After taping our journalists roundtable - we received word from the Diocese of Manchester that Bishop John McCormack has granted leave to the two New Hampshire pastors we menrioned. They are the Reverand Edward Richard - pastor of St. Patrick Parish in Pelham. And Reverand George Robichaud of St Cecelia Parish in Wolfeboro and St Joan of Arc Parish in Alton. According to the diocese, admnistrative leave was granted after learning that the two priests are subjects of a criminal investiation regarding alleged sexual misconduct with a minor.
Father George Robichaud was in Belknap County Court on Friday to face charges he sexually assaulted a boy in 1985. Robichaud is being held on 55 thousand cash and personal recognizance bail. He's been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from all children. He will be back in court on May 13th.

A ban on the gasoline additive M-T-B-E is one step closer to becoming law. The U-S Senate voted Thursday to phase out the chemical over the next four years. The ban - however - is not part of the energy bill in the House. Still, New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith - a supporter of the measure - says he thinks the House will agree to the ban. M-T-B-E has been criticized for contaminating groundwater here in New Hampshire.

Data suggesting that the economy cruised out of recession in the first quarter did little to cheer investors. The major market averages finished at their session lows as investors worry about accounting investigations, disappointing profit outlooks and continuing violence in the Mid East.
For the week, the Dow tumbled 346 points, closing below ten-thousand for the first time since February. Here's a look at the numbers.

New Hampshire workers will be spared in the major job cuts announced Thursday by Tyco International.
The company says employees at Tyco's headquarters in Exeter and
at Tyco Telecommunications in Exeter and Newington will not be
affected.
The Newington plant formerly employed as many as 15 hundred
workers but layoffs in October and February have left only 300
employees there. Tyco Telecommunications in Exeter employs about 100.

Return to index of stories...
The rebellious appeal of bike week has city officials in Laconia creating plenty of rules to control vendors, camping and parking during the week. But for now, there's no one to enforce them.
A city committee is struggling with how to enforce the conditions that accompany the rules such as hours of operation. Officials say, inspections are particularly important during the event’s second week, when permit holders might be tempted to bend the rules.
This year's Bike Week is June 8th-16th, and as yet no one has been assigned to verify that the committee's conditions will be followed.

McLaughlin wants House to change bill that would hurt state
shoreline case
Updates with Marriott background

-- Attorney General Philip McLaughlin wants the
Legislature to reject a proposal he says would help hotel magnate
Richard Marriott sidestep New Hampshire shoreline protection laws.
In a letter to House Speaker Gene Chandler yesterday, McLaughlin
said an amendment to a boater safety bill would undermine his
office's efforts to remove a private boathouse from Lake
Winnipesaukee in Tuftonboro.
The state says Marriott, of Washington, D.C., illegally built
the elaborate boathouse and altered wetlands.
McLaughlin said he was surprised to learn yesterday that an
exception for Marriott had been added to the bill. So were some
House members. They said the amendment was intended to benefit
someone else who wants to make a restaurant into a home.
The wording is expected to be changed.
