Letter


In response to Tim Duggan’s reply to my letter concerning freedom. I was referring to liberty in  its simplest and basic sense, as defined in my dictionary. It defines freedom as “liberty.”  It defines liberty as “free from bondage or restraint.” My statements were based upon this definition of freedom, and only this definition. Nothing more and nothing less. I did not grant it additional qualities, or supplement it with other conditions. I did not make it “more than this.”


Consequently, I stand by the statements made in my letter. When viewed in this manner, Freedom is not the grand prize in this game of life, it is only the ticket that allows you to play the game. The grand prize in this game is a state of affairs called Justice.
R. Lincoln Burns

BYBSA Thanks its Many Volunteers

 
As baseball season winds down in Barnstead and playoffs are close at hand, it is time to reflect back on the successes of the season and the areas which need improvement.


A huge thank you goes out to the dedicated staff and owners of Neva Dun Farm and Pike Industries. The father and son team of Ken and Ezra Burt worked tirelessly along with their dedicated staff for three days to recreate Barnstead’s own field of dreams at the Route 126 ball fields, as well as, grade and level out our parking area. Pike Industries made this work possible with a generous donation of a 21 ton load of stone dust. We can not express our gratitude enough for their dedication, time and donation of supplies and equipment. Parent volunteers and players too numerous to mention were in attendance to lend a hand, shovel, rake, or whatever was needed. Many thanks to the person who generously donated food and beverages for our volunteers. Your act of kindness did not go unnoticed.


It is clear to see many things have been done right and there are always ways in which we can improve. BYBSA is completely volunteer driven and is always looking for interested folks to join join our dedicated board. To find out how you can become involved, drop by a board meeting the 1st Monday of every month during the off season at the Oscar Foss Memorial Library at 6:30 pm. Hope to see some new faces there.

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% 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 June 11, 2009 warning will remain in effect until additional samples reveal cyanobacteria levels have diminished.


Visit the DES Beach Program website at http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/beaches/index.htm for photos and more information about cyanobacteria. Updates on advisories and warnings may be obtained at http://www2.des.state.nh.us/Advisories/Beaches/.


If you notice anything resembling cyanobacteria, please refrain from wading, swimming, or drinking the water. Keep all pets out of the water and contact DES immediately. Please call DES to report a cyanobacteria bloom at (603)419-9229
