The federal government is now accepting applications for security screeners at 50 airports around
the country, including Manchester Airport.
Security screeners can earn more than 35-thousand dollars, plus benefits.
Congress federalized the airport screening process after the
industry came under sharp criticism for security breaches, hiring
convicts and cutting corners to save money.
Candidates can apply online at T-S-A-dot- G-O-V.

script iconair quality

Temperatures soared Tuesday causing poor air quality in the southern part of the state. The Environmental Protection Agency reports unhealthy ozone levels for sensitive people: those with respiratory disease, such as asthma. Children and the chronically ill are most susceptible to the heat.
Heat exhaustion is the most typical problem. Symptoms inclued heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, weakness, nausea or fainting. Unrelieved, it can lead to more severe heatstroke that can kill or cause brain damage without prompt treatment. To learn more about beating the heat, you can go to center for disease control's website.

A group of communities trying to overturn the property tax wants to know where the
gubernatorial candidates stand on paying for public schools.
The Coalition Communities is sending the candidates questionnaires that ask if they would
support phasing out the state property tax by April 2004.
The letter also asks whether they would veto the next state budget if it uses the state property tax. Similar surveys also will be sent to state legislative candidates.

AP-NH--Legionnaires' Disease

Postal workers want facility tested for Legionnaires' disease
-- Workers U-S Postal Service centers in western
New Hampshire want the facilities tested for Legionnaires' disease
after a co-worker was diagnosed with the sometimes deadly form of
pneumonia last month.
Union representatives for the workers say they are concerned
about employees' health and want to know whether Legionella
bacteria are present, perhaps in the air conditioning system.
The letter carrier diagnosed with the disease worked out of a
central sorting facility and spent time in the post offices in
Lebanon and Hanover. The man was expected to fully recover.
The Postal Service has refused the union's request to test the
facilities. A spokesman said the state Department of Health and
Human Services told postal officials that monitoring for additional
illnesses is the best bet.
During the last five years, 42 cases of Legionella infection
have been reported to in the state. Six people died from it.
