Maple Grades Have Changed__________By Jennifer Gornnert, DirectorDivision of Regulatory Services

In the US, maple syrup is usually sold by grade and color classi-fication. For example, Grade A Medium Amber. Color is usedbecause it has some general relation to the intensity of maple.However, inconsistencies between the grading systems used ineach of the maple producing states, as well as Canada, causedsome confusion.

About 12 years ago, the International Maple Syrup Institute,which is a voluntary organization, whose members include maplesyrup stakeholders both from the US and Canada, established acommittee to review existing regulations for pure maple syrup.The committee recommended establishing a more simplified anduniform description of grade names and nomenclature for puremaple syrup in the US and Canada. The two key objectives wereto eliminate inconsistent grade names, and to emphasize the tasteof the syrup by including flavor descriptors.

In 2013, the NH Maple Producers Association voted to adopt theproposed grade changes. As a result, in 2014, the NH Departmentof Agriculture, Markets and Food went through the rulemakingprocess and adopted the new grading system this past December.

The NH Maple Products Law and Rules provide NH maple pro-ducers a one year transition period to apply the new grading sys-tem. Meaning, in 2015 when purchasing maple syrup consumersmay see the old grading system, or the new grading system oncontainers. By January 1, 2016, all maple syrup produced in NHmust be labeled with the new grading system.

To assist the maple producers with informing the consumers of the new grading system, the Department worked with a local mar-keting company to create promotional items to be used at the

Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) forthe weird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you dont haveto.

Sooo, theres a question goingaround about what advice youwould give your teenage self.My first thought for me wouldbe You dont know every-thing! As I am reasonablyhappy these days (in spite ofrecently being pegged a diabet-ic), I would remind us in amind-boggling considerationthat to change any one thingcould change everything in amajor way! I have to wonder inan Its a Wonderful World sortof way what this part of NewHampshire would look/be likehad I never moved here in1973. Anyhow, what aboutyou? What advice would yougive your teenage self?

My needs are taken care of, andthere really is virtually nothingI want. That said, I did see twothings advertised that I mightwant but dont dare mentionbecause someone might get meone (or both) to surprise me)because of how wonderful Iam [*eye roll*]. Actually, Iprobably really dont have toworry though. Ones a thingand ones about 986.7 milesaway. One costs about$122,000; the other may run upto $116,000. Any guesses?

The way Life seems to worksometimes: two days before thenumerous boxes of Girl Scout

cookies I ordered came in...wait for it... I was pronounced adiabetic. Woo-hoo! Gotta loveit!

One of the bad things at work(about the only one) is the fre-quency of what I call TheRainbow Circle of Death(RCD). I presume the comput-er I use is set up for words andthe like, so whenever there isdown time and I surf the web abit, things like scrolling down apage or opening a link on apage often results in the RCD.Arrrgh!

Speaking of work, when I getin, one of the first things I haveto do is go through and get ridsof useless emails that came inovernight or over the weekend.Some days, there are hundreds.The majority are, of course,spam, but certain ones I have toopen as they just really mightbe from Oprah, Dr. Phil, orRachel Ray.

By the time this appears, I amhoping winter will have let go!Those who know me know Irarely swear, but this past win-ter... E-$@!&*#$-nough)! Ofcourse, when this appears itmay be in the 60s (but some-how I doubt it).

You are at a fast-food restaurantand your order gets rung upincorrectly. What do you do? Ifyou are normal, you say, Ithink you made a mistake.Easily fixable. If you are likeone Georgia man, you leap

behind the counter, choke thecashier, and punch him oncewith a closed fist. This badbehavior is becoming more andmore commonplace. One morenotable example happened afew months ago when an angrycustomer pulled a gun on aMcDonalds employee when heforgot to include a burger in theorder. Behave and be polite!

Schools havent been abouteducation for a long time. When7th grader Ari Waters attendeda dance at Mt. Orab (Ohio)Middle School, she selected asleeveless dress that belongedto her sister. The yellow dresswas just right for me. It fit meperfectly, Ari said. But whenshe arrived at the dance, shewas told the dress violated theschools dress code and told toput a coat over it. Aris mother,Gina Waters, demanded anexplanation from the vice prin-cipal. I said whats wrong withher bare arms? And she saidthey are sexual objects and Isaid whoa, wait a minute, Ginarecalled. She complained to theprincipal, Sabrina Armstrong,who released her own state-ment: Mt. Orab Middle Schoolhas an adopted dress code thatwe require all students to abideby for school functions.... Asfor the other allegations, thedistrict has looked into the situ-ation and deemed them to beunfounded. Gina says districtofficials are backing her. But itdid happen. These middleschoolers are 10 years of age upto 13. Theyre kids. Theyre notsexual objects. Theyre not sex-ual beings. That word shouldnever have been used and itshould never have been associ-ated with an arm, with a limb.[WKRC]

(WARNING: If you are not ofage [or are in the middle of

drinking something, skip to thelast Bit) A Nigerian womanfiled for divorce from her hus-band because his, uh, thing wastoo big, according to mediareports. Aisha Dannupawa, ahousewife and mother-of-three,asked for her marriage to hus-band Ali Maizinari to be dis-solved due to his large man-hood. Their divorce was grant-ed after just one week of mar-

riage in an Islamic Sharia courtin Nigerias Zamfara State.[www.dailymail.co.uk] (And Ithought I was the only one.... )

Finally, a thought to leave youwith: Courage is doing whatyoure afraid to do. There canbe no courage unless yourescared. Eddie Rickenbacker.

(Publishers note: With all thewind we have had blowingthroughout the north countryover the past few weeks, onewould expect some outages! I saythis as we rerun a column from2012 for Tom, because his inter-net was done during the papersdeadline. Hope you enjoy thisone from February of 2012.)

There is a joy and a privilege Ifeel when walking with Atticus.He is always just who he is.There is no play-acting, no pos-ing, no trying to slip into somerole that will make him moreappreciated, and he never worriesabout fitting in whatsoever.

Over the past six months we'vehiked fewer peaks than we haveover similar stretches in the pastsix years. The difference being,that this has been when our bookwas published and we went ontour. We continue to do appear-ances throughout New Englandand I'm fortified by the sheernumbers of folks who turn out.Of course Atticus could care less

who is there. In his own Taoistway, he's there and I'm there andthat's all that matters. So insteadof sitting up preening for theappreciative audience, he walksin, I pick him up, stand in front ofthe crowd and begin to tell ourstory. Before long he rests hishead on my shoulder and falls tosleep, his tender snores soothemy ears and I'm the only one whocan hear them. After that I placehim on the table and he lies downin front of all those people whoturned out to see him and goesback to sleep. Occasionally he'llflop and ear, or twitch one of hisbushy white eyebrows. Rarelydoes he do more than that.

Would any of us be so composedand relaxed in front of an excitedcrowd?

Atticus and I are comfortablepretty much wherever we go.Perhaps it came from the earliestdays when I carried him every-where I went when he was but awee pup. Or maybe it's becausewe just fit well together andalways have as if wed beenmade for each other. Perhaps it'sthe mountains weve climbed orhow each of us has faced ourshare of health issues over thepast few years - always side byside. Whatever the reason he issimply who he is and I take com-fort in that.

Not long ago we were in front ofa standing room only crowd inCambridge, Massachusetts and Ispoke as I always do - from thecuff, perhaps with a bit of wit andTourette's mixed in for danger.(One never knows what I will saynext. Heck, I dont know.)Someone asked a question and it

had to do with defining our story.Oh, the places I could go withsuch a question. And how to boilit down into a simple answer.After all, there are many mes-sages in Following Atticus. WhatI came up with was somethingthat sounded like the following:"When we are little and standingin front of our bedroom mirror,we dream of hitting the winninghomerun in the World Series,catching the winning touchdownin the Super Bowl, being electedpresident, or being given somegreat award. We dream innocent-ly of being great. But then lifecomes along and through thedecades it wears us down andbefore long we are thirty orforty...or fifty, and those dreamsof our youth are forgotten. Noone dreams of growing up to sitin a cubicle five days a week, orbeating his wife, or becoming analcoholic. So our story is howone little dog led me back tomyself, led me back to being thatlittle boy and all the wonders hedreamed of and we came to it bycrossing over all these beautifulmountains in New Hampshire."

Tennyson was correct when hesaid, "Tis not too late to seek anewer world. It's never too lateto pick up where we left off wheninnocence left off no matterhow old we are.

Last night I sat with a friend whois struggling in life - truly strug-gling. He is mired in fear and hasa difficult time making a rightstep. He gets glimpses of magicbut falls back on the old dysfunc-tions that nurtured his shortcom-ings and he sits and he doubtsand chooses to believe in any-thing but happy endings. But all I

could think about was how at anytime in life he can start anew 'toseek his newer world...' All hehad to do was to take a step, ablind step, perhaps even a giantstep into the unknown. I thoughtoff how life had dealt this fellowa raw deal but at the same timewhen his life was in ruins he stillhas a choice to make. That'swhen I thought of somethingRumi wrote: "Do not be satis-fied with the stories that comebefore you. Unfold your ownmyth.

So what does all of this have todo with a little dog and the mag-nificent White Mountains we livein? Everything.

There came a town when I facedmy fears and made that samekind of leap of faith. I followed alittle dog into these mountains two neophytes. We climbed the48 4,000-footers in spring andsummer; then in fall and winter.And what I discovered was thisgreat, mysterious, and mythicland was the medicine I needed.Of course Atticus was my avatar;my guide back to myself for heheld the innocence I had lost.

We didn't know what we couldn'tdo when we set out to hike 96peaks in 90 days of one winter.We simply went because wefound peace, tranquility, andinnocence in the journey up andover those summits and downinto the shadowy valleys.

After sitting in a dark and brood-ing room last night down inMassachusetts, with a friend whoseemed to have a difficult timebelieving he could make such aleap, I'm half ashamed to say that

some of his hopelessness rubbedoff on me. But when Atticus andI returned to the mountains andstepped onto a forest path thismorning, all of that changed. Wewere suddenly back where webelonged.

In the crunch of the snow under-foot, in the passing under thearchway of trees, in the climb upand away from what once heldme down, we arose as we alwaysdo, and conquered what I neededto conquer, what we all need toface and defeat time and again inlife.

Climbing mountains are a won-derful metaphor in life, inascending beyond doubts anddistractions that have us believ-ing we cant be great, that ourstory doesnt matter.

Nature offers up a wonderful set-ting for us to regain what itmeans to be human. And howironic that I found my morehuman side by getting away fromsociety and following a little dog.

Today, as we sat alone on a littlesummit in solitude and the sunfelt warmer than it should inFebruary, I felt clean and healthyand thoughts raced through mymind. But to my left, about fivefeet away, without a care in theworld, sat little Atticus content.I needed that mountain today.But more so I needed that littleguide who led me to the top andhad me breathing just as simplyand happily as he was when tak-ing in the view.

Tis not too late to seek a newerworld

De-lighted- An Encounterwith Theodore Roosevelt

Presented by Dwight Wilder onMonday, April 20th, at 7:00 PMat the Campton HistoricalSociety located at the Old TownHall in Campton located at 529NH Route 175.

In a life of sixty crowded years,Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) crammed not just a polit-ical path that culminated in twoterms as President of the UnitedStates, but a career encompass-ing the roles of naturalist,rancher, soldier, big gamehunter, conservationist, policecommissioner, governor,explorer, and the author of morethan thirty books, hundreds of

articles, and of tens of thou-sands of letters.

In his incredible range of inter-ests, he is rivaled only byThomas Jefferson as the mostintellectually accomplishedman to inhabit the White House a name he officially bestowedon the presidential residence.

His achievements in officeloom large in American history:the Panama Canal; nationalparks, forests, wildlife refugesand monuments; consumer pro-tection; national defense; andcorporate regulation, whiletransforming the Presidencyinto an activist role it has sincenever lost. Many of the issueshe confronted and causes he

embraced are still with ustoday.

Dwight Wilder passionatelybelieves the best history teachesnot just what happened, butalso what it was like. Aretired school administrator, heis a long-time volunteer educa-tor for the AppalachianMountain Club, and since 1995has been portraying TheodoreRoosevelt to classes in schools,at historical societies and sites,with conservation organiza-tions, and through Colby-Sawyer Colleges Adventuresin Learning program.Audiences have described theexperience as being in thesame room with TR - he speakslike him, dresses like him, and

even looks like him! Wilderearned his BA in History fromJohns Hopkins, with graduatework at Harvard, Southern NHUniversity, and Rivier College.

The presentation will be at theOld Town Hall in Campton,which is handicap accessible,and open to the public.Refreshments will be served.For information about theSociety, check our web site atwww.camptonhistorical.org

New Osprey Tracking Lesson Plans Available For Schools___and Europe," said MacLeod.World Osprey Week waslaunched last year byresearchers and educators in theUK. New Hampshire's ProjectOspreyTrack is an importantpartner. "One of our Ospreys,named Donovan, is one of thefeatured WOW Ospreys. He hasspent his winter just north of theOrinoco River in Venezuela andwill soon be heading northagain to return to his nest inTilton. Students from across theglobe will be following hisstory on interactive maps andblogs," said MacLeod. Later inthe spring MacLeod will be fol-lowing another NH bird namedArtoo. "Artoo is a very specialOsprey. We tagged him as achick at his nest in Bridgewater.We also tagged his brotherBergen at the same time. Artooand Bergen's father Art wastagged in 2012 and 2013 andArtoo's sister Bridget wastagged last year," saidMacLeod. Artoo has beaten theodds - only one in five youngOspreys survive their first yearof life - and will soon headnorth for the first time. YoungOspreys don't return to theirbreeding areas until they arenearly two years old, and ableto breed. Artoo arrived inVenezuela in October 2013 andspent part of his first winternear the Orinoco River. InJanuary 2014, he flew all theway down to the upper reachesof the Amazon River in Braziland has been there ever since.MacLeod expects Artoo toreturn to New Hampshire inApril of this year and try toestablish a nest in the LakesRegion.

Squam Lakes Natural ScienceCenter's Project Tracks Ospreysfor Fifth Year

The New Hampshire-basedOsprey satellite tracking projectis now spreading to 13 states inthe eastern US; all the way toFlorida. Thanks to a grant fromthe 3M Eco Grant and matchingfunds from Eversource Energyand the Jane B. Cook 1983Charitable Trust, Squam LakesNatural Science Center is creat-ing a network of followers atnature centers and schoolsalong the eastern migration fly-way. Unique lesson plans havebeen created for students at ele-mentary to high school levelsthat encourage understandingof Osprey migration, geogra-phy, threats to Ospreys, the lifecycles of Ospreys, etc. Thesecross-curricular teachingresources are available onlinefor free. Many of these lessonplans have been adapted frommaterials created in the UK byJ&P Murray, 2014 and WorldOsprey Week.

Iain MacLeod, ExecutiveDirector of the Science Centerand the leader of the project iseager to share these resources."We are delighted to make thesematerials available to any edu-cators who wish to use them.We do ask that teachers addtheir school to the WorldOsprey Week (WOW) websiteand join schools from all acrossthe country and in Europe andAfrica that are following andlearning about Ospreys. Yourschool will be featured on aninteractive map that also plotsthe migrations of several fea-tured Ospreys in the Americas

Informational Letter To The Editor_________________________

WARREN VOTERS

My heartfelt thanks to all who gave me their vote.

I am disappointed to not be sitting on the BOS. I have enjoyed serving the town and hope that

Mr. Clancey will find his new job veryinteresting and give it his all.

Sitting at the table gives one a new perspective on decision-making and responsibilty

to the voters and tax payers.

Pat Wilson

What is going on with theDepartment of Fish and Game.

This session at the State House,HB - 423 will designate theBobcat as the state wildcat.

The Fish and Game Departmentsaw fit to spend $250.000 on astudy of bobcat just to see if theycould add the species back ontothe trapping list. TheCommissioners want this to hap-pen. The conclusion from thewildlife division was that roadkill was enough to control thesize of the bobcat population. Inspite of this they are still consid-ering adding the cat to the trap-ping list!

Seven years ago the Departmentdid a study on the moose herdand found that all of the calvesthat they radio collared, perisheddue to parasites. Why than didthe Dept. go ahead and spend anadditional quarter a million dol-lars on a more recent study andfound that some 65% of thecalves collared, perished in thewinter of 2014 due to parasites.Winter tick and brain worm werea reality then and are a realitynow.

Now, they still want to put an lot-tery out for some 110 moose per-mits this coming season. Mothernature is controlling this herd butthe Dept. sees fit to hasten themoose herds demise.

Due in part to poor managementin the Department of Fish &Game and the lack of interest bythe state legislators to considerraising licensing fees for the last13 years to keep pace with thegrowing expenses to the Dept.,

they now have a short fall ofsome 3.5 million dollars. If this was the Navy andthe ship ran aground, the captainwould be "relieved of command."

So now who do you think is left topick up the shortfall?

The mission of F&G is to regu-late, protect, restore and con-serve the wildlife resources of thestate. The non-hunting citizens inthe state are restricted fromintentional feeding of bears forthe sole purpose of viewing witha $1000. fine; yet your neighborcan bait bears without a permitas long as they intend to shootthe bear.

RSA-208 doesn't give the execu-tive director the authority to reg-ulate the non-hunting citizens ofthe state. The non-hunting citi-zens of the state have no repre-sentation on the F&G commis-sion. Yet the department is look-ing for the state treasury for 1.5million dollars to help float themfor the 2015-2016 budget period.This money comes from the gen-eral fund.

Looks like they intend on gettingit. We the taxpayers gave them$699.000 last year. Spending$750.000 for 2015 and $750.000for 2016 from the General Fundfor this Dept. when they have notexercised all of their options togenerate revenue is a bad idea.

The Legislative BudgetAssistant's Office has no way ofvalidating the department'sinflated claim of how much rev-enue is coming into the state fromhunting/fishing activity's. Lookslike the non-hunting citizens aregoing to be forced to subsidize

F&G from now on, without a say.These are the same non-huntingcitizens the dept has no legalauthority to regulate.

Call your State Representativeand Senator and tell them nomoneys from the general fundshould be used to support this socalled "self funded" departmentand get it out of the budget. Tellthem that you would rather seethis money going to our nursinghomes.

Currently (2015 season) the depthas increased the number ofguide permits to 50 for bear (35permits grandfathered, 15 per-mits in lottery form ) resulting inrevenues of: $59.00 per permit =$2.950, $8.850. from federalmatch (Pittman-Robertson act) =Total revenue $11.800 to theDept.

50 guide permits come with sixbear transportation tags each,for a total of 300 bears allowed

to be taken per season. Theguides charge on the average$1,000 per bear, realizing$300.000. Again the dept.receives a total of $11,800 andthe guides receive $300,000.

Guide service for Moose can beas much as $5000 each, Deer$300-$500. It is unknown howmany deer or moose are takenwith the use of guides. Hence HB-298 broughtforward by the guides is designedto take advantage of this situa-tion.

The Department needs to stopgiving away our resources for lit-tle or no compensation allowingprivate groups to reap profit fromthe taking of the state's naturalresources. This Department wasnot intended to be used to satisfythe greed of private groups.

HB- 298, "Relative to the seasonsfor taking game animals andgame birds with the use of bait".

This bill will allow for seasonlong baiting for anything that isto be hunted. One of the sponsorsis Rep. Parent, Merrimack Dist.26, a NH licensed guide.(Conflict of interest?) FYI, 408bear were taken over bait lastyear.

The Dept. only listens to a smallminority in their decision mak-ing; let the small minority bailthem out. If this was a referen-dum state, the issue of baitingwould be resolved and the guideswould all be gone (apparentlythey can't guide unless the havebait sites), which in turn willrestore the Dept. to fulfill theirmission without this greedy out-side influence and restore hunt-ing as a sport.

That is something I would sup-port and ask our Legislators tosupport.

GRAFTON COUNTYNEWS

The Grafton CountyCommissioners have initiatedthe Fiscal Year 2016 budgetprocess. Grafton Countys fis-cal year starts on July 1, andthere is a great deal of work tobe done before then.

By now, each Department Headwill have developed their indi-vidual budget requests. Overthe next several weeks, eachDepartment Head will thenmeet with the Commissioners

and Executive Director toexplain and defend each lineitem of their budgets.

The Commissioners will alsomeet with representatives of theEmployee Council and, in con-tract years, the employee union,to set cost-of-living increasesfor employees.

The Commissioners will issue arecommended budget that isthen sent to the Grafton Countydelegation- the 27 elected StateRepresentatives from GraftonCounty who have ultimate

budget approval authority. Thedelegations ExecutiveCommittee- threeRepresentatives from eachCommissioner district- willfirst meet individually witheach Department Head and theCommissioners to examine thebudget in depth.

After they have made theirchanges to the budget, a PublicHearing will be scheduled.

The final step of the process is avote by the entire GraftonCounty delegation on the budg-et.

If the process sounds time-con-suming, it is because it is. TheGrafton County budget directlyimpacts property taxes, andmultiple layers of oversight andapproval exist to ensure thatcritical services are maintainedwith minimal impact to the tax-payers. Its also important topoint out that the County budg-et does not exist in a vacuum.Federal and State budget andpolicy decisions have a directimpact on county revenues andexpenditures, and ultimatelyaffect county tax rates. I planto write about some of theseissues in the future.

As always, I encourage con-stituents to call me at 603-747-4001 or contact me via my web-site at www.lindalauer.com ifyou have any questions or con-cerns.

In addition, I invite everyone tovisit Grafton Countys websiteat www.co.grafton.nh.us, whereyou can see the schedule ofupcoming meetings.

Adventures in Homesteading

Beth Weick

A Changing Season

This is one of those sub-seasonswhose approach is hard tocatch, but whose presence isundeniable. The soft mud alter-nating with frozen ruts; thestrengthening sun; the snowslumping towards the not yetvisible ground in its transfor-mation from solid to liquid; thewalk home characterized bypostholing, or by the obstaclecourse of avoiding frozen pock-marks of footprints; the maples

growing their buds as the sapbegins to run. All of a sudden,it seems, were here. A day ortwo is all it takes to feel thechange towards spring. No, itsnot even that definitive, butrather an evolving flux betweenwinter and spring, winter andspring, back and forth acrossthese March days.

Indeed, the last few hours alonehave witnessed rain, sleet,snow, overcast clouds, brightblue sky, still woods, and blus-

tery gusts. This time of year,winter and spring twirl inlimbo; it is the time betwixt twoworlds. Between Jack Frostand Spring Peepers is a constantseasonal negotiation for bothforeground and background.

Its not just the weather, whichwe are all so adept at speakingof. The dance around what hasbeen and what is to comeexudes from our very beings.Plans abound in anticipation ofbare ground and warm days, butso does ambivalence as weenter the guesswork of organiz-ing the future that has yet toarrive.

Admittedly, I love this back andforth of the seasons. I am rel-ishing what remains of winter -the months of relaxation andindoor projects - binding offknitting projects, eagerly mak-ing my way through the three

books Im reading, and findingcreative ways to cook the pota-toes, carrots, onions, and garlicthat continue to abound (five-six months after their harvest-ing) in our winter storage. Atthe same time, my excitement isbuilding for the arrival of anactive season - garden andhomestead plans fill various to-do lists whose length, frankly,can be intimidating.

Really, though, Im hesitant forthe new epoch heralded by theMarch equinox - and it is rootedmore in my love of winter thanantipathy for anything else. Ido love winter. The seasonsharsh beauty and starkprospects imbue their ownshade of joy and wonder in theshort, gray days. The winterlandscape offers its unique cal-ligraphy of frailty and vulnera-bility which resonates harmo-niously with something in my

spirit. The frills of warmermonths are stripped away inwinter and simple comforts aresimple and comfortable, andhard-earned on the homestead.Reality is never more distantthan the wind whipping at ourcabin door, or the storm shroud-ing the cabin in snow.

Bare ground, and Spring, andthe season of rebirth and growthwill, however, undoubtedlyreturn. And when it comes, thesmell of rich dirt and forest duffwill kindle an excitement andan energy within me that willburn bright until the freezereturns, and the ice and snowput the warmer world to bed fora spell. Without these luish sea-sons of seeds, of harvests, offirewood and of woods work,the fulfillment and satisfactionof winter would be short-lived.

Still, a part of me smiles andcheers when I see the Marchrain return to snow, or the sunnyafternoon give way to blusterynights and chilled mornings.

Spring is getting closer!Contact Beth [email protected] for allyour garden needs: annual,perennial, herbal, edible, orornamental (see BusinessDirectory listing under GardenDesign & Services).
