Hatcheries Gearing Up For Spring Fish Stocking_________________________

Now that spring is here, theNew Hampshire Fish and GameDepartment’s Inland FisheriesDivision Chief Jason Smithcan’t help but get excited aboutopen water angling, and morespecifically, trout fishing. FishCulturists at New Hampshire'sstate hatcheries have had anoth-er great growing season, andstocking trucks are ready to getrolling in April. In fact, some of the state's southern waterbodiesreceived fish in late March.New Hampshire hatcherieshave close to 1 million catch-able-size trout ready for thisseason. “Since spring condi-tions have arrived sooner thanin a typical year, our hatcheryemployees are getting an early

start,” says Smith.

Smith explained that eventhough cold, high waters frommelting snow are limited, it willstill be a few weeks beforerivers and stream conditions aresuitable for trout stocking. Mosttrout species are reluctant to

bite until the streams reach temperatures in the mid-to-upper

40s.“We don't want to stock streamstoo early because cold water early in the season does not

present suitable conditions for trout stocking, and insects andother forage is limited untilwater temperatures rise a fewdegrees,” said Smith. “We'refortunate to have ConservationOfficers in the field that moni-tor water conditions almostcontinuously as part of their daily patrols. They do a great

job making necessary adjust-ments to the trout stocking to

provide the best angling oppor-tunities possible.”

available at many of NewHampshire’s designated trout

ponds, which open April 23,2016. “Our stocking crews dotheir best to ensure there arerecently stocked trout in all of our designated trout ponds for opening day,” says Smith.“Proceed with caution: some of the ponds harder to access dueto road conditions. Therefore, if

we have an extended mud sea-son, concentrate on ponds with paved access and go fromthere.” Designated trout pondsare open from the fourthSaturday in April throughOctober 15. As the season pro-

gresses, fishing on smaller streams will pick up from southto north, with the larger riversto follow. A good rule of thumbis to follow the black flies asthey move north.

Raising a million trout eachyear is no small task. NewHampshire's hatchery system,funded by fishing license salesand federal Sport FishRestoration funds, includes six

facilities across the state. TheBerlin Fish Hatchery providesthe three primary trout speciesto the North Country, includingCoos County and the northernreaches of Grafton and Carrollcounties. The Twin Mountain

and Warren hatcheries providetrout to the White MountainRegion.

Powder Mill Hatchery in NewDurham provides trout from theseacoast through the LakesRegion and into Carroll County.Powder Mill Hatchery also pro-vides the Lakes Region withrainbow trout and landlockedsalmon for New Hampshire’slarge lakes program. April 1 is

the opening for salmon seasonin lakes managed for land-locked salmon. Avid salmonanglers are encouraged to helpsustain this fishery by takingthe Landlocked SalmonAnglers’ Pledge (visitwww.fishnh.com/fishing/salmon-pledge.html).

In the Southwest region, Fishand Game's Milford FishHatchery has gained the reputa-tion of growing “the big ones,”and with good reason. Wellwater provides favorable grow-ing temperatures for trout year round, giving this hatchery aslight advantage over other facilities during the winter

months.

New Hampton Hatchery isresponsible for providing troutfrom central New Hampshireup to the White Mountains. Inmid-June, fingerling brook trout raised at New HamptonHatchery will literally takeflight, as they are stocked byhelicopter into 47 remote pondsin the White Mountains of NewHampshire. These remote

ponds provide a special oppor-tunity for those who wish to getoff the beaten path and spend aday hiking and fishing in theWhite Mountains. "Remote

pond fishing is a great experi-ence and one of my favorites,"

says Smith. The fishing seasonfor designated trout ponds,including remote ponds, opens

on the fourth Saturday in April.

To help fund the remote pond

aerial stocking program, theWildlife Heritage Foundationof New Hampshire has estab-lished a dedicated donationaccount. Those who enjoy thisexperience and wish to con-tribute to the remote pondstocking program can donateonline at www.nhwildlifefoun-dation.org; be sure to specify"remote pond stocking fund."

Now that we have a jump starton spring, Jason Smith andthousands of other NewHampshire anglers are eager towelcome the open-water fish-ing season. Visitwww.fishnh.com to find boat-loads of fishing information,fishing reports, stocking

So, back around primary time,one of my bosses commented onseeing a huuuge Hillary sign at a

business and wondered if anyonewould or should stop patronizinga business because of such alarge sign. If so, wouldn’t thesame be true with Trump or anyother candidates?

Secretary of State John Kerryrecently said that the UnitedStates has determined that ISIS’action against the Yazidis andother minority groups in Iraq andSyria constitutes genocide. Yeah,and.... Maybe if they really wantto get tough maybe he could per-suade the UN to... pass a resolu-tion....

Seems most Politicians arePerpetual Purveyors of Prevarication. Like CharlieBrown and the football, themasses still feel this time will bedifferent by again electing anestablishment politician. I amthinking the good news is many

people are finally realizing thesystem IS rigged and the onlyway to change it is to stop elect-ing the career politicians whodon’t care about ‘we the people’(incorrect wording, but it sounds

better than ‘us the people’) butonly about themselves and their owners/sponsors. Unfortunately,while Trump certainly says somegood things, he simply does nothave the temperament to be pres-ident - there has to be some deco-rum and class. For all of my vot-ing years, I have liked and dis-liked various politicians, but at

the end of the day, I live withwho you the people elected. Now, there’s a problem. Trump is

in no way presidential.

One of my bosses (and I) noticed

(From the Following Atticusarchives of August of 2009,while Tom continues to work onhis new book and caring for Atticus)

Think back to the fairy tales of your childhood and how therich, dark woods were as tex-

tured as the characters them-selves. I have felt like I’vestumbled into such an enchant-ed forest whenever entering thewoods to climb MountHedgehog. They evoke a feel-ing of otherworldliness andeach step into nature and up themountain is a step into a realmwhere mystery and magic meetand society is left behind. Thechild within me half expects tocome face to face with a gnomeor dwarf. And no matter howoften I trod the familiar pathand never see such a creature, Inever doubt I could actually seeone around the next bend in thetrail.

I get to Hedgehog as often as I

can because before too longmany of the trees in the areawill be wiped out by the lumber industry. I fear that not unlikethe children who would bekings in queens in C.S. Lewis’

Narnia, there will come a timewhen I’ll never reach it againand all I’ll see will be the stub-

bled remains of where a forestused to stand and where magicused to live.

Oh, I know there are plenty of special places here in the moun-tains, but there’s somethingabout this particular area thathas always resonated with me.Why? I cannot say, other thanto say it’s like love – you knowit when you feel it and it is near-ly impossible to describe inwords. And while the ForestService has always allowed log-ging in the White Mountains,there’s never been a time in

recent years where they willlevel nature so close to a trail.

Last Saturday I was in the moodto visit those woods again but Ididn’t want to deal with thecrowds or the heat of August sowe didn’t arrive at the trailheaduntil 5:00 p.m. and the only

people we saw were those get-ting ready to leave. I had

planned it right and Atticus andI had the mountain to ourselves.Whenever that happens, I enter the woods with a childlike trillrunning through my body, mysenses tingling with life.

In the first mile and a half of thenearly five mile loop I saw

many trees marked by tape

revealing where the destructionwill take place. It’s incrediblewhen you consider how manywill be removed and the gener-ations that will pass until a per-son can stand where I was and

see such mature trees again. Aswe passed I felt like I was say-ing goodbye to old friends I’dgotten to know these last fewyears.

Hedgehog is only 2500 feethigh, but like all mountains itmakes you work. There areeasy parts and there are partswhere you have to push your-self. The discomfort takes over

– shortness of breath, racingheart, sweating, low back pain.But it brings a gift with it.When going through it you can-not think of anything but whatyou are doing and where youare. Distractions evaporate.The mind becomes clear. It’s

here in the stripping away thatthe senses become even morealive and on Hedgehog thishappens just before you reachthe breathtaking open EasternLedge. You leave the woodsand yourself behind and scram-

ble up large shelves of rock andsuddenly you stand on the edgeof the mountain. Far below thegreen carpet of the valleysweeps away and up towardsChocorua, Paugus, andPassaconaway – mountainseven grander than the greatIndian chiefs they were namedfor.

This is our favorite place on theloop and when we arrived we

spent a great deal of time sittingand looking out at the views

while growing shadows brought a welcomed coolness.Even in the shadows, the scenein front of us was amazingly

bright while the sinking suncast everything in a golden hue.

After a lengthy visit we left theledges and entered the woodsfor the climb up to the summit.Here the forest grew so dark Icould barely see and I had to letmy eyes adjust but where mysight failed my sense of smellgrew strong. The musky smellof earth, pine and decayingwood entered me. The deeper we went the more we wereenveloped by shadows so deepit felt like night. Then, on thewestern edge of the mountainthe setting sun splashed throughthe trees like a breaking waveand the forest was flooded withyellow light. It lit our way waswe walked the twisting trail

until we were face to face withPassaconaway. The name itself translates to ‘Son of the Bear’and I could almost imagine itcoming to life and loomingabove us like a giant bear.

The climb was done and we set-tled in for some more and views

before heading down to finishoff the loop. But there was stillone more stop to make. Just

before night completely fell, wereached Allen’s Ledge. Herewe sat for the third time andwatched the night roll acrossthe sky until the stars pin-

pricked their way through the blue-black sea overhead. Hereyou really could count the stars,

although I fear once you started

you’d never finish.

Amazing, isn’t it, how theous facets of a journey together like patches on a Each area of the mou

shared something differenus. And although nighfallen we still had one mexperience. The final paour journey came in thmile when the mountain to life even more with itsterious smells and soTrees creaked and gro

Does my vote count in this Democracy? Let the Peopledecide....

No matter Who gets the most votes in the Primary for the

President of the United States(POTUS), it’s the Delegates,Super Delegates, Caucas's and

sometimes a member of the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) that ends up appointing the

President of the United States.

It’s time, way past time, to doaway with the way we elect the

POTUS. It time to have a Pres. Primary where the "people" actually decide who their can-didate for POTUS well be, not the Delegates, Super Delegates,Caucas nor the SCOTUS. Oncethe first vote is cast in the

Presidential Primary, we seeboth parties, Democrats and

Republicans connecting withCampaign leaders, scampering around trying to finagle a wayto get their candidate nominat-

ed. To heck with the People’svote, the "Popular vote." Just who they want as POTUS. It happened with Gore v Bush and it could and probably well inthis 2016 election. We cannot change it now, but we should doit for 2020.

To Cast a vote for the POTUS inUS Primary: One Day, One

person, One vote, Nati just like the General e No Delegates, No Delegates, No CaucConvention to decidOUTcome of the Pres

Election.Whoever, has tVotes, by the people,

Nancy Leclerc North Woodstock, NH

To all who care about our StateCat

In reference to John Harrigan's March 17th editorial on the Bobcat issue, writing a letter to your local paper and or Representatives or even to the Fish Game and Marine resource House Committee although

admirable is futile.The F&G commission will not listen to the outpouring of the

public or hunters that go against the grain. The Department did not wish for the Bobcat to be put back on the list, but why should the Commission listen to themether.

The commission is on their own page. The House and Senatecould care less of what is hap-

pening to our wildlife, as long asthey are getting re-elected and they are ignorant to what goeson at the F&G commissionmeetings anyway.

The F&G and Marine House Legislative committee is stacked with special interest groups and always has been.

So who are you going to call?The Executive council and Governor appoints theCommission, therefore it's their responsibility to correct the mis-

take in who they appoint. TheSenate Finance approved state funds to the tune of $1.2 millionto be taken from the general

fund for the F&G department,but the commission refused toallow any representative to thenon-hunting public to sit on theCommission. Taxation without representation. How does it feel,knowing that non-hunting money is going to support activ-ities that we have absolutely no

say in or control of. If you want to shake the cage,then I suggest you call your Councilman and tell them tointervene. Don't waist your timewith the Governors office, theywill just give you the politically

correct answer, "we will pass on your concern" and that will bethe end of that.

I also suggest you call day and night, one of the five F&GCommissioners who voted in

favor of the Bobcat season. InStrafford County, Barry Carr 755-1175, in Grafton County:

Todd Baldwin 726-3446, in Hillsboro County Walter Morse464-3797, in Carroll County

David L. Patch 387-3771 and inCheshire County Robert

Phillipson 352-8336. Ask themall, who do they think they are,to ignore the will of the Majorityover the special interest of a

Minority, who will only linetheir pockets with what the cats

pelts bring in.

NH, this is your natural resourcewe are talking about, not theCommissioners private wildlifereserve.

If you do not get any response from the Executive Council or corner office, then maybe it'sabout time we go shopping for

someone new that will listen tothe Majority for a change in

November. We need Council members who will listen to the

Department and not some outside Commission, who don't givea dam of what the majority of the people think.

A Drafty Door

Our cabin door has a storiedhistory well beyond our home-stead. Of all our salvaged win-dows, repurposed furniture, andhand-me-down possessions thatcomprise our home, it is only -

perhaps - the large hemlock stringers on which the cabin sitsthat are older than our door.With six panes of glass set intoweathered wood, its age is evi-dent. A carpenter ’s joints of days gone by are showing gaps;Ryan and I readily admit thatthe door is the draftiest part of the house. A wool blankethangs over the threshold duringwinter to help hold in the heat.

Recently, the door handle,which has become less reliableas internal bolts and hardwaretwist and break, finally brokealtogether. The last remaining

pieces snapped inside the han-dle; twist and turn the knob aswe might, we were shut insidedespite no lock. Perhaps youcan imagine - that made for some good laughs! Though our tools were in our shed a meretwenty paces away, they were

hopelessly useless given our predicament. Ryan and I rifledthrough our various jackets and

pants pockets until we came upwith a couple utility tools. Withthese Ryan unscrewed theinside handle until the entireapparatus fell apart: half at our feet, half on the granite stoopout front. A subtle breeze greet-ed us.

We were now free once again tocome and go from our ownabode, but the fist-sized holemade the term “drafty” a bitmore severe. But that was sim-

ply how it was going to be untilwe were next in town for a

replacement - having a back-uphandle was not something wehad considered before.

This, however, was a mild fatefor this door. Previously thefront door of the AppalachianMountain Club’s MadisonSpring Hut, this door has stoodas the threshold between safety

& shelter on one side, andharsh, mercurial, alpine weath-er on the other, for decades.The door is no stranger to buf-feting winds, disorientingsnowstorms, and driving rains.A missing handle was a trifle,

by comparison.

Soon enough, we replaced the

handle: a new and shinfor an otherwise weatheaged entrance. With a fand a reliable latch, odoor now continues to oclose to the comings andof daily life, the vagarieweather greeting it, ahand-built homescape oit has become a part.

WOODSVILLEE YE CARE CENTER

This is from my archives datedDecember 16, 2010, and it is s tillrelevant today, so I thought Iwould share it with you again.

I have been asked the questionseveral times about what com-

puter viruses, why they exist andhow I can prevent my computer from getting infected. Well Ihope I can answer those ques-tions in this week’s article.

When I first started working oncomputers in the early 1980’s wedidn’t have to worry about anyvirus infecting our computers,

because there were not very

many computers out there. Back

then if your computer did get avirus you would know because itwould tell you by a pop up or amessage flashing on your com-

puter screen telling you that “Wehave infected your computer”, or it may just be a animated objectgoing across the computer screensuch as a purple ape. Today’smakers of viruses do not wantyou to know that they haveinfected your computer and theyfind ways to try not to be detect-ed such as disguising a virus as asystem file (called a rootkit) soantivirus programs such as

Norton and AVG will not removeit thinking it is part of the win-

dows operating system.

You may ask why do theyinfect my computer and wthey getting fordoing it. Most of the viru

infect computers are desget personal informationcredit card account nyour Social Security Nuany information that canto steal your identity. Hathe virus authors like tlarge businesses where tget this information sdepartment stores or coweb sites. The virus aut

paid by sleazy web sites as many computer’s thsometimes the going pinfect a computer is abocents each. You multiplymillions of computer’s infected, and you will sare making money by iyour computer.

Most computer user’s hidea that there computer ied, if you notice it is slowinternet or your computdenly does not have as mudrive space like it use toget a message saying yo

puter is infected with theing virus’s (such as Systethen your computer is inf

I mentioned System Toone of the most inTrojans that have attack

puters lately. The new veSystem Tool 2011; it loolegitimate program that cwhen you visit a web scans your computer aucally it will then display

Many Trojans andtry to look like legantivirus programs like AVG, Avast to name a fewtrick you into getting youcard information. I havsome programs that wimail you into buying aunlock there program so use your computer; untilno programs will work.

I will talk more about Trojans and spyware and

ference between them iarticles so; if you hquestions about what I haor want to know if your cmay be infected you mayor go to your computertechnician and ask themommend everyone have

puter technician to takcomputer into. If you havtor well your computer nealso, and lets put thesauthors out of business.

Join us at the Joseph PatchLibrary in Warren on Saturday,April 16th at 1:00 p.m. for anengaging program about New

Hampshire’s beloved Old Manof the Mountain. Maggie Stier,representative of the NHPreservation Alliance, illus-trates how the Old Man’s storyis the story of New Hampshire,reflecting its history, geographyand philosophy. Ms. Stier’sunique understanding of NewHampshire’s culture and devel-

opment reveals how the OldMan has sparked imaginations,symbolized changing senti-ments and altered public policy.

Ms. Stier is co-author of Intothe Mountains: Stories of NewEngland’s Most CelebratedPeaks, and has written and lec-tured on a wide variety of topicsrelated to cultural history andhistoric preservation. She isadjunct faculty at PlymouthState University, former direc-

better to present MoB classes intheir area. Coaches need goodcommunication and interper-sonal skills, dependability, awillingness to lead smallgroups of participants, plusenthusiasm.

The RSVP Volunteer Center will be training MoB coaches inApril, thanks to support fromthe Northern New EnglandGeriatric Education Center, andthe Partnership in HealthyAging. The coaches’training will be led by threeMoB Master Trainers:Bernadette Rose and SusanRossley, RSVP staff; and Kate

Kelly, RSVP volunteer and lastyear’s Vaughan Award winner in recognition to her service toolder adults in Grafton County.To find out more about the freetraining and volunteering as acoach, or to get on a waiting listfor free MoB classes to be heldlater this year, please callRSVP, (serving Grafton andSullivan Counties,) toll free at1-877-711-7787 or [email protected]. Your partici-

pation in A Matter of Balance is

critical for improving our popu-lation’s health and ensuringolder adults retain as much of the independence they value as

possible.

This is a great learning andleadership opportunity for vol-unteers to help others becomemore confident about managingfalls by believing that they canincrease their strength, findways to reduce falls, and pro-tect themselves if they do fall.

MoB uses a proven curriculum.Conducted in eight two-hour sessions, teams of MoB coach-es use group discussion, prob-lem–solving strategies, videosand demonstration of gentle

physical exercise. Older adultslearn positive coping methodsto reduce the fear of falling, andto remain active and independ-ent.

Falls are not a normal part of aging, but they are a seriouscommunity health issue, beingthe leading cause of injury inthose 65 and older. Manyinjuries can be severe and leadto long-term health impacts andthe loss of independence. The

population of New Hampshireis older than the average US

population, and the number of older adults is rapidly growing.A Matter of Balance is one waycommunity members can helpeach other to age well. ContactRSVP for more info.

Are you interested in gardening? Is practical, hands-on learningfun for you? Are you interested in aligning your lifestyle with thevalues of ecological integrity and regeneration, zero-waste strate-gies, equity and social justice, resilience planning, healthy andsustainable food systems, self-care, and community develop-ment? Then, come to D Acres Permaculture Farm andEducational Homestead in Dorchester, NH, to attend a course onpermaculture.

Lauren Chase-Rowell, organic landcare and permaculture educa-tor, describes permaculture as “a framework for working towardgreater resilience - making more efficient use of the resources athand; getting more out of what you have with less input and,more importantly, less waste; and building up the natural environ-ment to make it more productive and healthy.” Permaculture alsocan be defined as Javan Kerby Bernakevitch describes in theUrban Garden Magazine: “Permaculture is not the rain that falls,nor the roof that collects it or the catchment systems that stores it.Permaculture design is the relationship between these things…and ultimately achieving systems that produce enough naturalresources to provide for their own maintenance and reproduc-tion.” Through the course, these words are demonstrated in anapplicable manner for any person, whether novice or experiencedin gardening and ecology.

The 2016 Permaculture “Through the Seasons” DesignCertification (PDC) course, which is an internationally recog-nized, 72-hour design course, is offered over seven weekends inMay through November. The dynamic teaching team consists of Steve Whitman, Josh Trought, Regina Rinaldo, Chris Skoglund,Molly Messenger, and Josh Arnold, along with guest speakersDave Wichland, Bryan Felice, and Nancy Phillips.

The course is designed to maxi-mize practical learning by fol-lowing the annual flow of theseasons and embedding stu-dents in rhythms of D Acres, anecologically designed perma-culture education center. DAcres founder, Josh Trought,recently published TheCommunity Scale PermacultureFarm, a detailed account of theeducational farm and home-stead at which the course takes

place. A copy of TheCommunity Scale PermacultureFarm is included in the tuitionand will be referenced through-

out the course.
