A construction project toimprove public safety is under-way with the development of atrail to connect the two RumneyRocks Parking Lots in Rumney,NH. This very popular destina-tion for rock climbing enthusi-asts attracts climbers from allover the world.

The construction of theConnector Trail will involveexcavation and some blasting inorder to cut a suitable trail intotwo prominent rock outcrop-pings that extend to the edge ofBuffalo Road between the two

parking lots. In order to safelyconstruct this trail, Buffalo

Road will be temporarilyrestricted to one lane accesswith traffic control signs andshort duration road closureswhile blasting operations areunderway. The Forest Service isworking with Town of Rumneyofficials to coordinate lane androad closures. Buffalo Roadshould be open evenings and onweekends. Please be aware that

temporary area closures within mile of both parking lots willbe necessary while blastingoperations are underway, andthe area will be posted accord-ingly.

Once completed, climbers andvisitors will have a trail whichconnects the two parking lotsand eliminates the need forclimbers to walk alongside theroad.

The project is expected to becompleted by the end ofDecember, 2014.

New Hampshire hunters canshare their fall harvest with theneedy through the Hunt for theHungry program at the NewHampshire Food Bank. Onceagain this fall, the food bank iscollecting donations of whole orprocessed game animals for dis-tribution to more than 400 foodpantries, soup kitchens, home-less shelters and group homesstatewide.

Last year (2013), the Hunt forthe Hungry program took in1,200 pounds of donated deer,

bear, moose and other gamemeat for distribution to theneedy.

To donate game, and for packag-ng instructions, call the Food

Bank at 603-669-9725 ext 245.If you are donating a whole deer,you can bring it to Lemay &Sons Beef in Goffstown, N.H.(603-622-0022), and they willprocess it for the food bank at nocharge.

Please note that the N.H. Food

Bank is not equipped to acceptdonations of wild game birds,such as wild turkey or grouse.

We are counting on continuedstrong support from hunters thisyear, said Bruce Wilson,Director of Operations for the

New Hampshire Food Bank.Donations of protein foods filla big need for the Hunt for theHungry program. Venison isespecially popular, a real treatfor clients. Last year, we gotsome moose meat, and as soonas it came in, out it went! As

always, we want to thank NewHampshire hunters and Lemay'sfor their continued support.

The Hunt for the Hungry pro-gram is a great way for huntersto share their harvest and helpneedy families get through thewinter," said Glenn

Normandeau, ExecutiveDirector of the New HampshireFish and Game Department.Wild game is a local renewableresource that is high in protein,low in fat and all natural not to

mention delicious.

We have been off center the lastseveral days. There was an acci-dent in our little apartment andweve been left with water dam-age. The carpet in the bedroom isone of the casualties. Moldformed quickly and because of it

Atticus and I have been sleepingon the couch with Will tucked inone of his dog beds just belowmy head. Soon it will be takencare of, but until then our sleep-ng arrangements are different.

We rent a small place, but acheery one, and the kitchen andiving room is combined with big

windows on the east and westside and a glass door to the norththat looks out on a quaint roofeddeck where there sits a smalltable and two chairs with someplants along the railing.

Two nights ago a wicked stormblew across the mountains andcovered the bright moon with fastmoving clouds. When the raincame it was as if the sky explod-ed and heavy raindrops pounded

on the metal roof of the house. Isat up on the couch to look outfrom our second floor perch intothe backyard to the skeleton ofour black ash tree, which had

dropped its leaves several weeksago. The heavy rain was mes-merizing. I tucked back intosleep with Atticus behind myknees and Will snoring blissfully

below.

Sometime later I was startledawake by a crash. One of theceramic planters must have been

blown over by the storm on ourdeck. I walked to the door andtook my headlamp off the knoband turned it on. I could see the

planter broken into bits but I alsosaw an enormous bear settlingdown on the deck, it seemed, totake shelter from the storm.When the light flashed on him he

jumped up and turned around,ready to race down the stairs.

It was Butkus, who I had not seenin over a year. Hes the largestand oldest of our local bears andthe first we encountered somefive years ago. I turned the head-lamp toward myself so he couldsee me and gave him a casualwave. He stopped, moved closerto the door to look at me, andthen he sat down.

We havent seen the bears fornearly two months. There is ahouse that is rarely used rightnext door to us. You cannot see it

because of the trees and the wayits back form the road. But forthe past two months a young manin his twenties was staying there.He rode a motorcycle and revvedit loudly shaking walls and the

peace and quiet. He came and

went at all hours of the night.Through other discoveries(which I will not go into) Ilearned he was not a very nicefellow. Since the time he moved

in the bears had stopped comingby. They are funny that way.Although they have always comeand gone in Jackson as they

please, drawn by the sweet andsavory aromas of the inns andrestaurants here, they watchclosely and dont reveal them-selves often when things are dif-ferent. Whenever our landlordsare up for a visit and stayingdownstairs they bears dontreveal themselves. Nor do theywhen the landlords let friends usetheir place. But as soon as thedownstairs is quiet again, the

bears return. Alas, this hasntbeen the case over the last twomonths.

But the young fellow next door isnow gone and I wondered if wedsee any of the bears again beforethey disappeared for the winter.And here was Butkus, enormousand wet and sitting out the stormon our deck.

I watched him for a few minutesand then pulled the comforter and

pillow and my Kindle from thecouch and sat with my backagainst the glass door, drawn bythis incredible animal. SoonAtticus was with me, his headraised up on my thigh watchingButkus. Eventually Butkus laydown and placed his huge headagainst the glass next to wheremy head rested against the pil-low. Our eyes were only thewidth of the glass apart. It wasntlong before both Atticus and

Butkus were asleep.

When I woke up, still pressedagainst the door where I sat withAtticus and Butkus the night

before, the rain was gone and sowas our neighbor. Blue skies

poured over the valley and thesun danced on the jeweled rain-drops left behind. A gift of a dayfollowed the gift of the night

before.

The bears fascinate me. Weknow enough to be carefularound them and to make surethey have an exit plan, and so dowe. We dont encourage themwith food; they just pass by ontheir way to other places.Occasionally they linger for a lit-tle while, but they dont appear to

be very comfortable with mostpeople. They obviously didntlike the short term lodger nextdoor, and they don't like the fam-ily that moved in on the otherside of us. Once when Atticus

and I were sitting out back a fewmonths ago Aragorn showed upand sat contentedly with us fif-teen feet away for fifteen min-utes. Some of you may remem-

ber the photographs. He only leftwhen our neighbors came out-side, unseen due to the summerfoliage, but easily heard. Hegnashed his teeth and repeatedlysnapped his jaws before growlingand running down to the EllisRiver. Last year when two of ourmoderators, Christina and Mike,showed up for a visit whileAtticus and I were watching theJackson Five (a mother andfour cubs) playing in the yard,the bears abruptly left.

Im not certain why they comearound us as they do. Ive

always believed it has something

to do with Atticus and howanimals are often drawn toThats how we met Aragornyears ago. He was a yearlinfollowed us home from a

He trailed us for half abefore showing up in our yard. When I reminded ANot all dogs are friendly,sat down. In the bushes

border of our yard Aragortoo. When Atticus droppethe sphinx position, soAragorn. Since that day, the bears, its been Aragorspends the most time aroualways looking to Atticusoccasionally to me.

Im reminded of our thirdapartment in Newburyport there was a window box wflowers in it. We couldntanything because the wind rise up from the Merrimackand rush up State Street reing any of the flowers thereone year a pigeon built aand Atticus, who was young, stood up on his hinwith the window openwatched her, his head less foot away. When there chicks in the nest he was nated by them and the mthought nothing of leaving

behind to seek out food Atticus watched over them

Pigeons are one thing, butare another. Although Imnated by all forms of wildli

bears most intrigue me beof how we share this yardeach other. When youngcome along, I typically them away. But the olderknow their boundaries w

and I let them come and they will.

plants and trees that producethem. It is no surprise that thetiming and abundance of thesemast crops are designed bynature to benefit both plant andanimal.

Seeds, fruits and nuts that fall inOctober will lay dormant in theground until spring when they

will germinate into the off-spring of the tree or shrub thatdropped them. However thesemast crops are rapidly con-sumed by all wildlife from thesmallest squirrel to the largestbear. If the trees and shrubsonly dropped small quantitiesof mast annually, then every-thing they dropped would getconsumed by animals and therewould be nothing left to germi-nate.

Trees and shrubs remedy thisproblem by having mastyears or bumper crops. Amast year is when plants haveincredibly abundant drops ofmast. The perfect example isthis years abundant crop of

acorns and pine cones. Many ofthese will get consumed by ani-mals, however because of thesheer volume of cones andacorns that are being produced,the critters cant possibly eatthem all and a small percentagewill germinate into oak andpine seedlings next spring.

Abundant crops of mast requirea tremendous amount of energyto produce which is why youonly see them once in a while.Bumper oak, beech or pinecrops only happen every 2-5years. Last year there were noacorns, this year they are fallingby the thousands. Last year wasa big year for beech nuts and soI can pretty much predict that

the next two years will be leanacorn and beechnut years.Apple trees wreck the curvebecause almost all apple treeshave been hybridized to pro-duce fruit every year or everyother year. All wild trees andshrubs follow similar seed pro-duction cycles.

October is pure magic; thethumping of acorns, the chatterof squirrels, the flush of thegrouse and the crunching of adeers hooves in new fallenleaves. Winter is coming; itstime to get ready.

We are supporting ClaudetteSortino for State Representativein the Caledonia-1 District, andwe urge your readers in Barnet,

Ryegate and Waterford to votefor Claudette on November 4.

We support Claudette, becauseshe supports easing the burdenon property taxpayers by hav-

ing the State of Vermont useother revenue sources to sup-

port our schools along withproperty taxes.

Claudette also supports theexpansion of cell phone serviceavailability in our district tohelp stimulate economic

growth, to provide jobs and toprovide for personal safety andconvenience.

In addition, Claudette supportschanging the way politicalcampaigns are funded in ourcountry. Since the CitizensUnited decision, corporatemoney has drowned out thevoices of those unable to com-

pete with it in order to pushtheir limited agendas to the

detriment of our country.Heath care should be availableto everyone, and Claudette sup-

ports a health care system thatis right for Vermont and will notexclude other important priori-ties.

As a member of the SelectBoard in Ryegate, Claudettehas fought tirelessly to improve

the lives of Ryegate residents,and if elected on November 4,

she would do the same for allresidents of the Caledonia-1

District.

Its disappointing to see SenatorShaheen completely distortScott Browns record onwomens issues, simply to takethe attention away from herown record of supportingObamacare. Scott Brown is

pro-choice Republican and hasa proven record of supporting

womens health carethats anindisputable fact. The only rea-son Senator Shaheen is tryingto distort the truth is to avoidanswering the tough questionsabout her last six years in theSenate.

that. When you look Scott Brown is working talk about issues that women and families acr

The last thing Senator Shaheenwants to talk about is herrecord. Instead, she wouldrather launch false claimsabout Scott Brown to takeattention away from her com-

plete investment in the failedpolicies of Barack Obama.Scott Brown is pro-choice, any-one who has been to one of hismany town halls could tell youthat.

This is the same SenatorShaheen that cast the decidingvote for Obamacare and prom-ised us we could keep ourhealth care plans if we wantedto.

Women have been hurt byObamacare; seeing work hourscut because businesses are wor-ried about the employer man-date. Even worse, women-owned businesses are inundat-ed with new regulations thatmake it difficult to do what theydo best, create jobs.

TEA Party extremists?

President Obama and manyDemocrats, being unable orunwilling to campaign on theirrecords and positions regardingreal issues, have attempted to

portray those who identify withthe TEA Party movement asextremists and then use themas cudgels to beat up on their

political opponents.

The TEA in TEA Party is com-monly viewed as an acronym

for taxed enough already.TEA Party Principles are gen-erally agreed to as: 1) Fiscal

Responsibility (Less govern-

ment spending/lower taxes) 2)Constitutionally LimitedGovernment (The belief that theU.S. Constitution was enactedand exists to protect the people

from tyranny and other excess-es at the hands of their govern-ment) 3) Free Markets (Thebelief that the marketplace

should be allowed to functionwithout unnecessary govern-ment interference) 4) Personal

Responsibility (The belief thatmost functional adults shouldtake responsibility for theirlives and be allowed to experi-ence the consequences of theirdecisions, both good and bad)5) The Rule of Law (The beliefthat we should be governed byestablished laws and not thewhims of politicians who hap-

pen to hold power at any giventime. 6) National Sovereignty(The belief that we should con-trol our borders and be gov-erned by our own laws.) 7) The

Right to Life, Liberty, and thePursuit of Happiness (Thebelief we should be able to liveour lives as a free people and

pursue legitimate goals withoutbeing obstructed by our gov-ernment.).

I invite President Obama oranyone else to explain to me

just what is extreme aboutthe TEA Party. Calling a groupof people names does not neces-

sarily make it so.

Inspiring Words for You!

Dear Friends, Matthew 14:2234talks about faith and Peter and a

storm. With a message for us. "COME,DO NOT BE AFRAID". We can have little faithor much faith. Do we really trust in Him ordon't we?! That is a question you must askyourself. Because when the storms come, andthey will, you need to know. Jesus beckonedPeter to come and at least he got out of theboat and began to walk on the water,walkingon top of the problem, not the other wayaround! But when the storm roared he losthis faith,took his eyes off Jesus and began tosink!I wrote a song "Keep Your Eyes OnJesus". In these dark difficult days, we cannottake our eyes off of Jesus Yeshua! He toldthem to not be afraid have faith. It is I, Jesus.So keep your eyes on Him!!!!!

A juvenile bald eagle wasreleased into the wild on aSquam Lake island today by

N.H. Fish and GameConservation Officers andwildlife rehabilitator MariaColby of Wings of the DawnBird Sanctuary in Henniker.

Conservation OfficerChristopher Brison rescued theinjured bird in August of this

year. It was found with a brokenleg near its nest on Long Islandin Squam Lake. A concernedisland property owner onSquam reported the injured birdand helped Fish and Gamereach the island by boat. Brison

brought the rescued eagle to theSquam Lakes Science Center,which then relayed the bird to

be rehabilitated by Maria Colbyat the Wings of the Dawn Bird

Sanctuary. It is not known howthe young eagle was injured,

but it may have fallen out of thenest or had a rough landingwhile learning to fly.

CO Brison, Fish and GameSergeant Brad Morse andwildlife rehabilitator MariaColby travelled by boat to LongIsland this morning (October10, 2014) to release the bird

near its nest.

Were glad to have played apositive role in rescuing thisbird, so it could be restored toits healthy state and returned tothe wild today, said Brison.

In its summary of the 2014 NewHampshire Bald Eagle breedingseason, N.H. Audubon reportedearlier this year:

This spring marked the 27thbreeding season in the post-

DDT recovery era for NewHampshires bald eagles.

Over the last decade, this pop-ulation growth has beenextremely robust, doublingroughly every 5 years 10 ter-ritorial pairs in 2005, 22 territo-rial pairs in 2010, and 41 terri-torial pairs in 2014!

The confirmation of a total of41 territorial pairs in N.H. in2014 set a new state record-high for the post-DDT era. NHAudubon staff and volunteereagle observers documentedincubation by 27 (66%) of thestates 41 pairs. One-third ofknown New Hampshire pairswere not confirmed to haveincubated eggs this year, which

may be due to several factors,including early nest abandon-ment due to ill-timed snowevents, and to new or inexperi-enced pairs connecting late inthe 2014 season. Of this years27 incubating pairs, 24 (89%)

The Seasonal Cycle

Columbus Day weekend haspassed, Autumn is turning cold,and another Northcountry

News deadline is upon me.Outside, peak fall foliage hasalready passed, though maple,

oak, and birch leaves remain.Thanks to them, walkingthrough the woods is still akinto breathing golden air. Thetemperature this morning read25 degrees.

Taking all this in, I was again atthe moment of consideringabout what to write. The priorday I had wheelbarrowed loadafter load of hardwood mulchinto our clearing, forming neatmulch rings of nutrients aroundour fruit trees, blueberry bush-es, and raspberry canes. Puttingscreening around each of the

trees to ward off burrowingrodents come winter completedthe afternoons focus on treecare.

These acts were aimed at grow-ing rich soil and aiding mycor-rhizal fungi, which would in

turn abet the nutrient uptake ofour growing perennial stock.Surely this would be a worthytopic for this article? But con-densing to a few columns thatwith which experts have filledvolumes seemed less thanthrilling. Besides, I didnt havemy records in front of me, and Ifeared I may have tried to do

just that last year at this time.Or the year prior. Or the one

before that.

I held off on putting anything topaper and kept pondering. Ifpoetics was more my interestthan a how-to guide, and if rep-etition was my concern, well,seeing what those realities

pointed to was key. Becauseany given month of the year, orweek for that matter, I run therisk of repeating what Iobserved the preceding year.Its inherent to the concept ofseasonality. To the concept ofliving with the seasons. Toobservation and response. Totime dedicated to being, alertlyand with engagement, in one

place.

Whats all this aboutGluten-Free?

During WWII, when there wasa bread shortage in Europe,Willem-Karel Dicke, a Dutch

physician, noticed that celiac(abdominal) disorders lessened,

only to recur when Swedendropped bread into theNetherlands from relief planes.Today, one in 133 people haveceliac disease in the US.

So, what is it about wheat thatlouses us up? PhysicianWilliam Davis, in his book,Wheat Belly, traces the devel-opment of wheat fromPaleolithic times to today. Itseems the original wheat had 14chromosomes in its geneticstructure. Todays wheat, aftercenturies of hybridization, has42 chromosomes, and a muchhigher gluten and carbohydratecontent.

In early times, wheat represent-ed a small part of the diet.Today, wheat is present at everymeal, and in most snacks, and,like sugar, weve gone over-

board devouring it. The averageAmerican eats 135 lbs. of wheat

per year and most of us shudderat the thought of limiting our

bread, crackers, muffins, cakes,cereals, pies, pizza, pasta, waf-fles, and much more.

Today, Gluten-Free seems to bethe magic label that sells. Thatlabel continues to threaten ourhealth with obesity as much asthe Fat-Free label did. Withoutfat, to supply energy and pro-vide essential nutrients to our

bodies, and to carry the fat-sol-uble vitamins A,D,E, and K, wefound that removing fat alsoremoved those vitamins. Peoplecraved energy so much thatthey loaded up on carbohy-drates to such excess that bod-ies automatically converted and

stored the excess sugar as fat.Just as we had ludicrous fat-freefruit and vegetables, now wehave gluten-free water andgluten -free corn chips! (Thereis no gluten in corn.) Yet, thegluten-free label can have traceelements of gluten legally.Many products labeled gluten-free do have some gluten inthem. The FDA requires thelabel to have less than 20 parts

per million and labeling is vol-untary.

People who are truly gluten-intolerant must monitor theirdiets carefully without relyingon labels. Most of us are not in

that category; we simply eat toomuch wheat. We may havecereal and toast for breakfast, asandwich for lunch and pastawith garlic bread for supper.For a snack, we may have ahigh-energy bar loaded withwheat gluten to boost the pro-tein content.

The easiest way to avoid excesswheat consumption is to thinkabout adding more whole foodsthat are sweet, satisfying, andenergizing, like yams, wintersquash, apples, nuts, leafygreens, carrots and avocado,

beans, eggs, fish, meat andpoultry. Fall is a time to addmore ginger root to keep warm.

We may end up concocting cre-

ative potlucks out of thetremendous variety of whole-some foods in our fall harvestthat energize us with a fullcharge, but without unwantedfat. For most of us, wheat canthen serve as an accompani-ment, not the main thread.

Inspiring Healthy Choices For Life

Dear EarthTalk: Whats thelatest on efforts to ban plasticbags? How many U.S. locales

have instituted some kind ofban, and have these initiativesmade a dent in the amount ofplastic litter?

-- Melinda Clarke, New York,NY

California made big newsrecently when it announced the

first statewide ban on plasticshopping bags set to kick induring the middle of 2015.Beginning in July, large grocerystores, pharmacies and otherfood retailers in the GoldenState will no longer be able tosend shoppers home with plas-tic bags, while conveniencemarkets, liquor stores and othersmall food retailers will join theranks a year later.

Back in 2007, San Franciscobecame the first U.S. munici-

pality to ban plastic shoppingbags. In intervening yearsupwards of 132 other cities andcounties in 18 states and theDistrict of Columbia institutedsimilar measures. Of course,Americans are late to the partywhen it comes to banning plas-tic bags: The European Union,China, India and dozens of

other nations already have plas-tic bag bans or taxes in place.

But the trend here toward ban-ning plastic shopping bagscomes in the wake of new find-ings regarding the extent andharm of plastic in our environ-ment. Since plastic isnt

biodegradable, it ends up eitherin landfills or as litter on thelandscape and in waterways andthe ocean. Plastic can take hun-dreds of years to decomposeand releases toxins into the soil

and water in the process.Littered plastic is also a huge

problem for the health ofwildlife, as many animalsingest it thinking it is food andcan have problems thereafter

breathing and digesting. Thenon-profit Worldwatch Institutereports that at least 267 speciesof marine wildlife are known tohave suffered from entangle-ment or ingestion of marinedebris, most of which is com-

posed of plastic; tens of thou-sands of whales, birds, sealsand turtles die every year fromcontact with ocean-borne plas-tic bags. A recent EuropeanCommission study on theimpact of litter on North Seawildlife found that some 90 per-cent of the birds examined had

plastic in their stomachs.

Another reason for banningplastic bags is their fossil fuelburden. Plastic is not only madefrom petroleumproducing ittypically requires a lot of fossil-fuel-derived energy. The factthat Americans throw awaysome 100 billion plastic gro-cery bags each year means weare drilling for and importingmillions of barrels worth of oiland natural gas for a convenientway to carry home a few gro-ceries.

Its hard to measure the impact

of pre-existing plastic bag bans,but some initial findings lookpromising. A plastic bag tax

levied in Ireland in 2002 hasreportedly led to a 95 percentreduction in plastic bag litterthere. And a study by San Jose,California found that a 2011

ban instituted there has led toplastic litter reduction ofapproximately 89 percent inthe storm drain system, 60 per-cent in the creeks and rivers,and 59 percent in City streetsand neighborhoods.

Environmental groups continueto push for more plastic bag

bans. As U.S. natural gas pro-duction has surged and priceshave fallen, the plastics indus-try is looking to ramp updomestic production, reports

the Earth Policy Instituteusing this fossil fuel enment to make somethin

short-lived, which can away at the slightest breezpollutes indefinitely, is calparticularly when tha ready alternative: the reu

bag.

Tek Talk...With Eli HeathOf Paige Computer Services

Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer

This week I will address a fewmore e-mails I have received;here are some of your ques-tions.

Q: Why cant I forward e-mailswith attachments.

A: By default your e-mail clientOutlook Express, MS Outlookor any of the popular e-mailprograms treat attachments asbad news. Many attachmentsthat are on e-mails could beviruses or Trojans, so to preventthem from being passed to oth-ers when you send an e-mailthey are removed from any e-mail you forward. To send theattachment to someone youhave to save it to your comput-er, create another e-mail thanreattach the attachment andsend it. You ban disable thissecurity feature by going toTools/Options/Security anduncheck, Do Not allow attach-ments to be saved or opened

that can potentially be a virus.

Q: If I want to look at for exam-ple page 300 of a Google sitesearch with over 25,000 entries,how can I jump straight to thepage without having to manual-ly jump ten pages at a timeusing Googles own navigationlink?

A: Google only enables you toview the first 1,000 entries (99pages) of a search. Youreexpected to narrow it further tobring the number of resultsdown to a more manageablelevel. That said, you can quick-ly jump to any page between 1and 99 of your search. Start by

clicking page 2 of the searchresults and you will see theURL is something likethis:http://www.google.com/search?q=pc+answers&hI=en&start=10&sa=N. Change thestart=10 to start=50nto jump toresult 501, or 99 to jump toresult page 991, and so on.When you reach page 99,Google will supply you withsome suggested search terms tonarrow your search further. Ifany match, just click one to seeif it returns the results you arelooking for.

Q: I live in a rural area, I needto know my options to get highspeed internet?

A: That depends on where youlive and how far you are fromthe main telephone switch box.The telephone company canoffer DSL (Digital SubscriberLink) internet if you live within2 miles of the telephone switchbox you may be able to getDSL, you will have to call thetelephone company to see ifyou can. Another option iscable, if you have cable televi-sion in your area there is a verygood chance to may get cableinternet service, just keep inmind that cable internet is con-

sidered a network, dependingon how many homes are con-nected to the cable internetservice in your area you are notguaranteed to get the internetspeeds you are paying for.Another option is satellite, thereare many providers that offer

this service, and however youhave to pay for the satellite dishand hardware which can becostly. Another draw back is ifyou like to play games againstothers on the internet satellite isnot your best choice. There istalk about a new service calledWIMAX, that is in the discus-sion plans, it is being offered by

Fairpoint Communications,there intentions is to beam theinternet connection over radiowave to homes and businesses,they are going to start inVermont and plan to expand. Ifyou have cell phone serviceanother option is to purchase aUSB wireless modem cardfrom your provider. The cardscost around $100.00 servicestarts at about $65.00 permonth, the draw back like yourcell phone you are locked into a2 year service contract.

Q: Why cant I view imagesdirectly in my e-mails?

A: A security feature in someemail programs blocks thesedownload by default. When youopen an email, you should seean information bar at the top ofthe message. Clicking this

should give you the option ofviewing the images in the emailitself. If the information bar youcan disable the security feature

by going toTools/Options/Security anduncheck Block images andexternal content in HTMLemail.

Be Advised: Should youreceive a telephone call from acompany claiming that yourcomputer is infected with virus-es and it needs to be repaired

take WARNING IT IS ASCAM, they will charge you$169.99 for nothing and stealyour personal information.Common sense shall prevail,one, how do they know youhave a computer, and if you dohow do they know if it is a Macor PC, Also how can they mon-itor your computer unless they

are in it illegally. Theythreaten you to pay for thfix it do not be intimidatethem you are going to takecomputer to your local shhave it checked out thenup. This happened to atomer this past week shesmart and hung up on they tried calling her agashe ignored their calls. Idid do as they say andthem call your bank to cyour credit card as soon asible!

I hope this answered somyour questions. If you havquestion I can share
