Annual Report of the Town of Milford, New Hampshire f TOWN REPORT MILFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE — 2004 working to keep our town waterways unspoiled Cover Photographs by (clockwise from upper left corner): Gregg Pedestrian Bridge - anonymous Stone Culvert, Compressor Brook, Rotch Wildlife Preserve - Diane Fitzpatrick Gregg Pedestrian Bridge - anonymous Keyes Field/Souhegan Flood of 1996 - John Thunberg Mitchell Brook- Chris Costantino Souhegan River - Diane Fitzpatrick Heron on Souhegan River, below McLane Dam - Diane Fitzpatrick (center) |0 fW*-b F HM ^A - Town of Milford 2004 Annual Report ~ -About the Cover- As citizens of the Town of Milford, you can contribute to keeping the Town's waterways clean and unspoiled. We want future generations to be able to enjoy a clean environment and have the opportunity to take the same type of pictures in the future as seen on the cover of the 2004 Town Report. Rainfall and/or snow melt moving over and through the ground cause non-point source pollution. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human- made pollutants. Eventually these pollutants get deposited into lakes, rivers, and wet lands. As citizens, you should know that non-point source pollution is the leading cause of water quality issues. Milford residents can play an important role in minimizing pollutants from entering the Town's waterways, preserving the natural beauty for future generations to enjoy. You can help by applying lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to the packaging directions. Keep litter, pet wastes, leaves, and debris out of the street gutters and storm drains. These drain directly to rivers, streams, and waterways. Dispose of used oil, antifreeze, paints, and other household chemicals properly, not into storm drains. Waste oil that is free of contaminates can be brought to the Town's Transfer Station. Other waste such as antifreeze, paint thinner, and pesticides can be brought to household hazardous waste collection events, typically held in Nashua. Y ou can also help by calling the Department of Public Works at 673-1662 if you witness anyone dumping oil or other substances into storm drains. The Town of Milford is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement over a five-year period a Storm Water Management Program. The plan consists of six minimum control measures. • Public education and outreach program • Public involvement and participation • Illicit discharge detection and elimination measures • Construction site storm water run off control • Post-construction storm water management • Pollution prevention, good housekeeping in municipal operations During the spring and summer of 2005, the Town will be seeking volunteers to participate in the Storm Water Management Program to conduct activities such as roadside clean ups, river shore clean ups, and storm water drain stenciling. Anyone wishing to volunteer should call the Human Resources Office at 673-4987 or Public Works at 673-1662. The Town welcomes your ideas on how we can keep the waterways clean and unspoiled. For additional information and Town contacts, please visit the Town's web page at www.milford.nh.gov. Go to the Town Departments header and click on Conservation, then under Other News click on Stormwater. Working together, we can keep the Town's waterways clean and unspoiled for the current and future residents of the Town of Milford.

As the temperance cause gained momentum during the 1820s many farmers abandoned their cider trees and transitioned to the cultivation of grafted winter apples in New England. In turn agricultural writers used

  • Homemade Magic
    HOMEMADE MAGIC: CONCEALED DEPOSITS IN ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXTS IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS IN ANTHROPOLOGY BY M. CHRIS MANNING DR. MARK GROOVER, ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2012 ABSTRACT THESIS: Homemade Magic: Concealed Deposits in Architectural Contexts in the Eastern United States STUDENT: M. Chris Manning DEGREE: Master of Arts in Anthropology COLLEGE: College of Sciences and Humanities DATE: December 2012 PAGES: 473 The tradition of placing objects and symbols within, under, on, and around buildings for supernatural protection and good luck, as an act of formal or informal consecration, or as an element of other magico-religious or mundane ritual, has been documented throughout the world. This thesis examines the material culture of magic and folk ritual in the eastern United States, focusing on objects deliberately concealed within and around standing structures. While a wide range of objects and symbols are considered, in-depth analysis focuses on three artifact types: witch bottles, concealed footwear, and concealed cats. This thesis examines the European origins of ritual concealments, their transmission to North America, and their continuation into the modern era. It also explores how culturally derived cognitive frameworks, including cosmology, religion, ideology, and worldview, as well as the concepts of family and household, may have influenced or encouraged the use of ritual concealments among certain groups. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis truly would not have been possible without the continuous love and encouragement of my family, especially my amazingly supportive parents, Michael and Mary Manning, and my sister, Becca, my rock, who’s always there when I need her, night or day.
