The Enfield List
~ An Email Discussion Forum for Enfield ~


Hi Everyone!

I have worked with Dartmouth College and as of today, was able to get the Enfield Listserv up and running. I am hoping you can help me test drive this electronic communication system and invite more Enfield residents, town offices, school offices and businesses to join in.

What is an Enfield Listserv and why is it important to you? At the bottom of this email is a link to the Enfield Listserv Netiquette which explains what this tool is about, how to use it, who is eligible and what the rules are. Hopefully, this tool will end up being more than just an Enfield "Craig's List" and that there will be significant discussion on politics, town budget, assessment and the like. It will be good to know about road conditions this winter and school closings, etc. as well.

FIRST - HOW TO JOIN?
You may subscribe to the listserv by sending an email to listserv@dartmouth.edu with ONLY the contents:
SUB ENFIELD your name in the body of the email. Do not include any signature blocks in the body of the email. You can leave the subject line of the email blank as this has no significance in the subscription process.

Example: SUB ENFIELD Kim Furlong

I'm hoping to be able to send you a return email that you have been approved. This may take a day or two to occur.

SECOND - HOW TO SEND EMAILS TO THE ENFIELD LISTSERV?
Send an email to: Enfield@listserv.dartmouth.edu from the email address you used to obtain the subscription.

I hope this tool works as planned in uniting the community or at least furthering the communications electronically. With any luck, you all find it useful. Enjoy!

Regards,
Kim Furlong
Enfield Resident Since 1994

Enfield Energy Committee News


The Enfield Public Library now has two new items to loan out to Enfield residents:

Smart Strip: The Smart Strip is a surge protector that saves energy by shutting off power to switched outlets when a device plugged into the control outlet is turned off. For example, computer peripherals such as monitors, printers, scanners plugged into the switched outlets will simultaneously turn off when the computer, plugged into the control outlet, is turned off. Also, The Smart Strip can be used to shut off VCRs, DVD players, and audio components when your TV is shut off.

Kill-A-Watt Electric Usage Monitor: This device is intended to measure the power and energy usage of any appliance that you can plug into a wall outlet. There is a 2" LCD screen and five buttons. The buttons are marked from left to right: Volt, Amp (current), Watt/VA (Watts or Vrms Arms), Hz/PF (Frequency or Power factor) and KWH/Hour (KiloWatt hours or hours).

Try them out!

Simply ask about them at the circulation desk
at the Enfield Public Library

Homeowners included in mercury disposal ban


Effective January 1, 2008, RSA 149-M:58 bans the disposal of all products containing intentionally-added mercury in landfills, transfer stations and incinerators, regardless of the amount of mercury they contain. Homeowners and businesses alike are affected by the ban on such items as thermometers, thermostats, electrical switches, mercury button cell batteries and fluorescent light bulbs, including compact fluorescent bulbs. Because mercury is a highly toxic chemical that does not break down, and accumulates in our bodies over time, it should not be discharged to the environment.

There are several legal disposal options for homeowners. Homeowners can bring spent bulbs and mercury-containing products to their town facility, if the town accepts them, or to a household hazardous waste collection event. Currently, some 60 municipal programs accept fluorescent lamps and of those, about 29 also accept mercury-containing products. Homeowners and small businesses may take up to 6 fluorescent lamps to participating TrueValue and Ace hardware stores where the lamps will be accepted and recycled at no cost to the consumer.

Additionally, mercury restrictions in RSA 149-M:51 prohibit the sale of many mercury-added products in the state, including thermometers and other measuring devices, switches, relays and thermostats. The sales prohibition on measuring devices will take effect on January 1, 2008. Switches, relays and thermostats sales will be restricted as of July 1, 2008.

For a more comprehensive list of common mercury-added products and recycling options, visit the N.H. Pollution Prevention Program webstie at www.des.nh.gov/nhppp/Mercury/Hgproducts.asp. For a list of household hazardous waste collection events and options for proper product recycling, go to www.des.nh.gov/HHW/. For more information, contact Paul Lockwood at (603) 271-2956 or paul.lockwood@des.nh.gov.
