Bode Miller Returns To Cannon
Mountain For Bodefest On April 5th____
FREE
SUPPORTING ALL THAT IS LOCAL FOR OVER 24 YEARS!
Tom Sears Photo
When Bode Miller medaled at
the 2010 Olympics in
Vancouver, tickets for the
BodeFest Ski Challenge at
Cannon Mountain sold out in
just over one hour. Organizers
expect similar demand for this
year's BodeFest event, since
registrations are limited to 400
participants.
The annual event, to be held
Saturday, April 5th, benefits
The Turtle Ridge Foundation, a
nonprofit organization founded
by Olympic medalist and four-
time world skiing champion
and his family, to support inno-
vative and progressive adaptive
and youth athletic opportunities
in area communities.
"This year's event will be espe-
cially exciting, as Bode will
have recently returned from
Sochi where he took the bronze
medal in Men's Super G," said
Kyla Miller, Bode's older sister
and Executive Director of his
foundation. "Bode enjoys com-
ing back to Cannon every year
for the event - he's great with
the kids and it gives him an
opportunity to connect with the
next generation of skiers," con-
tinued Miller.
While the event is open to all
ages, portions are geared
towards younger skiers.

BodeFest events include "Kids
Ski with Bode," in which those
age 18 and younger can get up
close and ski with Bode on a
closed trail; "Fun Race," a run
through a race course against
the clock and Bode; and a pri-
vate autograph session with the
Olympian.
The BodeFest registration fee
of $49, plus lift ticket or season
pass, includes entry into all of
the events plus a BodeFest
goodie bag with a race bib, t-
shirt, lunch ticket and other
gear from the event's sponsors
including Cannon Mountain
and POC helmets. One hundred
percent of the registration fees
goes directly to The Turtle
Ridge Foundation.
The presenting sponsor for this
year's event is Positive Tracks.
"We're excited to have Positive
Tracks partner with us; they
have pledged to match all dol-
lars raised by those age 23 and
under," said Miller. Positive
Tracks is a national, youth-cen-
tric nonprofit that inspires
young people to get active and
give back using the global plat-
form of sport.
The event also includes a live
and silent auction on the after-
noon of the event, which is
open to participants and mem-
bers of the general public. "The
auction typically has some
spectacular items," remarked
Greg Keeler, Cannon's director
of marketing and sales. "You'll
see everything from vacations
to Cannon season passes to
some of Bode's personal
Olympic memorabilia," said
Keeler. But the signature auc-
tion item this year is sure to be
"First Tracks with Bode" an
exclusive Tram ride with up to
20 people to Cannon's summit,
then first tracks with Bode
down some of his favorite
Cannon trails on the morning of
Sunday, April 6.
Registration for BodeFest 2014
at Cannon Mountain opened on
Wednesday, March 5 at

CannonMt.com, and is limited
to the first 400 entrants.

Bermans Bits
by Dave Berman
Incessantly scouring the uni-
verse (and my back yard) for
the weird, the wacky, and the
stupid so you dont have to.
A blind (visually impaired to
the PC crowd) resident at a
Pasco County nudist community
has sued the resort association,
saying that shes been harassed
because her service dog exceeds
the communitys weight limits.
The Tampa Bay Times reports
that Paradise Lakes Resort resi-
dent Sharon Fowler has a black
Labrador named Laura who
weighs well over the communi-
tys threshold. Fowler says the
association has told her to only
walk the dog in specific areas
and that the dog must move out
of the way of pedestrians. Also,
shes been told her dog is out of
control. Fowler filed a civil
rights lawsuit in Pasco court.
The suit seeks monetary dam-
ages for mental anguish and
injunctive relief. Good!
I bought my wife a hamster skin
coat last week. Took her to the
fair last night, and it took me 3
hours to get her off the Ferris
wheel.
Just thinking: my high school
mascot was a tiger; my under-
graduate college, lions; my
graduate school, panthers;
where I worked for 31 years,
bobcats. Is there a theme there?
One of the reasons I sometimes
fall behind is that I am still fas-
cinated with my computer. I turn
it on and get lost inside. It could
be argued that all of the knowl-
edge ever is contained within...
as well as all of peoples opin-
ions. Slowing me down this
morning was an important ques-
tion: Is Pawn Stars Fake? Lots
of opinions out there; youll
have to sift through the sites and
make up your own mind.
If this column were like the
aforementioned show, heres
how it works: So you have a Bit.
What did you want to do with it?
Publish it? Okay. You see, there
are a lot of phony Bits out there,
and I am not sure about this one.
I have a buddy who knows
everything about Bits. Do you
mind if I give him a call? (He
shows up). So, Dave, what are
your concerns? Is it real? The
Buddy: Well, Bermans Bits
started in 1977 and has been
around in one form or another
ever since. Anything else? The
big question: Is it real? Well
(takes out magnifying glass), it
is credited, outrageous, and
doesnt make sense to me (how
people can do that), so... (dra-
matic pause), yes, its real - run
it!
The Bit: A Florida man pleaded
no contest to charges that he
made 2,927 harassing phone
calls to the sheriff, often using
obscene language, according to
geobeats. Keith Lukas, who
received probation, called the
Hillsborough County Sheriffs
Office up to 20 times a night in
the past 18 months. One of his
main complaints was about how
police treated him during prior
arrests, geobeats says. The 43-
year-old, who promised to leave
dispatchers alone, was ordered
not to call the Sheriffs Office
unless there was a real emer-
gency.

Crotched Mountain recently
had an intriguing offer: The
younger you are, the better the
lift ticket deal. Kids pay their
age for an all-day lift ticket. Its
simple. If youre 12 years old,
your lift ticket is only $12.
[WMUR]. So, uh, if I skied, that
doesnt sound like much of a
bargain.... Oh, wait, its for kids
6-18! Whew! I mean to pay my
age would bankrupt me!
This weeks Tip o the Keyboard
goes to Youngs Old Tyme
Service in Rumney. They have
been nothing but good to me. A
while back I went to another
shop and was given a $700
quote for work that had to be
done. Just to keep the shop
honest, I checked at Youngs.
They checked what had to be
done, and told me that in good
conscience they couldnt take
my money! Maybe in a year or
so the work might have to be
done, but certainly not then.
Thanks, folks.
Been seeing an ad for a new
reality show called Chrisley
Knows Best. Just from the ads,
I know one person who will
never be watching it (me). You
know how there are some people
you just look at....
Finally, planning ahead!
Officials at the Emu Plains
Correctional Center near
Sydney, Australia, just
announced that they had foiled a
planned escape by two female
inmates, ages 32 and 21, after
finding a 60-foot length of tied-
together sheets in a cell. The
officials said they were puzzled,
in that Emu Plains is a one-story
facility, enclosed, wrote the
Daily Telegraph, by a not par-
ticularly high fence. Sigh.
Later.

If you are an author, there are
many reasons to avoid the read-
er reviews on your Amazon
page. Most importantly, what
you've written is in the past, and
there's nothing you can do
about it now. You write some-
thing, send it out into the world,
and what the reader sees in it is
up to them. There's also the
comfortable truth that not every
book is for every writer. Three
of my favorite authors are
Howard Frank Mosher, John
Irving, and Tom Robbins, but
I've not liked everything they've
written. And lastly, it's human
tendency to pay more attention
to the negative than the posi-
tive, even if the positive far out-
weighs the opposite.
Recently, though, when a friend
informed me Following Atticus
attained the Amazon milestone
of receiving 1,000 reviews, I
went to the page and read a few
of the comments. The one that
caught my attention was not
negative, but rather a mediocre
review. The woman gave it
three stars out of five. She
wrote about how tough it was to
rate our story. She called it
"well written" and "an obvious-
ly loving story about a man and
his remarkable dog". But in her
opinion the Following Atticus
"was WAY too pantheistic for
me".
A smile spread across my face
as I read this, and again later
while contemplating her words
during a lengthy walk in the
frozen woods with Atticus
while we kept company with
the Swift River.
When a hardcore, Bible-toting
politician in Newburyport once
noted to me that I mentioned
God in my writing but didn't go
to church, she stated she was
confused and wanted to know
what religion I practiced. I told
her I didn't practice any reli-
gion. But she pushed, and she
pulled and she demanded an
answer. Finally, I conceded by
telling her while I refuse to
claim any religion, if I was
forced to choose one I'm closest
to being a pantheist.
Madame Politician then stalked
off in utter disgust, (to pray for
my soul, I imagined at the
time). A few days later her hus-
band approached me with the
same disgust in his face and
voice to say he couldnt believe
I told his wife that I worshipped
panties. And this, in part,
should tell you why I stopped
covering politicians and went to
the woods, where I feel a sense
of God in everything around
me. Including during a walk
along the Swift River with
Atticus by my side.
Earlier this year, when Pete
Seeger died, a popular quote of
his circulated and it sums up
how a lot of people who love
the White Mountains feel. He
said, "Every time I'm in the
woods I feel like I'm in church."
Can I get an "amen"?
There's is not a person who
loves the woods who cannot
relate to that sentiment. Many
of the prophets of old found
God while submerged in nature.
It was Emerson, who along
with his peers Thoreau and
Hawthorne knew this region
well, pointed out that we need
not rely on the thoughts of
prophets of old, but on our own
senses and sensibilities to see a
personal God. He wrote: "The
foregoing generations beheld
God and nature face to face;
we, through their eyes. Why
should not we also enjoy an
original relation to the uni-
verse? Why should not we
have a poetry and philosophy of
insight and not of tradition, and
a religion by revelation to us,
and not the history of theirs?"
And thats exactly how I feel
when walking an earthen path
deep in the Pemigewasset
Wilderness, standing atop lofty
Mount Lafayette while being
tossed to and fro by a strong
wind, sitting by a crystal clear
stream tucked away somewhere
in the magical Sandwich
Range, or encountering a bear
in our backyard.
Raised a Catholic, it took me a
while to trust my personal expe-
rience. Being a political
reporter, it took me a while to
see the same divisions that
bring out the petty in our politi-
cians, bring out the petty in var-
ious religions. I despise that
people use God as a reason to
argue or fight or to go to war
over. This has led to my deci-
sion to leave out the middle
man and find God on my own.
(At this point, I have to add that
I have no issue with the route
others choose as long as they
hopefully attempt to practice
the Golden Rule treat others
as you wish to be treated.)
While I have read the Bible, I
also read the poetry of
Wordsworth, Whitman, and
Oliver; the essays of Emerson,
Thoreau, and Muir, and most
importantly, I pay heed to my
own feelings as Atticus and I
continue to tramp through this
special place we call home.
How fortunate are we to have
our own Garden of Eden, rec-
ognized as such by many of the
great White Mountain Artists
who flocked here in the 1800s?
The White Mountain National
Forest takes up more land than
does all of Rhode Island. Thats
one heck of a big church.
Im not a theologian. If you
were to call me anything, you
could say I am a
nemophilist. I love the forest
for its enchantment and sereni-
ty, and everywhere I look in the
natural world I see and hear the
song of God. And that, by
rough definition, is a pantheist.
I like that I keep company with
the likes of Lao Tzu, Spinoza,
Heraclitus, Georg Hegel,
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,
Ludwig van Beethoven,
William Jennings Bryant,
Claude Debussy, Carl Jung,
Albert Einstein, D.H.
Lawrence, and Ansel Adams,
just to name a few who are
associated with pantheism.
More importantly, I like that I
can see the Divine anywhere,
and not just because I was con-
ditioned to.
Now, as the temperature climbs
into the twenties and that, in
combination with the lack of
wind, has it feeling even
warmer during this incredibly
frigid winter, youll have to
excuse me. Will (and his poor
ancient skin) needs his bath.
Later I will escape with Atticus
to church. Were off on an eight
mile woods walk today, where
every step will be a prayer, and
well be filled with the grace of
nature.

At Ammonoosuc Community
Health Services (ACHS), we
know that getting sick isnt
something that just happens
during normal business hours.
Therefore, we are pleased to
announce it has extended hours
at its Woodsville site providing
additional access to patients on
Thursday and Friday evenings
until 8 pm.
These extended hours are cov-
ered by a nurse practitioner and
are not meant to replace your
primary care doctor. If a patient
has a condition that needs to be
looked at right away but isn't a
true emergency - and it's after 5
pm, they will most likely be
seen right away.
ACHS-Woodsville is providing
convenient medical evaluation
and treatment of simple health
problems during these extended
hours. The attending family
nurse practitioner can diagnose
and treat common illnesses and
infections; treat minor wounds,
cuts, abrasions, sprains and skin
conditions; provide wellness
services including sports and
DOT physicals; and offer some
routine lab tests.
ACHS patients can be seen for
the following types of issues
during these extended hours:
coughs, sore throats, minor
fevers and colds, minor burns
and cuts, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea, eye irritations and ear
aches, minor allergic reactions,
headaches, animal bites, rashes
and stitches.
Patients who present them-
selves during these hours with
more severe medical issues may
be referred to another care set-
ting. If you have a medical
emergency or require immedi-
ate assistance due to an accident

It's time for politicians in
Concord to wake up. When it
comes to some of the basics in
life, they seemingly have no
clue what-so-ever.
With many options out there at
this point, they continue to put
the burden of higher taxes on
NH people. Now they want to
put a four cent gas tax onto an
already high gas price, stating
that it would bring $32 million
per year into the state. Sure,
pretty much all on the backs of
its residents.
They also don't have a clue
when it comes to mileage and
how prices truly affect the NH
people. First they state that the
average person drives 10,000
miles. In reality, most people
drive 17,000 miles or more.
They also state that it averages
out to only be about $16 per
year for the average person as
most people average 24 miles to
the gallon!! I am not quite sure
what average person or people
they are talking about, but most
people here in the North coun-
try of course drive four-wheel-
drive or SUVs or whatever the
case may be, and it cost them a
heck of a lot more than $16 per
year on average. In the real
world, my truck certainly does-
nt get 24 miles to the gallon,
maybe half of that. Maybe the
representatives making all of
our decisions drive a prius in
and around Concord, and to
and from meetings.
Also, they haven't taken into
consideration the price of
goods that will go up due to the
price of the gas tax increase.
Do they think that supply ven-
dors are simply going to eat the
cost for their deliveries?
So when the politicians think
it's just going to be four cents
per gallon and that's it, in the
real world, they are totally
incorrect.
It seems no matter what con-
cord does, it's always on the
backs of the New Hampshire
residents. There are other
options out there at this point.
They keep turning down the
gambling idea. Not only an idea
that would bring more than $32
million into the state per year,
but would certainly allow non-
residents of NH to help put into
the pot also.
Then there's the legalization of
marijuana. It seems to be
inevitable in the future, so why
not be ahead of the curve and
just get it done? Whether you
agree with it, like it or not,
Washington is already thinking
and acting on the legalization
of certain amounts of marijua-
na in the USA. Its simply a mat-
ter of time. Why not do what
Colorado did and get ahead of
the curve and take in all that
wonderful money that people
are being taxed for purchasing
the stuff...
Personally, I think if we can sell
alcohol on our state highways,
we can certainly legalize cer-
tain amounts of marijuana and
make boat loads of money from
it. Colorado is making tons of
money to put back into the state
at this point in time. They are
placing money in all kinds of
funds, including education and
roadway/bridge repairs. Lets
see, $32 million in a gas tax or
$180 million that colorado has
already made? Hmmm....
I think that our politicians in
Concord and across the globe
need to start thinking in light of
today's day and age, not from
the past hundred years. Like it
or not, people have changed,
times have changed and the
world has certainly changed.
Even in my lifetime.
Let's move on, let's grow, let's
get with the program.
Ahhh yes, nobody asked, just
my opinion!!!! We all have
them.

The Bath Public Library has
received a grant from the New
Hampshire Humanities Council
to present Adam Boyce of West
Windsor VT, Old Time Rules
Will Prevail: The Fiddle
Contest in New Hampshire and
New England on Saturday,
March 29th at 7:00 pm at the
Bath Village School.
Fiddle contests evolved from
being endurance events to play-
ing a set number of tunes
judged by certain specific crite-
ria. Whether large or small, fid-
dle contests tried to show who
was the best, as well as pre-
serve old-time fiddling and
raise money for local organiza-
tions. In recent years, the fiddle
contest has declined signifi-
cantly in New Hampshire and
New England due to cultural
changes and financial viability.
The greatest legacies of the fid-
dle contest are the recordings
made during live competition, a
sampling of which is played
during the presentation, which
the audience gets to judge their
favorites. There is also some
live fiddling by the presenter.
This program is free and open
to the public.
For more information, contact
the Bath Public Library at 747-
3372 or e-mail
bathlibrary@together.net.
Dear Barack and John,
I am Bode Miller's father and
have written to you before
about Keystone XL and climate
change.
I hope that in this brief note, I
can help you to see this issue
with wider eyes.
It is imperative that we tran-
scend "national" and "short-
sightedness" in our interests.
Native American's had a long
term interest expressed by the
term-seventh generation.
When the issues surrounding
Keystone are looked at through
the lens of seven future genera-
tions, who care about other
species besides our own, the
rejection of the Keystone XL is
a "no-brainer".
It is sickening that it is even
considered debateable.
Thank you,
Woody Miller

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, Do you need to forgive
someone today?! Well, get to it and
forgive them! Let it go! As it is not really
for the other person so much as it is for you to
forgive! There is a freedom in forgiveness. Get rid
of all that junk that holding unforgiveness holds
you in! Cut that chord! When Peter asks Jesus,
how many times he should forgive.. this is what
He tells him, Matthew 18:21-22 (The Parable of
the Unforgiving Servant)Then Peter came to Him
and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin
against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven
times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, up
to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Jesus was saying, it's not so much about the
number of how many times you forgive him/her. It
is that you keep forgiving no matter how many
times the wrong has been done to you. Because
that is what Jesus has done for you, when you
repent and ask for His forgivenss. God bless you.

Local Crossroad Academy Students Inducted Into the
American Junior Academy Of Science_____________________
Campton Area Resource Center Thrift
Shop To Hold Winter Clearance________
Ethan Adner of Hanover NH, left, and Brandon Pettee of
Warren, NH, right, were two of the four local Crossroad
Academy students inducted into the American Junior
Academy of Sciences (AJAS) recently in Chicago. See story
this page. - Elaine Faletra Photo
Ethan Adner of Hanover, NH;
Gabrielle Curtis of Lyme, NH;
Brandon Pettee of Warren, NH;
and Chase Ryan-Embry of
Quechee, VT were inducted
into the American Junior
Academy of Sciences (AJAS)
in Chicago this February. The
American Junior Academy of
Science is a national honor
society for American students
from 47 state academies who
have completed exemplary
original scientific research proj-
ects while attending secondary
school. This is the only
research-based honor society
for pre-college scientists in the
United States. Each state
Academy of Science nominates
their top middle or high school
science researchers and these
students, along with their teach-
ers, are invited to the American
Association of the
Advancement of Science
(AAAS) annual conference to
present their research.
AJAS has the support of world-
renown leaders in various fields
of science, technology, engi-
neering and mathematics. They
can be viewed at:
ht t p: / / www. academi es of -
science.org/friends
Our four students presented
their research to scientists from
around the world on the repop-
ulation to the wild of three
species of endangered ladys
slippers. This has required the
students to persevere through
four years of demanding exper-
iments for growing the plants in
sterile tissue culture and finding
efficient methods of transplant-
ing the approximately 5,000
seedlings from sterile culture
medium to soil and eventually
to wild sanctuaries. Many of
the early experiments failed, as
is invariably the case in authen-
tic science. We congratulate
and commend these students for
their diligence and commitment
to improving and enriching the
environment for all of us
through their efforts in helping
to prevent the extinction of
these wonderful flowering
plants.
All four students attend
Crossroads Academy in Lyme,
NH.
The Campton Area Resource
Center Thrift Shop is holding a
Winter Clearance Sale that will
continue through the end of the
month of March. The clearance
items will include all winter
clothing merchandise as well as
shoes. When you arrive for the
sale be sure to pick up your
shopping bag. Shopping bags
for this event will be provided
at the Thrift Shop. One full bag
of merchandise will cost $5.
The sale will run during regular
shop hours.
Be sure to look through your
winter wardrobe and shoes.
Keep an eye out for that cloth-
ing item or a replacement for
that old pair of shoes that wont
see another winter season. This
would also be a good time to
look for items for the children
for next season. It also might be
a good time to pick up that
warm winter coat that you
havent had quite enough
money to purchase.
This would also be a good time
to come check out the Thrift
Shop. It is a great hidden com-
munity resource for residents in
the Campton, Thornton,
Waterville Valley and Ellsworth
area. The Thrift Shop is a local
outlet for low cost current fash-
ions that look like they came off
the latest fashion runway. The
Thrift Shop is but one of the
programs that the Resource
Center offers. We offer a Food
Pantry as well. Monetary dona-
tions in any amount are very
much needed and would be
greatly appreciated. Donations
can be dropped off at the Thrift
Shop during regular shop hours.
The Resource Center has under
its umbrella of programs the
Got Lunch program which is
about to embark on its second
year. This program packs tote
bags full of foodstuffs for fami-
lies enrolled in the program to
last a full week. This program
starts shortly after school lets
out for the summer and contin-
ues until the school doors open
in the fall.
The Shop is open Tuesday-
Saturday beginning at 10 AM.
We are located behind
Handyman Hardware in
Campton. Come check us out.

Littleton Rotary Seeking Donations For 49th Annual
Scholorship Fund Auction_________________________________
Doctors at the Johns Hopkins University
recently published the results of a research study
on hearing loss that everyone over 50 needs to
know. Even if your hearing is perfect!
The study
1
showed that older adults who had
some type of problem with hearing were:

32 percent more likely to be admitted to the


hospital

36 percent more likely to have longer


stretches of illness or injury (lasting more
than 10 days)

57 percent more likely to have deep episodes


of stress, depression or bad mood (for more
than 10 days)
And since hearing loss often happens very
slowly over time, the last person to notice your
hearing loss is...you!
Just like visiting grandparents saying how big
the grandkids are getting, but the parents dont
really notice any difference because theyre
around the kids all the time. Its the same way
when you slowly lose your hearing.
On top of that, the Johns Hopkins doctors say
that because hearing loss may lead to other serious
issues, it can put more of a strain on your health
care resources. And with all the craziness going
on with health care these days, it can be a real
blessing any time you can cut through the mustard
to stay one step ahead of illness (and two steps
ahead of long hospital stays!) Plus
It can be something like wax buildup or an
infection. And since its always better to be safe
than sorry, we want to offer our help.
As part of our community outreach program, we
at Sound Advice Hearing recently sent out strict
instructions to the licensed professionals and staff
at all of our local area clinics. We will be offering
FULL hearing health examinations completely
free of charge for anyone who requests one during
the month of March.
Experience shows that its worth getting a
comprehensive hearing exam every year or two
even if youre pretty sure nothing is wrong. This
is because the exam may reveal early warning
signs of a more serious issue!
Many doctors and health practitioners also agree
that in addition to staying on top of the normal stuff
like your blood pressure and cholesterol, having
your hearing checked regularly is important to
your overall health.
All 35 of our clinics throughout New England
have been preparing to conduct these free hearing
examinations for you and for any friends or family
you care to tell. But, theres a catch (Hey, there
had to be a catch, right?)
This one is pretty painless. We just need you to
make a quick phone call and setup an appointment
for your exam. We ask this because our clinics can
get pretty busy at times and if you just show up,
theres a good chance you might have to wait for
an hour or two. And nobody wants that.
All you need to do next is just give us a call at
603-536-4880 and ask for extension 6313.
By the way, when we say this hearing exam
is free, we mean absolutely FREE: Free of cost,
Free of hassles, Free of any pressure or obligation
and Free of slick salesman trying to sell you stuff
you dont need!
So, give us a quick call at 603-536-4880 and
make sure to ask for extension 6313 and one of
our friendly folks will take just a few minutes to
schedule your exam for whatever time works best
for you.
P.S. Please call as soon as possible because we
are limited in how many of these exams we can
do during March.
P.P.S. Also, if you care to tell a friend or family
member, please ask them to use the same extension
number when they call in. Thanks!

Members of the Littleton
Rotary Club are again this year
asking local businesses and
individuals to donate items to
be sold in the club's upcoming
online and live auctions. The
proceeds from the club's annual
auctions are applied to fund its
scholarship program for local
students.
"Our auctions enable us to pro-
vide scholarships to students
graduating from local high
schools," said auction co-chair
Chad Stearns. "In addition, we
make grants to local residents
pursuing advanced education
and training to improve their
employment opportunities."
The Littleton Rotary Club auc-
tions over the past 48 years
have enabled the club to make
more than $500,000 in scholar-
ship grants. Last year the club
awarded a total of $24,000 to
eighteen students at five local
schools.
Auction items will this year be
sold both in the club's online
auction running April 28th
through May 7th and at the
club's live auction event at the
Maplewood Country Club in
Bethlehem on the evening of
Friday, May 9th.
Donations to the Littleton
Rotary's scholarship auctions
are solicited by teams of the
club's fifty-seven members.
The club will honor at its May
9th live event the captain and
other members of the team that
achieves the most donations to
the auction.
"Although I hope our team
comes out ahead in soliciting
donations," said club member
Veronica Francis, "everybody
will be a winner if our club has
a good year raising the needed
scholarship funds."
Littleton Rotary welcomes
donations to its auctions of
items of almost every type and
description. In past years,
these have included heating oil,
getaway stays, tools, fine din-
ing experiences, legal services,
home repairs, sports equipment,
and outdoor adventures.
Businesses and individuals
wishing to support the club's
scholarship efforts may also do
so by making cash contribu-
tions to the Littleton Rotary
Charitable Fund.
"Contributing items to our auc-
tion is a great way for local
businesses to support a very
good local cause that benefits
promising young people," said
auction co-chair Kim Shillieto.
"It's also a unique opportunity
to highlight the products and
services of local businesses by
exposing them to hundreds of
people who participate in our
online and live auctions."
Businesses and individuals
wishing to make contributions
or get more information regard-
ing this year's Littleton Rotary
Club Auction can contact any
club member or go to the club's
special auction website
www.littletonrotaryauction.co
m. Anyone with questions can
also contact the club by e-mail
a t
auction@littletonnhrotary.org
or by calling (603) 444-0344.
The Littleton Rotary Club pro-
vides service to the community
through its support of programs
for youth, scholarships, and
other critical issues that impact
local communities, as well as
Rotary International programs
throughout the world. More
information about Littleton
Rotary and possible member-
ship can be found at its website

What We Dont Know
Can Harm Us.
When considering the cost of
food/groceries, we really have to
add in the cost of medical treat-
ment for conditions caused by
our food choices. Food raised or
produced in environmentally
friendly conditions is, in my
experience, safer and more eco-
nomical in the long run.
Today, it is difficult to know
what is in the food, much less
what is known to be harmful to
human health. Food industry
whistle blowers get the same
treatment that is laid on political
whistle blowers. Here is a cur-
rent example in the news.
Tyron Hayes, Professor of
Integrated Biology at
UCBerkeley, was hired by the
pharmaceutical company,
Syngenta, to research the effect
of the herbicide/pesticide
Atrazine on frogs. Hayes is a
reputable researcher who has
been studying frogs for many
years. Hayes found that Atrazine
caused sexual abnormalities in
frogs: males started developing
ovaries and laying eggs. Other
researchers continued to expand
his research and found that
human babies exposed to
Atrazine do not develop normal-
ly sexually. Atrazine causes the
body to make too much estro-
gen, which promotes breast can-
cer. Syngenta also makes a
chemical that blocks estrogen
production and is used to pre-
vent cancer. This is obviously a
nice arrangement for Syngenta.
Syngenta did not like Hayess
findings and asked him to do a
repeat study and manipulate the
data. Hayes refused and
resigned from the project.
Then, Syngenta tried to pur-
chase the original data so that it
would not be published.
Hayes published the data in the
Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, Nature,
and Environmental Health
Perspectives (a NIH publica-
tion).
Next, Syngenta hired scientists
to refute Hayess data and dis-
credit him as a scientist.
Syngenta reps passed out dis-
crediting flyers at his lectures,
and whispered threats in Hayess
ear that he could be lynched or
his wife and daughter could be
sexually abused.
If we want to keep each other
well, we need to be alert to what
threatens our health. Given the
details of consequences to
whistleblowers like Hayes,
Silkwood, Asange, Snowdon,
Manning, and Greenwald, these
scare tactics are designed to let
corporations reign at the
expense of the rest of us.
Significantly, while some uni-
versities, anxious to obtain
research money, actually fire
whistle blowers, UCBerkeley is
made of finer stuff and gives us
hope that the tide may be turn-
ing.
If we want to be proactive about
aquiring safe food, its time to be
thinking about creating our own
gardens, creating our own com-
post by recycling kitchen scraps,
contacting our local farmers at
farmstands we frequent in sum-
mer, freezing or preserving our
own food, community garden
sharing, or signing up for a
Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) membership.
Supermarkets are slowly
expanding their organic produce
offerings based on how much
we buy on a regular basis and
what we request.
There are fringe benefits to cul-
tivating a garden, starting small
and seeing what works. Gardens
allow us to stay connected to the
fresh life within the soil and all
the worms, frogs, bees, butter-
flies and other life forms, our-
selves included. Together we
can promote and claim healthy
gardens of foods and flowers
that nourish.

In Hot Water
Soot smudged on our hands,
perspiration from cutting wood,
the dirt of living, working, being
for a few days or more between
baths...once were dirty, were
ready to get clean. Without a
faucet, the process of a warm
bath in winter takes some plan-
ning, so its not something we do
each day. But oh my how
refreshing that makes it!
It starts outside, of all places,
with the shovel and a big pot.
Be it fresh powder or icy snow-
balls, as much snow as possible
is condensed into our largest pot.
This is carried inside, and placed
atop the hot woodstove. Time
and heat turn the snow into
water; as regular guests to this
most basic of alchemy, Ryan and
I await the transformation while
reading, writing, splitting kin-
dling, carrying in wood, talking,
sharing a meal - whatever task
or hobby is on the docket at the
moment.
In due time the pot once chock
full of snow begins to rock back
and forth on its warped bottom,
now holding a few inches of
water. We test it until its just
right - not scalding, not luke-
warm.
Bath time.
Towel, soap, wash cloth, clean
clothes...everything is laid out
alongside the wash basin while
we stand beside the stove.
Theres nothing like a crackling
fire to keep off the chill of a win-
ter washing. Depending on the
goal, the set-up is a little differ-
ent. When washing my long
hair, I prefer dunking my head
into the pot of water, akin to an
aggressive game of bobbing-for-
apples. Otherwise, hot water is
poured into our ceramic wash
basin. From there, a proper
sponge bath gets us squeaky
clean, at least for a little while.
Clean clothes are donned, and
our towel and wash cloth are
hung on the ladder to the loft to
dry. The wash basin or pot,
depending on which was used, is
scrubbed, rinsed, and dried. We
carry and dump all bath water
outdoors; a divot in the snow-
drifts is the clue to where our
rock sump pit is located.
We relish the smoothness of our
skin, the invigorating feeling of
clean pores and fresh layers of
long johns. Ryan and I insist to
each other that a few days of
work and grime is the ideal
means to appreciating cleanli-
ness! What is the value of
clean? To a certain degree, we
relish dirt as evidence that we
value physical labor and the
implication that we are hard
workers who meet our work
willingly. Without the opportu-
nity to feel a little dirt on our
skin, might not the routine of
creating a bath change from
refreshing to tedious? I suppose
many would suggest thats an
unnecessary exaggeration, but
we dont. It is our own personal
yin and yang: the ability to get
grimy warrants and gives pur-
pose to the process of becoming
clean. Without one, what is the
other?
March is here, which means time
to prune your fruit trees, berry
bushes, and ornamental shrubs.

Proponents of synthetic biology tout its potential for bringing
about great advances in medicine, energy and cheaper foods.
But health advocates worry that the risks to health and the
environment may be too great. Pictured: a researcher using

Beekeepers Meeting Slated___________
Dear EarthTalk: Should those
of us who care about our health
and the planet be concerned
about the new trend in genetic
engineering called synthetic
biology? - -
Chrissie Wilkins, Bern, NC
Synthetic biology (or syn-
bio) refers to the design and
fabrication of novel biological
parts, devices and systems that
do not otherwise occur in
nature. Many see it as an
extreme version of genetic
engineering (GE). But unlike
GE, whereby genetic informa-
tion with certain desirable traits
is inserted from one organism
into another, synbio uses com-
puters and chemicals to create
entirely new organisms.
Proponents of synbio, which
include familiar players such as
Cargill, BP, Chevron and Du
Pont, tout its potential benefits.
According to the Synthetic
Biology Engineering Research
Center (SYNBERC), a consor-
tium of leading U.S. researchers
in the field, some promising
applications of synthetic biolo-
gy include alternatives to rub-
ber for tires, tumor-seeking
microbes for treating cancer,
and photosynthetic energy sys-
tems. Other potential applica-
tions include using synbio to
detect and remove environmen-
tal contaminants, monitor and
respond to disease and develop
new drugs and vaccines.
While these and other applica-
tions may not be widely avail-
able for years, synthetic biology
is already in use for creating
food additives that will start to
show up in products on grocery
shelves later this year.
Switzerland-based Evolva is
using synthetic biology tech-
niques to produce alternatives
to resveratrol, stevia, saffron
and vanilla. The companys
synthetic vanillin is slated to
go into many foods as a cheap-
er and limitless version of real
vanilla flavor. But many health
advocates are outraged that
such a product will be available
to consumers without more
research into potential dangers
and without any warnings or
labeling to let consumers know
they are eating organisms
designed and brought to life in a
lab.
This is the first major use of a
synbio ingredient in food, and
dozens of other flavors and
food additives are in the
pipeline, so synbio vanilla
could set a dangerous precedent
for synthetic genetically engi-
neered ingredients to sneak into
our food supply and be labeled
as natural, reports Friends of
the Earth (FoE), a leading envi-
ronmental group. Synthetic
biology vanillin poses several
human health, environmental
and economic concerns for con-
sumers, food companies and
other stakeholders.
For example, FoE worries that
synbio vanilla (and eventually
other synthetic biology addi-
tives) could exacerbate rainfor-
est destruction while harming
sustainable farmers and poor
communities around the world.
Synbio vanillacould dis-
place the demand for the natural
vanilla market, reports FoE.
Without the natural vanilla
market adding economic value
to the rainforest in these
regions, these last standing
rainforests will not be pro-tect-
ed from competing agricultural
markets such as soy, palm oil
and sugar. Critics of synbio
also worry that releasing syn-
thetic life into the environment,
whether done intentionally or
accidentally, could have
adverse effects on our ecosys-
tems.
Despite these risks, could the
rewards of embracing synthetic
biology be great? Could it help
us deal with some of the tough
issues of climate change, pollu-
tion and world hunger? Given
that the genie is already out of
the bottle, perhaps only time
will tell.

Tek Talk...With Eli Heath
Of Paige Computer Services
Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer
Q: My computer has Windows
XP and I was told Microsoft
will be ending support on April
8, 2014, what can I do to secure
to make my computer secure.
A: Microsoft will release the
final set of security updates for
Windows XP on April 8, 2014.
After that date I do not recom-
mend connecting your
Windows XP computer to the
internet. I am sure the hackers
are looking for security holes in
the Windows XP operating sys-
tem knowing it will never get
fixed by Microsoft after April 8.
What can you do to protect your
XP machine? Here are a few
tips.
Install another operating system
such as Linux on your comput-
er to go on the internet. When
you install Linux it will give
you the option to be able to duel
boot your computer, what I
mean by that is when you turn
on your computer you will have
a choice to boot into Windows
XP or Linux. I would use
Windows XP to run the win-
dows programs I like but when
I want to check my email or
browse the internet I would
restart my computer and boot
into Linux which is more
secure. Linux operating system
is free you can download it here
at http://www.ubuntu.com/ this
is a version I recommend.
If you would like to upgrade
your computer to another ver-
sion of Windows you can pur-
chase a OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) ver-
sion of Windows 7 from your
local computer shop or on the
internet. Before you upgrade
your computer to Windows 7
first run the Windows 7
Upgrade Adviser program from
Microsoft you can download it
here at
http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=2
0. This program will check the
software installed on your XP
Computer and hardware such as
video card and memory to see if
you will have any issues
installing and running Windows
7 on your Windows XP com-
puter. I would consider the cost
of upgrading to Windows 7, it
require at least 2 GB of memo-
ry to run properly plus the cost
ofpurchase of Windows 7 for
$99.00 and up, also the age of
the computer must be consid-
ered. You can still purchase a

Tuesday, March 4, 2014, was
the publication date for the 9th
edition of Roadfood: It can be
ordered now via
Roadfood.com.
From the introduction: "It was
almost 40 years ago that we
coined the term Roadfood to
describe local eats around
America. At the time, we felt
like crusaders, trying to get
people to pay attention to what
we considered a neglected
national treasure: regional
food."
Regional American food is no
longer obscure; in fact, it has
become a national passion; and
Roadfood the book is what
started it all.
The new edition lists 900 desti-
nation restaurants around
America, including 200 that
were not in the previous edi-
tion, as well as a "ROADFOOD
HONOR ROLL" of the 100
most essential Roadfood restau-
rants around the country. Polly's
Pancake Parlor of Sugar Hill,
NH is honored to be included in
the "Roadfood Honor Roll".
How many have you enjoyed?
Roadfood is available in an
electronic Kindle edition, but
we think there is something
special about the big book itself
especially after it gets
dripped-on, dog-eared, and
stained from spills of gravy,
melting ice cream, and BBQ
sauce! (Consider also getting
cooks, waiters, and staff at each
Roadfood restaurant to sign
your book as you travel.)
Polly's Pancake Parlor, Inc.
will open for it's 76th season
starting March 15, 2014 when
they will be open weekends
only. Starting April 4th they
will be open Friday,Saturday,
and Sunday's. Polly's will be
open daily starting May 9th
