| Preshow #3 Nader Return to index of stories... |
And Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader comes to New Hampshire pitching his ideas for the White House. |
| Hello/Intro Nader Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. The doors opened Wednesday for candidates running for office in New Hampshire but many running for House and Senate seats could not file. That's because Democrats in the Legislature have challenged a new re-districting law and the state Supreme Court has blocked the filing as it reviews the challenge. On the National Scene -- Independent Presidential candidate Ralph Nader recently made his first campaign appearance in New Hampshire for the 2004 election. Many Democrats accuse Nader of costing Al Gore the presidency in 2000. As Richard Ager reports --while in New Hampshire --Nader answered charges he could AGAIN cost the Democrats the White House in this year's election. |
| Intro Smith Return to index of stories... |
To get a broader sense of how Ralph Nader can expect to fare in this fall's election, both in NH and across the nation, Richard Ager sat down with Andy Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center. He began by asking about Nader's assertion that he will draw more votes from Bush supporters than Kerry supporters. |
| Intro Venus Transit Return to index of stories... |
You have an opportunity to see something no one alive --has ever seen!!! Next Tuesday, June 8th -- two of the sky's most brilliant objects will meet -- in a rare astronomical event. Venus will transit the face of the Sun --that's when a smaller celestial body passes in front of a larger one. The last such transit occured more than 120 years ago. Half the globe will be able to watch the "tiny black dot" of the planet Venus moving across the disc of the sun. The entire 6-hour event will be visible in Europe, Africa and Asia. Here in the East Coast, we'll be able to catch the tail END of the transit -- which gets underway at sunrise. |
| Venus Discussion Return to index of stories... |
Here to talk about this rare celestial event is John Gianforte -- who teaches astronomy at the College for Lifelong Learning -- is the co-founder of the Astronomical Society of Northern New England-- and writes an astronomy column for Foster's Daily Democrat called "Scanning the Heavens". Q JOHN GIANFORTE: Why have "VENUS TRANSITS" been of such great importance to astronomy? |
| Questions Return to index of stories... |
Q There's a special event at the Seacoast Science Center next week. Tell us about those festivites? Begins at 5:00 am. What happens if it rains? CANCELLED. Won't even be late for school or work. Q WX permitting, what will we be able to see of the transit of Venus on Tuesday? Best time for Viewing? How long will it be visible? Q Is it safe to view the transit of Venus? Don't use telescope WITHOUT solar filter -- or binoculars without solar filters. Severe eye damage or blindness can result if you view the sun without proper eye protection. Use special solar sunglasses. Q We have 2 opportunities to view a Venus Transit, Q Why is a transit of Venus so rare? Significance? Accurately observe the transit-- and with that data the size of the solar system could be determined. Now,can use radar for that purpose. Q Which other planets can show a transit ? Venus and Mercury are the only planets that orbit the sun inside of Earth’s orbit and are the only planets that can pass across its disc as viewed from Earth. Q What happens between now and June 8th in the night sky? Between now and the June 8 transit, Venus will move closer and closer to the Sun. Transit chasers of the past. Even today Hundreds of expeditions planned to find best vantage points. |

| Intro Salmon Return to index of stories... |
Fishermen hoping to catch a salmon in the Merrimack river had a tougher time than usual this spring. That's because the US Fish and Wildlife stocked the river much later than planned. They were concerned about the level of PCBs in their hatchery raised fish. Then the state department of health and human services weighed in with an advisory. What does this mean for the farm raised salmon we buy at the supermarket? Julie Donnelly reports. |
| Tag Salmon Return to index of stories... |
One reassuring note - much of the farm raised salmon that we buy in New Hampshire actually comes from Chile, where PCB levels are thought to be lower than in North America. Health officials say removing the skin before cooking salmon can reduce the amount of PCBs you are consuming. For more information about fish safety and heart health, go to american heart dot org. |

Wednesday, June 2, 2004: We were hoping to run a "day of" story on Salmon. but it took longer than we hoped to write/edit so we went to plan B and decided to save it for another day and run the "Friends Program" in its place. The show turned out great and we were done by 6pm. |
