While I was chaperoning my daughter's Scout Troop at summer camp in July, I took The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe with me to revisit the classic C.S. Lewis tale with adult eyes. It was fun. I fully appreciate now why I loved this story so much growing up. I also can appreciate with even more clarity why I loathed the character of Edmund so much. He's the younger brother and family traitor who sells out his siblings to the White Witch, setting into motion a series of events that results in the death of Aslan, “King of Beasts”.Most readers of this book (or fans of the movies) will dislike Edmund. Perhaps there is a legion of younger brothers out there who see themselves in Edmund and hate Peter instead. That seems likely, now that I think about it.He is awful though. Edmund bullies his younger sister (Lucy) for her belief in Narnia, learns of it himself, and then lies again to make Lucy look foolish. All the while he is conspiring with the White Witch to bring her his siblings and be anointed “king” of Narnia. The Turkish Delight candies the Witch feeds him do legitimately skew his judgment, something the book goes to great lengths to make clear. Edmund is a rotten boy but he is a victim of deceit and malicious spiritual intoxication.“When faced with people's bad behavior, turn around and ask when you have acted like that. When you saw money as a good, or pleasure, or social position — Your anger will subside as soon as you recognize that they acted under compulsion. What else could they do?”- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations This is a public episode.

Welcome to the fifth installment of Hanover Happenings! This is your Town Manager here with your November recap. Just a note: Going forward, I'm going to post the episodes somewhat differently. Instead of posting the updates and spotlight interviews together, I'm going to post them separately so you can tune into what you're most interested in. So each month, we'll have 2-3 shorter episodes posted, rather than one long one. The topics we covered in this update are: Topics from Selectboard meetings in November: Some routine business Friends of Oak Hill update Tax rate discussion Election day Several appointments Several donations And the Town Manager's monthly report which includes more information on: A number of hiring and HR issues Finance Director and budget process Traffic safety issues working group Downtown Hanover working group Sustainability update NHMA conference And we have two great spotlights this month: The first is with Abe Healy, a Hanover High School student who belongs to Scout Troop 45. For his eagle project, Abe designed and placed some American Flag retirement/dropoff points at three locations around town, where you can properly dispose of a damaged or old flag. I sit down with Abe to talk about why he was inspired for that project, and of course, we end up talking about science-fiction. Thanks Abe and the Scouts! Our next spotlight is the first of a multi-part series recapping and discussing our elections. This first is a conversation with: Town Clerk Bobbie Hitchcock Town Moderator Jeremy Eggleton Supervisor of the Checklist Allison Gorman Ballot Clerk Bill Brown Ballot Clerk Sandy Joslin We talk about what it takes to make a safe, accurate election actually happen in Hanover, how you accurately count and record thousands of ballots (not the way you might think), the importance of accurate record keeping and building trust in our elections, and some memorable moments they had. This spotlight is in part to thank the over 80 individuals, almost all of whom are volunteer, who directly work on the election, plus the dozens more who support it. Thank you all for doing what you do, ensuring one of the most important and sacred components to our society can happen in a trusted fashion.

Bryan DeLay was 12 when he took his first backpacking trip, with his Scout Troop, in the mountains of Tennessee; he was smitten. But it wasn't until he was 35 and realizing there had to be more to life than developing shopping centers that he got into backpacking big time. Over the next 30 some years the Knoxville resident estimates he's spent 75 to 100 nights a year in a tent, bringing his number of nights on the trail to around 1,600, and the number of states he's backpacked in to 25. Despite taking a big trip out West every August, Bryan, a native of Tennessee, still prefers backpacking in his backyard, the Southeastern United States.In 2008, Bryan started documenting his trips on YouTube, as Backpacking with Bryan Delay. Today, we talk with Bryan about his adventures and why he prefers the Southeast backpacking experience.Check out Bryan's videos on his YouTube Channel, Backpacking with Bryan DeLay, here.In the NewsFor more on the Tree Cookie celebration Saturday, Oct. 30, at Lamar Alexander Rocky Fork State Park in Tennessee, go here.

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we are busting an episode out of the vault. We've had a hectic week and are taking the weekend to enjoy family time and the outdoors with our Scout Troop. There will be a fishing derby, hiking, bottle rocket craft, and tent camping! Even though this episode is a replay, the conversation is a great one. We talk about the different ways you can learn and extend learning outside of the home. One of the main focuses is learning in nature and how you can add nature days to your home education in a simple way. So grab a seat by the fire as you travel to our home in Ohio and discuss how learning does not just take place in 'the classroom'.If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show Notes1) Cleveland Metroparks - https://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/2) Cleveland Museum of Natural History Homeschool Programs - https://www.cmnh.org/learn/homeschool3) Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Homeschool Program  - https://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/zoo/learn/educational-programs/educational-opportunities/homeschool-programs4) Cleveland Museum of Art - https://www.clevelandart.org/5) Handbook of Nature Study by  Anna Botsford Comstock -  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0801493846/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=nromeo-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0801493846&linkId=b2e901b24381f35b5a596f7fb7a7389b6) Exploring Nature with Children - https://raisinglittleshoots.com/buy-exploring-nature-with-children/

The right sleeping bag will make — or break — a camping experience. Podcast Topics Ken and Colin discuss the all-important sleeping bag. Even more than the extra socks that Ken never shuts up about, having the right sleeping bag for a camp will make or break the whole camping experience; a sleeping bag that isn't well-cared-for, or which isn't appropriate for the weather you'll be camping in, will make for miserable sleeping...which will make for a miserable camp. Topics covered include: The importance of a sleeping pad (air mattress or foamie) The different designs of sleeping bag (rectangular, barrel, and mummy) Temperature ratings of sleeping bags (don't take a 7 C bag out in -10 C weather, and don't take a -18 C bag out in +20 C weather) Sleeping bag liners (both to improve temperature rating, and to help keep the bag clean) Care and storage of sleeping bags And more! Shout-Outs Scouter Sarah and Scouter Chris both commented on a photo Ken posted to the Facebook page of his daughter's Scout Troop's ember-cooked food; evidently, Scouter Chris' group had done something similar a weekend prior. And hey...it was Colin's birthday recently; congratulations to him!

A fun method of campfire cooking that's easy to try...but tricky to get right. Podcast Topics Ken and Colin discuss a particular sort of campfire cooking: placing foil-wrapped food directly on the embers after the fire has died down some. It's an easy concept to grasp: you wrap your food up in foil, wait for the fire to burn down so that there's a nice bed of hot coals, and the place the food directly on the embers for however long it takes to cook through (typically, turning it once). Of course, each step in the process presents certain challenges, and it's easy to screw up along the way. For best results, you'll likely want to let the fire burn for at least an hour, and you'll want to make it a good-sized fire to start; the goal is to have a large bed of embers across almost the entire bottom of whatever fire pit you're using. It's also important to wrap your food in at least a couple layers of foil, not just one; this creates a kind of double-boiler effect that results in more even heating...and less burning. Leaving a bit of space — not packing the foil too tightly around your food — is also key. And finally, if you're looking for recipe ideas, the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles have a great cookbook available that is just brimming with ideas. Shout-Outs We've got a couple quick shout-outs to Scouters Sarah and Chris, who commented on a photo Ken posted to the Facebook page of the foil-wrapped cooking his daughter's Scout Troop did just before this episode was recorded. It would seem that Scouter Chris' Group also did some campfire cooking recently! And, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

Our drinking water comes from the Oldman River, but where does this river start? The tributaries that feed a river are collectively called headwaters, the source or ‘birthplace' of our river. Located along the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains, the headwaters of the Oldman River flow from an increasingly busy landscape - one that includes mining, logging, grazing, and recreation. This unique area offers important habitat for threatened species, as well as ecological services beyond providing most of the water used by over 210,000 people living, working, and playing in our watershed. In response to public concern, the Oldman Watershed Council (OWC) has made the headwaters a priority through education and restoration. Their unique approach is based on social science methodologies and involves talking (and listening!) to people through face-to-face conversations; boots-on-the-ground events to restore streambanks together with partners and volunteers; testing strategies like signs and pledges to change behaviour; and ultimately, engaging hearts, heads, and hands. Since 2015, OWC has conducted 283 surveys, talked to more than 5,600 people, and helped plant over 4,300 willows and trees. The speaker will describe these local, grassroots efforts aimed at improving conditions in our headwaters, and will discuss some actions we can all take to help care for this special place. Speaker: Sofie Forsström Sofie Forsström is the Education Program Manager for the Oldman Watershed Council. Since 2015, Sofie has been coordinating education and restoration activities in the headwaters and beyond in order to promote watershed literacy and cultivate a strong sense of place. Sofie earned a Master of Science in Applied Ecology from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies from U of A, Augustana Campus.

By Bruce Oliver, Luxury Travel Adviser As a youth, I listened to my elders say, over and over, that the one thing they wish they had done more often was take longer vacations when they had their young families. Seldom did someone say I wish I had worked more. Couples who wait until retirement to travel may have lost their opportunity to travel while they were together or in good health. Now, one woman said, he’s passed and it’s too late. Another said, “When we were young, we thought that we’d be healthy forever. But now I must go for dialysis and it’s too late! (Not really, many cruise lines can accommodate people on dialysis.) I love everything about travel. Early in life I always made time to go somewhere new. Maybe it was because I belonged to a Scout Troop that always took us on vacations to Washington, D.C., World’s Fairs in Montreal and New York City or destinations that the average boy would never visit. As an Eagle Scout, I was awarded a 30-day bus trip across the United States to hike for twelve days at Philmont National Boy Scout Reservation in Cimarron, NM. Today, I plan and use my vacations because I tend to be a workaholic. I plan a two-week vacation at least once per year and each quarter I have weekend trips to look forward to. This is especially important when things get difficult. Life is a sine wave with ups and downs. When the down periods come, I always say, but I’m going on a cruise in a few weeks. Knowing this helps me cope with the downs and I am more productive. As a matter of fact, productivity experts have discovered that the longer it is between vacations: “Fatigue sets in, rigidity applies, and all creativity and innovation are lost — both of which need time away for other activities to increase the probability of new ideas,” said Lotte Bailyn, an MIT researcher and author of the book “Breaking the Mold: Redesigning Work for Productive and Satisfying Lives. (Bailyn, 2006)” “Unhealthy overwork costs company’s money for healthcare and creates stressful and unrewarding lives, both of which detract from the good work they are supposed to be furthering.” Everything that I’ve read says the same thing. The more and longer vacations that you take, the more productive you will be when you get back to work. I feel best coming back from a two-week vacation (I don’t mean visiting relatives to paint their house either.) It usually takes me 3-4 days to begin to relax and the balance of the vacation is full of rest and relaxation. I’ve gotten to the point that the only time I say I’m on vacation is when I leave the country and get away from the phone which I answer 24/7 and my normal regiment. According to Ellen Galinsky, President of Families and Work Institute, the longer your vacation, the less stress you’ll feel. People’s stress levels dropped significantly when they took over 6-days and more as they approached 13 or more consecutive days away from work and their regular routine life. Families participating in these vacations tend to be less depressed and form tighter bonds with other family members (Ellen Galinski, 2014). It’s true, my siblings and I often talk about the time we spent camping each summer at Lake Ossipee in New Hampshire or at Clinton Beach in Connecticut. Galinski says: “Knowing that skipping vacation stifles creativity, creates health problems, leads to stress, depression, and less-than-ideal home lives, it seems as if companies would make vacation enforcement a priority. But with a few exceptions, the experts say that is not happening.

A Den Chief is a youth position in a Troop that is helping the Den Leader in a Cub Scout Pack. Often this position is dismissed as unimportant and trivial. However, it’s one of the most important in the life of a Scout Troop and a Cub Scout Den. ScouterStan explores this little know youth position and how important it is. The new Den Chief training is outlined in 3 modules; 1. The Den Chief’s role and understanding Cub Scouts 2. The Den Meeting 3. How to lead activities The Den Leader and the Den Chief Scout should attend this training together. Techanaly the Den Chief can be of any rank, but only First Class Scout or higher can count their service for rank advancement. Scoutmasters should only select responsible scouts for this position. As the Den Leader doesn’t need an older Cub Scout… They need a real youth leader. Scoutmasters should also consider the many commitments on this youth leader. Troop meetings ever week, Den meeting 3 times a month and Pack meeting or Pack activity once a month. Pluss Troop camping and OA commitments and more… A Den Chief is a natural recruiter for your Troop. Encourage the Den Chief to work in the older Den’s and have them cross over into the Troop. Then the former Den Chief can become a Troop Guide to the first year patrol.

Charlotte City Councilmen Tariq Bokhari and Larken Egleston are joined by Ron Peterson, the leader of Scout Troop 3, as they answer the scout’s questions that will get them a badge. They also discuss the upcoming noise ordinance vote, zoning, and the Checkers who have made the Calder Cup.

Tonight's first guest is Travis Nevels.  Not long ago, Travis thought Sasquatch only existed in some people's minds.  He never would have believed in Dogman either.  That is, until he and his friend encountered one, in the woods, behind his home.   Our second guest, for tonight's show had a very unnerving experience, while on a camping trip, with a Scout Troop, he works with.  Until he shared his story with me, I had never heard of an incident of this kind. We hope you'll tune in for tonight's show!
