Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. I'm Allison McNair. Coming up we'll talk with a UNH sociologist about some disturbing new statistics on juvenile homicide. But first we begin with some of the other stories making headlines on Monday. |
| Supco Taxes Return to index of stories... |
The state Supreme Court has ruled towns sharing a cooperative school district can tax their residents at different rates. But the court says that decision doesn't change its 1997 ruling that widely varying property tax rates are unconstitutional if they're used to cover the state's share of education funding. The new ruling means towns must set rates and collect local property taxes to fund their share of the district's expenses. Poorer towns sharing a school district with more affluent communities had hoped the court would allow them to spread expenses across the district as a whole. |
| Energy Threat Return to index of stories... |
The largest gas utilities in New Hampshire and Massachusetts are "on alert." That after a new F-B-I warning that Osama bin Laden may have ordered strikes against North American gas facilities if he dies or is captured. While the F-B-I warning didn't single out any specific region or facility it did make specific mention of natural gas infrastructure such as pipelines. New England has more than 34-thousand miles of underground gas pipelines, in addition to above-ground tanks that store liquefied gas. On the next Outlook we'll look at safety and scurity issues with the head of the Governors task force on preparedness and security,. |

Anthrax and it's flu-like symptoms have been in the news for weeks. But, New Hampshire health officials point out the flu is the more dangerous of the two. Unlike anthrax, the flu can be passed from person to person. While most people who catch the flu only get sick, the virus kills some 20-thousand people a year, including dozens in New Hampshire. Health officials say flu shots are now widely available in the state, and urge people to get immunized to protect themselves and those around them. |

As David Finlkehor mentioned - homicide deaths of infants and young children - are often at the hands of their care givers. And sometimes they are the result of escalating abuse. Last year, in New Hampshire, the Division for Children Youth and Families got over 14 thousand calls from people who were concerned about a child's welfare. We spoke to an Exeter pediatrician to find out what role physicians play in detecting and reporting instances of child abuse. 1:55-2:21 |

| Record Traffic Return to index of stories... |
The state Department of Transportation reports record traffic on Thanksgiving day. More than 228-thousand vehicles passed through the tolls on the holiday. That's an eight-point-one percent increase over last year's record-breaking total of 211-thousand cars. At least some of that increase can be attributed to Friday's NASCAR race at the New Hampshire International Speedway. The race drew about 98-thousand people. It was originally scheduled for September 16th, but was postponed after the terrorist attacks. |
| Intro DCYF Return to index of stories... |
Nationally, over four million children are reported to be abused or neglected each year. In New Hampshire alone, The Division for Children Youth and Families takes in over fourteen thousand calls and assesses over six-thousand reports of abuse and neglect annually. Recently, producer Ben French was able to see how those often sensitive cases are handled in New Hampshire. |
| Gift give away Return to index of stories... |
A gift-store owner in Keene is making a gift of his store for the holidays. Emile Legere decided to close the Basket Store he runs at the Colony Mill Marketplace so he can spend more time on other business and with his family. But rather than selling off the contents, Legere will donate the proceeds from the shop's holiday sales to the children of Cedarcrest, a home for disabled children. Cedarcrest volunteers are staffing the store until the final sale is completed next month. |
| Indian Casino Return to index of stories... |
The owner of a 137-acre parcel of land near Mount Sunapee says a small Indian tribe is interested in putting a casino on the property. Property owner Paul Pouliot says the Cowasuck tribe would have to seek permission from the state, because the federal government doesn't recognize the tribe. Pouliot said legalizing casinos, and taxing their revenue, could solve New Hampshire's education funding problem. But the state legislature has so far blocked every effort to expand gambling in New Hampshire. Governor Jeanne Shaheen says she needs more information before she'll discuss the idea. |
| Energy Threat Return to index of stories... |
Natural gas utilities are on alert as F-B-I warns Osama bin Laden may have ordered strikes against North American gas facilities if he dies or is captured. A spokesman for KeySpan, the largest gas utility New Hampshire and Massachussetts, says the F-B-I warning didn't single out any specific region or facility. But it did refer to specific pieces of natural gas infrastructure, such as pipelines. New England has more than 34-thousand miles of underground gas pipelines, in addition to above-ground tanks that store liquefied gas. |
