| Headlines Return to index of stories... |
Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. I'm Allison McNair. Coming up we'll take an in depth look at the complicated and emotional issue of adotpion. But first we begin with some of the other stories making headlines in New Hampshire Wednesday. |
| Prime Tanning Return to index of stories... |
Even though there's no arguing that September 11th has done damage to the U-S economy - some companies are seeing an increase in business. One such company is Prime Tanning - a shoe leather maker - which recently closed plants in Rochester and Berwick Maine - leaving five hundred 50 people out of work. Stricter security precautions on imports and an increased demand for combat boots is boosting business. The company hopes to have one hundred and fifty workers back on the job in the Berwick plant by January. We'll look in depth at the changing face of NH industry Thursday on Outlook. |
| Trains Return to index of stories... |
With passenger train service about to resume along New Hampshire's Seacoast, a task force met Wednesday to examine the possibility of restoring other defunct passenger lines. It's the first of many meetings to study issues of infrastructure, environmental impact and economic development that are involved in restoring train service. The group will be looking into the impact of service from Boston to Montreal, involving a line from Nashua to Merrimack and Manchester, and routes from Concord to Lebanon. Peter Griffin, Vice Chairman of the new task force believes its important to talk about increased rail service as part of a balanced transportation system. |

Daily rail service between Boston and Portland, Maine, with stops in Exeter, Durham and Dover, begins on December 15th. And by 2004 daily service is expected to be restored between Nashua and Lowell, Massachusetts, which connects to Boston. |
| Democratic Primary Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire's 2004 primary will be earlier than ever - if South Carolina's Democratic Party has its way. The executive committee voted Monday to allow a presidential primary or caucus as early as February third. Since New Hampshire state law says it's primary must be held at least a week before any similar contest, that could mean the next first-in-the-nation primary could take place as early as January, 2004. |
| Intro adoption Return to index of stories... |
According to the New Hampshire court records, there were 846 adoptions in NH last year. And according to the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse on average some, 120,000 nationwide each year during the 1990s'. Those are the statisitics- but the personal reality is more emotional and complicated. For one thing it involves what is called the "triad", including the adoptee, the birth parents, and the adoptive parents. And on top of that - is layered the legal system - which may be different from state to state. Last Feburary procucer Chip Neal profiled a movement in New Hampshire to open the adoption records of adult adoptees. |

| Tax Amnesty Return to index of stories... |
Granite Staters will soon get a chance to catch up on overdue state taxes, without penalty. From December first to February 15th, the Department of Revenue Administration will allow any taxpayer to make a late payment, with seven percent interest, and waive any penalties. The amnesty applies to every tax the state administers. It won't be the first time the state offered delinquent taxpayers a chance to make amends. A similar program four years ago brought in 13 and a half million dollars. |
| Lake Levels Return to index of stories... |
Tourists flock to Lake Winnipesaukee to soak up the sun each summer. But property owners may pay a price for too much good weather this past year. Bob Fay, flow monior at the Lakeport Dam, says low water levels may damage docks when the winter sets in. That's because devices that circulate water and prevent ice from forming won't work if there isn't enough water to circulate. Lake Winnepesaukee is a foot and a half lower than usual for this time of year, and at its lowest level in thirty-six years. |
