  • Connecticut River Hydrilla Control Project Five-Year Management Plan
    Connecticut River Hydrilla Control Project Five-Year Management Plan Salmon Cove, Haddam/East Haddam, CT (M. Burns, RiverCOG) Northeast Aquatic Nuisance Species Panel April 2020 1 Executive Summary The federally listed noxious weed Hydrilla verticillata (monoecious biotype) was first discovered in the Connecticut River in 2016 near Keeney Cove and Glastonbury. In 2017 it was found in Enfield, Wethersfield Cove, and Crow Point Cove and the Mattabesset River. Surveys conducted in 2018-2019 indicate that the that infestation extends from Agawam, Massachusetts southward to Old Lyme, Connecticut within five miles of Long Island Sound. in scattered coves, creeks, and shoreline areas. Without a concerted multi-state control effort Vermont and New Hampshire may also be at risk of hydrilla infestation in their portion of the Connecticut River via transient boaters navigating upstream through the river system, or by visiting multiple launch sites along the river, or by the natural flow of water currents. Hydrilla is a high-priority species for prevention and early detection efforts for many New England states because once it becomes established it alters native habitats, impacts fisheries, prohibits water recreation, affects local economies and is extremely difficult and expensive to remove. Hydrilla is also found in Coventry Lake, several small private ponds, and Silvermine River in Connecticut and ten other waterbodies in Massachusetts (Coachlace Pond, Hobomock Pond, Long Pond, Lower Woburn Street Pond, Magoun Pond, Oakman Pond, Mossy Pond, Mystic

  • War, Murder, and a “Monster of a Man” in Revolutionary New England
    THE ANXIOUS ATLANTIC: WAR, MURDER, AND A “MONSTER OF A MAN” IN REVOLUTIONARY NEW ENGLAND A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by David W. Thomas December 2018 Examining Committee Members: Travis Glasson, Advisory Chair, Department of History Mónica Ricketts, Department of History Jessica Roney, Department of History David Waldstreicher, External Member, The Graduate Center, CUNY Richard Bell, External Member, University of Maryland ii © Copyright 2018 by David W. Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT On December 11, 1782 in Wethersfield, Connecticut, a fifty-two year old English immigrant named William Beadle murdered his wife and four children and took his own life. Beadle’s erstwhile friends were aghast. William was no drunk. He was not abusive, foul-tempered, or manifestly unstable. Since arriving in 1772, Beadle had been a respected merchant in Wethersfield good society. Newspapers, pamphlets, and sermons carried the story up and down the coast. Writers quoted from a packet of letters Beadle left at the scene. Those letters disclosed Beadle’s secret allegiance to deism and the fact that the War for Independence had ruined Beadle financially, in his mind because he had acted like a patriot not a profiteer. Authors were especially unnerved with Beadle’s mysterious past. In a widely published pamphlet, Stephen Mix Mitchell, Wethersfield luminary and Beadle’s one-time closest friend, sought answers in Beadle’s youth only to admit that in ten years he had learned almost nothing about the man print dubbed a “monster.” This macabre story of family murder, and the fretful writing that carried the tale up and down the coast, is the heart of my dissertation.

Moss CONNECTICUT BOARD OF FISHERIES AND GAME 1 DOUGLAS D. MOSS CHIEF, FISH DIVISION, CONNECTICUT BOARD OF FISHERIES & GAME ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND THE ARTICLE As an aquatic hiologist in the early 1940's, Douglas Moss was assigned the task of studying various phases of the Ufe history and hiology of the Connecticut River shad population which necessitated a rather comprehensive review of the scientific literature. During this phase of his work, he repeatedly came upon fascinating articles and records relating to the history of the Connecticut River fisheries; many of these documents more historical than scientific in nature. He laecame enthusiastic ahout the compilation of historical facts relating to the early fisheries to the point where it became somewhat of a lahar of love. By 1946, he had thoroughly exhausted all of the reference materials available to him and then tortunately decided to record some of these facts in manuscript form. However, the resu ting article was never published. It has been said that Connecticut people rediscover the Connecticut River every twenty years, and it may be that we are now in one of those periods of increasing awareness of this beautiful body of water. In recent years, great sums of money have been spent to control its rampaging flood waters in the upper tributaries and many municipalities and industries are making efforts to abate the load of pollution going into the river.
