Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

KENNETH D. KIMBALL ) ZONING PETITION ZP 702 ) I. INTRODUCTION My name is Kenneth Kimball. I hold a doctorate in botany from the University of New Hampshire, a Masters in zoology from the University of New Hampshire and a Bachelors of Science in ecology from Cornell University. I have been employed as the Research Director for the Appalachian Mountain Club since 1983. I have overall responsibility for the club’s research in the areas of air quality, climate change, northeastern alpine research, hydropower relicensing, windpower siting policy and land conservation and management. I was the organizer of the Northeastern Mountain Stewardship Conference, held in Jackson, NH in 1988, co-organizer of the National Mountain Conference held in Golden, CO in 2000 and one of the original founders of what is now the biannual Northeastern Alpine Stewardship Symposiums. I have conducted research on New Hampshire and Maine’s mountains, including on Mount Katahdin, Saddleback, Sunday River Whitecap and the Mahoosucs. I am currently the principal investigator of a NOAA-funded research project titled “Climate and air pollutant trends and their influence on the biota of New England’s higher elevation and alpine ecosystems”, which includes partner organizations the University of New Hampshire and Mount Washington Observatory. I have been involved in research and policy development related to windpower siting in the northeast for over a decade. I have organized and chaired several forums on the need for states to develop windpower siting policy in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and spoken at a number of forums on this need.

Lammers ABSTRACT. Morphological and phytogeographical data support the recognition of three distinct species in the genus Bmch/eïytrum: B. japonicum, B. ereclum, and B. aristosum. Bmchyelytrum japonicum is confined to eastern Asia and is charac- terized by narrow leaf blades (0.5-0.8 cm wide), long lower glumes {0.2-2.0 mm long), and long rachiUas (6.8-8.8 mm long). Bmchyelytrum ¿rectum is distributed throughout much of the eastern United States, from northwestern Minnesota south to central Louisiana, east to northern Florida and north to northeastern New York. Brachyelytrum erectum is characterized by long hispid hairs (0.2-0.9 mm long) on the veins of the lemma, wide lemmas (0.8-1.8 mm wide), and a conspicuous lemma mid-vein. Brachyelytrum aristosum has a more northern distribution, occurring in southern Canada from southern Ontario to Newfoundland, the northern adjacent United States and through the Appalachian mountains to northwestern North Carolina. Brachyelytrum aristosum is characterized by short scaberulous hairs (0.06-0.2 mm long) on the lemma and narrow lemmas (0.7-1.4 mm wide) that are weakly veined.
