NAT CHOCOLATES THERESA ANDERSON OWNS SWAN CHOCOLATES IN MERRIMACK. Theresa Well we actually have dreamed about opening a chocolate shop for 6 and a half years and it happened on vacation while your mind is free and anything is possible. We decided that should open a chocloate shop - life is too short. 9 months later we opened our store last May. MELANIE Often a woman will have an idea and a credit card and we say to them - you need more than that. You need a business plan, a business loan - you want a strategic plan to be successful. If you look around NH - there are businesses in garages - people strategzing - how can I move forward with this idea. MELANIE SABELHOUSE IS THE DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE US SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. HER JOB IS TO EDUCATE AND INSPIRE WOMEN LIKE ANDERSON. 40% of all businesses in New Hampshire are owned by women. But what's excting about it is you're growing at 2ce the rate as men. And frankly you can listen to this buzz in the room - there energy - women are excited about finding a concept and an niche and taking that idea and turning into something profitable. And that's what we're here to celebrate today THERESA AND HER HUSBAND MICHAEL'S SHARED DREAM HAS BEEN A REALITY FOR ONLY 5 MONTHS BUT ALREADY THEY'VE GAINED SOME PERSPECTIVE. MICHAEL We really weren't prepared to open our check book and write thousands of dollars of equiptment and furniture and things like that - we made every possible arrangement to achieve our goal. M - The challenges now don't seem so great - at the time they were these impossible hurdles but we just took it one step at a time and we were able to overcome them. M - It was a tremendous amount of work getting together all the resources - remember? T - Absolutely, absolutely - M - I think we aged considerably in that time period. It was definitely an experience I would do again in a minute. Networking, in my opinion, is everything. We look at the relationships that we've develop - we make people happy and the people who come in the door are the nicest people. People get a good experience and not just chocolates in their bags. And that is what network has done for us. It put us on the map when we didn't expect to be on the map so soon. MICHAEL Once we got started it was the fear of not doing it. Being in a business that just makes people happy is so great. We were afraid not to do it. Whatever your dream is - don't put it off. Don't wait until you retire, which is almost what we did because I have a feeling if we have waited we would have been too tired to do it. So, if you have a drea must go for it. There shouldn't be anything that you put in your own way to stop yourself. Michael and I believe that whatever you want most in life, wants you back. If there's something you're destined to do - things fall in place. And aside from the barriers and the obstacles you will find a way to make it happen. |
| Tyco Return to index of stories... |
Two former TYCO officials have moved from the BOARD-ROOM To the Court Room. Jury selection began Monday in the separate trials of former C-E-O Dennis Kozlowski and former financial Chief Mark Swartz. Koslowski is accused of turning the company, into his personal piggy-bank. Tyco's domestic headquarters are in New Hampshire. CFO Mark Swartz and another corporate officer is also facing charges he helped loot the company of nearly 600 million dollars. Prosecutors plan to detail Kozlowski's lavish lifestyle during the trial -- which is expected to last about two months. Kozlowski faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted. He says his millions came in board-approved loans and bonuses. The trial kicks off a STRING of upcoming cases against other corporate executives in the next few months. |

It was just about a year ago that TYCO International reached a 5 million dollar settlement agreement with New Hampshire regulators. The settlement ended the state's investigation into improper business practices. That MONEY is being used to create The Center for Public Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship. Here to talk about the center and business ethics are: JOHN FREEAR, Professor of Accounting and Finance at the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore School of Business and Economics and PATRICIA CRAWFORD, consultant to the state's Center for Public Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship. |
| Bishop's Residence Return to index of stories... |
Bishop's House Script Shots of residence Narr 1 - This is the home of Bishop John MacCormack. It was willed to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Manchester in 1947 by then mayor, George Trudel. For fifty years, bishops of Manchester have lived here. That may change. Ovide clip 605 "Demands on the church's finances are acute so the bishop has decided to reduce its costs associated with the property which are between 50,000-100,000 annually by making an alternate use of the property." Narr 2 - But it may not be that simple. Sound of Carolyn reading from will Narr 3 - Carolyn Disco is a Roman Catholic parishioner from Merrimack. She's also a member of Voice of the Faithful - a support group for survivors of sexual abuse within the Church. According to Carolyn, Trudel's will is specific regarding the use of the residence. Carolyn 3011 Reading from the will that specifies the conditions. Narr 4 - Ovide Lamontagne is an attorney for the Diocese of Manchester. He believes the property can be used in any way to support the personal living expenses of the bishop. Ovide 128 "The performance condition is that the bishop lives at the residence and there's no condition that says what would happen if he stops living there. The bishop is seeking to make an alternative use of the home - it could be the sale, lease, housing other members of the diocese there." Carolyn 2432 "Well that's a different reading of the same wording. The intent is to follow as closing as possible the intent of the donor. The intent of the donor is clear that if the bishop can't use the property that it reverts to the heirs." Ovide 355 "There is nothing in the will that says it would revert back to the heirs. It is silent on it." Narr 5 - And the diocese is going to court to try and prove it. Carolyn 2327 Phil -"The diocese does not see it the same way you do. I'm sure they don't. What I find offensive is the petition asks that the proceeds of up to one million dollars be set aside in a restricted fund for the bishop's personal living expenses. That's up to 40% of the annual diocesan budget." Ovide 644 "We are asking the court to allow us to be able to deposit the proceeds into a restricted fund, a trust fund that would provide the bishops residential and living needs." Narr 6 - Meanwhile, heirs to the Trudel estate believe they're legally entitled to any proceeds resulting from the sale of the property. Their lawyers who declined to discuss the case on camera have filed a petition in court. Carolyn hopes they're right. She'd like to see some of the money go to the victims of abusive clergy. Carolyn 2050 "I decided to research possible ways to see if some of the funds could go to some of these survivors and it seemed in studying the legal doctrine involved that the one way open is if the property reverted to the heirs which is what the will specifies and if the heirs would agree to donate some of the proceeds to help these survivors." Ovide 830 "Those funds should not be used for that purpose. It goes beyond what the intention of the donor was. He did not intend that the real estate be used to generate money to be used for victims or anyone else, just the bishop." Carolyn 3113 "I see his interpretation except that it meant a great deal to mayor Trudel that the bishop live at his home. 3158 If he wanted to provide for the general support of the bishop, he had every opportunity to say so. But he declined." Stand up: "If the sale of the house goes through, Bishop MacCormack plans to live here at the rectory of St. Joseph Cathedral in Manchester." Ovide 1545 Phil - "The question is how much money will he need for personal living expenses? 'He doesn't need a lot but we don't know when the house might be sold but first before we plan anything, we need to approval from the court that this is in keeping with the wishes of the testator even if it is a different use from what the testator intended.'" Carolyn 2512 "The technicalities of that are for the court to work out but a plain reading of the terms of the will would lead me to believe that it should revert back to the heirs." Narr 7 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |
| Intro Maggie Journey Return to index of stories... |
The Scandal that has ROCKED the Catholic Church has tested the faith of many. While some Catholics are working behind the scenes to REFORM the church -- others have chosen to take on a more PERSONAL crusade. Producer Phil Vaughn introduces us to a Dover Family on their way to South America to put their Faith into Action. |
| Maggie's Journey Return to index of stories... |
Shots of packing Narr 1 - Packing on a hot August day, can be an ordeal. It can also mean the start to a new life. Maggie 1415 "We are answering a desire of our heart. And the way is being made for us to do it." Narr 2 - Maggie Fogarty, her husband Tim Provencal and their two children are leaving friends, family and their home in Dover to embark on a four year journey. Tim 1:35 "We are about to move to move to Ossining, NY for 6 months of training. Theology, and culture training." Narr 3 - Then they'll be off to Bolivia to learn Spanish. Sound of them speaking Spanish Tim 1:55. "Then for three years we'll be living in the high Andes, working and living in a subsistence farming village. Doing God knows what. It's exciting, it's about the biggest transition either of us have ever experienced or are about to experience." Narr 4 - It's an experience Maggie and Tim have long wanted. The work they look forward to will be humanitarian in nature. They'll be sponsored by the Catholic Charity, MaryKnoll. Maggie 4:40 "MaryKnoll operates with this philosophy or theology maybe that you go in trying to empty yourself of preconceived notions of what the folks you'll accompany may need, and what you have to offer." Narr 5 - Those folks are the people with whom Maggie and Tim will live and work. That may be in rural Peru or in Bolivia near the makeshift town of El Alto. Maggie 6:30 "An overwhelming majority of the population of El Alto is under 18 years old. There is a huge issue with homeless boys, maybe their families send them ahead to try to make some money and they just can't find it. We hear this community described as displaced, cut off and I expect that. We'll be experiencing our own displacement and isolation, maybe we'll meet each other in that." Tim 21:10: "The process of our work will not be apostalitizing or preaching or working on conversion in the most traditional sense of missionary work." Narr 6 - If they settle in Peru… Maggie 8:00 "There is a 75% incidence rate with family violence in the Peru region. So I think it is pretty clear to me that I will be doing out reach with women and children." Narr 7 - In Bolivia… Tim 8:40. "I hope to do some hands on work, infrastructure development work, and hopefully a little teaching." Narr 8 - And there'll be lessons learned, both apparent and subtle. Tim 11:10. "We have a wonderful life here in NH, it is such a wonderful life for our kids. I think a large part of this adventure is to expose them to the world where children don't have it so easy, where children don't go to school as a birth right. Really have them develop a world view that doesn't take all of this for granted." Maggie 14:30 "Our children obviously have to trust us entirely. I'm aware that these decisions that we have to make affect their entire lives. We need to be vigilant on there behalf, and be their advocates of course." Dissolve to shot at church priest talking about them |
