| Dean Surge Return to index of stories... |
But first. The upcoming Labor day weekend signals the start of some hard core political campaigning here in New Hampshire. The Presidential primary is just about four months away. And, as the long weekend approaches - a poll released this week shows former Vermont governor Howard Dean well out in front among the nine democratic presidential candidates. Dean has widened the gap between himself and his closest rival, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. In a poll of likely New Hampshire primary voters, Dean leads Kerry 38 to 17 percent. An earlier, Zogby International poll had Dean and Kerry in a virtual tie back in June. The rest of the field posted single numbers. Those aren't the only good numbers for Dean. He raised more than a million dollars over the internet in four days of a special campaign. Many of those donors were giving for the first time. |
| Intro Gillespie Return to index of stories... |
With 9 presidential candidates competing for the oportunity to run against President George Bush, no one can say there's been a shortage of Democrats here in New Hampshire. Wednesday, Republicans tried to counter that - by bringing in the Chair of the Republican National committee. Ed Gillespie told business leaders at the Politics and Eggs forum that the image of the Republican Party has changed. |
| Gillespie SOTs Return to index of stories... |
21:24:44 We are for the first time frankly in my lifetime being seen as the party of results in this country. more turn to repub pty believe repubs not running just to hold office but to get things done and help improve quality of life don't get elected to be something but to get something done and there's much to do in our country today 21:25:09 BUT BITE 21:26:41 i would welcome to be challeged in the public policy debate by a loyal opposition party with an alternative agendy of their own unfortuanately that seems to be too much to ask today because the dem party of john g kennedy who told us ask not waht your country can do but what you can doo for your country. they tell us not what they would do for their country once proud party of roosevelt who said nothing to fear but fear itself. all too often that's the case in place of solutions serve up raw emotion raw emotion serve up angry don't control majority the house governorships senate angry most of all they don't control white house offer steady stream of protest and pessismism.they still protest the 2000 elections, their strongest voices protested the removal of saddamm hussein from iraq protest jobs and econ growth package. protest judicial nominees without regard for facts protest and oppose the president their approach is all politics all the time I think it gros weary on the american people. 21:28:08 |
| Intro Benson Tolls Return to index of stories... |
Republican Governor Craig Benson also spoke at the Politics and Eggs forum. He commended Gillespie's efforts to spread the message that the Republican party needs to get things done and get them done quickly. |
| Benson Tolls Return to index of stories... |
20:43:50 One of the things he commented on was the one way toll both on Interstate 95 in Hampton. That's sort of the poster child of turning thing around and making things happen quickly. 20:41:02 |
| Intro Tolls Return to index of stories... |
The toll idea has been kicking around for a couple of years. But it wasn't until Governor Benson was recently forced to sit in traffic at the Hampton tolls that the plan was implemented. Fees at the busy toll have increased two fold for people heading in to the state and eliminated when they leave. Producer Phil Vaughn went to Hampton to find out how well the new system faired over the busy weekend. |
| NH Tolls Return to index of stories... |
narr 1 - Drive to New Hampshire from Massachuetts and you'll notice a change at the Hampton tolls on Interstate 95. narr 2 - To get into New Hampshire you pay - double. When it's time to leave, you're free to go. Clip - "It's fine. You end up breaking even. And on Monday, there wasn't much of a delay." Narr 3 - The idea is that one additional toll in the northbound lane will help reduce this. Southbound travellers keeping moving. Over this past weekend, the theory was put to the test. Clip - "We never promised that it would eliminate back-ups. That hasn't happened. We're looking at significant traffic. Sunday was the real test. We had about sixty-five thousand cars in the southbound lane and they kept moving, there were no back-ups." Narr 4 - The Department of Transportation put the number of vehicles from Friday to Sunday at more than 300,000. They also recorded something quite unusual. Clip - "The number of northbound cars were fewer than the number of southbound." Narr 5 - So these extra cars either arrived in the state before the weekend or they got off of 95 before the tolls. clip - "There has been much more traffic." Narr 6 - Linda Souther manages this gas station on Route 1 in Seabrook. Clip - "We have seen about double the business lately. I don't know though if it has anything to do with the tolls." Narr - No according to Bill Boynton. clip - "The assumption is that there would be diversion from 95. Our counters have shown that there is not any more additional traffic to the secondary roads." Narr - Drivers who d pay the toll will break even as long as they use the Hampton tolls when they leave the state. But not all do." Clip - "I've had reports of some truckers who will drive through then go to Portsmouth and then head over to Concord or Manchester and not take advantage of returning free. We don't know what to do about that yet." narr - The Department of Transportation will evaluate the effectivness of the program in six weeks. For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

As debate continues, New Hampshire is expected to see nearly half a million visitors this weekend. The institute for New Hampshire Studies at Plymouth State says, depending on weather, the number of visitors will be about two percent higher than last year. And it's estimated that they could spend about 80 million dollars at local businesses and resorts. |
| Gas Prices Return to index of stories... |
One thing is certain, travellers will be paying a lot more for gasoline in the granite state this holiday weekend. Triple A says the average price for a gallon of regular gas is a dollar 70-cents.That's compared to a dollar-41 cents a year ago. And if your vehicle takes premium unleaded - it waill cost you a dollar 91-cents this year compared to a dollar 59- cents a year ago. |
| Intro Do Not Call Return to index of stories... |
As the days of summer dwindle so do the days of telemarketing calls. With the countdown to the October deadline soon approaching we've heard a lot about the National Do Not Call List. The ever increasing popularity of the list started in July and is growing daily. |
| Do not call Return to index of stories... |
MOS - 1:01:14:10 - Susan - Well, we get about 12 calls a day and we had to get caller ID so we know who's calling us and it's awful, it's really awful, They call us all day long and it's really awful. We signed up for the do not call list the first day we heard about it so we're hoping it will cut down. MOS - 1:00:33:27 -Rob- Well it use to be a problem but now I have a cell phone I just got it recently and they haven't found me yet so it hasn't really been a problem. B-Roll - 3:15:51:12 - FTC website - web address. B-Roll - 3:17:58:18 - National Do not Call registry - close up on words. TRACK 1 - 203,000 New Hampshire residents have signed up on the do not call list joining 30 million nationally. TRACK 2 - The list is an idea that continues to grow in popularity and shows no signs of stopping. With all this in mind how much do we really know about the Do not call list? B-Roll - 01:13:52:03 - 01:14:04:25 - Kris at her desk, wide shot. TRACK 3 - Chief of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau, Kristin Spath. Kristin: 01:00:45:09 - The do not call list is a Federal List where any consumer who has a telephone. Actually any consumer who has a cell phone, pager, or a regular telephone line can call or sign up on the Internet for the Federal Trade Commissions Do Not Call List. Which is a national list, which is telling telemarketers that you do not wish to receive calls from them. B-Roll - CNN Feed - elderly woman TRACK 4 - It was created by the Federal Trade Commission due to the public's outcry against phone calls during dinner and the targeting of elderly. The list targets your basic telemarketer but exempts other groups, such as charitable organizations, surveys, and political campaigns. B-Roll - 1:04:54:19 - 1:05:32:01 - Dean walking towards the camera, close up. Kristin: 01:03:05:19 - Under Federal rules, political calls are not seen as telemarketing calls. There's a little difference in the state statute, the new law. If political calls are made automatically and it is a computer speaking instead of a live person, those types of calls do have to honor the federal do not call list. TRACK 5- Why so many exemptions? Kristin: 01:04:01:06 - What occurred was both the Federal Trade Commission and the FCC, Federal Communications Commission. Took a long and hard look at who would be harmed by being excluded from the list, who would be harmed by being included in the list. And they did a real balancing act of telemarketer's rights verses individuals privacy and protections rights, safety issues. And so the decision was basically looked at that non-profit charities should be exempt and also with political calls basically the decision was made that there was an issue of perhaps freedom of speech and they didn't really fall under the definition of telemarketer. B-Roll - 3:29:07:12 - Newspapers - dropping B-Roll - 3:29:48:00 - Close up on edge of pile of news papers. - Pan across the papers - close up on edges, pan across. Kristin: 01:04:48:16 - Originally the New Hampshire law exempt newspapers, and the newspapers were exempt so that they could call people on the do not call list. But if people had signed up on what is called a volunteer list called the direct marketers association the newspapers were required to honor that list. That was the biggest exemption under NH law. Also we call it sort of the small business exception. If a business made fewer than 5 telemarketing calls a month they would not have to honor the do not call list. Unfortunately what happened is the FCC has now come out and their jurisdiction is broader so our NH exemptions have been what we call preempted by federal law. So unfortunately we won't have those exemptions in New Hampshire after all. Many residents who signed up in July were confused when they did not see any immediate results. B-Roll - - 3:22:11:03 - Close up on Register, dates it will take effect. Kristin: 01:05:51:18 - If you sign up before Aug. 31 you will be in what we call the first wave of do not call registrants because on Sept. 1 the telemarketers are required to purchase the list for the first time. So if you are on the list by Aug. 31, Oct. 1 is the date that we will start enforcement and a consumer can start to say hey, your not suppose to call me anymore. STAND UP 4 - Kristin also says a consumer has three months after signing up before they start to see results. Kristin: 01:07:13:29 - One thing we do want to emphasize is that it will not end all calls. First of all there are certainly a lot of exemptions and a big one being having an established business relationship. That's where we expect most people will receive their calls. But as I mentioned earlier even if you have an established business relationship you can ask that particular business to still not call you and they are required to honor that. B-Roll - Person paying money or shots of Sears website. TRACK 6 - A business relationship is defined as any transaction that has occurred over the last 18 months. Kristin: 01:08:13:19 - The other thing that the FCC also included is, if a consumer makes an inquiry. So there is not an actually transaction but you do send in asking for information say about a trip or something like that. They are permitted to call up to 3 months if it was simply an inquiry. B-Roll- 3:25:54:21 - close up on Donotcall.gov - link B-Roll - 3:25:01:15 - Close up on words, call registry B-Roll - 3:20:17:25 - Close up on list of options - more info, file complaint, privacy and security etc. TRACK 7 - So what happens to your information when you sign up? Kristin: 01:09:03:08 - The information that is actually kept in the do not call registry, it is not by name. It is just by telephone number so the only information that is actually available are telephone numbers. And there are certain groups that are able to obtain the list but um they have to do it for a legitimate purpose and they have to actually sign off and authorize that they will only use it for it's intended purpose which is to scrub their list so that they do not call people that are on the list. B-Roll - 01:13:31:00 - 01:13:51:07 - Wide shot of Laura and Kris talking in office TRACK 8 - Kris says she thinks the list will make organizations reevaluate their use of telephone solicitation. Kristin: 01:10:10:04 - Because I think the public has made it very clear they don't like it. So I would expect actually that it would have the opposite affect and that not only telemarketers but the charities and the politicians will be more creative in reaching out to the people they need to reach out to. TRACK 9 - I'm Laura Fulmer for New Hampshire Outlook. |

| Intro Text Messaging Return to index of stories... |
As one fellow mentioned in our previous story, he's hoping a cell phone will keep him off the list of telemarketers. At least for a while. And if you've ever had to use a cell phone in an emergency, you know how handy they can be. But what would you do if you were hearing impaired? Celene Ramadan takes a look at how new cell phone technologies are helping one family stay connected. |
| Text Messaging Return to index of stories... |
TJ WANTS TO ONE DAY MOVE TO HOLLYWOOD. TJ - "I hope to someday be on the big screen" FOR THE ANDERSEN FAMILY, COMMUNICATION ACROSS COUNTRY MAY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST - BECAUSE TJ'S PARENTS ARE DEAF. BUT TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE IT EASIER FOR THIS FAMILY TO COPE WITH BEING APART. NOW THEY ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH CELL PHONES BY USING TEXT MESSAGING. TJ My mom saw a commercial about cell phones and she went to a place called the River Valley Club where she got our two cell phones and um, she asked the lady how she could use the cell phone in a way - because my parents are hearing impaired and then the lady told her about text messaging. Kim I thought that was fantastic because when I was looking at the TV and I thought wow, why can't we use the cell phone for text messaging because I think it would be better for all of us. TJ I was just like 'what is text messaging' I was all like 'what is this and how does it work?' and I just went onto my cell phone and I went under text messaging and I just saw it and then so I just did it and so I figured out how to do it and my parents were still reading all the manual instructions I was just like "okay! This is how you do it". TEXT MESSAGING WORKS LIKE EMAIL OVER THE PHONE. YOU CAN WRITE SHORT MESSAGES TO ANOTHER PHONE AND SEND THEM INSTANTLY. Tom - It helps me to communicate with other hearing impaired people like my wife and my family and with my son because I cannot use the phone, because I'm deaf. FOR THIS FAMILY, TEXT MESSAGING HAS MADE COMMUNICATING ABOUT EVERYDAY THINGS MUCH EASIER TJ We usually send like - I usually say, like, where are you when are you coming home, do you need anything at the store - it's just - yeah. It's just like a telephone like what you would ask if you were on the telephone. If you were to call them up and stuff. Tom - If I do some grocery shopping, I would ask her if there is anything that she needs or she could text message me to remind me of something. How were you able to communicate before you used text messaging? Well, basically I had to tell them where I was going before - but other than that, we had no other way of communication. So this has really changed our lives a lot. TEXT MESSAGING HAS ALSO HELPED THE ANDERSENS PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED. Tom We have not had a real emergency but we did some testing - like a drill practice to make sure we know what we're supposed to do and how we're handle it - the communication in the event of an emergency. TJ It would be helpful to use in an emergency because say my dad and I were driving on the way home and our car tipped off the road. If there was still coverage we could just text message my mom and say our car flipped over and we would say where the interstate was and everything. BUT, MUCH LIKE SPEAKING ON A CELL PHONE THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM WITH SIGNAL STRENGTH IN AREAS WITHOUT TOWERS. TJ - I have an uncle who lives in South Strafford and our cell phone does not work up there so one time my mom took me up there and my dad was still in work and he didn't know he had no idea where we were and so my mom had to drive into the interstate or the area just to get coverage to tell him where we are. KIM The one main thing we would like to have - cell phones to have the coverage all over the united states. THE FUTURE OF WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED LOOKS PROMISING; WITH THE ADVENT OF PDAS, WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTIONS AND PORTABLE TTYS. WITH THAT, THE FUTURE OF TJ BEING ABLE TO FOLLOW HIS DREAMS WHILE STILL BEING CONNECTED TO HIS FAMILY IS ALSO LOOKING UP. TJ All I can say is it's just really changed our lives in the way of communication and I hope that it will change the lives of other families. FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK, I'M CELENE RAMADAN. |
| Intro Ledgewood Farm Return to index of stories... |
Technology plays a role in just about every facet of our lives these days. Including in the most unlikely places. Take farming, for example. New Hampshire's, long, frigid winters and cool springs can curtail an already short growing season. There is a farmer in Moultonboro, however, who is working to give New Hampshire farmers a bit of an edge. Susan Hajdu reports. |
| Ledgewood Farm Return to index of stories... |
Dissolve between several shots of farm crops on sunny days Narr 1 - New Hampshire's natural beauty is one of the benefits to farming here. But don't let the sunny skies fool you. Ed 1-00:43 "The biggest challenge we have, of course, is the weather, it's mighty cold in January & February and March but that's when plants need to be growing." Narr 2 - Ed Person is a farmer from Moultonboro -- he has been since his early school days. That means he's experienced many cool springs, not exactly a farmer's best friend. Ed 1-:50ish "So we use the greenhouses to get a jump on it, so that in June when the customer is ready to buy we have plants to sell and vegetables to sell." Sound of Ed working/talking in greenhouse/high tunnel Narr 3 - Ed not only uses greenhouses, he makes frames for them. Some end up heated, while others - like these high tunnels - do not. Ed 1-4:17 Sue: "What is a high tunnel? Ed: A high tunnel is a greenhouse without the heating system and without the ventilation system. So it's just a structure to protect the plants, give them a little bit of frost-protection, a little enhanced temperature over night so plants can grow faster." Narr 4- Ed's goal is simple - to help farmers make a living. To do that in New Hampshire, he needed to find a way to extend the growing season -- affordably. Ed 1-2:02 "We started working with the University of New Hampshire back in the mid-'60s on some season extending work. And it was using row covers like what we're still using today. Dr. Otho Wells's was one of the pioneers in plastic research and we worked with him quite a bit on the farm to do some season extending work." Narr 5 - Row covers evolved into structures covered in plastic. Ed bought a couple of high tunnels, but they soon collapsed. Ed 1-2:35ish "So we bought some equipment and started building our own houses and of course it manifested into a business. As people found out about me, it was "Can you make one for me? Can you make one for me?" and pretty soon here it is selling 325, 350 houses a year." Several shots showing the structure - outside & in Stand up - 4-00:58-1:08 "The cost of a commercial size high tunnel like this one is about $4,000. Depending on size, high tunnels can range from $2,000-$5,000." Cover beginning clip with person working inside tunnel Ed 1-7:13 "It's one of those things where you have to spend money to make money. Ed 1-1:10ish "When it's February, you're ready to go again. So you're willing to spend some money to invest in structures that will do that and greenhouse and high tunnels are one way to do it." Dissolve to shots of John Moulton farm Ed 1-32ish "I have some customers that have as many as 20-25 greenhouses and high tunnels because they realize that the investment is worth the production that they get as a result of spending the capital." 7:43 John 4-15:05 "This would be our oldest 28 foot wide house, we've had it now for nearly 10 years and plan to use it for another 10 years or more." Narr 6 - John Moulton is a farmer in Meredith. Seven of Ed's frames dot his landscape. John 4-16:32 Sue- "Is it essential to have greenhouses and high tunnels, as a farmer? The high tunnels give our farms diversity whereas so much of our growing depends on the climate, depends on the weather, to have something that we can modify the environment, modify the weather effects with, is important economically. When the conditions are tough outside, we can control the conditions in our greenhouse so it offers that diversity, which we all need." 17:09 Dissolve to shots of Ed's farm, then to tomatoes 1-19:20 Tomatoes in particular are a warm season crop, they love to grow in South America. And so here we've really got them out of their environment and so below 60 degrees, a tomato plant will basically stop growing. If you have one 50 degree night, it can set it back as much as 3 days, so it will take three days to recover so you don't have consistent growth. With the high tunnels and with the greenhouse, we can maintain that 64 degrees so they think it's summer all day and night so they just keep growing. Narr 7 - And it's not only northern farmers who are looking to Ed's high tunnels for relief from the weather. Ed 1-14:40ish "Even Florida growers are putting up high tunnels b/c they're tired of having their crops freeze those two nights in January and lose the whole tomato crop or strawberry crop after they plant. So high tunnels are making huge inroads in U.S. agriculture." 14:54 Shot and sound of Ed working @ 1-23:24 to 1-30:00 Ed 1-20:30 Sue "What do you enjoy about the business most of all? I think seeing things grow is exciting and playing with the tractors and so forth. And in the greenhouse business it's having a customer call me back up or send an e-mail like the one I got this morning saying, "You sold me a high tunnel last summer, I'd like another one in July." Which means that they had good luck with it, they made money with it and their satisfied with my product and so they're ready to take another step forward." 20:58 Narr 8 - For NH Outlook, I'm Susan Hajdu. |

Gillespie says Democrats are defining themselves only by what they're against and are offering nothing but a steady stream of protests and pessimism. He says while President Bush is trying to rid the world of terrorism, the Democrats are only talking about ridding the White House of Bush. Gillespie spoke in Bedford at Politics and Eggs, a forum that brings together business leaders and politicians leading up to the New Hampshire primary. He's expected to raise 15 thousand dollars for the State Republican Party at a fundraiser tonight. AP-NY-08-27-03 0943EDT |

NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK Air Date/Time: 8/27/03 22:00 HOST: Allison McNair Length: 4:00 minutes In this edition of New Hampshire Outlook, NHPTV's nightly news magazine, as the holiday weekend approaches so do the travellers. We'll find out how the new I-95 toll system is working. Cell phones for the hearing impaired. We'll introduce you to a technology that's making it easier for families to communicate. And later, stay with us to see how technology and farming go hand in hand. But first. The upcoming Labor day weekend signals the start of some hard core political campaigning here in New Hampshire. The Presidential primary is just about four months away. And, as the long weekend approaches a poll released this week shows former Vermont governor Howard Dean well out in front among the nine democratic presidential candidates. Dean has widened the gap between himself and his closest rival, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. With 9 presidential candidates competing for the oportunity to run against President George Bush, no one can say there's been a shortage of Democrats here in New Hampshire. Wednesday, Republicans tried to counter that - by bringing in the Chair of the Republican National committee.

NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK Air Date/Time: 8/27/03 22:00 HOST: Allison McNair Length: 4:00 minutes In this edition of New Hampshire Outlook, NHPTV's nightly news magazine, as the holiday weekend approaches so do the travellers. We'll find out how the new I-95 toll system is working. Cell phones for the hearing impaired. We'll introduce you to a technology that's making it easier for families to communicate. And later, stay with us to see how technology and farming go hand in hand. Republican Governor Craig Benson also spoke at the Politics and Eggs forum. He commended Gillespie's efforts to spread the message that the Republican party needs to get things done and get them done quickly. The toll idea has been kicking around for a couple of years. But it wasn't until Governor Benson was recently forced to sit in traffic at the Hampton tolls that the plan was implemented. Fees at the busy toll have increased two fold for people heading in to the state and eliminated when they leave. Producer Phil Vaughn went to Hampton to find out how well the new system faired over the busy weekend.

With the countdown to the October deadline soon approaching we've heard a lot about the National Do Not Call List. The ever increasing popularity of the list started in July and is growing daily. As one fellow mentioned in our previous story, he's hoping a cell phone will keep him off the list of telemarketers. At least for a while. And if you've ever had to use a cell phone in an emergency, you know how handy they can be. But what would you do if you were hearing impaired? Celene Ramadan takes a look at how new cell phone technologies are helping one family stay connected.

And later, stay with us to see how technology and farming go hand in hand. Technology plays a role in just about every facet of our lives these days. Including in the most unlikely places. Take farming, for example. New Hampshire's, long, frigid winters and cool springs can curtail an already short growing season. There is a farmer in Moultonboro, however, who is working to give New Hampshire farmers a bit of an edge. Susan Hajdu reports.
