Water Quality - Townhouse Pond Milton New HampshireWater Quality - Townhouse Pond Milton New Hampshire

Recent tests at Townhouse Pond in Milton, NH indicate that there are high levels of chlorophyll, a dangerous component of "Blue Green Algae".  Chlorophyll can impact the ponds environment and could be harmful to humans as well. 

The troubling aspect of this is that Milton's Town Beach is located on Townhouse Pond and two of the towns wells are close by.

Slow Down ..              

I read a poem this week emailed to me by a good friend  .. I normally just delete this stuff, but it really grabbed my attention.  The poem was written by a teenage girl with cancer and was forwarded by her doctor to pass on.

It grabbed me because probably like most of you Im running from one appointment to another and only stopping long enough to check voice mails and to make more calls.  Well about a year ago my father died unexpectedly in a tragic accident.  What a life changing event that was for me.  I quickly realized that life is in fact short and you never know when your time may be up.  You see I have three daughters, ages 13, 10 and 5 and the only thing I could think about after my dad passed was taking that little extra time to stop and spend with them. 

So in these troubled times of real estate I know most of you are probably working twice as hard to get that next deal, but remember when your gone nobody will remember what homes you sold, but they will remember all the little times you spent with them building memories.

So in leaving I want you to slow down .... enjoy the poem

Slow Dance



This is a poem
written by a teenager with cancer.



She wants to see how many
people get her poem.



It is quite the poem. Please pass it on.



This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
New York
Hospital .



It was sent
by

a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE POEM.




SLOW DANCE



Have you ever
watched kids



On a merry-go-round?



Or listened to
the rain



Slapping on the ground?



Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?



Or gazed at the sun into the fading
night?



You better slow down.



Don't dance so
fast.



Time is short.



The music won't
last.



Do you run through each day



On the
fly?


When you ask How are you?



Do you hear the
reply?



When the day is done



Do you lie in your
bed



With the next hundred chores



Running through
your head?



You'd better slow down



Don't dance so
fast.



Time is short.



The music won't
last.



Ever told your child,



We'll do it
tomorrow?



And in your haste,



Not see
his

sorrow?



Ever lost touch,



Let a good
friendship die



Cause you never had time



To call
and say,'Hi'



You'd better slow down.



Don't dance
so fast.



Time is short.



The music won't
last.



When you run so fast to get somewhere



You
miss half the fun of getting there.



When you worry and hurry
through your day,



It is like an unopened
gift....



Thrown away.



Life is not a
race.


Do take it slower



Hear the
music



Before the song is over.

FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL
COUNT.



Dear All: PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -
even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon
leave this world due to cancer.



This young girl has 6 months left
to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to
live their life to the fullest, since she never will.



She'll
never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a
family of her own.



By you sending this to as many people as
possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name
that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name
to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know
that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's
not even your money, just
your time!



PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.

Worried about this years flooding in Rochester New Hampshire?

Well anyone living in the Rochester area knows the past few years have been very interesting when its come to our flooding rivers, streams and dams.  The 100 year flood ... has hit us twice now ... imagine that.  Well with the record snow falls we had this year and the up coming spring thaw and rainy season begs to ask will we have another flood season.  Several of our roads and bridges have now been repaired or replaced .. some still under construction.  So are we any better off and will our homes be safe?

I can tell you it was very difficult to get around when roads and bridges were closed for several days and some even for a year.  If you have any concerns of this years spring thaw and you live in one of those areas of possible flooding you can visit the city of Rochester's website to view important safety information.

Check this link out for your safety: City of Rochester's Flood Preparedness plan

When purchasing a home in Rochester New Hampshire you need someone with experience to know which areas where impacted by the floods.  To see homes for sale in Rochester you can visit Scott Patterson of RE/MAX Executives at http://www.moviongwithscott.com/ oe email me at scottpatterson@remax.net

Rochester New Hampshire's new garbage collection program

CART (Collecting All Recyclables &  Trash)

Start Date to be May 12th, 2008

After some great debate in the city chambers and lengthly review of the city's agreement with the Waste Management facility located at Rochester Neck Rd, Rochester has oppted to implement its new CART (Collecting All Recyclables & Trash) program for the city's garbage collection.

The goal is to make garbage collection more streamlined and efficient.  This new collection system will increase the collection rate of recyclable materials and keep them from being dumped into the current land fill which will soon reach its maximum capacity.

The city has been using a pilot program in some parts of the city to see how this program would do ... now it will be implemented city wide.  If your living in Rochester or thinking of moving here visit the link below to see the CART Brochure located on the city's website.

Are print ads in magazines and news papers for Real Estate a dieing breed?

Every new year I ponder over my expenses from the previouse one and wonder where will I spend my money for advertising?  I have religously advertised my listings in magazines and on a few occaissions in the local newspaper with very little to no response from them.  I have tried a variety from fancy colored pictured ones to the basic black and white. 

Does anyone have any luck with this or is it a dieing breed?  Is it the type of homes, price or location thats advertised?

Sellers seem to insist on it, but do you get the return on investment?
