| Football Suspensions Return to index of stories... |
Talk of the traditional Thanksgiving Day football game caused some problems at the Nashua school board meeting last night. Three high school football players - suspended because they were at a party where alchohol was served - asked to be allowed to play in the Thanksgiving day game. In exchange, the three team captains asked that they be suspended for two other games and perform 100 hours of community service. The board turned down the boys request. Some people there demanded to know how each school board member voted. Police were called in to calm things down. |
| Luge for Franklin Return to index of stories... |
Think extreme sports - then think New Hampshire - and the first sport that probably doesn't come to mind is street luge. But that may change. The Franklin city council unanimously voted last night to pursue the idea of bringing the extreme sport of street luge to the city. Tim Cayer of Gravity Sports International says he's already taken a test luge ride down a rarely -used road in the city and says it is everything he's looking for. Cayer said Franklin ultimately could hold world-class events, specifically qualifying for extreme events. There also would be classes for novices and amateur races. |

| Intro Internet Safety Return to index of stories... |
An Exeter father can look at school internet history logs. That was the decision in Rockingham Superior Court today. James Knight filed a lawsuit - after school officials decided not to use filtering programs on computers at school. Educators argued they used supervison to make sure students didn't get into trouble on the internet. It is estimated that more than 10 million children use the internet. By the year 2002, that number is expected to reach 45 million. With so many children on-line, more and more parents and educators are asking: how safe is the internet? |

| Intro Art in Business Return to index of stories... |
Our next story is about an unusual relationship between a business and a regional group of artists. Chip Neal takes us inside the story from Portsmouth. |
| ART IN BUSINESS Return to index of stories... |
pKG BUILDING ART VO: This office building is a recent addition to the landscape here in Portsmouth, but that's not what the story is about. What this story is about the unusual refreshing way the owner of the building decided to decorate the inside. Man 1: Well, when we built the building Chip we needed to decorate the walls, and we started talking about putting art up; we talked to a few people who sell art for buildings--commericial buildings, and as we looked at, it we just realized that it was going to be a large expense and and that large expense because of the large expense the art wasn't going to move very often. So talking to Scott O'Connor--who is one of the owners of Ciento, one of the restaurants in the building--we decided that there were there was quite a grouping of local artists who could probably do a good job filling this building with art. Woman 1:One of things about this particular gallery is.though it is benefiting Michael and that he shows his work on his walls, he has also made it a point to truly benefit the artist the best way he can. Man 2: The artists get a 100 percent of the commission. they take no money here which is unheard of in the art world. Man 1: We have a jury, and the jury is composed of a couple of full-time jurors but.or permannet jurors but mostly artists in th community and it is a total of five people on the jury. We go out for a call for entry; artists submit their work. The jury takes a look at slides and some instances they actually look at the actual work and it is chosen through the jurying process. The artists then bring the work in at our expense we hang the work; we insure the work, and we later unhang the work at the end of a show or dismount the work, and we throw a reception at the start of every show for the artist and their invited guests as well as the general public. VO: Now is it working? Are you selling paintings? Man 2: I think it's great. I sold--I was in the second and third show I had work in myself and I sold one piece from each of those shows. And my understanding is that they've sold at least seven or eight pieces from each show and it seems that gradually more and more people are finding out about it and more people are coming to see the art work because the caliber of the art work is just quite good. Woman 1: One of the things that we don't look for is tourist art not for a prejudice reason outside the fact that there is a lot of outlets for them in this community. We look for quality, and we are always sure to have jurors on that can really detect the quality as well as the skill level as well as the expression level of an artist. Man 1: Even if we went out and bought all of the art that is in this building that might help one group of artists at that point in time. This way we hope we hope we are helping a number of local artists over a longer period of time. Woman 1: This has allowed a lot of artists--professional artists that show outside this community have shown for the first time in their own community in this gallery because there was no where for the space nor was there any where to show something that wasn't tourist art especially a large body of it so that's really done something for the local Seacoast artist. Man 1: There's really not any reason why all of the public space in this area and a lot of the communities could not be populated with the art of the local artist. |
