Grapenut The Common Loon
The Story Of Grapenut’s Adventures

 

Common Loons have a very distinct and haunting call often heard eerily echoing across New Hampshire’s lakes in the summertime. Loons communicate with each other using four main calls known as the tremolo, wail, yodel, and hoot. The most common calls are a wailing laugh and a mournful yodel. Listening to the sounds, observers can often distinguish calls made by specific loons from others in the area.

 

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers an opportunity for visitors to hear loon calls without venturing to the lake, through the recordings of a loon in a book called Adventures with Grapenut. New Hampshire is home to many loons including the lone chick that goes by the name of Grapenut. He was first discovered at four days old by John Rockwood as he was out in his kayak. John Rockwood, also referred to as the Loon Man NH, is a naturalist, author, professional nature photographer, and Common Loon educator. (http://www.theloonmannh.net/).

 

While kayaking on Lake Massabesic, John noticed the chick in the distance away from its family and decided to keep a close eye on him, not realizing at the time the many adventures that would ensue. In the following two seasons, John chronicled the stages of development and fun he had with the loon, including a game of hide and seek in a book called Adventures with Grapenut.

 

Visitors can flip page to page, listen to the loon, determine the meaning of each call, and learn all about the adventures of one young loon in particular, Grapenut. There are also fun facts tied into this fascinating story about loons. The story brings up banding and behavior, alongside this telling tale of a lost loon finding his home.

 

The book is available for purchase in the Howling Coyote Gift Shop at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. A portion of the proceeds go to the Loon Preservation Committee and the New Hampshire Audubon Society. For more information about Grapenut, visit http://theloonmannh.net/.

 

A new display in the Songbird Exhibit at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center features a video adaptation of the book with photos of Grapenut’s adventures and narrated by Tom Klein. The video and book feature stunning photographs that John took of Grapenut and his loon parents right from his kayak.

 

The Songbird Exhibit is on the main live animal exhibit trail and is included in regular trail admission. The Science Center is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with last trail admission at 3:30 p.m.

 

The Howling Coyote Gift Shop is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition to Adventures with Grapenut, the gift shop features gifts, books, toys, and a variety of nature-related items.

New VA Law Dramatically Speeds Up Hiring Of Medical Center And Network Director Positions
Submitted Via Merrill Vaughan

 

On June 23, President Donald J. Trump signed into law S. 1094, the “Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017,” which makes a number of changes to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) authorities related to personnel, accountability and whistleblower protections.

 

While the accountability and whistleblower-protection provisions outlined in the bill are generally well known, the law also provides VA with direct-hiring authority to fill medical center director and network director positions.

 

Thanks to the new law, VA now has the flexibility to hire qualified health-care executives expeditiously to lead its key health-care organizations without going through a previously cumbersome and time-consuming hiring process.

 

“Being able quickly to hire skilled executives to lead our medical centers and networks is a powerful tool to ensuring the best possible leadership being put in place,” said VA Secretary Dr. David J. Shulkin. “Leaders establish the vision for our thousands of employees who are doing their best to serve our nation’s Veterans. They also ensure accountability for those employees who do not deliver the care our Veterans deserve.”

 

VA encourages qualified candidates for medical center or network director positions to apply immediately by contacting the VHA Virtual Recruitment Center at 844-456-5208 or by visiting the VA Careers page at https://www.vacareers.va.gov/ and submitting a résumé for consideration.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Dear SVS Editor:
I am a disabled resident of Pittsfield who has been utilizing the Pittsfield Food Pantry since 2015. I just came back from the new location. This was my third visit there.

 

In May and the beginning of June the church doors were open to allow access via the ramp. Today, the church doors were locked and I had to try to navigate the dangerous stairway with a cane to get inside.

 

These stairs are steel stairs that are steep, and because they are grated, it is extremely dangerous for anyone who walks with a cane, or has difficulty walking at all. Many seniors and disabled people rely on the food pantry, but when it’s not handicapped accessible it’s too dangerous for us to utilize it.

 

When the planning was being made for this new location, why didn’t anyone take this issue into consideration? When I asked the lady inside why the doors by the ramp were locked, she said that no one from the church was being sent to help them.

 

I’m sorry, but that is not a valid excuse to not have ramp access to the food pantry for the disabled who go there. If the Pittsfield Food Pantry has to rely on someone from Grace Capital Church to be there in order to have the doors open by the ramp, then the Town needs to work something out with them.

 

I’m not an attorney, but this problem with the new food pantry location not being readily accessible for people with disabilities may actually be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Local Author Publishes First Novel, Holyrage Chronicles Vivication

 

The heavy footsteps came closer. The floor creaked as the immense weight of the man and his armor made their way to the sudden rift. He peered through and jumped back as he realized a person was on the other side of the rift. There was something peculiar, they wore clothing that was not common to his lands. The person spoke.

 

“Are you…are you Zarron from the novel Holyrage Chronicles?”

 

“Aye the one and only he replied. However you are likely looking for my creator.” Zarron stopped and looked around the room for a moment or two. After a moment he huffed and left. His heavy footsteps rung out clearly on the wooden floor. In a moment the door opened up. Zarron stood there looking up at the sky for another moment. A shout of victory rang out from him. The floor groaned as he came running back to you.

 

“As I was saying you are looking for my creator. I had to sort out what day it was. You can meet him and even talk with him on the next Thursday. Now, I must be off.” Zarron made three steps away before he turned back to you.

 

“He is a rather friendly lot. You should take some time and say hello.” With that the portal closed.

 

Hello everyone, now if you are still with me which I hope you are. Gibson Bookstore in Concord, NH has opened their doors generously for myself to host an author signing event. Who am I you might ask?

 

Well I am Jonathan Socha, a local author from Pittsfield, NH. I recently published my first novel Holyrage Chronicles Vivication. It is an epic fantasy novel of good vs evil. The story is focused around Zarron Ra Holyrage, the last of an old bloodline as he is thrust into a conflict against an ancient evil that even the oldest Gods had trouble containing. Will the defenders of the mighty colossal wall Fenrir and the last of the Holyrage line be able to stand against the might of the unknown? Will he learn the true power of his name before it is too late?

 

Join me for this unique event to support a local Author July 13th at Gibson Bookstore, Concord, NH. You will get the opportunity to have a copy of the novel signed, or pick one up if you don’t have a copy. More importantly you will get to come down and pick my brain for a little and just talk with me. Holyrage Chronicles Vivication is an international selling novel and has reached top 25 in many promotional events. It is good for the young adults to the old and a whirlwind of action and adventure the whole way through. The first few sales/signings will include a gift from me to you of the epic cover art of the novel. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new. So please join me.

 

Thursday July 13th 5:30 pm at Gibsons Bookstore located at 45 S Main St, Concord, NH

VA Secretary And Canadian Minister Of Veterans Affairs Forging Partnership To Address Issues Faced By Both Nations’ Veterans
Submitted Via Merrill Vaughan

 

Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Dr. David J. Shulkin, and Canada’s Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Kent Hehr, joined officials from both nations June 27-28 at VA headquarters to discuss how strategic partnerships can help improve benefits and services for Veterans and their families.

 

“Expanding partnerships — even beyond our geographic boundaries — will allow us to improve our services to our Veterans and their families,” Secretary Shulkin said. “Additionally, this new partnership with a key ally will allow us to share best practices in the areas of health care, benefits and other important support programs.”

 

The two-day U.S.-Canadian VA meeting focused on issues affecting Veterans from both nations, such as easing service members’ transition to civilian life, preventing homelessness among the Veteran community and mental-health support.

 

“Improving benefits and services for Veterans and their families are among the highest priorities for both our countries,” Minister Hehr said. “In order to achieve these goals, we must continue to reach out and consult with those we serve, to ensure we are putting resources in the areas where they are most needed. However, we should not limit ourselves with respect to where we seek out new ideas. We must also take every opportunity to learn from those outside our respective borders who are wrestling with similar challenges.”

 

Veterans Affairs officials from both countries agreed that the meeting was a good first step toward mutual collaboration between allied nations as they seek opportunities to continue supporting Veterans and their families.

Letter To The Editor

 

To the Editor; 
Select Board meeting 6/27/17- Most of the evening was taken up with a public hearing relative to establishing the boundaries for a petitioned Village Water District. As with many public hearings, this one was called to try to educate the affected voters as we comply with State law.

 

Formation of a District, as well as a possible purchase of Pittsfield Aqueduct, is not a foregone conclusion, and these hearings shouldn’t be construed as support for its acquisition by a majority of the Select Board. Ultimately, this will be decided by voters within a District, not a committee or the BOS.

 

Fred Okrent, chair of the Aqueduct Purchase Committee, fielded questions, concerns and criticisms from attendees.  It was my impression that many complex questions remain.  Another hearing is being planned, as it is an extremely significant consideration that has many ramifications the townspeople should be aware of before deciding how to vote.

 

James Adams was selected from a field of four applicants to fill the vacant Board seat.  A 3 to 1 majority felt Jim had the most important qualifications to round out this Board and fill some gaps where we can use his expertise.  We thank all four who stepped up to offer their service.  This is not an easy job. The lucky ones may be those not selected.

 

Chief Cain and George Batchelder came to us to report on progress in their departments and expressed frustration with budget cuts adopted last March.

 

Several tax abatements were considered. Two were granted, four denied. We pay Avitar to determine assessment values, and that is their one reason for employment  here.  They’re the ones who represent us before the State Appeals Board and we feel that it’s usually prudent to follow their recommendations.
