PORTSMOUTH -Contrary to popular myth,

New Hampshire was not only a hotbed for abolitionist activ-ity but also, like the rest of the country, a state that struggled with the financial benefits of “the peculiar institution” and its moral contradictions.

This struggle and the little

known stories around slavery in New Hampshire and the Un-derground Railroad is the sub-ject of the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail (PBHT) opening discussion celebrating Black History Month.

Author Michelle Arnosky Sherburne, a Vermont free-lance writer, will share her her

new book Slavery & the Un-derground Railroad in New Hampshire at the Discover Portsmouth Center in down-town Portsmouth on Sunday, February 7 from 2 to 4 pm.

Sherburne’s talk will focus on the role the people of New

Hampshire and the port city of played as a slave-trade hub for New England. She will also highlight some of the stories around the state concerning the Underground Railroad: a well-organized network of predomi-nantly Blacks residents who effectively moved hundreds of the enslaved “fugitives” north-ward to areas of safety in free states and Canada.

“New Hampshire did have a hidden history because historians downplayed the his-tory of slavery and black heri-tage.” Sherburn continues, “It is the responsibility of histori-ans to be respectful of evidence in history and retain it to share, not edit it to protect posterity from bad news.”

Michelle Arnosky Sher-burne lives with her husband and son in Newbury, Vermont.

She has spent years research-ing the Underground Railroad and the Civil War, lecturing at schools and local organi-zations and co-authored the book, A Vermont Hill Town in the Civil War. She works at a weekly newspaper when not on history quests.A book sign-ing with the author will follow the discussion.

This lecture is a part of the Elinor Williams Hooker Winter Tea Talks, a series pre-sented by the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail in collabora-tion with the Seacoast African American Cultural Center. The lectures, sponsored by TD Bank, are participatory in nature and are related to New Hampshire’s Black history and African American culture.

On February 14, the Trail will present the second talk in

the series entitled, “Church, Faith and the New Hampshire Community: A Black Woman’s Perspective.” Scheduled to present are Rev. Lauren Smith, Minister Olga Tines, Minister Florine Hilson and Ms Nadine Thompson.

For more information on this and other talks celebrating Black History Month, visit the portsmouthhistory.org or call JerriAnne Boggis, Director of PBHT at 603-318-5120.

The Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail founded in 1995, works to preserve, celebrate and honor the history and culture of the African-American com-munity in Portsmouth and the New Hampshire region. With distinctive bronze plaques that identify the community from its colonial-era African Bury-ing Ground to the modern Civil Rights Movement, the Trail is proud to have served as a model across the country, on what it means to raise public awareness and appreciation for a region not known for its Black history.

DOVER -Ranger is an active and

playful boy who would be hap-piest with an active guardian. He would be thrilled to ac-company his owner on a hike, walk, or run! Because Ranger is a rough player, it is recom-mended that he only go home with older children (13+). This also means that he will need to meet any potential dog siblings before going home with them. Ranger cannot share his home with any small animals. He is very food motivated and knows one basic command, which is “sit.” He will happily learn more commands as long as he is rewarded with a delicious treat! If you are looking for an active companion, please con-

DURHAM -The Museum of Art, Uni-

versity of New Hampshire is hosting LiveARTS!, a program for musical arts. A surprising medley of university talent from solo student artists, trios or other music groups will per-form in an “open mic” coffee house format. LiveARTS! takes place on Thursday, Feb-ruary 11, from 6-7:30 p.m. The Museum of Art and its pro-grams are open to the public free of charge.

LiveARTS!, created and administered by the Museum of Art’s Educational Intern and gallery attendant, Emily Schultz. Schultz is senior, ma-joring in Communication Sci-ences and Disorders. She has a passion for classical music and performing in large ensembles. She plays the French horn and is a member of the Wind Sym-phony, Symphony Orchestra, and a student run brass quintet. “This will be the second gath-ering for LiveARTS!, our first event was very successful and I am hoping the word has spread on campus. LiveARTS! ap-peals to a variety of talents and allows anyone to display their hard work, dedication and love for the arts. The Museum of Art is a wonderful venue for this program.” Schultz says.

In conjunction with LiveARTS!, two new exhibi-tions will be on view, Ground-swell, highlighting three art-ists Sophia Ainslie, Nathan Miner, and Cristi Rinklin, whose paintings originate from specific locations and sets of conditions used as departure points to explore perception, memory, history, and motion. The second exhibition, Natural Wonder, features artists Chris-tina Pitsch, Shelley Reed, Rick Shaefer, and Randal Thurston who’s works of art reference humankind’s complex relation-ship with nature through visual and literary symbolism found in works of art and material culture of the past reinterpret-ing it for contemporary audi-ences.

University student musi-

cians interested in perform-ing may sign up in advance, through sign-up sheets in the music department and in the Museum of Art, Paul Creative Arts Center, via Facebook and email. If the schedule allows, walk –in sign-ups may take place on the evening of LiveARTS! The performances will be approximately 10-15 minutes in length. The event will ideally appeal to brass and woodwind chamber quintets

~ Ask The Computer Lady ~Dear Computer Lady,

I have a computer with Windows 10. Why do comput-ers have a power button that you turn it on with, but you are not supposed to turn it off with? All my other devices can be turned on and off with the power button. Randy

Dear Randy,If you make a few changes

in your settings, you can use the power button to shut down your computer safely. Here is how: 1. On your Windows 10 computer, tap the windows logo key on your keyboard and type: Power Options. Click on “Power Options” in the search results. 2. This will open the Control Panel in the power options section. Click on “Choose what the power button does” in the left hand section. 3. You will see a sec-tion for power button and lid settings. You can select differ-ent settings if you are running on battery power or plugged in. Click the drop down arrow for each section and click on “Shut down” to select. 4. Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the window to save changes. Now, when you press and release the power button, your computer will begin the

shutdown process and turn off when finished. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I have been a subscriber

to your newsletter and still find something useful and new to learn after all these years. We have decided that this year will be our year of declutter-ing. I want to rip our music CD collection and save them on our PC/Mac with backup to disc. The idea is to get rid of 300 odd CD’s. We have used the Mac and scanned several into iTunes; created playlists, synced with iPods, iPhones, iPads. This has been pretty good. But I have a concern that iTunes is too locked into Apple’s hardware (and record-ing format, AAC). What hap-pens 10 years from now when we move away from Apple (or iTunes isn’t supported), and there are different preferred formats? Future- proof porta-bility? Salome

Dear Salome,I have a couple of cautions

for you in your quest for less clutter. First, the physical CD you purchased, is your proof of ownership. Once you have ripped the music to your com-puter, you should either store or destroy the CDs because if you

sell them or give them away, you are selling or giving your ownership of the music on your computer as well. Second is the format you are storing them in. When I rip my CDs, I store them in MP3 format, which is a more universal format. Your Apple de-vices will play MP3 files, along with most other music devices. If the digital copy of your music is your only copy, you want to make sure they are backed up. I like to keep my music in three locations. On my computer, on a backup drive and on an online server. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I have trouble in Windows

10 printing excerpts from certain articles, recipes, etc. I used to highlight and print but I can’t do that in Windows 10. I do use the Snipping Tool but it is limited in what it covers to print. Suppose I want to print more than it covers. What do I do? Thanks for your help, Patsy

Dear Patsy,The ability to highlight and

print only the highlighted por-tion of a document is not tied to your operating system (in your case Windows 10) but is a feature of some printers. Since you were able to highlight and print previ-ously, either you changed print-

ers when you upgraded to Win-dows 10, or the newer, Windows 10 drivers for your printer do not have the feature programmed in. You can still highlight and print your content, though; you will just have to do one extra step before printing. After you high-light your article or recipe, just paste it into an empty document like Word or OneNote, and then print. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,Please tell me how to clear

my browser history. Thank you so much, I love your newsletters. Gladys

Dear Gladys,How you clear your browser

history depends on what brows-er you are using. I’m guessing

that you are using Internet Ex-plorer: 1. Open Internet Explor-er. 2. Click on the “tools” icon (looks like a gear in the upper-right corner of the window) then click on “Internet Options”. 3. In the “Browsing History” section on the “General” page, click the “Delete...” button. 4. Make sure that “History” is checked off, then click the “Delete” button at the bottom of the dialog box.

NEW HAMPSHIRE/MAINE

Andrea Patrick-Baudet, RN, CHPN, CHPCA, Direc-tor of the Hospice Program at Cornerstone VNA is pleased to announce the recent Certi-fied Hospice and Palliative Nursing Assistant (CHPNA) certifications of three Licensed Nursing Assistants.

Flo Debenedictis, LNA, CHPNA, Bonnie Stewart, LNA, CHPNA and Kate Kelly, LNA, CHPNA received their credentialing after suc-cessfully completing a rigorous exam to evaluate their compe-tence in hospice care.

The Certified Hospice and Palliative Nursing Assis-tant (CHPNA®) examination is designed for experienced hospice and palliative nursing assistants. Applicants must have 500 hours of hospice and palliative nursing assistant experience in the most recent 12 months or 1,000 hours in the most recent 24 months, all under the supervision of a registered nurse in the United States. Hospice and palliative nursing practice is nursing

care for both patient and family, with emphasis on physical, psy-chological, emotional and spiri-tual needs when experiencing a life-limiting illness. This is accomplished in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team in a setting that provides pain and symptom management, family support and 24-hour nursing. As practitioners in hospice and palliative care, each takes great pride in their expertise and com-mitment to quality at the end of life. Many hospice professionals have years of clinical experi-ence, evidence-based practice, and education to draw upon. Cornerstone VNA is a non-profit home, health and hospice agency currently serving Rock-ingham, Strafford, Belknap and Carroll Counties in NH and York County in Maine. The team at the VNA uses the latest technology to provide the most highly skilled nursing, rehabili-tative therapies, social work, and support services in their service area.

Certified Specialty pro-grams include Wound & Ostomy Care, Diabetes Man-agement and Education, Mental

Health Nursing, Intravenous Therapy, Chronic Care Man-agement, Hospice & Palliative Care, Pain Management and a Maternal Wellness Program. Specialty services include Tele-

health, an in-home health moni-toring system, and Smart Care, 24-hour emergency response and communication system for patients and their families tran-sitioning to homecare.

Cornerstone VNA has been named to the Top 500 of the 2015 HomeCare Elite™, a compilation of the top-per-forming home health agencies in the United States.
