Winter Injury On Blueberries___________
By Heather Bryant,
Regional Field Specialist,
Food and Agriculture
This time of year blueberry
plants are dormant, and this is
the perfect time to start thinking
about pruning. If like me you
are looking out at a field cov-
ered in snow, dont worry you
have until the plants start grow-
ing again in the spring to get it
done. Meanwhile, pruning sea-
son is a good time to take stock
of what has and is happening
this winter and start planning
for the upcoming season.
Im writing this during a heavy
snowstorm, but actually we
made it through most of
December and January without
much snow on the ground. In
addition to that it has been
extremely cold. Unfortunately
this is not ideal weather for
blueberries or fruit crops in
general. One of the concerns to
look for this coming season is
winter injury.
Blueberries can be adversely
affected by four different types
of cold temperature stress. The
first issue is cold winter temper-
atures. Even the cold hardy
blueberry varieties we would
recommend for this area can be
damaged at temperatures below
negative 25F. Depending on
where you are, some of you
may have seen temperatures
that cold this winter. If you
havent planted yet, you can
guard against this to a degree if
you choose a site where the
cold air can drain away from
the plants and if you plant cold
hardy varieties.
The second and somewhat
counterintuitive cause is mois-
ture stress. In the winter soil

Winter Injury On Blueberries______________________________
Continued from page A1
moisture is frozen and the air
tends to be dry. Add wind, and
the buds and plant tissue can
become desiccated, especially
if the plants are not insulated by
snow cover. Choosing shorter
stature varieties and pruning
your plants shorter when they
get excessively tall will help
with this by keeping the buds
closer to the ground. A wind
break may also help as long as
it doesnt prevent air drainage.
A third issue is temperature
fluctuations. Blueberries have
a chilling requirement, once
that requirement is met, if the
temperatures rise the plants will
start to come out of dormancy.
If the temperatures drop again
the plant is now more suscepti-
ble to cold than it was when it
was still dormant. We havent
had that many warm days, so
hopefully that is not an issue
this year. Avoiding steep plant-
ing sites with southern expo-
sure can minimize this risk.
The fourth issue and the one
that is an even bigger issue for
tree fruit, is the risk of a late
frost just when the plants are
flowering. Blueberry flowers
can be damaged by tempera-
tures below 28F. Again, one
way to guard against this issue
is to plant on a site with good
air drainage. Its also useful to
know that flowers on small
short diameter stems will open
before the flowers on large
diameter stems. If frost during
flowering is a common occur-
rence for you, prune for larger
diameter stems to try to get
your plants to flower as late as
possible. Other than that, we
can only cross our fingers the
temperatures dont drop while
the plants are flowering.
So if winter injury has
occurred, what are the symp-
toms to watch for? In most
cases the damage wont be
obvious right away. The tips
are more susceptible than the
lower sections, so you may see
some canes with dead tips. This
tends to be even more notice-
able in raspberries. The plants
will also sometimes leaf out in
the spring and appear fine, and
then all of a sudden some of the
canes just seem to collapse.
While there are other things that
can cause this, winter injury is a
common cause. It means that
the roots were damaged but not
killed. They had enough vigor
to get the plants started, but as
the leaves matured and the
berries started to form, the plant
began to demand more
resources than the weakened
roots could provide. Proper
pruning aimed at not allowing
the plants to become over
grown may help with this.
If youd like to learn more
about caring for blueberries and
other fruit crops, Cooperative
Extension runs a series of prun-
ing demonstrations across the
state each spring.

Bermans Bits
by Dave Berman
Incessantly scouring the uni-
verse (and my back yard) for the
weird, the wacky, and the stupid
so you dont have to.
Okay maybe its me, but a couple
of weeks ago there was a full-
hour additional newscast and
the pre-empting of Good
Morning America because of...
some snow. The Blizzard of 78 I
could understand, but a foot of
snow? We are undergoing the
wusification of NH.
There are so many touchy jerks
in the world ready to violently
strike back at a perceived slight
no matter how, well, slight. Take
the guy who was allegedly tex-
ting at a movie and then threw
popcorn at someone who com-
plained or the kid who was in a
car with friends who were play-
ing their music too loud.
Someone took offense and they
both ended up shot dead. Didnt
someone say dont sweat the lit-
tle stuff (and its almost all little
stuff).
I spend time every day looking at
the obituaries to make sure I am
still around. Recent offerings fea-
tured people in their 80s and 90s.
Ill take any of those, but as we
know, I (and you) may have 30
seconds or 30+ years left we
never know. If you believe you
only live once, use your time
well!
Speaking of getting older, my
short-term memory is slipping,
so I dont always remember if I
have included something here
recently or not. Please forgive me
if I repeat myself.
Speaking of getting older, my
short-term memory is slipping,
so I dont always remember if I
have included something here
recently or not. Please forgive me
if I repeat myself.
The long-term memory isnt
doing so well either. We were
recently out to dinner, and I could
only remember seven of the eight
parts of speech. The last one
finally came, but it took a few
minutes. (It was the elusive inter-
jection.)
Most of us only know so much. I
am a person of words, so if I have
problems with my car, I take it to
a mechanic; if I have plumbing
issues, I call a plumber, and so
on. Not a lot of call for proof-
reading, editing, idea generation,
feature writing, letter writers, etc.
up here. However, if you need
one....
A quiz: put the following events
in the correct order: meet a girl,
have a baby, leave the girl, meet
another girl, have another baby,
date the girl, ask her to marry
you, have another baby, realize
you arent be ready to be married,
leave her, repeat.
A friend said the Olympic
biathlon was interesting to watch,
but he didnt think he could
watch it for six miles. I agree!
Maybe to make it more interest-
ing, the competitors could shoot
at each other along the way.
Dont get me started on the Cross
Country Relay almost two
hours of watching cross country
skiers, uh, cross country skiing.
On the other hand, those lugers
and skeleton riders are crazy. In
both sports, the riders lie on a
small sled that goes fast and try
not to die.
You have to have heard the
news (or read this column over
the past month) to get this Bit,
but when I went into an area
sandwich shop, they asked me
what kind of bread I wanted. I
said, All season radial.... They
were out. They asked me if a
Mud and Snow would do.
In big news, Facebook will now
allow users to identify not only as
male or female, but as androgy-
nous, bi-gender, intersex or any
other identity they choose a
move thats being celebrated by
the LGBTQ community. The
change, which Facebook
announced on its Diversity page
will initially apply only to the
companys 159 million users in
the U.S., but the company says
that, at some point, it hopes to
roll out the third, customizable
gender option to international
users, as well. At least 56 preset
options are available in that
field.
Thats my story and.... The wife
of Valentino Ianetti was found
dead with 47 stab wounds, lead-
ing police to immediately suspect
her husband, who happened to be
at home with her. However, after
three years imprisonment,
Ianetti, 63, won release by finally
convincing prosecutors that his
wife actually committed suicide.
Although the case is still official-
ly under investigation, the
medical examiner concluded that
46 of the wounds were superfi-
cial - - hesitation cuts perhaps
self-inflicted as the wife built up
the courage to administer a final
thrust. Also, the wife was found
with a heavy dose of oxycodone
in her system and likely felt lit-
tle pain from any of the 47
wounds. [Star-Ledger
(Newark)]
Finally, if we have to have
drive-bys.... A suburban St.
Louis boyfriend and girlfriend
are facing charges for shooting
at a fast-food worker with a
Nerf gun as the weapon.
KMOV-TV reported that 22-
year-old Stephanie Winkler and
26-year-old Mark Applebaum
are charged with third-degree
assault for the incident. Police
say the couple drove an SUV
through the drive-through lane,
didnt order anything, but
pulled up the window and shot a
Nerf dart at the worker. The
employee was not hurt. Police
have not said what prompted
the action. Uh, stupidity
maybe? Later.

Every two weeks I decide what
outdoor experience has moved
me the most so I can write about
it for our column in the
NorthCountry News. Until this
morning, I thought what I was
going to write about was a hike
we took earlier in the week. It
was a crazy cold day with roar-
ing gusts of non-stop wind, and
when the sun dropped below the
mountains the day became for-
lorn and the wind grew stronger
and became more harsh and
even more vociferous. We did
the smart thing and retreated
inside where we were safe and
warm. Atticus and I took to the
couch; Will to his dog bed, cov-
ered by layers of soft blankets.
But about ten oclock something
strange happened. It became
noticeably quiet and still. The
full moon was shining brilliantly
and the night, sans wind, was as
pleasant as a February night has
ever been. After taking Will out-
side one last time, then tucking
him back into bed, Atticus and I
set out to hike Stanton and
Pickering. Two mountains just
four miles away in Bartlett.
They are standby peaks for us
and with all the fresh snow they
were perfect for a night hike
with a ripe moon overhead. I
rarely needed my headlamp, and
we took advantage of the broken
path to make our way to the
ledges of Stanton with views
over to Attitash. Then we turned
our backs on the lights of the ski
area and followed the well-
packed path through the snow-
laden woods to the views from
Pickering. There, glowing as
beautifully as a bride all in her
white gown stood Mount
Washington. She caught the
moonbeams and danced beneath
the stars. We stood there taking
her in for a while before turning
around and heading back the
way we came. We were home
and in bed by 1:30 in the morn-
ing all the better for living our
dreams instead of getting fleet-
ing glimpses of them while
sleeping.
I thought of that hike over the
next few days, and I felt like I
was walking around with a
pleasant secret hidden away in
my pocket. Night hikes do that
to a person. You see things hard-
ly anyone else sees in places no
one else is, and you cant help
but feel fortunate to have what
amounts to a private showing of
some of New Hampshires best
scenery. It was like walking in a
dark gallery with the master-
piece being lit by the only spot-
light in the room.
That was the experience which
enlivened me the most this week
until today.
Its Thursday, and the sun is out
and the wind is mostly quiet.
The skies are blue and, as is
always the case in winter, here
in Jackson the sidewalks are
impassable. In order to find a
place to walk with Atticus on
days we are not hiking we drive
the ten mile commute to one of
the few places in North Conway
where the trails are mostly
packed out: Pudding Pond;
Dianas Baths; or Echo Lake. It
helps that the scenery is gor-
geous, but two trips a day puts
forty-miles on the car only to go
for walks.
But this is the week of February
school vacation and the roads in
Jackson, much like in most of
our small mountain towns, are
more dangerous than ever with a
neverending fleet of oversized
out-of-state SUVs being driven
by people who seem to forget
that the idea of a vacation is to
leave your stress behind and not
bring it with you. The invading
Huns are so great in number this
week each winter that they typi-
cally spill into our peaceful
walking areas. So today, look-
ing for a quiet place to go for a
walk with Atticus, I came up
with a new idea.
We drove to Passaconaway
Road and parked at the empty
lot for the trail to South Moat.
We then returned to the road and
started walking west. Two miles
down Passaconaway Road runs
into a gate that is closed for the
winter, and there arent many
houses along that stretch of road.
So we took advantage of the
bright blue sky, the wind not
being able to reach us between
the trees, and the warmth of the
sun hinting that there may be a
spring after all and we simply
walked.
I cannot tell you how luxurious
it was not to walk through snow
or on top of it. How nice it was
to be outside without having to
wear Microspikes, snowshoes,
or crampons and to be able to
just saunter along. The little
snow left on the road was melt-
ing underfoot, and it felt grand
to have pavement underfoot and
to stretch out our legs. Heading
west, the road rises a bit in ele-
vation but even that slight grade
felt good. I could feel my mus-
cles stretching out in a carefree
flight up the road like we
havent had in months.
Oh that glorious sun was a treat
to behold! It warmed every-
thing, including us, and I took of
my sweater and walked with
only a shirt on. Atticus skipped
along happily. On either side of
us snow was piled deep and the
gold beech leaves quivered and
waved at us when we passed.
We could hear the roar of the
Swift River down the bank as it
followed the road and when
there was an opening and we
could look down there wasnt
much to see. Occasionally the
water was revealed but mostly
the Swift was covered by snow
over the rocks and it looked pure
and serene.
There is a month left to winter
but on this walk, on this day of
elongating our legs and elevat-
ing our spirits and not seeing a
vehicle nor another person, I
could feel that winter was in the
last depths of its slumber, that
place where we all know when
we are somewhere between
sleep and being awake when
dreams, at times, can still be
remembered.
Often when we walk the roads I
wear my ear buds and listen to
music, and I gave some thought
to it on our walk, but the roar of
the river below and the sound of
the toothless wind above the
trees and the otherworldly
silence on a week where mania
is typically the rule I wanted to
listen to nothing but nature.
Eventually, we came to a farm-
house that looked abandoned.
There were No Trespassing
signs up, and I fancied how nice
it would be to live there in peace
and quiet, no matter the time of
year. Even in summer when
Passaconaway Road runs
straight through to the other end
where its known as Dugway
Road and crosses a covered
bridge to reach the Kancamagus
Highway, it is not all that busy
nor is it loud.
We didnt trespass onto the
property, not physically anyway.
But in my imagination we lived
there and walked the open porch
and sprawling yard and through
the weathered barn and the small
apple trees sprinkled at the foot
of the cliffs in the background
and my dream of owning a small
farm to take in abused and neg-
lected farm animals sprung to
life.
Walking under a moonlit sky on
two mountains all to ourselves is
always a special gift. But to
walk with the promise of a new
season and in the possibility of
dreams is even greater.

Introducing Online Farmers
Markets to NH at the 2014
Farm and Forest Expo
New Hampshire Farmers,
craftsmen and entrepreneurs
were introduced to the concept
of online farmers market.
Online marketing isnt new,
but we have a unique approach
to connecting Small farms and
the consumers in their commu-
nities. Dan Robinson, Site
Administrator
Myfarmersmkt.com is head-
quartered the small town of
South Ryegate, Vermont. The
website offers three major com-
ponents, the first being the
Online Market. Farmers and
Vendors can sell anything here
that you would see at a tradi-
tional market. This includes
anything from vegetables to
woodcrafts for example. The
vendors identify in their pro-
files which local markets they
attend and shoppers indicate
which market they will pick up
their goods at. If the items
being sold can be shipped, the
website also includes that
option.
Bid To Grow is the myfarm-
ersmkt.com concept to intro-
duce local food to restaurants,
schools and other institutions.
Businesses list their food
requirements as a contract on
the website, member farmers
are notified and can review the
contracts and bid to provide the
food on the contract. At the end
of the listing period, the busi-
ness reviews the bids, and
selects the bids that best meets
his needs. The business can use,
farm location, the websites user
ratings and price to select win-
ning bids.
The Farmers Forum is the third
Part of the website. This is a
social media section for farmers
and consumers to exchange
information and experiences.
There is a section for farmers to
place classified ads to sell, one-
time items such as an imple-
ment they no longer need or a
help wanted ad to hire some
help during harvest season.
We tried to keep the website as
simple and user friendly as pos-
sible. Our goal is to connect
farmers with their communities,
and that shouldnt be a compli-
cated process.
The website was met with an
overall positive response at the
Expo, especially from new and
young farmers looking for new
ways to market their products
and several in the food service
industry that want to introduce
their customers to local food.
The Website is signing up new
farms and vendors during the
months of February and March
and opening the website up to
shoppers on April 1st.

be participating in the Granite
State Outdoor Show, sponsored
by The Outdoor Gazette

The NHASTC, a nonprofit
organization, was established
over 20 years ago to chronicle
big game records of Granite
State trophies. The NHASTC
has succeeded in recording over
2000 big game trophies. Copies
of all editions of the New
Hampshire Big Game Record
Book will be on sale at the show.
Also, the NHASTC coordinates
the NH Trophy Deer Program for
deer over 200 lbs. The entire list
of qualifying deer from the 2013
season will be on display.

bles an impressive display of tro-
phy class whitetail deer, black

Town of Warren, NH
ROAD AGENT
3 BOBBY CASS
On Tuesday March 11, 2014
(paid political ad)
Valentines Day was made extra
special to my wife and I as we
took advantage of Calamity
Jane's Valentine Special at her
restaurant in Warren on
February 14. The food was
great with a choice of three
scrumptious meals with all the
delicious trimmings served by a
courteous wait staff.
She also provided an opportu-
nity to bond with neighbors and
friends which is always spe-
cial. Thank you Jane.
Mel and Joanne Hansen,
Warren, NH
To The Editor_____
The entire northern half of the
state has a critically important
election coming up on Town
Meeting Day. We need to elect
a new Executive Councilor to
fill the seat held by the fantastic
champion of the people in this
sprawling district, Ray Burton.
Mike Cryans is the right candi-
date for the position. He has
been endorsed by Rays family
and has worked for years
alongside Ray. Mike knows the
district and has shown his ded-
ication to all the diverse con-
stituencies who make up
District One.
We know how important it is to
have an Executive Council that
holds the best interests of all
New Hampshire residents first
and foremost. In the past when
the Council voted to defund the
states contract for health serv-
ices with Planned Parenthood,
Burton voted to maintain it and
made the right decision for his
constituents. Mike Cryans, like
his predecessor, would support
the Planned Parenthood con-
tract. Candidate Kenney, who
as a State Senator voted to
defund the contract, cannot be
counted on to take the best
interests of New Hampshires
residents into account. Rather
Kenney would put extreme ide-
ology ahead of what is best for
our health and well being.
It matters very much who is on
the Executive Council where
many, many diverse decisions
are made that impact us all.
Mike Cryans will do the right
thing representing all of us in a
considered non-partisan man-
ner, and I encourage everyone
to get out and vote for Mike on
March 11th.
Ruth Cserr
Orford, NH
Ethics & Spending Concerns
about Cryans
Grafton County budget appropri-
ation documents and County
Commissioner meeting minutes
clearly show that, between 2009
and 2014, Commissioner
Michael Cryans voted to give a
total of $143,280.00 in taxpayer
money to an organization
(Headrest, Inc.), which pays him
a substantial salary as its
Executive Director. These
documents also show that, on
April 23, 2012, one of Mr. Cryans
fellow Commissioners asked that
he recuse himself from voting on
this appropriation, due to an
obvious conflict of interest.
Cryans refused to sit out the vote.
My observations of Mr. Cryans at
Grafton County Budget Meetings
have convinced me that he is a
big spender when it comes to tax-
payer money and would likely
continue that behavior if elected
to the Executive Council. Voters
need to ask themselves if they
really want to give Michael
Cryans a third job and yet anoth-
er opportunity to squander tax-
payer money.
All of the factual information
contained in this letter can be
verified by going to the Grafton
County website and viewing the
Budget Appropriation documents
for fiscal years 2010 - 2014 and
the minutes of the relevant
County Commissioner meetings.
The website for Headrest Inc.
will verify Mr. Cryans position
as Executive Director.

Franconia, NH
Bi-Partisan Vote for Mike
Cryans Makes Sense
It has been a privilege to work
with both Ray Burton and Mike
Cryans as my fellow Grafton
County Commissioners for over
six years. I have had the
opportunity of watching these
two dedicated public servants
work in unison on many occa-
sions, with each holding dear
their concerns for our region of
the state and its many chal-
lenges. Now that Ray Burton
has sadly passed on, its time to
select a new Executive
Councilor for District 1. I can
think of no better person than
Mike Cryans to follow Ray, not
as a clone, but with values as
strong as Rays were.
As I tell people, with Mike
Cryans, you get what you see.
Mike Cryans is a special person
with no hidden agenda. He has
a keen respect and sensitivity to
the economic difficulties plagu-
ing many remote areas of north-
ern New Hampshire. Mike has
a genuine desire to help make
life easier through promoting
higher education and more
jobs. Mike Cryans also has a
commitment to economic devel-
opment in District 1, and to pre-
serve the beauty of our environ-
ment and tourism businesses by
opposing the Northern Pass
project and the ridge top wind
projects overlooking our pris-
tine lakes. I know Mike will
work hard to handle many con-
stituent services and get our
Districts citizens voices heard
in Concord.
During the entire time I have
known and worked with Mike
Cryans, he has never said he
needed to vote for or against a
project because he is a
Democrat. He is very proud of
his record reflecting a non-par-
tisan approach to governance
by choosing a process for the
good of the county and its citi-
zens. I feel confident this creed
will follow him to Concord.
A Littleton native, Mike has the
commitment and desire to fol-
low in the footsteps of the illus-
trious late Ray Burton. I urge
you to vote for Mike Cryans for
Executive Council on Tuesday,
March 11 to continue to allow
us to have a strong voice in
Concord for District 1. Thank
you.
Sincerely yours,
Martha Richards Grafton
County Commissioner, Dist. #3
Inever thought that Iwould
actually write a letter to the
editor of a paper, even though I
have thought of it many times!
However, what recently hap-
pened to us here at Burning
Bush Home Center has pushed
the envelope.
While we unfortunately have
had a significant amount of
five finger discounts happen-
ing at the store, which is very
disturbing and financially
painful for the business, what
happened the other day really
takes the cake. Someone had
the audacity to take money out
of the can that we have by the
counter that is for the Food
Pantry here in town!
I understand that these times
are hard, but really, how low
can you go? To take from the
community like that. Well, I
hope that whoever took the 30
or so dollars out of the can for
the Food Pantry will remember
for the rest of their lives what
they did. How sad, I bet there
are very few in this town,
including us here at the
Burning Bush, that would not
help someone that needs it. To
steal like that is pretty low,
shame on you!

Inspiring Words for You!
Dear Friends, The Lord the Shepherd of
His People. Psalm 23.. A Psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He
makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads
me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He
leads me in the paths of righteousness for His
names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You
are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort
me. You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with
oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will
dwell in the house of the Lord, Forever. This psalm
has always been such a comfort for me. I hope it
will be for you. Put your trust in God.

The snow was perfect and
grooming excellent on February
15, 2014 at the Pemi Fish and
Game Club in Holderness for the
first winter biathlon of the season
(two earlier scheduled events
cancelled with poor snow condi-
tions) for the Pemi Mountaineers
(as the Pemis biathlon group is
called).
The event was attended by seven-
teen biathletes and wannabees
who forgave Sochi to compete
more locally. The match class
(more experienced biathletes)
skied 1,000 meters and then shot
five shots with .22 iron sighted
rifles at targets placed 50 meters
away. Each out; back and shoot
is called a Bout and the match
consists of four bouts and a final
out and back and ranking is
determined by elapsed time.
Scores are listed as a hit or miss
with an additional 150 meter
penalty loop added for each miss.
The match class shoots twice
prone (lying down) and twice
offhand (standing up) with the
bulls eyes approximately two
inches diameter (small) for the
prone and five inches (big) for
the offhand stages. Several par-
ticipants chose to snowshoe
instead of ski and they went on a
150 meter loop plus the penalty
loops and shot all four bouts
prone and at big targets.
Top shooters in the match class
(listed by elapsed time and the
number of misses for each bout)
were Oliver Pentinmaki, 40:19
(5-4-2-2); Scott Betournay. 42:16
(4-4-3-5): Ross Roetman, 42:40
(0-1-3-4) and Matt Roy, 43:10
(0-0-5-3). Note that Matt is age
14 and requested to shoot in the
adult match class for his first ever
biathlon .. we will see
more of Matt!
In the snowshoe class, top com-
petitors were; Kaitlyn Morse
(her first biathlon). 20:41 (0-2-0-
0) --note the outstanding shoot-
ing! ; Savannah Thompson (age
12), 28:33 (0-1-1-1) and David
Morse, 28:55 (3-2-3-2).
The next and final winter
biathlon for the season at the
Pemi is scheduled for March 8.
See the club website,
www.pemi.org for details. Click
on Biathlon and on Event
Schedule on the home page for
details or call match director Fred
Allen at 603-968-9944. There
will be five summer events that
include choices of running,
walking, wheelchairs or moun-
tain biking with the shooting.

Hydro Quebec
Scenario Revisited
On Monday, 2/17/14, David
Atkinson of Lancasters piece ran
in the Manchester Union Leader,
Stalled Energy Projects Are
Hurting NH (E-Edition p A07).
Heres what Atkinson doesnt
seem to know.
We in NH would do well to take
a close look at the Churchill Falls
Hydro Electric Project where
Hydro Quebec entered into a
joint venture with the Province of
Newfoundland Labrador (NL).
HQs tactics in NH are chillingly
similar.
James Feehan, Professor of
Economics at Memorial
University in Newfoundland,
delineated the HQ scam of the
Churchill Falls HydroElectric
Project in Newfoundland-
Labrador. Feehan exposed HQs
strategy (through NL Premier
Smallwoods blindsight), to
essentially rob the NL Province
of profits from the Churchill
Falls generator.
Through political wrangling and
conflict of interest, Hydro
Quebec was able to draw up a 44
year contract to buy power for
$2./MWh, which was far below
any alternative prices. In our
terms, this translates to 0.2
cents/kwh, which HQ then sold
for 7-8 cents/kwh. HQ therefore
reaps profits of $1.7 billion/yr.
NL reaps $63 million/yr. If HQ
paid market prices for the low-
cost power from Churchill Falls,
their 2007 profit would be 75
percent lower. Churchill Falls
Labrador Corp.(CFLCo) says
profitability was stripped to the
underwear.
Newfoundland-Labrador is sup-
posed to get back all water rights
in 2041 when the contract
expires. Initially, HQ owned 34.2
percent and NL Provincial
Government owned 65.8 percent
of the shares in Churchill Falls
Labrador Corp (CFLCo).
However, HQ also had a clause
in their 1967 contract that if they
loaned the project money, they
would increase their number of
shares in the project. Once they
own 50.1 percent of the shares,
they can pick their own board
members and effectively take
over the company. The real win-
ners are supposedly the people of
Quebec, who have cheap energy.
In 1974, Bill Mitchell, CBS
reporter, quoted the then NL
Premier Frank Moores as calling
the project the biggest giveaway
in history. The project was com-
pleted 18 months early, within
the budget. NL has been unsuc-
cessful in re-negotiating the
obviously outrageous 0.2
cents/kwh agreed to in the 1967
contract by asleep at the switch
legislators.
This is messy stuff, messy
enough that most people would-
nt want to wade through hours
on the internet comparing the
above reports and checking fig-
ures. In fact, that would suit HQ
just fine, maybe even snow our
legislators into agreeing to con-
tracts that will later horrify NH.
Heres a video for those who
want to see for themselves.
http://www.mun.ca/harriscen-
t r e / p o l i c y / me mo r i a l p r e -
sents/2008c/churchill_falls_vide
o.php
Who would have thought that
keeping well would get so com-
plicated, so fast? That we might
be blindsided into providing a
channel for HQ that would put us
in an equally raw deal. We now
know how HQ gains millions to
perpetuate themselves.
Hopefully, we wont be gullible
enough to do business with them
in their projected NH scam.
There is no reason to think that
Hydro Quebec will be benevo-
lent to New Hampshire. Its time
to look at more reliable alterna-
tives that are more people/envi-
ronmentally friendly.

Snow
It was past dark, but then again
dark had come a bit earlier today.
The steady snow and grey skies
had shadowed out the sun before
it had fully set. Neighbors and
co-workers alike were speculat-
ing about the potency of the
storm. On the roads, flurries had
quickly accumulated. From
highways to town roads, the
plows couldn't quite keep up.
Arriving home, my little vehicle
valiantly made it through the
unplowed snow of the last few
hundred feet to where we park. I
was hopeful that I'd be able to
extricate myself as easily the fol-
lowing morning.
From here, though, is where the
real charm of the snow begins.
By headlamp I stepped my way
through the snow, left right left
right, the third of a mile to our
property and into the drifted
clearing around the cabin.
Beauty. And such silent noise.
It's akin to walking between two
worlds, joined by the tunnel of
our path. The elegance of the
evening's snow and shades of
grey fill the senses. There is the
whispered cacophony of thou-
sands, millions, billions of flur-
ries blanketing the hillocks and
tussocks of our woods. The
heavy, muffled plops of hemlock
boughs throwing snowballs to
the ground drown out the creak-
ing of the trees and the scraping
of a distant plow. An inconsis-
tent wind blusters down the way,
the dull, deep rustle warning of
its approach. I ready myself for
the chill of flurries and snow pel-
lets on my neck, head, cheeks,
the cuffs of my wrists.
Those who find complaints in
winter are not unknown to me,
though, and I recognize the chal-
lenges this season offers up - the
perpetual need for heat, the short
days, the difficulty of moving
across the landscape, the scarcity
of work...but a winter wonder-
land is our trade-off. This is
where we live, and this weather
is what defines our region and
forms the character of us who
call here home. So we relish
these months for what they pro-
vide. The nostalgic aroma of
wood smoke, the warming crack-
le of a fire; the gratitude that a
hot meal summons and the rest-
fulness of early nights; the won-
derful cocoon of a few extra
morning minutes tucked snug
under the covers. Theres, too,
the creativity forthcoming from
time at home: little projects take
form, and energies that go out-
doors in other seasons are direct-
ed indoors for these months. A
length from a young ash tree
becomes a pull-up bar and drying
rack while socks are darned,
books read, and letters written. A
new piece of calligraphy art dons
the kitchen wall.
Theres also the crispness of
early mornings when we get our
exercise early, breaking trail,
then shoveling our vehicles clear
to the town road. While sleep
may still be in our eyes, and the
cold biting at our gloved finger-
tips, we must smile at the invig-
orating start to the day. For after
each fresh blanket of snow that
touches our cabin like tinsel,
theres also the adventurous chal-
lenge of making our way out of
it. So with shovels and snow-
shoes, we greet daybreak as we
head to where we need to be.

Dear EarthTalk: What is the
latest prognosis for wind energy
to command a larger piece of
the renewable energy pie?
-- Peter M., Akron, OH
Hydroelectric sources of power
dwarf other forms of renewable
energy, but wind power has
been a dominant second for
years, and continues to show
hockey stick growth moving
forward. According to the
Global Wind Energy Council
(GWEC), global cumulative
installed wind capacitythe
total amount of wind power
availablehas grown fifty-fold
in less than two decades, from
just 6,100 megawatts (MW) in
1996 to 318,137 MW in 2013.
And the future looks brighter
still. Analysts from Bloomberg
New Energy Finance (BNEF)
predict that wind will account
for the largest share30 per-
centof new renewables added
to the global power grid by
2030. That new renewables are
expected to account for as much
as 70 percent of all new power
sources over the next 20 years
means that wind is poised to
become a major player on the
global energy scene.
Here in the U.S., energy gener-
ated by domestic wind farms
has nearly tripled in just the
past four years, despite a brief
hiccup due to a lapse in the
Production Tax Credit, a renew-
able energy production incen-
tive that effectively subsidizes
the creation of more wind
farms. But even despite this,
wind represented about a third
of all new power added to the
U.S. grid over the past five
years. The Natural Resources
Defense Council (NRDC), a
leading environmental non-
profit and wind power advo-
cate, forecasts that the U.S. will
derive some 20 percent of its
total electricity production from
wind by 2030.
The U.S. industry has many
reasons for favorable long-term
prospects, reports the
American Wind Energy
Association (AWEA), a non-
profit trade group representing
the wind industry. In addition
to the record activity at the end
of 2013, wind energy helped
keep the lights on and insulate
against temporary price spikes
during the recent polar vortex
cold weather snap, demonstrat-
ing the value of wind power in
a balanced energy portfolio.
AWEA also points out recent
reports showing how incorpora-
tion of wind energy lowers
costs for electric consumers.
And critical to some parts of
the country facing continuing
drought, wind energy uses no
water in its production, as well
as releasing no emissions,
adds the group.
The fact that wind energy in the
U.S. avoids some 100 million
tons of carbon dioxide emis-
sions annually is also good
news. AWEA adds that that
number will grow as wind ener-
gy scales up to 20 percent of the
grid and beyond making the
addition of more wind power
one of the fastest, cheapest, and
largest-scale ways for states to
meet the Administrations new
goals for reducing carbon pollu-
tion from power plants.
While wind continues to grow
fast, solar may finally be catch-
ing up. According to BNEF,
some 36.7 gigawatts (GW) of
new solar photovoltaic capacity
were added worldwide in 2013
compared with 35.5 GW worth
of new wind power installa-
tions. BNEF adds that global
demand for wind turbines may
actually shrink in 2014 (by five
percent), representing the first
such decline since 2004. But
Justin Wu, head of wind analy-
sis for BNEF, says its just a
temporary blip: Falling tech-
nology costs, new markets and
the growth of the offshore
industry will ensure wind
remains a leading renewable
energy technology.

Dr. John Albert Bagonzi, Jr., 83
of Woodsville, New Hampshire
passed away on February 13.
Born in 1930 to John Bagonzi
and Ida (Maccini) Bagonzi, John
attended Woodsville High
School, where he teamed with
life-long friend, former Red Sox
pitcher Bob Smith, as a notorious
pitching duo. While at WHS, he
was a 20-game winner and multi-
sport All-State athlete. John
attended the University of New
Hampshire, where he earned a
B.S. degree in Biology and was a
standout dual sport baseball and
basketball athlete, with many of
his records still standing today.
While at UNH, John was regard-
ed as the top collegiate pitching
prospect in New England and
scouted by all major league
teams. John signed a bonus con-
tract with the Red Sox in 1953
and was assigned to their San
Francisco AAA affiliate.
Next came a military service
interruption, where as a commis-
sioned officer in the U.S. Army,
John served as company com-
mander, military trial counsel and
athletic and recreation officer.
While in the military, he pitched
for 2 years in the strong Fort
Jackson Regimental baseball
league. It was during this time
that John met and married his
cherished, life-long companion,
the former Dreamer Jewel Deese
of Columbia, South Carolina.
After his service, John returned
to professional baseball, with the
Corning Red Sox and Chicago
Cubs organizations, where an
arm injury ended his professional
career. By this time, he had com-
pleted his masters degree at
Indiana University and begun to
pursue his Ph.D.
At this point, John returned to
Woodsville where he would
make his greatest impact, begin-
ning a teaching and coaching
career at Woodsville High
School. While at his Alma
Mater, John served as Athletic
Director, PE director, Biology
teacher, Baseball, Basketball,
Soccer and Cross-country Coach.
John also served as Woodsvilles
Youth Recreation Program
Director for 25 years. As an edu-
cator, Dr. Bagonzi achieved
Teacher-of- the-Year honors as
well as being recognized as an
outstanding academician. In ath-
letics, his true passion, John
became one of the most success-
ful New Hampshire coaches ever.
Between 1959 and 1977, he over-
saw 13 combined championship
teams and seven runners-up.
There was even a cross-country
title in 1972. John led the base-
ball program to 261 victories,
seven New Hampshire
Interscholastic Athletic
Association state titles and a 35-
game winning streak. He also
was a successful boys basketball
coach, as he led the program to
361 victories, five state champi-
onships and a 62-game winning
streak. Johns basketball teams
finished second in the state tour-
nament three times and had 20
consecutive seasons with win-
ning records. On five occasions,
Bagonzi led teams in those two
sports to state championships
during the same school year.
During this time, John also com-
pleted his Ph.D. at Indiana
University. He was at WHS for
33 years, retiring in 1991 then
began a 4-year stint as Head
Coach of the Plymouth State
University baseball team and
taught in their Graduate School.
John and Dreamer were also pro-
prietors of the Italian-American
Bagonzis Restaurant, a popular
Woodsville, NH eatery started by
his mother, for 27 years from
which both retired.
After retirement, John contin-
ued to mentor athletes through-
out the Northeast via his
Championship Pitching Clinics,
as a nationally-recognized pitch-
ing clinician/instructor, through
his books, The Act of Pitching
and The Inner Sanctum, numer-
ous articles in prominent baseball
journals, and his popular website
http://pitchingprofessor.com/.
Coach Bagonzi was a sought-
after nation-wide motivational
speaker and pitching instructor
and was selected as one of the
Top 50 sports figures in NH for
the Past Century by the Boston
Globe. With recognition and
accolades too numerous to list,
he was most proud of his induc-
tion into the New Hampshire
Interscholastic Athletic Hall of
Fame, the University of New
Hampshire Athletic Hall of
Fame, the New Hampshire
Coaches Hall of Fame, the New
England Basketball Hall of
Fame, the Union Leader Coaches
Hall of Fame, and the National
Federation of State High School
Associations National High
School Hall of Fame. He was
touched and humbled by
Woodvilles renaming of its
Community Building in his
honor and took great joy in track-
ing his pitching protgs college
and professional careers as well
as the life-long visits of his stu-
dents who transitioned to friends
and colleagues. Johns most
recent project involved complet-
ing the Golden Age Museum, a
collection of his personal and
Woodsville athletic memorabilia.
John is survived by his wife
Dreamer of Woodsville and their
3 children, John III (wife
Elizabeth) of Falmouth, ME,
Teresa Godoy (husband Franco)
of Newport News, VA, and
Robert (wife Jolie) of Bluffton,

Allison, Jack, Jonathan and
Gabrielle which he cherished
dearly.
