BY NANCY SILLIMAN The News Review WINDSOR, VT -If you are wondering what your children can do during April Spring vacation, this year, which is from April 16-20, how about having them delve into the arts during a weeklong program called “Spring Vacation Art Camp”? As budding artists, children between eight and twelve years old, will have the opportunity to have hands on experience in artistic areas such as theater and craft making, drawing and painting among other artistic pursuits. Their mornings will be spent with Redel Frometa, teacher, dance instructor and artist and Nancy Silliman, Nuance Gallery owner, teacher, painter and playwright, learning the basics about how to design costumes, act, write a play and design background scenery. On Friday, April 20, a children’s play written in two-acts by Nancy Silliman and Redel Frometa, called “The Magic Door” will be performed by the children for their parents and friends at 2 p.m. at the Windsor Recreation Center. In the afternoons, Nancy Silliman and Pam Miller with the assistance of her 13-yearold son, Rex will be on hand with craft making. Michael Quinn, a retired science teacher will talk about his 300 million year old fossils that will be on view during the workshop and the children will do rubbings on paper from the fossils. Possible crafts include: constructing a simple reed basket; needle felting with wool or alpaca fibers, doing landscape pictures

from these fibers, and experimenting with ways to make prints. Artwork by the children, who participate in the art camp, will be on display the following week at Nuance Gallery 85 Main Street, Windsor, Vermont. All the instructors including Redel Frometa, Pam Miller, Nancy Silliman and Michael Quinn have many years of experience teaching children in local schools. It is their hope that the children will be proud with the results of their creative activities and time well spent. The children will bring their own brown bag lunch every day and eat during a supervised lunch break, which will be another opportunity to make new friends while sharing their creative ideas. This event is co-sponsored by Nuance Gallery and the Windsor Recreation Department, in Windsor, Vermont and is being held daily from April 16 to April 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Windsor Recreation Center, 29 Union Street, Windsor, Vermont. The Windsor Recreation Center offers many activities for all ages and is affiliated with the Vermont Parks and Recreation Association and the Upper Valley Recreation Association. The fee for the entire week is $100, payable in advance. Scholarships are available by contacting the Recreation Director. For further info or to register, please call Harry Ladue, Director of the Windsor Recreation Department at 802674-6783 by April 6.

Second Annual Dari Joy Baseball Contest Wild Women of Windsor Projects BY JULIA LLOYD WRIGHT
BY BILL MURpHY The News Review REGION -For the second straight year The Shopper/Vermont Journal and News Review newspapers will team with The Dari Joy in Bellows Falls to sponsor a Major League Baseball Prediction contest. Readers of these newspapers will have an opportunity to pick their favorites from top to bottom in each of baseball’s six divisions and compete with many other readers throughout the region. Last year, the contest finished with three readers in the winners’ circle. The top prizes went to Dan Budd of Newport, NH; Ian Clark of Weathersfield, VT and Mike O’Brien of North Walpole, NH in that order. Maybe you will be the one to come out on top this season. The St. Louis Cardinals shocked the baseball world in 2011 by capturing the World Series and they also shocked the more than two-dozen participants in the poll. Not one competitor tabbed the Cards as the top team. The three participants who tally the most points in the contest will receive a $30 gift certificate from the Dari Joy. If any of those three finishers accumulate a higher number of points than both Rich Demuzio, Dari Joy owner and Bill Murphy, sports editor of these papers, their gift certificate will be upped to $50. All three winners from 2011 defeated both Demuzio and Murphy. One may enter the 2012 contest by either e-mailing their picks to bmurphy@vermontjournal.com or mailing them to: The Shopper, PO Box 308, Bellows Falls, Vt. 05101, noting below the address: Attention Baseball Contest. All e-mails must be sent by 11:59 p.m. Monday evening April 9, 2012 or postmarked by that date. In making your picks you should: 1) List the order of finish (top to bottom) in each of baseball six divisions, 2) Note two wild card teams in each league, 3) Pick the World Series champion, 4) Pick the American and National League champions. HOW POINTS WILL BE AWARDED: 1) 7 Points for choosing the World Series champion (you will get 2 points if your champion selection is in the World Series but loses) 2) 4 Points for choosing the World Series loser (you will get 2 points if your champion selection is in the World Series and wins) 3) 3 Points for each division champion selected (you will get 1 point if a division champion choice makes the post season as a wild card) 4) 1 Point for wild card choices who are in the play-offs (either as a wild card or a division winner) TIEBREAKERS- Ties will be broken from last place up, thus everyone of your choices is important. If you tie for one of the top three spots, the tie will be decided by how many last place teams you choose correctly. If things are still tied after last place consideration, you move on to next to last place and continue up the ladder as necessary. ONLY ONE ENTRY ALLOWED PER PERSON- Multiple entries would disqualify you. Include contact information with your entry (a mailing or e-mail address, plus a phone number if you wish). BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT PICKS SHOULD LOOK LIKE: AL EAST Boston New York (Wild card) Tampa Bay (Wild card) Toronto Baltimore AL CENTRAL Detroit Chicago Minnesota Cleveland Kansas City AL WEST Texas Los Angeles Oakland Seattle NL EAST Philadelphia Atlanta (Wild card) Florida New York Washington NL CENTRAL St. Louis Cincinnati (Wild card) Milwaukee Chicago Pittsburgh Houston NL WEST San Francisco Colorado Los Angeles San Diego Arizona AL CHAMP: Boston NL CHAMP: Philadelphia WORLD SERIES CHAMP: Philadelphia (POINT OF EMPHASIS: Remember your league champion could be a wild card team). The picks above were actually Bill Murphy’s picks from a year ago with the exception of the addition of a second wild card team in each league which baseball has decided to include in the 2012 baseball season. Each year one knows, when the Dari Joy opens its doors for Ice Cream and meals and the Red Sox open their regular season that spring has arrived. The Red Sox open in Detroit against Justin Verlander and the Tigers on April 5 and the Dari Joy will open for business on Saturday, April 7 at 11 a.m. Spring is just around the corner.

QUECHEE, VT –On Friday, VINS staff donned heavy-duty welding gloves and tackled golden eagles. Sounds a little weird, but it’s all in the name of health! Twice a year, all of our exhibit raptors -- from screech owls to turkey vultures -- are taken out of their enclosures and given a full health exam. We check their eyes, ears, throats, mouths, wings, feet and everything in between. We weigh them, provide appropriate vaccinations and make sure their original injury sites are stable -- whether it’s a missing eye or an old fracture in a wing. While we love to handle all of the birds we have here on exhibit, the golden eagles always present a special challenge. Getting up close and personal with a 12-pound raptor who’s got talons that could pierce your
skull always makes for a memorable day. It’s an honor for us to be in the presence of such powerful creatures, and we are proud to provide homes for these non-releasable raptors. 8:55 a.m. and walks from 9 o 10 a.m. You can walk over to the CCBA Gym. There is a $1.00 charge for non-members. If you walk for one hour, 13 laps, that will equal one mile. You must have a waiver signed by a Doctor to walk. Need help with taxes? The AARP Tax Assistance Program will begin on Wednesday, February 8, and continue through Wednesday, April 11, at the Upper Valley Senior Center. Please bring with you a valid picture ID for taxpayer and spouse, Social Security card, copies of income tax you filed last year, proof of all income, W-2 forms, 1099R forms, statements for pensions and annuities, Social Security received, interest and dividend income, state rebates and prebates, IRA income and copy of your 2010 property tax bill. Please call the center to schedule an appointment. Available times are 8:30 a.m. through 1:30 p.m. 603448-4213. Learn To Eat Healthy. There will be a lunch at the Upper Valley Senior Center Featuring Cooking With Kendal Of Hanover, NH. on Wednesday, March 28. Learn how to plan meals, eat healthy on a budget, shop wisely and sources of protein. The program starts at 11:15 a.m. and lunch is at noon, $3.60 and over, Under 60, $7.50. Bring a friend, age 60 and up who has never been to the center, for lunch at the Upper Valley Senior Center and you both will receive a certificate for your next meal free. Drive and Dine in NH. Experience some good old fashion family cooking on Monday April 2, at the Plain Jane’s Diner in Rumney, NH.

Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall Coming To Springfield, VT
field at Riverside Park, Springfield, VT on a 24 hour basis from July 12 to July 16. Coordinator for the Moving Wall, Ronald Walker, remarks that this is a huge undertaking requiring the assistance of local organizations and volunteers to assist with not only the construction of the exhibit, but manning the exhibit 24/7, landscaping the site and assisting with raising the necessary funds required to cover the costs associated with this project. The cost of this project is expected to be $8000. Upon arrival, Mr. Walker is looking for many volunteers to help set up the exhibit and man it 24/7. Springfield is honored to be able to host The Moving Wall and give people from far and near the opportunity to see the memorial. This moving exhibit offers Veterans and families the opportunity to view the names of their loved ones and to express their thanks for the sacrifices of these men and women. When one thinks about it, two to three million people visit the Wall every year in Washington. There are ten or twenty times that many people, who, for whatever reason, will never be

SPRINGFIELD, VT -The “Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall” is coming to Springfield, Vt., on July 12 thru July 16, 2012 at the Riverside Middle School’s Brown Football Field. Co-Sponsors of this exhibit are the Springfield VFW and Vietnam Veterans Association of Chester, Vt.
“The Moving Wall” the half-size replica of the Washington, DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial was developed by Vietnam veteran, John Devitt. After viewing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC., Devitt felt compelled to build “The Moving Wall” with the aid of Norris Shears, Gerry
Haver and other Vietnam veterans so others could experience the power of the exhibit. The Moving Wall memorial went on display in 1984 for the first time and has been touring the country for more than 20 years. The Moving Wall has enabled those not able to travel to Washington DC to see the Memorial to
view and experience the power of The Moving Wall on a more regional basis. Anyone who has had the opportunity to visit the permanent exhibit in Washington, DC can attest to the emotional impact this exhibit has for everyone. The Moving Wall will be displayed at Brown Football planting design and optional landscape construction contract administration services. About Bonin Architects: Bonin Architects serves the Lake Sunapee, Lakes Region, Maine and NH Seacoast as well as all of New England and New York. The firm believes in taking a collaborative team approach to every project. Architectural staff works collectively, bringing an array of personal strengths and professional experience to ensure exceptional quality throughout the design process. Residential architecture expertise includes new construction, additions and renovations for clients seeking a distinctive home design. Our commitment is to artfully transform your vision into beautiful and timeless architectural designs. Landscape design services include schematic master planning, landscape construction documents, and construction contract administration.
able to make the trip to Washington. Springfield Elks Lodge #1560 recently donated $500 towards “The Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall” that is coming to Springfield, VT, in July. Chairman Ron Walker was most appreciative of the Elks’ donation and is hoping many more organizations step up and help out the Co-sponsors of this wonderful event that is coming to Springfield in July. The next meeting of The Moving Wall Committee will be held April 19 at the Springfield VFW at 7 p.m. Mr. Walker is really concerned about two matters. First the funding and then the 24/7 manning of The Moving Wall. By that, he means, there has to be someone manning The Moving Wall all night long, 24/7 while The Moving Wall is in Springfield. He wants volunteers to call him if you can be of assistance. Call Ron Walker at 1-802-263-9472. Send any and all donations to Ron Walker, 870 Baltimore Road, Baltimore, Vt., 05143.

The News Review
Musings on The Passing Scene I’m more than a little tired of being lied to. It has been said that statistics don’t lie, but some awful liars use statistics. In the case of the current administration, the lie is accomplished by presenting statistics at separate times and then touting each as an improvement. This is done to bolster the myth that an economic recovery is taking place. Whereas, if the numbers were presented at the same time, it would be obvious that we are losing ground. For example, for the month of February it was announced that the first time claims for unemployment were approximately 340,000 (I’m rounding numbers for ease of writing - I’m being careful to round in administration’s favor). This was announced early in March and cited as showing improvement because it was the third month in a row that the number was under 400,000. A couple of weeks later, with great fanfare, it was announced that 280,000 new jobs had been created. This was touted as further evidence of growth. It does not require differential calculus to figure out that if you lost 340,000 jobs and added 280,000, you’re looking at a net loss of 60,000 jobs. By issuing the numbers dis-jointly, they cover up the lie of an “improving” economy. Before your eyes glaze over (They don’t call economics the “dismal science” for no reason), just ask yourself if you’ve seen any improvement. I’ve asked many folks across the economic spectrum, from minimum wage, hourly workers to business owners, “are things getting better?” Out of over a hundred people, I’ve received one “yes.” That was from someone who went from laid off to part-time work. A pretty pathetic example of recovery. This “recovery” is not “fragile,” its virtually non-existent. Think about it. The Mountain Curmudgeon
Editorial
Vermonter’s, Protect Your Rights – NOW New Hampshire Readers, You May Be Next
Kaylynne died 92 hours after getting her flu shot in December 2011. Kaylynne’s parents have been pleading with the Vermont legislature to oppose the proposed bills. However, the Vermont Health Commissioner and the American Association of Pediatrics are in favor of passing these bills. If the bills become law, all Vermont parents would lose their informed consent rights. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has a one-size-fits-all recommendation for children. They suggest the use of these vaccines, but fail to recognize or respect increased individual susceptibility to vaccine adverse responses for genetic and other biological reasons. If the child receiving the vaccines is susceptible to the vaccine, the protection they should receive may result in their death. I am asking you to call your representative and request that they vote NO on these bills. This way, the parents and their doctors can make the decision. The parents usually know if the child is sensitive to the ingredients in the vaccine. Many children have allergies to various medicines and the parent, and the attending physician who are both familiar with the child, should discuss the issue. Call the Vermont State House at 1-802828-2228 and speak to or leave a message for your representative. You elected them to act on your behalf. They cannot do this if they do not know your thoughts on the bills before them. ~BM~
Guest Editorial
This is not the editorial I had planned for this week, but, when I received notification of an upcoming crisis, I dropped everything and decided to bring this to your attention immediately. The following bills came across my desk on Monday morning, and I thought you might want to know about them and act on them immediately. The Vermont lawmakers have before them bills that will strip the right of parents to exercise a philosophical exemption to vaccinations from the public health laws. The Senate version of Bill 199 that would eliminate the philosophical exemption allowing parents to enroll children in public school without immunizations has passed the Vermont Senate. In passing the bill as first written, the Senate rejected attempts to water it down by amending the bill with a “compromise.” The amendment would have allowed philosophical exemptions after a discussion between a parent and the child’s primary care provider about the immunizations had taken place and if the provider then “signed off” on the parents’ decision to forgo immunizations. The bill, S.199, now moves to the House (House Bill 527) where, if it passes, will eliminate a philosophical exemption from the requirement that all children attending school and child care facilities receive immunizations specified by the Department of Health. What if your child is sensitive to the vaccine as in the case of Kaylynne Mae Patricia Matten of Vermont? Seven-year-old
Letters to the Editor
A shelter is coming! Dear Editor, Thanks to all of you who have supported us through the long process of getting approved for our shelter. Tonight the Claremont Zoning Board has approved our variance to open the shelter in Claremont. This is really great news as it has been a long slow process. It is going to take time, sweat, and money to get the shelter space renovated (new floors, paint etc.) and all the supplies we will need (cages, beds, food). We will be starting work on the shelter as soon as possible. We will be kicking off our Renovate the Shelter Campaign on March 31. We will be having a benefit concert at Bistro Nouveau as well as a silent auction. Please come out and support us. We will be emailing everybody to let you know of the upcoming events and you can “LIKE” us on Facebook to keep up to date and our website also has all of our upcoming events. http://schsofnh.org Thanks for all your support, Danyle Morse Vice President Sullivan County Humane Society 603-542-3277 sullivanhumane@hotmail.com The (Coming) End of Nuclear Fission Dear Editor, Does anyone believe that nuclear weapons and nuclear energy are answers to our problems in this world we all share? I’m here to tell you that they (fission reactions) produce very harmful effects that engineers and scientists have yet to discover and had they gone far enough they would have seen the horrific side effects. These effects are cumulative and should North Korea and/or Iran begin n-tests in earnest, they may quite literally put an end to existence here as well as other realms. Einstein’s fears about total obliteration from these WMDs were not unfounded, by the way. So, rather than carry signs, march, and chant, what we need are workable, practical alternatives. Now, there is no alternative to the weapons because they are borne out of individual and collective fear and fear, as we know, produces one of three responses: fight, flee, or freeze. However, there are devices and theories we can put to use today regarding energy production without disturbing the status quo - - for the time being, that is. Here’s a simple experiment for you. Buy a medium-size terra cotta (clay) flower pot and be certain to include the “saucer” that comes with it. Next, take some aluminum foil and coat the entire inside of the pot and the saucer by gluing the foil securely to all inside surfaces of the pot and the saucer. Place the saucer on top of the flower pot so that you have a completely enclosed container. What you have is an energy collector, but not the kind of energy we’re used to; let’s call it natural energy, but it isn’t wind or light or water power. There is a design for a house: a device that looks like a huge daffodil, but we’re a few years away from that right now. One interesting experiment you can do at home is with batteries. Take a few “dead” batteries and place them in the collector. Place the collector outdoors for 2 days or so and you’ll find that they have regained part of their lost charge. If you have or can buy a voltmeter (Radio Shack, around $20), measure the battery voltage(s) before and after insertion. Then the sky’s the limit as far as what you do from then on. Try putting some ripe fruit inside for a day, for example. This natural energy I speak of does not pollute, does not use any of the earth’s resources, is not only renewable but constantly available, and does not create dangerous by-products. It would be foolhardy indeed to go to the people who run Seabrook or Vermont Yankee and ask them to shut down their reactors. They would only laugh, but there is a design in the works which will allow spent nuclear fuel to be placed into a reactor and then have all the remaining energy extracted, leaving the residue non-radioactive, but that’s also for another and future time.

The News Review
March 28, 2012 5
Basketball has been a popular spectator sport in the Connecticut River Valley for years and years. For the most part, Vermont has its teams and New Hampshire has its teams and competition takes place within your own state, but newspapers such as The Shopper, The Eagle-Times, The News Review and The Valley News have made us all aware of how teams are faring on both sides of the river. Thus, those who follow roundball action regularly know how neighboring communities are doing and who could beat whom, if they played on a regular basis. This week’s column is about two Claremont youngsters, who played on the best Stevens High Cardinals boys’ team in a long time. Three years ago, coach Bill McIver’s team had a fantastic season and advanced to the Final Four of the New Hampshire Division III state tourney. Stevens had its opportunity to win
down the stretch in their semifinal game, but when the final horn sounded, Prospect Mountain had the most points on the scoreboard and walked away with 54-53 victory. Optimism was high in Claremont despite the loss, because Stevens’ fans knew this group as a whole was young and there was a good deal of talent coming up through the program. A couple of big twists occurred over the next two years though and a couple of the building blocks of the future departed Stevens for prep school. Big man Kaleb Tarczewski would never put on the Cardinal Red and Black again. The junior to be decided to attend St. Mark’s School in Southborough, Mass and would attempt to develop his basketball skills at a higher level there. One year later, Kevin O’Connor, prior to his junior year, made a similar decision. “St. Paul’s was a highly regarded academic school and I thought my fu-
ture would best be furthered there,” he said. Two important pieces of that Cardinal future would not graduate as Cardinals. The team would not win a dreamed of state title in boys hoop over the next two years, but two young lads were successful in furthering their development and the Stevens boys’ basketball team has continued to perform successfully as well. The year following the loss to Prospect Mountain, McIver turned out one more respectable team before he left the Stevens bench and Scott MacNamee then took over and has carried on with a couple of more competitive winning entries in the past two years. Some additional players have been given their chance to shine under MacNamee due to the departures and they have stepped up to compete, showing area fans that the talent runs deep in Claremont. This is a story to catch up with the two players who have moved on and found their niche. If you have not heard by now, Tarczewski has become a bigtime basketball prospect. His legendary coach David Lubick of St. Mark’s remembers the first day he became aware of the Granite State player. Former Boston College and NBA performer Jay Murphy (whose sons played for Lubick) saw the Cardinal at his big man camp. Lubick says, “Jay called me and
said, ‘Dave you better get in your car and come down here. There is a boy here 6’10”, who can play and has straight A’s’.” Tarczewski ended up playing for St. Mark’s for three years and now is headed to Arizona, in what is considered by many the best recruiting class in the nation. The Claremonter is on most everyone’s Top Ten in the nation list for senior recruits. O’Connor is not a major recruit in basketball, but this former Cardinal also left his mark at a prep school. He attended St. Paul’s in Concord, New Hampshire and made an impact in their hoop program. His coach Grant Edwards says, “He has been a huge help in the two years he’s been here. I remember when I saw him play for Stevens and he dropped 25 at HillsboroDeering. We knew he was a serious hoop player and he could step right in and help us.” O’Connor also will compete after he graduates. He has chosen a new sport though to further his athletic endeavors. St. Paul’s has exposed him to crew and O’Connor’s crew team will open their season in a home race on April 11. He hopes to attend the University of Washington if everything falls in place making it two Claremonters in far left time zones. Academics are very important to O’Connor and he said of his experience at St. Paul’s, “It was a great environ-
ment for me with the teachers living on campus and a chance for everyone to interact with them throughout the day.” St. Marks is on a higher playing level in hoops than St. Pauls, but they are both a part of the Independent School League and they play each other each year. St. Marks always has the upper hand, but the Concord based school has closed the gap some in the past couple of years. O’Connor remembers the first time he faced Tarczewski, “I ended up guarding him some. It felt like I was back in practice at Stevens.” On this past season’s game O’Connor reflects, “I did not have the game I had hoped for when I played him, but he is a terrific player and all together I was satisfied.” Coach Edwards was also satisfied with O’Connor’s work ethic because there was a possibility that the Claremont senior might not have played basketball at all this year. Grant tells it, “He broke his ankle early in open gym and he was an example to everyone as he rehabbed relentlessly and made it back much quicker than expected.” O’Connor averaged 10 ppg for his team. Next basketball season area fans will be able to turn on their television sets and see Tarczewski play more than a dozen times during the season. Arizona is a regular on
the tube, but you may have to stay up late because many of those games are played at 9 or 10 p.m. Stevens athletic director Scott Fitzgerald is proud that these two admirable youngsters have found success. When this scribe spoke to him about area Cardinal followers who still have expressed second thoughts about whether the two should have prepped elsewhere, he says, “Any disappointment felt by community members is based off what could have been.” It certainly is okay to dream about what might have happened, because no less an authority than Tarczewski has taken part in the exercise. He said, “Of course I think back to Stevens. There was that tough loss in overtime. I would think if we had stayed there with the talent that remained, I would think we would have won a state championship and that would have been really awesome. I know Stevens hasn’t won a state championship in anything since 1989 and it would have been cool to put a banner up in the gym.” One thing appears clear. Claremont has most likely produced more basketball talent than any town within our papers’ circulation area in the past three years. For that, everyone who has been a part of the program should be very proud!
BY BILL MURpHY The News Review Langdon, NH -Five years ago when Curt Dutilley took the reins of the Fall Mountain Girls basketball program, the Lady Wildcats were struggling. Home play-off games were not earned or held on a regular basis. All that has changed on Dutilley’s watch. In fact, home play-off games have been a constant and the Maroon and White have been a part of two of the last three New Hampshire Girls Basketball Division III Final Fours. When Dutilley’s seasonal exit meeting was held, the veteran coach informed athletic director Matt Schmidt he would not be returning. His job and the commute needed to coach were given as the reasons for his departure. “It has been a fun time,”
Dutilley Steps Down As Fall Mountain Girls’ Coach
Dutilley mentioned when contacted by The Shopper. “It is time to focus on my job and advance my way in the business end of things,” offered Dutilley who works for National Grange Insurance Company out of Keene in the organizational development section of the firm. Dutilley said from the company standpoint “I know the time is right. Sometimes you have to make tough choices and this was the time for me.” Fall Mountain was 7-11 in his first year at the helm and the record was reversed in year number two. Both seasons ended with a loss in the opening round of the post season. By that time Dutilley had the program on solid ground and the Lady Wildcats
Lead Certified
posted an outstanding 45-8 regular season mark over the next three seasons. The team lost in the quarterfinals this winter when a tiebreaker sent the team on the road in that quarterfinal round where they lost a tough one to Newfound 48-44. An excess of outstanding teams in Division III this winter left a 16-2 team on the road in the second round of the games that count. Dutilley sees a bright future for the Lady Cats. “There is lots of talent already at the school and I think the next six years could be incredibly successful with what’s coming along. One of the challenges for me in the Fall Mountain job was I thought there was a lot more that needed to be done to take things to the next
level. It was difficult not being a part of the community to model what you want. If you work at the school or live nearby you can meet players early
in the morning to go for a run and things like that. The program is in good shape, but the nature of my life does not allow for me to do what I think it
will take to move the program along.”

Volunteers Needed for Unique “Flavorful Landscapes” Forest Pest Survey Project
tions for this survey and to assist with creating the traps. Since EAB is strongly attracted to ash trees that are severely stressed, the traps are best located where there are dead or dying ash trees. Once a suitable location is identified, participants will girdle the ash tree with an axe or chainsaw. This should be done before June 1st. In the fall participants will cut down the tree and cut it into 10 onemeter sections from the upper bole. Participants will bring the one-meter sections to Fox Research and Demonstration Forest for a one-day workshop to peel the bark, look for EAB larvae, and learn more about invasive insects. The goal is to create trap trees at several declining ash sites in each county. Assistance is available for cutting, if needed. Sound interesting? This is a great opportunity to help monitor for an important invasive pest and attend a workshop to see the results. Please contact Kyle Lombard, Forest Health Program Coordinator for the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands at kyle.lombard@dred.state.nh.us or 603-464-3016 if you are interested in participating in this project or know of a good location to create a trap tree. UNH Cooperative Extension and the NH Division for Forests and Lands Forest Health Office work collaboratively to raise awareness and monitor for threats to New Hampshire’s forests. Learn more about these efforts at: www.nhbugs.org. CONCORD, NH -UNH Cooperative Extension and the New Hampshire Master Gardener Association will sponsor the annual Welcome Spring Symposium on Saturday, March 31, 2012 from 8:00 AM – 3:45 PM. The symposium offers a full day of garden-related lectures and presentations. Keynote Speaker, TV and radio personality, gardening expert and author Melinda Myers will present “Flavorful Landscapes”.

REGION -Do you know of a site where ash trees have died recently? Or know a neighbor or forester that’s mentioned some ash decline? The NH Division of Forests and Lands Forest Health Office is conducting a unique survey designed to monitor for Emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive pest threatening the forests of New Hampshire. EAB has been found in numerous locations in eastern New York and computer models suggest the first outbreak in New Hampshire will be between 2012 and 2015. Finding the pest early makes all the difference when considering control options. Foresters, landowners and interested volunteers are needed to identify key loca-
while reducing travel times. There will be two (2-hour) sessions with an hour for supper, starting at 3 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. Register On-line at: https://
www.event.unh.edu/RegistrationForm.pm?event_id=9851 or address a check payable to UNHCE and mail to: UNH Cooperative Extension, BSC Office, Attn: Introduction to Grazing, Taylor Hall, 59 College Road, Durham, NH 03824. For any special arrangements including physical access, or other accommodation requests, please contact Mary West at 603-7962151 or mary.west@unh.edu. This course is designed to give beginner farmers everything they need to feel confident instituting a grazing plan on their farms. Farmers will leave with a farm management plan in hand to work with-and dinner!

In a brief 30-year period in the early 19th century, the New Hampshire countryside became home to hundreds of thousands of sheep. Wool production became a lucrative business, generating fortunes and providing the only era of true agricultural prosperity in New Hampshire’s history. Farmers overcame enormous challenges to make sheep husbandry succeed, but forces from beyond New Hampshire were to doom the industry. The social consequences of the collapse of the industry persisted for a century. The Sullivan County Chapter of the NHTOA also organizes and runs the Woodsmen’s Field Day Competition held the third Saturday of August during the Cornish Fair. The NHTOA, a statewide trade association, has members throughout New Hampshire. Founded in 1911, the NHTOA represents all aspects of the forest products industry including landowners, foresters, loggers, truckers, mill owners and others. The forest products industry contributes more than $2.25 billion annually, or nearly 4 percent of New Hampshire’s Gross State Product. The program, which is underwritten by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council, is free and open to the public.

Lily’s Crossing
CLAREMONT. NH –On Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 10 a.m. Lily’s Crossing will be presented at the Claremont Opera House. An appropriate drama for grades 3-8 with a performance length of 55 minutes, Lily’s Crossing is set during World War II and tells the story of the war’s impact on two children, one an American and one a Hungarian refugee. Lily has planned a spectacular summer at Rockaway Beach at her family’s cozy house on the Atlantic Ocean. But by the summer of 1944, World War II has changed almost everyone’s lives. Based on Patricia Reilly Giff’s moving novel, ArtsPower’s play explores what happens when people are brave enough to forge new relationships and follow their heart. ArtsPower’s twofold mission is to provide young people, many for the very first time, with the unforgettable opportunity to experience the transporting power of outstanding theatre that entertains, stimulates, and educates; and to enhance “character education” among young people by creating theatre that fosters sound moral development, encourages self-expression, ignites the desire to read, and advances their development as productive members of society. Celebrating their 27th anniversary in 2012, ArtsPower is one of America’s preeminent nonprofit producers and presenters of professional theatre for young and family audiences.
