Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Teacher Shortage Return to index of stories... |
As this school year winds down, New Hampshire educators are gearing up to recruit their staffs for next year. Dover officials began advertising two months earlier than usual to get a jump on the competition. In Berlin, officials already have looked to Canada for new teachers. This month State Department of Education officials are expected to declare "critical shortage" areas. That gives schools flexibility in hiring teachers without the credentials usually needed. |
| Coast Guard Cuts Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire's seacoast will feel the effects if The Coast Guard cuts some patrols due to budget deficits. The agency blames higher fuel costs, salary raises and the need to replace aging equipment. Local Coast Guard officials say unless an emergency funding bill gets through Congress, cutbacks could reach 25 percent by month's end, just as boating and fishing season begins. |

| JCC intro/graphic Return to index of stories... |
On Friday, the Judicial Conduct Committee released its findings that Supreme Court Chief Justice David Brock committed serious judicial violations. That JCC was investigating the administration of the court by the chief Justice and how the court dealt with behavior by former Justice Stephen Thayer. The JCC stated. "The committee finds that the distinctive status accorded the office of the Chief Justice carries with it an extraordinary responsibility of leadership and accountability, not always satisfied during the recent past." The JCC recommended the Chief Justice be admonished. Brock accepted the decision and in a press release said. "The last year has been a very stressful and very difficult one for me, my wife, my family and the entire judicial branch of government. The time has come to put this matter behind me so that I can continue to devote my full energy and attention to the critical work of the court."

Joining me on the phone one of those members Terry Pfaff of Manchester - he's a Manchester firefighter and state representative. |

According to the US Census Bureau, New Hampshire's population is centered around a parking lot right outside of Kendall's Market on Route 3 in Pembroke. This population centroid has been moving from Canterbury to Pembroke because of the southeastern population shift. One official says, while the information isn't of much practical use, the new center of gravity shows that our capital is in the right place to focus on the people of this state. |
