The Legacy Of One Bear - Sara (ID 225)__

Continued from page A1
legacy of one of those bears

Sara (#225) who started her
life in January 1972.
Sara was born in a warm den in

January, just as hundreds of
other bear cubs are born in
Maine. This den would be her
home for 3 months, where she
would nurse, gain strength, and
develop from a 12 ounce, nearly hairless creature; into a
bright-eyed 8 pound miniature
bear. When she left the sanctuary of her den that spring, she
would follow her mother
throughout the summer and den
with her again through the next
winter. Most likely, in June of
1973, weighing only 30-40
pounds, she left her mother for
good and took on the challenges
of surviving alone in the vast
forest lands of northern Maine.
efforts were being made by the

Maine Department of Inland
Fisheries & Wildlife (MDIFW)
to start a research project to
gain a better understanding of
bears in Maine. The section of
woods that Sara bear was born
into was chosen to be one of the
study areas for the bear project.
Biologists began capturing
bears to monitor their survival,
general health, and reproduction in 1975. MDIFW used this
information to develop a bear
management system and a monitoring program that is still used
today to monitor the status of
Maine's bear population.
Although MDIFW wildlife

biologists began capturing
bears in 1975, Sara managed to
escape capture until August 11,
1980. On that day she was captured with a cable foot restraint,
given the study identification
number of 225, and named

every other year thereafter. So,

this was likely Saras second litter of cubs. One of these yearlings was a female (ID 236)
who weighed a remarkable 63

northern Maine in the fall.
Unfortunately, the nuts were
not abundant that year, forcing
bears to den very early and in
poor condition. When biologists visited Sara in her den in
March of 1982, they found her
to be very thin, weighing just
100lbs and had no cubs with
her. At 10 years old, Sara was
entering the prime years of her
life. Other mature females were
experiencing similar struggles.
Very few cubs were born this
years old and had grown to 150
pounds. She was fitted with a
radio collar that emitted signals
that could be used to locate her
either from a plane or on the
ground. From this point forward, Sara, as well as many
other female bears, would be
visited in her den each winter
by biologists who would document her successes and failures
at producing and raising cubs.

winter in the forests of northern

Maine.
Bears are well adapted to being

able to survive lean times and
take advantage of plentiful food
sources when they are available. As is often the case, the
extremely lean year of 1981
was followed by an extraordinarily bountiful year for these
bears. The next fall, they foraged on an abundant crop of
beechnuts late into the fall and
entered dens in remarkably
good shape.
When recaptured on March 24,

1983 Sara had nearly doubled
her weight in the year since she
had last been seen in the den.
Snuggled under her were 3
healthy female cubs Clara (Id
454), Belle (ID 455), and Karen
(ID 456). All 3 were radio collared as yearlings the following
winter and a matriarchal
dynasty began to take shape.
Karen and all her cubs were

studied over the next 20 years
until 2003 when her radio signal failed due to a faulty battery
connection installed by the
manufacturer. That was a tough
loss to the research team and

UNH Cooperative Extension Master

Gardner Program For The North Country__
White Mountains Community College, 646 Union Street,

Littleton, NH, on Mondays and Wednesdays, September 9
November 16, 6-9:00 pm, excluding October 12 and November
11.
Do you love gardening and sharing your experiences with others?

Consider becoming a Master Gardener volunteer for UNH
Cooperative Extension to fulfill this unique opportunity to share
the knowledge and experiences gained from our training to educate individuals, organizations and communities in New
Hampshires North Country. This class is held in Concord and
Goffstown, but due to the support of the White Mountains
Community College we are able to bring it to Littleton this fall.
Prerequisites are a demonstrated personal commitment to volunteerism, a passion for gardening and learning, and enthusiasm for
sharing your knowledge with others.
The educational component of the Master Gardener Volunteer

Program consists of training in a classroom setting with individual and group work and hands-on activities. Instructors will provide an overview of: major horticultural subjects with emphasis
on growing in our northern climate, environmentally sound gardening practices, season extension, food safety and preservation,
and poultry production. Students are also introduced to the practical aspects of becoming a volunteer Extension Educator: risk
management, project management, public speaking, communications, team dynamics, computer skills and problem-solving.

efforts to recapture her the following spring were unsuccessful. She may still be roaming
those woods at 32 years old.
Karens sister, Belle (ID 455),

gave birth to her first litter of 2
cubs in 1989 when she was 6
years old. One of these cubs
was a female, Josie (ID 1048).
This bear, the granddaughter of
Sara, has provided reproductive
information the next 26 years of
her life. By the time she was in
her teens, Josie grew to become
the largest female bear in the
study area. The biologists were
able to document 11 of her litters, including one male (ID
3390) this winter (2015), setting a record for the oldest
female to give birth in the study
(a record previously held by 2
females at 25 years old).
Over 3000 research bears have

been handled between the time
of Saras first capture and when
Josie and her young male cub
were handled on March 20,
2015. Sara had 11 offspring
which produced 18 grandchildren (2 are still being monitored); 32 great grandchildren
(5 are currently being monitored); 31 great-great grandchildren (7 are currently being
monitored); and 13 great, great,
great grandchildren (2 of which
are being monitored). 105 different bears have been tagged
that are direct descendants of
Sara, representing 6 generations
of bears. Sixteen of these, now
equipped with radio collars, are
providing reproductive information in this study area.
Unlike males, who instinctively
will roam many miles from

where they were raised, females
reside very close to where they
were born. All of these females
in this family line live within a
few miles of where Sara was
first captured back in 1980.
(Again, I would like to thank

Emily MacCabe and the folks
from Maine Department of
Inland Fisheries & Wildlife for
allowing us the opportunity to
share this great story!)
The class costs $175 with the option of purchasing the handbook
for $25 (on-line version is free). We must receive applications by
July 15. Class size is limited.

that got me thinking (uh-oh). If
the four of us had, say, burgers
and a beverage vs. four specials, there would be quite a
significant difference in bill
totals, which is what most of us
base our tips on. The waitress
wrote the order, submitted it,
brought the food to us, and

The

into the back door of his mother-in-laws mobile home a
distance of about 100 yards.
Then it went through the recliner where the 74-year-old
woman was sitting and into her

taken to a nearby hospital and is
expected to recover. Officials
have not said whether McElroy
faces any charges for the shooting. James Morgan, the

armadillos is recommended for
residents that live in the county,
or a trap can be used to capture
them. At first I ask if they live

shooting is an effective way of
getting rid of them. However,

Climbing a mountain isnt easy
but if you are bound and determined to do some 4,000-footers,
heres ten you may consider easier.
The Adventures
of Tom & Atticus
Having said that, I dont believe

there is such a thing as an easy
4000-foot mountain.
New
Hampshire trails are rugged and
there is a lack of those things
known as switchbacks in other
areas of the country which make
many of the trails steeper than
you might think.
Mount Eisenhower: Like I just

said, it has an even better view
than Mount Pierce. Mount
Washington looms above you
like a beast. This is perhaps one
of the best places in the White
Mountains where a perspective
of Mount Washington is best
seen. Beware of the large cairn
on the summit; it typically has a
nest in it with plenty of flying
and stinging beasts. If you are
not coming from the Crawford
Path, take the Edmands Path and
the Mount Eisenhower Loop.
This is a 6.6 mile round trip with
2,750 feet of elevation gain.
Mount Jackson: This, like

Eisenhower and Pierce, is also on
the Southern Presdidential string
of mountains heading down from
Mount Washington. Its Pierces
next door neighbor. Straight up
and back from Crawford Notch
by way of the Webster-Jackson
Trail is 5.2 miles and 2,150 feet
of elevation gain. In the winter
weve often done the straight
shot, but in better weather its fun
to string other mountains along
the way. A popular route is to
add on Mount Webster (not a
4,000-footer). This loop is 6.5
miles and 2,400 feet of elevation.
Mount Waumbek: Most hikers

dont seem to like Waumbek.
Im not one of them. The woods
have an entirely different feel to
them. Old Mans Beard, a tangle
of wild bayou-like moss, clings
to trees both dead and alive. It
feels like you are walking
through an enchanted graveyard
and the wind can whistle and
howl over the last mile to the
summit sounding like the moan
of a ghost. Gray Jays will also
visit on this route, usually on
Mount Starr King, a mile from
the top of Waumbek. The hike is
7.2 miles and the elevation gain
is 2,700 feet. Its deceptive
though. Ive always found the
most taxing part of the hike to be
the very first mile or so along the
Starr King Trail. After that it
seems easy. There is a view of

the Presidential Range from Starr

King, but to get one on
Waumbek, you need to walk
beyond the summit a hundred
yards or so.
Mount Tecumseh: People look at

Tecumseh as only a 5.0 mile
round trip with a summit height
tied for the shortest (with
Isolation) at 4,003 feet as nothing
special, but dont be fooled.
Technically, this is one of the easiest 48, but there is a never-ending second mile that is punishing.
It feels like a Stairmaster. For a
twist, on the way down, I like to
cut across the Sosman Trail, just
below the summit, to the top of
the ski area. On the far side there
is a dirt access road down the
mountain. I prefer descending
this way because it opens up to
views of the Sandwich Range,
including the Osceolas and the
Tripyramids. If you stick to the
trail it is a 5.0 mile round trip and
2,300 feet of elevation gain.
Mount Osceola: Its fair to say

that the summit of Mount
Osceola could be considered one
of the best places in the White
Mountains to catch views. The
trail is deceptive over the first
quarter of a mile as you make
your way through a boulderstrewn trail. It gets easier than
this. This list does not come in
any order, but this may be one of
the easiest trails. The Mount
Osceola Trail is 6.4 miles
roundtrip with 2,050 feet of elevation gain. Add in the summit of
viewless East Osceola, if you
wish, by doing another mile each
way.
Mount Hale: Hale is a lot like

Tecumseh. Its only 2.2 miles
each way but the problem with
short distances is that you start
your climb sooner. The Hale
Brook Trail offers 2,300 feet of

elevation gain in those 2.2 miles.
(The AMCs White Mountain
Guide states that a 1,000-feet of
elevation gain in a mile. That
tells you how short but not so
sweet the climb is.) But in comparison, you can get up and down
Hale rather quickly when considering other 4,000-footers.
Cannon Mountain:
Count
Cannon in with the short but
tough buggers Hale and
Tecumseh. The Kinsman Ridge
Trail is a straight shot to the top
in 2.2 miles with 2,200 feet of
elevation gain. Most of the hard
work comes in the first mile and
there are places where the trail is
so rough with tumbled rocks
youll wonder if you are on a trail
at all. The selling point of this
trail, which makes it one of my
favorites in all the mountains,
and worth the risk of twisting a
knee or an ankle, are Cannon
Cliffs, one of the best views in
the mountains. They sit above
where the Old Man used to watch
over New Hampshire. From
there its a rather easy jaunt and
hop to the summit where you can
find tourists. Like Gray Jays,
they will also eat nearly anything.
Mount Garfield: Garfield was the

first 4,000-footer Atticus and I
climbed together. At the time it
seemed very difficult but as the
years have gone on I realize its
one of the easiest. The round trip
is ten miles, which may not seem
easy, but the view from the summit makes it all worth it. The elevation gain is a moderate grade
with only 3,000 climbed in the
five miles up the trail. Compare
that with Cannon, Hale, and
Tecumseh and youll see why I
think this is so easy.

April, whats left of it anyway, is

a fine time to fine tune some wish
lists for most hikers, especially
beginners. This past Sunday
Atticus and I were down in
Massachusetts at a book singing
and one of the most commonly
asked questions was from those
wanting to climb a mountain, or a
4000-footer. The answer depends
on too many variables. For
instance: the month, the trail conditions (snow still?), the weather
that day (too windy for above
treeline?), and the persons conditioning. Ignoring all those factors and considering all things to
be in optimal condition for a late
spring or summer hike, and not
taking any responsibility for your
wellbeing, here are ten of the
easier 4000-footers to climb.
Mount Pierce: Walk up the

Crawford Path, the oldest continuously used hiking trail in the
country, about 3.0 miles, bang a
u-turn and walk another 0.2 of a
mile. Youre above treeline just
and the views will leave you
wanting more. Just a mile up the
trail is the summit of Mount
Eisenhower which has an even
better view.
Mount Tom: Across the way in

Crawford Notch from the
Crawford Path is one of the gateways to the Willey Range. From
left to right are Mount Willey,
Mount Field, and Mount Tom.
Tom on its own is considered one
of the easier climbs. Take the
Avalon Trail, the A-Z Trail, and
the Mount Tom Spur Trail. Its a
total of 5.8 miles and 2,250 feet
of elevation gain. There are two
viewpoints at the top. One is
toward the Presidential Range
and the other is on the backside
with
a
view
into
the
Pemigewasset Wildnerness. The
second is the true summit. The
Willey Range is famous for Gray
Jays and their boldness in asking
for treats. The best photo ops are
found having one of them eat out
of your hand or you can get just
as bold as the birds by placing
some granola on your head. Yes,
they will land on you and eat it.
Just hope they dont leave anything else behind.

Dear Friends,
For the last four years I have

written a monthly news column to
inform my constituents on what is
happening in Concord and in the
District.
This months column is different
it is a call to action.
I am asking you to reach out to

the Governor and tell her to support our seniors and our most
vulnerable citizens and not take
$7 million from nursing homes,
mid-level care, and home health
care in New Hampshire.
While much of the focus in the

news has been on the theft of
funds to the private and county
nursing homes, I am just as concerned about the devastation that
will be caused to home care,
home health, and mid-level
careto the tune of over $10 million ($5.1 in state general funds
and a matching amount from the
federal government) should the
Governors raid prevail.
services: non-medical services

that can be provided by unlicensed caregivers (personal
care, meals, adult medical day
care, home modification services,
adult in-home care, etc.) at home.
Senate Bill 8, which tells the
Governor to follow the law,
passed the Senate 16 to 8 on a
roll call vote. Although it turned
out that waythis should not
have been a partisan issue.
Imagine my surprise when the
majority of Senate Democrats
voted against the bill, which
would send the money back to the
nursing homes and home health
care agencies. The bill is now in
the House Finance Committee
for consideration.
During testimony in the House

last week, the CEO of the Granite
State Home Health Association,
which
represents
New
Hampshires home health/visiting

these agencies provide a full
range of services to Medicaid
clients including those enrolled

py, etc.) at home.
Many agencies have made the
Home support waiver difficult decision not to accept
new CFI clients because NH

Medicaid doesnt cover the costs.
Taking funds from the home and
community-based care lines to
fill a deficit rather than adequately paying providers is
irresponsible and short-sighted.
The NH Department of Health &

Human Services (DHHS) promotes the idea that people should
stay in their homes for as long as
possible before going to a nursing homeso starving those
agencies that provide these services is not a smart decision. If
the agencies lose money on every
client they serve and stop taking
these clients, who will care for
our fragile seniors?
Senate Bill 8 prevents DHHS

from funding its deficit on the
backs of already inadequately
paid home care agencies, assisted living facilities and nursing
homes. It requires DHHS to use
its budgeted funds for their
intended purpose - assuring that
the states most vulnerable seniors have access to the care they
need.
I thought that the Governor
would listen to all those who
called, wrote, and visited the
State House.
I thought the Governor would

yield her position, when she
learned that the Senate passed
the bill or when she learned that
the House put language in the
budget to restore these funds.
I was sure she would realize that

the budget she signed into law
contained specific language to
prevent what she is now trying to
do.
I was wrong.
It is now very clear what

Governor Hassans priorities
are, and they certainly are not
our most vulnerable seniors.
Please join me in this fight to

support our seniors. We must
fight to keep them in their homes
for as long as possibleand
when they are at the point of
needing nursing home carethat
there are nursing homes able to
welcome them.
Call Governor Hassan at (603)

271-2121 and tell her to follow
the law. Its time to return these
funds to nursing homes and home
health care agencies.
As always, I want to hear from

you. If you have a concern you'd
like to share, an event you'd like
me to attend, or a problem you
think I might be able to help with-please call ((603) 271-4980) or

Adventures in
Homesteading
Espalier
This Spring Ive tried something
new: espalier. The official definition reads: a fruit tree or ornamental shrub whose branches are
trained to grow flat against a
wall, supported on a lattice, or a
framework of stakes. In my case
it was an artistic answer to an
inconvenient problem. A few
Springs ago, after completing the
cabin and making it through our
first winter, I had planted a handful of young fruit trees - pears,
peaches, and apples - to complement the walnut, blueberries,
raspberries, and old apples
already present on our homestead. Of these small rootstock
plantings, the most vigorous was

Weick
a Northern Spy apple. It is one of

my favorite apples to eat, and the
tree itself is a vigorous, uprightgrowing variety. I had planted it
some distance off the northeast
corner of the cabin, behind the
then-garden space, and in front of
the mess of slash, brush, and
stump sprouts that characterized
the back half of our clearing
which we had yet to tame and
utilize.
The dirt was rich in this area, and

the tree thrived under direct sunlight. It seemed like an ideal
spot. Then last year, fortuitous
upcycling and an unanticipated
project left us with second-hand
carport pieces and a collection of

tants such as birdfeeders and

unsecured garbage continue to
be the cause of nearly half the
annual complaints. Addressing
these attractants would significantly reduce bear-human conflicts.
The rate of bear/human conflicts that will occur this spring

and summer is difficult to predict. "Bears went to den in good
shape in most areas, due to generally abundant acorn crops last
fall. However, it has been a long
denning season, and bears have
depleted considerable body
fat," says Timmins. "When
bears emerge, they will be hungry and food will be limited
until spring green-up occurs.
We are hoping homeowners
will be vigilant and remove or
secure food attractants so as not
to entice bears and create nuisance behavior."
Homeowners should take

action to reduce the chances of
a bear visiting their home.
Avoid encounters with bears by
taking a few simple precautions:
Stop all bird feeding by April

1.
Clean up any spilled birdseed
and dispose of it in the trash.
Secure all garbage in airtight
containers inside a garage or
adequate storage area, and put
garbage out on the morning of
pickup, not the night before. If
using a dumpster, inform your
dumpster company that you
need a dumpster with metal
locking tops and doors that are
inaccessible to bears and other
wildlife.
Avoid putting meat or other
food scraps in your compost
pile.
Don't leave pet food dishes
outside overnight.
Clean and store outdoor grills
after each use.
Finally, never feed bears!
These steps will help to ensure

that your backyard does not
become attractive to bears and
other wildlife, which is important because it prevents property damage by bears and because
it keeps bears from becoming
nuisance animals.

Dear Friends, how is your prayer life

going? Do you pray at all? Prayer
becomes a necessity when we realize that we
need God's help. Does prayer guide our lives, or
is it our last resort when trouble strikes? We
sometimes fall into the habit of making plans
and then asking God to bless them, or praying
only in moments of desperation. God does
want us to turn to Him in moments of need. But
He also wants us to remember that we need
Him all the time Prov. 3:5-6.. Dear God, please
guide me as I walk through this life. Help me
not to act only by my own wisdom, but to seek
Your will in every situation. Don't forget to
pray! God bless you all!

Warren Students Shine At Destination Imagination Tournament_____________________________________
On Saturday, March 14, three

Destination Imagination (DI)
teams from the Warren Village
School finally got their chance
to take center stage and present
their team challenge solutions
at the 2015 Berlin Regional
Tournament. Warrens K-2nd
grade Rising Stars team performed in the Animal Mish
Mash Challenge.
The
Elementary team presented
their adventure story in the
Technical category Creature
Feature.
And Warrens
Middle School team took 3rd
place for performing their original fairy tale in the Fine Arts
category Feary Tale.
DI is unique in its focus on student-led creativity, problem

solving, innovation, leadership,
and teamwork challenges.
Through building their own
props, designing their own costumes, and writing and performing their own solutions and
stories, the Warren students
worked on their chosen challenges weekly, beginning all the
way back in October. Team
Managers Amber Kingsbury
and Hailey Wetherbee guided
the youngsters through all their
hard work. Their dedication
and service to the Warren students and the DI experience
created a wonderful forum for
the youngsters to build valuable
21st century skills.
DI is offered as part of the

Once all the maintenance tasks
are completed, we're ready to
establish some baseline measurements.
Quantifying the maintenance

results
When comparing most things,
it's almost always useful to
have some measurements that
are objective and repeatable.
Numbers might not tell the
whole story, but they can tell a
very important part of it.
For example, the main reason to

remove junk files is to increase
disk space and the best
measurement for junk-file
removal is whether you have
more space and how much.
Likewise, the only way to know
whether a maintenance tool has
improved startup and shutdown
times is to time them.
For this series, I took my initial,

baseline measurements immediately after completing the
test-system's tune-up. Most of
the recommended measurements are a cinch to do and take
only a few minutes.
Here's what I measured, and
how you can perform the same Registry size: Some commermeasurements:
