Memorial Field closed due to elevated lead levels - The New ...
UNH students exiting the Whittemore Center after catching a hockey game or utilizing the gym will no longer see athletes practicing on the bright green Memorial Field. On Saturday, Oct. 20, university officials announced the closure of the artificial turf field due to elevated lead levels detected in dust samples.
The field had been deteriorating for quite some time, and it was this deterioration that prompted the finding of lead. The field was constructed in 2002, and renovation was scheduled for the upcoming fiscal year. Now, however, UNH officials are ?developing an earlier timeline for replacement,? according to a press release issued by the university. No details as to exactly when the field will be replaced or how it will be financed have been released; even campus recreation officials were not sure.
Artificial fields typically degrade after 10 years, so this deterioration was not out of the ordinary. Campus Recreation Director Stacey Hall confirmed that this was the result of normal wear and tear. ?
Closing the field was more of a precaution than a response to an actual threat, as the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services reported that adults would not be at risk due to the lead content.
However, children six years old and younger would be at risk, according to the department.
While the Centers for Disease Control found in 2008 that there were no reported cases where elevated blood levels in children were linked to artificial turf fields, the university felt that closing the field was the safest thing to do.
In a press release, UNH Director of Athletics Marty Scarano issued a statement regarding the field?s closing.
?The safety and well-being of our students, staff and faculty, as well as our many visitors, is of the utmost importance,? Scarano said. ?We felt any risk of exposure to lead was too much and that closing the field was the right thing to do.?
Hall agreed that safety remains a top priority, and stated that campus recreation and athletic facilities are carefully monitored on a regular basis. Personnel reported the deterioration of Memorial Field, thus prompting the testing.
?Routine maintenance is an important thing,? Hall said.
Memorial Field hosted many sports, including field hockey, lacrosse and ultimate Frisbee. While many of the intramural and club sports teams practice at Boulder Field, Bremner Field, and the new student recreation field (all located near Cowell Stadium), varsity team practices and games must be rescheduled and relocated. The athletic department declined to comment as to how this will affect its athletes.
Although the lower fields are now crowded, and scheduling is more difficult, some students see the closure of the field as a good thing.
?The turf on Memorial Field was definitely not as good as the pro-grass on the lower fields,? said Tim Patterson, a junior Frisbee team member. ?We?re just happy that we get to play on a nicer field.?

Each photographer participating in this show has a unique style and clearly presents their images with their own vision.

Fine art photography has limitless possibilities, and by design Photographers Choice has given the viewer a wonderful sampling of some extraordinary talent.

No more paninis on the piazza? Rome bars tourists from eating at historical sites
Thinking of emulating Audrey Hepburn in the 1953 romantic comedy 'Roman Holiday' by eating a gelato on the Spanish Steps? Think again. It could prove to be a very expensive ice cream.

EnlargeIt is one of the simplest, most affordable pleasures of any visit to Rome: tucking into a piece of pizza, or a panino stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella, while marveling at the city?s ancient monuments. But not anymore.

As of this week, anyone caught snacking around the Eternal City?s centuries-old monuments and archeological sites could find themselves landed with a fine of up to 500 euros ($650).
In an attempt to bring a greater level of decorum to a city not known for order, Rome city council has passed a decree banning tourists from snacking in the historic center, which recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
That includes Piazza Navona, with its exquisite marble fountains, and the Pantheon, a vast Roman temple converted into a church. Other areas subject to the crackdown include Via dei Fori Imperiali, the broad avenue which links Piazza Venezia, Rome?s main square, with the Colosseum, the ancient arena where gladiators and slaves once fought.
Thinking of emulating Audrey Hepburn in the 1953 romantic comedy Roman Holiday by eating a gelato on the Spanish Steps? Think again. It could prove to be a very expensive ice cream.
"It is forbidden to encamp or erect makeshift shelters and stop to eat or drink in zones which have a particular historic or architectural value," reads the ordinance adopted by Rome city council this week.
The law is intended to ?guarantee the protection of areas of merit in the historic center,? it added.
In what one Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, called the start of a ?war on the panino," fines will range from 25 euros ($32) up to 500 euros ($650).
In many ways the new clamp-down reflects a schism in attitudes towards public eating between Italians and tourists.
Visitors may be happy to chow down on a slice of pizza or sandwich?on the steps of a Renaissance church or ancient Roman monument, taking a rest from the exhausting challenge of touring the city on foot. But that leaves most Romans aghast ? they rarely eat or drink on the street.
You don't see people guzzling enormous take-out coffees from paper cups; Italians go to a cafe for a cappuccino or a cafe macchiato, and drink it there, often standing up at the bar.
Eating in public is not done. I have even been told off for eating in a restaurant while reading a newspaper ? on the grounds that it will ruin my digestion, and that I should forget about work at least for an hour.
Rome is just the latest Italian city to try to curb indecorous behavior by tourists.
Similar bans have been adopted in Venice, where snacking is prohibited in St. Mark's Square and around famous landmarks, as well as Florence and Bologna.
But critics said the draconian new law could drive away tourists just as Italy needs them more than ever ? locals are spending less in restaurants, bars, and cafes as a result of a grinding recession and the imposition of austerity measures intended to tame the country?s 1.9 trillion euro national debt.
The center-right mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, is acting like a ?sheriff? and ?transforming Rome into a city of rules and regulations,? said Angelo Bonelli, an opposition councilor in the city administration.
Others said Rome had more serious problems to contend with ? streets are often strewn with rubbish, illegal hawkers and touts harass tourists outside St. Peter?s Basilica and the Colosseum, and cars are allowed to double- or even triple-park.
?To start pestering tourists while they are eating lunch out of a bag really seems the last of our problems,? says Dario Nanni, a member of the left-leaning Democratic Party.
Italy has a somewhat checkered history when it comes to law enforcement, so whether tourists munching on sandwiches and slices of pizza really will be slapped with heavy fines remains to be seen.

Nintendo Wii console drops to $130 in two-game bundle
