Registration link (https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3398942723025193567)
You will receive an email from NHDES with an access link for the webinar once you register.
The summer and fall of 2023 were record-breaking for the number of cyanobacteria warnings and alerts issued in New Hampshire. Cyanobacteria blooms can threaten public health, impede recreation and negatively affect business revenues, tourism and property values. Knowing how to identify blooms and understanding the risks they pose are key to safely enjoying New Hampshire's lakes and rivers.
This webinar will describe:
* How to perform a self-risk assessment, including identifying blooms and being aware of common look-alikes.
* How to stay informed about bloom occurrences in New Hampshire.
* NHDES' process for evaluating bloom samples to determine if a risk to public health is likely present.
* Trends in bloom warnings in New Hampshire.
This presentation is part of a series of webinars hosted by NHDES in follow up to the release in November 2023 of a statewide strategy to prevent the increase of, and eventually control, cyanobacteria blooms in New Hampshire's surface waters. The plan was required by the state Legislature and included input from a 17-person cyanobacteria advisory committee.
The webinar will be recorded, and a link of the recording will be posted online on the NHDES YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@NHDES).

Minn. Senate Republican Caucus: Senator Coleman - Senate Passes Bipartisan Fix to Last Year's School Resource Officer Law
ST. PAUL, Minnesota, March 16 -- The Minnesota Senate Republican Caucus issued the following news on March 15, 2024:

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, March 16 -- The Minnesota Senate Republican Caucus issued the following news on March 15, 2024:
On Thursday, March 14, Senator Julia Coleman (R-Waconia) voted in favor of a bipartisan fix to last session's school resource officer (SRO) law. This legislation (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=house&f=HF%203489&ssn=0&y=2024) has the support of Minnesota law enforcement and eliminates the overly restrictive language that hinders their ability to act in dangerous situations.
"SROs are integral members of our school community, and their role is essential to the safetyof our students, teachers and staff," Sen. Coleman said. "This bipartisan legislation is backed by our law enforcement, and it will provide our SROs the clarity and support they need to do their jobs and return to their schools."
With the start of the 2023 school year, school districts across the state found the language change meant SRO contracts would need significant changes to meet the new law. Many law enforcement agencies removed SROs or repositioned them to be stationed outside school buildings. The short-term impact was almost immediately felt as reports of violence at schools were shared widely. Just last week, an SRO was sent to the hospital after breaking up a fight.
"Back in August, I joined Republicans in introducing a bipartisan fix to this change in law and urged the governor to call for a special session. I am glad we reached a bipartisan, commonsense solution that puts our kids first, but I wish we could have reached a resolution much sooner," Sen. Coleman concluded.
This legislation was recently signed into law by the governor.

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, March 16 -- The Maryland Department of Natural Resources issued the following news on March 15, 2024:

The Conservation Corps is a partnership between the Department of Natural Resources and AmeriCorps
* * *
Maryland Conservation Corps members gathered at Sandy Point State Park on Tuesday to share stories about why they felt called to serve and what they've learned from their work, before setting out for a day of cutting back invasive plants.
As part of AmeriCorps Week, the event brought representatives from AmeriCorps and Maryland state agencies to the ChesapeakeBay-front park in Annapolis to celebrate the ongoing achievements of the Maryland Conservation Corps. A partnership between AmeriCorps and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Conservation Corps places about 40 members across eight state parks every year.
At the event, the Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation presented AmeriCorps CEO Michael Smith with a proclamation from Gov. Wes Moore declaring this week as AmeriCorps Week in Maryland, noting how the service work through the program strengthens members, communities, and the state as a whole.
In view of the Bay, Conservation Corps members spoke about what they've gained from the program, from learning teaching skills and environmental education to working a chainsaw and getting out of their comfort zone.
Elizabeth Butz, a Conservation Corps and AmeriCorps member at Susquehanna State Park, said she joined because she had a passion for the environment and thought it was a good opportunity to learn job skills.
"It's been a really great way to give back to those parks that I grew up going to," she said. "And then I've learned a lot about being able to do environmental education especially, so it lets me turn my passions into a way to educate others."
Rory Fisher, who was a Conservation Corps and AmeriCorps member at Gunpowder Falls State Park last year and is now a Conservation Corps crew lead at Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, said service work has been meaningful to him and he hopes to help make parks more welcoming to the Black community and other minority groups.
"What I've learned throughout my time at Conservation Corps is that I really enjoy serving, and I think I want to just take that with me for the rest of my life," he said. "One of my big goals is to definitely just to get more people that look like myself out in the parks and outside, so I just try to be an influence on more people."
Smith, the AmeriCorps CEO, said the members' stories were testimonies to the "transformative power of service" and thanked the members for their hard work and sacrifices. He noted that this is a time when many young people are experiencing climate anxiety, and programs like Conservation Corps and the new American Climate Corps offer a path for constructive action to protect the planet and local communities.
"I think what you demonstrate and you show is we can move from anxiety to action," Smith said. "We can dig in and we can make a difference. So thank you for making that difference and getting things done, and for giving me a great way to kick off AmeriCorps week. I'm excited to serve alongside you."
After the gathering at the Nature Center at Sandy Point, the Conservation Corps teams headed a few minutes down the road to the Corcoran Environmental Study Area, where DNR's Chesapeake and Coastal Service has been conducting extensive efforts to tackle the forest's proliferation of invasive plants.
Invasive vines there have been enough to fell record-size trees, and each tree that falls opens up more areas to invasive species, said Sarah Hilderbrand, a senior restoration specialist for the Department of Natural Resources. It's intensive work--where every time one plant gets under control, another pops up--which is why it's helpful to bring big teams out to work together.
The Corcoran effort is what Conservation Corps calls a "surge project," where several crews come to one park to work together on bigger initiatives, said Ranger Sara Marcinak, the Conservation Corps director. Often, she said, park staff are surprised by how fast and efficiently the crews can finish big projects.
Conservation Corps members took up shears and cutters and put on work gloves and ear protection and set off into the Corcoran woods. Spreading out into three teams, they went after wineberry, bamboo, Japanese honeysuckle, Oriental bittersweet and other plants, slicing them off at the stem to slow further growth.
"It's been a really great partnership with the Maryland Conservation Corps, and we've really started trying to reverse the degradation and work towards forest health in Corcoran," Hilderbrand said. "We're trying to reclaim those areas, and we've used teams like yours to get the forest health up."
The Maryland Conservation Corps started in 1984 and became an AmeriCorps program in 1994. It receives funding from the Department of Natural Resources and AmeriCorps. The program is open to young adults aged 17 to 25, who will serve 10 and a half months. Each member primarily serves in one state park, though they also participate in projects across the state. Applications are open (https://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/Pages/mcc.aspx) and are reviewed from February to September. Last year, the Maryland Conservation Corps graduated 35 members who completed at least 1,700 hours of community service.

ATLANTA, Georgia, March 16 -- The Georgia House issued the following news release:
State Representative and Governor's Floor Leader Lauren McDonald, III (R-Cumming), along with members of the Forsyth County Legislative Delegation, stand united in their support for House Resolution 303 and its enabling legislation, House Bill 585, the 'Georgia Development Impact Fee Act,' which would aim to empower local boards of education in high-growth school systems, including Forsyth County schools, by granting them the authority to impose, levy and collect educational development impact fees.
"Educationaldevelopment impact fees are a fair and equitable way to invest in our schools," said State Representative and Governor's Floor Leader Lauren McDonald, III (R-Cumming). "The Forsyth County Legislative Delegation is eager to see both House Bill 585 and House Resolution 303 advance through the legislative process as both measures will grant local school boards with the necessary tools to foster growth and direct benefits for Georgia students."
"Our commitment to education extends beyond the classroom," said State Representative Todd Jones (R-South Forsyth). "It encompasses the infrastructure that supports our students' learning environment, from the desks they sit in to the technology they utilize. House Bill 585 and House Resolution 303 represent a proactive step toward ensuring that Georgia's schools remain centers of excellence, fostering an environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential."
"House Bill 585 and House Resolution 303 pave the way for smarter growth and better educational opportunities for Georgia's students," said State Representative Rick Jasperse (R-Jasper). "By allowing local boards of education to impose development impact fees, we ensure that our schools can keep pace with growth and provide quality education to all students. I am proud to support this constitutional amendment and its enabling legislation and look forward to working alongside my legislative colleagues to advance these measures."
"Supporting these much-needed measures means supporting the future of quality education in Georgia," said State Representative Carter Barrett (R-Cumming). "House Bill 585 and House Resolution 303 exemplify our dedication to securing prosperous educational paths for our students. By furnishing them with the vital resources, we prepare them for entry into Georgia's thriving workforce and ensure access to top-tier learning environments."
"House Bill 585 ensures that our schools can keep pace with expanding populations, providing the resources necessary for quality education," said State Representative Brent Cox (R-Dawsonville). "Coupled with the adoption of House Resolution 303, which proposes a constitutional amendment to enable this vital measure, we would take a crucial step toward securing a brighter future for our students. Together, these initiatives pave the way for sustainable growth, ensuring that every child in Georgia has access to the educational facilities they need to thrive."
"With House Bill 585, we're ensuring that our schools remain equipped to accommodate the growing needs of our communities, offering the essential resources crucial for delivering high-quality education," said State Representative David Clark (R-Buford). The adoption of House Resolution 303 would further strengthen our commitment by proposing a constitutional amendment to support this vital initiative, marking a significant stride towards securing a more promising future for our students. Together, these measures set the stage for sustainable progress, guaranteeing that every child across Georgia has equitable access to the educational infrastructure essential for their academic success and personal growth."
HB 585 would grant local school boards of education the authority to impose, levy and collection educational development impact fees, which would provide adequate funding to assist with the influx of new Georgia residents. The bill's implementation hinges on the adoption of HR 303, which would authorize these impact fees. The term educational development impact fees refer to fees that would be imposed to pay for a share of the cost of additional educational facilities that would serve new growth and development in the same area in which such fees would be imposed. If both HB 585 and HR 303 received final passage, then voters could approve the measure via a ballot referendum.
Both HB 585 and HR 303 are assigned to the House Committee on Governmental Affairs.
