the forecast. Vehicles may park in city controlled parking lots during this time without the need for a parking permit.

“Keeping parked vehicles off the roads during the winter months is critical to giving Public Works crews proper access,” Co-larusso said.

The Library, Third Street and School Street parking lots have specific areas where over-night parking is allowed. Drivers should look for signs in the lots indicating which rows are avail-able.

Vehicles found in violation of the winter parking ban will be issued a $15 parking ticket. Ve-hicles interfering with snow re-moval may be towed.

The city will also enact an emergency parking ban for the downtown area, when needed, to facilitate snow removal. The emergency parking ban will be announced by 3 p.m. each eve-ning and take effect at 1 a.m. the following morning. When the emergency parking ban is in effect, any car parked on a down-town street will be towed. Notifi-cation of the emergency parking ban will be conducted through local media, the City of Dover website, cable channel 22 and Dover Download.

DOVER - Christine Wyrsch, MEd,

BSN, RN-C, a nurse in the Center for Pain Management at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital (WDH) was chosen by the New Hampshire Nurses Association (NHNA) as the 2013 Direct Care Nurse of the Year. Wyrsch has worked as a direct care nurse at WDH since 2007 and continues to educate others and provide extra support and advocacy for her patients. Wyrsch has experi-ence in critical care, cardiology, surgical and emergency nursing.

“There are few times throughout your nursing career you come across another nurse

whose practice makes you say to yourself ‘that’s the kind of

nurse I want to be,’” said Melissa Philippe, BSN, RN-C, a WDH Center for Pain Management nurse. “For me, that nurse is Chris Wyrsch.”

In a nomination letter, Center for Pain Management Nurse Manager Donna Marie Everett, MS, BSN, RN, said, “Chris’s ability and passion for best practice and can-do attitude, along with strong leadership and a talent for both patient and peer education, brings state-of-the-art nursing practice to our clinic, and to our facility.”

The Direct Care Nurse of the Year award is given to a reg-istered nurse who exemplifies

DURHAM - For Alex Freid and Brett

Chamberlin, the past month has been a heady whirlwind of high profile meetings and prestigious accolades, cross-country flights and Nobel handshakes.

Now, the brains behind the Post Landfill Action Network (PLAN), a non-profit organi-zation committed to reducing waste on college campuses, are setting their sights on what lies ahead for their momentum-

strength and passion as a profes-sional nurse in clinical practice using best practice standards, patient advocacy and community involvement. The recipient needs to be highly regarded as a leader among peers.

Wrysch received the award during the New Hampshire Nurses Association’s Celebra-tion and Transformation Awards Banquet in Concord, N.H. in Oc-tober.

Eight WDH nurses were nominated for five categories of awards from the NHNA. Ad-ditional Nominees for Nurse of the Year award included Barbara Stuart, RN, CHPN, ASN, Pallia-

tive Care nurse at WDH; Mary Mignano, RN, ASN, staff nurse at WDH; and Patricia Clark, RN, CPAN, CAPA, ASN, Post Anesthesia Recovery Unit nurse at WDH.

Nominees for the NHNA Professional Advancement award included Jacqueline Mc-Court, RN, PNP-BC, MSN, Pe-diatric Clinical Nurse Specialist with CHaD at WDH; Cathleen Smith, RN, ASN, staff nurse at WDH; and Kimberly McMahon, RN, BSN, staff nurse at WDH. Nominee for the NHNA Cham-pion of Nursing award included Collette Carville, RN, Cardiac Rehabilitation nurse at WDH.

Director Doug Steele and Police Chief Anthony F. Colarusso, Jr. announced the winter parking ban will begin citywide in Dover on Dec. 1, and conclude April 1, 2014.

The ban requires that no ve-hicle be parked on any city street or sidewalk between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., and is not limited to nights with snow in

Downtown restaurants, bars and other late night business are encouraged to sign up for an e-mail notification of an emer-gency parking ban by contacting the Parking Bureau at [email protected] or by calling 603-516-2277.

“Late-night workers leaving their cars along the road until the early morning hours has been a major problem for years,” Steele said. “Use of the emergency park-ing ban for the past few winters when we had repeated heavy snowstorms really paid off.”

Streets included in the emergency parking ban area are: Chestnut Street; Main Street; Chapel Street; School Street; First Street; Second Street; Locust Street from Washington to Silver Street; Washington Street from Belknap to River Street; Central Avenue from Sixth Street to Silver Street; Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets (Central to Chest-nut); Henry Law Avenue from Central Avenue to George Street; Broadway from Central Avenue to St. John Street; Hale Street; St. Thomas Street from Central to Locust Street; Locust Street from Hale Street to Washington Street.

Meet Buck! Buck is just the happiest dog who just wants to run and play. He may be a full grown adult, but don’t let that fool you, he hasn’t slowed down at all. Buck has loved every person he has met at the shelter so far. He doesn’t have the best dog manners, but he may be able to live with another mellow dog that can teach him how to be polite. He came in as a stray, so his history with cats is unknown, but he does seem to have fun chasing them around the shelter. Age: 4 1/2 years. Sex: Neutered Male. Breed: German Shepherd.

Treks 4 Tots is for younger campers, ages three-and-a-half to five. Trekkers may enroll by the day or for all four days, and attend either a half day (9 a.m.-12 p.m.) or full day (9 a.m.-3 p.m.) session.

Safari Camp is an environ-mental day program for school age campers, grades K-5. Camp-ers may enroll by the day or for all four days. Sessions run from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. After-care is avail-

This year there are even more farmers, fishermen and food pur-veyors serving up affordable and tasty local foods to the seacoast community. Add to that list, the kids’ activities, educational cook-ing demos, craft vendors hosted by Wentworth Greenhouse and live music by NH musicians and you have a market worth the drive that will have you coming back for more every time. To find out more about the market locations, dates and available items visit www.sea-coasteatlocal.org and the Winter Farmers’ Market page.

The Winter Farmers’ Mar-kets accept Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT). This program enables SNAP recipients to use their EBT cards to purchase healthy, fresh, and locally pro-duced food.

ers, fishermen and chefs of the seacoast to bring in the seventh winter market season.

The first market of the season will be hosted by Went-worth Greenhouses in Rollins-ford on Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. With over 50 vendors, there is plenty to see and plenty of deli-cious food to check off your shop-ping list. The markets run from November through April; seven of the markets are hosted at Wen-tworth Greenhouses. Five more markets take place at Exeter High School. All markets run on Satur-days from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Every year is a little differ-ent,” said Kate Donald, Market Coordinator for Seacoast Eat Local, “But the excitement and anticipation for the first market is always energizing. We see so many familiar faces, friends and family coming together with farmers and vendors they enjoyed supporting through the summer. The market provides the perfect opportunity for the local com-munity to find high quality, nu-tritious local food options year round, while continuing to sup-port and grow the local agricul-tural economy.”

Seacoast Eat Local’s Winter Farmers Markets are sponsored by Wentworth Greenhouses, Exeter Hospital, and Moxy, spon-soring this year’s cooking demon-stration series. Seacoast Eat Local connects people with sources of locally grown foods and advocates eating locally for the health of the environment, community, culture and economy.

ROLLINSFORD - The Artists of Salmon Falls

Mills will hold their annual Hol-iday Open Studios in Rollinsford on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 23 and 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Original artwork, jewelry, sculpture, prints and photo-graphs, cards, furniture, hand-crafts and more will be featured on five floors in two buildings, promising a fruitful start to holi-day shopping for many visitors. Approximately 50 resident and guest artists, artisans, and busi-nesses will participate in this free and popular event at the historic Salmon Falls Mills.

In addition, the Open Stu-dios help visitors learn first-hand how and why artists work the way they do.

David Random, in Studio 580, creates fantasy rocketship sculptures from repurposed an-

tique and vintage components, such as toasters and lawn sprin-klers and kitchen utensils. Chil-dren and adults alike are fas-cinated by his process, which, Random says, “are a nod to the early artists who went into space long before any scientist.”

Down the hall in Studio 514 is Dawn Boyer, whose con-temporary, impressionistic flo-rals and landscapes are known for their vivid color and emo-

tional resonance. “My favorite quote is from

a girl who came in during last year’s Open Studios,” Boyer says. “She wrote in my guest book, ‘I love your art. It makes me happy.’ So I gave her a mini-art lesson, and we talked about how when you place the right purple next to a green, it makes both colors look even better, which makes the artist and viewer feel a posi-tive emotion they wouldn’t with just plain green sitting there. She couldn’t wait to try it out when she got home.”

Boyer, who received a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts this year, will have original artwork, cards, and prints for sale.

Other artists, such as Bar-bara London in Studio 549, are multi-dimensional. London, a composer, musician, and wa-

the water with their skin tempo-rarily dyed whichever color the woolen mill was releasing into the river that day. Anecdotally, other stories have surfaced too: the day in August 1930 when a nearly 40-foot whale beached itself in the shallow Cochecho down by the old power plant, and the mystery surrounding the “Turkish Bath”, near the Orchard Street parking lot, that appears on an old map.

The public will be invited to submit other “Riverstories”, known either by legend, by oral history passed down in families, or through personal memories. The “Faces of Dover” project will memorialize the best sto-ries with storyboards along the banks of the three rivers in the city.

Maglaras’ presentation is free and open to the public.

For more information on how to join or contribute to “Faces of Dover”, contact [email protected].

DOVER - To kickstart a new “Faces

of Dover” project, Captain George Maglaras, local histori-an, lifelong Dover resident, and owner of George’s Marina on Cochecho Street, will speak on Tuesday, Dec.3 at 7 p.m. in the Dover Public Library’s Lecture Hall. The audience will enjoy lots of colorful waterfront his-tory and some tall tales focusing on Dover’s fifty miles of river frontage along the Cochecho, Bellamy and Piscataqua Rivers.

The “Faces of Dover” group, which is seeking in-terested citizens to join, will investigate the installation of historical markers along Do-ver’s riverbanks, at significant spots important in the city’s maritime history. The “River-stories” idea was inspired by an elderly gentleman who recalled swimming in the Bellamy River by Sawyer’s Lower Mills: all summer long, he and his friends would delight in coming out of

RYE - Through the month of Oc-

tober, The Rye Public Library was the Seacoast New Hamp-shire location for a three-part discussion series on the Second Amendment as part of the “Con-stitutionally Speaking” project, a yearlong pilot concept created by the NH Humanities Coun-cil, the NH Supreme Court So-ciety, and the UNH School of Law. The Project is intended to increase understanding of the U.S. Constitution and the rights and responsibilities of citizens and government; to help restore the capacity for meaningful civic discourse, and as an exploration of diverse views to elevate the public capacity for analyzing complex issues and encourage more informed perspectives on public policies.

The Rye Public Library ses-sions on Oct. 8, 15, and 22 invited participants to join their peers to discuss this tremendously impor-tant issue with expert facilitation by Dr. Jack Resch, Professor of History and Humanities at the University of New Hampshire Manchester campus, and Profes-sor John M. Greabe of the UNH School of Law. The academic guides brought their particu-

lar acumen to bear through the progression of the series, helping refine the discussion with both historical and legal perspectives.

Consistent with the discus-sion ground rules, a civil and constructive dialog progressed throughout the sessions, explor-ing issues raised through read-ings provided by both facilitators and participants, as well as by personal experience and cur-rent events. A group of up to 20 regional participants joined the conversation for all or part of the three night program. Inter-net access to designated read-ings was offered through the Rye Public Library website allowing participants to prepare for each session. Follow-up e-mail news-letters recapped each session and provided links to additional ma-terial.

In the first session Dr. Resch offered historical context on the practical, philosophical and constitutional underpin-nings of the Second Amendment. At the second meeting Professor Greabe provided a timeline of key judicial evolution and legal prec-edent that determines today’s in-terpretation of the Amendment. In the third and final session, participants were invited to join

the facilitators in submission of group reading selections. Subse-quent discussion synthesized ear-lier conversations, attempting to isolate key factors that have lead to the charged and divisive ele-ments of today’s debate over the right to bear arms in America.

Throughout the course of the series, multiple viewpoints were considered, and individual opinions expressed. Meaningful context provided through the ac-ademic facilitators and selected readings helped inform the dis-cussion and develop shared ob-servations. While the divergent philosophies on either side of the issue were strongly evident in these observations, the impartial, open forum provided by this dis-cussion helped demonstrate that reasoned debate and sensible leg-islation may ultimately provide working solutions for the compli-cated issues raised by the right to bear arms in America.

All readings are available at the Rye Public Library web-site www.ryepubliclibrary.org and audio transcripts of the ses-sions are available upon request. See www.constitutionallyspeak-ingnh.org for information on upcoming programs, newspaper articles, and videos of past talks.

Carey Armstrong-Ellis spe-cializes in children’s book illus-tration and fiber art, including ornaments and stuffed monsters. She also works with oils and sells prints of many of her paintings. Some artists, such as Michael Lee in Studio 152, will share space with other artists to dis-play paintings, prints and illus-trations, sculpture, jewelry, and metal work in various mediums and styles.

Throughout the day, vari-ous musicians will perform on each floor.

Once a shoe factory, the renovated mills located at 1 Front Street in Rollinsford have become a lively and diverse artist community.

Sharing Your “Bounty” Can Be Rewardingtions, you may want to be as generous as possible — because your gifts may allow you to both give and receive.

By donating cash or other financial assets, such as stocks, to a qualified charity (either a religious group or a group that has received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS), you help ben-efit an organization whose work you believe in — and, at the same time, you can receive valuable tax benefits.

To illustrate: If you give $100 to a qualified charity, and you’re in the 25 percent tax bracket, you can deduct $100, with a tax benefit of $25, when you file your 2013 taxes. There-fore, the real “cost” of your do-nation is just $75 ($100 minus the $25 tax savings).

Furthermore, if you donate certain types of non-cash assets, you may be able to receive additional tax benefits. Suppose you give $1,000 worth of stock to a charitable group. If you’re in the 25 percent brack-et, you’ll be able to deduct $250 when you file your taxes. And by donating the stock, you can

avoid paying the capital gains taxes that would be due if you had eventually sold the stock yourself.

To claim a charitable de-duction, you have to be able to itemize deductions on your taxes. Charitable gifting can get more complex if you choose to integrate your charitable giving with your estate plans to help you reduce your taxable estate. The estate tax is consistently debated in Congress, and the exemption level has fluctuated in recent years, so it’s not easy to predict if you could eventu-ally subject your heirs to these taxes. Nonetheless, you can still work with your tax and legal advisors now to take steps to reduce any possible estate tax burden in the years ahead.

One such step might in-volve establishing a charitable remainder trust. Under this ar-rangement, you’d place some assets, such as appreciated stocks or real estate, in a trust, which could then use these assets to pay you a lifetime income stream. When you es-tablish the trust, you may be

able to receive a tax deduction based on the charitable group’s “remainder interest” — the amount the charity is likely to ultimately receive. (This figure is determined by an IRS for-mula.) Upon your death, the trust would relinquish the re-maining assets to the charita-ble organization you’ve named. Keep in mind, though, that this type of trust can be complex. To establish one, you’ll need to work with your tax and legal advisors.

Of course, you can also choose to provide your loved ones with monetary gifts while you’re still alive. You can give up to $14,000 per year, per in-dividual, to as many people as you choose without incurring the gift tax. For example, if you have three children, you could give them a cumulative $42,000 in a single year — and so could your spouse.

Thanksgiving is a fine time to show your generosity. And, as we’ve seen, being gen-erous can be rewarding — for your recipients and yourself.

Thanksgiving is almost here. If you

have the financial re-sources to provide a com-

fortable life for your family, you have reason to be thank-ful. And if you can afford to share some of your “bounty” with charitable organiza-

ing strategy, and doing it in as simple a way as possible,” says Andrea Knowles, Marcom4’s director of marketing strategy. “Their growth potential is just enormous – anyone who meets them can see that. So we’re just trying to help them take that next big step.”

“Exactly,” adds Jane Cutter, Marcom4’s director of client development. “PLAN is a great idea that is fast becoming a movement. How far Alex and Brett have come already is fabu-lous.”

That might be putting it lightly.

Recently, Freid accepted one of the nation’s most presti-gious environmental accolades – the David Brower Youth Award for Environmental Conserva-tion, named in honor of the Earth Island Institute Founder and the Sierra Club’s first Director.

And that’s just the start.While on a recent trip to

San Francisco, Chamberlin met with executives from Clif Bar. This just weeks after receiving first place prize for the student track at this year’s University of New Hampshire Social Business Innovation Challenge, keynoted by Nobel Prize-winning econo-mist Muhammad Yunus.

Appalled by the tremen-dous waste he witnessed at the University of New Hampshire,

Freid launched PLAN in 2010. The impetus was simple: Rather than stand idly by while count-less chairs, bins, lamps, and other campus refuse were being tossed into landfills every spring, Freid saw an opportunity to re-sell the dorm staples at a steep discount to returning students the follow-ing fall.

“When the only solution is a dumpster – which is how it was for a long time – every-thing is trash,” explains Fried, who graduated from UNH last May. “The slogan for our orga-nization is ‘Waste Is Solvable’, which is simple and practical for a reason. The problem of waste – on campuses, and in society in general – is one of logistics. So we’re always thinking in terms of what’s the most practical solution available, and I think that helps keep us looking in the right direc-tion.

“The solutions we’re of-fering are practical,” Fried con-tinues. “And they should be ac-ceptable to everyone. So now it’s about empowering people to think about waste as eminently solvable, and that it’s possible for them to directly participate in that solution.”

And the benefits to that so-lution are clear: Since inception, PLAN – which grew out of a pilot program, UNH Trash 2 Treasure – has diverted 100 tons of materi-als from local landfills; generated $50,000 in sales; donated five tons of food and clothing to local

shelters; saved $10,000 in campus disposal costs; and saved an esti-mated $125,000 by families and students.

“These stats are part of what attracted us to PLAN,” Cutter says. “What we all want is to protect the area where we live and work. The fact that Alex and Brett are able to do this while building their entrepreneurial careers is so inspiring – and we want to support that.”

PLAN is now aiming to broaden its reach to more re-gional campuses (they’ve part-nered with 20 to date) by hosting workshops; collaborating with like-minded organizations and businesses; and making sure their core message – of turning frustration over our country’s throw-away mentality into a multi-faceted solution – remains squarely at the forefront.

“The idea of getting on the

floor of a really wonderful busi-ness strategy is really exciting for us,” Knowles exclaims. “These kids are well beyond their years, and they know exactly where they’re going. So we’re working to help them get there.”

Sullivan of Stratham, N.H. “With the storied history of Pease and the Navy Yard, this region has always been greatly

influenced by, and hugely sup-portive of, our military and their families. On behalf of our board members, I extend heart-felt thanks to Shawn Lillie and Al Contois, co-owners of Sea-coast Harley-Davidson, and to the good folks at Kittery Trading Post and Hampton Airfield for their generous contributions.”

Dear Computer Lady,My previous computer was

a Windows XP. A friend of mine encouraged me to download Firefox as my default web browser, because of security issues with IE, and I did, with no problems.

I finally had to replace that computer after several years and got a Windows 7. I’ve been think-ing about browsers and can’t decide whether to go back to Firefox or try Google Chrome.

I read in one of your news-letters that you prefer the Chrome browser. Is this still your prefer-ence? Thank you, Debbie

Dear Debbie,I still use Chrome as my

browser. While the difference between Internet Explorer and Chrome has become less over time (IE has become more like Chrome) it still works best for my needs.

Since you were used to Firefox, it might make more sense for you to download and install the browser that you are used to.

It would not harm your com-puter at all if you installed both Firefox and Chrome, then after trying them both out, you can decide which browser best meets your needs and use that one.

I keep all three browsers in-stalled on my computer so that I can view websites that I am working on in all the browsers. It

is easier to catch potential coding issues that way. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,During one of the strong

thunder storms a couple of weeks ago, my desktop computer went down. The internet modem was fried and I needed a new one.

Is there any way of getting off or cleaning up the information on the computer or taking the hard drive out before giving it up?

Thanks in advance, Joanne

Dear Joanne,Yes, you can either erase the

hard drive, or remove it from the computer before you give it away.

First, did you get all your information off the computer, or do you still have files on there that you would like a copy of? Depend-ing on how badly your hard drive itself was damaged, it is still pos-sible to get your data off the drive, just bring the computer to a local repair shop like mine, and let us take a look at it and give you an estimate.

Hopefully, you have a good backup system in place, and get-ting your data off the hard drive is not an issue.

The hard drive can then be securely erased, I use a program here in my shop that overwrites the drive three times to ensure that your data is completely gone.

If you prefer to just take the drive out and donate the rest of the computer, you can open it up and take out the drive. If you have a tower, the drive is about the size and shape of a ham sandwich, it is held in with 4 screws, two on each side, and is attached to the inside of the computer by a power cable and a data cable.

If your computer is a laptop, the hard drive might be a lot harder to access, and I can’t really tell you exactly where it is located. Some-times, it is under a small door on the back of the laptop, while other times, I have had to practically take apart the entire laptop just to access the hard drive. Again, this is something your local computer shop can help you with. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,In the last few months, the

clock on my computer has been gaining time. I reset it once a week but it picks up three or four min-utes each week. Why is it doing that? Is there a fix for it? My com-puter is a Dell Dimension 2400 with XP 3. Thanks, Cheryl

Dear Cheryl,This is such a common prob-

lem with computers that Microsoft actually has built in a “fix” for it by giving you the option to have your computer automatically synchro-nize with an internet time server.

This function compares the clock on your computer and up-dates it to match the clock on the time server. This ensures that the clock on your computer is accu-rate. If you have this setting turned on, it should update once a week as long as you are connected to the internet at the time.

You can turn on the Internet Time sync with these directions:

1. Click on the time in the lower-right corner of your screen.

2. Click on “Change Date & Time Settings”.

3. Click on the “Internet Time” tab in the dialog box.

4. Click the “Change Set-tings” button.

5. Click to place a check mark in front of, “Synchronize with an Internet Time Server”.

6. Click both “OK” buttons to save your changes and close the dialog boxes. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I really miss Print Shop by

Broderbund. Are there any similar open source programs? Kelly

Dear Kelly,The Print Shop is still being

published, although it looks like a company called Encore Software is now publishing it.

There is, however, an open source desktop publishing pro-gram called, Scribus at: http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus

I have it installed on my com-puter at home, but I have only used it a couple of times.

My preferred desktop pub-lishing program is PagePlus by Serif Software. Elizabeth
