Franklin Police are looking for a man suspected of impersonating a police officer. A woman was pulled over on New Hampton Road Friday by a man wearing a dark uniform and with blue lights on his truck. He asked for her license and registration.

“She provided those documents at which time he asked for her age. Then he stated that she was OK and all set to leave for the eve-ning,” said Sgt. Joseph Guerriero. Officers in-creased patrols in the area and stayed with the victim at her home. No badge or firearm was

displayed during the incident, but she definite-ly felt uncomfortable and felt something was wrong with that situation. The impersonator is described as a white man who is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds.

If faced with a similar situation, police recommend driving to a well-lit area and call-ing 911.“If you do feel that there's any suspi-cion upon being pulled over, we recommend that you call 911 immediately. If you don't feel comfortable stopping, that's totally acceptable also,” Guerriero said.

Warner reading winnerThe Boston Bruins joined with NH libraries offering incentive prizes for readers. Ap-proximately 27 children were chosen throughout the state for various prizes. Danica Janssen won a signed hockey puck by #33 Zdeno Chara, the captain of the Boston Bruins. Danica is a member of Pillsbury Free Library in Warner, NH.

Selectmen begin search for new Bow Police Chief The Bow Board of Selectmen met

briefly on Thursday, September 15th and immediately went into a Non-Public Session. Upon returning to open ses-sion, it was announced that the Town of Bow has engaged the services of Primex for recruitment and selection support for the hiring of a new Police Chief.

Carl Weber from Primex met with

the Board and Town Manager to review the roles of the Board and Town Man-ager in the hiring process. Mr. Weber conducted an exercise to develop a candidate profile.

He will provide a summary of the items that were generated and work with the Town Manager to finalize the process timeline.

Bow's Merrimack Station sold by MarchEversource power plants could be sold off as early as March of next

year, according to a report prepared for the Public Utilities Commis-sioner by J.P. Morgan, the firm hired by the state to advise regulators on the auction. Eversource agreed to divest its power plants, including the Merrimack Station coal-fired plant in Bow, as part of a wide rang-ing settlement with the state agreed to last year.

New Boston will place Granite BoundsJay Marden met with the New Boston Selectmen to discuss place-

ment of 2 granite bounds that were donated to the Community Church. Surveyor Bob Todd reviewed the boundary and proposed placement of the bounds at no charge. Bob wrote to the Fire Wards who forwarded the letter to the Fire Chief, who forwarded it to the Selectmen. These would be permanent official bounds. A sketch of bound placement and photos of the bounds were reviewed. One bound would be at the cor-ner of church land and land owned by the Parkers and they approved placing it with half on their land. The church governing body has not voted on placement pending the Selectmen’s decision. An alternative is to put the bound entirely on church land with a side touching town land. The Selectmen will table this until the church decision.

Hancock police computers to be repairedHancock Police Chief Andrew Wood reported on the grant applica-

tion progress. Grants will provide matching financial support of traffic enforcement and information systems improvement. The Select board will review grant agreements. The Police Department will receive insurance reimbursement for damage to department computers from a computer virus. The board authorized an expenditure of $2,328.93 for the purpose of repair and replacement of computer equipment.

Captain Sedor will tell us about Durham, NH Medal of Honor recipient Richard, “Dick” O’Kane who attended the University of New Hampshire and later graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He was considered the most successful submarine commanding offi cer in World War II. After tours on USS Argonaut and USS Wahoo, (which was subsequently lost with all hands) O’Kane became commanding offi cer of USS Tang. He once told a reporter “It’s a big ocean. You don’t have to fi nd the enemy if you don’t want to.” He did and retired as a Captain in 1957. He was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Harry S. Truman after his fi fth war patrol on Tang. His is a war story that, thanks to Captain Sedor, will be told. It will be set in the context of the submarine force performance in the Pacifi c during WWII.

As requested, Highway Superintendent Tom Weston attended Tuesday's Hen-niker Selectmen's meeting to comment on reports that 8 of the 9 culverts his crew re-placed on Quaker Street and Dudley Pond Road were defective and should be ripped out and reinstalled. Weston responded that all 9 were improperly installed and are in the process of being replaced. He said the installations occurred while he was on vacation and after returning he had not inspected the project because it was not complete. When asked by Select-woman and Road Management Committee member Tia Hooper, why a 12" culvert was installed instead of the 18" one called for in the Hazardous Mitigation Plan, Weston had no response. Jennifer McCourt com-mented that that was a violation of NH law.

Resident John Kjellman offered that this incident reflected a lack of supervision on Weston's part. When former selectman Leo Aucoin tried to follow up, saying that only 4 of the 9 culverts were installed dur-ing Weston's vacation, he was immediately

A combination of healthcare savings and federal reimbursements, allows the ConVal Regional School District to use a $1 million budget surplus to lower the amount to be raised by property taxes this fall. Healthcare costs for employees were expected to rise 6 percent from the previous year; instead they were $600,000 lower. Saunders said the district is chang-

ing health carriers in the next school year, with the hope of continuing to save money on health care costs.

Additionally, a delayed reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency for snow removal in 2014 and Medicaid reimbursements from 2015 added $400,000 in unanticipated rev-enue, the news release said.

Goffstown Police said a man exposed himself to students riding on a bus on Monday afternoon. Police said a man was following a school bus full of visiting high school students headed for an athletic event at Goffstown High School. Police said the students' quick thinking helped them crack the case. After realizing what was happen-ing, the students pulled out their cellphones and were able to record video of the car and the driver. No arrests have been made in this case, but Goffstown Police said they expect to bring charges in the coming days.

The Messenger has been provided with documentation which show that both

Weston and Town Administrator Christine Trovato were aware of the improper instal-lation as of July 11, 2016. That informa-tion was contained in a grievance filed by former highway employee Dale Havunen, who was then fired on July 20th.

Driving 133 mph & weaving in WarnerOn September 20th, the New Hampshire State Police arrested Al-

rick S. Barnett, 35, of Manchester on Interstate 89 in Warner for Reck-less Driving. Barnett’s vehicle, a 2007 BMW 550i Sedan, was initially observed to be weaving in and out of traffic while traveling northbound by Trooper Janell Smith, who was on patrol for the morning commute. Trooper Smith measured Barnett’s vehicle on radar to be traveling at a speed of 133 miles per hour in the posted 65 zone.

Bennington to start planning for 175thNext summer, Bennington's annual Rubarb Festival may also cel-

ebrate the town's 175th birthday. The idea was suggested by Recreation Director Bethany Craig at Wednesday's Select Board meeting. The board also met with Fire Chief Mike Roina, who is trying to set up a revolving fund as a way of charging people serviced by an EMT detail. He assured Town Administrator Dee French that he had enough staff to send to events and still has enough to service the town. The board approved looking into how to start a revolving account.

Woman crashes, assaults Dunbarton copLaura Fortin, a homeless woman from Concord, was arrested after

driving drunk, crashing and attacking a Dunbarton police officer. Po-lice say she ran over a mailbox on Twist Hill Road before crashing into a driveway on Montalona Road. Officers said Fortin was intoxicated when they responded, and lunged at an arresting officer, throwing her shoulder into his chest. She was taken into custody and charged with driving while intoxicated, conduct after an accident and simple assault, among other charges. Fortin had already been out on bail after an August arrest for the alleged possession of prescription pills.

The Bank hosted a logo reveal party with employees, board members and corporators on September 12 where everyone got a preview of the new logo website and marketing materials.

New London Planning Board creates two new subcommitteesThe Planning Board has established

two subcommittees to work on potential zoning amendments; a Sign Subcommit-tee and an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) subcommittee. The Sign Subcommittee is considering amendments to address the U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding the need for content neutral regulations and to make the sign regulations simpler.

The ADU Subcommittee is considering amendments to address the New Hamp-shire law which will go into effect on June 1, 2017. Under the new law, an “accessory dwelling unit” is defined as a residential living unit that is within or attached to a single-family dwelling, and that provides independent living facilities for one or more persons, including provisions for sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel of land as the principal dwelling unit it accompanies.

The new ADU law requires municipali-ties to allow internal or attached accessory dwelling units in all zoning districts where single-family dwellings are permitted. It establishes in state law that an internal or

accused of setting brush fires that burned more than 200 acres in town in April, plans to plead guilty to arson as part of a plea agree-ment. Plante faces four felony counts of arson and three felony counts of reckless conduct for allegedly setting fires on at least two different properties in Stoddard and damaging additional property. If a judge approves the deal, five of those seven charges will be dropped, leaving him to plead guilty to two counts of arson for which Plante would spend between 2½ and seven years in state prison.

Windham ~ Warner~ Tilton

In a large-scale analysis of pain-relief medication for osteoarthritis, researchers found that paracetamol (ac-etaminophen, or Tylenol) does not meet the minimum standard of clinical effectiveness in reducing pain or improving physical function in patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis. Although paracetamol was slightly better than placebo, researchers conclude that, taken on its own, paracetamol has no role in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis, irrespective of dose. The

study, published recently in The Lancet, is the largest analysis of random-ized trials of medical pain relief for osteoarthritis to date, and finds that diclofenac (Common brands: Voltaren, Zipsor, Pennsaid) 150mg/day, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is the most effective short-term pain relief. However, the authors caution against long-term use of NSAIDs because of known side effects. Worldwide, 9.6% of men and 18% of women over the age of 60 have osteoarthritis. Estimates suggest that 26.9 million adults in the USA have the disease, and 8.75 million in the UK. Osteoar-thritis is the leading cause of pain in elderly people. It can impair physical activity, which increases patients’ risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and general ill-health. Paracetamol and NSAIDs are usually the first line treatment for mild to moderate pain management in osteoarthritis, but paracetamol is used more frequently in the long-term because of the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal side effects associated with long-term NSAID use.

H-D School Board again postpones vote on Alternative SchoolThe Hillsboro-Deering School Board

covered a variety of topics Monday evening.HDHS Principal Jim O'Rourke briefed members on the results of the PSAT's taken in the fall of 2015 and the SAT's taken in the spring of 2016. He reported modest im-provements over prior tests with the district still slightly trailing state averages.

Approved were DECA trips to the NH Conference in Manchester from February 8-10, 2017 and to the International Confer-ence in Anaheim from April 25-30, 2017.

The topic of bringing the Alternative High school on campus was again discussed, without resolution as members again delayed a vote on the funding mechanism. Three options remain on the table:

1. A traditional bond, requiring a 2/3 vote.2. A lease/purchase warrant article

requiring a majority vote, or3. Lease payments inserted into the op-

erating budget, requiring no taxpayer vote.Deering residents Ed Naile relayed his

conversations with the NH Department of Revenue Administration indicating a lease purchase of the building would not pass

muster. Jim Fidolfi stressed that bypassing voter approval would be unethical. John Seedy again urged the board to incorporate the current modulars into the plan.

Despite the protests, superintendent Robert Hassett repeated that he and Chair Rich Pelletier has been assured by legal

council that the board could proceed with any of the options.

Pellitier urged his collegues to be cau-tious as the teachers contract ratified last year's calls for $220,000 to $230,000 in raises next year plus a 2% increase in pen-sion costs.

Deering author makes New York Times Best Sellers ListPeregrine Spring started life as a narra-

tive about a very busy spring spent by Nancy and Jim Cowan of Deering as Nancy raised a young peregrine from a captive breed-ing program at the same time the couple took on the rehabilitation and training of an adult wild peregrine. The period was so busy with training birds, necessary with the wild falcon so he could be conditioned and evaluated for release, Nancy said she would always remember it as the "peregrine spring." Later she wrote out the story of all she had learned from both falcons and what had happened and sent it off to her mother. Mom sent it right back with the comment, "Get this published!" This began the process of making a real book, adding a first part to tell readers how the Cowans happened to be chosen to work with the wild falcon, and a last part telling of the life of a pair of falconers who ended up running a falconry school that attracts students from across the nation and abroad, along the way having lots more experiences with both hawks and falcons.

Nancy found an agent to represent Pere-grine Spring in the world of publishing. The

book was purchased by Lyons/Rowman publishers who brought it out in March of this year. While authors are not able to as-certain how well their books are doing until informed at year's end by the publisher, last week Nancy received word from her editor at Lyons that Peregrine Spring had made it onto the NY Times Best Selller for ebooks for the 9/25/16 listing. Furthermore, Lyons has decided to print more of the hardcover copies and will release a softcover edition in the Fall of 2017. All this is exciting and

unexpected good news about a story that played out much of its action on the over-look field off of Route 149 in Deering.

Several weeks ago, Nancy Cowan brought Banshee, her school's peregrine, to the Fuller Public Library in Hillsboro to give a talk about the book and to sign copies sold by the library. On October 20, at 5:30 PM, she will appear at Gibson's Bookstore in Concord, again with a raptor along to help tell the story of a time she remembers as a "Peregrine Spring."

Colin Kapernick's protest of kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem appears to be spreading. When I see such protests, I am both offended and proud. Offended at the disrespect shown to those who worked tirelessly for two centuries to build our democracy and those who fought and died to preserve and defend it. Proud, because each protest is in itself a celebra-tion of American freedom. The tragedy is that those protesters don't realize that those same acts in many other countries would cost them their lives.

In a broader sense, our Black country-men need to realize that they have been sold out by a new generation of Black lead-ers and the Democrat Party. Martin Luther King's dream was not about government handouts and a generation on welfare. His dream was for equal opportunity for all, for the chance to learn and grow and share in the America Dream of providing a better life for our children.

Al Sharpton and today's Democrats ask only that you hate whitie, fear the police and vote Democrat, promising more food stamps, and unending welfare benefits while relegating our Black city

neighbors to drug infested housing, crime filled streets, poor schools and little hope for a better life. When Republicans offer a way out through school vouchers, Demo-crats and their allies in the teacher's union go on the attack.

Somehow, in the last 50 to 60 years, being a Republican has been equated with being a racist. Nothing is further from the truth. It was Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, who freed the slaves. It was Dwight David Eisenhower, a Republican, who integrated Little Rock, and, it was a Republican Congress that passed the Civil Rights Act of 1965 and the Voting Rights Act of 1966. The United States has now had a Black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a Black National Security Advisor, a Black Secretary of State, a Black Attorney General, several Black Congressmen and Senators, Black Supreme Court Justices and a Black President.

As the poet Robert Frost observed, we have "miles to go before we sleep," but can't we at least acknowledge the progress we have made in this continuing experi-ment in individual liberty and personal responsibility we call America?

Breaching the political color barrier

Publisher's Perspective by Leigh Bosse

letters to the EditorTo The Editor:

Deering residents you may want to start reading the minutes of the Board of Selectman.

Wonder why your taxes have gone up? Our Police Department and other Town Employees just received another raise under this administration. Start reading the minutes and your blood pressure will certainly go up. Here are the minutes from June 15, 2016. After Board members reviewed employee performance reviews, Mr. Gill (who is running for State Representative to help increase taxes for the entire State), made the motion to approve merit increases for employees in the follow amounts: Police Chief James Pushee - $71,0367.63 a 2.5% increase

Stephen Bell - Patrolman Hourly

$22.87 a 5% increase, Travis Bennett – Patrolmen Hourly $17.26 1.5% increase, Thomas Cavanaugh – Patrolman $23.33 a 3% increase (Tom’s should have been higher) Nick Hodgen – Patrolman $20.81 3% increase, Chris Parsons - Patrolman $20.15 Hourly 3% increase, Ethan Valliancourt – Patrolman Hourly $22.65 a 3% increase. Is anyone else wondering why we have a Chief and 6 Patrolman working for a Town of 1,900 people? At least 4 are part-time.

Carrie Goodwin Admin Asst. – Hourly $22.60 a 13% increase and Ann Mooney Assessing Clerk $17.28 a 6% in-crease. We have people in our Town un-able to pay their taxes and are in danger of loosing their homes, has the BOS even considered that, as they dole out raises to all employees? Where is this money

Eletters to the Editor continuedcoming from? Certainly not from busi-nesses in town as all but one have left? It's time for the taxpayers to speak up, the problem is that the only way they can express their displeasure is at a Town Meeting that is stacked against them. Wait there is one other way, RUN for office and live up to your word that you will cut taxes and listen to the residents. It seems that when it is time to run for office we have heard candidates say that but have they lived up to their words?

Minutes from July 20, The BOS opened a Bid from Window Master, Score Construction and Stephen Decatur to replace Windows and Doors in the Town Hall, the Bids are as follows:

Window Master $76,380Score Construction $21,475Stephen Decatur $30,060 Stephen Brooks addressed the Board

relative to the on-going recruitment pro-cess being conducted by MRI for the po-sition of part-time fire chief. Mr. Brooks was unhappy with the process and de-manded to know what other criteria than what MRI provided in the recruitment notice the Board had established for the position. Mr. Belouin replied that there wasn’t any and explained that the Board had hired MRI (this is the same group that we paid $20,000 to tell us what we already knew, we needed to repair and update our fire stations) to conduct the recruitment and if Mr. Brooks was unhappy he was free to take up his issue with MRI. Wow, the Board doesn’t have the courage to make their own decisions for the Town of Deering? Sorry but you are accountable for Town Decisions not Consultants they simply suggest, it is your decision. We vote you in to repre-sent us and do your due diligence for the Town.

It should also be noted that the Selectmen seem to think that they are not accountable for decisions made by consultants that they hire to do THEIR JOB! They won’t even listen to the Chairs of their departments: at one time each department head would attend our meetings on a monthly basis and report how their departments were doing. No longer, the BOS has them report to our

Town Administrator and he reports to the Board. One more step closer to not having any input into our Town Govern-ment. What exactly are our Selectmen doing? Building community is nice, Town Movies, a Barbeque and other “feel good” things but how about making the tough decisions? Not so much! Do your job!

JP Marzullo, Former Selectman Deering

**************************************Dear Editor:

The fountain at the center of Butler Park was beautifully restored a few years ago and, for a time, when it was working it gave a restful, cooling sound. The park fairly burbled with children laughing and splashing their hands in it. It was pretty and fun!

After all the blood sweat and tears (and, yes, expense) of getting it installed, I don't believe an occasional abuse is sufficient justification to deny ourselves its charms on a warm, summer evening. If turning it on and off is a concern, why not just leave it on or install an auto-mated timer to guarantee its regular operation? Maybe a few coins tossed in would spur people to contribute to a maintenance fund? Or, if not coins in the fountain, how about a coin-operated timer or an attractive lock box to collect donations toward its operation?

I think it would be nice for visitors and residents alike to see and hear the fountain again and hope the downtown beautification committee will put it at the top of the must-do list.

Well, well, well, it’s a droughtDrought – Now here is a word we don’t

often hear in New England, but it is here and all of us need to consider it and how we can improve our situation during these dry times. The most vulnerable to the current drought are folks who live in the country, or do not have public water supplies to rely on; though the public water supplies are rapidly reaching dangerously low levels as well. How do you know if you have a well and not public water? One way is to consider, do you get a water bill from your municipality of a private water department periodically. If you don’t then you have a private well sys-tem. Most often wells are installed for each household, but shared wells can be found around too.

The two most common wells are dug or shallow wells, and artesian wells. Dug wells are not as common as artesian anymore, but you will often find them with older homes. These wells are typically 20 to 35 feet deep and because of the “shallowness” of the well, they are usually the first to be affected by droughts.

Artesian wells or deep wells can be as deep as it takes to find a good pocket of wa-ter, they range from 100 feet to hundreds of feet deep. These are more resistant to short term water shortages, but in the end a long term drought has the potential to effect any type of well. That is where we are now in parts of New Hampshire. Unlike municipal water supplies which usually have a large water reserve such as Lake Massabesic in Manchester, our residential wells have a limited water reserve. It is held in the shal-low well as a pool of water or in an artesian well, in the casing (the pipe that goes down into the ground), and this again can be a small amount of water. As the water tables drop, so does the well’s reserve. Meaning the use of water must be spread out over time rather than multiple uses at the same time such as taking a shower, running the washer, and dishwasher all simultaneously,

or taking multiple showers back to back for those with larger households.

CHOICES to be MADE - So what can we do as residents? Impose our own water use restrictions. Home owners should consider the major impact to their daily lives when a well goes dry. That is certainly a good motivation for making the tough choices on what and how we should be using our wells for these days. Every time a person turns on the water they should consider is this worth running out of water? Watering the lawns, washing cars, running half loads of dishes or clothes can be examples of bad choices. Spread out the use of water over time, maybe run the dishwasher at night, or move some of the daily showers to every other day (Europeans don’t understand why Ameri-cans shower every day), or have some peo-ple take showers at night and some in the morning. Shut off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving. I am sure there are many great ideas people can come up with, please send them into the paper and we can share them with the other readers.

Be proactive, better to avoid finding out just how good your well is during a drought.

What are signs you may be headed for trouble, I am not claiming to be a water expert, but some typical telltale signs you may be low on water are:

1. Reduced water flow2. Air bursts in the water stream3. Discolored water4. And of course no water. When any of these conditions occur you

should stop the use of water, and allow the well to replenish its reserve. If you actually run out of water you should shut off the well pump at the electrical breaker box to pre-vent damage to your water pump and again allow the reserve to replenish if it can. Call a plumber if in doubt.

In the past couple of months, burglars have struck in towns all around Deering. Dur-ing the first day or two of September we had a complaint of a suspicious person sitting beside the road, but he had disappeared by the time Chief Pushee and Officer Bell got to the area to check. Then, on the morning of September 5th, we were called to investigate a burglary in town, where someone forced entry and stole an antique Chinese Silver Tea Set, and a set of Antique Silver Serving utensils.

On September 21st we received another burglary report, where a quantity of heirloom jewelry and antique/ collectible European coinage were stolen. In both cases the hom-eowners were away. In the first burglary, the house alarm failed. In the second, a neighbor noticed something suspicious several days ago

and notified the owner, but no one called the PD until the owner returned home yesterday. In both cases, we believe that the "commmu-nity watch," though not an official organiza-tion in Deering but rather wary residents and neighbors, may have possibly seem something that seemed suspicious I'm sure many of you have seen the PSAs urging you, "If you SEE IT / SAY IT!!" Many of you who love winter sports also know the slogan, "If you LOVE IT / LOCK IT!!" While nothing is absolute, these "isms" are the key to helping protect your personal property, and in helping protect your neighbor's property. We at the Deering Police are asking you again, as we have many times before, to take a proactive effort personally, to make a simple phone call WHEN you see something that you think appears "off" in your

neighborhood. Deering Residents should call our dispatch center (464-3600) as soon as you can, so we can get an officer enroute to check it out. We would MUCH rather find out and report back to you that it was a false alarm, than receive the call a day or a week later and have to pull out the cameras, the fingerprint lift kits, and the rubber gloves to process a crime scene. IF YOU SEE IT - SAY IT!!!

And, though a determined thief can usu-ally find a way to break in, why make it easy? IF YOU LOVE IT - LOCK IT. That means your house, your sheds, your cars, etc. Maybe even consider getting at least one of those wi-fi surveillance cameras......they're pretty inexpensive these days, and will send video direct to your smart phone when the motion sensors are tripped.

1. To get a new perspectiveThere’s nothing like travel to help you see that what you think is “the way people do things” is really just the way YOU do things. From our families to our work to our food to our homes, humankind is alive with diff erences you cannot imagine—until you see them for yourself.2. To see the world through new eyes“We need sometimes to escape into open solitudes, into aimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard, in order to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to be compelled to work desperately for a moment at no matter what,” wrote philosopher George Santayana in “The Philosophy of Travel.”3. To gain appreciation for what you haveThere’s no place like home—but that’s so easy to forget. Leaving the comforts behind gives you a renewed appreciation for them when you return.4. To get some distance from workAmericans have a reputation the world over have for being unable to leave their jobs behind. But taking a step away from the job is good for your physical and mental health. It’s good for your work, too— it gives you the space to see the big picture in a new way, and builds a stronger team by forcing you to delegate and let someone else have your back.5. To settle grievances through shared experiencesThere’s nothing like a glass of wine by the cruise-ship pool to open a discussion that helps you see another person’s side of things. Family grudges and hurt feelings that rumble beneath the surface of the annual Thanksgiving dinner look diff erent

when you’re making memories and shar-ing pleasurable experiences—and seeing each other, literally, in a new light.6. To get you out of your comfort zone Whether you’re stuck in a rut or looking to gain a little independence, traveling can teach you things you never knew about yourself. Discover your resourcefulness while mingling with the locals. Realize your capabilities while navigating your way through a foreign city. You’ll never learn more about yourself than when you travel.7. To admire Mother NatureTravel gives us the gift of seeing how small we really are in comparison to the beauty of Mother Nature. From crystal blue waters to pink sands to lush greenery, the real world is full of colors and sounds, sights and sites, that no computer screen can duplicate.8. To learn about other culturesEvery destination has its own unique history and style. A passionate local tour guide will immerse you in a world that’s completely diff erent from the one in which you live.9. To strengthen relationshipsThere’s something about the shared experience of travel that can bring people together. Family vacations, a trip with a signifi cant other, or a girls’ weekend will build a lifelong bond.10. To unplugWe’re constantly checking in on our phones, living life through other’s status updates or posts. Traveling allows you to disconnect from emails and social media. Sit back, relax, and take in the moment without the screen of your phone blocking the view.
