Minot-Sleeper Library
Stephanie Harzewski, UNH Professor
November 13th from 6:30-8:00pm
If you love the writing of Jane Austen, then you will love Professor
Harzewski's fun lecture called "Austenmania." This talk and
PowerPoint presentation survey the ways in which Jane Austen has
been commodified over the past fifteen years, filtering into national
currency, video games, housewares, and jewelry. Harzewski
explores the 'why' behind the popularity of this Regency era
novelist and how examining the fetishization of Austen
approximately two hundred years after her death offers clues not
only into reading choices, but also larger aspects of contemporary
society.

The 22nd season of the NH Marathon concluded with a special
reception on Sunday, November 2nd. Volunteers and sponsors
gathered to celebrate another successful Marathon year. The race this
year saw a record 756 participants finish in the Marathon, Half
Marathon, 10k, Health Walk & Kids Race combined.
Race Director Dan MacLean welcomed the group by thanking
everyone for helping with the event. Thanks were given to the many
volunteers, sponsors, and hospitality sites for this year’s Marathon.
And special thanks and recognition was given to Anthem Blue Cross
Blue Shield who was the title sponsor of the race again this year.
Thanks to The Inn on Newfound Lake as well as they have been a
continuing sponsor of the Marathon and hosted the celebration.
The reception opened with recognition given to a few key
organizations that helped with the race, each receiving small donations
for their efforts: NACA (Newfound Area Chiefs Assoc.) for the police
officers and EMTs from the area towns – Chief Travis Austin of
Hebron PD was on hand to accept the donation; CERT (Community
Emergency Response Team) for their assistance with parking and road
safety – Wendell Beaty was on hand to accept this donation. A
donation will also be made to the NRHS (Newfound Regional High
School) Band program for playing music at the start including the
National Anthem.
The second part of the reception was the much-anticipated presentation
of proceeds to local youth programs. When the present Marathon
Committee took over in 2000, a total of $1000 went to three area youth
programs: The Mathew Program, Circle Program, and Tapply
Thompson Community Center. This total has continued to grow over
the years and this year the NH Marathon was proud to present $11,000
to each program, for a total of $33,000!! Over the past 22 years, the
NH Marathon has proudly awarded $197,250 to community
organizations.

Proper Disposal of Batteries
To safely dispose of batteries with lithium or batteries of
greater than 9 volts, put clear packing, masking or electrical
tape on the batteries’ terminals or sandwich the batteries
between two layers of tape (e.g. flat button cells). These
batteries should be placed in a container separate from other
batteries that don’t require being taped.
Residents are asked to tape lithium-based batteries as well as
batteries of greater than 9 volts so they don’t cause a fire
while being transported to a recycling center. Most
commonly used batteries – A, AAA, C, D, 6-volt and 9-volt
– don’t need to be taped unless their packaging identifies
them as lithium-based. Lithium-based batteries are most
commonly found in cell phones, digital cameras and laptops.
Also, hearing aids, watches and keyless remotes typically
involve button cells, containing lithium. Similarly, cordless
power tools use battery packs that are greater than 9 volts
and/or lithium-based.
