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.

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. For more information, please check the website www.nhmarathon.com.

Collecting canned goods for the Bristol Community Services Food Pantry. 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.
