Conservation Commission Community Education event
Introduction to mapping utilizing the Town's online mapping system and the State's Granit online mapping system. We'd pick a town parcel or two to use as a demonstration on the big screen, picking a feature or two, and maybe make a quick map then if folks wanted to bring their laptop they could look at their parcel and ask questions about how to use the mapping features.
Tuesday, February 18th at 6:30 pm at PRML with a snow date of the 25th.
Drop-in board games - 2 pm at the Meriden Library
Learn the basics of using a computer, browsing the Internet, managing your e-mail, cloud storage, and more!
Drop-in any time between 3:00pm and 4:30 pm on Thursdays for a free tech help session.

Greg Stott - filmmaker
The Last Ice is a short documentary by NH science teacher Greg Stott and Vermont filmmaker Nick Natale. Stott received the Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical Award from the NH Charitable Foundation in 2023. He used this time to produce this film. The film focuses on the last Ice Age and its effect on the Connecticut River Valley. Scientists investigate our modern landscape for clues about the past climate that enveloped our area. The film also looks at the life of Edward Hitchcock, a geologist and theologian whom the lake is named after. The film features local landmarks from the Upper Valley to the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts.
I have been teaching since 1997, with the last 22 years teaching Earth science to 8th grade students in New Hampshire. I believe it is important to learn about your place on this planet, wherever you are. Glacial lakes formed all over New England at the end of the last Ice Age, and I happen to live where one was formed. As I drive around my area, it is easy to see the effects of the Glacial Lake Hitchcock, and it is fascinating to me. I hope to inspire others to look closely at their own areas, for there is always something to learn about.

We're all getting older. As life expectancy continues to increase, we must work toward a new image of aging - one that includes adaptive, productive, vital years full of love, laughter, and intimacy. In this talk, we'll explore how the 'secrets' to aging gracefully exist within the routines of daily life, and how by understanding the biology of being human, we can implement best practices of being healthy, which is the key in determining whether we just add years to our life or we add life to those years.
Jackson Penfield-Cyr is the owner and clinician at Upper Valley Integration Therapy in Hanover, NH. He received his BA in Government and Sociology in 2012 from St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. In his studies and following career, he became fascinated with how systems work. His focus shifted from social systems to biological systems due to a personal health crisis, involving Chronic Lyme Disease and the impacts of early childhood trauma. In his search for healing, he was inspired to study sensorimotor behavioral therapy and clinical neurobiology.
Today, he is one of the few licensed Structural Integrators in the state of New Hampshire, with certifications in Rolfing® Structural Integration, DermoNeuroModulation, Autoimmune Protocol Coaching, Empowered Relief, and Yoga Instruction. Jackson is a specialist in manual and movement therapy, with expertise on the biomechanics of posture, the neurophysiology of pain and trauma, and the science of peak performance - and with a unique perspective on aging, given his role as a caregiver for his grandparents for many years.
