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

Generation Gap! One of theproblems I have is that beingolder I have lived in a betterworld (or when I was wayyounger, at least it seemed bet-ter). That said, why do peopleshow sorrow and regret onlyafter they have done somethingwrong? Most know beforegoing in that something iswrong, but they do it anyhow.

Stuck between a rock and ahard place (colloquialism forScylla and Charybdis) few ofmy friends use email any more,and I dont text, so its eithermessages on Facebook or therare actual phone call. BecauseI live in a dead zone, I prettymuch only have a landline. Nowonder no one calls.

So, TV still says, Well beback after these messages and aword from your local station.Technically, they are messages,and there was a lot more than aword. They must think werestupid. Not only that, but mostnews videos I want to watchonline are prefaced with a videoad. As a heads up, one radiopersonality said his only realpurpose in life was to keep lis-

teners tuned in until the nextadvertisement. (Isnt that trueof most media?)

You know how some things juststrike one as funny? In CT,there is a Bulkley Avenue.Some words have strong con-notations, and that one jumpedout in my mind as pretty funny.(Bulkley... lol.)

So if there were plenty ofjobs out there for our citizens,would we have to return to adraft?

I am wondering if its just me,but it seems we (or at least I)am feeling things more deeplythese days. Perhaps it startedwith 9/11, patriotism, BostonStrong, Mothers Day,Memorial Day, etc., but allseem to have deeper, moreintense feeling connected. Doyou feel the same way?

You ever notice how oftenthe word wealthy shows in thedescriptions of the Law andOrder franchise episodes.

Speaking of wealthy, threethings in particular are killingme: home heating, gasoline,and health insurance. Whoswatching out for We the peo-ple?

I thought about running foroffice, but I have to be honest I dont know enough; its all tocomplicated (by design?)However, there may be hope.American Idol star ClayAiken was declared the winnerof a Democratic congressionalprimary in North Carolina; hewon by fewer than 400 votes,one day after his chief opponentdied suddenly. The results fromthe election were certified bythe counties showing that hewon the 2nd CongressionalDistrict contest over thedeceased Keith Crisco and athird candidate. Aiken endedup with 11,678 votes, the deadCrisco with 11,288, and ToniMorris with 5,616. Interesting.

So, at the end of the day (orseries), so what if your teamwon! Other than braggingrights (or maybe a nice bettingvictory), how is your life anybetter? Does a teams title giveyou a raise, discounts on gas,better health insurance? Justwondering.

A Man of Letters? I once had abrief-lived writing business inthe area. I offered services tohelp with press releases, proof-reading, resumes, and the like,but what I really enjoyed mostwas writing letters of com-plaint. Unlike the world of law-suits in which pretty much any-one can sue anyone over themost ridiculous of issues, I wasmore discerning if someonehad a reasonable concern orcomplaint (or words of praise),I wrote and sent off the letters. Imention this because I havebeen back at writing some let-ters. Interestingly, the two thatwere not answered were sentthrough online forms. Maybeits time to resurrect the busi-ness. Need something written?

Breaking News: I have another

reader! In Hannaford, a gentle-man let me know he was reader#5! Woo-hoo!

Its not all bad. When a coupletook their almost-one-year-olddaughter to eat at the CarinoJapanese Bistro in Canada, theybrought their own high chair tothe small, non-kid-friendlyrestaurant, and cleaned up aftertheir daughter. When the checkcame, they noticed $5.00 wassubtracted from the bill for awell-behaved kids discount.Thats pretty neat! ThatsCanada for you. (BTW, a PapaJohns store in NYC describedon the receipt the waitingInStore pickup customer aslady chinky eyes. Thats NYfor you.)

The recent tragic events in NH(police officer shooting, fire,and house explosion) were bigenough to make the nationalnews. I should have known itwas big when WMUR devotednearly two hours to only thatstory (no other news, weatheror sports). Speaking of which,there have been many tributesto the fallen officer. I hope heknew what an impact he had onso many people. It always both-ers me that such tributes toooften come after someone isgone. I hope he knew. I alsohope you let people in yourlives know because we neverknow....

Later.

By Andrew Timmins, N.H. Fishand Game Bear Biologist

It seems that people in NewHampshire may not be takingthe old adage "A Fed Bear Is aDead Bear" seriously enoughthese days. Recent eventsacross the state involving thefeeding of bears show a trendthat has serious consequencesfor both communities andbears.

In 2006, the New HampshireFish and Game Departmentestablished a rule (FIS 310.01)that prohibits a person fromfeeding bears, either intention-ally or inadvertently, given thatdoing so causes nuisance situa-tions, results in property dam-age and can become a humansafety concern. Not directly

mentioned in the rule language,but of equal importance, is thefact that feeding bears habitu-ates bears to humans and essen-tially eliminates, or severelyalters, the natural behavior andforaging patterns of bears.

Since 2006, Fish and Game hasaddressed a number of inten-tional bear feeding sites aroundthe state, at some of which peo-ple had been feeding bears forover 20 years. Collectively,staff from the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture - WildlifeServices, Fish and GameWildlife Biologists andConservation Officers haveworked hard to identify inten-tional feeding sites and try tohelp people who are feeding tounderstand the serious conse-quences of this practice. Some

have been cooperative, others,less so. People who are feedingbears are initially asked to stopvia a formal warning. If theyfail to stop, they are then in vio-lation of FIS 310.01 and may beissued a summons. In manyinstances, a formal warning,coupled with education, hasbeen effective. This year, how-ever, this sensible approachdoesn't seem to be working aswell.

During the first week of May,Fish and Game discovered fourhistorical feeding sites in NewHampshire where intentionalbear feeding has resumed,despite previous formal warn-ings being issued. One site inparticular, located on West SideRoad in North Conway, hasbeen particularly challenging

for bear managers. In the areaknown as Birch Hill, bearshighly habituated to humanfood have been breaking intomotor vehicles, garages, sheds,and killing livestock. Fish andGame has been forced todestroy two bears at this loca-tion in one week that weredestroying property of posing ahuman safety concern. The scatof these animals has been full ofboth black oil sunflower seedand cracked corn, suggestingpurposeful feeding. Thisprompted Fish and Game toinvestigate an historical feedsite located within a half mile ofthe location where the bulk ofthe conflicts were occurring.The resident had been previous-ly warned to cease feeding, buthad resumed the activity inspring of2014.

The decision to kill these ani-mals was not an easy one andnot taken lightly. However,there were few other options forthese bears, for a variety of rea-sons. The less developed north-ern part of the state, wherebears are typically releasedwhen translocated, is still cov-ered in snow, offering no natu-ral food.

The behavior of these animalsand the fact that the conflictswere becoming more severewith time forced a response.Both bears were large adultmales, which tend to havestrong fidelity to their homerange and therefore would like-ly have returned very quickly ifmoved. In my opinion, thesebears had essentially been"ruined" by intentional feeding

and human habituation. Theyhad lost the ability to be wildbears that avoid human-occu-pied areas.

Intentional backyard feeding isnot the only problem. A numberof locations around the stateexperience bear/human con-flicts each and every year. Mostare areas with open or plastic-topped dumpsters (not bearproof), unsecured householdgarbage, bird feeders or unpro-tected poultry and livestock.Despite working with these res-idents year after year, thingsnever seem to change. Why isthat? Why are bears so deval-ued by some members of thepublic that they refuse tochange their own behavior?Why is there an expectation bysome members of the publicthat Fish and Game shouldremove or kill the bear, so thatpeople are not inconveniencedby the need to change theirbehavior?

Without support and assistancefrom the public, Fish and Gamelacks the ability to significantlychange human behavior andreduce bear/human conflicts.We can't force restaurant own-ers to use locking, steel-topdumpsters. We can't make peo-ple put electric fence aroundtheir chickens. We can't forcepeople to stop feeding birdsduring spring and summer. Wecan't mandate the appropriatestorage of garbage and otherfood attractants by homeownersso that they are inaccessible towildlife. All of these are exam-ples of relatively simple, effec-tive, commonsense solutions.

We can't convince people not toselfishly feed bears, despite thedetriment to the animal, if weare not informed of the loca-tion. We can't challenge peo-ple's constitutional right toshoot bears that cause propertydamage, despite the refusal ofthe landowner to even attemptto mitigate the conflicts. I findthis very discouraging, becausewe are so fortunate to have thismagnificent wild animal in ourstate.

Isn't it worth changing yourown behavior just a little, sothey can live here, too?

We have been trying to get thismessage out for many years.Most residents and visitors ofNew Hampshire are familiarwith Fish and Game's educa-tional campaign "Something'sBruin in New Hampshire Learn to Live with Bears." Thiscampaign began in the mid-1990s and was designed to edu-cate the public on bear behaviorand provide proactive steps thatthe public could follow to avoidconflicts with bears.Essentially, it was hoped that ifthe public better understoodbears, perhaps human tolerancetowards bears would increase.One common message fromthis campaign is the slogan "AFed Bear is a Dead Bear" -- astraightforward way of sayingthat allowing bears to becomehabituated to human environ-ments and dependent onhuman-related foods hassevere, and often fatal negativeeffects on the animal.

This education campaign hashelped the public better under-stand the behavior of bears andhas reduced conflicts. However,the recent incidents in which

I've had to dispatch bearsbecause of stubborn humanbehavior is making me losefaith. Is the public even listen-ing anymore? Is our society thatself-centered and calloustowards the wildlife of ourstate?

The next time you are review-ing a friend's photos of a sowwith cute cubs lying next to apile of feed in their back yard,think about the consequencesfor the bear, and her cubs, whoare learning behaviors that mayresult in their future death.When you see a dumpster withmuddy paw prints on the sideand garbage strewn through thewoods, think long and hardabout that image. Is that howyou picture New Hampshire'smajestic black bear? The nexttime you hear about Fish andGame biologist climbing to thetop of a tree to remove cubsbecause the sow was shot at anunsecured chicken pen, askyourself if that was a reasonableresolution to a conflict.

If you find these questions pro-voking, please lend your sup-port and assistance.

Follow the Something's Bruinguidelines athttp://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Wildlife/Somethings_Bruin.htm.

Talk to your friends and neigh-bors and encourage them to beproactive in preventing con-flicts with bears. Get activewithin your community andwork for change.

Change may be hard but it isnot impossible. It's our ownhuman behavior that createsthese conflicts, and therefore itis our own behavior that needsto be modified.

Bear & Human Conflict; A Need For Change______________________

A Walk In The Woods_________________________________________

Honor Our Veterans

By David Falkenham, UNH Cooperative ExtensionGrafton County Forester

My early morning walks havebeen marked by cool, windyand wet weather. The earlymorning sun struggles to comethrough a slate toned sky whichis streaked with clouds in alter-nating shades of crimson, blueand grey. The damp wind cutsthrough most clothing andbrings with it periodic showersof light rain and sleet.

Despite the seasonally coolweather, the mornings have pre-sented the usual wildlife splen-dor of singing birds and drum-

ming grouse. The damp quiet ofthe hillsides is frequently bro-ken by the gobble of turkeysand the unsettled sky oftengives way to the whistlingwings of migrating geese andducks. Spring has been slow,but that just gives me more timeto enjoy it.

I have recently been askedabout the apparent lack of somespecific wildlife. One personnoted that partridge used to beso common, but now you neversee them. The other commentwas similar, regarding theapparent lack of snowshoe harethat used to be easily seen onroadsides at night. Questionsabout the lack of animals thatwere once so common can because for concern, howeverusually it is a simple matter ofhabitat and land use history.

Both partridge (ruffed grouse)and hare have very specifichabitat requirements. Theythrive in very thick young foresthabitat with lots of dense soft-wood combined with a mix ofmaple, apple trees and aspen. Anice shrubby component ofthorn apple and berry bushes

adds cover and food for theseanimals and many others.

The peak of perfect wildlifehabitat came in this areabetween 1900 and about1960/70. There were two histor-ical events that created this per-fect blend of habitat. First therewas farm abandonment. It ishard to pinpoint the exact timethat most farms were aban-doned in New England. The bigrush came after the Civil War,but many small farms hung onthrough the 1960s. These aban-doned farms and pastures grewinto dense young forests thatwere loaded with apple treesand other berry producingshrubs. Farm abandonmenttook place over a broad span oftime hence there was a steadysupply of old farm habitatbetween 1900 and the 1970s.

The second historical event wasthe broad scale clear-cuttingthat occurred on the WhiteMountain National Forest fromthe 1950s through the early1980s. The practice of evenaged silviculture employed bygovernment foresters was very

Dearest friend,

Early the other morning, whenthe faintest hint of light filteredinto our backyard, Atticus and Idrove to the southern side ofChocorua and walked throughthe flat approach of the awaken-ing forest.

While youve been away themountains have begun tobloom. This past week the col-ors of the forest floor werebright and hopeful and far out-shone the ceiling where treetopbuds slowly emerge like starswaiting to shine. Its the onlyweek of the year that its likethis and I wished I could stoptime, or at least make it linger abit longer until you return to themountains you love. Alas, thereis no stopping nature, nor is itpossible to make time wait forus.

The air was cool and damp andthe dawn smelled fresh. Dewdrops clung here and there like

tiny crystal ornaments and wemoved silently along the trail.On either side, the speckledleaves of trout lilies appearedand infantile beech leaves wereshedding their shells and begin-ning to hang like perfectlycreased green bats. Underfootthere was mud, running water,dry earth, and both slick anddry rocks.

I first came to the mountainswith Atticus on weekends toescape a busier life, got caughtup for a couple of years in peak-bagging, but then thingschanged when I realized myreason for coming here.

Mountains didnt start out rep-resenting checkmarks on a listfor me, and they soon reclaimedtheir rightful place in my prior-ities. He and I hike for theexperiences, the views, and notso we can say weve climbed acertain peak so many number oftimes. Its because of this that Istopped counting peaks. Itsbecause of this that I cannot tellyou how many times Atticusand I have been to the top ofChocorua. Suffice it to say itsbeen numerous times and allbut two have been at momentsof the day and year when wehad the tabletop summit to our-selves. At busier times, it getsto feel a bit like Disneyland as aconga line of hikers file up thePiper Trail and the horn of thegreat peak looks like fruit beingsmothered by crawling ants.

But who can blame the crowds?Its a breathless place to be andso close (compared to otherpeaks) to the people coming

north along Route 16.

As we climbed through the for-est and the trees became shorterand twisted, the sun climbedwith us. Although it wouldgrow warmer throughout theday, the air was still cool thatearly in the morning and Iturned to feel its golden warmthon my face. Thats when Ilooked down at Atticus, rightafter he nudged me with hisnose like he does on mountain-tops, and I picked him up. Heleaned against me, looked intothe light and sighed.

I couldnt help but watch him.Hes at peace in the woods, buteven more so up high.

The tip of his pink tongueshowed and he gazed to thesouth and east. In that light, Icould see the gray thats beencoming on. Its worked its wayup his body and is just now,after all these years reaching hishead. His eyes, normally sodark, were lit by the sunlightand glowed with warmth and itwas clear that he was happy.He sighed again, let his weightsettle onto my arm and into mychest, and we stood there awashin that perfect light for severalminutes.

When I finally put him downwe scrambled up the last steeppitch to the summit, but itsclear that this year its differentfrom the past. In the past, Ivealways followed and hes had towait for me. But lately, even inour walks around Jackson, thereare times when he follows me.I noticed it even more so on the

way up Chocorua. I stopped forhim as much as he used toalways stop for me in the past. Imade sure he had more water todrink and I gave him the optionto turn back, but he refused.Instead,he got up and led theway, then we walked together,and on from time to time hedropped back a few paces.

In other years,he has stoodproudly atop the rocky plateauof New Hampshires mostmajestic peak with a sparkle inhis eye and looked down at meand waited for me to join him.But this past weekend wearrived on the top together. Weshared more water, I gave himsome treats, then we shared theview with him in my arm.

Ive lost track of the check-marks but not the experiences.Each of the mountains weveclimbed through the years islike another paragraph in thebook of our lives. One by onethey add onto each other andbuild and build what we shareand all that weve done.

But when I was holding him theother morning and we slowlyturned three hundred and sixtydegrees it hit me that there willcome a time, perhaps not too faraway, when it will just be me uphere.

As I wrote at the beginning ofthis letter, there is no stoppingnature, nor is it possible tomake time wait for us.

Atticus is now twelve. Weclimbed Mount Garfield, ourfirst peak up here, when he was

two. Reality and memory havethe ability to stir us to sadnesswhen considering how those welove age. The years and peaksflash by like a brief period oftime when I look back on themall after ten years from afavorite summit that we had toyourselves.

One of the special treats of aNew England spring are fiddle-head ferns, which grow wildalong mossy stream banks.They are simply the immature

leaf fronds of the ostrich fernthat have not yet opened. Fernleaves are poisonous once theyopen. Their taste is slightlyearthy and nutty, similar to across between artichokes andasparagus.

After a fiddlehead is removedfrom the stalk, the cut endbegins to turn brown. Be sure totrim back the stem about tothe healthy green section beforecooking.

Basic Sauteed Fiddleheads

1 TBSP salt

1 lb fiddlehead ferns2 tsp vegetable oil1 - 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Rinse fiddleheads and removeany brown ends or mushy parts.Bring 2 quarts of water to aboil. Add salt and fiddleheads.Cook 1 minute. Drain and rinsewith cold water.In a large frying pan, heat oilover medium-high heat. Addfiddleheads. Cook, stirring,until they start to brown (about5 minutes). Add garlic andcook, stirring, until garlic is fra-grant and just starting to color,about 1 minute. Serve immedi-ately.

Note: vegetable oil or grape-seed oil is best used so as not tooverpower the delicate taste ofthe fiddleheads.

Fiddleheads and Potatoes

1 lbs small potatoes, scrubbedand halved lb fiddlehead ferns, cleanedand trimmed2 TBSP vegetable oil or butter1 shallot, thinly slicedsalt & pepper to taste

Bring potatoes and water to aboil and cook until knife-tender,about 8 minutes. Add fiddle-

heads and cook until brightgreen, about 1 minute. Drainand set aside.Heat oil or butter in a skilletover medium-high heat andcook shallot until golden, about2 minutes. Add potatoes andfiddleheads and cook, stirring,until golden brown, about 4minutes. Season with salt andpepper.

Note: For an added variation,increase butter or oil to 3-4TBSP and sautee - cup ofmushrooms with the shallot andthen continue as directed

The Adventues OfTom & Atticus____

Letter To The Editor___________________ Nobody Asked, Just My Opinion___________________________Am I the only one that is sick ofhearing guns getting blamed foreverything that is wrong today?

School shootings while tragicand shocking have a lot more todo with the shooter, then theweapon of choice. I rememberwhen I was in High School therewere always rifles and shotgunsin peoples cars and trucks andnot one ever jumped out andbrought it self into the school andopened fire.

Most everyone was raisedaround firearms and respectedwhat they were capable of .Wewere taught how to shoot andhow to maintain them. Now theywould rather try to keep the kidsaway from anything to do withguns. Instead of having someoneteach them, they just learn whatthey see on TV or while playingvideo games. Then everyone isshocked when a kid gets hold of agun and something unfortunatehappens. Then we hear thingslike we don't know how Jr gothold of a gun we always told himnever to touch one, because weall know kids will never touch ortry to play with something theirparents tell them not to.

We have our kids take Drivers Ed

to learn about a tool that is scaryat first and also deadly if notused correctly. Yet somehow aftera lot of studying and practicethey learn to drive. Why notapply the same theory to gunsand at least over some sort ofGun safety class in School?

I know I just heard a lot of sighsand moans and groans from someof you but ask yourself this whichis more dangerous someone whois educated about gun safety orwhat you have right now?

The final thing I really thinkneeds to go is this everyone getsa trophy mentality. If kids can notlearn how to deal with losingwhile they are young, how can weever expect them to deal withfailure and rejection when theyget older. A fine example is thekid that stabbed a girl to deathbecause he couldn't handle hersaying no when he asked her tothe prom.

Where is the incentive to workhard, put your time in on thepractice field and feel the suc-cess of all your hard work if noone is keeping score?

If you have read my opinioncolumns over the years, youknow that there are a number ofthings which anger me to noend. Mostly politics, politicians,people who feel a need to hurtothers and the list goes on andon and on.

The continued feeding of ourblack bears by uneducated peo-ple is yet another that makes myblood boil.

However, this time Iblame bothNew Hampshire Fish & Gameand the people feeding thebears.

Every single year we gothrough the same exactshenanigans! People feed thebears and the Fish &GameDepartment says, please dontfeed the bears, a fed bear is adead bear!

Okay, as far as I am concerned,enough is enough with bothsides. First, people need to stopfeeding the damn bears! PERI-OD!

Secondly, those who continue todo so, need to pay a fine! PERI-OD!

Why is it that the Fish & GameDepartment continues to simplyslap people on the wrist?According to them, theres rulesagainst it! Well, so be it then. Ifpeople are breaking the rule,FINETHEM! End of conversa-tion.

Quit walking on egg shellsaround the subject and just dothe job. It seems to be the only

way that people will get them-selves educated. Enough isenough!

I write this, because of the storywhich is on page A5 and A6 thisissue. Please read it and youllunderstand why Iam writingthis.

This excerpt taken from thatexact story in this issue of thepaper! In 2006, the NewHampshire Fish and GameDepartment established a rule(FIS 310.01) that prohibits aperson from feeding bears,either intentionally or inadver-tently, given that doing so caus-es nuisance situations, resultsin property damage and canbecome a human safety con-cern.

So my question is this- whatgood is the rule if nothing hap-pens when you break it?

Feeding our bears not only cre-ates a problem for them, but forthe many people throughout thebears romping grounds. Dothese people who feed the bearactually realize that its just nottheir house the bears will lookfor something to eat if they feedthem and that when they see ahouse, they automatically feel itnecessary to try and get somefood.

Please people, truly all you aredoing is killing the bears! Asevidence in the story within thepaper.

Get over it! The bear have plen-ty to eat in the woods. Theyhave survived and thrived for

thousands of years without usfeeding them. Iam certain theywill continue to do so.

As for the Fish & GameDepartment, Isay stop the non-sense and deal with the problemat hand as it should be dealtwith. There are laws, rules andregulations for thousands ofthings in this country and in thisstate! Its time to start enforcingthis one. Period. No ifs, ands orbuts!

Nobody Asked, Just MyOpinion... ~BEF

Continued from page B1

I do not know how much longerwe will be able to do thistogether, but I know we stillhave mountains before us andsummits to stand atop of. Imjust not in as much a hurry toget to them any longer. Timechanges us. Our bodies, ourexpectations, what we aregrateful for. I figure to get tothose waiting peaks well justhave to reverse roles in thefuture. There will be anincreasing number of dayswhen Atticus will be followingme.

We sat by ourselves up there forclose to an hour. He, a few feetaway looking north to the high-er peaks, me, with a pen andpaper to write a letter inresponse to your last one. Thegentle kiss of the breeze, thegrowing warmth of the sun, andthe silence of the mountaintopmade it heavenly.

In time we heard some voicesoff in the distance, then we sawthe approaching hikers. Thatswhen Atticus came to me,nudged me with his nose to letme know it was time to go. AsI stepped off the summit hestayed on top of it.

What? What do you want?

He answered with his eyes. Healways does.

I climbed back up to him and hecame close. I picked him upand he sat in the crook of myelbow and we took in one lastlong view before I put himdown. Before leaving I realizedthere are so many mountains tovisit still, and each time may beour last on that mountain.

Something caught in my throatwhen that realization hit me as Ifollowed him down the steeprocks and we began the walkback to the valley.

This is not the same letter Istarted on the summit and thatwill be in your mailbox await-ing your return.

See you both soon.Tom

Come before His presence withsinging. Know that the Lord, He is God.It is Hewho has made us, and not we ourselves; We areHis people and the sheep of His pasture. Enterinto His gates with thanksgiving, And into Hiscourts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and blessHis name. For the Lord is good; His mercy iseverlasting,And His truth endures to allgenerations.

OHRV And Snowmobile Registrations Now Automated______Programs At Quincy Bog_______________Local Expert Iain MacLeod LedFirst Weekend Walk of the Year

The Quincy Bog Natural Areawalks began on Sunday, May 18with a beginning birding pro-gram. Iain MacLeod, executivedirector of the Squam LakesNatural Science Center (SLNSC)led the walk. The program wasfree and open to public.

Iain joined SLNSC in 2006 afteran eighteen year career with NHAudubon (NHA). He was mostrecently NHA's Vice President ofPublic Affairs and previouslyserved as Audubons Director ofCenter Operations, overseeingthe statewide education outreachefforts. Iain started his career inhis native Scotland where heworked several years with theRoyal Society for the Protectionof Birds. He has birded in NewHampshire for more than 20years and is a member of the NHBird Records Editorial Team and

NH Rare Birds Committee. Helives in Ashland.

Weekend walks take place peri-odically on Saturday or Sundayat the Bog (131 Quincy Bog Rd.in Rumney), May throughSeptember.

Walks are free and open to thepublic, and will be held (light)rain or shine, but may be can-celled in a severe storm.

All walks leave from the NatureCenter. Wear comfortable walk-ing shoes; bring drinking waterand bug spray.

For a list of all the 2014 summerprograms, including Wednesdayevening talks and a mycologyworkshop in September, visitwww.quincybog.org

For more information, contactBetty Jo Taffe at 786-2553 oremail, [email protected] .

Beginning with the 2014-2015registration year, Off-HighwayRecreational Vehicle (OHRV)and snowmobile registrationcertificates will be computer-generated and printed by theagent on regular paper.Customers still must visit theirOHRV registration agent in per-son to register their vehiclesand receive their decals --online registration is not avail-able. A $2 transaction fee willbe charged per vehicle registra-tion; this fee goes to the vendorfor the automated system,Sovereign SportsmanSolutions, to cover develop-ment and operating costs. . Forexample, a resident ATV regis-tration, previously $55, will be$57. A resident club membersnowmobile registration, previ-

ously $64, will be $66.OHRV registration agentsaround the state have alreadybeen trained on the new system,says Fish and Game LicensingSupervisor Sue Perry. "I thinkour agents are going to behappy with electronic registra-tions," said Perry. "Automationwill streamline their end-of-month administrative reportingduties and save time on thetransaction at the counter."

For the New Hampshire Fishand Game Department, the newsystem will replace an outdatedmulti-part paper registrationcertificate and allow fasteraccess to registration data. Inturn, the Trails Bureau willreceive their distribution ofmonies faster and help expedite

the funding for grants to snow-mobile and OHRV clubs acrossthe state.

For consumers, the OHRV reg-istration transaction will befaster and easier. In many cases,their information will alreadybe in the system.

"This is an important step for-ward," said Perry. "The newsystem allows Fish and Gameto operate more efficiently andeffectively, using technologythat has been adopted nation-wide with positive results."

Fourteen-month OHRV regis-trations for the 2014-2015 yearare available as of May 1.Regular OHRV and snowmo-bile registrations will be avail-able on or after June 16 for theregistration year that beginsJuly 1.

The N.H. Fish and GameDepartment has been using asimilar automated system forissuing hunting and fishinglicenses since December of2013.
