  • Fall Elections Are Less Than 3 Months Away One of the Many Impacts Of
    Fall Elections are Less Than 3 Months Away One of the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is that some events that are non-pandemic-related get lost in the all-COVID, all-the-time news coverage. In the midst of the recent NH House and Senate meetings in-person at different locations than their usual State House chambers, the filing period for all State elective offices quietly opened and closed. Other than one US Senator whose term does not end this year - Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) - every NH state, county and local elective office is up for grabs and there are some surprises in the NH House, Senate and Executive Council line-ups for the September primary and the November general elections. In the House, 38 Democrats and 37 Republicans did not file for re-election, which will leave some big holes, especially in committee leadership positions. The chair of the Commerce & Consumer Affairs Committee, Ed Butler, is stepping down and the Science and Technology Committee is losing both its chair and vice-chair, Bob Backus and Howard Moffett. The Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee will lose its vice-chair, Polly Campion. And the Children and Family Law and Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committees will both lose their vice-chairs, Skip Berrien and Beth Rodd. In addition, two Division chairs of the House Finance Committee will not be back next session because they are seeking higher office: Patricia Lovejoy (D) is running for the Executive Council seat left open by the retirement of Russell Prescott; and Susan Ford (D) is running for State Senate District One, the seat now held by David Starr (R).

    The Granite State Poll February 28, 2020 SUNUNU REMAINS POPULAR; HOLDS LEADS OVER DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGERS FOR GOVERNOR By: Sean P. McKinley, M.A. [email protected] Zachary S. Azem, M.A. 603-862-2226 Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. cola.unh.edu/unh-survey-center DURHAM, NH – A majority of New Hampshire residents approve of Chris Sununu's performance as Governor but disapproval is rising. Sununu holds clear leads over prospec ve Democra c challengers State Senate Majority Leader Dan Feltes and Execu ve Councilor Andru Volinsky, who are not at all well known in the state. Nearly three-quarters of residents think the state is headed in the right direc on and a plurality con nue to believe that the drug crisis is the most important problem facing the state. These findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll*, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Six hundred eleven (611) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed in English by landline and cellular telephone between February 19 and February 25, 2020. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.0 percent. Included in the sample were 576 likely general elec on voters (MSE +/- 4.1%). Gubernatorial Approval With nine months to go before the November elec on, a majority of Granite Staters con nue to approve of New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu's performance, but disapproval is at its highest point in Sununu's governorship.

  • State Announces Fall Lake Drawdown
    https://www.laconiadailysun.com/news/local/state-announces-fall-lake-drawdown/article_f26c2346-c0e6-11e8- b208-a3608b93751c.html State announces fall lake drawdown 6 hrs ago CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has announced the dates of the annual fall drawdown of lakes and ponds that are controlled by the state. Because hydrologic conditions and recreational uses of the water bodies vary, the degree and date of the drawdowns are different for some of those lakes and ponds. The drawdown for Suncook Lakes in Barnstead is Oct. 1, and for Lake Opechee in Laconia, on Oct. 13. Drawdowns scheduled for Oct. 15 include Barnstead Parade in Barnstead, Crystal Lake and Shellcamp Pond in Gilmanton, Newfound Lake in Bristol, Squam Lake in Ashland, Sunset Lake in Alton, Webster Lake in Franklin, and Lake Winnisquam in Belmont. Lake Kanasatska in Moultonborough will be drawn down on Nov. 1. Lake drawdowns are intended to reduce winter ice damage to shoreline properties and to reduce spring flooding. The drawdowns also give property owners an opportunity to make necessary repairs to their waterfront property, as long as they obtain the appropriate permits from the Wetlands Bureau. The drawdowns of Lake Opechee and Lake Winnisquam occur on two-year intervals and last only a few weeks. This year, the lowering of Lake Opechee will begin on Oct. 13 and will likely take two days to pass the water downstream through Lake Winnisquam. The level of Winnisquam will not drop noticeably until Oct. 15. On Oct. 29, the flows at the Lakeport Dam will be increased to refill Lake Opechee, and the level of Lake Winnisquam should begin to rise late in the day on Oct.

  • Appendix A: Fish
    Appendix A: Fish Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus Federal Listing State Listing SC Global Rank G5 State Rank S5 High Regional Status Photo by NHFG Justification (Reason for Concern in NH) Alewife numbers have declined significantly throughout their range. Commercial landings of river herring, a collective term for alewives and blueback herring, have declined by 93% since 1985 (ASMFC 2009). Dams severely limit accessible anadromous fish spawning habitat, and alewives must use fish ladders for access to most spawning habitat in New Hampshire during spring spawning runs. River herring are a key component of freshwater, estuarine, and marine food webs (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). They are an important source of prey for many predators, and they contribute nutrients to freshwater ecosystems (Macavoy et al. 2000). Distribution The alewife is found in Atlantic coastal rivers from Newfoundland to North Carolina. It has been introduced into a number of inland waterbodies (Scott and Crossman 1973). In New Hampshire, alewives migrate into the Merrimack River and the seacoast drainages (Scarola 1987). Habitat Adult alewives migrate from the ocean into freshwater spawning habitats with slow moving water, including riverine oxbows, lakes, ponds, and mid‐river sites (Scott and Crossman 1973). Juveniles remain in freshwater until late summer and early fall when they migrate downstream into estuaries and eventually to the ocean. There is little information available on alewife movement and habitat use in the ocean. New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan Appendix A Fish-21 Appendix A: Fish NH Wildlife Action Plan Habitats ● Large Warmwater Rivers ● Warmwater Lakes and Ponds ● Warmwater Rivers and Streams Distribution Map Current Species and Habitat Condition in New Hampshire Coastal Watersheds: Alewife populations in the coastal watersheds are generally stable or increasing in recent years at fish ladders where river herring and other diadromous species have been monitored since 1979.
