Everyday Inventors and the Future Value of the NH TokenBy Shay Zeller on Thursday, December 29, 2005.A new book profiles amateur inventors from around the country. We'll find out about the people who really are building better mousetraps and all kinds of strange things, like motorized walking tables and shirts made out of computer fans. Shay's guest is Bob Parks, author of Makers: All Kinds of People Making Amazing Things In Their Backyard, Basement or Garage. The book is published by the people at Make Magazine. We'll also check in with coin expert David Bowers to find out if the state's highway tokens are worth more dead than alive. The state toll collectors will stop accepting the special coins as of January 1st to make way for the new E-Z Pass system. That could make the tokens attractive in the eye of collectors, but maybe not enough to gain much value. David Bowers is numismatic director at American Numismatic Rarities in Wolfeboro. listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).
Organic Dairies not as Successful as ThoughtBy Fred Bever on Thursday, December 29, 2005.A shortage of organic milk in the Northeast last summer seemed to suggest that consumer demand had oustripped production, and that organic farmers were giving conventional dairies a run for their money. But a study released last month shows that even though they may get a premium for their milk, organic farmers in Maine and Vermont may be struggling. Last year organic dairies in those two states lost money while conventional farms turned a profit. MPBN's Fred Bever reports. listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).

Granite State Stories: "Jack and other New Poems" (REBROADCAST)By Laura Knoy on Thursday, December 29, 2005.Although a Philadelphia native, Maxine Kumin has spent most of her life in New England and since 1976, on a horse farm in Warner, New Hampshire. Many of Kumin's essays and poems reflect on New Hampshire's ever-changing landscape... rugged mountains and seashores, lakes and farmlands… the vibrancy of autumn colors and the nuances of mud season. She also writes about our relation to our land… tapping maple syrup, foraging for mushrooms and the animals who share our land with us, from black flies to black bears. Today in our final installment of our series Granite State Stories we explore our relationship to our land though the words of Maxine Kumin, and through the pages of her newest book of poetry and an older book of essays. Laura's guests are Maxine Kumin and David Watters. *This show originally broadcast on 9/23/05* listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).
