The measure calls for the closure of the school for at least three semesters to deal with an estimated $70 million in debt. Before the committee met, however, Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston, told a group of supporters that even if the measure advanced from the House, it doesn't have much chance in the Senate.

Excerpt: "To get a better handle on the number of turkeys in the wild - one estimate put it at 40,000 about four years ago - the DEP last year began a survey that seeks input from the agency's staff and the public. The agency wants reports of wild turkey sightings, especially hens with poults, as the young are known, between June 1 and Aug. 31. ...

If you use this site to estimate when high tide will be make sure you change the time zone to local time as GMT seems to be the default. Chris Nick Bonomo wrote: >From Nick Bonomo: 6/4 - Milford, Milford Pt -- 5 adult RED KNOT The tides today (and apparently last night) were very high.

Park and the 87 respondents are representative of the 450 people on this list then we have these estimates respondents Total 47 54.0% 243 visitors Rate (1) 18 20.7% 98 visitors Rate (2) 16 18.3% 83 visitors Rate (3) 13 14.9% 67 visitors This information might be useful for park managers and arguements about protecting habitat.

When it comes to forest interior habitat, the declines are quite steep, UCONN's Center for Landuse Education and Research estimates that we have lost over 150,000 acres of forest interior habitat in just the 1985-2002 timeframe.

Location: Eagleville Preserve, Mansfield Observation date: 8/5/08 Notes: 10 is a very conservative estimate for Yellow Warblers. They were everywhere, in many cases pairs chasing. Recently I saw very few and thought they might have started migration.

Below is a partial list with some estimates: Bay-breasted Warbler - 1 Blackburnian Warbler - 1 Wilson's Warbler - 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler - 150 Black-throated Blue Warbler - 8 Magnolia Warbler - 2 Palm Warbler - 3 Black-throated Green Warbler - 15 Northern Parula - 25 Blackpoll Warbler - 6 (probably missed a bunch of these in flight) Black-and-white Warbler

This evening at 7:15 or so I estimate I saw one group of nighthawks of 100+ individuals hawking insects over Silver Lane in Manchester (where it goes over I-384.) I only noticed them because the phone and power lines over the road were full of starlings and other small birds that were also obviously hawking insects overhead.

I estimated at least 800 birds and again, that is probably low. I was looking out over some large corn fields and could never see the whole group at 1 time. Echelon after echelon of them came by, sometimes 2 and three groups wide, and groups at several different altitudes at the same time.

Not only would wildlife be harmed, but our aquifer, streams, and well water will be threatened by pollution and our country roads clogged with an estimated 1,000 additional cars.
