Poor New England Air Attracts

By Kerry Grens on Friday, August 12, 2005.

Scientists met at the University of New Hampshire this week to present data from the largest air quality study ever done.

Last summer they used twelve aircraft, a ship, weather balloons, satellites, and ground instruments to collect the information.

And they’ve spent the past year analyzing results.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Kerry Grens has more on what these researchers are finding out.

History of New Hampshire Public Radio

In August, 1981, WEVO began broadcasting in the Concord-Manchester area. Originally known as Granite State Public Radio, the reach and level of service of the station has grown over the past 25 years.

In 1981, the station had 500 members; today it has nearly 15,000. In 1981, there was a single station; today, NHPR operates six transmitters and four translators. Its signal can be heard in almost every corner of the state.

Since 1991, NHPR has been broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A staff of 13 produces newscasts and feature reports on matters important to New Hampshire, as well as our call-in program "The Exchange."

NHPR is committed to bringing the different regions of this state together. We believe that the more each of us knows about the daily realities of our fellow residents, the more able we will be to pull in unison to solve our common problems.

Living with Black Bears

By Shay Zeller on Friday, August 12, 2005.

One of the good things about living in a rural state like New Hampshire is having the wilderness only a stone's throw away. But that also means learning to share the land with animals. Some New Hampshire towns are getting used to seeing Black Bears wandering around. We'll talk about ways to keep our shaggy neighbors at bay, without ruining their standard of living. Shay's guests are Ben Kilham and Andrew Timmons. Ben is a naturalist who works with Black Bears and studies their behavior. He's author of the Among The Bears: Raising Orphan Cubs in the Wild. Andrew is the bear project leader for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.

Fairy Tales

By Laura Knoy on Friday, August 12, 2005.

From Little Red Riding Hood to Hansel and Gretel, we'll look back at some of the earliest fairy tales and then turn the page to present times and see if the fairy tale still exists today. Laura's guests are Nancy Canepa, Associate Professor of French and Italian at Dartmouth College. Her research focuses on fairy tale studies, folklore and popular culture. She has edited or written several books on fairy tales, including her current project, "The Enchanted Boot", a cultural history of the Italian fairy tale. Laura is also joined by Donald Haase, Professor of German and Chair of the Department of German and Slavic Studies at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He is also Editor of Marvels and Tales: The Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies and General Editor of a book series called Series in Fairy-Tale Studies.
