NH Liquor & Wine Outlet Partners With Appalachian Mountain Club_______________________________

We would like to take a moment to thank everyone who helped us make our opening seasona huge success! This means everyone right from the beginning, when the shop was simply ahollow barn with open walls and no ceiling!

We would like to thank our locals, who supported us from opening day, the area children'scamps and councilors, the campgrounds who helped us get the word out, the countlesscampers, hikers, bikers and those simply passing through. Thank you to the MountMoosilauke ATV Club and members for their continued support and thank you to our familiesfor their support throughout the entire process. And to all the 4-legged visitors, we enjoyedseeing your wagging tails!

I can’t thank our excellent staff enough for all their hard work, from beginning to end. OurManager - Amber Kingsbury, Patricia Parsons, Hollie Pike, Josh Patten, Erin Haley, DevinGodfrey, Sydney Butler, Mike Fitzsimmons & Sylvie Donnell. A thank you to their families aswell!

We had many old friends walk through our doors this season, and many new friends walk outthe doors. It is one thing to own a small local business in a small town, but it’s truly a wonder-ful feeling when you see old friends return and you make many new friends along the way.

One thing we will look forward to throughout the cold snowy winter months in Warren, isknowing we'll see our friends and all the smiling faces back at Moose Scoops come spring-time! Until then, please have a wonderful and safe winter... we'll be keeping you posted onFacebook throughout the winter!

We hope to see all our friends, old and new, next season.

With a heartfelt thank you to all... Bryan, Suzanne & Sierra Flagg

Each week, the NH Liquor &Wine Outlet in Glen gathers allthe empty wine and spiritsboxes that are not needed todonate them to the NewHampshire Chapter of theAppalachian Mountain Club(AMC), which uses the boxesas a free and convenient meansof transporting supplies throughthe White Mountains on theAppalachian Trail.

Rather than being thrown out,recycled or going to waste, thedurable corrugated cardboardboxes are repurposed to trans-port all sorts of items along thetrail, including fresh food suchas produce, frozen poultry andeggs, as well as dry goods andother supplies. Glen storeemployees take the time eachweek to hand-pick and set aside50 to 60 spare boxes for AMC,which are picked up by clubvolunteers in a box truck onmost Wednesdays andSaturdays.

The partnership is just oneexample of the NH LiquorCommission’s (NHLC) com-mitment to supporting nonprof-its and local organizations inNew Hampshire communities.As a nonprofit, AMC dependson the support of vendors andcommunity organizations fordonations that help the organi-zation preserve its mission ofpromoting the protection,

enjoyment and understandingof the mountains, forests,waters and trails of America’sNortheast and Mid-Atlanticregions. In addition to weeklydonations from the NewHampshire LiquorCommission, Glen BeverageCo. supplies AMC with beerboxes.

“We are extremely grateful forall contributions that help AMCserve its mission of promotingthe protection, enjoyment, andunderstanding of the moun-tains, forests, waters, and trailsof America’s Northeast andMid-Atlantic regions,” saidRob Burbank, director of mediaand public affairs for AMC.“Getting food and supplies upto the huts is a key responsibili-ty of our hut crews, who carrythose supplies on their backs.The boxes they lash to theirpackboards fit the bill in totingthose items that help keep thehut running and our hut guestswell-fed.”

Are you interested in pursuing astory on this topic? I’m happyto connect you with a represen-tative of the NH LiquorCommission and AMC forinterviews. We can also arrangefor photos to be taken of boxesbeing loaded onto trucks and/orsupplies being carried on thetrail.

Bergeron notes that hunting canalso help youngsters learn aboutthe environment, conservation,tradition and ethics, and it can

build a deep and abiding appre-ciation for the wildlife and wildplaces that many of our citizensand visitors cherish.

Bath residents Karen Fesler andState Representative LindaLauer were among a selectgroup of individuals thatreceived awards at the NewHampshire Nongame &Endangered Wildlife Program’s25th Anniversary Dinner onSaturday, October 5 at theGrappone Center. Certificatesof Appreciation from the pro-gram were presented to individ-uals who have performed dis-tinguished service to help pre-serve New Hampshire's non-game, threatened and endan-gered wildlife species. Karenand Linda, along with Jean Enofrom Greenland, received theConservation Team Award fortheir work with the UNHCooperative Extension's"Speaking for Wildlife" pro-gram. The program, which hasbeen in existence for approxi-mately three years, providesfree educational talks to localgroups and schools on wildlife-related topics.

“This was an unexpectedhonor,” said Fesler. “To us, the“Speaking for Wildlife” pro-gram is just a way to give backto the community and help pre-serve the character of ouradopted state.” “We’ve giventalks to a number of localorganizations,” added Lauer,“and we’re always looking formore opportunities.” BothFesler and Lauer are graduatesof the New HampshireCOVERTS program, whichprovides 25 individuals each

year with 3 ½ days of in-depthtraining in wildlife habitat con-servation and forest steward-ship. In exchange for the train-ing, participants agree to returnto their communities and moti-vate others to become stewardsof the state's wildlife and forestresources.

If you are interested in learningmore about the free talks thatare available through the“Speaking for Wildlife” pro-gram, please visit http://exten-sion.unh.edu/NH-Coverts-Project/Speaking-Wildlife orcontact your local CooperativeExtension office.

Attorney Steven B. Goss

“Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) for theweird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you don’t have to.”

The serious stuff first. I havelabeled myself a ConservativeDemocrat, Liberal Republicanwith a dash of Libertarian stirredin. Perhaps the easiest way to sayit is I am a moderate – near themiddle moving back and forth tothe right and the left dependingon the issue. I see many politicaltopics as incredibly difficult; Ican’t see most issues in black orwhite, and I envy (feel sorry for?)those who do. Each side of theaisle has something to offer.Wouldn’t it be nice to take thebest of each side and meet some-where in the middle (rhetorical)and hammer out something foreveryone. The concept is com-promise! (Unfortunately, becauseI am anywhere left of, say, TedCruz, to some I am a libtard.)

I don’t want to say I am gettingnervous about getting older andentering the zone when anythingcan happen, but instead of buyingmy usual ten-pack of soap, I havestarted buying the two-pack.Seriously, as I often (too often)

say, I could have 30 seconds or30 years left. It’s the not know-ing; that’s why I see every day asa precious gift.

In a vaguely-related Bit, sometime ago (1990s?), Stonyfieldyogurt offered an Adopt-a-Cowprogram, which I thought waspretty cool, so I adopted one oftheir cows. Unfortunately, myadopted cow was soon ‘culled’(a nice way of saying ‘killed’). Itmust have impacted me becauseevery time I see or hear theStonyfield name, all I can thinkof is “They killed my cow!”Some things are hard to forgive.

Chutzpah (or narcissism)! JoseBanks filed a $10 million lawsuitin 2014 against the federal gov-ernment because jailers atChicago’s high-rise MetropolitanCorrectional Center failed toguard him closely enough in2012, thus enabling him to thinkhe could escape. He and a cell-mate had rappelled 17 floors withbed sheets, but Banks was re-arrested a few days later. Still, heclaimed that the escape causedhim great trauma, in addition to“humiliation and embarrass-ment” and “damage to his reputa-

tion.” (Last month, the U.S.Court of Appeals turned himdown. Wrote the judges, “No onehas a personal right to be betterguarded.”) [Associated Press]

Since it’s a couple of monthsbefore Christmas, I thought I’dshare a couple of gift ideas forme from the Neiman MarcusChristmas book (mostly in theirwords): (1) $150,000 would getme a limited-edition chopperfrom Arch Motorcycle and a two-day ride along the Californiacoast with company cofounderKeanu Reeves. (2) A spaceexploration package. In 2017, Iand five companions wouldexperience 360° views of Earthas a high-altitude balloon lifts myluxury pressurized capsule100,000 feet above our planet.That one’s only $90,000. (3)Finally, consider getting me a2015 Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Mustang Convertible thatcommemorates Mustang’s 50thAnniversary. The GT40 heritageand the aggressive stance of thelate ‘60s are updated with next-generation styling and rakedlines, a 700-horsepower super-charged engine (0-60 in 3.5 sec-onds), racing suspension, carbon-fiber trim, Magnaflow custom-side exhaust, lightweight racingseats, 20” wheels with NittoNT05 tires, and exclusiveblue/black/silver paint. Gift alsoincludes an exclusive FordRacing School course – all foronly $95,000. So, if you werestumped about what to get me....

I am thinking I work with thosewho have to be the most patientpeople evah! They still haven’tfired me yet.... Just sayin’.

Recently took a road trip to theApple store in Salem. As I satoutside the store waiting andlooked in through the floor toceiling glass at all the activitygoing on within, all I could thinkof was one of those ant farmsthey used to sell. (BTW, I havebeen saving up for an Apple com-puter. I finally said ‘Forget it,’

and bought a PC and a newcar....)

Given the drug problems in NH,there is a move out there to stopselling novelty pens that look likesyringes. But toy guns are okay, Iguess.

Part Seven- One definingmoment happened in England.Sadie, the self-proclaimed ‘FieldTrip Queen’ set up a theatre fieldtrip to England and asked if Iwould like to be a chaperone(said the spider to the fly).Having been recently divorcedand not working over that sum-mer, I gladly accepted. One ‘free-to-explore’ afternoon in London,I was sitting alone outside havinga ploughman’s lunch when Sadiewalked up to me and asked if I

would like to spend the afternoonin her hotel room. When Ihedged, she said she’d make itworth my while. I politelydeclined saying I was flattered,but I couldn’t; we still had towork together. She said we werehalf a world away. Again, Ideclined. As she walked away, Iadded, “You’d be disappointed.”I don’t know what she thought Isaid, but I believe that incidentled to her first public attack onme (“Remember what you said inEngland”). Was it Shakespearewho wrote, “Hell (hath no) furylike a woman scorned”?(Actually it was WilliamCongreve.) The woman who toldme she always gets what shewants didn’t, and guess who wasgoing to pay.... (To be contin-ued....) Later.

Today is one of those days.Those immaculate days madefor memories of an October toospecial to ever forget. A patch-work sky of blue and white;leaves brilliant shades of red,orange, and yellow; and abreeze that sends some of themswirling down in gentle loops.It is the autumn day of ourchildhood, the blustery day ofA.A. Milne’s Pooh and Pigletand Owl and Rabbit. Nostalgiais a powerful softener to ourhard hearts. It forces its wayinto our busy lives and makesus stop for at various momentsto remember. And maybe itfinds a way to help us simplifythe complicated in a busy elec-tronic world.

What grand lessons we’ve hadin natural beauty over these pastfew weeks. It has been as raw asPhotoshop and the Kardashiansare processed.

In past years, foliage seasonseemed to wing by within twoweeks. Colors would begin tochange, and a mighty wind

would blow and before youknew it, it was over. But thisyear has been different. We hadthat long, full summer ofwarmth right up until the end. Itpushed the colors back tendays, and when they finallycame on, they didn’t stop. I amwriting this on the fourteenth ofOctober, and you could say it’sstill peak foliage viewing. I’m happy for the businesseswho make money at this time ofyear. I’m thrilled for thetourists, especially those fromout of state, who get to see thearea at its absolute best. But I’malso happy for us, who are allreminded once again why weare fortunate to live here.

This morning, Atticus and Iwere walking at Thorne Pond inBartlett. I had my camera withme, and I felt as though I was achild in Chutters Candy Store.Each scene seemed more deli-cious than the last; each photo-graph outdid the previous one.It was impossible to choose myfavorite.

At one point, I thought of theloves of my youth and howfrom day to day they seemed toget prettier beyond belief.That’s been the autumn of2015. With each passing day, Ifind myself asking, “How manytimes can I fall in love all overagain?”

While circling the pond, andthen dipping into the woods towalk along the Saco River, I feltthe cool on my face and stoppedto inhale the rich aroma ofautumn. I took my baseball capoff so that I could see all thetrees, even those above me,without limitation. And slowly,

ever so slowly, I was JulieAndrews in the Sound of Musicturning circles in place as theleaves joined us on theirdescent.

In this temperate weather,Atticus acts five years younger.He has a bounce in his step andhis ears flop happily as hestrides along. And we moved aswe always have in the past,with me just behind him. Alongthe riverside trail, I asked himto stop, so I could drink in thecolors on the far side of thewater, where the land quicklyrises to the mountains beyond.Halfway across, we stopped at asmall beach we often stop atwhen no one is around. Hedrank from the water, and I saton the log that’s always beenthere for as long as we’ve beencoming to that spot.

I uttered a two-word prayer, asgenuine as any I’ve ever saidbefore, “Thank you.”

A few days ago I was sitting inthe same spot as the sun setbehind the hills. Atticus wasthere before me, just a footaway, and watching the waningsun reflected in the placidwater. I noticed a movementout of the corner of my eye andto our right a good-sized bearemerged from the woods. Hehad no idea we were there as hedipped his head to drink fromthe Saco. We watched himsilently as his massive bodytook a healthy draught, and thenhe raised his head, just as I do,just as Atticus always has, tolook across the way at all thosetrees and the rising land. It wasonly when he scanned to the leftthat he saw us not a dozen feet

away, and just behind him. Hequickly turned and bound intothe woods.

We’ve seen this fellow a fewtimes this year. I call him theThorne Pond Bear, and he’s abit skittish, as you mightexpect. But whenever I see himI’m floored by his size and howbeautiful he is.

I like that he’s there patrollingthe forest, because it adds mys-tery to our walks. Sometimes Ithink he’s there watching uswithout us even knowing it.And that reminds me of a sug-gestion made by an old Sufifriend who suggested I practicebecoming part of the forest byimagining myself as a treewatching Atticus and I pass.

It says something about the uni-versality of life on this planet, Ithink. How we all mostly wantthe same things: to be safe,happy, healthy, and respected.

When we emerged from thosesame woods and completed thecircle around the pond, therewas a group of elderly peoplefrom a local facility. They werestretched out along the edge ofthe pond looking up at the col-orful scene leading up to themountains and the reflection ofthe vibrant trees. Their faceswere priceless. I dare say theywere enchanted by the scene aswe were and the years in theirtired bodies seemed to evapo-rate. There childlike in whatthey were taking in and I won-dered if nostalgia had grabbedhold of me, what must it be likefor them so late in life.

As Atticus has aged, ourfavorite thing in the world hasbeen taken from us now that wearen’t climbing mountains anylonger. But today was a finereminder that there is alwayssomething to be grateful forhere in these wondrous hills ofNew Hampshire.

Fish And Game Moves To Automated License Sales________________________________________________The New Hampshire Fish andGame Department is goingelectronic! Beginning with the2014 license year, regular hunt-ing and fishing licenses will becomputer-generated and printedby the agent on regular paper,just as licenses purchasedonline or at Wal-Mart are donenow. More than half of huntingand fishing licenses sold inN.H. (53%) are currently pur-chased online or at stores thatuse an automated system. NewHampshire is one of the fewremaining states where regularlicenses are hand-written.

A handful of agents around the

state are already using the newpoint-of-sale (POS) system aspart of a pilot project that beganin August, and things are goingwell, according to Fish andGame Licensing SupervisorSue Perry.

When 2014 hunting and fishinglicenses become available inmid-December, all Fish andGame license agents will beissuing hunting and fishinglicenses via the automated sys-tem. Hand-written licenses willno longer be available after the2013 license year ends.

One change under the new sys-

tem is that, starting with the2014 licenses, a $2 transactionfee will be charged per licenseform. This fee will go to thevendor, Sovereign SportsmanSolutions (S3), for the automat-ed system to cover the cost ofits operation, just as onlinelicense buyers currently pay atransaction fee.

The new automated systemoffers many benefits:

The New Hampshire Fish andGame Department will gainfaster access to critical licensesales data, which can takemonths to get under the old sys-

tem. It will also save on print-ing and shipping costs, sincepre-printed license forms willnot be needed.

For consumers, the license-buy-ing transaction will be fasterand easier. In many cases, theirinformation will already be inthe system.

Fish and Game license agentswill find their administrativereporting is streamlined,because end-of-month reportswill be computer-generated,saving them time and effort.They will save time on transac-tions at the counter, as well,

aided by helpful "prompts" toassist them during license sales.

"This should be a positivechange for everyone, because itwill allow Fish and Game tooperate more efficiently andeffectively, using technologythat has been adopted nation-wide with positive results," saidPerry.

WOODSvILLEEYE CARE CENTER

By Geoffrey Sewake, Universityof New Hampshire CooperativeExtension

People often ask me, how dowe get young people to movehere? How do we get youngpeople to stay? While there isno quick and easy answer, I dothink there’s some things wecan do right away, and it’s aseasy as saying, “Hello.”Friendship and warm smiles arepowerful tools that can engagepeople, including young ones,and tie them to a communitylike nothing else. How do Iknow? Because it’s worked onme.

My wife and I are fairly young,we’re millennials, and havelived in big cities like NewYork and LA, but the smalltown charm of Northern NewEngland really captured us, so a

few years ago we decided tomove out here. Last year, webought our first house in a townof 700. Within the first fewdays of moving in, peoplegreeted us, introduced them-selves and welcome us withsmiles. People said hello. Aftersettling in we were welcomedto join events and groups intown. Truthfully, I’ve never feltas welcomed or happily tied toa community in my life. In NewYork I knew maybe two peoplein my apartment building and inLA I knew zero. I had no ties tothose places and never reallyfelt like home---I now knowwhat home feels like. It’s notjust your apartment or house,but the community that sur-rounds the place you live. It’sthe friendly faces, kind wordsand nice conversations youhave that make you feel likeyou belong. Make you want to

stay. Even make you want togive back---funnily enough I’mnow a member of the planningcommission and my wife and Ihave done some other volun-teering here and there. It’s thatfriendly community spirit thatcan welcome and keep folks init, young ones included.

If you’re a community thinkingabout how to keep and attractyoung people, and don’t knowwhere to start, I encourage youto begin with a hello and followit up with nice conversation.

Daylight DwindlingEven with this warm, long fall,I’m beginning to catch theshortening of the days reflectedin my speech, thoughts, anddaily routine. Perhaps it’s at theend of a work day, mentally list-ing out the chores in front of meas I walk home: haul water,before it’s dark; gather wood,before the dew settles on theground; close the greenhouseand coldframe, before the sun’sbehind the tree tops.Sometimes I hear myself calcu-lating how many hours of day-light are left when judgingwhether to push on with a proj-ect, or wrap up while at a stop-ping point: with two hours leftuntil dusk, what can I bring toclose in that time? Recently, ifhome alone for an afternoonand evening without Ryan’sgrumbling stomach as our

metronome, I find myself push-ing dinner later and working ‘tilthe dusky light settles aroundme. It’s easier to eat by thelight of our single bulb that toput away tools in the dark.

So while the sense of needing torun while short on time pushesme - and us - to grind out tasksand schemes that need complet-ing before snowfall, it’s alsocomforting. Knowing we’vereached the final swell of thewarm months, the last burst ofenergy and warmth before thewinter simplifies our plans andour days; Ryan and I can sensethe impending slow down evenas we appear to speed up forthis last month of bare groundand easy temperatures.

Get a little more firewood splitand stacked, mulch the perenni-als, weed the garden, spread the

season’s compost, tidy thegreenhouse, store woodchipsfor winter privy use, can a finalround of garden veggies, dryherbs for winter colds, storeseeds collected for next year’splanting. Take a hike and relishthe bare ground and easy mobil-ity through snow-free woods.Prep the sugaring area, clean-upthe cellar construction site,shuck and store dry beans,divide and transplant flowers.In memory of the lushness andbloom-filled homestead of thissummer, spread bulbs andperennials to multiply the color,diversity, and verdance comenext year.

Remembering the multi-huedgreens, yellows, oranges, pinks,purples, reds, and blues of thegrowing season, I see them nowreflected in the blazing fallfoliage. As the garden andgrounds wither and tire, it’s asif the colors ascend, alightingon the shrubs and trees, flittingin the wind, glowing theirbrightness and their beauty.

Soon, though, we’ll look outand up to find that the leaves,too, will have wizened and lefttheir hosts for the winterrepose. Soon, it will be thesparkling clear winter skyabove, and the twinkling reflec-tion of snow crystals at out feet.

And before then, each day isfilled as we approach the turn-ing of the season.

October ShowersWe call them shooting stars,and they never fail to make uscatch our breath in surprise andwonder. But they’re not stars atall. Those bright, brief streaksacross the night sky are mete-ors. And, clear skies permitting,the next few months bring threeexcellent chances to see batchesof them.

Meteors are debris left by disin-tegrating comets. Comets aremostly rock and ice, and oncethey enter the inner solar sys-tem, their orbits may bringthem close enough to the sun toheat up, causing the ice to meltand vaporize. Particles of rockfall away from the nucleus ofthe comet when this happens.

When the earth collides withthe trail of this debris, the parti-cles burn up in our atmosphere.

One of the best things aboutmeteor viewing is that all youneed is a clear night and a chairor blanket. In fact, binocularsand telescopes are a hindranceas they restrict your field ofview. Celestial expertise is alsonot a requirement.

“Folks of all ages and back-grounds can get involved, stok-ing the natural wonder that Ithink we all have about thenighttime sky,” explainedobservational astronomerElizabeth McGrath, an assistantprofessor at Colby College inWaterville, Maine. “Watching ameteor shower reminds us that

we are part of something muchlarger than ourselves.”

The Orionid, Draconid, andLeonid meteor showers, namedfor the constellations Orion,Draco, and Leo, will all takecenter stage over the next twomonths. The Draconid showerpeaks on October 7-9 this year,and is best viewed between sun-set and nightfall, which makesit notable. (Most meteor dis-plays are best after midnight.)With luck, you may see 10-20meteors per hour. Moonlightcan foil meteor watching plans,but a new moon on October 13will make for good conditions.

The Orionid shower, resultingfrom Halley’s Comet, is activeOctober 4-November 14, and

peaks on October 21-22. Thebest viewing is from midnightto dawn, when you may see upto 20 flashes per hour. In someyears, the Orionids have pro-duced 50 to 75 meteors perhour. Meteors in this showeroften have persistent trails, andsome may be exceptionallybright.

The Leonid shower peaksNovember 17-18, and the bestviewing will be pre-dawn. Thecrescent moon will set in theevening, leaving the sky darkenough to see 15 to 20 meteorsan hour. Leonids are often verybright with long trails.

Although each meteor showerstreams from a particular areaof the sky, known as its radiantpoint, that does not mean youneed to look in its direction.Look directly overhead,advised Fairbanks Museum andPlanetarium educator BobbyFarlice-Rubio, since that iswhere they are closest to theobserver and will appear bright-est.

And don’t give up too soon.“Wait at least 20 to 30 minutes.It takes some time for your eyesto adjust to the darkness inorder to be able to spot thefainter meteors,” ProfessorMcGrath advised. “And if youhave a camera that can takelong exposures, longer than oneor two minutes, set it up on atripod. You’ll be surprised whatyou get. You may just get one ofthe meteors streaking across theframe.”

Chances are good that you livewithin a couple of hours of anastronomical observatory. NewHampshire and Vermont each

have two, and they host publicevents and star parties. TheNorthern Skies Observatory inPeacham, Vermont, hosts a freestar party on October 16. Staffmembers are excellentresources.

There are also websites thatoffer valuable information foramateur astronomers. ProfessorMcGrath recommendsspace.com and stardate.org,while Farlice-Rubio likesspaceweather.com andskyandtelescope.com. TheAmerican Meteor Society andyour local TV station are alsoguides for weather and spaceconditions.

So stay up late, get yourself ablanket and a midnight snack,and head for someplace verydark. And keep your fingerscrossed.

Quebec Man Dies WhileHiking Falling Waters Trail At approximately 9 p.m. onSaturday, October 10, 2015, acall was received by 911 report-ing a medical emergency on theFalling Waters Trail in Lincoln,NH. Witnesses reported that atwenty-four-year-old male hadcollapsed on the trail and thatcardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) was in progress. Thehiker was approximately 2.5miles up the trail near ShiningRock. N.H. Fish and GameConservation Officers, alongwith rescuers from the USForest Service, Pemi ValleySearch and Rescue, andAndroscoggin Valley Searchand Rescue, converged onto thetrail. The NH Army NationalGuard was contacted, and acrew was assembled to attemptto extract the patient from thetrail by air. Prior to the helicop-ter arriving on scene, a groundcrew was able to carry thepatient to an opening in the for-est canopy. A medic was low-ered from the helicopter, alongwith a litter. The patient wasthen lifted through the trees intothe hovering helicopter and wastaken directly to the LittletonRegional Hospital. Passerbyhikers and ConservationOfficers maintained CPRthroughout the event, howeverthe hiker succumbed to hisinjuries. The NH MedicalExaminer will be conducting anautopsy. The deceased hikerhad travelled to NewHampshire to enjoy aColumbus Day weekend hikingwith friends in the WhiteMountains and is identified astwenty-four-year-old SimonDeschenes of Chicoutimi,Quebec, Canada. IncidentContact: Lt. James Kneeland,(603) 744-5470 or 603-271-336.

Family of Four Assisted DownPercy Peak Trail in NashStream State ForestAt approximately 7:30 p.m. onOctober 9, 2015, a call came infrom 911 to the NewHampshire Fish and GameDepartment that a family thatwas hiking the Percy Loop Trailin Stratford, NH’s Nash StreamState Forest needed assistanceafter darkness overcame thegroup. Andrew Tippit, age 36,of Rochdale, Massachusetts,and his family left the trailheadat 3:00 p.m. in Nash StreamState Forest, hoping to com-plete the Percy Loop. Theywere aware of the rainy weath-er, however they did not plan onbeing out after dark. After thesun went down, they used theircell phones to light the trail fora little ways before calling forhelp due to the darkness.Conservation Officers werenotified and headlamps wererelayed into the family’s loca-tion, just down from the peak ofNorth Percy. The family of fourwas then assisted down the

mountain and back to theirvehicle.

The family did not have a“Hikesafe Card” nor did theypossess New Hampshire hunt-ing or fishing licenses. Whenthey were told that they wouldbe receiving a bill for the serv-ices rendered, Tippit’s wife stat-ed, “When I was on the phoneasking for help, if you said wewere going to be billed, Iwould’ve said, I’ll pay any-thing.” The family was verythankful for the ConservationOfficers time and remorseful oftheir poor planning. Incidentcontact: Conservation OfficerGlen Lucas, Lancaster, NH,(603) 788-4850 or 603-271-3361.

The hiker, identified asTong Wu, age 26, of Lowell,Massachusetts, had hiked upthe mountain earlier with hisfriend Haofan Gao, age 25, alsoof Lowell, intending to take theCog Railway down the moun-tain. The Cog Railway had soldout of tickets and there wasn’tany space available, so the twodescended, getting to the AMChut Lake in the Clouds, whichis closed for the winter season.They took shelter in an emer-gency shelter located there.Compounding the problem wasthat they were not prepared;they lacked food and water,proper clothing, and lights.Two NH Fish and GameConservation Officers hikeddown from the top of MountWashington, reaching theinjured hiker about midnight.The officers splinted Wu’sankle and assisted him up themountain, arriving at approxi-mately 3:30 a.m. on October12, 2015. They were thentransported by vehicle down theauto road and taken to theirvehicle, which was on the otherside of the mountain. Incidentcontact: Lt. Wayne T. Saunders,Region One Office, Lancaster,NH, (603) 788-4850 or 603-271-3361

The hiker, identi-fied as Daniele Walczak, age22, of Orono, Maine, had takensick quickly and could not con-tinue. After some time sittingon the edge of the trail, she wasable to hike slowly down thetrail with the assistance of herboyfriend. She continued to getprogressively better and wasmet by Conservation Officers,who were able to help her hikedown. She reached the trail-head at 2:55 p.m. and she wastransported by private vehicleto a medical facility. Walczakand her boyfriend were well-prepared for this hike. They had

planned on hiking the daybefore, but had checked theweather for Mount Washingtonand saw it was going to snowand have maximum tempera-ture of 28 degrees and windgusts up to 99 mph. They optedto hike on Sunday, which wasthe prudent decision. Incidentcontact: Lt. Wayne T. Saunders,Region One Office, Lancaster,NH, (603) 788-4850 or 603-271-3361

Massachusetts Hiker CarriedOff Mount Monadnock AfterMedical ComplicationOn October 11, 2015, at 4:00PM, Nadimpalli Mahadev, age58, of Leominster,Massachusetts, suffered a med-ical complication whiledescending the White CrossTrail on Mount Monadnock,Jaffrey, NH, with his wife,Aparna. 911 was contacted andrescue personel from NH Fishand Game; fire and ambulancepersonnel from Jaffrey,Peterborough and Fitzwilliam;and State Park staff respondedto the scene.

Canadian Hiker Rescued onGreenleaf Trail – Franconia,NHA Canadian woman hiker whohad separated from her groupand taken a wrong trail was res-cued in New Hampshire’sWhite Mountains just aftermidnight on October 12, 2015.Genevieve D’Aoust, age 44, ofPincourt, Quebec, set out with agroup of hikers at 8:30 a.m. onOctober 11. They arrived at thesummit of Mount Lafayettebefore 2 p.m. D'Aoust’s feetwere sore, so she separated

from her group and starteddown the mountain by herselfon the Garfield Ridge Trail. Shetook a wrong turn and got lost.At 9:15 p.m., she called 911 torequest rescue help. NH Fishand Game ConservationOfficers, upon learning that shewas poorly prepared (she hadno map, compass or lightsource, and very little gear),immediately initiated a searchfor her. They had to guess whattrail she might have ended upon, among a number of possi-bilities. Following a hunch,officers started up the GreenleafTrail and located D’Aoust at12:50 a.m., in good conditionalthough very cold. D’Aoustand her rescuers reached thetrailhead at about 1:30 a.m.“One of the first rules of out-door safety is to not separatefrom your group,” said Fish andGame Law Enforcement ChiefCol. Kevin Jordan. “And beprepared for the unexpected –take a light, even if you are notplanning to be out after dark, aswell as other essential gear.”Incident contact: Col. KevinJordan, (603) 271-3128.

Be Prepared"People heading outdoors torecreate in New Hampshire thisfall should be aware that thereis already snow in the moun-tains above 3,000 feet," saidFish and Game LawEnforcement Chief Col. KevinJordan. "It’s a beautiful time ofyear to get out, but do be pre-pared with food, water, warmclothing and a light source, tomention just a few of the rec-ommended essential items."

By Jessica Sprague, MNSP

I was recently entranced by afood blog on the internet thataddressed the proper way tohandle and cook chicken toavoid foodborne illness. Everycomment written in response tothis blog introduced a newopinion on the matter. The mostcontroversial topic wasundoubtedly whether chickenshould be washed before it iscooked. Some folks argued thatusing the hottest water possiblewas the way to go, and othersinsisted on washing the chickenin a diluted bleach solution.Some suggested soaking thechicken, while finally othersthought washing chicken was abad idea. What is the rightanswer? We associate washingwith cleanliness in our lives,but this doesn’t always carryover to our food. The followingarticle is adapted from a fact-sheet from the USDA FoodSafety and Inspection Service,“Washing Food: Does itPromote Food Safety?”

Despite the variety of opinionsyou might find online, theUSDA does not recommendwashing raw poultry, beef,pork, lamb or veal before cook-ing. Washing these items canincrease the chance of bacteriaon the raw meat and poultrybeing spread to other foods, sur-faces or utensils through unin-tentional splatter. This spread ofpathogens is called cross-conta-mination, something you cer-tainly want to avoid in yourkitchen. In most kitchens,including my own, clean dishesdry right next to the sink. I cer-tainly don’t want any rawchicken juice getting on those. I

don’t have a dishwasher so I’mespecially protective of myclean dishes!

While some bacteria may splat-ter and spread when you washthe surface of poultry or meat,others are so tightly bound tothe surface that they aren’tgoing anywhere no matter howmuch you rinse or wash. It real-ly is a no-win situation.Washing poultry or meat iseither ineffective because thebacteria are tightly bound to thesurface or they could potential-ly splash out of your sink andcontaminate other items in yourkitchen. The take home mes-sage? Focus on reaching theproper internal temperature ofpoultry and meat to ensure safe-ty and skip the washing.

Some folks choose to soakpoultry in salt water. This ispersonal preference and doesnot play a role in food safety. Ifyou do soak poultry it should bedone in the refrigerator to limitthe growth of bacteria. Be care-ful to avoid cross-contamina-tion when soaking and remov-ing poultry from the water.

Washing commercial eggs isalso not recommended. TheUSDA regulates the procedureof washing and cleaning eggsfrom commercial producers,and they do not need to bewashed again in your home. Incommercial operations, the nat-ural coating on fresh-laid eggs(called “bloom”) is removed bywashing and a light coating ofedible mineral oil is applied tothe egg. The mineral oil coatingrestores protection to help pre-vent bacteria from entering theshell. Handing the eggs more

than necessary increases thechance of contamination, espe-cially if the shell becomescracked. Keep in mind thatthese recommendations for notwashing are for commerciallyproduced eggs.

If you collect eggs from yourown backyard flock, recom-mendations will vary. Watertemperature for washing, theuse of cleansing products, anddrying and storing conditionsare just a few factors to consid-er when dealing with your ownfarm fresh eggs. If you havequestions about washing eggsfrom your own flock, pleasecontact the UNH CooperativeExtension Education Centerand Information Line at 1-877-398-4769 or [email protected].

Finally, washing fruits and veg-etables prior to eating or prepar-ing is recommended. Produceshould be washed under waterthat is the same or slightlywarmer temperature (about10°F higher) than the produceitself. Produce with a firm sur-face (potatoes, apples) anditems with a rough texture (can-taloupe) should be scrubbedwith a brush. Washing withsoaps or detergents is not rec-ommended. Some detergentproducts are not approved foruse on foods and residues lefton produce could be ingested.Running, potable tap water isadequate for washing produce.Wash fruits and vegetablesimmediately before using oreating. Some fruits, like rasp-berries, will be prone to moldgrowth if they are stored wetafter washing.

To review: Wash your produce

under potable, running water.Do not wash commercially pro-duced eggs or raw poultry, ormeats. Remember that monitor-ing the internal temperature ofmeat and poultry is the onlyway to be sure the food is safeto eat, checking the flesh orjuice color is not an accuratemethod of checking doneness.Need a refresher on correctinternal cooking temperatures?Take some time to explore theUSDA Food Safety andInspection Service websitewhich features this, and other

great food safety information.Prefer to chat with someone?Call the UNH CooperativeExtension Education Centerand Information Line at 1-877-398-4769.
