Warren - Wentworth Food Pantry Thankful For Community Outpouring

The Warren-Wentworth Food Pantry recently received donations from a couple of different community resources. Pictured on the left are food pantry volunteers along with organizers of the Warren Town Wide Yard sale. Yard sale organizers Nancy Chandler, Donna Bagley, Susan Spencer and Maggie Carr presented the food pantry with a check for $556.80 received through the selling of items at the yard sale. Pictured on the right is Mount Moosilauke ATV Club (MMATVC) President Vern Brigham (in orange jacket) alongside other club members presenting Warren-Wentworth Food Pantry Volunteers Linda Flagg and Scott Hancock a check for over $1,000. The ATV club raised funds for the food pantry by holding a recent treasure hunt, which included a bake sale and a raffle, where all proceeds went to the pantry. The food pantry would like to thank all the organizers of the different events, and would like to especially thank all the people who supported those events. - Don Bagley / Bryan Flagg Photos

Northcountry News Picture Of The Week

Bermans Bits
by Dave Berman
Incessantly scouring the universe for the weird, the wacky, and the stupid so you dont have to. Greetings, and thanks for joining me for another week. Starting us off are a few news stories you may have missed. First, bon apptit (thats French for I dont think so!) Championship eaters gobble down hot dogs on New Yorks Coney Island, but this summer, when a Filipino restaurant in Brooklyn wanted a more ethnic contest, it offered plates of baluts the Philippine delicacy of duck fetuses. Wayne Algenio won, stuffing 18 down his throat in five minutes. Typically, the baluts have barely begun to develop, sometimes allowing a lucky diner to sense in his mouth the crackle of a beak or the tickle of a feather. Since baluts are exotic, they are considered to be (as is often the case in Asia) aphrodisiacs. [Huffington Post] Eeeuuuw! Next, thats my story, and... well, you know the rest. Ms. Navey Skinner, 34, was charged with robbing the Chase Bank in Arlington, Wash., after passing a teller a note that read, Put the money in the bag now or [d]ie. According to investigators, Skinner subsequently told them she had been thinking about robbing a bank and then, while inside the Chase Bank, accidentally robbed it. [Daily Herald] Finally, something else to worry about. A jury has decided that a Syracuse doctor isnt to blame for an operating-room mishap that caused a pregnant woman to catch fire during a cesarean section delivery. Kira Reed suffered a 7-inch-long burn on her side two years ago when an alcohol-based antiseptic applied to her skin was accidentally ignited by a medical device. The fire was out quickly and her baby was fine, but she sued over the injury. Reed reached an out-of-court settlement with the hospital, but the Post-Standard of Syracuse reported that a jury rejected a negligence claim this week against obstetrician Stephen Brown. Browns lawyer says the jurys decision was appropriate.

A tree of gold! This tree was so bright, that it actually looked as though it had a huge golden glow around it. Abeautiful setting at the Foote residence, with the Hildreth Dam in the backdrop in Warren, NH. - Suzanne Flagg Photo If you have a photo which you think could make it as our picture of the week, let us know. Email it to ncnewsnh@gmail.com. Your picture could become our next Picture Of The Week! The good news is no more political ads... at least for a while. As this is being put together well before November 6th, here is my early prediction: Obama (and Democrats in general) will be victorious and fare well. I did vote Libertarian (see my last column), but as slow as any recovery is, I still couldnt see Romney doing any better for we the people. No discussion necessary. Whatever you feel is right (for you). the required ABV. A pint of the beer contains an alarming 37 units of alcohol - twice the recommended weekly intake for a man. Brewmeister says the beer should be consumed like a fine whisky. A spokesman said: Despite being 65%, the beer has a lot of flavour - malty, hoppy, slightly sweet and lots of yeast still in the beer. Be careful though, smelling it is probably enough to put you over the limit! Brewery founder Lewis Shand told Standard Media: The phrase delivers a punch doesnt quite cut it - delivers a supersonic charged explosion is probably more appropriate. broker a compromise: a commemorative necktie that students will design and the head teacher agrees will be considered part of the school uniform. [Coventry Telegraph] One of the best jokes ever: A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesnt seem to be breathing, and his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: My friend is dead! What can I do? The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: Just take it easy. I can help. First, lets make sure hes dead. There is a silence for a moment, and then a shot is heard. The guys voice comes back on the line. He says: OK, now what? In all fairness, one of the worst jokes ever: Question: If youre American when you go into the bathroom and American when you come out of the bathroom, what are you while youre in the bathroom? Answer: European! Kinda rushing here the storm rages outside and its uncertain how long power will remain on. I told my wife she is the person Id most like to face a storm with... except maybe Chuck Norris. I think she liked that... Ill find out when she talks to me again. Finally, a few supposedly true quotes that are (or should be self-explanatory): (1) Everything that can be invented has been invented, Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, US Office of Patents, 1899. (2) We dont like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out, Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962. (3) Im just glad itll be Clark Gable whos falling on his face and not Gary Cooper. Gary Cooper on his decision not to take the leading role in Gone with the Wind. (4) 640K ought to be enough for anybody. Bill Gates, 1981. (5) Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons. Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949. Bonus: It will be gone by June. Variety, passing judgment on rock n roll in 1955. ...Later.

My calendar may have filled up by the time this appears in print, but if you want to get married before the end of the year, as of this writing I am still open 1212-12 (easy date to remember).

Meet The North Countrys Green Grocer____________________

Continued from page A1 A combination of rebates and incentives from New Hampshire Electric Co-op (NHEC), the Retail Merchants Association and the State of New Hampshire made the project feasible, LaPerle said. Youve got to look at the big picture, LaPerle said. There is some financial incentive, but I believe in being green and advancing the field of renewable energy. He also believes in keeping his money close to home. LaPerle has hired fellow Colebrook resident David Belanger of Smart Energy of New England (smartenergyne.com) to build the 36 kWh solar photovoltaic system. Belanger says its the largest project his company has taken on and one of the largest in the state. When completed, the solar array will generate about 40,000 kWh annually.

The solar PV project is just the latest in what has been a longrunning campaign of projects that have made LaPerles IGA the model of energy efficiency. In 2005 he upgraded to energyefficient motors for his refrigeration system. In 2009, he upgraded lighting in the produce department, saving $490 per year. In 2010, he replaced all vertical lighting in the freezer cases with LED lights, saving over $4,500 per year. In 2011 he LaPerle puts it more succinctly. completed a storewide lighting I couldnt afford not to do it, retrofit and installed night he said. shades to insulate freezer cases during off hours for an annual savings of $5,300. This years improvements have included the installation of LED lighting in meat and produce cases at a savings of $5,400 a year; and the solar PV project the biggest of all. Working with Bill Vecchio, his NHEC Account Executive, LaPerle has been able to take advantage of Co-op Energy

Donald is survived by his wife of 31 years, Jeanne Barton of Solutions programs to receive Pike, NH; his two sons, incentives and rebates totaling Kenneth Barton of Enfield, CT more than $44,000. and Douglas Barton and wife Janet of Willimantic, CT; three Guy really takes the long view with these improvements, Vecchio said. Energy efficiency costs more upfront, but state rebates and federal tax credits, combined with our Energy Solutions incentives, can make the difference.

ANNUAL AUGIE DAY CELEBRATION

The Ammonoosuc Valley ATV Club held its Annual Augie Day Celebration at the Pavilion (Augies Take-A-Break) in North Haverhill, NH on Saturday, September 22nd. This day also invited ATV riders to take part in a poker run on the ATV trail that runs from North Haverhill, NH to Littleton, NH. Seventy-seven poker hands were sold and everyone took the round trip run, returning to the Pavilion to a free barbeque lunch. Members of the ATV club supplied homemade cookies and brownies for dessert. The weather was good for riding and everyone seemed to enjoy being outside and taking in the beauty of the crisp fall day. The AV ATV Club members also sold raffle tickets to raise money for the Horse Meadow Senior Center this year. The AV ATV club thanks everyone who contributed to make this event such a success. Plans for September 28, 2013 are already underway!

What Happened To Your Favorite Apple Variety?_______________________________________________________

By Heather Bryant Regional Field Specialist, Food and Agriculture When I was a kid, Northern Spy was my Moms favorite apple variety for pies, but today they are fairly hard to find and most people, including me, reach for Cortlands when baking pies. My grandparents used to wax poetic about Wolf River, their favorite variety in childhood. Ive never seen one. This all begs the question, why do varieties come and go and why are there so many out there? A wide range of varieties exist for most crops because our growing conditions vary widely and growers benefit when they choose the ones that grow best on their farms. Different varieties ripen at different times meaning careful selection can allow a grower to extend their season. Markets also vary, and more varieties allow the grower to cater to a wider range of niches. New varieties are continually being developed to adapt to changing pest problems and consumer preferences, but often its only growers and serious gardening enthusiasts who are aware of it and can list off their favorites by name. visor/fruitnotes/v72n1/a1.pdf) showed apple consumers are willing to try new varieties and are willing to travel to find the varieties they are looking for. The researchers also said this trend started in the mid 80s with the release of the Granny Smith.

New Hampshire's archery deer season began September 15. As of October 21, 2012, archers had taken a preliminary total of 1,943 deer. The season total is up significantly from this point in the season in 2010 and 2011 (years when the September archery season was bucks only) and is the second highest in the last nine years. Reported registrations in most counties have increased toward 2007 levels, when the states second highest deer total kill occurred, according to Gustafson. The archery deer season extends through December 15, except in WMU-A, where it closes on December 8. For a comparison by county (based on where deer were registered, not necessarily where harvested), visit http://www.huntnh.com/Huntin g/deer_hunt_take_October.htm.

roots, mud (from this weekend's rainstorms), and slippery ledges and we tired quickly as we picked up either end of the rig and carried it over the rougher sections. We stopped often to rest our shoulders, backs, and arms, and simply to catch our breath. At one point my friend turned to me and said, Are you okay? Yeah. Youre not going to have a heart attack on me, are you? I assured her I was okay and we continued following the everpatient Atticus up the mountain while carrying Will in his chariot.

The Adventures of Tom & Atticus

As I write this I realize that my life is now different than it was six months ago. Im a changed man. . . . a better man. Im more than I used to be and inspired in both head and heart. Friendship and love can do that to even the hardest most dubious man. So can helping another become who he was meant to be.

In the end we reached the mountaintop and I held Will in my arms as I have always held Atticus and that old, mostly blind and deaf dog sat there and sighed.

Its also now INSIDE PULL OUT one of our most memorable.

Will, an elderly mostly blind and deaf dog rescued from a kill shelter, reaches his first mountaintop...
But as I look at him today I realize I dont want him to go ever. And yet he is closing in on sixteen and the cruel truth is that the dogs we love only live a fraction of the time we do. When I look at Will and see how alive he is I remind myself that hes not getting younger, he just seems like he is. And whether he lasts another year or two, or simply another month or two, its all too fleeting. Hell take a piece of me with him when he goes and there will always be a bit of Will in my heart. (Just writing that has tears welling in my eyes for whenever we find a true friend, we never want to lose them.) At 2,400 feet, Pine Mountain is dwarfed by Mount Madison, the fifth highest peak in New England. And yet on one day a day I will always remember it was for a little elderly oncebroken and once-discarded dog, the top of the world. We brought him there, and in turn he brought us along for the journey, a journey that will touch us forever.

Inspiring Words for You!
Friends, Mother Theresa is someone that I still admire even though she is gone. She just seemed to understand how to live in this world. What is meant to go beyond yourself, to reach out to those dying and unwanted, and give them the dignity they recieved nowhere else. Here is a poem I have used in many a writing. We would be wise to heed these words. Mother Teresas Anyway Poem. People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best youve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway. God love you all.

In 1875 a railway system was developed that moved people to and from the Notch and a hotel. The Notch was mostly isolated and about twenty miles away from any other form of civilization, and with cars not being invented, carriages and the train were the only way to get about. The hotels owner had children that lived in the almost vacant valley and therefore had no about bodies of water and how school nearby. To fix the probto measure the acidity of a liq- lem the childrens mother had uid. them stand near the tracks in the morning with their arms out and The purpose of this trip was to educate the class, while still having fun and being outdoors. The trip also provided a great bonding experience for the chaperones and students. when the train passed by the conductors would grab the childrens arms and hoist them on board. The history of the Notch included a few other interesting stories as well. Overall this trip was highly beneficial to the minds of the Wentworth 7th and 8th grade.

the Titans -- was racing her, so, again apparently, but with very little in the way of denial, Patrick decided she'd deliver a message by spinning him out. It's hazardous for any driver to play with such fire, but it's absolutely a must for a driver who does decide to wreck his opponent to do so without wrecking, uh, herself.

The Perils of Kansas ... and Danica Patrick

Among my colleagues, it's popularly believed that I am at my best, particularly as a columnist, when, uh, "all hell breaks loose." Of course, my view isn't objective, and I think I do pretty well regardless of the circumstances. But ... I certainly missed a great opportunity when I went off gallivanting to Texas to play music, taking a few vacation days, and passed up the crashfest at Kansas Speedway on Oct. 21. I watched most of the race on a motel television set after listening to the early stages in bits and snatches on radio.

Oh, I wish I'd been there. It was apparently quite the scene. Via radio, Patrick's veteran crew chief, Greg Zipadelli, let her know in fairly blunt language that he didn't think much of her actions. When Patrick finally got around to talking about it, she did herself no favors. She has many virtues, but one of them isn't being capable of freely accepting blame for her various misadventures.

Patrick may prove me wrong, but her development as a stockcar racer is lagging. Danica Patrick (driving the No. 10 Impala) made a point to Landon Cassill (in the No. 83 Camry) during the Sprint Cup race at Kansas, only she got tangled in it and wrecked herself. When a great college football (John Clark/NASCAR This Week photo) player doesn't make it in the NFL, it really doesn't detract from what he accomplished earlier.

support for Windows XP is in April 18, 2014 after that date Microsoft no longer will provide updates or patches and software developers will no longer make programs to work on Windows XP, Now back to Windows 8 if you do decide to upgrade I recommend buying a new computer that will take advantage of the Windows 8 experience, what do I mean by that, Windows 8 is touch centric, all the new computers that have Windows 8 are touch screen enabled, same as your Smart phone or Tablet, you touch the computer screen to launch applications and browse the internet. You will still need a keyboard to type however the day of the mouse is coming to an end. There is also a new keyboard you must use with Windows 8; the keyboard has short cut keys for the charms bar, much like the Windows key you see on the keyboard; however you must enter the charms bar if you want to shut your computer off. There are other keyboard shortcuts you may use that I will put in future articles. Here are some deferences between Windows 7 and Windows 8 reported from hubpub.com is: Lightning Fast Boot Time The past history of Microsoft suggests that we shouldnt believe in their claims that Windows 8 will provide lightning fast boot time. They claimed it with Windows 7 too but failed miserably in bringing any considerable difference. It is for this reason that I didnt believe it at first when somebody told me that it took only 10 seconds for a 3 year old laptop to boot with Windows 8 (it took around 48 seconds to boot for a normal PC with Windows 7). However, it is the truth and it seems that Microsoft has finally made an improvement in boot time which is really exciting! Close applications automatically! I find this difference really interesting and would like to test it intensively as soon as I get the final copy of Windows 8. Traditionally, all versions of Windows (including Windows 7) left it up to the user to decide whether he wanted to close the running programs or not. In such a case, computer performance depended upon your actions and if you started using a lot of programs at once, your systems speed slowed down as you ran out on RAM. Windows 8 tries to help you in managing your programs and your systems performance by actually closing the applications and programs which you havent used for a certain timeperiod (no need to worry, the Windows will auto-save it before closing it) so as to help you in keeping your system speed intact. Dynamic Desktop Windows 8s desktop would be a lot different from the desktop of a Windows 7 user as Microsoft has replaced the normal shortcut icons with dynamic tiles. You can change their size and place similar applications around each other- or anything else that my suit you. The important thing to understand is

that these tiles just dont open up the application but also display information from them. For instance, if your RSS Feed has got something interesting, it will start to show on the tile right away!

Windows 7 will be around for many years it is reliable and more stable than Windows XP, and keep in mind end of life

without leaving our youngest and brightest drowning in debt. We need to respect the diversity of the web of life that nature itself provides checks and balances for. These are heavy thoughts that also contain the possibility of a brighter future for the generations to come. Hopefully, they will be proud of the efforts we make now on their behalf.

Keeping Each Other Well

by Elizabeth Terp RN

Autonomous Communities, Not Centralized Megalopolises

The successful wave of the future may well be found in what Jeremy Rifkin calls Autonomous Communities. Such communities are self-sustaining. Hydro Quebecs Plan Nord is an example of an outdated, archaic, centralized system of a huge corporation that subjects masses of people to a scheme that makes the corporation rich on the backs of customers they control. In this case, through control of electrical power. Canadas Sierra Club Director, John Bennett, in his presentation at PSU, said that many Canadians arent happy with Hydro Quebecs destruction of the environment. HQ has flooded an area in Quebec the size of Belgium. 10,000 caribou drowned when HQ opened the floodgates on a river crossing as part of their project. When Hydro Quebec tells Canadians theyll have cheap power because the US market they are targeting will be footing the big bill, this doesnt give Canadians back their environment, nor

does it give the native peoples back their culture and livelihood. And it will never bring cheap energy to Northeastern US. Europe is clearly struggling to come up with a better plan. Understandably, big corporations dont like Europes plans. Germany already has legislation in place that new buildings have to be self-sustaining. Germany has tired of centuries of war and is proactively getting its act together, a courageous task amidst a world that has not quite awakened to the fact that war has not brought peace, much less robust health to the world. Germany is taking new risks with their attention to a sustainable energy makeover and is providing needed education to meet future challenges. Here in the US, we continue to watch our government steal education funds and stir up wars that have nothing to do with defense. Weve become the biggest threat to the world, destroying countries and sending in corporations to bleed those same countries even more with restoration projects, and GMO seeds, pesticides and fertilizers that poison whats left of the

We dont have to continue on this tack; we can decide to pull together to make health a priority. Autonomous communities are health promoting communities. Instead of complaining that our young people arent prepared for technological jobs, we need to put money back into education so that our people can use new technologies to make our communities sustainable

Mystery Cat Q: I found a ceramic cat's head in a junk shop in Dallas, and I am not quite sure what it was used as. It obviously mounted on the wall, and the cat's mouth has a small hole. -- Betty, Spring Branch, Texas A: You have a string holder, an item often found in kitchens throughout the 1930s and '40s. The one in my grandmother's kitchen featured a monkey design. Values vary depending on style and condition, but often sell in the $20 to $45 range. *** Q: I recently inherited a collection of books from a distant relative who was a professor of literature at a major university. Although several of the books are extremely interesting, I am curious about one in particular: and Other "Prufock Observations" by T.S. Eliot. It was published in London in 1917 and appears to be a first edition. -- Susan, Helena, Mont. A: This was T.S. Eliot's first book. According to "Collected Books: The Guide to Values" by Allen and Patricia Ahearn (Putnam Press), your book, if it is, indeed, a first edition and in decent shape, is worth in the $8,500 to $10,000 range. *** Q: My grandmother was Canadian, and I found a commemorative plate in her estate. It was issued in 1927 and is the Canadian Jubilee issue. The identification mark indicates that it was made by Wedgwood and Sons and imported by Nerlich & Company of Toronto. Do you have any idea of how much it is worth? -- Stan, Providence, R.I. A It took a little effort to track down information about this plate. After searching through several guides, I finally found it referenced in "Bergesen's Price Guide of British Ceramics" by Victoria Bergesen, who indicates it is worth about $100 USD. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

In 2004, a 13-year-old boy in India ran away from home, declared that he was a Hindu holy man and founded a monastery.
