| Intro Marlow Fire Return to index of stories... |
The lack of snow over the past winter has meant dry conditions in the woods that cover most of the state, which in turn has created a greater than normal fire hazard. The heavy rains of this past weekend have gone a long way to reduce that danger. But the state had no such luck in the spring of 1941. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the state's worst-ever forest fire. Richard Ager recently caught up with a man who remembers it as if it were yesterday. |

That means the woods are a greater fire hazard. This year marks the 65th anniversary of the state's worst forest fire, which consumed more than 24,000 acres in southwest New Hampshire. Outlook's Richard Ager talks with a man who remembers it as if it were yesterday. http:/www.nh.gov/dred/divisions/forestandlands/bureaus/forestprotection/index.htm TUESDAY, MAY 16 SUDOKU CRAZE Sudoku is a popular pastime for puzzle fans around the world. Wayne Gould, who splits his time between his native New Zealand and New Hampshire, is credited with pioneering the success of the logic-based number placement game.

Gould talks with NH Outlook host Beth Carroll about Sudoku fever. www.sudoku.com MAKING IT IN NH: WOODEN PUZZLES In this Making It in New Hampshire report, we visit "Wood-n-Puzzles."

| Immigrants Return to index of stories... |
Immigrants fighting against the Division of Motor Vehicles are hoping that oppoisiton from New Hampshire to partipate in Real I-D will help their case. Real I-D is a new federal law that works to prevent terrosits and undocumented immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses by conducting thorough identification checks. The New Hampshire House has signed a bill to bar the state's participation in Real I-D. The immigrants, who are fighting the ruling by a federal judge that most practices by the D-M-V are not discriminatory, want the decision to be re-examined. |
