2012 NH Trophy Fish Winners AnnouncedAnd A New State Record Pike For 2013__
New Hampshire Lives On Water_______________________________

The winners of New Hamp-shire's 2012 Trophy Fish Pro-gram have been announced byDon Miller, Fisheries Biologistand Trophy Fish Program Coor-dinator for the New HampshireFish and Game Department. The
program gives fishing enthusi-asts of all ages the opportunity toreceive recognition while pro-viding biologists with importantinformation on the state's fish-eries over time. All successfulapplicants receive a "TrophyFish" shoulder patch. Then, eachFebruary, the person who caught
the largest fish in each speciescategory is presented with a spe-cial certificate. There are 22freshwater species and sevensaltwater species categories for
both kept and released fish. Allages and all legal methods of an-gling are represented.
The Trophy Fish Program wascreated in the 1970s, althoughthe state's record fish informa-
tion dates back to 1911. "Overthe years the Trophy Fish Pro-gram provides us valuable dataon fish populations not normallyreported to us," Don Millernoted. "And almost every year, anew state record is reported,which says a lot about NewHampshire's fisheries."
Three state records were docu-mented in 2012. Andrew Whiteof Vernon, Vermont caught a 30inch long, 11 pound, 6.88 ouncechannel catfish out of the Con-necticut River in Hinsdale. Ear-lier that same month, White hadcaught a 10 pound, 3.52 ouncechannel catfish in the same wa-ters, which measured 30.75inches. Timothy Moore Jr. ofPortsmouth caught a record greytriggerfish weighing 2 pounds,1.12 ounces and measuring animpressive 15.5 inches in length.Marc Schloss of Northboro,Massachusetts, caught a 9
pound, 0.06 ounce, 21.25 inchlong tautog (or blackfish) inHampton Harbor for a newrecord in that category.
And 2013 is off to a great startwith the verified new recordnorthern pike caught on Febru-ary 16 of this year. Kevin Phelpsof Monroe caught a 24 pound,9.44 ounce pike at the MooreReservoir on the ConnecticutRiver. Congratulations, Kevin!

There may be no better way tosee how our environment sup-
ports a vibrant state economythan to consider our reliance onwater. First, tourism is a main-stay of our economy, and muchof our tourism is water-based oris supported by clean rivers,lakes, and ocean waters. Sec-ond, high-quality water bodiesand recreational opportunities
are critical to the excellent qual-ity of life that helps to attract em-ployers and an educated workforce to New Hampshire and
support the New Hampshire ad-vantage. Third, reliable waterservices such as clean drinkingwater, reliable wastewater dis-
posal and properly maintaineddams provide essential supportto New Hampshires economy.
We would like to think that ourhigh-quality water resources andwater services will always behere, that our quality of life willonly improve, and that our infra-structure will always support a
strong economy. But accordingto the Water Sustainability Com-mission, appointed by GovernorJohn Lynch in 2011, New Hamp-
shire faces new water-relatedchallenges now and in the com-ing years, and new approachesare needed to ensure that ourstate will have enough cleanwater for future generations.
New Hampshire Lives on Wateris the Water Sustainability Com-missions highly readable 28-
page report, urging governmentand the private sector to work to-gether on long-term approachesto addressing water issues. The
report identifies four key areasthat need to be addressed: water-related education, infrastructure

represented in New Hampshire's 2012 Trophy Fish Program. In2012, three lake trout were caught and registered over 20 lbs. insize, quite a remarkable feat.
Of the 83 entrants in 2012, 11 anglers (or 13%) were under 15 yearsold. And these kids are serious anglers! Justin Learn, an 11 year oldfrom Hillsborough, caught a 14 pound, 5.76 ounce northern pike atPierce Lake to win his category. Thirteen-year-old Drew Dunlap of
Meredith just missed the win in the largemouth bass catch-and-re-lease category with a very respectable 24-inch largemouth caughton Lake Winnipesaukee. Nine-year-old Liam Hemmerling of En-field, ten-year-old Wyatt Lumsden of Milton, and two seven yearolds, Katy Nowell of Braintree, MA, and Dominic DeClement ofHollis, N.H., all caught and released excellent largemouth bass fromlakes around the state. Samuel Bennett, age 15, of New Boston,caught and released a 15-inch black crappie. Congratulations to allthe entrants and winners for 2012. Grab the kids and get fishing for2013!

investment, forward-lookingmanagement approaches, andenvironmental monitoring.
The Commissions 14 membersrepresented a broad range of per-spectives on water needs, use,and management. Only twomembers the Director of the
N.H. Fish and Game Departmentand I represented state govern-ment agencies; the rest repre-sented municipalities and the
private and non-profit sectors.The Commission reviewed pre-vious work, consulted with ex-
perts, and conducted anextensive public participation
process which included publicforums in six locations through-out the state.
An overview of the Commis-sions findings makes it clearthat there is no room for compla-cency:
New Hampshire residents rec-
ognize the importance of waterto their quality of life, but manyare asking for more informationabout their role in ensuring a sus-tainable water future for NewHampshire.
Residents are increasingly con-cerned about access to and con-trol of water and water supplies.
New Hampshire is experienc-ing declining water quality insome of our lakes, rivers and es-tuaries.
Extreme weather events are in-creasingly frequent, causing
problems with water quality,stormwater systems, flooding,and the ability of water systemsto meet customers needs.
The states water infrastruc-ture, last extensively upgraded inthe 1970s and 1980s, is agingand increasingly inadequate tomeet present needs.
Water issues vary from one
part of the state to another. Thereis no one-size-fits-all solutionthat solves problems from the
North Country to the Seacoast.At the same time, although thequality of groundwater variesfrom place to place, private wellsthroughout the state should betested for naturally occurringcontaminants such as arsenic andradon and for manmade contam-inants such as MtBE so thathomeowners can take appropri-ate action to protect their fami-lies health.
Investment is needed to protectour water resources and maintainour water infrastructure if thestate wants to maintain its water-derived economic advantage.
It bears repeating that the Com-
mission felt that the water chal-lenges we face now and will facein the future are different thanthose of the past; therefore, it istime for a departure from the so-lutions of the past. Todayswater problems are more com-
plex and require smarter ap-proaches and more resources toaddress them. The solutions re-quire the involvement of not juststate and local governments, but
businesses, institutions, individ-uals, and the Legislature. Cleanwater, where and when we needit, is a renewable resource onlyif we manage it effectively. Weowe its care to our children andtheir children. The work must
begin now.

Incessantly scouring the uni-verse for the weird, the wacky,and the stupid so you dont have
to.Greetings, and thanks for join-ing me for another week. First,
big news! A man was convictedof punching his neighbor in theface because he was annoyed bythe victims car horn beeping.Dean Martin Jr. was convicted offelony assault on HutchMcPheters. The men lived acrossthe street from each other. Al-legedly, Martin became angry
because every morningMcPheters gave his car hornthree quick beeps to say goodbye
to his daughter and mother. Pros-ecutors say one morning Martinthreatened McPheters, and
McPheters replied with a sarcas-tic comment about Martin onlyhitting women. (Thank goodnessI just wave goodbye!) [The Sun
Journal]
Next, its not all bad! A burglarfeeling guilty about stealing$800 from a store three decadesago has repaid the money, plusinterest. The anonymous thiefsent a note and $1,200 in $100
bills to the Barry County sher-iffs department. The writer ad-mitted breaking into the MiddleMart about 30 years ago. In a let-
ter packed with emotion andspelling errors, the writer asksfor help in locating a man towhom the writer owes themoney. Anyways, I did a very
bad thing that I am shamed ofand have lived with this guilt,the writer said. I cant begin tosay how sorry iam but have livedwith this guilt too long, the let-ter added. If you do find him,
please tell him that I was afool-ish stupid man when I did thatand iam sorrie. [WOOD-TV]
Finally, a woman who spit on anurse at a hospital has been sen-tenced to two years in prison.Fifty-year-old Nadine Godden
pleaded guilty to aggravated bat-tery. A second count of aggra-vated battery alleging she bit asecurity guards arm and spit onhim was dismissed in return forher guilty plea. The state saysGodden had been brought to thehospital extremely intoxicatedand, after using the restroom, re-fused to return to her room. Shespit on the nurse while employ-ees were trying to restrain her.[(Champaign)News-Gazette]
I still regularly ask Whatswrong with people? How cananyone do these things? Andthen I wondered if there is some-thing wrong mebecause I cant.Anyhow, one more list of head-lines from one recent day: (1)Duct-taped pup found in canal(2) 18 men brawl at Chuck ECheese (3) Woman pushed downstairs (4) 7 shot at family bar-
beque (5) Road-rage killerpleads guilty )6) Jury: Wifepushed man to death (7) Mancharged in oil change death (8)Deputy: Man admits murder plot(9) Police: Chicago baby killedwith single gunshot (10)Butchered horse carcass found.
Speaking of problems in society:Yet another Carnival Cruise shiphas broken down with no power,no water, and overflowing toi-
lets. The only good thing abouttaking a Carnival Cruise is even
Somali pirates wont try to boardthem now. [Leno]
It was the 109th annual dinner ofthe Explorers Club where wait-ers passed around hors doeuvrestopped with cockroaches, scorpi-ons and meal worms. The Ex-
plorers Club, founded in 1904,describes itself as a professionalsociety dedicated to the advance-ment of field research and theideal that it is vital to preservethe instinct to explore. Pastmembers have included individ-uals to achieve firsts: first to visitthe North Pole, the South Pole,the summit of Mt. Everest, thedeepest point in the ocean and
the moon. Its in keeping withthe clubs ethos, then, to valueculinary exploration. Also on the
menu were dishes made withgoat penis and testicles, camel,earthworms and rattlesnake. Afull-sized, roasted ostrich wasalso on display, its long neck
propped up with wire as a waitersliced meaty portions for adven-turous diners. A whole elk, agoat, a beaver and muskrats weresimilarly displayed and carved.Why? Ninety-eight percent ofthe population of America willnot go outside of the beef, porkand poultry diet, said one clubmember. The hope is that youllsee something that you think isdespicable, and youre willing totry it. Thats where the adventurecomes in.
In case you wondered, who are:Armando Perez, Peter Gene Her-nandez, Carlos Irwin Estvez,Marco Antonio Mui, and MarioArmando Lavandeira? In thesame order, they are the realnames of: Pitbull, Bruno Mars,Charlie Sheen, Marc Anthony,and Perez Hilton.
From Cancer Treatment Centersof America, the fine print: Nocase is typical. You should notexpect to experience these re-sults. So, uh...?
(Too much) Truth in advertising:If you dont feel good when youleave the bathroom, youve gotthe wrong paper. Mine is socheap, it still has knots in it.Sigh.
Later.
Wentworth Elementary School HostsGuest Violinist__________________________
On Thursday, February 21st, thestaff and students in grades 3-8were treated to a performance byAdrian Anantawan (www.adri-
anananantawan.com), a youngrising star violinist who happensto have a disability.
Mr. Anantawan was accompa-nied by pianist Amy Yang. In2002 Adrian won an interna-tional competition which VSA(The International Organizationon Arts and Disabilities) spon-sors for young musicians withdisabilities and as a winner also
performed at the Kennedy Cen-ter in our nations capital. Fund-ing for this performance was
provided by the New Hampshire
Music Festival's Visiting ArtistProgram.
As part of the Arts in LearningProgram of the Arts Alliance of
Northern New Hampshire(AANNH) and VSA NH (whichwas Very Special Arts), DeborahStuart provided two classroomvisits prior to the performance tohave a chance to share with stu-dents the unique talent and adap-tive approach Adrian uses in
playing the violin.
Ms. Stuart stated It was an op-portunity to talk with young peo-ple about what ability is, how wefeel about differences and how
excellence means far more thandisabilities. Principal KeithCharpentier said, It was fasci-nating to have this unique oppor-tunity to let our kids talk about asubject that often is not dis-cussed.
Wentworth Elementary Schoolwould like to thank Ms. DeborahStuart, Mr. Stephen Tessler, of
New Hampshire Music Festivalas well as Adrian Anantawan andAmy Yang for providing this
program to the students and staffof WES.

Im guessing that after eightyears Atticus and I have nowclimbed far more than five hun-dred four thousand-foot peaks inthe White Mountains. The bulkof those were done in the firstthree years. Since then we havetaken to other mountains andfound the solitude of thesesmaller, less crowded peaks butno less majestic well worth theswitch. It feels more like thewilderness we sought when wefirst started hiking.
In winter the trails to the fourthousand footers can be crowded
places. Hikers obsessed withwinter peakbagging break trailand consolidate the loose snowand make it easier, at least untilthe next snowfall. We do our
best to avoid the throngs. Thereare times though, that we missthese peaks we first came toknow and were called back to
them. But to avoid other hikerswe at often do them on off hours
even at night. Thats whatbrought us to the trailhead withonly an hour of sunlight left theother day and a storm due laterthat night.
With the last storm of winter ap-proaching and expected to dumpanywhere between eight andeighteen inches, I kept a closeeye on the weather radar and At-ticus and I started up the 2.6 miletrail to Mount Jackson. I wantedto reach the top, even though it
would be dark, to feel the energyof the upcoming storm, rest for a
bit, and then head down.
Daylight quickly waned in thefirst mile of the woods and myheadlamp came out quickly. Wemarched along the snowy trail,that beam of light chasing awaythe darkness ahead of us. Be-cause it is a relatively short hikeand the storm wasnt due in forseveral more hours we werent inmuch of a hurry. But putting onefoot in front of the hour in thedark seemed to get us where wewere going sooner than antici-
pated.
On Jacksons summit we wereabove the trees but swallowedwhole by the night. And let metell you, that can be a frighteningfeeling. To be so far away fromeveryone, to be perhaps the onlytwo on the trails with an oncom-ing storm. I checked my child-hood fear of the dark, let it turninto a bit of exhilaration instead,and then I checked my iPhone.Radar showed the storm was stilla ways off. I considered how Ifelt, checked on Atticus, and thenI decided not to turn back. In-stead we took off for MountPierce and dropped down off ofthe summit cone.
The trail from Jackson to Piercecan be a bit confusing in winterand wind and previously fallensnow concealed the way at times
so I had to use my imagination.I had been using my Mi-croSpikes but switched quicklyto snowshoes and that was asmart move.
Through the night we pushedthrough the snowy open area andthrough the ghostly woods.When the climb started weslowed our pace and trudged upPierce. Just below the summitthe battery to my headlamp wasfailing and I pulled out anotherheadlamps. Soon enough wewere on top of Pierce and I held
Atticus in my arms, fed himsome peanut butter crackers, andwe looked into the darkness andslowly turned to look in all direc-tions. Nothing but night.
There was no wind, just an eerienothingness. As we stood thereI was at once pulled both to gethome into the warmth and com-fort of bed and driven to go evenfurther. Im not sure what it wasthat drove me forward but afterlooking at the weather radaragain I decided we still had
plenty of time. And so our hikeup Mount Jackson hadntstopped there as planned. It hadalso taken us to the summit of
Pierce. But the night continuedto call to me and since we werefeeling strong, we didnt turnand head home, but headed forMount Eisenhower instead.
In daylight this is a marvelousstretch of trail that is mostlyabove treeline. Alone at night itfelt as though I was Orpheusheading into the underworld toretrieve his late wife Eurydice.But we werent there to retrievea lost soul, we were simply com-
pelled to be up there, I imaginedto bring something to my ownsoul. And thats what it felt like.
The night takes so much awaywith its mysterious gloom andyet, as Ive found out through theyears, it also adds something to
me when Im on a mountain. Itsa feeling of completeness to beout there by ourselves in a beau-tiful place under an amazing set-ting.
Weve been on these same peakson clear nights and had mysenses washed clean by fallingstars. But on a cloudy night,while there was no heavenly fir-mament to keep us company, Ifound instead a deeper mysteri-ous feeling. I felt as though wewere at one with the mountainsand yet invisible to everyone we
know. We were out there, themountains to ourselves, movingthrough the shroud of darknessand clouds and kept company bythe thrill that pulses through theair that comes before a bigstorm.
The last climb up Eisenhowerhad us moving slowly and a fewwayward flakes began fallingand I was wondering if the radarhad been wrong. On top of thatimmense bald peak we took onlast prolonged break, checkedthe radar again, and I fed Atticusmore peanut butter crackers, andthen we turned for home.
Of course home was four milesof hiking and another thirtymiles by car away. But still itfelt comforting to be heading
back. The radar was right andthose few flakes were harmlessand they stopped and with thatmy mind eased a bit and wemade our way down the Craw-ford Path, and after a short roadwalk back to our car. It was just
before 1:00 am.
We had climbed three peaks inthe dark, walked eleven miles,and if you ask me why we choseto do it when we did, Im notsure I could give you a sound an-swer. Or at least one that wouldmake sense to you.
Thoreau wrote, When I wouldrecreate myself, I seek the dark-
est wood, the thickest and mostinterminable and, to the citizen,most dismal swamp. I enter aswamp as a sacred place, a sanc-tum sanctorum. There is thestrength, the marrow, of Nature.
Whenever I need to recreatemyself, or at least get back tome, I take to the mountains atnight. I never think it out otherthan to plan what we are bring-ing with us for safety and I, ofcourse, watch the weather in-stead Im simply compelled toleave the safety of home behind
and journey out in a manner thatused to feel uncomfortable tome.
When we woke up the nextmorning the snow had beenfalling for a few hours and it wasthick in the trees and on theground and I thought back to ouradventure of the night before andit felt more like a dream than re-ality. But then again, I havecome to see all the best past ad-ventures that way. They lingerin memory as if they were toogood to have ever actually havehappened. They linger like adream. They keep me companyand remind me of my strengthsat times of worry or concern.They feed me and nurture mysense of adventure again, at leastuntil the next time were calledand compelled to listen.

Rituals of Spring
Well its that time of year againwhen we can see the end of an-other ski season. Although muchof my yard is bare ground rightnow the forecast as of this writ-ing tells us there is yet another
winter storm in the works whichmeans maybe one last blast ofpowder skiing! Hopefully thehigher elevations will get snow alittle less dense, but even if weget a heavy wet dump it willmean some extended life forthose natural snow trails andglades. Another plus will be thequality of the spring surfaceswhen we get that brief windowof Corn snow. The surface mixof natural and man made snowthe has been groomed and frozenover night then slowly begins tothaw during the day will yieldgranules similar in size andshape to a kernel of corn whichalways makes for some fun ski-ing and riding at the end of the
season. And lets not forget that atthe very end when the overnighttemps stay above freezing we getto ski on Corn's distant cousin
Crud which although can beheavy and slushy by the middleof the afternoon is still great funespecially on those bump trails!
Things to think about as you pre-pare for this all to short slice ofthe season; water sunblock and
wax! Spending the day out onthe hill any time of winter willdehydrate us quicker than wethink but during this part of theseason we need to be more vigi-lant with our intake of H2O.Having a water bottle handy andfilled will be a huge plus whenthe sun is beating down and weare working those quads a littlemore than usual. We also need to
be liberal in our use of sunblockthis time of year, the double ef-fect of a strong sun and the re-flection off the snow will turn
your nose and cheeks scarletmuch quicker than you think!And yes we should be mindful ofour wax! If you plan to spendsome time on the hill it is proba-
bly a good idea to give your localski shop a little end of the season
business and get a good wax onyour skis or board. Although theuniversal waxes do work well, itmay be a good idea to ask for aspecialty wax more suited to a
bit higher temp. Also having achunk of wax in you pocket torub on will be a bonus on thosedays when the quick tempchanges make some surfaces
just a bit grippy!
Some smaller areas will be clos-ing at the end of March whileother larger areas will always tryto stick out well into April. Callahead to make sure, but there aredeals to be had every where thistime of year if you do a little re-search. Mostly though...don'tmiss out...this is the time to takethat vacation day from work,
play hooky from class or just putlife's regular routine on hold andenjoy the last blast of ski season!

Welcome!
Yup! You guessed it, another twoweeks have flown by. March hasbeen interesting to say the least.Warm, cold, rain, snow, andeverything in between. Overall,
personally, I think I dislikeMarch the most. It's dirty, salty,muddy, snowy, raw, cold, moremuddy and people are just tryingto get a glimpse of the sun andwarmth that might follow.
March is also a time for theTown Meetings throughout thearea. Living in Warren, a town ofaround 900, it's always a very in-teresting Town Meeting to saythe very least. Usually we passmillions of dollars in a matter ofminutes, and discuss and argueover a $100 article, but, I guessthat's part of all the fun.
In Warren, after the polls close,the ballots are pulled out of thelocked box, and normally sepa-rated in to two or three piles. Ta-bles are set up with a caller ateach table and three other peo-
ple who make a mark next to thenames on a sheet of paper, whenthe names of those voted for onthe ballots are called off. Whenthey get to the fifth mark, they all
say check, to know that they havethe same amounts across theboard. This verifies that every-one matches and the numbersare correct as the calling goeson. It may be old school to some,but it works and is very efficient.
I am proud to say, that for prob-ably the past 15 or more years, Ihave been a caller after the pollsclose. Calling off the names ofthe people voted for, while theother three at the table make thechecks. Never boring, always anenjoyable, yet important job.
However, even in a town ofaround 900, where probably 1/4of that number actually vote, itnever ceases to amaze me at howinconsiderate some voters canbe!! Yes, I call it an inconsidera-tion to those who have taken thetime to run for an office.
I have come across blank ballots,ballots with slang words writtenin, ballots with names of the likesof Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse,Charlie Brown, Butch Cassidy,with things like "anyone buthim," "not this jerk," written inamongst a variety of otherthings!
Some may think it funny, othersmay just chuckle and move on,but it disgusts me to see votesthrown away for absolutely noreason. If you don't like some-one, don't vote for them - period!
Leave the spot blank or writesomeone who is actually runningon a write-in vote in.
The reason I bring this up thisyear, is because I always say thatevery vote counts. This year theydid. For those taking the time torun for an office, many times fora thankless position, the least avoter could do, is respect thehonor and duty of being a voter!
Case at hand - two people run-ning for the Town's Road agent
position. One on the ballot andone as a write in. The vote was101 to 98. Two School Boardmembers running, the vote was104 to 101. There are recounts
scheduled for both.
So to those writing in DaffyDuck, Mickey Mouse and otheroddities not mentionable here in
the paper, I say this: your votes,had they had been able to becounted as actual votes, couldhave made the outcome of theseresults different in either direc-tion!
So why even come to vote if youare just throwing your voteaway? Why bother? Why wasteour time and the time of thoseactually running for a positionthey want, believe in, and onewhich could mean their pay-check?
The next time you go to vote,think about how close these two
positions where and think aboutthe vote you simply tossed awaythat could have made the out-come much different. Yes, everyvote does count! Even yours......

NH Consumer Warning:Identity Thieves Trolling for
Your Tax Refund
Nationwide More than $5 Bil-lion in Refund Thefts This Year
by Mike Clifford
Local consumer advocates warnthat identity thieves are workingovertime this year, trying to get
people to reveal personal infor-mation by email and phone sothey can steal tax refunds.Harold Moldoff, a volunteer"Fraud Fighter" with AARP NewHampshire, said identity thieves
have already made off with anestimated $5.2 billion in fraudu-lent tax refunds.
Most scammers work by phoneand by email, he said, and theyusually entice consumers with amoney-making proposition.
"They say, 'We'll get you $80 inextra refunds if you complete thefollowing customer survey forthe IRS,'" he explained. "It's ascam; the IRS does not do that."
Moldoff said consumers shouldknow that the IRS only makesinitial contact through the U.S.mail; agents never use e-mail or
phone for that purpose. Tax re-fund theft is up 60 percent overlast year, he warned, and is thefastest-growing form of identitytheft.
Consumers can file to have theIRS correct the problem, headded, but noted that many peo-
ple are in desperate need of theirtax return, and the process cantake a while.
"The average refund is $3,000,"he said. "Theft puts people in fi-nancial distress until they finally
get the money that's owed tothem, and that can take up to sixmonths."
While there is no way for tax-payers to be 100 percent suretheir identity is safe, Moldoffsays people can use the clock toreduce the odds of becoming avictim of this kind of tax fraud.
"You're certainly so much betteroff getting it filed as quickly as
possible," he said, "so if some-body does in fact try to steal youridentity to file for a fraudulenttax refund, you've already beaten
them to it."Anyone who thinks they might
be a victim of tax refund fraudshould notify the IRS by contact-ing the Identity Protection Spe-cialized Unit at 800-908-4490,ext. 245.

Inspiring Words for You!Dear Friends, Unity and Diversity in theBody. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Just as a
body, though one, has many parts, but all its manyparts form one body, so it is with Christ. For wewere all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one
bodywhether Jews or Gentiles, slave or freeand we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Evenso the body is not made up of one part, but of many.The eye cannot say to the hand,I dont needyou!And the head cannot say to the feet, I dontneed you!On the contrary, those parts of the bodythat seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the
parts that we think are less honorable we treat withspecial honor. And the parts that are unpresentableare treated with special modesty, while our present-able parts need no special treatment. But God has
put the body together, giving greater honor to theparts that lacked it, so that there should be no divi-sion in the body, but that its parts should have equalconcern for each other. If one part suffers, every
part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every partrejoices with it.You have a gift in the Body.Useit.You're important.They need you. WE ARE ONEBODY! God love you all.

Dear EarthTalk: What is the de-extinction movement all about?
-- Bill Mitchell, NewYork, NY
De-extinctionbringing backextinct animal and plantspeciesis a term that conserva-tion biologists and environmen-talists have been bandying aboutfor a decade or so. But only re-cently have advances in geneticsequencing and molecular biol-ogy transformed de-extinctionfrom theory into something thatwe are all likely to see in ourown lifetimes.
Or so Revive & Restore, a proj-ect of the Stewart Brands Cali-fornia-based non-profit Long
Now Foundation, likes to think.The group is creating a move-ment around de-extinction, andis taking the lead on efforts to
bring back the passenger pigeonwhile helping out on other ongo-ing efforts to restore other ex-
tinct species including Europeanaurochs, Pyrenean ibexes, Amer-ican chestnut trees, Tasmaniantigers, California condors, evenwooly mammoths.
The main rationale behind bring-ing back these long gone speciesand others is to preserve biodi-versity and genetic diversity,undo harm that humans havecaused in the past, restore dimin-
ished ecosystems and advancethe science of preventing extinc-tions.
While de-extinction may seemonly theoretical at this point, bi-ologists are already knocking onits door. In 2003, Spanish re-searchers used frozen tissuefrom the last Pyrenean ibex,which had died three years ear-lier, to clone a new living twin(birthed by a goat). While the
baby ibex died of respiratoryfailure within 10 minutes of its
birtha common problem inearly cloning effortsthe de-ex-tinction movement was officially
born.
Revive & Restore expects to seemuch more progress in the com-ing decade given the recentfocus on the topic by geneticists,conservation biologists and envi-ronmentalists. The group isworking with researchers aroundthe world to put together a list ofpotentially revivable species.Some of the criteria for whether
a given species is a good candi-date for revival include how de-sirable it would be to have itaround, how practical it would
be to bring it back, and whetheror not re-wilding (returning itto a natural environment) would
be possible.
First up for Revive & Restore isthe passenger pigeon, which washunted from a population of bil-lions in the 19th century to ex-
tinction by 1914. The group hasenlisted the help of bird expertsaround the world to contribute tothe project, and in February 2012convened a meeting at HarvardUniversity to coordinate the nextsteps. Currently Revive and Re-store is busy sequencing theDNA of the passenger pigeonsnearest living relative, the band-tailed pigeon, and is simultane-ously gathering DNA from some1,500 preserved passenger pi-geon specimens. The grouphopes to combine this biologicaland genetic material to reintro-duce the once abundant species.
In response to critics who ques-tion the logic of bringing backextinct species in a world poten-tially unprepared to host them,Brand, founder of the WholeEarth Catalog, counters that itsour job to try to fix the hole innature we created. Its ourfault that some of these crucialspecies have been completelywiped out, so we should dedicateour energy to bringing them
back, he says. It may take gen-erations but we will get thewooly mammoth back.
