| Passenger Train Return to index of stories... |
Amtrak's new passenger service from Maine to Boston has received approval to run 79 miles per hour. The Federal Surface Transportation Board approved the higher speed, assuming the new line satisfies federal safety standards and passes a one-time structural test. The higher speed onthe 78-mile stretch in Maine and New Hampshire would cut 12 to 15 minutes off the trip. Guilford Rail System owns the track and says it won't appeal the board's decision. Guilford had argued for a top speed of 60 miles an hour. Service could be operational by the end of the year. |

| Intro Seatbelts Return to index of stories... |
State authorities are stepping up efforts to protect children travelling the roadways this fourth of July holiday. Local and state police will be on the lookout for people who aren't complying with New Hampshire's seat belt law for children. That law requires anyone under 18 be buckled up. And children under four must ride in safety seats. But how do you know if your child is buckled up safety? Recently Outlook got a demonstration from Terry LaPan of the Injury Prevention Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock and Lieutenant James Eastman of the Nashua Police Department. |

Once children graduate from a safety seat - a booster seat is the next step to ensure a child's safety. A booster seat is used to position a child so the seatbelt is in the proper place when buckled. Booster seats should be used for children up to 80 pounds. |

This fourth of July holiday, a lot of us will spend part of the day with family and friends either barbequing or grilling. If you're the one wearing the chef's hat tomorrow, you might want some tips on how to make sure your event is a big success. We went to an expert at the Atlantic Culinary Academy in Dover. Chef Charles Limoggio not only gave us an apron and hat, but some great advice as well. |
| Fireworks Safety Return to index of stories... |
Emergency rooms are gearing up for the usual Fourth of July surge in fireworks-related injuries. Doctor David Walker, of Nashua's Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, says people who don't pay attention while using fireworks often end up in his examining room. He should know. As a child he lost much of his hearing in one ear thanks to a firecracker. Walker says he has treated everything from missing fingers to severe burns. He says alcohol often plays a major role in these accidents. |
