Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. I'm Allison McNair. November 15 is National Philanthropy Day. Coming up we are going to focus most of our program on the state of giving in the granite state. But first we begin with some of the other stories making headlines Thursday.
script iconBerlin Prison
Return to index of stories...
There's still a chance that the city of Berlin may become the site for a new federal prison.
Last week, voters turned down the idea a close vote. But some business people are hoping to get 3000 signatures on a petition to bring the proposal back before the City Council and federal officials.
Mayor Robert Danderson says having the new attempt come from business owners and unemployed mill workers will give it more credibility.

script iconCancer Rate
Return to index of stories...
Thursday marks the 25th anniversary of the Great American Smoke-out.
The American Cancer Society of New Hampshire is trying to get all six New England states to
raise their cigarette taxes in hopes of steering young people away from cigarettes.
New government figures show New Hampshire women are more likely to develop lung cancer than women in other states.

Since September 11 we have seen an avalanche of giving and volunteering all across the nation. It's been wonderful and necessary. But some may wonder how this outpouring of giving affects local efforts. November 15th is National Philanthropy Day, so we thought it might be a good time to discuss that question. But first, to see if the state of Philanthropy has changed in New Hampshire, we thought we'd revisit a piece by Chip Neal - when he took a look at the state of Philanthropy here in New Hampshire just one year. He began by asking poeple for the definition of philanthrhopy.

Before we end let's spend some time on the particular problems that the north country is facing right now with the loss of the mills up there. But first, let's look at this piece that our producer Chip Neal did last week. He visited the United Way of Northern New Hampshire in Berlin and found their program and the agencies they serve in a deep struggle with the recession, the closing of the mills, growing needs, and shrinking dollars.

Over the past 10 years a form of teaching called "service learning" has been catching on all over the country. According to the Kellog Foundation's "Learning in Deed" initiative more than 12 million American students are participating in service learning projects this year. Here in New Hampshire that number is conservatively estimated at 4100. Simply stated service learning is a way of teaching that links community service experiences to classroom instruction. Chip Neal visited two service learning projects at the Moultonborough Academy.

Annalee Dolls lays off more workers
-- Annalee Dolls has laid off nearly half of its
remaining workforce in Meredith.
About 40 production workers were let go yesterday, as the
world-famous dollmaker recieved its first shipment of dolls made in
Hong Kong. At its peak, the company employed more than 300 people.
Company President Charles Thorndike said about 50 employees will
remain in Meredith designing dolls and handling distribution,
finance and customer service.
He said the weakening economy and trends in the gift market
forced his company to follow most others and send their production
work overseas.
