Last week was town meeting week here in New Hampshire. Some 170 so called "traditional town meeting" towns made decisions about everything from new fire trucks to who the next selectmen will be. And they did it by sitting down together and deliberating on the issues, and then voting on them - often times with a voice vote. Chip Neal takes us to one of those town meetings to see how this historic form of government is doing in these modern times. |

town meeting - we profiled Madbury's traditional town meeting using it as a lens to look at the history and current health of the traditional town meeting. Prof. Gere Daniell of Dartmouth explained the history of town meetings from their beginnings in the Massachusetts Bay colony and how they are only found in New England. He also expressed his belief that traditional town meeting is very durable and not likely to dissapear anytime soon. Mad bury Town Moderator, Don Melvin, explained how the traditional town meeting works with warrants and articles and voice votes, and Joan Sundberg, chair of the Board of Selectmen, expressed her excitement about being a part of something with such historic roots.

| Insect Threat Return to index of stories... |
Sap-sucking insects are threatening to devastate one of New England's signature evergreens - the hemlock. Ususally the Asian woolly adelgid is killed by the cold during winter. Mild winter conditions have allowed the insect to thrive. Experts worry that hemlocks, already weakened by the drought, will not withstand the infestation expected this summer. A white woolly substance on infected trees houses the tiny insect's body and eggs. When the insects hatch, they suck the tree's nutrients, secreting a toxin as they feed. The tree then usually dies within four years. |
