Winter is closing in, and snow-mobile education classes areunderway across the state. Tooperate a snowmobile in NewHampshire, any person age 12or older must have either a validMotor Vehicle Driver's Licenseor have successfully completedan approved Off-HighwayRecreational Vehicle (OHRV)Safety Education class taught

by volunteer instructors trained by the New Hampshire Fish andGame Department.Additionally, all children under the age of 14 must be accompa-nied by a licensed adult whenoperating a snowmobile, unlessthey are on property belongingto their parents, grandparents or

guardians.

Sign up soon if you or someoneyou know needs a class. There isno charge for the classes, whichare usually completed in a sin-gle day. Parents are encouragedto attend along with their chil-dren. For a current class sched-ule, visithttp://www.wildnh.com/OHRV/

schedule.html. New classes areadded as they become available.

"Snowmobiling is a great wayfor families to have fun explor-ing the great outdoors, but ridershave a responsibility to obey therules of the trails, to be courte-ous and -- most of all -- to ridesafely," said Captain JohnWimsatt, who coordinates Fishand Games OHRV EducationProgram.

Many of the trained volunteer instructors teaching the safetyclasses are affiliated with one of the more than 100 snowmobileclubs in New Hampshire.Joining a snowmobile club is agreat way to learn about saferiding, help support locallandowners and help maintaintrails for your own and others'enjoyment, Wimsatt said.

The New HampshireSnowmobile Association(NHSA) and its member clubshave actively promoted safe andresponsible riding since 1969.

NHSA members work withBureau of Trails staff and Fishand Game to manage over 7,000miles of trails in NewHampshire and provide safetyeducation to more than 1,500riders each year. For more infor-mation on how to becomeinvolved with a snowmobileclub, visithttp://www.nhsa.com.

In addition to safety education,this winter Fish and GameConservation Officers will useinnovative enforcement patrolsto detect and apprehendimpaired snowmobile operators,enforce speed limits, deter unlawful off-trail riding anddetect machines with modifiedexhaust. These ongoing initia-tives will help to keep the state'ssnowmobile trails safe for alloutdoor enthusiasts during theupcoming season

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

Greetings, and thanks for join-ing me for another week. First,a Bermans Bits classic : theVermont Fish and WildlifeDepartment reported in 2009 itsfirst documented case of a deer hunters attempting to avoiddetection after shooting an ille-gal doe by gluing antlers ontoits head. Marcel Fournier, 19,used epoxy and lag bolts, said agame warden, but the finished

product looked awkward because of the angle of place-ment and the size mismatch of the antlers. (Fournier was jailedfor 10 days, fined, and had hislicense revoked.) [ Burlington

Free Press ] Play fair, people!

Next, I love happy endings!Three men committed a homeinvasion of a Houston residenceearlier this year and, while twoescaped, one wound up in thehospital and under arrest. Thethree men kicked in a door andshut the resident in an upstairscloset while they ransacked thehome, but they failed to check out the closet first and thus did

not realize that it was the resi-dents handgun-storage closet(oopsies). A few minutes later,the resident emerged, lockedand loaded, and wounded one of the men in the shoulder and leg.[ Houston Chronicle ]

Finally, cue the TwilightZone music.... A Coloradowoman woke up to find amissed call from 1-666-666-6666 and 48 texts from Satan,according to KUSA (another reason not to text). Jenn Vestsaid she was freaked out andis hoping it was a one-time

prank. I thought maybe I wasdreaming at first, and then Istayed up the rest of the night

praying and hoping nothingwould happen. The texts haddifferent phone numbers, andwere all are out of servicewhen called. The number thatappeared with the missed callalso doesnt work. I have towonder if Satan lives in a (getready...) dead zone. Can youhear me now?

I am still casually looking for part-time work. The Wall Street Journal says, The ideal lawschool graduate for employers?

Someone with good socialgraces who can do research.Wait! That describes me...except for the law school part.Theres hope...! I can also write,speak, teach, train, and entertain(sometimes).

At a Costco store, someBibles were recently offered for sale labeled as Fiction on the

price tag, which caused quite astir. The store apologized, andthe distributor is making correc-

tions. Seriously, fiction? Non-fiction? Science fiction?Fantasy? Spiritually?Philosophy? Religion? I guess itdepends on your beliefs.

Bigger, faster, taller.... A 17-story waterslide, The Verrckt,which appropriately enoughmeans insane, is opening nextMay in Kansas City, Kansas.Seventeen stories? Thats a bigNo, thank you! from this guy.[Yahoo ] I always wanted to skydive... until I could. Then theidea didnt seem so great. Justsayin.

Two British teachers have bro-ken the world record for thelongest journey in a tuk-tuk (amotorized rickshaw) after push-ing it the last 43 miles. RichardSears and Nick Gough havetravelled at least 23,300 miles inaid of grassroots education proj-ects in Africa, Asia and SouthAmerica. If they can get their tuk-tuk through northern Chilethey will become the first peo-

ple to have driven a tuk-tuk around the world. They set off from London in 2012 and havecrossed 37 countries. However,the pair hit problems in SouthAmerica and had to use a har-ness to drag the nearly 1,700-

pound vehicle over the recordline. Luckily, after three days,they found a mechanic and arenow pressing on through theAndes. Their vehicle - which

they have named Tommy - has atop speed of only 34mph.[web.orange.co.uk ]So about this young peoples

motto: YOLO (You only liveonce), why, with that definitiondo people risk so much with therealistic possibility of shorten-ing it? I am old because I knowYOLO. So how old am I? Iknow I have said this before, butI am so old I remember when

people dated to find what theydid (or didnt) want in a person,went steady (or got pinned), gotengaged, got married, and had(and raised) a family. (I alsoremember 5c candy bars and25c paperback books. Thats

old.)

Somewhat connected to the lastBit , a Connecticut couplerecently celebrated their 81stwedding anniversary and wasnamed the longest married cou-

ple in the US. I officiated onewedding that didnt even comeclose to lasting a week. Howtimes have changed.

Liquid Stupid Pills! Two sus- pected beer thieves were arrest-ed when they tried to jumpdown the balconies of a 10-storyhotel. One suspect broke his legin several places and had to berescued by firefighters using ahook-and-ladder truck whileamused hotel guests watched.The drama began at around din-nertime when the suspects twicetried to steal beer from a gas sta-tion for a party. After the secondtheft, the gas station clerk sawthe suspects go to the hotel andalerted police. When policearrived, the suspects tried to getaway by scaling the hotel walland jumping from balcony to

balcony, police said. [ LA Times ] Later.

Some traditions should be pro-tected; others should fade asmemories do, and we shouldmake room for new ones thatelevate us. Coming from a bigfamily, its akin to sacrilege tostep away from somethingweve done for decades, but for me there came a time when Iwanted something different. Soover the last severalThanksgivings, Atticus and Ihave not driven to our crowdedfamily gathering, but insteadstayed in the mountains.Weather permitting; we look for an empty trailhead and climb asolitary mountain. This is notdifficult to do since onThanksgiving; the trails are asquiet as a whisper.I dont think theres ever been amountain I did not give thankson. Yet, on Thanksgiving itseems especially so. Perhapsits knowing that while most of the rest of the country is caughtup in where they are expected to

be, Atticus and I are insteadwhere we want to be. While theeastern seaboard is manic withtraffic and plane and train trav-el, we are alone blissfullyalone. There is no football. No

big meal. No family dysfunc-tion to wade through like aminefield while trying to force aHallmark moment out of frac-tured relations. Its just themountain, Atticus, and me.

Its for this reason, the steppingaway from the complicated tothe simple, and the contrast of who I once was to who I amnow, that Thanksgiving has

become my favorite day to hike.Rarely if ever do we ever seeothers out on the trails. Andwhen we return to our humblelittle home after a day of hiking,I feel far more filled with grati-tude than I ever have after a dayof eating a huge meal, sand-wiched between traditionalappetizers, and multiple serv-ings of pie.

In the weeks leading up to the

holiday, friends will often ask what our plans are. When I tellthem we are spendingThanksgiving alone they bristleand express worry about us. Wethen get numerous invitations to

join them. I assure them thatwell be off on our own bychoice and there is no sadnessattached to it; they dont seem to

believe me though. But, after all the football games are over,the turkey carved, the pumpkin

pie eaten, the long drive home,and getting ready for a round of compulsive holiday shopping,they often say to me, I wish Iddone what you and Atticus did.I understand that they dontalways mean climb a mountain.Typically its more about spend-ing a holiday the way theywished they could.

Last Thanksgiving we climbedLittle Haystack, Lincoln,Truman, and Lafayette on acrystal clear Thanksgiving Day.We did see others, but only ahandful of people. On Black Friday, a perfectly coloreddescription of the day, weclimbed South Moat. It was sowarm I wore shorts. How fit-ting it was to stand high upabove the outlet stores of NorthCountry, turn my back to them,and gaze off into thePemigewasset Wildernesswhere nature presides. Through

both hikes, my heart was filledwith things I was grateful for. Itwas a true Thanksgiving.

In past years, weve hiked partsof the Presidential Range;Waumbek; the Carter-MoriahRange; the Kinsmans; and onCrawford, Resolution, andGiant Stairs on the holiday. Ivenever regretted it and at times Ieven think, Where should wego next year? with excitedanticipation.

This Thanksgiving, however, itappears we will be breaking tra-dition again. Not out of choice,

but out of necessity. The cumu-lative effect of the chemothera-

py has been wearing Atticus

down. Its not the occasionalvomit, or the night of chemotremors. Its more like a generalmalaise when it comes to exer-cise. When people see Atticusand I out in the car or at the postoffice or in a store, they canttell anything is wrong. Hegreets them, often gives them asmile, and is happy. However,when it is just him and me, Inotice it. Where we used to gofor three walks a day, now it isoften only a single short one.Our hikes have mostly stopped,although I still drive to a trail-head occasionally, gear up, andset off up the trail. Atticus oftenstops after a half mile or so andlets me know hes had enough.Its not always easy to see himthis way, but Im fortified byhim knowing hes always had achoice, and he seems to get thatI respect his choice to turn back.It makes going throughchemotherapy together easier when he knows what he needsand shows me in his own way.

So tomorrow, when we set outto hike a simple peak, I wont beexpecting much, and we maynot get very far at all. But I will

be grateful knowing there isonly one chemo treatment leftfor him; that he knows he canstop on the trail when he wantsto; that soon enough well bedone and slowly the poison willlessen its grip on him, and well be back to hiking the peaks welove. Ill also be thankful for

the gifts cancer has deliveredinto our lives.

Yes, gifts. Cancer forces you tolook at things differently. You

pay attention to the little victo-ries and to the blessings in life.To us all of this has simplyturned into a different kind of mountain. Its like many of thetougher hikes weve been on inthe past: we set a goal, faceadversity, work through ittogether, and grew closer in theend.

Im thrilled that when cancer came knocking we had ainsightful vet in RachaelKleidon who has allowed us to

take this journey side-by-side,including being together in theoperating room and during thechemo treatments. Im alsothankful we had a choice tochase the bully. We didnt haveto go through the chemo treat-ments. I could have ignored therate at which the cancer wasspreading and just been happythat the amputation appeared to

be successful. But had we nottaken this next step, the sixchemo treatments, I alwayswould have wondered. AsRachael pointed out, its much

better to face the bully (myterm, not hers), than it is to playcatch up.

Im also grateful that other thanlimiting our walks and hikes,cancer hasnt taken much else

from us. Instead, it has given usthe opportunity to further defineourselves by our choices andour attitude. We are still Tomand Atticus, and we are stillclimbing mountains, theyre justa different type of mountain.

And come next Thanksgiving,Atticus and I will be on another quiet peak, our only companythe peak itself and maybe thewind, and when we look off atthe distant peaks surroundingus, Ill also look back on all of this and say, We made ittogether.

So this Thanksgiving, instead of being someplace Id rather not

be to make others happy, I look at it this way, We are rightwhere we are supposed to be.You have no idea how comfort-ing that is.

Hello friends of nature and wel-come to this weeks edition of

Nature Tracks...

DEER HARVEST UP;BEAR SEASON AVERAGE

New Hampshires regular firearms deer hunting is goingwell, as hunters look forward totime afield during theThanksgiving holiday week.Through November 17, 2013,hunters had taken an estimated9,122 deer in New Hampshire.The 2013 statewide totalthrough that date represents a10% increase from the 8,313registered at this point in the2012 season.

"Every county has shown atleast slight increases from 2012,with Cheshire, Coos, andCarroll counties showing thelargest increases," said DanBergeron, Deer Project Leader for Fish and Game. "The nextcouple of weeks, including theThanksgiving holidays, should

provide hunters with excellentopportunity, as the rut shouldremain strong during this peri-od."

The statewide total continues to be the second highest in the pastnine years, according toBergeron. For a comparison of harvest results by county at thissame point in the season inrecent years, visithttp://www.HuntNH.com/Hunting/deer_hunt_take_November.htm.

The regular firearms deer sea-son runs through December 8 inmost of the state, with theexception of WildlifeManagement Unit A in northern

New Hampshire, where it closesDecember 1. Deer huntersshould note WildlifeManagement Unit and season-specific either-sex day regula-tions in the New HampshireHunting Digest, available athttp://www.wildnh.com/pubs/hunting.html or from Fish andGame license agents.

New Hampshires bear huntingseason has ended in most of thestate, with the exception of theWhite Mountains region (UnitsC1, D2, E and F), where it clos-

es November 26. Preliminaryresults show that as of November 4, a total of 524

bears (322 males, 202 females)had been taken in the hunt,according to Fish and Game

bear biologist Andrew Timmins.Through that date, bait huntershad harvested 306 bears, stillhunters/stalkers took 133 bears,and hound hunters registered 85

bears. The current overall har-vest sex ratio is 1.6 males per female. The bear harvest over the next 14 days in the WhiteMountains region (the only areastill open to bear hunting) isexpected to be low.

Hunting licenses can be pur-chased online anytime athttp://www.HuntNH.com, fromlicense agents statewide or atFish and Game headquarters inConcord. The basic N.H. hunt-ing license is $22 for residentsand $103 for nonresidents.Hunters under age 16 do notneed a license, but must beaccompanied by a licensed adultat least 18 years of age.

For more than 16 years, the PineHill Singers have brought out-standing performances to thelocal area. Their concertsinclude a large repertoire fromclassical to jazz, Broadway to

patriotic, and serious to silly.The close knit choral singers

from NH and VT meet weekly,and from this weekly sharing of music, they know the personalhealing as well as the communi-ty outreach in the joy of music.Just after 9/11 the singers beganto insert a quote on all their pro-grams attributed to LeonardBernstein This will be our reply to violence: to make musicmore intensely, more beautiful-ly, more devotedly than ever

before. Thus the Pine HillSingers have established a fundfor future musicians. They will

be selecting their sixth awardrecipient in June 2014.

Always In The Spirit, the PineHill Singers kick off the holi-days with glorious music andgreat cheer.

Create Special Memories with aWhite Mountain NationalForest Christmas Tree

You will need a permit to cutany Christmas tree in the National Forest. These can be purchased for $5 at any of theForest offices.

Need to know about Christmastree permits:

** A permit can be purchasedwith cash or check made out tothe 'US Forest Service'.

** Trees are for personal use bythe purchaser only, not for resale or transfer. Each familymay cut one tree per permit (oneChristmas tree permit per fami-ly).

** Use only hand tools to cutChristmas trees. Chainsaws arenot permitted.

** Make sure you are on National Forest land. Respectthe rights of landowners when

crossing private property.

** Do not cut trees in or near campgrounds, picnic areas,Experimental Forests,Wilderness, active timber sales,or within 100' of a state high-way. Ask if there are any known"off limit" areas.

** Do not cut trees larger than8" in diameter at chest height.Pack down limb piles lowenough so they are within 2' of the ground. Scatter limbs andwood at least 25 feet away fromroads, streams, hiking trails, and

property boundaries.

** Cut your tree so remainingstumps will be less than 10" inheight.

** Tree tags may be used astemporary Recreation Passes.Place the tag prominently on thedashboard while searching for atree. Once the tree is at thevehicle, the tree must be tagged

before transporting.

Caring for your Tree at Home

Once home, youll need to giveyour tree proper care to keep itfresh and attractive and to keepyour home safe throughout theholiday season. Keep the cuttree in a bucket of water in acool, shaded area, which is shel-tered from the wind until youare ready to set it up. Trim aninch or two off the bottom of thetrunk just before putting the treein its stand to allow the tree totake up water once its movedinside. Your tree will be verythirsty, so take care to check thewater level in the stand often - atleast two hours after you set itup and at least once each day.The water level should always

be above the bottom of the treestrunk. Your tree will keep itsneedles longer and be more fireresistant if it is kept watered.Remember to place your tree asfar as possible from a fireplace,radiator, television set or other source of heat or electricity.Avoid decorations that burnreadily such as cotton or paper or wax candles. Check lightsand wiring for worn spots andcracks and take care not to over-load electrical circuits.

After the holidays, think aboutrecycling your tree what abouta potpourri of balsam needles toremind you of the holidaysthroughout the winter? Or setyour tree in a snowbank to cre-ate a playground for the chick-adees and nuthatches in your

backyard.USDA is an equal opportunity

provider and employer.

Hello North Country Folk! I amhopeful that everyone had a

good Thanksgiving with familyand friends.

Of course, we have been watch-ing Christmas commercials for over a month now. They get ear-lier and earlier each and every

year. Its a shame really. Id liketo at least enjoy Halloween and Thanksgiving before I have tolisten to and watch the sameChristmas commercials over and over and over and, well,

you get the picture.

I also say Baa - humbug tothose stores opening up onThanksgiving Day so they can

get the edge on their competi-tion. Leave Thanksgiving aloneand let employees have the darnday off for crying out loud. Just leave the holiday alone - please!

Oh yeah, there are those that say it isnt corporates fault

because people go and shop - I say it is corporates fault because if they didnt open, peo-

ple wouldnt be able to shop. Period.

I respect the many small local businesses who refuse to openon holidays such asThanksgiving. I have nothing but utmost respect for them.

In fact, with gas pumps prettymuch being self service outsidewith credit cards now, peoplewho are travelling can even get

fueled up without having to goin to a store. So why be open?

Now all the do-gooders will come out of the woodwork try-ing to ban Frosty the Snowmanbecause hes smoking a pipe, or change the look of Santa Claus

Dear Citizens of NH, My husband and I own a Sears Hometown Store in Plymouth, NH. Much to my dismay we found out a few weeks ago that Sears mandatory open hours

for Thanksgiving Day would be

7:00pm-12:00am. Last year was an optional decision per store owner. That said,Thanksgiving is one of threeholidays that we believe is to be

spent with family therefore wechoose it not be open. Each

year it seems more and more of our family time is taken away asa result of Sears company poli-cies. Pretty soon, there will beno Thanksgiving holiday. Thislack of focus on family values isdisgraceful and quite franklydishonorable to this countryand the reason its in the poor

state that its in. These are des- perate times we are living and people will either have to work or run out to save money onThanksgiving Day. As aChristian woman, this is against my religious right and what I believe for my family.

From a historical stand point,this country began celebrating Thanksgiving back in 1621 withthe Pilgrims and Indians at

Plymouth Plantation. They cele-brated and gave thanks for threedays. In 1789, GeorgeWashington issued November 26, 1789 a Day of PublicThanksgiving. In 1863,

Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November a national holiday for Thanksgiving and Praise toour beneficent Father whodwells in the Heavens. It isclear Thanksgiving was intend-ed a day of observance with

family.Where in the Declaration of

Independence does it giveCorporations the right to under-mine the values of the citizens of this country? We deserve theright to celebrate as a family the

freedom of America and thank- fulness! As a Christian woman, I value my time with my familyand am thankful to God for all

He has blessed us with.

Again, our store #3673 was not open on Thanksgiving Day. I am more than sure that all theretail corporate heads will becelebrating with a four or fiveday holiday.

I ask you as citizens of NH to stand with me and petition theState House to pass a Blue

Law, stating retailers to beclosed on Thanksgiving Day for 2014! Let your voices be heard.You may sign in person at our

store location or online @https://www.change.org/peti-

tions/nh-state-house-officials-congress-president-obama- pass- int o- law-that-re tai lers-would-be-closed-for-thanksgiv-ing#

With a heart ofTHANKFULNESS,

Holly CassianoSears Hometown Store owner 742 Tenney Mtn. Hwy.

Plymouth, NH 03264603-536-9791

because hes smoking a pipe,has a fur collar, is overweight and flies reindeer, and thosewho want to ban Charlie Brownbecause people bully him. Get over it. Leave Frosty, Santa and Chuck alone. If you want ot do

some good, stay at home and watch, Its A Wonderful Life. Itll do you good!

By the way, I forgot to mentionthat the Northcountry News will not be doing their special Christmas Card section this

season!

We simply felt that with theeconomy the way it still is, small local businesses are being bur-dened enough as it is, without

asking them to do even more.

Many times small local busi-nesses feel it necessary to beincluded in such things and feel

guilty if they are not a part of it.So as our gift to you, theres oneless stress, guilt and payment, you need to worry about this

season. Albeit small, but everybit helps.

This way, if you want to run aChristmas Card ad, you still may do so in the paper, but well leave that up to you.

Inspiring Words for You!

Dear Friends , although the spirit of thanksgiving should be every day of our lives,this is a time of thanksgiving. So let us givethanks to the One that is worthy. Psalm 100 ,Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all yelands. Serve the LORD with gladness: comebefore his presence with singing. Know yethat the LORD he is God: it is he that hathmade us, and not we ourselves; we are hispeople, and the sheep of his pasture. Enterinto his gates with thanksgiving, and into hiscourts with praise: be thankful unto him, andbless his name. For the Lord is good; his

mercy is everlasting; and his truth endurethto all generations. God bless u all.

Tech Tips, Talk & AdviceFor Your Computer

[email protected]

Its the holiday season again andwith the economy weak it ishard to make ends meet. Thereare a few ways you can give agift and not have it cost youallot, lets talk about some of them.

Do you have old family photoscollecting dust in a shoe box,allot of us do. Take those photo-graphs, scan them into your computer and make a photo CDor DVD that can be played on atelevision. You can add specialeffects to the movie to includemusic. Not only are you makinga gift but you are also preserv-ing your photographs in digitalformat so they last for years.There are several programs you

can use to do your project. If you have Vista as your operat-ing system on your computer the Photo Gallery program hasthe ability to create photo CDs.The other programs I recom-mend are free such as Picasayou can get that athttp://picasa.google.com/. Thereis also a version for the Maccomputer. Another program Ilike HP Photo Smart Essentialsand that is athttp://www.hp.com/united-states/consumer/digital_photog-raphy/free/software/index.html.Another project you can do withyour photographs is making acalendar Easy Calendar Maker http://www.easycalendarmak-er.com/download_calendar_software.php is a trial version withlimited options.

Make Christmas Coupons, useyour imagination, and create acoupon for things like a monthof taking out the trash or doingthe dishes. You can also deco-rate the envelope with differentChristmas graphics or if it is for your partner decorate the enve-lope with hearts and such.

Do you have a old computer laying around the house, whynot take that computer and makeit into a media center. InstallLinux a free operating systemon the computer, I recommendUbuntu you can download it athttp://www.ubuntu.com/. Onceinstalled go toh t t p : / / w w w. m y t h t v. o rg / .Download MythTV it is a free

personal video recording pro-gram that will allow both videoand music streaming over ahome network. You can thenconnect you media center to anytelevision or computer in youhome network to watch thevideos or listen to your music.There are extensive instructionson each site that will help you inthis project.

Most people write Christmasletters, why not start something

new such as a Christmas Video.Using a camcorder make ahome movie, edit it with specialeffects using your favorite soft-ware program, you can down-load a full trail version good for 30 days of Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6 athttp://www.ulead.com/dmf/runme.htm. Then burn it in CD or DVD to send to your family andfriends.

These are just a few examples of gift ideas, any questions andcomments please email me at

[email protected] I look for-ward to all your letters and com-ments.

Adventuresin Homesteading

by ethWeick

Costs of WarThis column is written inresponse to a readers questionof my assertion that we train

our service men and women tokill innocent children and oth-ers, to destroy their homes, their communities, their water sup-

plies, the simplest rudiments of living, in my recent PTSD col-umn.

It is a known effect of war thatmany civilians, including chil-dren, will be killed as a result of training in how to kill whatever is perceived as the enemy. Itis my opinion that weve got tostop glossing over the question-able reasons for war and facethe fact that many civilians,including children, now live infear of US attacks, whatever reasons service people are givenfor their orders.

I recognize that we may not allcome to agreement on issuesfacing us today. My hope is thatwe will each inform ourselves tothe best of our ability and sharewhat we learn. In my column, Iinclude references andresources for topics covered thatI hope will stimulate responsi-

ble thought. I appreciate reader feedback that keeps me on track as well.

Cost of Wars is a study put out

by the Watson Institute of International Studies at BrownUniversity. Codirectors of thestudy were Catherine Lutz,Professor of Anthropology andInternational Studies at BrownUniversity and Neta Crawford,Political Science professor atBoston University. Here arethree sources that report thefindings of the study:h t t p : / / c o s t s o f w a r . o r g ;http:/news.brown.edu/pressre-leases/2013/03/warcosts;and http://truth-out.org/news/item/8238-the-real-costs-of-war.

The Cost of Wars study foundthat of the 224,475 total liveslost in the Iraq and Afghanistanwars, 136, 700 were Iraq andAfghanistan civilians. Sixty per-cent of the lives lost were civil-ians. Also cited were war related

pollution that has affectedIraqis health with increasedrates of cancer and infant mor-tality, and the toxic dust in mili-tary bases which contributes toincreased rates of neurologicaldisorders, respiratory problemsand cardiovascular disease inmilitary service members since2001.

The team of researchers for Costs of War included AndrewBacevich, Military historian,US Army Colonel 1969-1992,(Ret.), currently, Professor of International Relations at

Boston University. His latest book is, Breach of Trust: HowAmericans failed their soldiersand their country. He writes,now that the war in Iraq hasended, Americans might ponder the question of what the loss of several thousand soldiers theresignifies. His son Andrew diedin the Iraq War. Bacevich notesthat his skepticism precedes hissons death.

It is also a known effect of war that there is destruction of infra-structure, public as well as pri-vate buildings and homes,schools, water systems, and the

basic necessities that we maytake for granted here in NewEngland. 146,000 civilians werewounded as a result of the wars,40 percent of the total.7,815,000 civilians becamerefugees and internally dis-

placed people.

The reason many of our European ancestors came to theUS was to avoid conscription.

Theyd had enough war. If wecan recognize that the costs of war, (to the extent that we assertthat while war may be an innate

response to disagreements, war is not the best way to resolveour differences), then peoplewill not hav
