Greetings, and thanks for
joining me for another week.
Starting us off are a few
news stories you may have
missed. First, this gets my
goat! So you've ritualistical-
ly decapitated your goat,
drained the blood, used it to
draw all the necessary sigils,
and displayed the head in the
manner prescribed by the
ancient temple of Baphomet.
Now, what do you do with
the body? Apparently in
Georgia the preferred
method of disposal is to
dump it in the river, and offi-
cials are not happy about it.

who ordered a set of Dr.
Seuss books for her grand-
daughter said the package
finally arrived 20 years later.
Vera Walker of Orlando said
her granddaughter was only
4 years old when she ordered
the set of books in 1998. She
was an adult with a 5-year-
old son of her own by the
time the package arrived at
Walker's home. The post
office explained to Walker
that the box had been found
stuck inside an old mailbox.
Walker said the books
arrived just in time for her to
read them to her great-grand-
son, who she said is enjoying
the classic tomes. [Bizarre

Finally, what a way to go!

perately to get that last line
of dirt into the dustpan, a
friend of mine walked over
and informed me that line
actually has a name: it’s
called ‘furst’! It is defined as
“When sweeping a floor, the
line of dust and lint which
stays on the floor at the edge
of the dustpan.” That was a
first for me! (see what I did
there?)
Thinking I posted this

years ago, I was given the
nickname of ‘The Man with

cally by the woman who

for another time]). Anyhow,
that really is my public

news. The gray squirrel,
being the largest of these, is
the most noticeable.
Description
The eastern gray squirrel,
Sciurus carolinensis, is
native to the deciduous
forests of the eastern half of
North America. It’s the sec-
ond largest species of tree
squirrel, second to the fox
squirrel, which is more com-
mon in Appalachian and
Midwestern states. The gray
is the species we’re familiar
with in New England. The
red squirrel is also found
here, mostly in conifer-dom-
inated woods like the spruce-
fir forests of northern New
Hampshire.
The gray squirrel, as the
name implies, is mostly gray
in color, with dark flecks that
give it a somewhat peppery
appearance. The squirrel’s
face has reddish brown fur,
and the belly is white. There
is also a melanistic form,
which is all black. This color
February and March, and the
second litter in June or July.
Each litter has one to four
young and sometimes as
many as eight.
Gray squirrels are known as
scatter-hoarders – they col-
lect and store food in many
small caches, or hoards. One
squirrel can make several
thousand caches, and this
behavior plays an important
role in oak seedling germina-
tion. During most years, the
majority of acorns are eaten
by squirrels, other rodents,
birds, and insects. The few
buried acorns that the squir-
rels forgot, germinate into
oak seedlings.
Gray squirrels build nests,
called dreys, in the branches
of trees. These are made of
dry leaves and twigs, and are
lined with moss, grass, and
feathers. Dreys are used by
females as nurseries and
places to avoid predators.
Squirrels also use tree cavi-
ties for the same purposes.

phase is common in south-

goats as he patrolled in his
boat. He said he saw what
looked like white lumps
floating in the water. When
he got closer he made the
gruesome find. "This is pret-
ty disturbing," Ulseth said.
"Personally, I've been
patrolling this river for over
11 years and I have never
seen anything like this."
Ulseth said the find also
poses a health hazard as the
Chattahoochee River is a
water source for 5 million
people in the metro area.
Goats are sometimes decapi-
tated for certain religious
ceremonies, but the practice
is considered animal abuse.

Next, better late than
never…. A Florida woman

died after getting stuck in a
pin setting machine. Police
say they responded to a call
and found 65-year-old Ector
Rodriguez of Penrose stuck
in the machine at Fremont
Lanes. He was unconscious
and not breathing.
Emergency responders deter-
mined he had died. Florence
Police Chief Michael De
Laurentis says no foul play is
suspected and the death is
believed to be an accident. (I

A Walk in the
Woods – The Year
of the Gray Squirrel
By Jim Frohn
Grafton County
Forester
UNH Cooperative
Extension
While fishing on Goose
Pond with my Dad this sum-
mer, we saw something
swimming out in the open
water. It was long, and gray
in color. My first thought
was a loon, which we’d been
hearing, but it was too low
on the water, and too light in
color. And it was too long to
be a duck. It wasn’t until we
got fairly close that we real-
ized what it was – a gray
squirrel!
This seems to be the year of
the gray squirrel. Or maybe
the year of the road kill gray
squirrel. One can’t help
notice all the squirrels in the
eastern Canada, and I’ve
seen them in Ohio.
Probably the most distin-
guishing characteristic of the
gray squirrel is the large,
bushy tail, which gives it the
nicknames bannertail and
bushytail. The gray squirrel
probably gave rise to the
term “bright-eyed and
bushytailed” to describe
someone who is wide awake
and full of energy. The squir-
rel’s tail can be the same
length as the body. The head
and body range from 9 to 12
inches, and the tail is 7 ½ to
10 inches long. The gray
squirrel’s genus name,
Sciurus, is based on the
Greek skia, meaning shad-
ow, and oura, tail, and refers
to the squirrel “sitting in the
shadow of its tail”.
Habits and Habitat
Squirrels are members of the
rodent family, but are less
prolific than most rodents,
though you wouldn’t know it
The eastern gray squirrel
prefers mature hardwood
forests with an abundance of
oaks, and further south, hick-
ory. In addition to acorns and
hickory nuts, squirrels eat
beechnuts, hazelnuts, apples,
crabapples, mushrooms, and
agricultural crops. This year,
acorns are scarce in most
places so squirrels are raid-
ing corn fields and gardens.
And perhaps surprisingly,
squirrels also prey on bird
eggs, young birds, and
insects.
Why so many?
Why are there a huge num-
bers of gray squirrels this
year, with many of them end-
ing up as roadkill? There was
an enormous acorn crop last
year, as well as an abundance
of other seeds, apples, and
other foods. Well-fed female
squirrels probably gave birth
to two large litters. Perhaps
the populations of squirrel
predators were down, result-
ing in high survival rates for

The Adventures
of Tom & Atticus
My dearest friend,
When we sat atop the
ledges on South Doublehead
the other day, I thought of
you. You came to me when
all the work of climbing was
done and we were still. The
air was chill and a hint of
December blew in on us. It
was late and dark clouds
filled the sky and hung heav-
ily over the mountaintops.
Washington had snow on its
cap and the rest of the peaks
of the Presidential Range,
and those of the Wildcats
and Carters, sat in shadow as
if they were deep in sleep
and had no desire to get up.
To keep warm I put on my
jacket and gloves and Atticus
pulled himself off the cold
stone and sat on my lap.
Not quite winter…not
quite…
And yet there was a winter
song in the air. It was carried
in the wind that stirred the
nearby trees, not enough to
move them but instead to

have been heartbreaking if it
were not for the fact that I

Alone together in silence and
away from everyone else, it’s
like my beloved Emerson
wrote, “Conversation enrich-
es the understanding; but
solitude is the school of
genius.”
I think of such moments
often when I take center
stage on our book tour. I’m
not a natural at public speak-
ing and those who have sat in
on one of my talks will tell
you I’m definitely not pol-
ished nor am I practiced.
Those who have been to
more than one know I rarely
say the same thing twice.
A friend recently asked, “If
each night is different, how
do you know what you’ll say
to each audience?”
The truth is, I don’t know.
I stand up in front of those
gathered, whether it be a few
or two hundred, with a lump
in my throat I wonder what I
could possibly have to say
that will interest them. After
what seems like minutes to
me – it’s only a second or
two to everyone else though
– I leap. It helps that Atticus
is with me just as he always
been over the last nine years.
It helps that I start out hold-
ing him, just as I hold him on
top of each mountain. It
helps that I know that we’ve
seen things together that few
will ever see, and have been
tested as few have been test-
ed.
I don’t always know where
to start; I just know that
when I’m in front of a room
it’s not unlike being on a
mountaintop when it’s cold
and dark and we are alone
and those in front of us are
safe and comfortable in their
seats. I think of the miles he
and I have walked, the stars
we’ve walked under, and I
think of each of us being
caked in ice and snow. I
think about how we’ve both
sank at the end of the day in
exhaustion, how at times we
used to get back to the cabin
and how Atticus would hop
lazily up onto the bed and of
how I was literally so tired I
fell asleep getting undressed.
Or those time when I was so
empty after more than 20
miles of hiking in below zero
temperatures when the Lyme
disease wore me down to
nothing and my legs were
heavy and my feet sore that I
had to actually crawl to the
bed to join him.
When I think of those
times, when I think of
always following him and

where he’s taken me – well,
standing up in front of peo-
ple that’s when I realize that
talking is nothing. Not after
I take that leap of faith, it’s
not. And not when I feel him
in my arms cradled safely as
he’s always been or feel his
body rise and fall or hear his
breathing or the way he will
at times tuck his head under
my chin. Those who see him
do this surely think he’s
looking for me to comfort
him. What they probably
don’t see is that it comforts
me just as much. He’s a
humble little being with a
soul that was made to sing
out loud, even if he never
barks and sits as still as a
stone.
What buoys me in the end
though, what allows me to
talk on and on to a room full
of strangers is a simple little
thing. Down deep I realize
I’m doing something most
others only dream about.
I’m telling the story of the
mountains we love, a father I
loved, a little city we know
so well, an unusually selfless
breeder, and more than any-
thing I think about how for-
tunate I am to be telling the
story of a special little friend
who has led me home again.
The first time I ever spoke
with Atticus in my arms it
was at the John F. Kennedy
Presidential Library and the
crowd was filled with
Beacon Hill money.

Trick or Treating
You can barely meet some-
body who wouldn’t like
Halloween, especially Trick
or Treating. This holiday is
for everybody regardless of
age. People celebrate
Halloween all over the world
in many different ways. All
I’ve known about Halloween
and trick or treating was that
the majority of people wear
costumes and party that
night. Children also wear
costumes but walk around
their neighborhoods from
door to door collecting can-
dies and chocolate (for their
parents . Am I right?) But
what is the history of trick or
treating? What is this tradi-
tion really all about? I did
some research and found
some interesting information
about it.
Did you know that trick or

Having the
Conversation about
Alzheimer’s
Needing to have a talk about
Alzheimer's disease or mem-
ory loss with a parent can be
a daunting task for many
adult children. For seniors,
the
idea of being diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease can trig-
ger fear, anxiety, or even
grief. It’s no wonder some
adult children put the con-
versation off, once they see
the initial signs in their loved
one. What’s more, if the
afflicted senior already has
impaired judgment or mem-
ory loss from the disease, it
may already be too late for a
rational, cohesive conversa-
tion about it. In any case, it’s
wise to approach the topic
with great sensitivity and
care.

treating has existed for more
than 2,000 years? In fact, it
has pagan and Christian
roots! It all began with the
ancient Celtic Britain and
Ireland Samhain festival.
They believed that the dead
returned as ghost on
Halloween night. Living
people dressed up as ghosts,
demons (tried to “trick” them
into believing they were one
of them), gathered around a
bonfire, performed dance
and offered treats to appease
the evils. Later, in the 9th
Century, the Christian
Church renamed and con-
verted the Pagan rites. It was
called “souling” or “Soul
Cake Day”. The poor visited
the wealthier families and
received food, fruit and
“Soul Cakes” in exchange
for prayers for the recently
departed in that household. It
was believed that more
prayers meant the soul being
freed from Purgatory.
Costumes were changed to
saints, angels and some evils.
In the USA it started in the
beginning of the 20th centu-
ry, when Irish and Scotch
immigrants brought the cus-
tom. Young people danced
outside the house in
exchange for food and gifts.
When they didn’t get any,
they tricked the house owner
by stuffing cabbages in
chimneys or whacking it
with bags of flour. This tradi-
tion has been changing slow-
ly, and we feel lucky that
nowadays trick or treating
adjusted to our culture in a
more calm and friendly way.
I also feel relieved seeing
children wear “non-spooky”
costumes, so I don’t have to
meet face to face with hun-
dreds of ghosts for the night.
I’ll work for my candies! ;-)
Nowadays, parents tend to
buy costumes and acces-
sories instead of making
their own. They run from
store to store, trying to find
the perfect one in the right
size. Parents are over-
whelmed from the many
afternoon sport activities,
they don’t have extra time
for cutting and sewing. I bet
it wasn’t easy for my mom
making different Halloween
outfits for her 4 children
every year either. When I
recall my childhood, I see
myself as a butterfly, a traffic
light and even an AAA truck
driver. Here are some cheap
and quick costumes you can
make for Halloween. The
cheapest DIY ideas made of
balloons: peas, grapes or a
jelly bean bag. A couple
pieces of cardboard or bigger
boxes help you turn your
children into the fly guy, a
Christmas present, a playing
card or a slice of pizza. If
you have an old T-shirt that’s
baggy on your child, make
him/her a teabag or a fried
egg. Do you have a white
umbrella and a roll of crepe
paper streamer? If so, your
jellyfish costume would be
done under 10 minutes. But
there’s hope for super busy
parents, too. Grab a piece of
box, write “WILL WORK
FOR CANDY” on it and tie
it around your child’s neck.
Using your mascara you can
make him/her look even
more homeless.
Whatever you decide for
your children to wear, don’t
forget, it’s all about fun (and
free candies for a couple
weeks)….. Just do not leave
your basket at home!
disease, such as memory
loss, confusion, mood
swings, changes in personal-
ity, difficulty completing
certain tasks or finding the
correct word could also be
caused by a number of other
medical or psychiatric prob-
lems. Mentioning that a
loved one’s symptoms could
be the result of another
underlying issue may make
him or her more willing to
visit the doctor for a full
examination and a proper
diagnosis.
Family caregivers may also
want to consider offering to
go to the doctor with a loved
one as part of a morning or
afternoon outing, such as
going to lunch, shopping, or
some other activity. An
enjoyable event could take
the sting out of having to
visit the doctor for a firm
diagnosis.
Once Alzheimer’s Has Been
Diagnosed
How family caregivers
approach a loved one to talk
about an Alzheimer’s diag-
nosis can depend on the rela-
tionship with him or her. Are
you close enough to have a
frank conversation, and will
the senior readily welcome
your suggestions and help?
Or does he or she tend to
keep things private, and
could become embarrassed
or self-conscious? Will he or
she feel insulted? However
family caregivers approach
their loved one, it is impera-
tive for him or her to feel
supported and encouraged
during this difficult time.

Gathering Time, a top New York based folk rock
trio will perform on Saturday, October 27th at the Inter-
Lakes High School community auditorium in Meredith.
The concert will include the best songs from the era when
popular music took up the mantle of civil rights, peace, and
social concern….iconic songs by Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul &
Mary, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Jefferson
Airplane, in addition to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Gathering Time’s stage chemistry and amazing harmonies
makes clear that they take the music (if not themselves) very
seriously. Yet their infectious energy wins over even fans
who never considered themselves folkies. Listen to their
sound online - https://youtu.be/3BGMx4Wx7xo
In a unique charitable twist, concert organizer “We Care”
of Temple B’nai Israel of Laconia will donate net proceeds
to the Central NH VNA & Hospice. Event sponsors include
Meredith Village Savings Bank, Miracle Farms
Landscaping and Golden View Health Care. Refreshments,
music, camaraderie and good deeds, all in one great evening
for just $27.50 per person. Doors open at 7:00 pm and the
concert begins at 7:45 pm.

start to reduce the number of
squirrels and other rodents,
and after that the predator
numbers will start to decline.
Until the next abundant food
year, when the cycle starts
again.
A Natural Cycle
Fluctuations in wildlife pop-
ulations are completely nor-
mal. The number of squirrels
we’re seeing now is not sus-
tainable. While no one likes
to see dead animals littering
the roads, these “surplus”
squirrels would die of other
causes such as predation,
parasites, or disease. As
predator numbers rise, squir-
rel and rodent numbers will
decrease, and then the preda-
tor numbers will decline
after. There’s a classic graph
shown in biology texts
where two curves – one rep-
resenting prey species, and
the other representing preda-
tors - that look like waves
following each other. The
prey species numbers rise
and then fall, followed by the
predator numbers. Of course
this greatly simplifies the sit-
uation – lots of factors come
into play, including fluctua-
tions in food sources, preda-
tors, parasites, other mortali-
ty factors, weather, and habi-
tat.
The best way to ensure
healthy, resilient wildlife
populations, even though
they may fluctuate, is to pro-
vide a variety of quality
habitat. In the case of gray
squirrels, providing stands of
mature oak trees, including
trees with cavities, will
ensure their presence on the
landscape.
