| Fire Danger Return to index of stories... |
Tonight there's a high fire danger in New Hampshire. The state's low water table is the reason the state is being categorized as class four for fire danger. Class five is the most dangerous. More than 80 communities have restricted open burning because of the dryness, which makes fires easier to start but harder to put out. Officials doubt the conditions will improve until the state gets a slow, steady soaking rain. |

Music has been a hot topic this week as Manchester grappled with the decision to allow a controversial concert to be held in Singer Park. Noise levels were a key concern there and it seems noise is a concern in Gilford as well. Officials at the Meadowbrook Pavilion say a roof will help put the lid on noise from their concerts. They are scheduled to begin work on the roof next month, after this summer's concert series ends. |

| Back to College Return to index of stories... |
For Doctor Joan Leitzel - President of the University of New Hampshire - academics are a critical part of a student's college experience. But she knows that higher education can prove to be challenging - especially for new students, for whom she has the following advice. Dr. Leila Moore is UNH's Vice President for Student Affairs. She says that reflecting on past choices and staying focused on the future helps make for a productive year. Dr. Moore says that in a college community, it is important that each student is not just responsible for their own safety, but also for the well-being of their peers. A dialogue between parents and their son or daughter is one way to help ensure that students have a safe year. In addition to being vigilant about their personal safety, students are also advised to keep a close eye on their health. Germs and diseases can be easily spread in the close quarters of a college community. Kevin Charles is Director of UNH Health Services. And while social challenges and educational opportunities may change with time,….students are reminded that the importance of common-sense behavior and dedication to academics remains constant. For New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Jack Gray. |

hrwap -- The government says a snafu that affected the processing of federal tax returns from residents from several states, including New Hampshire, is bigger than first thought. The Senate Finance Committee says at least 40-thousand federal tax returns and payments involving 810--million dollars were either lost or destroyed at a Pittsburgh processing facility. Previously, officials thought only 18-hundred returns and payments were affected. The documents were sent by taxpayers in New England and parts of New York this year to a Pittsburgh lockbox run by Mellon Bank under a contract with the federal government. It remains a mystery exactly what happened to the missing returns and payments. The I-R-S is asking affected taxpayers to call the agency. |
| Forgotten Money Return to index of stories... |
avbho -- You may not have won the Powerball, but there may be money waiting for you in Concord. State Treasurer Georgie Thomas says her Abandoned Property Division has 30 million dollars in lost or forgotten savings and checking accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, insurance payments, payroll checks, utility deposits and other sources. Last year, the state returned nearly 50-thousand dollars to New Hampshire residents. Thomas says her office wants to reunite people with their money and said this year it again will have a booth at the Hopkinton Fair where people can do a free name search to look for money. The fair runs from Thursday through Monday. |

A state agency that supports affordable housing and economic development has received requests for more than 15--million dollars for projects throughout New Hampshire. The Community Development Finance Authority says it has received 24 preliminary applications for funding. The agency's board of directors will decide in October which of the projects will be invited to submit formal applications. By law, the agency is restricted to providing support to nonprofit community development organizations, cooperatives and certain municipal entities. Some of the projects for which money has been requested includes a proposed adult medical daycare center in Strafford County and a proposed training program in tourism and outdoor recreation in the North Country. |
| Drought Foliage Return to index of stories... |
There is just a hint of fall in the air which means foliage season is right around the corner. Forestry experts say the lack of rain this summer won't translate into a lack of fall foliage colors. Bob Edmonds, of U-N-H Cooperative Extension Service, says New Hampshire's foliage is "brilliant and resilient." He said forests are more susceptible to long-term climatic changes, rather than short weather patterns. For an in depth look at our changing climate tune in to Outlook on Tuesday when we'll sit down with State Climatologist Barry Keim. |
