For help tracking the storm, let's go to to the top of the world and the Mount Washington Observatory.

| Londonderry Pipeline Return to index of stories... |
It looks like rennovations to a 50-year-old natural gas line in Londonderry will move forward - despite protest from some in that community. A State Energy Committee today gave the go ahead for the renovations. The pipeline passes by four of the town's five schools.The Londonderry Neighborhood Coalition, which sought to have the pipe moved at least 300 yards from the schools, said it is considering taking its fight to court. |
| School Protest Return to index of stories... |
Times must be good in Franklin. When students were asked to protest something - all they could come up with was the school policy that doesn't allow food and drink outside the cafeteria. Two high school english teachers wanted students to demonstrate the message of Henry David Thoreau's civil disobedience. Talk about active learning! About 50 students walked out of class yesterday, met in the cafeteria and then marched through the hallways. The students' actions didn't go unpunished. They will all receive detention. |

| intro guests Return to index of stories... |
For most people getting sent to jail would be the beginning of the end. Anne Marie told me, for her, it was a new beginning. She says she turned to violence as her only way out of an abusive relationship. Joining me in the studio to talk about Anne Marie's story are Cathy Beebe of the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and author Meg Kennedy Dugan. Meg has written a book about what to do after you leave an abusive relationship - It's called It's My Life Now. She also works with Americorps - a victim's advocate group. Anne Marie's story seems so extreme. . |

Here's a look at some of the stories making headlines in New Hampshire business. |
| Job Stress Legislation Return to index of stories... |
Sure an impending job evaluation may be nerve-wracking, but should you be able to sue over stress resulting from that evaluation? Senator Bev Hollingworth does't think so. The issue came up in August when the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled a state worker - who was depressed following a series of negative job evaluations - was entitled to disability payments. Hollingworth filed legislation today that would change the worker's compensation statute to prevent similar lawsuits in the future. |
| Charity Care Down Return to index of stories... |
First we learn New Hampshire could do better when it comes to charitable contributions and now - a new study shows hospitals have lessened the amount of charity health care they provide. The report notes that while most New Hampshire hospitals have increased their bottom line, free care has dropped during the last six years. The study recommends that hospitals review their charitable spending programs relative to their financial performance. |

| The Carpet Trade Return to index of stories... |
Manchester man’s Carpet Co-op now the world’s largest carpet seller MANCHESTER, N.H. — Computer and software firms are entering a new age, but a Manchester businessman is breathing new life into a timeless industry: the carpet trade. Howard Brodsky, 56, has been in the carpet and flooring business nearly all of his working life. Brodsky’s Manchester-based Carpet Co-op of America is now the world’s largest carpet seller. He said there are still as many opportunities in the carpet industry as there are in the growing technology trade. Brodsky said a strong economy has kept his privately-held carpet business rolling. In recent months, Carpet Co-op of America has acquired 450 other carpet franchises in 40 states and Canada. Despite his company’s growth, Brodsky has remained active in the community, helping to found the New Hampshire chapter of the Better Business Bureau. © 2000 Geo. J. Foster Co. |

Tuesday, December 19, 2000 Kits magical for Delta By BRAD LEIGHTON, Telegraph Staff leightonb@telegraph-nh.com NASHUA – Troll boogers and slime may not sound that attractive to some, but to Delta Education’s emerging Delta Kids retail products division, they are as magical as the ring of Christmas cash registers. In August the company won a Warner Brothers contract to develop and manufacture educational toys and kits based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling children’s novel, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone." Only four months later, 30,000 of the locally built Harry Potter science kits have hit the shelves in stores such as FAO Schwarz, Filene’s, and Imaginarium. Area shoppers can find the kits in the Pheasant Lane Mall. The prices range from $10 for smaller kits to $30 for more comprehensive ones. The three-year contract could be worth millions of dollars – depending on how well the kits sell, said Stefan Kohler, president of Delta Education. Some 4,000 to 5,000 kits can be manufactured each day if the kits sell well, he added. So far, so good. "In the Boston FAO Schwarz store, they sold the first 1,000 kits in 90 minutes. In the New York store, they sold out in three hours," Kohler said. On Monday morning, the six Potter kits will get national exposure as Michael Kralik, the company’s director of retail product development, and Louisa Walker, its director of national sales and marketing, will appear on "Good Morning America." Kralik – who has a doctorate in chemistry and the bespectacled look of a grown-up Harry Potter – has developed 10 different types of Potter science kits "for wizards and witches age eight to ancient." By February he will develop eight more kits. Each activity in the kits is taken right from the story-line of J.K. Rowling’s book, he said. The existing kits have lessons in chemistry, optics, endothermics and biology. Each kit has simple step-by-step instructions on how to conduct the experiments. Perhaps more importantly, the instructions explains why in a "What Happened" section. The educational aspect is the big contribution of Delta to the Warner Brothers’ trademark, Kohler said. Delta started over 25 years ago as a developer and manufacturer of educational products for teachers and schools. "Why would Warner Brothers go to someone who is not huge in retail? Because Delta has a great name in the educational market. We provide great student instruction in a creative and fun way. Each product has a key educational value and that is what we want. The main focus of the Delta Kids line is education," he said. "My job is easy. I just let our production crew’s creativity flow," he said. "We are working on new products in new markets for new customers and we have been successful. The difference ends up being our people." The kits were field-tested by employees who took them home to see how their own children liked them. The Warner Brothers contract was a big score for Delta, which employs 250 people in its Northwest Boulevard headquarters. Persistence was key, Walker said. "I just sent e-mails upon e-mails, all just asking for an hour to present our ideas." They got their chance. "Warner Brothers was extremely excited with what we showed them," Walker said. Warner Brothers checks on each product as it is developed to ensure it is in line with their ideas of the trademark and with the intent of J.K. Rowlings, she added. So far they have accepted almost all of Kralik’s ideas. There was one – involving chameleon-like candy – where Warner Brothers balked. "We’ll probably use that idea somewhere else," he said. "Really, we are as big to Warner Brothers as they are to us because they really haven’t done any educational products before," said Walker, a former school teacher. The Potter kits can be used effectively in the playroom as well as the classroom, she added. Delta Kids also has contracts to develop 12 kits apiece for Zoom and the American Museum of Natural History. They now have over 60 products, including their worldwide Women in Science line, which highlights the accomplishments of 35 female scientists. The company is developing 48 more products for next year. Delta Education expects revenues of more than $50 million this year, up from $43 million last year. "We have been growing double digits in sales, and the Delta Kids line is another avenue of growth for us. We have talented people. All I have to do is let their creativity run wild," Kohler said.
