Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. I'm Allison McNair. |
| Intro Coast Guard Return to index of stories... |
Since last month's attacks at the World Trade Center and the Penatgon, there has been heightened security at many locations around the granite state. The focus is now on home land defense. New Hampshire has only 18 miles of ocean coastline - but that doesn't make the job any easier for the Coast Guard which is patrolling our coastal waters and inlets and guarding against any terrorist attacks. Producer Richard Ager takes us to the seacoast where, the need for greater security has made for a lot of changes and sacrifice for those patrolling Portsmouth Harbor. double key |
| Coast Guard Return to index of stories... |
Track: In normal times, Russell Smith would be traveling around the country, selling telecommunications equipment. But for Smith, and 9 other NH members of the Coast Guard reserve, normal times ended on Sept. 11th. Bite: Tape 2 02:08:35 Richard: I was up at the Balsams for a trade show, Track: When he learned of the attacks, Smith called his coast guard station. Bite: Tape 2 02:09;30 I left the show early, broke my booth down, left Tuesday morning and got in my car and drove straight to the station. I called work and said don't expect me in for a while. Track: These days, Smith is on patrol in Portsmouth Harbor and the Piscataqua River, keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Bite: Tape 2 02:18:20 We have a bigger job here, because of all these oil terminals, a lot of flammable material, an ideal target. Bite: Tape 2 02:18:37 DO YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THE MIND OF A TERRORIST? To a certain extent, think about what would be an ideal place to hit. When, that kind of stuff. There are people who think about that stuff every day. Kind of like police officers. Some of the best cops think like criminals. We kind of have to do the same thing. Bite: Tape 2 02:01:15 AS A FULL TIME ACTIVE MEMBER, WHAT DIFFERENCE HAS CALLING UP THE RESERVES MADE? It's definitely a huge help, a big advantage to have these guys here with us, the amount of things they put on our plate with this is a pretty good size undertaking for the size station we have. So they definitely played big role, stepped up, got right into the mix of things, helped us out. Track: As well as guarding industrial installations, the Coast guard is now providing 24-hour river patrols for the Navy base, with a boat always near the submarine area. And still, their primary task remains. Tape 2 02:02:20 If we have a search and rescue, we have to respond to that regardless if we're doing this or anything else. Search and rescue is our primary mission and we still have to accomplish that along with all our law enforcement. Soundup: tape 1 9:52 "Pull right along there portside" - giving orders preparing to pull alongside - cut to shot of Chief Madison on 41-foot boat. Track: For all members of the coast guard - full-time and reserve, it has been a tough transition to their new alert status. Tape 1 23:23 It's a lot of mixed emotions. Some of us are sad, angry, we're pretty much bracing ourselves for a long, rough ride. Track; Having reservists along for that ride eases that burden but exacts another cost. Bite: Tape 1 17:20 It's already having an effect in Northwood. I'm the only full-time firefighter in Northwood right now. And right now all the volunteers are having to kick in there and help out and be available during the day to take the calls and pick up on the paperwork that I'm not there to do and stuff like that. I think you're going to see that this is going to affect everyone in the country, not just the people who are directly affected. Tape 1 19:31 SO WHAT DOES YOUR WIFE THINK OF ALL THIS? She's very supportive. She's not liking it a whole lot, which is understandable. Our marriage is a teamwork effort and half the team is gone right now, so she's feeling the stress and strain of it, but I know that she can handle it and she's doing fine with it. Bite: Tape 2 02:26:03 IN YEARS PAST IF YOU GOT HOMELAND DUTY, YOU WERE GENERALLY OK - YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BOSNIA. THIS IS ON HOME SOIL NOW, AND YOU'VE GOT SO MANY THINGS YOU NEED TO GUARD - NUCLEAR PLANTS, SUBMARINES. WHAT HAS THIS CHANGED? It's changed your attitude about what could be the next target, my family's down the street, everybody's family is in the area. You just need to make sure that you're always paying attention, alert at all times to anything that could be going on in the area you're trying to make secure. Definitely stepped up now. Track: The Coast Guard is not alone in patrolling NH's waters. It is getting assistance from the Maine and NH Marine Patrols as well as the NH Fish and Game Dept. For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |
| Intro Terrorism-NH Return to index of stories... |
We've just seen how the Coast Guard is beefing up patrols. But just how well protected are New Hampshire's water supplies, its electric system, airports, and highways from terrorist attacks? Those are just some of the issues being addressed by a new commission appointed by Governor Shaheen last week. The head of the New Hampshire Commission on Preparedness and Security, Don Bliss, joined me earlier to talk about those concerns. **hot change** |

Since the 1960's, tobacco use in the United States was on the decline. Awareness programs, it seemed were working. Over the past decade, however, that decline has ended. Why? This week we're clearning the air with a special series of reports on smoking related issues in the Granite State. Tonight, we look at who is smoking in New Hampshire and why they're lighting up. |

| Rental Vacancies Return to index of stories... |
The economic downturn will have an up-side for some New Hampshire business owners- better deals on rental space. Market surveys say space is getting easier to find as demand declines with the slowing economy. Two recent reports predict vacancy rates will continue to rise as more space opens up during the next 12 to 24 months. |
| Derry Needy Return to index of stories... |
Layoffs in Derry are taxing the town'sbudget. Two area companies, the Sanmina Corporation and Lucent Technologies, have laid off hundreds in recent months. Derry's five-point-five percent unemployment rate last July was among the highest in the state. The town offers mortgage, rent and health care assistance to those who need it, but officials say the welfare budget is starting to run low. |
| Media Violence Return to index of stories... |
AP-NH--Media Violence smfman School district leaves association in protest -- A school district in the Lakes Region is parting with the state school board association in protest. School board members in the Governor Wentworth Regional School District say the association has ignored its concerns about media violence. The board plans to use dues money, totaling nearly 54-hundred dollars, for media violence education and to help make parents aware of the affect of media violence on children. The board had asked the association to condemn school violence but the association says media violence is a parental issue. |
| Economy/Children Return to index of stories... |
msrho -- Two economists from the University of New Hampshire will report their findings today on the link between child well-being and the state economy. Child advocates say it is good business for businesses to invest in children. The report shows an increase in personal income also would mean a reduction in child poverty. Ross Gittell of the Whittemore School of Business and Brian Gottlob of PolEcon Research will report the findings and recommendations at a breakfast forum in Manchester. A panel discussion that will include business people will follow. |

World Bank: Impact of attacks on developing world -- The World Bank says an additional ten million people around the world will likely become poverty-stricken because of the September 11th attacks. The group says developing nations will likely see hindered growth through the end of next year. The World Bank says countries dependent on tourism-related trade will likely be hit the hardest. The Caribbean, for example, already has seen about 65 percent of its booked vacations canceled. Farmers, rural laborers and others tied to the agriculture industry also are expected to bear a major part of the burden. It says the worst hit region will be in Africa, particularly in Sub-Saharan regions that have few economic safety nets in place. The Bank estimates up to 40-thousand children under age five could die because of the economic effects of the terrorists attacks. About half of those deaths are likely to occur in Africa. Wall Street-Close Stocks give back modest ground -- Stocks slipped lower as investors took profits after last week's rally. But the selling wasn't as bad as it could have been as many investors decided to sit tight in advance of tomorrow's Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates. Also, the market wasn't surprised when the National Association of Purchasing Management reported a further slowdown in already weak manufacturing activity. The results were actually slightly better than expected. |
| Shaheen Economy Return to index of stories... |
With the longterm economic effects of the terrorist attacks unknown, Governor Jeanne Shaheen has a plan to boost New Hampshire's economy. Because some people fear flying and are cancelling flights to New England, she's asking tourism officials to increase efforts to attract visitors who are within driving distance. All state agencies are being asked to look at cutting their budgets by one percent this year and two percent next year - if the economic picture worsens. Shaheen also wants to speed up state construction projects which would bring additonal jobs and money to the state. |
