Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of today's news. |
| West Nile Return to index of stories... |
State health officials say two more dead birds have tested positive with the West Nile virus. Two blue jays found in Hampstead and Hudson were infected with the disease. Two other infected birds were found in Salem and Rollinsford last week. West Nile virus can be transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Officials say no infected insects have been found in the state so far. However, they recommend everyone try to avoid being bitten, and clean up standing water where mosquitoes can breed. |
| Shark Caught Return to index of stories... |
Sharks have been in the news a lot lately. And now New Englanders have a shark of their own to talk about. Yesterday - an 832 pound maco was caught by two fishermen about 19 miles off the New Hampshire Coast. But experts say swimmers shouldn't worry. A Florida group called the International Shark Attack File says there's never been a confirmed shark attack in Maine or New Hampshire. The group says Massachusetts has had three fatal shark attacks - but the last one was in 1936. |
| Weirs E-Coli Return to index of stories... |
Beachgoers can swim safely at Weirs Beach once again. A week after state environmental officials warned of high levels of E.coli bacteria in the water, those levels have subsided. Hot weather, lots of people, and poor water circulation caused the high levels. E.coli bacteria live in the digestive tract of humans and other animals, and actually aid digestion. Its presence can be indicator of more serious contamination putting people at risk of contracting gastroenteritis and other illnesses. |
| Sunnycrest Return to index of stories... |
The same group working to save over 100 thousand acres of land in Northern New Hampshire celebrated the completion of a similar project today at the Sunny Crest Orchard in Concord. Apple Pie was split up among the politicians, farmers, grass roots activists, and representatives from The Trust for Public Land who made the effort to save the 155 acre Orchard a reality. Debbie Butler from the 'Friends of the Orchard Campaign' talked about the grass roots support that it took to make the process a success. Butler and Senator Judd Gregg also explained the how the orchard project and the proposed north country project differ in scale. |

| Profitable Book Return to index of stories... |
A book written by U N H professor Dennis Meadows has made one Texas man 900 million dollars. The book - Beyond the Limits - predicts over-population and depleted resouces which will destory society within decades. Investor Richard Rainwater told Fortune magazine he used that information convinced him to invest $300 million dollars in oil and natural gas-rich properties. Today those properties have quadrupled in value. Meadows told a reporter for Foster's Daily Democrat he would like to meet Rainwater. Perhaps, he said, the investor could contribute "a small fraction" of his profits to Meadows' programs at UNH. |
