2012 NH Trophy Fish Winners Announced
And A New State Record Pike For 2013__
New Hampshire Lives On Water_______________________________

SUPPORTING ALL THAT IS LOCAL FOR OVER 23 YEARS!

The winners of New Hamp-
shire's 2012 Trophy Fish Pro-
gram have been announced by
Don Miller, Fisheries Biologist
and Trophy Fish Program Coor-
dinator for the New Hampshire
Fish and Game Department. The
program gives fishing enthusi-
asts of all ages the opportunity to
receive recognition while pro-
viding biologists with important
information on the state's fish-
eries over time. All successful
applicants receive a "Trophy
Fish" shoulder patch. Then, each
February, the person who caught
the largest fish in each species
category is presented with a spe-
cial certificate. There are 22
freshwater species and seven
saltwater species categories for
both kept and released fish. All
ages and all legal methods of an-
gling are represented.
The Trophy Fish Program was
created in the 1970s, although
the state's record fish informa-
tion dates back to 1911. "Over
the years the Trophy Fish Pro-
gram provides us valuable data
on fish populations not normally
reported to us," Don Miller
noted. "And almost every year, a
new state record is reported,
which says a lot about New
Hampshire's fisheries."
Three state records were docu-
mented in 2012. Andrew White
of Vernon, Vermont caught a 30
inch long, 11 pound, 6.88 ounce
channel catfish out of the Con-
necticut River in Hinsdale. Ear-
lier that same month, White had
caught a 10 pound, 3.52 ounce
channel catfish in the same wa-
ters, which measured 30.75
inches. Timothy Moore Jr. of
Portsmouth caught a record grey
triggerfish weighing 2 pounds,
1.12 ounces and measuring an
impressive 15.5 inches in length.
Marc Schloss of Northboro,
Massachusetts, caught a 9
pound, 0.06 ounce, 21.25 inch
long tautog (or blackfish) in
Hampton Harbor for a new
record in that category.
And 2013 is off to a great start
with the verified new record
northern pike caught on Febru-
ary 16 of this year. Kevin Phelps
of Monroe caught a 24 pound,
9.44 ounce pike at the Moore
Reservoir on the Connecticut
River. Congratulations, Kevin!
Fourteen categories of "catch
and release" species and eleven
categories of "kept" fish were

DES Commissioner
There may be no better way to
see how our environment sup-
ports a vibrant state economy
than to consider our reliance on
water. First, tourism is a main-
stay of our economy, and much
of our tourism is water-based or
is supported by clean rivers,
lakes, and ocean waters. Sec-
ond, high-quality water bodies
and recreational opportunities
are critical to the excellent qual-
ity of life that helps to attract em-
ployers and an educated work
force to New Hampshire and
support the New Hampshire ad-
vantage. Third, reliable water
services such as clean drinking
water, reliable wastewater dis-
posal and properly maintained
dams provide essential support
to New Hampshires economy.
We would like to think that our
high-quality water resources and
water services will always be
here, that our quality of life will
only improve, and that our infra-
structure will always support a
strong economy. But according
to the Water Sustainability Com-
mission, appointed by Governor
John Lynch in 2011, New Hamp-
shire faces new water-related
challenges now and in the com-
ing years, and new approaches
are needed to ensure that our
state will have enough clean
water for future generations.
New Hampshire Lives on Water
is the Water Sustainability Com-
missions highly readable 28-
page report, urging government
and the private sector to work to-
gether on long-term approaches
to addressing water issues. The
report identifies four key areas
that need to be addressed: water-
related education, infrastructure

represented in New Hampshire's 2012 Trophy Fish Program. In
2012, three lake trout were caught and registered over 20 lbs. in
size, quite a remarkable feat.
Of the 83 entrants in 2012, 11 anglers (or 13%) were under 15 years
old. And these kids are serious anglers! Justin Learn, an 11 year old
from Hillsborough, caught a 14 pound, 5.76 ounce northern pike at
Pierce Lake to win his category. Thirteen-year-old Drew Dunlap of
Meredith just missed the win in the largemouth bass catch-and-re-
lease category with a very respectable 24-inch largemouth caught
on Lake Winnipesaukee. Nine-year-old Liam Hemmerling of En-
field, ten-year-old Wyatt Lumsden of Milton, and two seven year
olds, Katy Nowell of Braintree, MA, and Dominic DeClement of
Hollis, N.H., all caught and released excellent largemouth bass from
lakes around the state. Samuel Bennett, age 15, of New Boston,
caught and released a 15-inch black crappie. Congratulations to all
the entrants and winners for 2012. Grab the kids and get fishing for
2013!

investment, forward-looking
management approaches, and
environmental monitoring.
The Commissions 14 members
represented a broad range of per-
spectives on water needs, use,
and management. Only two
members the Director of the
N.H. Fish and Game Department
and I represented state govern-
ment agencies; the rest repre-
sented municipalities and the
private and non-profit sectors.
The Commission reviewed pre-
vious work, consulted with ex-
perts, and conducted an
extensive public participation
process which included public
forums in six locations through-
out the state.
An overview of the Commis-
sions findings makes it clear
that there is no room for compla-
cency:
New Hampshire residents rec-
ognize the importance of water
to their quality of life, but many
are asking for more information
about their role in ensuring a sus-
tainable water future for New
Hampshire.
Residents are increasingly con-
cerned about access to and con-
trol of water and water supplies.
New Hampshire is experienc-
ing declining water quality in
some of our lakes, rivers and es-
tuaries.
Extreme weather events are in-
creasingly frequent, causing
problems with water quality,
stormwater systems, flooding,
and the ability of water systems
to meet customers needs.
The states water infrastruc-
ture, last extensively upgraded in
the 1970s and 1980s, is aging
and increasingly inadequate to
meet present needs.
Water issues vary from one
part of the state to another. There
is no one-size-fits-all solution
that solves problems from the
North Country to the Seacoast.
At the same time, although the
quality of groundwater varies
from place to place, private wells
throughout the state should be
tested for naturally occurring
contaminants such as arsenic and
radon and for manmade contam-
inants such as MtBE so that
homeowners can take appropri-
ate action to protect their fami-
lies health.
Investment is needed to protect
our water resources and maintain
our water infrastructure if the
state wants to maintain its water-
derived economic advantage.
It bears repeating that the Com-
mission felt that the water chal-
lenges we face now and will face
in the future are different than
those of the past; therefore, it is
time for a departure from the so-
lutions of the past. Todays
water problems are more com-
plex and require smarter ap-
proaches and more resources to
address them. The solutions re-
quire the involvement of not just
state and local governments, but
businesses, institutions, individ-
uals, and the Legislature. Clean
water, where and when we need
it, is a renewable resource only
if we manage it effectively. We
owe its care to our children and
their children. The work must
begin now.

sions website,

tainability/. You can also learn

shires water challenges and the

Incessantly scouring the uni-
verse for the weird, the wacky,
and the stupid so you dont have
to.
Greetings, and thanks for join-
ing me for another week. First,
big news! A man was convicted
of punching his neighbor in the
face because he was annoyed by
the victims car horn beeping.
Dean Martin Jr. was convicted of
felony assault on Hutch
McPheters. The men lived across
the street from each other. Al-
legedly, Martin became angry
because every morning
McPheters gave his car horn
three quick beeps to say goodbye
to his daughter and mother. Pros-
ecutors say one morning Martin
threatened McPheters, and
McPheters replied with a sarcas-
tic comment about Martin only
hitting women. (Thank goodness
I just wave goodbye!) [The Sun
Journal]
Next, its not all bad! A burglar
feeling guilty about stealing
$800 from a store three decades
ago has repaid the money, plus
interest. The anonymous thief
sent a note and $1,200 in $100
bills to the Barry County sher-
iffs department. The writer ad-
mitted breaking into the Middle
Mart about 30 years ago. In a let-
ter packed with emotion and
spelling errors, the writer asks
for help in locating a man to
whom the writer owes the
money. Anyways, I did a very
bad thing that I am shamed of
and have lived with this guilt,
the writer said. I cant begin to
say how sorry iam but have lived
with this guilt too long, the let-
ter added. If you do find him,
please tell him that I was afool-
ish stupid man when I did that
and iam sorrie. [WOOD-TV]
Finally, a woman who spit on a
nurse at a hospital has been sen-
tenced to two years in prison.
Fifty-year-old Nadine Godden
pleaded guilty to aggravated bat-
tery. A second count of aggra-
vated battery alleging she bit a
security guards arm and spit on
him was dismissed in return for
her guilty plea. The state says
Godden had been brought to the
hospital extremely intoxicated
and, after using the restroom, re-
fused to return to her room. She
spit on the nurse while employ-
ees were trying to restrain her.
[(Champaign) News-Gazette]
I still regularly ask Whats
wrong with people? How can
anyone do these things? And
then I wondered if there is some-
thing wrong me because I cant.
Anyhow, one more list of head-
lines from one recent day: (1)
Duct-taped pup found in canal
(2) 18 men brawl at Chuck E
Cheese (3) Woman pushed down
stairs (4) 7 shot at family bar-
beque (5) Road-rage killer
pleads guilty )6) Jury: Wife
pushed man to death (7) Man
charged in oil change death (8)
Deputy: Man admits murder plot
(9) Police: Chicago baby killed
with single gunshot (10)
Butchered horse carcass found.
Speaking of problems in society:
Yet another Carnival Cruise ship
has broken down with no power,
no water, and overflowing toi-
lets. The only good thing about
taking a Carnival Cruise is even
Somali pirates wont try to board
them now. [Leno]
It was the 109th annual dinner of
the Explorers Club where wait-
ers passed around hors doeuvres
topped with cockroaches, scorpi-
ons and meal worms. The Ex-
plorers Club, founded in 1904,
describes itself as a professional
society dedicated to the advance-
ment of field research and the
ideal that it is vital to preserve
the instinct to explore. Past
members have included individ-
uals to achieve firsts: first to visit
the North Pole, the South Pole,
the summit of Mt. Everest, the
deepest point in the ocean and
the moon. Its in keeping with
the clubs ethos, then, to value
culinary exploration. Also on the
menu were dishes made with
goat penis and testicles, camel,
earthworms and rattlesnake. A
full-sized, roasted ostrich was
also on display, its long neck
propped up with wire as a waiter
sliced meaty portions for adven-
turous diners. A whole elk, a
goat, a beaver and muskrats were
similarly displayed and carved.
Why? Ninety-eight percent of
the population of America will
not go outside of the beef, pork
and poultry diet, said one club
member. The hope is that youll
see something that you think is
despicable, and youre willing to
try it. Thats where the adventure
comes in.
In case you wondered, who are:
Armando Perez, Peter Gene Her-
nandez, Carlos Irwin Estvez,
Marco Antonio Mui, and Mario
Armando Lavandeira? In the
same order, they are the real
names of: Pitbull, Bruno Mars,
Charlie Sheen, Marc Anthony,
and Perez Hilton.
From Cancer Treatment Centers
of America, the fine print: No
case is typical. You should not
expect to experience these re-
sults. So, uh...?
(Too much) Truth in advertising:
If you dont feel good when you
leave the bathroom, youve got
the wrong paper. Mine is so
cheap, it still has knots in it.
Sigh.
Later.
Wentworth Elementary School Hosts
Guest Violinist__________________________
On Thursday, February 21st, the
staff and students in grades 3-8
were treated to a performance by
Adrian Anantawan (www.adri-
anananantawan.com), a young
rising star violinist who happens
to have a disability.
Mr. Anantawan was accompa-
nied by pianist Amy Yang. In
2002 Adrian won an interna-
tional competition which VSA
(The International Organization
on Arts and Disabilities) spon-
sors for young musicians with
disabilities and as a winner also
performed at the Kennedy Cen-
ter in our nations capital. Fund-
ing for this performance was
provided by the New Hampshire
Music Festival's Visiting Artist
Program.
As part of the Arts in Learning
Program of the Arts Alliance of
Northern New Hampshire
(AANNH) and VSA NH (which
was Very Special Arts), Deborah
Stuart provided two classroom
visits prior to the performance to
have a chance to share with stu-
dents the unique talent and adap-
tive approach Adrian uses in
playing the violin.
Ms. Stuart stated It was an op-
portunity to talk with young peo-
ple about what ability is, how we
feel about differences and how
excellence means far more than
disabilities. Principal Keith
Charpentier said, It was fasci-
nating to have this unique oppor-
tunity to let our kids talk about a
subject that often is not dis-
cussed.
Wentworth Elementary School
would like to thank Ms. Deborah
Stuart, Mr. Stephen Tessler, of
New Hampshire Music Festival
as well as Adrian Anantawan and
Amy Yang for providing this
program to the students and staff
of WES.

Im guessing that after eight
years Atticus and I have now
climbed far more than five hun-
dred four thousand-foot peaks in
the White Mountains. The bulk
of those were done in the first
three years. Since then we have
taken to other mountains and
found the solitude of these
smaller, less crowded peaks but
no less majestic well worth the
switch. It feels more like the
wilderness we sought when we
first started hiking.
In winter the trails to the four
thousand footers can be crowded
places. Hikers obsessed with
winter peakbagging break trail
and consolidate the loose snow
and make it easier, at least until
the next snowfall. We do our
best to avoid the throngs. There
are times though, that we miss
these peaks we first came to
know and were called back to
them. But to avoid other hikers
we at often do them on off hours
even at night. Thats what
brought us to the trailhead with
only an hour of sunlight left the
other day and a storm due later
that night.
With the last storm of winter ap-
proaching and expected to dump
anywhere between eight and
eighteen inches, I kept a close
eye on the weather radar and At-
ticus and I started up the 2.6 mile
trail to Mount Jackson. I wanted
to reach the top, even though it
would be dark, to feel the energy
of the upcoming storm, rest for a
bit, and then head down.
Daylight quickly waned in the
first mile of the woods and my
headlamp came out quickly. We
marched along the snowy trail,
that beam of light chasing away
the darkness ahead of us. Be-
cause it is a relatively short hike
and the storm wasnt due in for
several more hours we werent in
much of a hurry. But putting one
foot in front of the hour in the
dark seemed to get us where we
were going sooner than antici-
pated.
On Jacksons summit we were
above the trees but swallowed
whole by the night. And let me
tell you, that can be a frightening
feeling. To be so far away from
everyone, to be perhaps the only
two on the trails with an oncom-
ing storm. I checked my child-
hood fear of the dark, let it turn
into a bit of exhilaration instead,
and then I checked my iPhone.
Radar showed the storm was still
a ways off. I considered how I
felt, checked on Atticus, and then
I decided not to turn back. In-
stead we took off for Mount
Pierce and dropped down off of
the summit cone.
The trail from Jackson to Pierce
can be a bit confusing in winter
and wind and previously fallen
snow concealed the way at times
so I had to use my imagination.
I had been using my Mi-
croSpikes but switched quickly
to snowshoes and that was a
smart move.
Through the night we pushed
through the snowy open area and
through the ghostly woods.
When the climb started we
slowed our pace and trudged up
Pierce. Just below the summit
the battery to my headlamp was
failing and I pulled out another
headlamps. Soon enough we
were on top of Pierce and I held
Atticus in my arms, fed him
some peanut butter crackers, and
we looked into the darkness and
slowly turned to look in all direc-
tions. Nothing but night.
There was no wind, just an eerie
nothingness. As we stood there
I was at once pulled both to get
home into the warmth and com-
fort of bed and driven to go even
further. Im not sure what it was
that drove me forward but after
looking at the weather radar
again I decided we still had
plenty of time. And so our hike
up Mount Jackson hadnt
stopped there as planned. It had
also taken us to the summit of
Pierce. But the night continued
to call to me and since we were
feeling strong, we didnt turn
and head home, but headed for
Mount Eisenhower instead.
In daylight this is a marvelous
stretch of trail that is mostly
above treeline. Alone at night it
felt as though I was Orpheus
heading into the underworld to
retrieve his late wife Eurydice.
But we werent there to retrieve
a lost soul, we were simply com-
pelled to be up there, I imagined
to bring something to my own
soul. And thats what it felt like.
The night takes so much away
with its mysterious gloom and
yet, as Ive found out through the
years, it also adds something to
me when Im on a mountain. Its
a feeling of completeness to be
out there by ourselves in a beau-
tiful place under an amazing set-
ting.
Weve been on these same peaks
on clear nights and had my
senses washed clean by falling
stars. But on a cloudy night,
while there was no heavenly fir-
mament to keep us company, I
found instead a deeper mysteri-
ous feeling. I felt as though we
were at one with the mountains
and yet invisible to everyone we
know. We were out there, the
mountains to ourselves, moving
through the shroud of darkness
and clouds and kept company by
the thrill that pulses through the
air that comes before a big
storm.
The last climb up Eisenhower
had us moving slowly and a few
wayward flakes began falling
and I was wondering if the radar
had been wrong. On top of that
immense bald peak we took on
last prolonged break, checked
the radar again, and I fed Atticus
more peanut butter crackers, and
then we turned for home.
Of course home was four miles
of hiking and another thirty
miles by car away. But still it
felt comforting to be heading
back. The radar was right and
those few flakes were harmless
and they stopped and with that
my mind eased a bit and we
made our way down the Craw-
ford Path, and after a short road
walk back to our car. It was just
before 1:00 am.
We had climbed three peaks in
the dark, walked eleven miles,
and if you ask me why we chose
to do it when we did, Im not
sure I could give you a sound an-
swer. Or at least one that would
make sense to you.
Thoreau wrote, When I would
recreate myself, I seek the dark-
est wood, the thickest and most
interminable and, to the citizen,
most dismal swamp. I enter a
swamp as a sacred place, a sanc-
tum sanctorum. There is the
strength, the marrow, of Nature.
Whenever I need to recreate
myself, or at least get back to
me, I take to the mountains at
night. I never think it out other
than to plan what we are bring-
ing with us for safety and I, of
course, watch the weather in-
stead Im simply compelled to
leave the safety of home behind
and journey out in a manner that
used to feel uncomfortable to
me.
When we woke up the next
morning the snow had been
falling for a few hours and it was
thick in the trees and on the
ground and I thought back to our
adventure of the night before and
it felt more like a dream than re-
ality. But then again, I have
come to see all the best past ad-
ventures that way. They linger
in memory as if they were too
good to have ever actually have
happened. They linger like a
dream. They keep me company
and remind me of my strengths
at times of worry or concern.
They feed me and nurture my
sense of adventure again, at least
until the next time were called
and compelled to listen.

Rituals of Spring
Well its that time of year again
when we can see the end of an-
other ski season. Although much
of my yard is bare ground right
now the forecast as of this writ-
ing tells us there is yet another
winter storm in the works which
means maybe one last blast of
powder skiing! Hopefully the
higher elevations will get snow a
little less dense, but even if we
get a heavy wet dump it will
mean some extended life for
those natural snow trails and
glades. Another plus will be the
quality of the spring surfaces
when we get that brief window
of Corn snow. The surface mix
of natural and man made snow
the has been groomed and frozen
over night then slowly begins to
thaw during the day will yield
granules similar in size and
shape to a kernel of corn which
always makes for some fun ski-
ing and riding at the end of the
season. And lets not forget that at
the very end when the overnight
temps stay above freezing we get
to ski on Corn's distant cousin
Crud which although can be
heavy and slushy by the middle
of the afternoon is still great fun
especially on those bump trails!
Things to think about as you pre-
pare for this all to short slice of
the season; water sunblock and
wax! Spending the day out on
the hill any time of winter will
dehydrate us quicker than we
think but during this part of the
season we need to be more vigi-
lant with our intake of H2O.
Having a water bottle handy and
filled will be a huge plus when
the sun is beating down and we
are working those quads a little
more than usual. We also need to
be liberal in our use of sunblock
this time of year, the double ef-
fect of a strong sun and the re-
flection off the snow will turn
your nose and cheeks scarlet
much quicker than you think!
And yes we should be mindful of
our wax! If you plan to spend
some time on the hill it is proba-
bly a good idea to give your local
ski shop a little end of the season
business and get a good wax on
your skis or board. Although the
universal waxes do work well, it
may be a good idea to ask for a
specialty wax more suited to a
bit higher temp. Also having a
chunk of wax in you pocket to
rub on will be a bonus on those
days when the quick temp
changes make some surfaces
just a bit grippy!
Some smaller areas will be clos-
ing at the end of March while
other larger areas will always try
to stick out well into April. Call
ahead to make sure, but there are
deals to be had every where this
time of year if you do a little re-
search. Mostly though...don't
miss out...this is the time to take
that vacation day from work,
play hooky from class or just put
life's regular routine on hold and
enjoy the last blast of ski season!

RABIES CLINIC
April 6, 2013
From 1-3 pm
at the Warren Fire Dept.
Cost: $10
Dogs, Cats
& Ferrets
Welcome!
Yup! You guessed it, another two
weeks have flown by. March has
been interesting to say the least.
Warm, cold, rain, snow, and
everything in between. Overall,
personally, I think I dislike
March the most. It's dirty, salty,
muddy, snowy, raw, cold, more
muddy and people are just trying
to get a glimpse of the sun and
warmth that might follow.
March is also a time for the
Town Meetings throughout the
area. Living in Warren, a town of
around 900, it's always a very in-
teresting Town Meeting to say
the very least. Usually we pass
millions of dollars in a matter of
minutes, and discuss and argue
over a $100 article, but, I guess
that's part of all the fun.
In Warren, after the polls close,
the ballots are pulled out of the
locked box, and normally sepa-
rated in to two or three piles. Ta-
bles are set up with a caller at
each table and three other peo-
ple who make a mark next to the
names on a sheet of paper, when
the names of those voted for on
the ballots are called off. When
they get to the fifth mark, they all
say check, to know that they have
the same amounts across the
board. This verifies that every-
one matches and the numbers
are correct as the calling goes
on. It may be old school to some,
but it works and is very efficient.
I am proud to say, that for prob-
ably the past 15 or more years, I
have been a caller after the polls
close. Calling off the names of
the people voted for, while the
other three at the table make the
checks. Never boring, always an
enjoyable, yet important job.
However, even in a town of
around 900, where probably 1/4
of that number actually vote, it
never ceases to amaze me at how
inconsiderate some voters can
be!! Yes, I call it an inconsidera-
tion to those who have taken the
time to run for an office.
I have come across blank ballots,
ballots with slang words written
in, ballots with names of the likes
of Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse,
Charlie Brown, Butch Cassidy,
with things like "anyone but
him," "not this jerk," written in
amongst a variety of other
things!
Some may think it funny, others
may just chuckle and move on,
but it disgusts me to see votes
thrown away for absolutely no
reason. If you don't like some-
one, don't vote for them - period!
Leave the spot blank or write
someone who is actually running
on a write-in vote in.
The reason I bring this up this
year, is because I always say that
every vote counts. This year they
did. For those taking the time to
run for an office, many times for
a thankless position, the least a
voter could do, is respect the
honor and duty of being a voter!
Case at hand - two people run-
ning for the Town's Road agent
position. One on the ballot and
one as a write in. The vote was
101 to 98. Two School Board
members running, the vote was
104 to 101. There are recounts
scheduled for both.
So to those writing in Daffy
Duck, Mickey Mouse and other
oddities not mentionable here in
the paper, I say this: your votes,
had they had been able to be
counted as actual votes, could
have made the outcome of these
results different in either direc-
tion!
So why even come to vote if you
are just throwing your vote
away? Why bother? Why waste
our time and the time of those
actually running for a position
they want, believe in, and one
which could mean their pay-
check?
The next time you go to vote,
think about how close these two
positions where and think about
the vote you simply tossed away
that could have made the out-
come much different. Yes, every
vote does count! Even yours......

NH Consumer Warning:
Identity Thieves Trolling for
Your Tax Refund
Nationwide More than $5 Bil-
lion in Refund Thefts This Year
by Mike Clifford
Local consumer advocates warn
that identity thieves are working
overtime this year, trying to get
people to reveal personal infor-
mation by email and phone so
they can steal tax refunds.
Harold Moldoff, a volunteer
"Fraud Fighter" with AARP New
Hampshire, said identity thieves
have already made off with an
estimated $5.2 billion in fraudu-
lent tax refunds.
Most scammers work by phone
and by email, he said, and they
usually entice consumers with a
money-making proposition.
"They say, 'We'll get you $80 in
extra refunds if you complete the
following customer survey for
the IRS,'" he explained. "It's a
scam; the IRS does not do that."
Moldoff said consumers should
know that the IRS only makes
initial contact through the U.S.
mail; agents never use e-mail or
phone for that purpose. Tax re-
fund theft is up 60 percent over
last year, he warned, and is the
fastest-growing form of identity
theft.
Consumers can file to have the
IRS correct the problem, he
added, but noted that many peo-
ple are in desperate need of their
tax return, and the process can
take a while.
"The average refund is $3,000,"
he said. "Theft puts people in fi-
nancial distress until they finally
get the money that's owed to
them, and that can take up to six
months."
While there is no way for tax-
payers to be 100 percent sure
their identity is safe, Moldoff
says people can use the clock to
reduce the odds of becoming a
victim of this kind of tax fraud.
"You're certainly so much better
off getting it filed as quickly as
possible," he said, "so if some-
body does in fact try to steal your
identity to file for a fraudulent
tax refund, you've already beaten
them to it."
Anyone who thinks they might
be a victim of tax refund fraud
should notify the IRS by contact-
ing the Identity Protection Spe-
cialized Unit at 800-908-4490,
ext. 245.

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, Unity and Diversity in the
Body. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Just as a
body, though one, has many parts, but all its many
parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we
were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one
bodywhether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free
and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even
so the body is not made up of one part, but of many.
The eye cannot say to the hand,I dont need
you!And the head cannot say to the feet, I dont
need you!On the contrary, those parts of the body
that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the
parts that we think are less honorable we treat with
special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable
are treated with special modesty, while our present-
able parts need no special treatment. But God has
put the body together, giving greater honor to the
parts that lacked it, so that there should be no divi-
sion in the body, but that its parts should have equal
concern for each other. If one part suffers, every
part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part
rejoices with it.You have a gift in the Body.Use
it.You're important.They need you. WE ARE ONE
BODY! God love you all.

Dear EarthTalk: What is the de-
extinction movement all about?
-- Bill Mitchell, New
York, NY
De-extinctionbringing back
extinct animal and plant
speciesis a term that conserva-
tion biologists and environmen-
talists have been bandying about
for a decade or so. But only re-
cently have advances in genetic
sequencing and molecular biol-
ogy transformed de-extinction
from theory into something that
we are all likely to see in our
own lifetimes.
Or so Revive & Restore, a proj-
ect of the Stewart Brands Cali-
fornia-based non-profit Long
Now Foundation, likes to think.
The group is creating a move-
ment around de-extinction, and
is taking the lead on efforts to
bring back the passenger pigeon
while helping out on other ongo-
ing efforts to restore other ex-
tinct species including European
aurochs, Pyrenean ibexes, Amer-
ican chestnut trees, Tasmanian
tigers, California condors, even
wooly mammoths.
The main rationale behind bring-
ing back these long gone species
and others is to preserve biodi-
versity and genetic diversity,
undo harm that humans have
caused in the past, restore dimin-
ished ecosystems and advance
the science of preventing extinc-
tions.
While de-extinction may seem
only theoretical at this point, bi-
ologists are already knocking on
its door. In 2003, Spanish re-
searchers used frozen tissue
from the last Pyrenean ibex,
which had died three years ear-
lier, to clone a new living twin
(birthed by a goat). While the
baby ibex died of respiratory
failure within 10 minutes of its
birtha common problem in
early cloning effortsthe de-ex-
tinction movement was officially
born.
Revive & Restore expects to see
much more progress in the com-
ing decade given the recent
focus on the topic by geneticists,
conservation biologists and envi-
ronmentalists. The group is
working with researchers around
the world to put together a list of
potentially revivable species.
Some of the criteria for whether
a given species is a good candi-
date for revival include how de-
sirable it would be to have it
around, how practical it would
be to bring it back, and whether
or not re-wilding (returning it
to a natural environment) would
be possible.
First up for Revive & Restore is
the passenger pigeon, which was
hunted from a population of bil-
lions in the 19th century to ex-
tinction by 1914. The group has
enlisted the help of bird experts
around the world to contribute to
the project, and in February 2012
convened a meeting at Harvard
University to coordinate the next
steps. Currently Revive and Re-
store is busy sequencing the
DNA of the passenger pigeons
nearest living relative, the band-
tailed pigeon, and is simultane-
ously gathering DNA from some
1,500 preserved passenger pi-
geon specimens. The group
hopes to combine this biological
and genetic material to reintro-
duce the once abundant species.
In response to critics who ques-
tion the logic of bringing back
extinct species in a world poten-
tially unprepared to host them,
Brand, founder of the Whole
Earth Catalog, counters that its
our job to try to fix the hole in
nature we created. Its our
fault that some of these crucial
species have been completely
wiped out, so we should dedicate
our energy to bringing them
back, he says. It may take gen-
erations but we will get the
wooly mammoth back.

Keeping Each Other Well
by Elizabeth Terp
Cosauke...
Adventures
in
Homesteading
by
Beth
Weick
Megaliths and
Flower Gardens
It started with the gift of a book.
All about stone circels, druid
mysticism and megalithic mon-
uments, the tome was entertain-
ing to flip through. Plenty of
pictures, and just the right mix of
history, myth, and mystery to
captivate us somewhere between
interest and fascination. Then
Ryan made the point: we DO,
after all, live in the Granite State.
Imagine a stone circle of our
own? A massive stone lintel
over the path to the property? A
megalithic construction upon the
hillside, a monument uniting art,
beauty, and natural features?
Well, yes, imagine that.
It is a tongue-in-cheek sort of
conversation, one of daydreams
and chuckles, and preposterous
plans. It is tinged with awe and
curiosity, a hint of daring, and a
penchant for the extra-ordinary.
It is a conversation embued with
a love of place - our place, and a
passion for the gifts of the land.
While we share a laugh about
granite boulders atop the hill, we
segue quite naturally into a dis-
cussion of which trees to fell to
bring more sunlight to the blue-
berries, and where it is most ur-
gent to clear away brush come
spring, and which picturesque
balsam must be preserved for its
stately appearance.
Our conversation wanders to the
fruit trees we'll plant this spring,
and where best to root them. We
talk of the garden, and extrapo-
late where it's boundaries might
reach in a few years time. We
surmise a time when it's flowers
and peaches we'll look upon
from the southern window, and
when the stump sprouts and wild
raspberries will no longer be en-
croaching with such vigor.
Someday we'll use a scythe to
trim the "field," not just clippers
and a chainsaw to push back the
persistent colonizers of the
Northern Forest.
From megaliths to flower gar-
dens, our dreams - and jokes -
are plans that shape our place
within the landscape. Gently,
personably, gradually, we are es-
tablishing our own roots above
ground as much as below.
Thinking of the massive effort
behind stone monoliths and
monuments, it is easy to sense
the evocative nature of such an-
cient construction. The (often)
astronomical precision mixed
with the implications of grand
effort, coupled with our incom-
plete history of the era, creates a
sense of wonder.
And perhaps, on a smaller scale,
a landscape in the midst of the
woods can do just that. Nothing
grand, nothing outrageous. And
yet the effort and the heart to
grow a garden, to culture a life,
to paint a human beauty across a
wild and natural landscape has
the power to suggest art, emo-
tion, and passion. And so, in our
small and humble way, we are
creating our own plot of joy, of
love, and of beauty. It is the art
of dreams writ across the land-
scape.
And we just may stack a few
stones to enhance the effect...
If you are interested in ecologi-
cal garden design and main-
taince, or simply need some
weeds pulled from your garden
or landscaped housefront, please

Redefining Pro-Life
This preoccupation with calling
Pro-Life a childs right-to-life is
totally missing an important part
of lifes equation. We do suffer
in this country from a blind spot
to future responsibilities for our
actions. Whether we are talking
about water, energy, food, medi-
cine, or life itself, we tend to
avoid looking at the long-term
consequences of responsibilities
we never got around to assum-
ing.
Children dont exist in a vac-
uum. Were all part of a commu-
nity. If a child has a right to be
born, then that child, in a respon-
sible community, would also
have a right to a welcome home,
sustenance, and education to pre-
pare for life work. That child has
a right to a quality of life which
seems to be totally disregarded
in the passionate Pro-Life pleas.
True pro-life requires a much
stronger commitment than sim-
ply delivering a child.
The very voices espousing Pro-
Life politically, are the same
voices that want to cut taxes, ed-
ucation, and health care. If we do
honestly care about the life of a
child, it begins before concep-
tion and continues throughout
growth and development. With-
out that commitment, who has
the audacity to demand that
every conception be brought to
term?
While there are success stories of
women who have chosen to
carry their children to term and
placed them for adoption to lov-
ing homes, there are too many
other stories of children who
were not wanted, and were
raised in a home that resented
them, or an adoptive home that
abused them.
In their book, Half the Sky:
Turning Oppression into Oppor-
tunity for Women, Kristof and
WuDunn quote a Muslim
woman who said, You think
were victims, because we cover
our hair and wear modest cloth-
ing. But we think that its west-
ern women who are repressed,
because they have to show their
bodies- even go through surgery
to change their bodies- to please
men.
Pro-Life/ Pro-Choice cannot be
taken out of the context of all of
life. Weve taken baby steps to-
wards womens rights in the US
but the current debate lets us
know we have much work to do
to define, encourage, and sup-
port a quality of life for all peo-
ple.

It was Pulitzer Prize-winning
American novelist Pearl S. Buck
who made the following sage
observation: "All things are pos-
sible until they are proved im-
possible, and even the
impossible may only be so as of
now."
If you dread trying (and too
often failing) to pair up socks on
laundry day, you'll be glad to
know that your anguish is not
unrecognized: May 9 has been
designated National Lost Sock
Memorial Day.
Progress is not always univer-
sally embraced. In 1825, a mag-
azine called The Quarterly
Review scoffed, "What can be
more palpably absurd than the
prospect held out of locomotives
traveling twice as fast as stage-
coaches?"
There are those who wonder if
beloved actor Tony Curtis, with
more than 100 films to his credit,
would have been quite as suc-
cessful if he hadn't changed his
name. His given name, Bernard
Schwartz, just doesn't quite have
the same ring to it.
