| National MLK Return to index of stories... |
The birthday of civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. was celebrated all across the nation Monday. The holiday was marked with various parades, speaking events and breakfasts. People lined up for blocks at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. The museum is located on the site that formerly housed the Lorraine Hotel. Dr. King was assassinated there on April 4-th, 1968. |
| Intro March Return to index of stories... |
King's family members spoke at community events across the country. His son told audiences that more needs to be done to help people overcome poverty and improve education. He said the day shouldn't be looked at as just another day off. but a day for community service. That's the commitment hundreds of people made around the state on Monday. Our coverage begins with Ben French in Portsmouth. |
| MLK March Return to index of stories... |
TRACK: Marchers gathered at Prescott Park, the first stop on Portsmouth's black heritage trail. This the third year Martin Luther King Day has been commemorated in the granite state. T1: HILSON: 42:31: I've said sometime ficsosly that we are the first state to be the last state to recognize doctor king. 42:38 Reverend Authur Hilson who marched with Martin Luther king during the civil rights movement welcomed those who braved the cold to participate in Monday's walk. Hilson talked about how young people can appreciate king's message today. HILSON: 45:00: young people are talking about in their own schools voilence and so his messaga resonates to them. whe you have students who see death almost as a way of life in schools that thers killings and violence, it makes them stop and think and so again to pull forth the words of dr. King and I alwasyy say his voice still rings like a claron call down the chord of history, it speaks to the heart it speaks t the rightness of nature, that we must learn to live together. King talked about the beloved community, until we can learn to live together as a people, instead we'll parish as fools. 45:38 Seth Marbin: City Year New Hampshire 37:17: I wasn't around for the march on Washington and none of the young people who will be here with us today were. But this is sort of our chance to stand up in what we believe in and you gonna see people out here today with signs and banners that don't just represent race issues but issues of class, issues of school bullying , and trying to really personalize all the issues that king talked about, non violence and really giving back through service. 37:39 shots of Amy and her group TRACK: Amy Helton brought 25 third, fourth and fifth graders from the YMCA In Portsmouth. She's integrating today's march with an after school program she's teaching. Amy Helton; Portsmouth YMCA 18:04: the program itself is a little bit different than your basic after school program the kids have different clubs we talk about things such as diversity and justice and equality. This months focus was on government and civil rights and so this was the perfect forum for tem to exercise their ideas a little bit get involved and do something physical and we use that as a learning tool as well as their discussion and activities that they do. 18:26: Out STANDUP: This group from the YMCA is just one of over a dozen groups participating in today's march. In total it's estimated some 200 people turned out to march and honor the life of Dr. King. DR. Hilson 46:19: these young people that are marching to day they're marching in a safe environment, they're not being harassed, I mean for some of them it seems to be the in thing to do today, some of them are here for the shear folly of it, there may be some that understand. I doubt that many of them truly understand. It's a symbolic thin they're marching symbolically, but if this leads them to explore King's word s to explore the mission of Martin, to explore the mandate of a nation that should be providing if you will a sense of rightness and equality for all people., then I think some goods been done TRACK: The march ended at Portsmouth middle school and that's where the service celebration began. The march was sponsored by City Year New Hampshire. The organization promotes youth involvement in community. For many participants, King's emphasis on volunteerism was their inspiration to give back to their communities. GROCERY BAG PROJECT SHOTS Paulina, service project volunteer 42:88 We have the kids mark on the bags messages about equality and justice then we send them back to the supermarkets and they will put the customers food back in the bags and we want to show them about equality and justice because they may not know about it. 48:44 AMY Hilton; Portsmouth YMCA 20:16 especially in this time with the things that happened in September, kids need something to hold on to like adults need something to hold on to and I think its vital for them to be involved in such a good positive message rather than some of the negativity that's out there. 20:33 |

Today's national holiday meant that the stock markets and exchanges were closed. So too were Federal, state and many local offices. However, state liquor stores, some corporations and people in retail headed to work throughout the state today. At least two school districts also conducted business as usual. |
| affordable housing Return to index of stories... |
When you think of the most expensive places to find housing in the U-S, most likely California comes to mind. But now - according to one building organization - you can add the Portsmouth-Rochester area of New Hampshire to the list. The area is ranked tenth in a survey of least-affordable housing by the National Association of Home Builders. The top nine are all in California. The list is compiled each year by comparing family incomes and home prices for metropolitan areas around the country. This latest survey is based on third-quarter numbers for 2001. |
| Summer Rental Return to index of stories... |
It seems business is booming when it comes to booking summer vacation rentals in New Hampshire. A manager at Preferred Properties Vacation Rentals - located on Lake Winnepesaukee - says people are forgoing trips out west or to Disney World and choosing instead to spend their time by a lake. The vacation rental office says bookings are more than 35 percent ahead where they were at this time last year. And - agents say - people also are making reservations for two weeks instead of one. |

The weather may have been a bit snowy and blustery today, but it's not enough for the Tamworth Sled Dog Race. The annual Lakes Region event is the oldest in the area and has been going on for nearly half a century, but lack of ice is putting the kibosh on the fun. The event, scheduled for the 26th and 27th has been cancelled. |
