| West Nile Return to index of stories... |
More dead birds with the West Nile Virus have been found in New Hampshire. The latest were picked up in Plaistow, Amherst, Salem, Hudson and Nashua. That brings this summer's total to twelve. Last week, the virus was discovered in mosquitoes in Salem. But the town may not be able to spray. According to the Salem town manager, a mosquito control company didn't send the proper paperwork to the state for a permit. Towns are required to apply 120 days before spraying. Senate President Arthur Klemm says lawmakers are considering changes to the rules to allow more flexibility, and to allow Salem to spray. Granite state horse owners worried about West Nile received some good news today. A vaccine to protect horses against the west nile virus has been approved by the state vetereinarian. He says the vaccine will probably be distributed first in southern states, where mosquitos are more likely to be active year-round. |

AP-NH--Disability Dispute hmrsthofls Commission defends decision to invite controversial speaker -- The Governor's Commission on Disability is defending its conference that will feature a professor who believes parents should be able to euthanize severely disabled infants. Princeton University bioethicist Peter Singer has been invited to the commission's conference on genetics and bioethics in October. The decision has outraged some national and local disabilities rights groups who say Singer shouldn't be given a chance to spread his views. Michael Jenkins, director of the governor's commission, says the organization is disgusted by Singer's theories but invited him so he'll be forced to face the people whose lives he considers worthless. Jenkins and several people with disabilities had a news conference today to stand by the conference. AP-NY |
| Bears Return to index of stories... |
AP-NH--Bears Killed dewflscodlac Three bears killed after close encounters in N.H. -- Police and Fish and Game officers have killed three bears in New Hampshire this month after close encounters with people. In Meredith, police shot a black bear that strayed onto Main Street on Saturday afternoon. Sergeant John Egan said it was the last thing they wanted to do, but he called it a matter of public safety. Police worried the bear might get cornered on the busy street, which was crowded with a crafts festival. A day earlier, Conway Police shot a bear that charged an officer. The bear had been searching for food in dumpsters at an apartment building. Police had tried to scare the bear back into woods with a siren and other noises, but it didn't work. Earlier this month, a Fish and Game officer shot a black bear that scratched two tourists in Lincoln as it looked for food. |
