: Ensure youkeep complete and recent back-ups of your system. Making animage backup once or twice ayear isn't much protection.Given the size of today's harddrives on standalone PCs, anexternal USB hard drive is stillyour best backup option. A 1TBdrive is relatively cheap; you

can get 3TB drives for underU.S. $200. For multiple PCs ona single local-area network,consider Michael Lasky's rec-ommendations in the Oct. 10Best Hardware article,"External hard drives take oncloud storage."

Small businesses with net-worked PCs should have auto-mated workstation backupsenabled, in addition to serverbackups. At my office, I useBackup Box by Gramps'Windows Storage Server 2008R2 Essentials (site). It lets mejoin the backup server to myoffice domain and back up allworkstations. I run the backupsduring the day, while others inthe office are using theirmachines — and I've had no

complaints of noticeable dropsin workstation performance.

As mentioned make sure you doregular backups of all your datafiles that means your pictures,documents and financial datafiles backup everything that isimportant to you just in caseyou do get the virus you do nothave to pay the $300.00 ransomall you have to do is reload yourcomputer and restore youbacked up files.

I will be talking more about thisvirus in the next article if youhave any questions please callme at (603)747-2201 or [email protected] , until nexttime have a safe computingexperience.

Poet “Emily Dickinson” Comesto Northern New Hampshire

Multi-award-winning Play toOpen at the Mulburn Inn andLittleton Community Center

If you missed catching aglimpse of the elusive 19thcen-tury legend in 2006 when shelast visited the North Country,you'll want to see “EmilyDickinson” in The Belle ofAmherst this July and earlyAugust. Written by WilliamLuce, based on the writings of

the superb, sparkling, and enig-matic poet Emily Dickinson,this multi-award-winning one-woman play was originally per-formed on Broadway in 1976as a vehicle for 5-time TonyAward-winner Julie Harris. Itreceived universal acclaim, andwas hailed by theatre critic RexReed to be “an arresting, rivet-ing experience unlike any I’veknown. An overwhelming,meticulous adventure full ofpassion and poetry and heart.”

Renée Bucciarelli, who grew up

in Colebrook, New Hampshire,spent twenty years in New Yorktheatre, garnering praise fromThe New York Times for someof her work as a classical actor.She now shines in the role of'The Myth”, as Dickinson wascalled in her time. Bucciarelli’sportrayal has captured thehearts of audiences on bothCoasts. Review Vancouver, ofBritish Coumbia, whereBucciarelli now resides, gushed“The indefatigable RenéeBucciarelli will reward yourassiduity with a compelling

insight into the life of this rec-ondite and mysterious woman.”The actor offers that “Emily is aquintessential New Englander,and an inexhaustible subject.”She adds, “Playing her whileliving across the continent hasbecome a way for me to feellike I’m back home.”

Costumed in her famous whitedress (a historically accuratereplica in this production),“Miss Dickinson” ventures outof her self-imposed seclusion towelcome audiences into her

Victorian parlor for a little teaand black cake, town gossipand poetry—and to ultimatelysteal hearts while inspiringbelief in the redemptive act ofcreation. Two historic NewHampshire venues perfectlyprovide the setting for MissDickinson’s parlor: theMulburn Inn of Bethlehem(July 26) and the LittletonCommunity Center (July 30,August 1&2). A special eveningand talk-back with EmilyDickinson, “Because I See NewEnglandly” will also be presnt-ed at the Tillotson Center inColebrook (July 27).

Dickinson lived a life of intensepassion, contemplation, and,ultimately, reclusion. Of thenearly 1800 poems EmilyDickinson penned, only 7 werepublished in her lifetime.

Dickinson has been the inspira-tion of at least three otherBroadway plays, countlessbooks, novels, poems, dances,performances, and artworks.

THE BELLE OF AMHERST:Saturday, July 26, 2014, 7 pm,presented by The ColonialTheatre. Tickets $24/20 withinfo at bethlehemcolonialthe-atre.org

Solar Energy: Our Turning Point

The cost of solar is equal to orless than the cost of electricitypowering electric grids in atleast 79 countries, according toAl Gore’s piece in RollingStone (The Turning Point: NewHope for the Climate, 6/18/14).Gore alerts us to the reality thatthe tide is turning in favor ofconsumers for our energyneeds. No more blatant exam-ple of this can be found than inour struggle with HydroQuebec over their NorthernPass Project. We have struggledfor 4 years against HQ’s slickadvertizing, empty promisesand outright lies in their effortsto sucker NH into caving intotheir scam.

To illustrate the turning point,Gore uses the example of Solarenergy’s growth, thanks to con-sumer initiatives. People havegradually been adding solar toheat their water and theirhomes. Like cell phones thatbegan as big boxes 25 years agoand have now streamlined tosmall handheld devices afford-able by most consumers, solaris gradually becoming stream-lined and more affordable,thanks to ordinary citizens, notcorporate power.

Key to this turning point is ourability as individuals to keepalert and informed about newpossibilities for renewable ener-gy. Massive campaigns by cen-tralized corporations, full ofempty promises of affordable

energy, need to be recognizedfor what they are.In Arizona, the Koch brotherstried to stop homeowners fromexpanding their use of solar byfunding a campaign that askedthe public utility commission totax solar households up to$150. a month. The opposition(grass roots people like you andme) worked out a compromisethat reduced the tax to $5. amonth.

Keeping each other wellbecomes possible when wechoose to stay awake andinformed and, as Gore says,“empowered by a sense ofurgency and emboldened withthe courage to reject despairand become active.”

With elections coming, we havethe opportunity to attend candi-dates nights and find out wherecandidates stand on energyissues. We can talk with neigh-bors who are exploring solarand other renewable energysystems. We can keep informedby reading Gore’s and otherarticles about climate changeand real renewable energyavailable free on the internet.We can keep our governor andlegislators posted on our con-cerns.

As always, it’s that first stepthat counts.

Elizabeth Terp welcomes yourcomments at PO Box 547,Campton, NH 03223, e-mail:[email protected], orher Keeping Each Other WellBlog: http://elizabethterp.com.

A Greenhouse, Part 2This is about a structure. Abuilding, a frame, a plan, andmuch work. It’s about wood,and metal; hardware andscrews. And, really, it’s aboutmy Dad.

Ryan and I may have the plansand imaginings, but when itcomes to the nuts and bolts ofbuilding, our ideas sorely needthe skills that my father canoffer. So while we stumblethrough our conceptual under-standing of how the greenhouseskeleton should be framed intoa working structure, Bob pullsout the tape, grabs the pencilbehind his ear, and jots a fewnotes. He sketches, mulls itover, looks through the oddsand ends stored in his tinyworkshop...and suddenlyknows exactly how he’d like todo it. He confers with us, lay-ing out his plan as if there’smuch to debate and consider,and letting us make the deci-sions. But we’re not nearly soconfident with right angles andlevel planes as we are with car-rying heavy objects, growingfood, or cutting wood. So weenthusiastically say yes to eachof his queries, and couldn’t bemore relieved to give him acarte blanche go-ahead.

We buy the hardware, and Ihaul dimensional timber back toour homestead on my shoul-ders. Using two rock bars, Ryanand I move boulders beyond thefootprint of the greenhouse,then pull the bramble roots that

are already trying to grow theirway back inside this freshest ofclearings.

My parents (my mother is aself-described top-notch helper)also prepare for this greenhouseproject like, well... just likewell-practiced parents. Theycarry over buckets of extra toolsand backpacks full of hardware,plus lunch. Ryan and I head outto our respective jobsites, andMom and Dad head in to theirown work. We’re lucky to havetheir enthusiasm.

A look over our shoulders as weleave the property for the dayincludes a glimpse of the fivemetal ribs arcing above bareground. Brambles, stumpsprouts, and saplings frame thesimple lines of the greenhouse-to-be. Upon returning home,though, it seems to nestle intothe landscape a bit more com-fortably. Its form and functionis taking clearer shape.

There are now baseboards wait-ing to be back-filled withwheelbarrow loads of compostand manure. We have shoulderpurlins stabilizing the ribs andpreparing for the plastic tocome. And the rear wall isframed with a doorway andstuds. Lumber for the frontwall is stacked and ready on top

of my father’s well-worn saw-horses. Once I’ve brought in asmuch organic matter as I can tobuild the beginnings of deep,rich beds, the final wall will goup. Then the plastic covering.And then, and then, and then,we’ll grow a bit more food,with a tad longer growing sea-son. And there’s two remark-ably generous hard-workersover our hill with whom we’llshare the bounty.

Garden work is my specialty!Weeding, planting, mulchingand pruning services available,plus edible landscapes and gar-den designs. Contact Beth [email protected] for yourannual, perennial, herbal, orornamental garden needs (seeBusiness Directory listingunder ‘Garden Design &Services’).

The Colorado-based sustainability think-tank RockyMountain Institute (RMI) believes we already have the tech-nologies to help foster a rapid evolution of our electricity sys-tem, but we still need the political and institutional will tomake it happen.

"Inspiring Healthy Choices For Life"

Dear EarthTalk: How does theRocky Mountain Institute thinkwe can get off of oil and coal by2050 and save money in theprocess?

-- James Greenville, Redding, CT

Colorado-based sustainabilitythink-tank Rocky MountainInstitute (RMI) was founded in1982 by American physicist

and environmentalist AmoryLovins to research and promotemarket-based solutions to ourenergy crisis without breakingthe bank. The group is focusingefforts on transforming domes-tic and eventually global energyuse to create a clean, prosper-ous and secure energy future bymid-century.

“We can eliminate our addic-tion to oil and coal by 2050 anduse one-third less natural gaswhile switching to efficient useand renewable supply,” saysLovins, adding that doing socould actually cost less and sup-port a more robust economythan continuing with business-as-usual: “Moreover, this tran-sition needs no new inventionsand no acts of Congress and nonew federal taxes, mandate sub-sidies or laws…”

To get there, Lovins acknowl-edges that we have to startthinking differently now. RMIis advocating cutting U.S. elec-tricity consumption by 18 per-cent over the next 10 yearswhile almost doubling renew-able energy’s share of genera-tion from 16 to 30 percent.

Few would argue with the costsavings and environmental ben-efits of such a plan—implemen-tation is the challenge.According to Lovins, wealready have the technologies tohelp foster a rapid evolution ofour electricity system, but westill need the political and insti-tutional will to make it happen.RMI has begun a dialogue withutilities and other entities toalign incentives and createmore opportunities for electric-ity users to contribute cleanpower to the grid themselvesthrough technologies likerooftop solar power.

One key feature of RMI’s planis rate structures that reflect thetrue benefits and costs of mov-ing to more distributed (smallscale/decentralized) energyresources. The group is work-ing with utilities to launch six“Electricity Innovation Labs”nationally as well as a “SolarDevelopment ExcellenceCenter” to highlight the feasi-bility of distributed renewables.RMI also wants to simplifycommercial photovoltaicfinancing, incorporate renew-ables into real estate financeand make solar financingaffordable to underserved mar-kets.

RMI also wants to make largebuildings much more energyefficient, and aims to make abillion square feet of commer-

cial space 35 percent more effi-cient by 2025 through so-called“deep energy” retrofits, includ-ing the adoption of more renew-ables. RMI is targeting four ofthe largest, most influential seg-ments of the buildings mar-ket—major companies, theGeneral ServicesAdministration, the Departmentof Defense and “activist” cities(those already on the green cut-ting edge)—for major energyretrofits, and is working to per-suade private investors to con-sider overall impact and long-term costs, not just short termgains.

Another major part of RMI’splan is to work with large metroregions with upwards of 10 mil-lion residents, and with univer-sity campuses, to make majorefficiency gains. Other keys togetting us off oil and coal by

2050 include transforming howwe design and use vehicles, andgetting Fortune 500 corpora-tions to rejigger their energysupply chains to facilitate pro-curement of more renewableenergy. Beyond the U.S., RMIis working along similar lineswith China and other largedeveloping countries to helpthem avoid some of the energydevelopment missteps under-taken here at home.
