| Homeland Security Return to index of stories... |
Soundup: 11:23:16 Siren starts Track: Tom Ridge began his visit to NH at the site of a previous federal grant. The Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Training Facility in Concord in was built with $7 million in federal funds. soundup: 12;39:40 fire spreads Track: This facility opened last year and trains fire crews from around New England in different emergency scenarios involving aircraft. A demonstration like this burns 500 gallons of liquid propane a minute and reaches temperatures of 1600 degrees. It's all art of the NH Fire Academy where volunteer and professional firefighters learn their profession. tape 2 11:37:09 "Five, four, three, two." tape 1 11:41:02 One of the best values that I think we have are the dollars that are going to state and locals in the fire grants, because whether it's a terrorist attack or just a man-made disaster or a natural disaster, or criminal incident, we will be better prepared and safer as a country. So I just want to thank you for your contribution to that notion. Track: In addition to delivering praise, Secretary Ridge delivered a welcome announcement. NH will receive $9 million to construct a new emergency operations center. Bite: tape 1 11:58:35 The reason you're getting it is because of your willingness and ability to pull together all your communication needs into one venue. The emergency operations center, transportation, 911, so that you can better coordinate and control your response to any disaster. And that's the whole notion behind driving these dollars from Washington to the states and locals so you can pull together mutual aid pacts within the state agencies and your local communities as well. Standup: tape 2 12:51:02 The state will also receive $2.1 million in federal funds to improve emergency communications in Grafton County. The money will pay to upgrade voice and data networks that serve both New Hampshire and Vermont. Track: Ridge was surrounded by Republican legislative leaders but denied his visit was political. Bite: tape 2 12:07:06 WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF HIGH-LEVEL ATTENTION LATELY. YOUR DEPUTY ASA HUTCHISON WAS HERE LAST WEEK, ATTORNEY GENERAL ASHCROFT THE WEEK BEFORE, THE VICE PRESIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. WHY ARE WE GETTING ALL THIS HIGH-LEVEL ATTENTION? "Come back anytime." - You're not complaining about it, are you? Presumably because you're doing things right up here. Bite: tape 12:07:53 This visit today is based solely and exclusively on the fact that in a very competitive system, you had one of best proposals around the country, and we're here to celebrate the proposal and announce the $9 million that's coming your way. I presume you like the attention. WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM DEMOCRATS AS WELL. I noticed that. I noticed that. You'll be getting a lot more. Track: For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is "BEEFING-UP" its' homeland security forces. 2 Coast Guard Cutters will be joining the local fleet to help protect New England waters. Welcoming ceremonies are scheduled for this weekend. |
| Do Not Call Return to index of stories... |
Lawmakers didn't waste anytime answering the call from supporters of the "do-not-call" list. Both the house and senate Thursday passed the measure making it clear that the Federal Trade commission DOES have the power to oversee the list. It is aimed at stopping unwanted telemarketer calls. The legislative action was prompted by a federal judge's ruling that the F-T-C doesn't have that authority. Lawmakers say the Americans who put 50 million phone numbers on the registry have made it clear they're tired of unwanted calls. But even if the measure is signed into law by President Bush, as is expected, that does not automatically nullify the court order. The judge still must dismiss the case brought by telemarketers for the list to take effect. |
| Intro Securities Fraud Return to index of stories... |
Those unwanted calls from strangers trying to sell you something - are not only annoying, in some cases, they're downright fraud. Millions have been victimized. Telemarketing fraud is certainly not a new crime - but, never has it been used so prolifically to target the elderly. Looking to arm seniors against "investment" fraud - the state of New Hampshire is launching a new public service campaign. Here's a look at an ad from Pennsylvania that will be hitting the airwaves next week in New Hampshire. |
| Securities Fraud Discussion Return to index of stories... |
Joining us now To talk about INVESMENT FRAUD is Mark Connolly, deputy secretary and state director of securities regulation and Scott Kirby, communicatons director for the New Hampshire's Department of Securities Regulation. Thank you both for being here. |
| Intro Grandparents Return to index of stories... |
Seniors are in demand in the job market now more than ever. And while some are taking jobs behind registers others are taking jobs as Grandparents. The Friends Foster Grandparents Program has turned jobless seniors into grammys and grampys. These grandparents lend a helping hand to the children in our community. Celene Ramadan has the story. |
| Foster Grandparents Return to index of stories... |
Foster Grandparents: JUANITA GEORGE HAS OVER 20 GRANDCHILDREN…IN THE CLASSROOM, THAT IS. JUANITA HELPS OUT AT THE UNION SANBORN SCHOOL IN NORTHFIELD AS A FOSTER GRANDPARENT. WHY?… Juanita Keeps me young! I enjoy being with the children and it really keeps you young. It's very rewarding when they come and say "can you help me with this?" and you can - and I like it. SUZAN GANNETT IS THE PRINICIPAL ON THE UNION SANBORN SCHOOL. THIS SCHOOL HAS HAD GRAMMYS AND GRAMPYS IN THE CLASSROOM FOR OVER 20 YEARS. Suzan We're participating in the Foster Grandparents program for what our kids get out of it. It really helps to bridge the generation gap. They've always got a smiling face in the morning and they greet the kids as they come in the door and we have another one of the teachers that drives one of our foster grandparents to work so that she can still come so we've made a joint commitment and it's a real partnership. And it gives a feeling of family here in this building, which we appreciate. Juanita I like it so much I'm here most of the time! I work four days a week 7:30 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon. And course I'm not constantly working, we have our snack time and I have my lunch and that's another good thing - I get my lunch! JUANITA, OR "GRAMMY GEORGE", SPENT MOST OF HER LIFE WORKING AS A NURSE. Juanita Getting close to fifty years I thought…ehh, I'll try something different. And this is good. It's good. We're helping our future citizens, maybe future nurses - how do I know? HELPING TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE FUTURE AND THE PAST IS THE GOAL OF THE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS PROGRAM. JIM DOREMUS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FRIENDS PROGRAM, SAYS HE APPRECIATES THE BOND THAT GROWS BETWEEN A FOSTER GRANDPARENT AND A CHILD. Jim If you could see a child talk about their FG that says it all. Because you'll it in their face, their eyes, their expression and it's the love that they feel and have for those FGs and it's very special. Jim We've seen people who have graduated from high school and then run into one of the people who was their FG and there's still that connection there that is really special. So what is really, I think, neat about this aside form the relationship with the senior is that is really is that it's community based it maintains itself. And so that makes it even more powerful. THE EXTRA HELP AND ATTENTION IN THE CLASSROOM IS A BENEFIT FOR BOTH THE CHILDREN AND THE TEACHERS. BUT FOR THE SENIORS THEMSELVES, THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER SET OF ADVANTAGES. Jim There are benefits to this that are fairly tangible - they receive a non-taxable stipend, they also have access to health care and they receive at their site maybe transportation to and from the site. They may also receive a meal as a part of their service. Jim I think most importantly that they derive that's of the most value that it gives these folks, these seniors, an opportunity to be re-engaged in the community in a highly meaningful way. We all need that. That's essential for us for our own sense of being and I think that's the most important thing. PLUS, THE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS GET TO BE CALLED THINGS LIKE "GRAMMY" Juanita Do you like that the kids call you grammy? It doesn't bother me a bit because they say it so sweetly - that it - it really is nice. Suzan Yeah, they call them grammy. We all call them grammy. So it's grammy brown and grammy george and grammy raffley so we all call them that. THE GRAMMYS ALSO DO A GREAT DEAL OF LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM. Well, I think it has broadened my view of what you have to do to get education in progress. I thought you just unlocked the doors and the kids came in - but there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that people don't know about. Preparations for the classes, continuing education for the teachers and it's quite a program to get into really - education is. GETTING MORE SENIORS INTO THE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS PROGRAM HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR JIM. Jim There's always a need for FGs people who are 60 years or older who like to be involved working with children - with a flexible schedule I encourage you to look into this. Juanita I certainly would recommend it for any grammy or grandpa - the men, too. The men would probably be happier in an older class like second, third grade - but yes, I would recommend it just to brighten up your life, too. Doesn't it? They'll say hi to you, too. And I would recommend it highly. FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK, I'M CELENE RAMADAN. JUANITA - "I'M BACK". |
| Intro Autumn Return to index of stories... |
We ushered in the Autumnal Equinox this week. Fall In New England has officially arrived. Celebrating the seasons of New England has been the stock-in-trade of Yankee Magazine for more than 65 years. Theresa Kennett caught up with Yankee's Travel and Tourism Editor, Mel Allen, in North Conway to talk about chasing the color in New England. |
| Autumn Return to index of stories... |
Mel Allen at 6:43 People from all over the world come to New England, mostly in October, hoping to see a singular experience which is the flaming scarlets and the yellows and the purples and the coppers. Its like a medley of colors. The real fall classic is not the world series, its our foliage season. Every fall Mel Allen and his colleagues at Yankee follow the foliage trail to capture the beauty of Autumn. Mel at 19:56 Yankee has just put out a brand new magazines, its appropriately called seasons. And it really is a celebration of fall and early winter. Its some of the most vivid photography that we have ever published. To track the progression of foliage, Allen says Yankee relies on a little help from some friends. Mel at 3:48 There are leaf watchers all around New England. These are people who have said, we will report on foliage to all of the various chambers of commerce to the state chamber and also Yankee Magazine. And we call people and say what does it look like out your window. Stand up at 2:57 There has been considerable change in the White Mountains foliage, however trees are not yet considered to be at their peak color 13:46 Don't think that you have to be there for peak foliage. As if peak foliage is a moment fixed in time and if your not there at the precise moment, you've blown it. Foliage is a continuum. It starts at different elevation in different places Allen says when "The Red Gods Call" take your time and take the road less traveled. Mel At 12:18 Anyone whose been here during the peak weeks knows that if you come during the peak weeks and your on the main roads, it makes for not so much foliage viewing but traffic snarling and your part of it. So just get off the road. And out of your car. Nats of train Mel at 24:54 - 25:14 Get on a train. Let the conductors take you on some of the most scenic routes possible. The Conway scenic railroad has a 5 and half hour tour, they have much shorter tours. Some of these tours go through places like Crawford Notch, that is truly breath taking. I don't use that word lightly. It is breathtaking. More nats of the train going through Crawford Notch In addition to the beautiful colors, foliage provides an economic boost to the region. Mel at 15:00 I read different amounts. One amount says that in New England we get as much as 8 billion - that's a B - dollars pumped into the economy from Setp. 20th till the end of October, and you figure NH, Vermont, the Bershires, and parts of Maine are the crunch of that. Virginia Kanzler, The Cranmore Inn at 29:08 Foliage is the most important season for our business. The majority of our income we earn in these two months. Virginia Kanzler and her husband Chris have owned the Cranmore Inn for 20 years. Historically, foliage season brought travelers from around the world. After September 11th, that changed. 35:13 This year it seems to be bouncing back, its looking better than it has. So we're optimistic that it will continue in that way. Kanzler said that the foliage is not the only thing that people are interested in when they visit in the fall. Kanzler at 35:51 They are coming to enjoy the colors but they want the whole New England Inn experience. So we're lucky in that respect. But fortunately for everyone in the area, there are enough travelers even when the inns and B & B's fill up there is still enough business for everybody else. Dick Tibbetts at 8:34 Oh yes, its been fantastic, the weekend was just terrific. Dick Tibbetts owns the Tibbetts Family Farm in East Conway. His farm stand already has a steady stream of tourists looking for fall vegetables. He is thankful for a good growing season. Tibbetts - 8:18 It was pretty good, pretty good. Squash and stuff come real well. Pumpkins were off alittle bit because of the humidity but no complaints.. Mel at 17:20 When people say they want to stay here because of the seasons, this is a lot of what they are talking about. Jump to 16:42 It is really our most sensual time of year. Its when the wood smoke starts curling out of the chimney. Its when the apples have the first snap off the trees. It's the aroma of harvest time. Its getting the fresh batch of apple cider. Jump to 18:00 I think when people say I want the seasons this is what they are talking about right here. From North Conway, I'm Theresa Kennett for NH outlook.
