State Issues Cyanobacteria Warning For Locke Lake, Barnstead


An elevated cyanobacteria cell concentration has been measured in Locke Lake, Barnstead. Samples revealed that the state standard of 50 percent or greater of the total cells from the bloom were identified as the cyanobacteria Anabaena circinalis. As a result, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) has issued a cyanobacteria warning for those who recreate on Locke Lake. This warning is not based on a toxin evaluation and is intended as a precautionary measure for short term exposure. DES advises lake users to avoid contact with the water in areas experiencing elevated cyanobacteria cell conditions typically where lake water has a surface scum or blue-green flecks. DES also advises pet owners to keep their pets out of any waters that have a surface scum or blue-green or bright green flecks.


Lake users should be on the lookout for cyanobacteria surface scums. Recent sightings report congregations of the blue-green scum on the lake’s edge.


DES routinely monitors public beaches and public waters of the state for cyanobacteria. DES monitors public waters issued cyanobacteria warnings on a weekly basis until the cyanobacteria standards are again met. Cyanobacteria are natural components of water bodies worldwide, but blooms and surface scums may form when excess phosphorus is available to the water. Some cyanobacteria produce toxins that are stored within the cells but released upon cell death. Toxins can cause both acute and chronic health effects ranging in severity from skin and mucous membrane irritations, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea to liver and central nervous system damage for humans and animals.


The July 22, 2009, warning will remain in effect until additional samples reveal cyanobacteria levels have diminished.

 


 

NH Route 28 Corridor Safety Study Project Advisory Committee Meeting


There will be a meeting of the NH Route 28 Project Advisory Committee (Route 28 PAC) from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Thursday, July 30, 2009. The meeting will be held at the Pittsfield Town Hall, located at 85 Main Street, Pittsfield NH. Planning staff from Central NH Regional Planning Commission will present information on existing land use and potential future land use recommendations within the corridor study area that includes the towns of Alton, Barnstead, Chichester, Epsom, and Pittsfield. The study consulting engineers will present preliminary findings of the corridor safety analysis being conducted by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin (VHB). The work of VHB builds on the initial road safety audit conducted by community representatives appointed to Route 28 PAC by the Board of Selectmen from each corridor municipality. Ultimately, the group’s efforts will lead to general corridor-wide safety improvement recommendations, improvement cost estimates, and preliminary conceptual designs at the ten leading intersections of concern established by the Route 28 PAC. Members of the public who are concerned about transportation safety within the NH Route 28 corridor study area are encouraged to attend and provide their input.  For additional information about this meeting please contact Michael Izard, Principal Planner at the Lakes Region Planning Commission at 279-8171 or Rodrigo Marion, Principal Transportation Planner at the Central NH Regional Planning Commission at 226-6020.

 


 

Barnstead Old Home Day 2009
Looking For Our Own American Idol!


Is there a young American Susan Boyle living in the greater Barnstead area?  Do you have hidden talent just waiting to bust out?  Then we want you to register for the annual Barnstead Old Home Day Youth Variety Show. If you can sing, dance, juggle, play an instrument or otherwise entertain us, live in the Barnstead area, and are under age eighteen we can offer you fun, prizes and your very own 15 minutes (or so) of fame.  Register for your spot now, while space is still available.   The show will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Old Home Day, August 29, 2009, under the tent on Barnstead Parade.


All acts for the Youth Variety Show must be of a “family oriented” nature.  Shirts, shoes and appropriate clothing are required.  Youth performers will require signed parental permission.  Registration forms can be obtained from the town website at www.barnstead.org, click on the green fire truck and select the Youth Talent Contest form. Registration forms can also be obtained at Town Hall and at the Summer Band Concerts on Saturday evenings at Barnstead Parade Grounds.


And KARAOKE will return again this year, immediately following the Youth Variety Show. Last year, we had an unbelievably lively group of talented karaoke singers who had lots of fun entertaining us with their performances. Following last year’s huge success, we are bringing back karaoke again this year. No prior registration is required.  Stay around right after the Youth Variety Show, stroll on up to the microphone and belt out your song!

 

This year’s Old Home Day will have loads of activities for everyone in the family. Look for more information to come about all we will have to offer: Fire Department mini-muster, kids games, bicycle parade, rock climbing wall, jailhouse, basketball contests, road race, canoe and kayak race, baking contest and Barnstead Citizen of the Year. See you at Old Home Day!

Bailey Jennings, 2009 Recipient Of State Of NH 4-H Beekeeping Essay Award

 

 

Bailey Jennings, a resident of Center Barnstead and member of the Farmyard Friends 4-H Club, is this year’s recipient of the 2009 State of NH 4-H Beekeeping Essay Award, from “The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc.”  Bailey’s essay, entitled “Dancing with the Bees” was also recently recognized by the NH Beekeeper’s Association.


Jennings’s essay, entitled “Dancing with the Bees,” is known to seek out new and different ways to challenge herself.  This past spring she decided to learn more about honey bees and how they communicate, resulting in her award-winning essay.  She discovered that “When a bee finds a nearby source of unexploited food, they perform the Round Dance. The bee performs this dance in a small circle and then every one or two circles the bee will switch and circle in the opposite direction.  If you’re having difficulty picturing this, imagine Rhett Butler and Scarlett OHara doing the Virginia Reel.  The other bees that were given information by the dancing bee will go looking for the food in every direction and as far as the dance indicates.  In addition, the dancing bee gives off the smell of a flower(s) it has found to make it easier to find the food source.” The judging committee mentioned that her essay was well thought out and reflected a significant amount of research into the behavior of honey bees.


The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc. has released their 4-H essay topic for 2010.  It is; Is My Community Honey-Bee Friendly?  Essayists are invited to survey their communities to see what is being done, or could be done to help honey bees. And, conversely, what activities, if any, are harmful to honey bees.


Youth who are interested in writing and are members of a 4-H club are encouraged to participate.  If you would like more information on, or becoming a member of the Strafford County 4-H program you are invited to call Linda Willard, Educational Prog. Coord., 4-H Youth Development at 603-749-4445 or linda.[email protected] for 4-H program information and contest details. The University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension is an equal opportunity educator and employer. UNH, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and New Hampshire counties cooperating.
