Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
It's vacation season -- and that means people are heading off to beaches and waterways around the state.
Local waters are continually monitored for bacteria, including strains of E. coli that can make you sick.
The state Department of Environmental Services tests waters at area beaches from mid-June through August and post signs telling swimmers whether the waters are free of bacteria.
We first told you about the state inspection process 3 years ago --
Jacqui Pini has the story.

Anti-biotics are generally not effective in treating E. coli.
If you experience any of the symptoms described in our story, call your doctor and don't go swimming.
script iconIntro Millfoil
Return to index of stories...
More than a hundred thousand boats are registered in the state of New Hampshire.
Each of those boat owners pay a fee which helps, among other things, to pay for lake and pond monitoring, research and elmination programs.
Some of the monitoring occurs underwater, where invasive species -- like milfoil-- are taking root.
Chip Neal first brought us this story in 2002, as he went in search of the dreaded plant.
script iconTag Milfoil
Return to index of stories...
There are 64 bodies of water in New Hampshire -- since we first reported that story in 2002, milfoil has now been found in 53 of those waterbodies.
There were two new infestations of milfoil in 2004.
script iconIntro Lifetime Camp
Return to index of stories...
Most of us, lucky enough to go to summer camp, look back at the experience as a magical time in our childhood.full of nature and wonder.
But summer camp is not just for kids.
For one woman, a NH camp has been her summer escape for some 40-years.
Julie Donnelly talked to Stevie Ma'am during her camp visit in 2004.

Phil Steel **13:08 what's great about stevie ma'am of course is that she is so different from this place… what this place is about. She stands out like a beacon 13:08:43**
Stevie Thomas **13:30:15 we've had a wonderful time. We came the end of camp.while she was havin so how many years have you spent here?
This is my 39th summer…it's a nice habit…I wouldn't give it up 13:32:30**
**13:34:10 how have things changed for young girls from when you first started coming here to now?
Well I don't see any real changes out on the waterfront. They still want to learn to swim and they still maybe on a freezing day might say "do we have to go in." None of that has changed, now inside I see more things. We use to have dances too, now the dances they dress a little differently and they expect ya to have different music./
Camper Charlotte Golar **Well just to start off Steavie is one of my favorite people at camp. And um,. right just like they were in the old days, like when she was my age.
Stevie: /Things move along okay but outside of that I don't see any huge changes at camp. And the kids don't want changes, I mean they the parents see it just like it was we may have another shower here and another there and maybe another cabin but overall it hasn't changed. I don't think they want it, it shouldn't change cuz it's ok like it is.**
Phil Steel**13:04:12 they are living in an American culture but they have a perspective here that they are not going to get back in the real world which I think is a lot healthier um and I think they think its a lot healthier and so they can bring it with them an yet they get a certain distance from it and yea its a little bit back to nature and its certainly back to a time that cell phones don't work here and there's no television or all that
13:04:42 they get a chance and it's definitely part of the appeal…kind of environment. Definitely 13:04:59
ONE OF THE REMARKABLE THINGS ABOUT THIS CAMP IS THE CONSTANT SINGING. EACH CAMPER SINGS SONGS WITH HER AGE GROUP. EXCEPT EMY METZGER. AS THE YOUNGEST CAMPER, AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE SO CALLED LEPRAUCHAN GROUP, SHE SINGS ALONE.
WHAT EMY LIKES ABOUT STEVIE MA'AM IS HER UNIQUE WEATHER REPORTS.
Camper Emy Metzger EMY: Yes always explains the weather very clearly, and once she had this weather stick … today is going to be in the eighties and she's going to say its going to be a great day today enjoy it
Emy Metzger**She says its going to be a fifty sevener and its worth fifty cents**
sTEVIE*13:38:20 locally you know they have this program that started back when Joe Dodge on top of Mt. Washington, must've been in the '30s and '40s and he reported weather. And what I understand he was also advertising a bank. And so he decided that he would give the report the weather, the barometer, the rain so whatever is going on, and then he would associate it with money. So he suggested that a perfect day be worth 50 cents and called it a fifty center. That's the expression, of course my southern accent sounds a little different. So he would say what kind of day it was, and if it was a beautiful day like to day, it was a fifty center. If it happened it happened to be a rainy day like it was 2 days ago, it was a 35 center. And you're suppose to put that amount of money in the bank and they still do this. **
ONE THING STEVIE STILL DOES IS TEACH SWIMMING LESSONS. THIS YEAR SHE HAS SOME SPECIAL STUDENTS. THREE OF HER GRANDDAUGHTERS ARE CAMPERS. THE LITTLEST ONE IS RYAN PETERS.
Ryan Peters15:15:57- Girl: I am Ryan Peters from Santa Barbara, California. When you first came here to live in the woods, all the way from California, did you think it was kinda crazy idea?
15:16:11: Not really, 'cause my mom told me hw fun it was and how great it was. I really enjoyed it, too.
15:16:44: Do you think that going to camp is good for people that are shy? Do you think it makes people less shy?
15:16:52: Yeah, definitely. I used to be really, really, really shy. And I'm not very much anymore.
15:17:13: I think we, because we live together, we become a lot better at cooperating and being with other people.
15:17:59: So tell me about the surprise you found in your cabin when you came to your cabin here… I came in here. I wrote my name right next to it. And I put and arrow and it says my mom. She was here in 1972.
13:41:26 What's your wish for your campers when they leave here?
Stevie: I want them to thrive off of all of the happiness and all that they've learned here. I even find myself, keep it up during the year. And before you know it, it's time to start packing for camp again. **
Phil Steel**13:11:22 eaton center becomes, haven of peace and community.for the people …keep it in her life summer after summer after summer. That's pretty special 13:12:05**
FOR NH OUTLOOK, I'M JULIE DONNELLY
