Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
script iconNewington
Return to index of stories...
Residents of the town of Newington will have the opportunity tomorrow night to voice their opinion on a controversial proposal that - if implemented - would dramatically alter both the state and federal government. At hand is whether the seacoast town should secede from the state of New Hampshire. The idea stems from a petition signed by 52 of the town's 850 residents - which was submitted to the Board of Selectmen earlier this month. It's in response to some residents' long-running frustration with the statewide property tax. Joining me now to discuss the petition and it's future are Chairman of the Newington Board of Selectmen Christopher Cross, and Selectman Cosmas Iocovozzi.
script iconImpeachment Site

The law firm that helped state Supreme Court Chief Justice David Brock win
acquittal in his impeachment trial is touting that accomplishment and providing information on the trial via the internet.
The Law Firm of Akin and Gump is providing trial transcripts, video interviews
with Brock's lawyers as well as analysis of tactics. Brock's lead lawyer, Michael Madigan, says the intent is educational and not commercial because it was the only such
impeachment trial in New Hampshire history. Madigan says his team
won because it outflanked the House prosecutors. You can see the site for yourself at www - dot - akin gump cases-dot-com.

script iconWild Horse Auction
Return to index of stories...
Wild horses and burros have found new homes in New Hampshire and elsewhere around the region.
The Bureau of Land Management rounds up horses out west as part of a program to reduce overcrowding on federal land. This weekend 32 horses and 12 burros were adopted in Somersworth. The animals came from Oregon, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. It was only the second time the government has held an auction like this in New Hampshire, but organizers said it went so well that they will probably be back next year.

A unique hotel room had a visit from its name sake over the weekend.
The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in Dixville Notch welcomed Governor Jeanne Shaheen and her family to dedicate the state's first-ever "Governor's Suite." The luxury accomodations feature a circular shaped bedroom adjoining a separate sitting room. The project was one of the final stages of a plan to restore all 204 guest rooms at the popular North Country resort. The man who came up with the idea for the Governor's Suite sees it as having special significance for the state.

When you hear the words Ciao Italia, you can't help but think of the show hosted by Mary Ann Esposito. Just a few weeks ago Mary Ann and her crew finished taping segments for the show's 12th season here at New Hampshire Public Television. Recently, I sat down with Mary Ann at her Seacoast home to talk about the program and life before Ciao.

I had a catering business, I'd prepare meals for up to 100. I remember the first catering job. I charged ten dollars a person for a wedding. I came home at 3 in the morning the day of the wedding and my husband woke up and said I hope you learned your lesson. Cooking wasn't my first love. I taught high school history. I have a bigger classroom now, the television audience. And the subject is food. Food and history you cannot separate them 11:08

12:31 I was travelling a lot in Italy back and forth studying at different schools and as I kept going I thought what a great culture a great heritage. I didn't really realize this until late in life. My home story Italian was spoken, old world food part of me grew to dislike this and that's what made me want to go to college to teach. First trip to Italy how impressive like this big minestrone soup. This light bulb went off. I loved being in Italy seeing things Just sparked an interest and then Ciao was born.

New drunken driving sentence implemented for first time
-- For the first time, a New Hampshire drunken
driving sentence includes a device that won't let a driver start
his car if he's been drinking.
Forty-five-year-old David Allen pleaded guilty to drunken
driving last week. In exchange for a more lenient sentence, he
agreed in Hooksett District Court to equip his car with an ignition
interlock.
The device prevents Allen from starting his car until he first
breathes into a tube and satisfies an on- board computer that he
has not consumed alcohol. It's the first sentence in New Hampshire
to include the new technology. Allen also had his license suspended
for three years because of a previous conviction,so his ignition
lock system won't be used until 2004.
