feature a presentation on
Native American Artifacts
On Wednesday, November
8th at 7:00 PM at the Old
Webster Courthouse (Court
Street behind Plymouth
Town Hall).
Twelve thousand years
ago, the First Americans
arrived at what is now New
Hampshire. Over thousands
of years at seasonal encamp-
ments, cultivated sites, and
hunting and fishing areas,
they left many signature arti-
facts across the
landscape. Four hundred
years ago, European settlers
arrived and immediately
demonstrated considerable
curiosity about their prede-
cessors. Over the centuries,
farmers casually collected
Indian artifacts as they
plowed their fields. The best
of these would be saved for
future generations. Some
rom the Howard would end up in muse-
ums. Many more lie hidden

Bermans Bits
by Dave Berman
Greetings, and thanks for
joining me for another week.
Starting us off are a few
news stories you may have
missed. First, its the thought
that counts Part I. The food
bank in Cardiff, Wales,
tweeted a photo of a dona-
tion: a can of Heinz kidney
soup. Heinz UK quickly
tweeted back: Wow! That
soup was discontinued over
35 years ago. The can of
soup is estimated to be about
50 years old: it bore a price
sticker showing 10d 10
old pennies, a form of coin
discontinued in 1971, and
equivalent to 4p (US 5 cents)
today. It will probably still
be in date, thats the funny
thing, said Cardiff

Heinz agreed, tweeting:
Should be in a museum
rather than a food bank!
[BBC]
Next, its the thought that
counts Part II. Two days
after Hurricane Irma passed
through Jacksonville, Fla., a
police officer was dispatched
to a report of someone load-
ing a streetlight pole onto the
top of their SUV. As he head-
ed to the area, he noticed a
light pole was missing from
a bridge. Then he spotted the
SUV: strapped to the roof
was a light pole that was sig-
nificantly longer than the
SUV. He stopped the men,
who claimed they picked it
up because it was close to
traffic. Victor Walter Apeler,
clers this year alone.

Finally, its the thought
that counts Part III. A
Florida man who decided to
burn some books has been
charged in more ways than
one. He intended to get rid of
clutter and paperbacks at his
Bryceville home, but ended
up igniting a wildfire that
spread across 705 acres. He
was issued an invoice for
$59,403.38, a precise sum

ment involved in controlling
the fire. We have an item-

Plymouth State University Awarded Federal
Grant Continued from page A-3
grant will provide financial support for 29 PSU graduate
students per year. Since most cannot work full-time while
pursuing graduate degrees and serving internships, many of
which are unpaid, students receive a modest stipend.
In addition, the grant provides opportunities for students to
attend regional and national conferences, and to participate
in a three-day school crisis prevention and intervention
training curriculum. PSU also hosts an annual Supervision
Institute where national experts provide training for current
and emerging site-supervisors who supervise PSU student-
interns in the field.
We are very proud of our program, and enormously appre-
ciative of this grant which provides valuable financial sup-
port that allows us to continue to provide well-rounded,
experienced, and dedicated mental health professionals to
New Hampshire communities, said Waltman.

The Adventures
of Tom & Atticus
Two and a half years ago in
this column I detailed our
plans to climb Black Cap
Mountain in North Conway.
The irony is, I never thought
wed have to plan to climb
Black Cap. Sure its over
2,300 feet tall, but the trail is
easy and the roundtrip is
short of three miles with
only five hundred feet of ele-
vation gain. Atticus and I
have used the mountain for
simple walks at the spur of
the moment. It does have a
stunning view and it is con-
sidered one of the bang-for-
your-bucks hikes in the
White Mountains. Little
effort, big reward.
The reason I was making
plans was because we were
welcoming a fifteen year old
rescue into our lives. I knew
he had some physical short-
comings, particularly vision
problems. The old fellow

came to us with the name
William but it was quickly
shortened to William. He
also came to us far worse off
than I was led to believe he
was.
On the day Atticus and I
picked up Will in
Connecticut, from the people
who had pulled him from a
New Jersey kill shelter, I was
sickened by what I saw. Will
was in such bad shape I
couldnt understand how he
was still alive, or who would
keep him alive. It seemed
cruel to me. When I wel-
comed him to our lives he bit
me that first day, puncturing
a tendon in my thumb. As he
dug his teeth into me when
we pulled over along the
Kancamagus Higway on our
way home to Jackson some-
thing strange happened to
me. Here was this almost-
feral, completely broken, and
frightened animal lashing out
at me. Instead of responding
in a similar manner I leaned
down and whispered into his
deaf ears, Im sorry you pressing a deaf ear against tucked in Will every night
have to go through this. I
cant imagine how frightened
you are and how badly
youve been treated. I would
bite too. I dont blame you
one bit.
And so the life of Will in the

Atticus and me commenced.

Cosauke...
Adventures in
Homesteading
The Rocks of Coosauke
Beth Weick
On this particular occasion,
Ryan and I had a complete
two and a half days, at home,
together, with nothing outside
the property impinging on
our whims. It wasnt a week-
end, it wasnt a holiday - just
the pleasure of self-employ-
ment. Being responsible for
setting our own schedules is
both a joy and a challenge:
the former when we sync our
duties and create little
enclaves of home-time when
the 9-5 world is working; the
latter when we accept too
many responsibilities and let
them overtake the life we
actually desire.
Dream Vacation when we
string together multiple
weekdays for home-time and
us-time; Homestead Date is
for stand alone days. The
names connote the giddiness
and youthfulness that fill us
in these instances; the simple
fun we share in being so
proximate to each other; the
enjoyment of hours spent in
both labor and leisure on the
homestead.
We eased ourselves into our
most recent Dream
Vacation with a slow morn-
ing as the patchy frost gradu-
ally melted under the morn-
ings sun. We planted next
seasons garlic, stored this
years cabbage in the root cel-
lar. I weeded, Ryan split
couple meals. We puttered
and planned.
Lunchtime came and we
picnicked to a large granite
boulder on the north side of
our clearing. Ryan had
recently cut much of the slash
and shrubbery in the corner,
rendering that great rock!
accessible. Mica joined us
atop the granite, keeping a
focused eye on our meal
when we paused too long to
soak in the iridescent autumn
color, the view of our little
abode from our personal
Gibraltar, or some sentimen-
tal exchanges.
The afternoon set off with
no expectations and an easy
stroll. By mid-afternoon
wed gravitated to our pre-
ferred tools. Garden fork in
hand, I was kneeling in a par-
ticularly chaotic piece of the
garden. The tangle of clover
and crabgrass that I had
ignored for the past couple
months, daunted by what
seemed an overwhelming
mood of the day. My hands
easily wove through the roots
below the surface and
released their hold with (rela-
tive) ease. I was enjoying
myself; I love this garden,
and more so when Im not
rushed into doing so. Chards
of pottery continued to
emerge as I dug, reminding
me of the history I was join-
ing in working this land. And
the work yielded other arti-
facts: geologic artifacts, of
course. A couple large rocks
were unearthed with the iron
help of a rock bar; others of
smaller sizes met sunlight as I
progressed. I built a whimsi-
cal cairn, and then a sec-
ond. The fairy-gnomish
touch they gave the garden
corner made me smile, some
geologic whimsey to fill the
landscape.
Meanwhile, griphoist in
hand, Ryan set about another
granite project. A few years
ago, digging the cellar hole,
we had moved our largest
griphoist, a rock bar, and me
just barely heaved it out of
the hole. It has sat where we
left it since then, a monolith
waiting to be erected. This
day, though, Ryans vision
was ready to materialize. He
hoisted it inch by inch to the
eastern entry to our clearing,
studying its shape, concoct-
ing a plan, digging a
hole. When the time came, I
took the grunt position of
working the griphoist while
Ryan used his professional
finesse with a rock bar to
turn, spin, and align it just
so. The moment of muscle
and magic occurred, and the
granite giant stood.
Its fine, tapered edge faces
the clearing entry, a blade of
now-ness that spans deep
history and suggests a deep
future. For our time here, at
home, and our time here, in
life, it stands as our Protector
Rock, a guardian of intention
and a granite witness to the
present moment, every

Farm Life
By Karin Matey the
author of My American
Horse Family and
Sebastians Adventures:
Diary of a Champion. For
more information, please
visit her author web site at
www.karinmatey.com.
The first thing I do when I
get to the barn each morn-
ing is to make sure all the
horses and other animals
are well. Once I have done
that, I feed them their grain.
All the animals are often
hungry and cant wait to
have their morning grain.
My day starts very early at
5 a.m. While my horses eat
their grain, I empty the out-
side water buckets and
clean them out with a brush
before filling them with
clean water. Then with my
hayfork I put hay in front of
the over-hang for the horses
to eat before they leave the
barn. Life on the farm
always keeps me very busy,
and its important to get an
early start.
After breakfast I lead every
horse out separately.
Usually the horses are anx-
ious to get out of the barn,
thinking about their green
grass, the exception being
my horse Sebastian.
Sebastian loves to stay in
the barn and eat his hay
from the hay rack in his
stall while he watches me
work. He really enjoys my
company and watches me
do my morning barn chores
while he munches on his
morning hay. He watches
me empty the other horses
water buckets and clean
them thoroughly, ready for
when I fill them up with
fresh water later in the after-
noon. While I bring my
wheelbarrow in and start
mucking or cleaning the
horse stalls, if he gets a
chance, Sebastian will tip
over my wheelbarrow, one
of his favorite tricks. After I
wheel and dump all the
manure out on the manure
pile, I sprinkle fresh saw-
dust in each stall. The saw-
dust keeps the horses dry in
their stalls. I replenish all
hay racks with fresh hay
and finally lead Sebastian
out to join the rest of the
horses. Besides the horses, I
have two geese that stay
around the horses to protect
them from danger. Geese
are good watchdogs and set
up a cackle if anything new
or untoward should happen
around the barn. They are
quite fierce, as well. As I
lead Sebastian out of the
barn, he keeps his eyes open
in case he can tip over my
wheelbarrow at the last
moment.
My barn is a good-size
barn; however, the main
aisle down which every-
body passes is very close to
each horses stall and they
can stick their noses out to
see what is going on. To
prevent the horses from any
mischief such as nipping
each other while being led, I
had to come up with a
sequence in which I would
bring them out of the barn
and one that would work
best for the horses and I.
Somehow this sequence had
to reflect each horses psy-
chology and habits so as to
avoid any fracas caused by
one of them playfully biting
another. The sequence of
horses leaving the barn has
sort of evolved by hit or
miss over the years and is
subject to change anytime
depending on who has
become or is trying to
become the alpha horse.
The first horse I like to lead
out of the barn is Sebastian,
although as I have said
Sebastian may want to
linger over his grain and
stay in his stall to watch me
while I do barn chores. He
has a good view over his
stall door. Sebastian is a tall
horse, 18.2 hands high,
which is quite tall for a
horse. Most horses are in
the range of 14.2-16.2
hands high. Sebastian has a
tendency to eat his grain
fast and choke a bit so usu-
ally I give him a little grain
at a time. He lets me know
when he wants more of his
grain by banging his knee
against the stall door. After
Sebastian finishes his grain
I lead him outside to drink
fresh water and eat hay
unless its a morning when
he wants to linger in his
stall. By that time Keanu
my little Arabian gelding
who takes a while eating is
ready to go out. Keanu
whinnies to let me know
that he wants to go out next.
He loves to stir up trouble
for no reason and he often
stops at Sebastians grain
bowl to help himself to
extra grain, which
Sebastian sometimes leaves
behind. That would be all
right, but Keanu had gained
200 extra pounds over the
last winter and gaining so
much weight is not healthy
for any horse. Keanu lost
the weight by now but I
have to watch him closely
so he will not eat too much
and gain it back again.
Keanu is a horse that never
seems to be in a hurry and is
always very calm.
Sometimes I can see him
smile knowing that he was
able to pause briefly and get
into Sebastians grain bowl.
After Keanu is outside,
Hannover is next out of her
stall. She happily goes out,
but then she waits just out-
side the barn door for an
opportunity to sneak back
in again, which she will
definitely do causing chaos,
if I am not watchful.
Hannover is a Canadian
immigrant, as is Sebastian.
Their father is the famous
stallion Samuel of
Manitoba. Hannover is a
very intelligent horse and
tall like Sebastian. She is as
light as a feather, and as
graceful as a dancer. I think
she basically loves to go in
and out of the barn doors to
see what is going on and if
there is anything extra to eat
or if by chance she is miss-
ing out on anything at all.
Once I get Hannover out of
the barn I have to be sure to
close the door quickly so
she wont sneak back in
while I am leading the other
horses outside. She would
do just that, to create a com-
motion.
Misty is the last horse I lead
out (unless Sebastian has
stayed behind). Misty is
very anxious to go out by
now but would not have
wanted to be first. In her
stall she eats her grain slow-
ly, often stopping to look
around and see what is
going on over her stall door.
Did I mention that Misty is
a very beautiful black

Arabian filly with a distinc-
tive impish expression on
her face? She stands 15.1
hands tall. Misty is a very
loving horse and often just
looks at me admiringly
with her beautiful black
eyes. Mistys nickname is
Black Beauty. Before I lead
her out of her stall, she
likes to lay her head on my
shoulder. This is something
we have done all her life.
Before I can lead Misty
outside, I have to make sure
I line my shoulder up with
hers. That is, you cannot
lead Misty, but you must
accompany her by her side.
People sometimes ask me
what are the most impor-
tant and basic things to
consider if you are contem-
plating having a horse or
horses. Well, a lot of things
rightly come to mind of
course, but now that I have
been spending so many of
my waking hours around
the barn for many years, I
would have to say simply, a
good water and power
source. These are so impor-
tant that at first they may be
overlooked, or taken for
granted. Water is truly
essential to life and elec-
tricity is so very helpful
that in our day and time I
would just about say elec-
tricity is essential too. Try
caring for animals without
these two in the barn and
you will see, especially in
the northern clim how diffi-
cult it can be. Daylight
lessens and it gets darker
early in winter so its
important to have good
lighting in the barn. In the
55 Main Street
old times, the farmers
sons or daughters first
chore after lighting the
stove was to boil water so
as to have a start on break-
ing the surface ice that
formed on the horses
watering trough. Nowadays
if you have electricity, a
heating element in the
trough or even the water
bucket will keep water
from freezing and at a tem-
perature that is good for the
horses to drink no matter
how far below zero it
becomes at night.
One winter day before we
had running water in the
barn, I remember being
behind the house to fill up
water buckets for my hors-
es from a water spout. I had
just started walking toward
the barn carrying a full
water bucket in each of my
hands when accumulated
ice and snow on the metal
roof decided to let go. The
snow and ice had accumu-
lated for months. I was
only a few feet in front of
this avalanche that crashed
to the ground and narrowly
missing me. I jumped and
almost dropped the buck-
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (Page 11)
ets. That was it! I made the
decision at that moment
that it was time to hire a
contractor to bring a water-
line to the barn. I already
knew it would make my
life caring for my horses
much easier, and so it has.
No more traipsing to and
fro with buckets. To this
day, I never go near the
metal roof at the back of
our house in wintertime!

Eye of the Beholder
Diabetes is something that
affects many aging adults.
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (Page 20)
In fact, the American
Diabetes Association esti-
mates that nearly 25% of
Americans over the age of
60 have diabetes with
type 2 being the most com-
mon. If not managed care-
fully, diabetes can con-
tribute to everything from
heart and kidney disease to
nerve damage. What many
may not know, however, is
that the health of the eyes
can also take a significant
hit from diabetes. Diabetic
eye disease, to be specific,
is often cited as the leading
cause of blindness in adults
from the age of 20 to 74.
Rather than being just one
isolated condition, diabetic
eye disease actual repre-
sents an entire group of eye
diseases that can affect
those with diabetes. This
includes diabetic retinopa-
thy, diabetic macular
edema, cataracts, and glau-
coma. Before diving into
each of these, lets explore
the way in which diabetes
affects the eyes.
How Does Diabetes Affect
the Eyes?
When blood sugar, or glu-
cose, levels become too
high, fluid levels in the eye
change and can cause the
lens to swell. For those who
have diabetes and regularly
manage blood sugar levels,
vision can be blurred until
levels are back to normal.
If, however, levels remain
high over time, a variety of
problems can occur usu-
ally involving the blood
vessels in the back of the
eyes which can become
damaged.

The Outside Story _______________________________________
Reflections on Roadkill
Author:
Brett Amy Thelen
Every so often, my friend
David texts me a picture of
roadkill. A fisher trailing a
single strand of blood-red
sinew. A wind-roused pile of
porcupine quills. A bobcat in
graceful, permanent repose.
One year, he built extra time
into his schedule so he could
stop to document every car-
cass on his daily commute
40 critters in all, not includ-
ing salamanders, snakes, and
myriad other wildlife too
small to be seen from a
moving vehicle.
What David knows, and
what I too have come to
appreciate, is that roadkill is
not mere gore. Roadkill is,
in fact, an opportunity, a
chance to look closely at the
bodies of animals who
would otherwise fly, dart, or
scamper away from us.
Its also a growing, and
grave, conservation concern.
By one estimate, nearly a
million vertebrates a day are
killed in vehicle collisions in
the United States. As driv-
ers, we tend to notice one
carcass at a time and only
the big ones that stick
around for a while, like deer
or raccoons but there is
much more to the story than
what we see from behind
our windshields.
If you really want to under- launched statewide roadkill

your car, take a walk down locations and, yes, pictures

Provide Update on
Wild Animal Bites
Continued from page A-7
after being bitten on the fin-
ger by an opossum. The
patient recovered after hos-
pitalization including treat-
ment with intravenous
antibiotics.
Dr. Rao and colleagues per-
formed a research review to
identify studies of rare ani-
mal bites and stings. While
many reports have discussed
treatment of dog, cat, and
snake bites, there has been
no recent, comprehensive
review focusing on the rec-
ommended treatment and
potential adverse effects of
less-common types of ani-
mal bites and injuries.
The review identified 71
articles, including a total of
214 patients, describing less
frequently seen bite and
sting injuries of the upper
limb (hand and arm). Most
of the studies were case
reports and patient series.
Aquatic animals were by far
the most commonly report-
ed type of injury, accounting
for two-thirds of studies.
Stings from jellyfish, lion-
fish and sea anemones, as
well as other venomous
aquatic animals, can not
only cause severe pain and
swelling but may sometimes
lead to severe or even life-
threatening complications.
Ten percent of studies
reported bites by reptiles.
Bites by some of these ani-
mals, such as beaded
lizards, can cause enveno-
mation leading to systemic
shock.
Other reports described seri-
ous complications resulting
from bites caused by small
mammals and rodents such
as ferrets, skunks, and squir-
rels. Other categories,
including just a few cases
each, included serious
injuries caused by large
mammals, scorpions and
centipedes and birds.
The studies suggested that
most infections resulting
from animal bites are
"polymicrobial," caused by
several different bacteria or
other germs. Infections with
multiple, often unfamiliar
microbes have the potential
to cause tissue destruction
and systemic (body-wide)
reactions.
Based on the available evi-
dence, Dr. Rao and col-
leagues outline quick refer-
ence principles for the treat-
ment of wild animal bites
and stings. These include
specific recommendations
for preventive antibiotics,
providing coverage for
unusual bacteria that may be
present in infected wounds.
General treatment approach-
es to wild animal bites
include warm-water soaks
and elevation of the affected
limb. As in their patient with
an opossum bite, the authors
note that severe infections
may result from bite wounds
that seem relatively minor at
first.
Dr. Rao and coauthors note
some important limitations
of the research on wild ani-
mal bites, especially the lack
of studies evaluating diag-
nostic and treatment strate-
gies. They hope the quick
reference guide and other
information presented in
their review will help to
guide treatment of these rel-
atively uncommon but
potentially serious injuries.
