Take steps to prevent
identity theft
Identity theft is big business.
In fact, each year, billions of dollars—that’s billions, with a
“b”—is lost to identity theft,
according to the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC). This cumulative figure may not mean that
much to you, but if you are victimized for a few hundred dollars, it will be an upsetting and
expensive experience. That’s
why you’ll want to defend yourself against identity theft—and
the best time to take action is
before you are victimized.
What can you do to protect
yourself? Here are a few suggestions:
* Secure your Social Security
number. Identity thieves eagerly seek Social Security numbers—so don’t give out yours to
anyone who asks for it. In fact,
as a general rule, be reluctant to
give it out to anyone at all.
Always ask whomever you’re
dealing with if they will accept
another form of identification,
or, at the very least, if they will
take just the last four digits of
your number. And never carry
your Social Security card with
you.
* Shred credit card offers and
bank statements. If you’re not
going to apply for the credit
cards offered to you, shred the
offers. Identity thieves have
been known to rifle through
garbage, fill out credit card
offers and take advantage of
them. At the same time, shred
your bank and brokerage statements—and any other statement containing personal or
financial information.
* Study your credit card bills
and checking account statements. Question any credit card
charge or checking account
activity you don’t recognize as
your own.
* Don’t give out your credit
card number unless you’re initiating a purchase. Most of us do
at least some shopping online
Eco-reserves on Forest Society
Lands at Bretzfelder Park
BETHLEHEM — Ever wondered what an Eco-Reserve is
and what this designation
means for the land? Join the
Society for the Protection of NH
Forests and Forest Ecologist
Peter Ellis to learn about Forest
Society Eco-Reserves throughout the state at Bretzfelder Park
on February 27 at 7 p.m.
Responsible and sustainable
forest management has always
been at the center of the Forest
Society’s land management philosophy. However, in 2001, the
Society recognized that leaving
some portion of its land untouched should be part and parcel of this philosophy and thereby ratified its current EcoReserve designation protocol.
At present, over 6,000 of the
Forest Society’s 43,000 acres
have been designated as EcoReserves. Eco-Reserves often
aim to provide a higher level of
protection to unique ecological
features found within the land,
such as rare plants or plant
communities, uncommon geological features, and critical
wildlife habitat. Forest Society
Land Management Forest Ecologist Peter Ellis will provide a
guided tour of some of these special places and explain the rationale behind their designation.
Donated to the Forest Society
in 1984 by Helen Bretzfelder in
memory of her father Charles,
Bretzfelder Park is managed in
cooperation with the town of
Bethlehem. Facilities include a
classroom, educational trails,
pond and several picnic sites.
Two series of educational programs are held each year, one in
February and the other in
August.
The Bretzfelder Educational
Lecture Series will resume in
August 2008 with its annual
summer series.

calendar of events, please visit

these days. As long as you’re
dealing with a reputable merchant who uses a secure site—
i.e., one that has “https” in the
web address—you should be
reasonably confident that your
credit card information will be
protected. Never give out your
credit card number to people or
businesses who, unsolicited, try
to sell you something over the
phone or Internet.
* “Opt out” of credit card
offers and other mailings. You
can eliminate many of those
“pre-approved” credit card offers
by calling 1-888-5OPTOUT (1888-567-8688) and following the
prompts. You can also greatly
reduce the amount of advertising, catalogues and other mailings you receive by going on the
Direct Marketing Association’s
web site (www.dmachoice.org)
and following the “Remove My
Name From Those Lists” link.
Even after taking these
steps, you could still run into
identity theft. That’s why you
need to be alert for certain
signs, such as the arrival of
unexpected credit cards or
account statements, denials of
credit for no apparent reason, or
calls or letters regarding purchases you didn’t make. If any of
these things happen to you, you
Page 5
may want to place a “fraud
alert” on your credit reports and
review them carefully. To place
a fraud alert, you just need to
contact one of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies: Equifax - 1-800-5256285; Experian - 1-888-3973742; or TransUnion - 1-800680-7289.
It’s unfortunate that identity
theft is part of our modern
world. But by taking the proper
precautions, and by staying
alert, you can help yourself
avoid becoming a statistic.

Pauline Polliwog lived in a
small stream, not very far from
where you live. She was a polliwog with some very big dreams.
She was never happy being a
polliwog. But, before we go any
further with this story, let’s talk
about what a polliwog really is.
Do you already know? Okay,
what is a polliwog?
I didn’t know, so I had to look
it up in a dictionary. Did you
know that you can find out what
just about everything is in a dictionary or encyclopedia? Whenever I find a word and I don’t
know what it means, I always
look it up, because I want to
know. Do you ever look in a dictionary? Good for you!
Back to the story now. A polliwog is a tadpole. You already
knew that, didn’t you? I thought
so!
Pauline Polliwog would swim
up and down her stream, watching all of the animals who lived
out of the water. She would
watch them playing games that
she thought she would never be
able to play. Oh, she wanted so
badly to play with them! But
she couldn’t, because she lived
in the water.
One of her most favorite animals were the frogs. She loved
to watch the frogs, and their
games! They had some games
they played all day long. One
was hopscotch. Have you ever
played hopscotch? The frogs
were very good at this game
because they could jump so well.
Pauline wanted to play hopscotch so much!
But the game the frogs were
so good at, and loved the most,
was leapfrog! I know you have
played leapfrog before, haven’t
you? This is the game that all
frogs are good at! And, why
shouldn’t they be? After all, they
are frogs?
Pauline would watch and
watch the frogs playing, wishing
that she could play with them.
She even climbed out of the
water one day so she could try to
play leapfrog. But she had to
jump back into the water quickly, because tadpoles cannot live
out of the water! Poor little
Pauline! She thought that she
would never get to play any of
the games the frogs played. But,
you and I know better, don’t we?
Do you know what happens
to a tadpole after they grow up?
Did you know that they always
turn into frogs? I knew that a
tadpole turns into a frog, but, I
wasn’t sure that a polliwog did!
Until I found out in a book,
called the --------?
Now, we know that Pauline
will someday turn into a frog.
But, let’s not tell her yet. Let’s
wait until she grows up. Can
you keep a secret? I will! Let’s
let her be a tadpole or polliwog
just a little bit longer!Pauline
wanted to be able to climb trees
and jump from branch to
branch, as she had seen the tree
frogs do so many times! She
wanted to be able to jump along
the ground and see all of the little animals and visit with them.
She wanted so many things that
she could not have while she

• Ryan Newman snapped an
81-race losing streak Sunday at
the 50th running of the Daytona
500 and gave Roger Penske, the
most successful owner in openwheel history with 14 wins in
the Indianapolis 500, his first
victory in the “Great American
Race,” NASCAR’s showcase
event. NASCAR needed a
Cinderella story to kick off the
2008 season and Newman needed to step up in 2008 to keep his
job and the Penske 1-2 finish
with teammate Kurt Busch
pushing the No. 12 Dodge by
race leader Tony Stewart on the
final lap filled both bills. It was
Newman’s first win since New
Hampshire in 2005 and earmarked a strong day for the
Dodge camp, placing six Mopars
in the top eight. The race, one of
the most competitive in Daytona
history, boasted 42 lead changes
at the start/finish line (with
sometimes 2-3-4 lead changes in
between), went right down to
the wire. Any one of 15 to 20
drivers could have won the
event when the green flag
waved for the final three-lap
showdown. Jeff Burton was the
leader on a restart and ended up
13th and Juan Pablo Montoya
was second on a late race restart
and ended up out of the top 20.
Rounding out the top-five
behind Newman, Kurt Busch
and Stewart was the younger
Busch (Shrub) and Reed
Sorenson.
• Camping World 300 polesitter Tony Stewart repelled
strong challenges from Kyle
Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
to win Saturday’s Nationwide
Series event at Daytona
International Speedway. Stewart surged to the lead on Lap
117 of 120 and stayed there as
the rest of the field diced for
position behind him. Busch,
Stewart’s teammate, blocked
Earnhardt’s last ditch effort to
move to the front and all but
assured the win for Stewart,
who crossed the line .259 seconds ahead of Busch, with
Earnhardt .412 seconds back.
The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas
dominated the action, with
Busch leading 47 laps and
Stewart 46 on the 2.5-mile
Superspeedway. The race ran
caution-free until lap 55, but the
big one came on Lap 111 when a
multi-car crash triggered by
Brad Keselowski in Turn 4
brought out the caution, causing
damage to seven cars. “We were
battling the balance of the car,
but this thing was so fast down
the straightaway,” Stewart said
of the No. 20 Toyota. “Once we
got up front, it actually helped
Great Northwoods Journal
my car turn.”
• Todd Bodine used a perfectly timed entrance on pit road to
pass leader Erik Darnell on a
green flag pit stop on Lap 85
necessitated by the new 17.75gallon fuel cell instead of the 22
gallon used in the past. Bodine
held off a hard-charging Kurt
Busch and Johnny Benson during a nine-lap run to the finish
to win the Chevy Silverado 250
Craftsman Truck Series race
Friday night at Daytona
International Speedway. The
2006 series champion picked up
his 13th career win and first at
Daytona in the 2008 season
opener. “I tell you, this is my
20th year coming to the
Speedway—three as a crew
member and 17 as a driver,’ said
Bodine. “Seventeen years and
we finally got there.” The race
was marred by an 11-truck pileup on lap 19 that started with
contact between the trucks of
Kyle Busch and last year’s
series runner-up, Mike Skinner.
The wreck ignited the Ford of
P.J. Jones that left him sliding
along the backstretch engulfed
in flames. Jones escaped from
the burning truck without serious injury but with his fire suit
singed and tattered.
• Dale Earnhardt Jr. made it
two for two Thursday winning
the first Gatorade Duel 150
qualifying race at Daytona
International
Speedway.
Earnhardt’s win continued his
Daytona “happy time’ since the
series most popular driver started his season with new car
owner Rick Hendrick last
Saturday night by winning the
Bud Shootout. Earnhardt was
one happy dude, but the happiest guy on the racetrack had to
be Kenny Wallace and rightly
so. Wallace, in a car fielded for
one race by the single car team
of Joe Nemechek, Furniture
Row Racing, raced his way into
the “Great American Race,”
with a strong eighth place finish. Seven cars, including the
Daytona 500 pole winner
Jimmie Johnson, started the
race from the rear after engine
problems in practice forced an
engine change for Chevrolet and
Toyota teams. “That was fun,”
said Earnhardt. “These cars are
a handful, but we’ll sort that all
out. It reminded me of the old
days with the cars slipping and
sliding around.” For those of us
who have been around the sport
a while, Dale Earnhardt Jr.
talking about the “old days”
really makes you jam on the
brakes and look back in the
rearview mirror.
• Jeff Gordon pushed Denny
Hamlin past Hamlin’s teammate Tony Stewart with one lap
to go and Hamlin hung on to
post a win in the second
Gatorade 150 qualifying race on
Thursday. Stewart held on to
give Joe Gibbs Toyota team a
one-two finish. But the real
story of the race had to be pole
sitter Michael Waltrip who suddenly dropped out of the lead of
the race with a handful of laps
remaining to drop back and
push teammate Dale Jarrett to
the front of the lead pack and a
qualifying position. Jarrett, a
three-time Daytona champion
running in his last Daytona 500
stole the show in a green-whitecheckered finish with just about
every driver on the track offering to help him clinch up one of
the two spots available to drivers out of the top 35 in points
from last year. Jarrett’s ninth
place finish made him the first
of seven go or go home drivers to
grab the two positions. Veteran
John Andretti sped past David
Reutimann on the last lap to
grab the other spot. Reutimann
joined Joe Nemechek from the
first Dual as one of two drivers
earning spots by falling back on
qualifying time in Sunday’s
50th Anniversary of the race.
Hamlin’s win was the first for
Toyota, in a NASCAR Sprint
Cup event. Toyota joined the circuit in 2007.
• Garage Garble •
• Concern was expressed all
week in the garage that several
teams do not have sponsorship
to last the entire season, but
depending on whom you talk to,
this is a critical situation. The
under-funded teams are working hard to secure season long
funding. NASCAR wants to
keep media focus on the track,
but teams falling out of the
series
due
to
lack
of
funding…will be big-big news.
And the big news hit on Sunday
when
Canadian
Jacques
Villeneuve announced that he
was putting his Sprint Cup
career in the Bill Davis Racing
No. 27 Toyota on hold due to
lack of sponsorship. Villeneuve
had expressed his happiness
and sense of belonging last week
in the premier stock car family.
“It’s like a big family, and everyone’s playing together, basically,” said the open wheel star. “In
the past, you’re your own man,
everyone’s trying to make it difficult for you. And if you survive
it, good for you, but you just
make it difficult for everyone
else. But here it’s the other way
around, at the end of the day
everyone is quite helpful.

through the Busch2/ Stewart
incident; no penalties, no fines.
The drivers ended up with a sixrace probation for “on track”
actions from the “Budweiser
Shootout” practice incident. The
alleged punch in the NASCAR
trailer is secret; the probation is
secret because a driver has committed a worse offense than the
one that put him on probation.
The next level is super secret
probation followed by extra
super secret probation; the
terms of which are only known
by Busch2 and T Tony. Kurt
Busch has been voted by his
peers to be most likely to get
punched and has lived up to
their expectations. Ask Jimmy
Spencer. NASCAR is doing its
best to lose what credibility it
has left in the major sports
world. NASCAR has stated earlier that it wanted racing to
return to its roots, but the first
time the roots spread out, they
hide it in their trailer. Race-OGram stated it best: “NASCAR
is more Mickey Mouse than
Disney World.”
• Who are These Guys •
• An inside look at
NASCAR’s foreign and openwheel driver invasion: Sam
Hornish Jr. like many successful drivers, started racing in gokarts. The Defiance, Ohio driver
made his debut at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway in 2000 and set
a new record for young race winners by taking an Indy car victory at age 21 and tied another
one by winning the Indy Car
Championship the following
year. He added another title in
2002. His third title came in
2006 on the heels of a first-ever
last lap pass to win the prestigious Indianapolis 500. Hornish
will compete full time in the
Sprint Cup Series for Penske
Racing in the Mobile 1 Dodge
No. 77 after a rocky start in
2007, showing up for eight Cup
races but only qualifying for
two. He finished 30th at
Phoenix and 37th in the 2007
season finale at Homestead.

As Town Meeting day draws
nearer, and school budgets are
being finalized, voters are looking at what exactly is included
in the various warrant articles.
And so they should.
Supervisory Administrative
Union #36 is no exception.
On January 30th, Dr. Lou
Lafasciano, Superintendent of
Schools of SAU #36, met with
several concerned parents at a
meeting at the Catholic Church
hall in Lancaster to answer
some questions regarding some
changes that could possibly be
made within the White
Mountains Regional School
District.
One of those changes causing
concern is that of possibly combining the fifth and sixth
grades. Dr. Lafasciano stressed
that the concept has not been
carved in stone. He was pleased
that community members cared
and welcomed parental participation.
He said he understood their
concerns. He said that the students will not be all tossed
together. The intent is not to
disrupt things, but to get ideas
on student needs. The final goal
of all studies concerning the five
and six combo is to increase
instructional strategy. The
whole idea is still in discussion.

questions from parents at a meeting held in January in
Lancaster.

Parents expressed concerns
about high-end students; for
example, being challenged
enough in a 5/6 combined environment.
That pre-kindergarten and
full day kindergarten classes
could be offered on a districtwide basis was a concern. The
idea seems to be to have kids in
school as much as possible to
prepare them for first grade.
These ideas are still in the discussion stages.
Angela Kenison of Lancaster
said she was concerned by the
numbers. With 30 students in
these classes presently, she
