B CONTRIBUTING WRITER For lo ,the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land… — The Song of Solomon 2:10-14 Personally, I’m having some difficulty decipher- ing the various chapters of the economic stimuli packages. Many of the provisions seem a trifle dis- tant from our checkbook and budget. I do recall that many years ago when doing cost-benefit stud- ies for power plant construction that a multiplier of 2.5 was applicable to the construction payroll. at is, for every dollar paid for on-site labor, $2.50 flowed ultimately in the local economy. Some- thing like that should still apply to stimulus dollars invested locally in public works. However, except possibly indirectly, the envi- ronment and those working to preserve and pro- tect it seem left out of the congressional thinking. Let’s hope that some of the stimulus spending can be made available for: land and water protection, buying agricultural and forest easements to allow farmers to stay on their land, local trail system im- provements, support of organizations working to protect the environment, and the return of former military facility land for local enjoyment. In the meanwhile, New Hampshire forest-relat- ed industries are closing and the Forest Society has been forced to reduce its staff in the Community Land Conservation Assistance program. Both situations affect the Amherst Conservation Com- mission and the Amherst Land Trust directly. at said, now let’s look out and look up. Na- ture is pretty indomitable, even in the mud season. She’s ready with her package to stimulate us. No deciphering needed. You may greet her with open arms, breathe in the smells of green things acom- ing, hear little peeps atwittering in the morning and spring peepers by the vernal pools at night, and see the red buds of maple ready to open into intricate gold embroi- dered red blossoms. Nature’s package has something in it to stim- ulate every one of our senses. ere’s also sweet maple and birch sap flowing for the taste buds, and trails awaiting for feet to feel the good earth un- derneath (tactile senses). So get out and get your stimulating share. is package (unlike Uncle’s) comes with a guarantee of success. Trail Notes e 12-miles of the ACC trail system have been enjoyed by many walkers, skiers, and snowshoers this winter. e ice storm did not hit the ACC properties too hard and where trees did fall on the trails, these have been cleared to the best of our knowledge. As always, there are projects that will make the trails more user friendly waiting on bucks and backs to complete. Most of these in- volve bridging, drainage and signage. Thank you ank you everyone who supported the effort to protect significant natural spaces by voting for purchase of the Martin property on Fellows Farm Road. If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change! But now the silent succes- sion suggests nothing but necessity. To most men only the cessation of the miracle would be miracu- lous ,and the perpetual exercise of God’s power seems less wonderful than its withdrawal would be. — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Town News Traditional Storytimes Regular storytimes are underway!

Several aspects of Marshall’s life and times are directly relevant to modern times. e battle over state versus federal power continues, with no end in sight. And the political ef- forts to limit the role of the courts is a platform plank for one of our mod- ern political parties just as it was in Marshall’s time with the issues re- maining exactly as they were.

March Art Exhibit at the Amherst Town Library Ninette White, Paper Quilting artist, will be exhibiting her artwork at the library during the month of March. Of her work she states, “I was in- troduced to this art form two and a half years ago at the Sharon Arts Center School of Arts and Crafts and was instantly drawn to it. I find that it is a type of medium with very few limitations. You can use papers that you find from places all around the world or handmade ones you find locally. I have even made my own by using watercolor and other specialty paints. I find myself at flea markets and antique shows look- ing for items that are unusual and would help each piece tell a story. When people ask me about Paper Quilting I often describe it as a mix of collage and embroidery. Sometimes I am asked to take one’s treasured memories and cre- ate something for a special place in their home. Storing pieces in a box or drawer doesn’t keep the memo- ries alive. By putting them togeth- er as a piece of art, it’s like taking a memory and making it come alive as a constant reminder of your hap- piest moments. Being involved with several types of medium has kept me energized and passionate about life. I have tak- en several classes on drawing and painting as well as metal smithing. With each piece of art that is creat- ed, I find that a piece of me is being shared with others too.” Originally from Indiana, White moved to New England over 21 years ago. She has been a resident of Amherst for 17 years and lives with her family and their three rescue pets. This detail from ‘My Song’, is a quilted paper creation by Ninette White who will be exhibiting her work at the Amherst Town Library during the month of March. Let’s Party!
