This Sunday an advertising blitz will begin airing criticizing President Bush's energy plan. New Hampshire environmentalists say conservation and investment in renewable energy sources are quicker, cheaper and safer solutions to the nation's energy problems than President Bush's plan. They said conserving energy could have an immediate effect, while Bush proposals to drill for oil in the Arctic will take years and only strengthen the nation's ties to fossil fuels.

script iconMosquito Hunt

As New Hampshire communities begin looking
for mosquitoes that can carry the West Nile virus, Portsmouth
is the first city in the state to check city catch basins.
The city's mosquito control consultant says so far, they have found the mosquitoes in about two of
every ten catch basins they've checked. When they find them, they
spray to kill the larvae.

One of northern New Hampshire's popular summer events has been canceled. Attitash-Bear Peak has canceled the 17th annual Equine Festival according to the managing Director Tom Chasse it was a hard decision, but without a sponsor, they could not host the festival. He says they hope to be able to bring the festival back in the future.
