script iconIntro Announcement
Return to index of stories...
But first, a history making vote in Minneapolis.
Episcopalian church leaders have confirmed the Revend Gene Robinson as the first openly gay bishop in their church.
After hours of debate, 62 votes affirmed his nomination. 45 opposed.
The vote was postponed at the eleventh hour on Monday after allegations surfaced that the Bishop-elect had innappropriately touched a man and that he was connected to a group whose web site indirectly linked to pornography.
An independent investigator concluded in less than a day that the charges were unfounded.





script iconIntro Jones

Robinson is a member of the St. Paul Episcopal Church in Concord.

Robinson says he will not be a gay bishop, but a bishop to all.
Earlier Tuesday we talked to a New Hampshire episcopalian who has known Robinson for twenty years and participated in the selection process.

For me the bible is a way that Jesus was able to teach us the way that we should live our lives to teach us ethics. And the word that comes to me first when I say what were we taught. Is that we were taught to love and not to judge that's not our role. I also don't think that has any. If you were making up a job discription for any job sexuality doesn't belong in it. It doesn't have anything to do with how he will handle his job. It doesn't have anything to do with what is job will entail. It is just not part of it. Bishop ??? doesn't come to our church many visits and talk to us about he and his wifes relationship. Its just not important to me.

Return to index of stories...
The convention of church leaders runs through Thursday at which time the nation's first openly gay bishop returns home to New Hampshire. His installation is not scheduled until fall.
The controversy, however, is far from over. Many episcopalians who opposed his confirmation say they will consider splitting from the church.
script iconIntro Healthcare Ads
Return to index of stories...
One of the most talked about issues of this presidential cycle is likely to be Health Care.
Just about every Democratic candidate has come up with a plan for reform, and now a group of activists want to keep the discussion going.
This week the first so-called "issue" ads of the campaign will begin running in New Hampshire and in Iowa. They feature nurses speaking directly to voters.

Campaign Issue Ad
"I'm a nurse. And I know when you're sick; the longer you wait, the worse you get.
Everybody should be able to get health care, but it's harder and harder for families to find coverage they can afford. It'll take very one of us, government and business, you and me, to solve this problem. We've got to ask every candidate running for president what they're going to do about health care - and how they're going to pay for it. And we can't quit 'till we get some real answers. Fixing health care isn't going to be easy, but the longer we wait, the worse it's going to get."
script iconIntro Healthcare Discussion
Return to index of stories...
The ads are paid for by the New Hampshire for Healthcare.
Joining us now to talk about the campaign is Matt Burgess from NH for Health Care and Brooke Gurley, a registered nurse from Lincoln.
Welcome.
script iconIntro Covered Bridge
Return to index of stories...
Finally, many people will spend the next few months touring the backroads of New Hampshire.
If they're looking in the right places, they'll see one of New England's most unique treasures.
In our continuing series, Steve Taylor, the State's long-time Commissioner of Agriculture- shares some of his favorite glimpses of the "real" New Hampshire.
Steve takes us to the beautiful Connecticut River Valley and Cornish for a look at two covered bridges.
script iconCovered Bridge
Return to index of stories...
This is an essay by Steve Taylor. our Commissioner of Agriculture, about covered bridges. He visits the Cornish Windsor Bridge built in 1866 by James Tasker, it is the longest two span wooden covered bridge in the world. It was built for $9000. 449 feet long. We also visit the Dingleton Bridge in Cornish which was also built by James Tasker back in the late 1800's. He used to test his designs by building a model and then jumping on it. We learn what a "tell tale" is. It is a frame through which vehicles must pass before going on the bridge and it warns you if your vehicle is too large for the bridge. These bridges will last 125 years and more if the roof is kept in good repair.
