A Walk In The Woods, Looking For The Snowshoe Hare___________________
Skip’shas it all
at a price thatwon’t breakyour wallet!
Lot’s of Stock!
by Jim Frohn, Grafton County Forester
A recent walk in the woods found me hunting for the snowshoehare. Looking with the hopes of seeing some sign of a good pop-ulation of hares, and the possibility of obtaining some free rangemeat for the stew pot. I was hunting by myself without the use of beagles, so I had to move quietly and look carefully.
In order to find a hare, I needed to be in the right place, in theright type of habitat. I searched along the edge of alder swalesand regenerating hardwoods, where hares like to feed on alder,willow, aspen, and birch. They need to be able to reach the budsand twigs, and hares prefer small twigs of ⅛” diameter or less, sothe trees need to be in the seedling or sapling stage. Preferablythe feeding area is along dense young spruce and fir thickets,where the hares can hide from their predators. Many predatorsfeed on snowshoe hares- I’ve heard them called the “bread of thenorth woods”. These predators include bobcat, coyote, fox, fish-er, great-horned owls, goshawks, and on this day, a two-leggedhunter. Since there’s not much snow this year, I didn’t need myown snowshoes to keep up with the hare. As the name implies,the snowshoe hare has its own pair of “snowshoes” in its largehind feet. At five to seven inches long and several inches wide,the characteristic feet allow the hare to travel on top of deep snow.When the hare hops, it leaves tracks that seem backwards - thehind feet are first, and the front feet follow.
Unlike us, snowshoe hares can’t put their snowshoes away in thespring. But one item the hare does change with the seasons is itscoat- hence the other common name, the varying hare. The coatturns white in mid-December and starts to change back to brown
again in late April. The change is a result of molting, and is con Story continues on page A2

trolled by the length of day.
The area I was hunting has anold abandoned beaver flowagewhere regenerating alders andhardwood sprouts can be found.But the dense young softwoodwas harder to find, since theadjacent forest had grown up
past the sapling stage and intothe poletimber stage (poletim-
ber consists of trees in the 5”-9”diameter range- too big to besaplings, but too small to besawtimber). When softwoodsreach this stage they lose their value to hares and many other species that use dense thickets
for cover and food. The under-story becomes shaded out andthere is less vegetation to hidein and the buds and twigs aretoo high to reach.
I didn’t have much luck findinghares or their signs that day,most likely because the habitathad grown too mature for them.And with fewer hares, therewill be fewer of the predatorsthat depend on them for food.Fortunately for me, I havemany other sources of food.Wild predators can also switchto other food sources, but onehare can provide more proteinthan a smaller mammal such asa red squirrel or meadow vole.
Another factor at play in deter-mining the number of hare inthe woods is their populationcycle. The snowshoe hare fol-lows a boom and bust popula-tion cycle, where the number of hares peaks every ten years. Itis a complex relationship
between predator, prey, andfood supply that is not fullyunderstood. But without suit-able habitat, hare numbers aresure to be consistently lower than with quality habitat.
The land I was hunting on belongs to a friend, so I will beable to have some direct influ-ence on the habitat qualitythere. I have permission to har-vest trees on the property, so Ican focus on creating somegood habitat conditions for hares when choosing trees tocut. In order to produce standsof spruce/fir, one needs to startwith seedlings established inthe understory, known asadvance regeneration. Spruceand fir are shade tolerantspecies- in other words, theywill germinate and persist in theshade, and can outcompete
hardwoods under shady condi-tions. Advanced spruce/fir regeneration can be establishedthrough silvicultural techniquessuch as shelterwood cutting or group selection. Once spruce/fir regeneration becomes estab-lished, the overstory trees can
be removed. During harvest-ing, care needs to be taken to
protect the seedlings andsaplings as much as possible. Astand doesn’t have to be treated

Speculative fiction or real life?Apparently there’s a new nutri-tional product being advertisedcalled Soylent. Uh, is that for real? I saw the movie in 1973 – you can’t fool me - I know whatsoylent is.... Have things really
gotten that bad?
I am no fan of the President, butI am a fan of the Truth, so if yousend me something that is anoutright lie, I will either justignore it or say something
back... not that it will matter. Iam thinking there is enough tocomment on that is the truth,the whole truth, and nothing butthe truth! At least play fair.
I am beginning to think that partof my meeting with and talkingwith couples planning marriageshould be to try to talk them outof getting married in the first
place. Maybe I need to finishmy booklet on relationships. Itis certainly needed!
I can sometimes tell how aworkday is going by my coffee.Every morning I work I get alarge coffee to take in with me.Most of the time, I can nurse italong until about 10:30. Somedays, however, it’s gone an
hour earlier. I am not sure whatthis all means, but it can’t begood.
The good looking bad guy... or from inmate to actor? It seemsanything is possible for the“dreamy mugshot guy” with
piercing blue eyes and ateardrop tattoo (you’d remem-
ber him if you saw him). Lessthan two years after hismugshot went viral, JeremyMeeks was released from
prison where he was servingtime for weapons charges. He isnow entertaining multiple joboffers, including acting jobs,reports the Los AngelesTimes. The husband and father of three previously told ABC
News that he’d be interested in joining the cast of “a showlike Sons of Anarchy.” Meekswill spend the next few weeksin transitional housing “beforehe is completely free to start hisnew journey.” ( NEWSER) Atleast I don’t have the looks tohave to struggle with turningdown job offers or havingwomen throwing themselves atme....
Wonders never cease! Youmight remember I took some-one to small claims court a cou-
ple of months ago. Not only didI win, but I actually got a check for the full amount, which trulysurprised me! To avoid the
process, I had made an offer tosettle for just over half theamount, which I thought would
be fair to both of us. He ignoredit. I ended up getting back almost $800. That brings thenumber to one person left withwhom I have on-going prob-lems.
The Power of One: the CityCouncil of Columbia, Missouri,rigged a specially drawn“Community ImprovementDistrict” to pass a sales taxincrease (politics as usual).Under the law, if the District
had no “residents” to vote, the“election” would be decided bythe tax-friendly business own-ers. However, the Councilsomehow missed that collegestudent Jen Henderson, 23,actually lived there and had reg-istered to vote, meaning the
business owners could not voteand that the tax increase would
be decided by ... Henderson.(The Council ended up “post-
poning” the election and was ina quandary because Hendersonsaid she’s against higher taxes.)[Columbia Tribune]
There is a new soldier memeshowing up in reference toWorld War II: “420,000 of usdied stopping someone who
spoke like Trump. You betrayus by voting for him.” While Ido like some of what he says,
it’s how he says it – his charac-ter, which is the overlooked ele-
phant in the room.
“It’s a deep and all but certaintruth about bullying, narcissis-tic personalities that to meetthem is to love them, but toknow them well is to find themunbearable. Confidence quicklycurdles into arrogance; smartsturn to smugness, charm turnsto smarm.” Jeffrey Kluger.Sound familiar? Yeah. Soundsalso like Trump!
I am thinking of getting a jobcleaning mirrors - it’s some-thing I can really see myself doing. Budda-boom!
So there’s this “funny” video of a guy dressed as an Arab walk-ing past people, dropping a
backpack, and then running. Asall the people see it beingdropped, they all run in panic.Could someone explain to mehow that ‘prank’ in any way,shape, or form is funny? Or ran-domly sucker punching some-one? Or randomly hitting some-

(As Tom continues the constant work on his next book, and takes care of his friend Atticus,here’s an earlier column wepulled from April of 2010.Enjoy!)
The other day I woke up to
Atticus curled up next to me,his head snuggled between myarm and chest. He was stillasleep and I watched the slowrise and fall of his body. Sweetcontentment. I treasure suchmoments for whenever I seehim like that it draws me back to an innocence I must haveknown at one time before Igrew up and lost the ability tohave the same kind of carefree,blissful moments. But just likethat, just by watching him, theybegin to come back. For Atticus, in so many ways, is mymirror. I see myself reflected inhis eyes and his actions – atleast I see the way I used to be.In him I see virtue, purity,
wholesomeness. And in that
moment, as soon as thosevisions appear I feel them againand once again they are real.
Some think it strange that I useAtticus as my barometer, but as
I recently told a friend, so longas I take care of him and makesure he has the life he wants, Ifind myself leading the samekind of wonderful life. In hisinnocence, in his carefree man-ner, I find my own.
We lay there, him sleeping, mewatching him sleep. It waswarm and a lazy haze hungaround the mountains making itfeel more like August thanApril. A breeze stirred the air and cooled us and sent a butter-fly looping happily through theair. Mozart played on my iPodand I was filled with tranquility.
When Atticus finally awakenedhe sat up and stretched out hisneck as a coyote does when he
points his snout to heaven andhowls at the moon. He then gotto all fours, dropped down intothe yoga position known as the“downward dog” with his fannyup in the air and his front pawsstretched out far in front of him,his chest nearly touching theground. Eventually he sat upagain while leaning against me.He didn’t look at me, but off into the distance. Sleeping timehad become sitting time. ThePresidential Range looked likea dream in this August/Aprilhaze. As is his custom Atticusthen sighed and just sat andlooked – the perfect little
Buddha – and he didn’t movefor the longest time.
You see, we weren’t in a bed, but napping on top of the baldledges of South Moat. That’sthe kind of day last Saturdaywas. There was little snow to
be found on the trail and thesummit was mostly free of peo-
ple. After reaching the top wedrank and ate and then satagainst a rock. Eventually Iturned on my music and the twoof us drifted off.
It was a remarkable day atopone of the most astonishingsummits in the WhiteMountains. There are fewviews that are better than thoseyou receive as a gift for climb-ing the Moats. And yet I knowmany friends who have never climbed them and perhaps
never will even though they’veclimbed hundreds of moun-tains. In the all too common
predilection of many hikers inthe Whites, the Moats just don’tcut it. Not when it comes tosplendor, because the viewsfrom on top are stunning. Andnot when it comes to their own
beauty, for some of the bestartists in the world came to
New Hampshire to paint themin the 1800s. Unfortunately, tomany modern day peakbaggersthe Moats just don’t cut it. Butthe three Moats shouldn’t takeit personally because neither dosuch treasured places asChocorua, Welch-Dickey,
Pemigewasset, the
Doubleheads or the Baldfaces -to name a few. None of them isa 4,000-footer and thereforemany don’t bother with them. Ifeel sorry for those who forsakethese beautiful peaks as they dotheir best to keep up with eachother, playing a game of followthe leader.
Several years ago GeneDaniels, once the co-editor of the Appalachian MountainGuide and an AMC trip leader,had been hiking for so long thateventually he became the firstknown person to hike each of the 48 4,000-footers in each of the 12 months. After Gene didit, another fellow did it. Thenanother. Then a couple of woman. Now there’s a herd of hikers playing follow theleader. They call it the “grid”and it consists of 576 peaks, or
just doing the same 48 12 times – once in each month.
I knew a fellow who on a pic-ture perfect day crossed thePemigewasset Wildernesswhile climbing Zealand and thethree Bonds, a hike known as
perhaps the most breathtakingin the Whites. He explainedthat he only did it because he“needed it for this month”.
“I’d done them last month, too,so it was kind of boring but atleast I get to check them off thelist for this month.”

He had beenfollowing deer tracks along astone wall when a movementcaught his attention. “Almostbefore its image could travel tomy brain,” he wrote, “the whitehead of a weasel vanished inbetween the stones.” The ani-mal popped up again, disap-peared, and then revealed itself a third time, next to whereGordon was standing.
Gordon looked at the weasel.The weasel looked at Gordon.
Gordon squeaked. And then:“my day exploded.”
“From the wall, to the ground,to my pant leg, to my shoulder,that tiny animal gauged precise-ly the location of that squeak. If I had been prey, I’d have beendead. I literally yelped…theweasel disappeared, some-where. I was left in total disbe-lief of what had just happened.”
There are two kinds of weaselsnative to our region, the long-tailed and short-tailed. Goodluck telling them apart. Their coats are almost identical (atour latitude, both are typicallybrown in summer, white in win-
ter), and although long-tailedweasels are bigger on average,the two species overlap in size.As for tail length, this distinc-tion is not as obvious as thenames suggest, and I’ve yet tomeet a weasel who was willingto wait around while I took measurements. Most sightingsare one-blink blurs.
Weasels are elusive, and shy of people – except when they’re
not. These tiny carnivores havea reputation for audacious behavior. At times, their anticssuggest a total indifference toself-preservation.
Gordon’s encounter is oneexample. Another account Iheard last winter involved agame of tug-of-war between aman and a weasel over a deadmouse. Or consider last year’sinternet meme of a Britishweasel riding a flying wood-
pecker. Later reports suggestedthat the image was authentic,and indeed, it turns out there areother documented cases of weasels pouncing on birds andrefusing to let go, even when
they became airborne.How to explain such weaselEvel Knievel behavior?
According to biologist CarolynKing, in her book, The NaturalHistory of Weasels and Stoats,understanding these animals’ice age origins is the key tounderstanding everything aboutthem. Weasels evolved to chase
burrowing rodents deep beneath the snow. This special-ization produced a body typethat was perfect for hunting intight spaces. They’re small – even an adult male long-tailedweasel has a skull that measuresat most a little over an inch atits widest point – and anywherethe head can go, the rest of the
body can go, too. Weasels’ hipsand shoulders are narrow. Theyhave thin coats and little in theway of fat. Their spines areexceptionally flexible, and their legs are stubby, which meansthat they don’t require muchroom to push their bodies for-ward. Their long necks – I oncemistook one for a bird, at a dis-tance – permit them to carry
prey out in front of their chests,instead of dragging the carcassin between their front legs.
What all this adds up to is the body of master contortionist,and death-on-four-paws for small rodents. Weasels alsohave excellent low frequencyhearing and whiskers on thesnout and elbows – useful for navigating in the dark. They
have strong jaws, and a scissor bite. Basically, they’re amouse’s worse nightmare.
But this expertise comes at acost. A long, small body meansrapid heat loss and a high fuel
bill. Long-tai led and short-tailed weasels need to consume,give-or-take, about a quarter of their body weight every twenty-four hours simply to stay alive.
Now consider our cold winters,the energy requirements of hunting, and the fact that rodent
populations are boom and bust.Weasel populations tend to riseand fall along with their pre-ferred prey, and even in a goodyear, starvation is a commoncause of death.
In this context, it’s easy tounderstand why weasels, unlikemost predators, may put them-selves in hunting scenarios thatinvolve high odds of injury.When a twelve ounce weaselattacks a four pound snowshoehare and risks a lethal kick, or ricochets off a man’s pants in
pursuit of a squeak, this may be
the rational choice betwee possibility of harm, and thcost of missing dinner. apologies to FraRoosevelt, sometimes, weasel, the greatest risk iaversion itself.

Franconia Town Meeting 2016: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly
The Good: John Lachapelle was elected to the Select Board fol-lowing a successful write-in campaign. I believe that John will help bring transparency, fairness, and fiscal responsibility back to the Town’s governing body.
The Bad: A motion to reduce the bloated Budget proposed by theSelect Board was defeated by less than 10 votes. I believe that, at least in part, this happened because certain Town employees, whohad large salary increases contained in this Budget, rallied their
friends and supporters to come to Town Meeting and vote against any reduction in spending.
It was reported to me that, prior to Town Meeting, a rumor wascirculating that the Franconia residents who were advocating for a reduced Budget, wanted to close the Abbie Greenleaf Library.
It was also reported to me that an employee, who was proposed for a large salary increase was seen at Cannon Mountain, during a Lafayette School event, going from table to table and telling the
parents of students that this same group of Town residents wanted to “gut” the Recreation Program and urging them to go to Town
Meeting and vote against any spending reduction. Both of theserumors were completely untrue and this kind of tactic should becondemned by all fair-minded residents of Franconia.
The Ugly: My petitioned Warrant Article, which would haverequired organizations seeking charitable contributions from theTown to demonstrate whether or not they had provided services to
residents of Franconia for which they did not receive full compen- sation, was killed when one of the Selectmen made a motion totable it while the merits of the article were being discussed.
Russell T. Cumbee Franconia, NH
Replacing a Supreme Court Justice
Republicans are always crow-ing about how about standing
for the Constitution. Yet in thecase of nominating a replace-ment for the recently deceased
Justice Antonin Scalia, they
have conveniently decided that the Constitution can be put onhold until after the upcoming
Presidential election is over.
They continue to mindlesslyrepeat that “no Supreme Court
judges have been confirmed during a presidential election
period”. This is patentlyuntrue. There are at least 10
justices who have been con- firmed during the last year of an election period: Kennedy in1987, Fortas and Thornberryduring the Johnson administra-tion, Murphy during FDR’s sec-ond term, Cardozo during
Hoover’s presidency, Brandeisunder Wilson, Pitney under
Taft, Fuller under Cleveland,Taney and Barbour under
Andrew Jackson, and several more.
The Republican argumentsagainst having confirmationhearings don’t hold historical water and smack of the same
obstructionism that President Obama has been subjected to since his election in 2008. And in every case, every nomineehas had a confirmation votewithin 125 days of being recom-mended by the sitting president regardless of whether it was at the beginning, the middle, or the end of his administration.
One of our own senators, Kelley Ayotte, has very publiclydeclared her intention to work with the rest of her Republicancolleagues in the Senate toblock any attempt president Obama makes to name areplacement for Justice Scalia,even asking New Hampshire
voters to swallow her ming statements that “t
ple” should be allowed the next Supreme Court

A Ragged Look
After yet another night of rain,it’s just grey patches of ice thatremain amongst oozing sink-holes of mud and brown grass.Some dead raspberry canes
along the woods’ edge, havingsoftened and bent with the win-ter months, flap half-heartedlyin the gusts of the departingstorm. Twiggy fruit trees, baretamaracks, and browned cedarsfill the view. Stalks of last sea-son’s cover crop stand, spindly,in certain garden beds while inothers the mulch of goldenstraw lies limp and decidedlydirty-blonde in hue. Flower spires, kept over winter for the
birds’ benefit, show their attri-tion: though some remainupright, many more are bent,
broken, and angled against the
newly-bared ground.
It’s a bit of a ragged look.
The transition from the quietwhiteness of winter (barely, thisseason) to the blooming,
birthing of life called spring-time is an awkward one: theadolescence of the year.
Nature’s cast is ready for bulbsto emerge from the moist dirt,for buds to swell and flower, for grass to resume its greenness -all these things and more are inthe air of spring.
But, not yet. The days arelengthening, the air warming,the frost heaving and subsiding.Soon, colors will interrupt theendless palette of browns, andleaves - rather than branches -will blow with the breeze. At
the moment, though, it’s a bed-head look that reigns, a crusti-ness that has yet to be washedaway as winter wakens tospring.
Gazing about our clearing, therag-tag effect is unmistakable,especially under the grey skies
that dampen the morning lightas I write this. Even so, mymind’s eye can see what is com-ing. As the smell of wet dirtwafts to my nose and the songof the open river reaches myears, the sight of pinks and pur-
ples, yellows and oranges, and
the seemingly infinite shgreen seem a blink awthe thin blanket of wintaway, spring is laten
beneath the surface, reamake it’s debut.

Recently Microsoft has been pushing Windows 10 as animportant or recommendedupdate. When you runWindows update your Windows7 or Windows 8.1 computer will upgrade to Windows 10without your approval, this is
because Microsoft wants to getthe maximum number of com-
puters running Windows 10 sothey slowly transition awayfrom the older operating sys-
tems. If you wish not to havewindows 10 upgrade in your computer, I recommend doingmanual windows updates.
Windows 7 and 8.1, go to con-trol panel then Windows updateleft side select change settingsselect “check for updates but letme choose whether to download and install them” that willturn off automatic update. Thenrun check for updates once fin-
ished on the left side click important or recommended or Optional updates if Upgrade toWindows 10 is checked thenuncheck it, and install the other updates.
I have customer that called andsaid Windows 10 broke their computer, that is true if your have old software installed likeQuickbooks or Quicken and
printers that are no longer sup- ported under Windows 10. Isuggest going to the support
page of the manufacture for
your computer to see if Windows 10 drivers are avail-able for your computer, if notshould you upgrade your com-
puter Microsoft will installgeneric drives such as Videocard or Hard drive controllersthat may not work on your com-
puter. That also goes for the printer HP may not make driv-ers for old printers when itwould be cheaper to sell you anew printer with Windows 10
drivers.
Should your compuupgraded to Windows
have 30 days from the the install to roll bWindows 7 or 8.1. To

that you will be able to stand firm against theschemes of the devil. For our struggle is notagainst flesh and blood, but against the rulers,against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore,take up the full armor of God, so that you will beable to resist in the evil day, and having doneeverything, to stand firm. God bless you all. Walkin the Word,it's life!!!!!

Not Just Another HauntedHotel- The Balsams ResortHotelDixville Notch, NewHampshire
(Due to word count restrictions,I had to cut this article in half You can find the full version onthe Scared Sheetless website.Just search "Scared SheetlessBalsams Hotel" on Google and there you go!)
The Balsams was opened short-ly after the Civil War by aColonel Timothy Dix and at thetime was known as The DixHouse, which only had 25rooms. After a few owners, thegrand hotel would find a newowner that would take it newlengths. That man was Henry S.Hale from Philadelphia, whowas an inventor as well as anindustrialist. By 1918, Hale’svision for the hotel steadily
expanded until what is today.He doubled the room capacityto 400 guests by adding theHampshire House.
You'd think the hotel staff would be sworn to secrecy tonot tell the guests of the haunt-ings in fear their businesswould be tarnished. TheBalsams actually embraces itsghostly guests of the dead.According to the book, WeirdHauntings: True Tales of Ghostly Places: Stephen P.Barba, the president of thehotel, has been documentingghostly encounters since 1959.He doesn't discourage staff members to talk about the spir-its, but some workers would
rather not work with these spir-its. There was a bellhop whowould not, under any circum-stances, go up to the third floor,
because of spiritual happenings.
According to Mr. Barba, thespiritual activity came to anuprising when they did renova-tions at the Balsams and sincethen, paranormal activity has
been a regular occurrence.
Here are some guests that never checked out:
The Vanishing Beauty - Thelegend of the Vanishing Beautyat the Balsams starts with how adoorman was heading up to aroom. Upon getting halfway upthe last set of stairs, he lookedup and saw a beautiful womansitting in a chair just beyond thelanding. At first he thought itwas just a guest, but taking inconsideration to the hour, whichwas late, and her clothing, hewasn’t seeing just a former guest, he was seeing a ghost.Let’s just say, the doormanshowed himself out after seeingthis, but looking back, the beau-tiful woman had vanished. Shehas been spotted more thanonce since then.
Another guest is known as The Naked Man. Yep, The NakedMan - The legend of the NakedMan, according to Mr. Citro’schapter in the aforementionedWeird Hauntings book, is thatone night a couple were stayingin room 120. The wife waswoken to a man standing rightat the foot of her bed. Thinkingit was her husband, she asked if he was okay. The response was
not what she was expecting as itwas not her husband standing atthe end of the bed, it was anaked man. She was also aston-ished to find out that the manwas translucent. Before the fig-ure disappeared, t
