| Shanley Return to index of stories... |
The Boston Archdiocese has handed over hundreds of additional documents pertaining to Father Paul Shanley - the priest facing accusations of sexually molesting children. Attorneys representing a Newton man who is suing the Archdiocese and Cardinal Law- say they'll review the 800 additional pages. The litigation has drawn attention to the role Cardinal Bernard Law played in moving Father Shanley from parish to parish. |
| McCormack Return to index of stories... |
In the wake of the two day Vatican summit on child abuse by priests - Manchester Diocese Bishop John McCormack issued this statement. He said that he is encouraged by the Vatican's response to the growing scandal. McCormack said the Holy Father and the American cardinals have expressed a clear awareness that sexual abuse of minors is not only a sin, but a crime. And that our attention must be directed toward protecting children and helping victims heal. Bishop McCormack has faced questions surrounding his involvement with overseeing priests accused of child molestation while he served as one of Cardinal Bernard Law 's top aides. |
| legislature today intro Return to index of stories... |
The rougher edges of lawmaking were very visible Thursday as the Senate and House pushed to wrap up their legislative session. The lawmakers were working to move along nearly a hundred bills on this, the last day to call for a committee of conference. Producer Richard Ager explains. |
| legislature Return to index of stories... |
Soundup: tape 1 11:25:56 "Division. Division." Track: That's a call for a House vote, but it could also describe the mood as both chambers of the legislature dealt with dozens of bills that the other body had passed but amended. Bite: tape 2 12:39;38 If you've seen how traffic moves in Beijing, you can get an idea of what it looks like when all these bills are flying back and forth. Bite: tape 1 11:28:33 We have to wait while the House finishes up some things they are doing and then as soon as they're done, we'll be finishing up on the things they've done, and while we're finishing up the things they're doing, they'll be carping about us going slowly and while they're finishing things that we've done, we'll be carping about them going slowly. So it will be a long day. Bite: tape 1 12:23:07 It's not the final end of the process - it's just the beginning of the last act. We have a long way to go. There are 90 bills headed in some kind of committee of conference and they represent a huge spectrum of issues that need to be dealt with. This is the time of year that the senate asserts its kind of dominance - tries to suggest to the House that they're really in control. They're not. Standup: tape 2 14:39:52 Four months of hearings, debate and deliberation are coming to an end. With just a week to go before the legislature is planning to end its session, the pressure is on to pass or kill every bill. So this day was a time for paperwork - a lot of paperwork. Soundup: tape 1 10;53:54 "Senator Below moves that we nonconcur and request a committee of conference. All those in favor say aye." Track: On every bill, each chamber voted to agree to the other body's amendments - or request a committee of conference to hammer out the differences. soundup: tape 1 12;18:54 I usually accumulate a stack, and then I take them over. SO WHILE THE HOUSE IS HUNGRY AND WAITING FOR.Hungry and waiting. We're trying to knock them out and get them over as soon as we can. Track: Once compiled, those reqests make the short journey into the other chamber - where the camera cannot follow. Bite: tape 2 14:23;14 At this stage, it becomes even more of a sausage factory than it usually is. It's legislation by ambush. You never know what's coming over from the other side of the wall. We have no notice of what bills are coming first. And we have barely enough notice of the content of what the bills are going to be. Bite: tape 1 12:14:36 After we adjourn today, the committes of conference will meet, and then we will meet again next Thursday to get the reports from those committees of conference and whether they were able to agree or not agree. And that will be the last of the regular scheduled days until May 22nd - to see if the Governor vetoes any of those bills and if they are vetoed, then we will take up the veto messages on May 22nd. Soundup: tape 1 11:59:48 We had four checkoff boxes, the House has simplified it into just one box that you would check off if you want the Dept. of motor vehicles to register you for the draft. Track: Of course, on many bills, as with this measure allowing draft registration on licence applications, one chamber concurs with the other's amendments - and the bill goes to the governor. Track: So how do legislators cope with days like this? Bite: tape 2 14:27:01 You gotta have a sense of humor or you'll go nuts. This thing - you either have to be crazy or funny - one or the other. Take your pick. Track; For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |

The legislature was a busy place Thursday. In fact, it was so busy, it needed two Frank Saparetos instead of the usual one. On national bring your child to work day, Rep. Frank Sapareto of Derry brought Frankie Jr. to witness the goings on in the House.

The State House wasn't the only place that saw kids at work today. Employees at Tecnomatix Unicam, a software provider company at the Pease Tradeport in Newington, treated their kids to a day of learning and fun. The children made pretend computer circuit boards out of felt, beads and pipe cleaners. They also toured the building and learned about the company. We asked them about the event and also talked to some of the kids about what they thought their parent did for work. |

NH is the only state in the nation that has liquor stores on the highway. Those stores generate a lot of revenue. Thanks to new legislation, 5 percent of the profit from the sale of alcohol will be used to address the social and health consequences of substance abuse for New Hampshire residents. But just how should this money be allocated? Theresa Kennett takes us to a forum held in Ossipee to hear people's suggestions. |

Are you ready to Shake Rattle and Rhyme? That's the name of the final performance of a community supported artist in residence program at the Portsmouth Middle School. The program, now in its second year, is designed to expose 7th graders to poetry, music and the arts. Ben French has the story. |
| Shake, Rattle, Rhyme Return to index of stories... |
NAT: 51:44 This is poem called picture this. 52:09 rap begins TRACK: for seventh grader David Miller- performing his own poetry on stage in front of his peers takes courage. David * 16:06 for me it was pretty scary going up and doing something like that but I felt good after- its just awesome. 16:17 TRACK: David is one of dozens of Portsmouth Middle School students taking part in the second annual poetry and performing arts festival at New Heights Center in Portsmouth. Erin Bakkom; 7th grade teacher 7:59 we have a lot of kids in music and choir but for some kids who may not have those performing skills this may be their only opportunity to go on stage themselves and watch their classmates STANDUP: It's hard to believe that Portsmouth middle school- in a city so well known for arts and culture didn't have a school wide performing arts program until; last year. TRACK: but with the help of volunteers and funding from throughout the community- performing arts have become part of the curriculum- culminating in this performance called Showtime: Shake Rattle and Roll. Becca Pawling; Artist in residence * 14:54 It brings together artists and kids who are just waiting for experiences like this and exposes them to the arts that they prob wouldn't see otherwise in the schools. 15:05 TRACK: The revived artist in residency program at the Portsmouth Middle school is now a staple of the seventh grade experience. Students work with Poets, musicians, painters, and performers. And this is the result. NAT: drums and stilts 39:30 it's the whole 7th grade right now but ultimately we are hoping this will develop into something that's offered to all of the students. 39:39 TRACK: Eliza Hobson helped develop the new arts program as way to engage students and reveal their talents. SOT: ElizaT2 38:58: when my child entered the sixth grade I joined the parents teacher assoc. at that time the only thing that was offered was an after school program for a limited period of time for about about twenty kids. 39:13 OUT TRACK: but with the help of volunteers and donations the school has come a long way in the two years since since Shake, Rattle and Rhyme was introduced. 3:58 parents cam up with this idea they brought this to us they brought it to the teachers and without those hours of volunteerism we would just not be able to do this we wouldn't be able to develop the school and turn it into the program its turned into. 04:12 TRACK: And it has turned into quite a production giving students an outlet for expression through poetry, music, theatre… Today these kids are addressing issues close to them, Issues like relationships and growing up. NAT: T1 54:54 "Should I have a good time or watch as the word passes me by. 7:24 the 6th 7th and 8th grade years for children - it's a tough time for kids- you know their adolescence it's a tough time for kids and to be able to participate in something like this really helps their development 7:36 1:10:24 It took me forever to get on stage to perform it was a little scary but I did it **BUTT** 10:47: I've never done anything like that ever. BF DO YOU THINK YOU"LL DO IT AGAIN? Yeah I'd do it again TRACK: The arts have also proved to be a valuable tool for teachers. 40:28 its just amazing to see a group of kids get up on stage and have their teachers say afterwards I never realized that these kids were capable of this, its been an eye opener for the teachers and they are with them every day of the week 40:51 Nancy * 6:26 when the kids express what's in their hearts it helps the teachers learn more about the students so it benefits the teachers as well. 6:36 TRACK: and, says Hobson, it preserves the arts in Portsmouth. 41:09 When you Bring people together and pool resources you can really benefit the whole community. DAVID I'm just glad we got a program like that, I'm just glad. 17:30 TAG: For NHO, I'm BF |
