Berman’s Bits
by Dave Berman
Greetings, and thanks for
joining me for another week.
Starting us off are a few
news stories you may have
missed. First, an historical
theme park in France is
training six crows to pick up
cigarette butts and rubbish
to help keep it clean. Nicolas
de Villiers, president of the
park, said the initiative
would show visitors that
nature itself could teach
them to care for the environ-
ment. He said: "The goal is
not just to clear up, because
the visitors are generally
careful to keep things
clean.” Each time the rook
drops a piece of rubbish or

cigarette butt into the box,
they will be rewarded with a
small nugget of food.
[news.sky.com] Now, if we
can just train people.
Next, never take a
sword…. Police in Nebraska
are looking for a sword-
wielding man who exposed
himself to another man. The
second man, 26, told police
he was sitting in his car
about 4:30 a.m. after walk-
ing his dog when a naked
man with a sword
approached him. The naked
man tapped the driver's side
window with the sword; the
26-year-old grabbed his rifle
from the vehicle, chasing the
nearby. Police have only a
generic description of the
naked man. [Bizarre News] I
am glad my life is relatively
normal.
Finally, with friends like
these…. A student preparing
to graduate from a Texas
university incorporated a
nearly 14-foot alligator
named Big Tex into her
graduation photos.
Makenzie Alexis Noland,
21, who is graduating next
week from Texas A&M
University, held her gradua-
tion photo shoot at Gator
County, an alligator sanctu-
ary where Noland has been
interning since May. One of
the photos shows Noland
placing her class ring on the
snout of a 13-foot, 8-inch
gator named Big Tex. "He's
one of my best friends here,"
Noland said. Noland said
she is hoping to use her

I grieve for our future. A
teenage “Satanist” has been
arrested after he allegedly
confessed to destroying one
of Russia’s most historic
churches in an arson attack.
The wooden Dormition
in 1774 by Catherine the
Great - and burned down in
a raging inferno last week.
Schoolboy Ignat Sharapov,
15 - whose social media is
full of Satanist signs and
images - has told police he

year-old son. You know

I have been so out of

movie called “Sharktopus

found “Sharktopus vs.

603-536-3400 especially if the jokes were,
well, at all questionable. To
me a good joke is a good
joke with no offense intend-
shoulders. I hate necks."
I was heading to a wed-
ding rehearsal and found my
body needing a snack, so I
stopped at a small restaurant
at Loon and only got a bottle
of Dasani water and a one-
ounce bag of air with a few
Sun Chips dropped in.
Those two things cost me
$5.75. Almost like going to
the movies (except I don’t
go to the movies).
Guinness World Records
has just declared a Japanese
couple as its oldest living
married couple. Masao
Matsumoto, 108, and his
100-year-old blushing bride,
Miyako Sonoda, got hitched
Oct. 20, 1937, nearly 81
years ago. Their combined
set fire to the structure by
using five liters of gas to
ignite its dry timber. An
expert said it will cost about
$1.3 million dollars to
reconstruct the 138 ft church
in northern Russia. A law
enforcement source said:
“He classifies himself as a
Satanist. Allegedly he just
did not like the church.”
[www.mirror.co.uk]
Finally, "I don't like coun-
try music, but I don't mean
to denigrate those who do.
And for the people who do
like country music, 'deni-
grate' means 'put down.’”
(Ouch, that was harsh [btw, I
do like country music]).

Adventures in
Homesteading
Rafters & A Roof
The woodshed’s rafters and
roof - are completed! The
rafters were affixed some
weeks ago, sufficiently far
enough removed from the
immediate past that the
details of their completion are
less distinct in my memory.
There were some moments of
tension as Ryan and I mus-
cled warped wood into place,
Beth

essarily extensive, debate
over which nails and which
metal ties to use. I suppose
the heat got the better of our
hearts and minds that day.
Nevertheless, we made it
through and ended the day
united in the pleasant satis-
faction of making progress.
We then had a few week
lull before we set about con-
structing the roof. One day
was largely spent cutting
rying all materials into the
property. By this point the
hot, dry weather of June and
early-July had been replaced
by the ample humidity and
wet days of late-July and
August. It was muddy,
muggy work getting every-
thing in to our homestead
clearing. We laid the first
couple rows of boards to start
the roof, and left the rest for
a second day.
A second day, which
arrived not long after! At this
point we could create a
rhythm and a rhyme to our
work: measuring, sawing,
squaring, naiuling, repeat.
The length of the shadow
roof steadily covered the
rafters. After the more
tedious work of creating a
square, plum, level, you-
name-it skeleton, laying the
roof boards was easy work.
Nailing each length into place
was simple and satisfying.
Best of all, the view! I partic-
ularly enjoyed this elevated
terrace we’d made, with an
angle perfect for finding fig-
ures in the clouds, or enjoy-
ing the view-from-above on
the garden. It was a short-
lived delight, however; once
the tar paper and metal roof-
ing were in place (the next
day), it became a scorching
hot locale from which to take
Since then, we’ve also
created the two interior walls,
in this 3-bay woodshed, and
leveled pallets for holding
rows of firewood. The con-
struction of the three exterior
walls may still be a few
weeks away. The essentials
are done now, though, which
means all the split firewood
that has been piled beside the
shed site can now get under
cover and begin drying more
effectively. That stacking is
next on the to-do list; walls
will come after that. Those
two tasks comprise the third
and final part of this wood-
shed saga, which will certain-
ly occupy us for the next few

Of Paige Computer Services
Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer
With today’s technology our
children practically live on
the internet. .Here are some
tips on protecting your chil-
dren while they are on the
internet and what parents
should do to make surfing
the internet a safe place for
their children. The Internet
can be a safe environment
for children to surf if certain
guidelines are established
between the parents and chil-
dren.
The internet is not evil; I’ve
heard people say that they
are afraid of what may hap-
pen if they go on the internet.
When you go on the internet
it opens a whole new world
of adventure and communi-
cation. I compare surfing the
internet to driving a car,
know where you are going,
am aware of where you are,
and keep your eyes open to
any hidden dangers that may
come your way. There is
inappropriate material on the
internet, and there have been
cases where children have
been victimized by serious
crime from the internet.
Children can greatly reduce
the risks by following some
simple guidelines.
Never give out personnel
information—home address,
school, name or telephone
number or e-mail—in a pub-
lic chat, message or bulletin
board, that information is
available for all to see not
only your friends. Think
carefully before revealing
your age, marital status or
financial information.
Get to know what service
your child is using. Is it
Myspace.com or another
website? If you don’t know
logon and have your child
show you where they go.
Find out what information
the site offers, what content
is available and any ways to
block objectionable material.
Never respond to messages
that are obscene or sugges-
tive, belligerent, threatening,
or make you feel uncomfort-
able. Encourage your chil-
dren to tell you if they
encounter such messages. If
you or your child should
receive such messages for-
ward those to your internet

With Eli Heath
service provider so appropri-
ate action can be taken.
Never allow a child to
arrange a face to face meet-
ing with another computer
user without parent’s permis-
sion. If a meeting is arranged
make it a public spot, and be
sure you go with your child.
Be aware people are not
always what they seem to be
on the internet. What may
appear to be a innocent con-
versation between your child
and another child may be a
40 year old man posing as a
child.
Remember if it seems too
good to be true on the inter-
net it probably isn’t true.
Log your child’s chat con-
versation. Yahoo and AIM
allow you to save a copy of
the chat log to the computer.
That is important should the
information be needed to
prosecute a potential suspect.
Should your children com-
plain about there privacy, sit
down and talk to them,
explain why it is important
and the dangers lurking on
the internet.
Have the computer located in
the family room where you
can monitor your child’s
internet activity.
Have a written contract with
your children on Internet
Do’s and Don’ts, one may be
found on
www.missingkids.com
There are several commer-
cial computer programs that
can be purchased that will
help monitor and protect
your children while on the
internet. There is Net Nanny
from www.netnanny.com or
Cyber Patrol
w w w. c y b e r p a t r o l . c o m .
There is also a hardware
device called iBoss from
www.iphantom.com which
e-mails chat logs to your e-
mail account.
I hope this information will
be helpful so you and your
children can surf the internet
with a feeling of security.
Please e-mail me

have any questions or com-
ments call (603)747-2201.

The Birds of Middle
Earth
Author: Laurie D.
Morrissey
I usually hear the kingfisher
before I see it. If I’m reading
by the lake, its harsh, rattling
call gets my attention. I look
up to see the flashy blue-and-
white bird fly to a new perch
or hover over the water scan-
ning for small fish and cray-
fish. If I’m kayaking, I try to
follow it along the shore as it
moves from one overhanging
limb to another. This lasts for
about two moves: they are
easily disturbed and are fast
fliers.
Stalking the bird recently, I
began to wonder about its
nest. As common as belted
kingfishers are, I didn’t
know anything about their
domestic arrangements. As it
turns out, my kingfishers
likely consider this lake bet-
ter for noshing than nesting.
The lake’s rock-bound shore
lacks the type of steep earth-
en bank the birds need to dig
a burrow. Kingfishers are
among the few birds in North
America that nest in cavities
they excavate themselves.
Kingfishers raise their five to
eight chicks deep within the
bank of a river, lake, or wet-
land, at the end of a tunnel.
Three to six feet of depth is
typical, though some extend
