Five Year Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Released_______

The SCORP is an excellent tool for the Division, other state agencies and local communities to use as a resource, stated Phil Bryce, Director, New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation. A tremendous amount of work went into the development of this document through outreach to state agencies, local government, and the general public. The 2013-2018 New Hampshire SCORP provides the outdoor recreation community with a proactive framework based on a strategic vision, current data, and public input, and offers recommended Priorities, Goals, and Actions. This framework is offered as a guide and resource to be used frequently by diverse recreation agencies, businesses, non-profits, and communities statewide to develop collaborative projects that will provide easily accessed and safe physical connections for outdoor recreation opportunities in every corner of the state.

Great picture of a jittery red squirrel angry that someone has interuppted his daily routine! - Chris Mazzarella Photo (www.forestforward.com) During winters darkest months, dense stands of balsam fir and spruce provide critical cover for most of our local wildlife. During calm winter weather critters will be feeding on the edges of forest and field, stocking up for long winter months. During heavy snow, local wildlife can be found in conifer stands seeking shelter and thermal protection from the elements. Spruce and fir also play a critical role in our lives. In the world of forestry and timber cutting Ive always thought of spruce and fir as the bill-paying blue collar timber species. The use of oak, maple and other hardwoods is subject to taste; for these species it is all about what we like looking at in our homes. Do you like oak cabinets or cherry cabinets? Do you like maple flooring or ash? While these home building questions are largely cosmetic, Story continues on page A2
A Walk In The Woods____________By David Falkenham, UNH Cooperative Extension Grafton County Forester
There is no other stand of timber in the forest that captures my spirit more than a stand of spruce and balsam fir. Hunting in the thick firs is my favorite place to be, listening intently for Walkers bell, telling me his location and where a grouse might flush from. The snow is hanging from every bough, glistening and waiting for the slightest nudge from my hat at which point it drifts down my shirt, sending a chill rapidly down my spine. Were it not for the tempo of the dogs, and my focus on the grouse (or lack thereof) keeping warm might be difficult.

Performing and Learning at Wentworth Elementary School. See story below... - NCNCourtesy Photo
Wentworth Elementary School Performed Scrooge Before Their Holiday Break______

Wentworths middle school students treated the entire school to an improvised stage production of A Christmas Carol just before the school began their annual holiday break. It was the perfect way to end the week with a joyous celebration of Scrooges change of heart. dents, with several lower grade students also recruited for various roles. The 7th and 8th grade reading class had just completed a novel two weeks before the scheduled vacation break, so they agreed to explore a different genre of literaturedrama. The class gambled to see if they could pull off a play production in less than two weeks time. Reading and rehearsals began immediately. Scenery had to be drawn and painted, and props and dress had to be collected. The gamble paid off and the audience loved the lively culminating event. Isaiah Cranes natural acting talents won the hearts of the audience with his role as Ebenezer Scrooge, and Isaiahs kindergarten brother, Elijah, was a hit with his rendition of Tiny Tim. Reese Thompson was equally convincing in his role as Cratchit.
The entire performance began with a Power Point presentation to educate the mostly young audience about some of the plays background. Middle school students worked in pairs to research information on play-related topics and life in 19th Century England. They taught the audience about the life and work of Charles Dickens, child labor laws and the economy of the times, and old Christmas traditions in England. The older students thus served as teachers for both their own counterparts and for the lower primary grades as well. Immediately following the play, 7th graders Carly Merluzzi ( one The main play actors in Went- of the three ghosts) and Rebecca worths dramatization of A Crane (narrator, and yes, a third Christmas Carol consisted of Crane in the play) switched hats mostly 7th and 8th grade stu- and talked a little about singer-
On Saturday, Jan. 5th, an air ground rescue workshop was held at Scheller farm in Wentworth, NH. This was a coordinated effort between the Wentworth fire and police departments in conjunction with the DHART ( Dartmouth Hitchcock Advanced Response Team). John Hind from DHART gave a one and half hour class on air ground safety, communications, when to use helicopter rescue. This was followed by an outside interactive session in landing zone preparation, ground air communication, and helicopter landing. This seriously enhances Wentworth's first responders to deliver state of the art emergency medical care. The Wentworth Police officers were; Kevin Kay and Pete Chierichetti. The Firemen attending were:Jeff Ames, Chief; Dave Williams, Assistant Chief; Zachery McGraw; Bruce Welch; Ray Welch; Steve Welch; and Paul Davis, Sr. Other attendees included Arnie Scheller and Craig Scheller. - NCNCourtesy Photo composer Burl Ives before impressing the audience with their own singing. The two girls then invited the entire school to join them in a festive holiday song before the school began their vacation. Principal Keith Charpentier praised all the teachers involved and stated, This is a perfect example of integration of the curriculum. Students could clearly see how English, social studies, music, art, and technology subjects work together. The combined classroom literacy, technology integration, and performing arts experience kept the students open and thinking about what they were learning. I just loved it!

As staff members searched the facility, Roberts helped by shouting hot, cold, youre getting warmer, etc. Roberts yelled Hot! as they closed in on the room containing the body of a 56-year-old patient that Roberts then admitted strangling. (However, a few days later in court, she pleaded not guilty.) [KATU-TV] All perps should be so helpful! Next, Kenneth Epstein, 55, of Nev., pleaded nolo to misdemeanor charges of unjustifiable injury to animals, failure to have a cat fanciers license (?), violating the fire code, and two counts of public nuisance. Epsteins home was so filled with garbage the TV show Hoarders was considering filming there. The judge gave Epstein a suspended 358day jail sentence, and ordered him to continue therapy, keep his home open for inspections, and take in no pets without court approval. The city is also billing Epstein for the cost of cleaning up his home $95,553.08 for removing at least 41 tons of material, including 55 cats (15 of which were dead), six refrigerators, feces, rodents, decaying foods, and contaminated portions of the building.

In winter, the Bonds are a challenge for there is no easy way to get there. A there and back again trip from Lincoln Woods is 23 miles. However, if you play it right and have help with a car spot, you can hike from Lincoln Woods all the way through the Bonds, Zealand and Hale to a waiting car at the end of Zealand Road. That is how Atticus and I approached these peaks on one calm day last week covering 24.5 miles. halfway across the Pemigewasset Wilderness but neither of us were in a hurry to leave what many consider the best viewpoint in the White Mountains. From here Bondcliff looks even more dramatic than it does when you are on top of it. People who dont hike will see the pictures and see the backdrop of the cliffs and see the beautiful harshness of that mountain and think it is not real. Sometimes when looking upon it from West Bond I feel the same way. Sitting there surrounded by layers of mountains I thought to myself this is the only city I wish to live in. These are the only skyscrapers I wish to see. In his poem Upon Westminster Bridge Wordsworth wrote: Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would be he of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This city now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Thats what it is like while on West Bond only the ships, towers, domes, and theatres, and temples are all nature made and thankfully now man protected and preserved. The journey from West Bond to Guyot is relatively short, but once again the drifting snow made for slow going and it took us another hour. But Guyot, even on a cloudy day, is worth it. On these round and bald mounds there is a perspective that almost matches the Bonds themselves. In winter it is like walking on a moonscape and there is no other place like it that I can think of. The vast, gentle roundness of Guyot lends contrast to the jutting peaks of Franconia Ridge, Garfield, and the Twins. On the backside of Guyot the trail had been re-broken and I was thankful for the efforts of the group that had done it. But by this time I was tired. It took us an about an hour to go from Bondcliff to Bond; an hour from Bond to West Bond; nearly an hour from West Bond to Guyot; and it took another hour to get to Zealand. My energy was dwindling with the light of the day. Zealand Road for the last 2.7 miles back to the car. I thought of the term used for a longer hikedeath march once we were on the road. I shuffled along and from time to time Atticus would come back to check on me and then disappear into the night again leading us back to the car. Man and dog had come 24.5 miles across the Pemigewasset Wilderness in the middle of winter. However, for as tired as I felt, and as sore, it was a small price to pay for such a day, a day that most I know will never know.
I left my car up north at the end of Zealand Road and a friend dropped Atticus and me off in Lincoln Woods at 6:00 am.

Nature Tracks
Hello folks and welcome to this weeks edition of Nature Tracks. REGISTRATION OPENS FOR NH BECOMING AN OUTDOORS-WOMAN WINTER WORKSHOP Registration opened January 7 for the 2013 Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Winter Workshop, a one-day program where women can learn outdoor skills to enjoy during the winter months. The workshop will be held on Saturday, February 16, 2013 (snow date Sunday, February 17), at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Departments Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness, N.H. A fee of $55 covers the workshop, lunch and most equipment use. Participants must be at least 18 years old. New Hampshire BOW programs are co-sponsored by N.H. Fish and Game and the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation. An application and brochure about the workshop is available at http://www.nhbow.com. Winter BOW participants choose a single activity to explore during the daylong workshop. They can learn how to ice-fish, explore winter outdoor survival skills, track wildlife on snowshoes, try snowmobiling (beginners only) or experience the popular Shoe and Shoot class, which is woodland target shooting on snowshoes. The New Hampshire Wildlife Federation is a nonprofit group that advocates for the promotion and protection of hunting, fishing and trapping, as well as the conservation of fish and wildlife habitat. Visit http://www.nhwf.org. NH WILD TURKEY WINTER FLOCK SURVEY If you see a flock of wild turkeys in New Hampshire this winter, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department wants you to report it via the online NH Wild Turkey Winter Flock Survey.
New Hampshire now has an estimated 45,000 wild turkeys. Their presence here is a true wildlife restoration success story. Wild turkeys had disappeared from New Hampshire by the mid-1800s because of overhunting and habitat loss from extensive land clearing. Their successful recovery in the state began with a reintroduction of 25 turkeys by N.H.

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, The meaning of Immanuel, God with Us. There is no one in history that has been given more names or titles than Jesus Christ. If you've read through the Bible carefully then you know what I mean. Throughout the pages of Holy Writ over 100 names and titles are given to Jesus. And whether He is called "Bright morning star, Wonderful Counselor, the Root of Jesse, the Alpha and the Omega, or the Lamb of God", each of these names and titles is rich with meaning. They all say something significant about who Jesus is. However, there is no name more significant than "Immanuel". This name, which Matthew refers to in his Gospel (Matthew 1:23), was first given to Jesus by the prophet Isaiah 700 years before His birth (Isaiah 7:14). And this very special Christmas name, as Matthew tells us, means "God with us." Jesus Christ is Immanuel, "God with us. Immanuel. In this one name, everything humankind needs and the entire plan of God's salvation is subsumed. How blessed we are that Jesus Christ became Immanuel, God with us. Immanuel. In this one name, everything humankind needs and the entire plan of God's salvation is subsumed. How blessed we are that Jesus Christ became Immanuel, God with us. God love and bless all of you.

and later, Labelle. 2. Stevie Wonder, in 1976. The chart-topping double album contained 17 songs, including the hits "Sir Duke," "I Wish" and "Isn't She Lovely?" 3. Peter, Paul and Mary on their self-titled 1962 album. Despite a breakup in 1978, the trio continued to work together on peaceful causes. 4. "Yesterday." To keep the song in his head, he called it "Scrambled Eggs." 5. "Save the Last Dance for Me," by the Drifters in 1960. Shortly thereafter, R&B singer Damita Jo recorded an "answer song" called "I'll Save the Last Dance for You."
Portland (Oregon), Seattle, and San Francisco often top "greenest city" lists, but others, like Honolulu, by virtue of its large number of homes utilizing solar power, and New York, with more than double the amount of public transit ridership per capita than any other U.S. city, also place high. Pictured: Biking to work in San Francisco. -Credit iStockPhoto dayand the city is on track to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent below 1990 levels this year. Ecosalon ranks Portland, Oregon second, followed by Seattle, Chicago and New York. In another ranking, Canadian research company Corporate Knights granted Portland, San Francisco and Seattle a threeway tie for Americas greenest city. Denver ranked #4 while Albuquerque, Charlotte (NC) and Oakland tied at fifth. Unlike other city-sustainability rankings, this ranking focuses on the effort cities are making rather than on their results, which could take years to achieve, reported Kent Portney, a Tufts University researcher who participated in the project. In other words, this ranking is aspirational in nature. He says that each city was awarded a point for undertaking one of 38 programs or policies listed by Corporate Knights, in categories such as smart growth, land-use planning, pollution prevention, etc. And in yet another recent roundup, Mother Nature Network (MNN) declared Portland, Oregonwhere 200 miles of dedicated bike lanes and legions of supporters of local and sustainable food sources rulethe nations greenest city. San Francisco, Boston, Oakland and Eugene (OR) round out MNNs top five. Regardless of which city is greenest, all U.S. cities are greening up every day because planners now realize the economic advantages of using less energy, recycling more and keeping air and water clean. We can all help by supporting municipal energy savings, recycling and composting programs and community enhancement efforts. Who knows: If you keep it up, maybe your city will top one of next years lists.

Dear EarthTalk: Which are the greenest American cities, and why? -- D. Hansen, Wichita, KS Which American city is the greenest depends on who you ask. Every year dozens of publications and websites release their own assessments of which cities have the most environmentally conscious citizenry, the highest percentage of recycling or the lowest carbon footprint per capita. Portland, Oregon, Seattle and San Francisco are often top contenders, but some of the other leading choices may be a surprise. The Daily Beast based a recent round-up of greenest U.S. cities on data collected by market research firm Experian Simmons, which has been tracking the greening of the nation for half a century. Researchers polled thousands of Americans to find out what percentage in different geographic regions think and act in an eco-conscious way versus what percentage do not, as well as what percentage make a conscious effort to recycle. The company also tracked the number of public transit trips per capita and the percentage of households that use solar heating by region. Honolulu, most likely by virtue of the fact that one percent of homes there utilize solar power, came out on top. New York, with more than double the amount of public transit ridership per capita than any other U.S. city, is #2, followed by San Francisco, Seattle and Boston. Meanwhile, the website Ecosalon looked at similar types of data and drew different conclusions, finding San Francisco to be the greenest. Ecosalon was especially impressed by San Franciscans routinely voting for aggressive green programs (like banning plastic grocery bags and financing renewable energy sources for public facilities) and by the fact that the city diverts 70 percent of its waste, thanks to mandatory recycling and composting. To top it off, nearly half of all San Franciscans bike, walk or take public transit every
