| Hello/Intro NH Saudi Return to index of stories... |
But first: The terrorist murder of a New Hampshire man in Saudi Arabia. Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Relatives of the Laconia native say the 58-year-old killed over the weekend was close to retiring. Kenneth Scroggs -- pictured here with his wife-- worked on military projects for a company called Advanced Electronics. He grew up in Laconia where his parents still live. Scroggs' mother says her son planned to retire in two months and return to the United States. She says as horrible as her son's murder was, she's concerned about another American who was kidnapped over the weekend. Paul Johnson was apparently abducted by militants who are believed to have gunned down Scroggs. Late Tuesday afternoon, an Islamic Web site showed videotape of a blindfolded hostage. The site claimed the hostage was American. The abductors are threatening to kill the hostage within 72 hours unless al-Qaida prisoners are freed. This latest development creates even more tension for Johnson's friends and family who say they are deeply worried about his safety. |

THE SON OF KIDNAPPED AMERICAN CONTRACTOR PAUL JOHNSON SAYS HIS FATHER WAS NEVER AFRAID OF WORKING IN THE MIDDLE EAST. PAUL JOHNSON THE THIRD AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TALKED BRIEFLY TO THE MEDIA OUTSIDE HIS GRANDMOTHER'S HOME IN TUCKERTON NEW JERSEY. HIS FATHER FIXES APACHE HELICOPTERS FOR LOCKHEED MARTIN IN SAUDI ARABIA. AL QUADA MILITANTS POSTED JOHNSONS PASSPORT PHOTOS AND HIS BUSINESS CARD ON A WEBSITE CLAIMING THEY KIDNAPPED HIM AND THREATENING TO TORTURE HIM IN RETALIATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF IRAQI P-O-W'S. JOHNSON WAS KIDNAPPED BEFORE THE MURDER OF AMERICAN KENNETH SCROGGS, WHO WAS ALSO LIVING IN SAUDI ARABIA AND DID BUSINESS WITH LOCKHEED MARTIN. JOHNSON'S SON EXTENDED HIS SYMPATHY TO THE SCROGGS FAMILY. THE US EMBASSY HAS BEEN WARNING AND INFORMING AMERICANS IN SAUDI ARABIA FOR WEEKS. ISSUING A TRAVEL WARNING AS FAR BACK AS ON APRIL 15TH, AND YESTERDAY OUTLINING PRECAUTIONS TO HELP AMERICANS AVOID ATTACK. THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 35 THOUSAND AMERICANS AND 30,000 BRITONS WORKING IN SAUDI ARABIA. THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT PROVIDES BASIC SECURITY, BUT ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS MAY BE PROHIBITIVE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREVIOUS ROUNDS OF ATTACKS, SUCH AS THE HOUSING COMPOUND ATTACK IN 2003, IS NOW, INDIVIDUAL VICTIMS APPEAR TO BE TARGETED. FOR MANY THE LIFESTYLE INSIDE GATED COMMUNITIES, AND THE PAY SCALE HAS BEEN WORTH THE RISK. |

So far, experts say there has been NO mass exodus from Saudi Arabia, although there are no official figures on how many have left the country. But the State Department warnings says private American citizens are STRONGLY urged to depart and U-S citizens should defer travel to the country. As for New Hampshire native Kenneth Scroggs-- his mother told us today that it could be two weeks before his body returns to the United States and the family can hold funeral services for him. |

New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed has resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment. Heed denies any wrongdoing. Governor Benson says the allegations stem from a conference Heed attended last month on preventing sexual and domestic abuse. The conference in Bretton Woods was organized by the governor and attorney general's office. Heed was in his second term as Cheshire County attorney when Governor Benson nominated him to be attorney general in February 2003. A republican Heed is a graduate of Dartmouth College who also worked in the criminal division of the attorney general's office. He left the attorney general's job to enter private practice with a Keene law firm. Deputy Attorney General Kelly Ayotte has been appointed to the post. |

| Canada Fertility Return to index of stories... |
Marie's clip 18:18 "I just wanted one girl and I got more than one girl. I got two girls and a boy." Narr 2: The Dover couple tried for five years to get pregnant. When fertility drugs failed, they looked for options. Marie's clip 5:40 "We had checked out the options of adoption and foster care, and the foster care was just - I just couldn't give them back." Narr 3: So, in January of 2003, the Duncans decided to try In Vitro Fertilization. They went to this fertility clinic in Montreal. Marie's clip 1:01 "We had pretty much made the decision when we went up there. We spoke to the doctor and we said we want to do it. He said 'well, go home and think about it,' and we said 'no, we're doing it.' " 113 Narr 4: Before going to Canada, the Duncans looked at clinics in Boston. Bob's clip 2:48 "Marie was quoted around $18,000 for one try." Marie's clip 1:35ish. "We went up there and got three tries for $6,500 American money. So we got three retrievals and three inseminations for $6,500." Narr 5: The Duncans admit they didn't know a lot about the Montreal clinic. But, without insurance to cover the costs here, they were willing to go there. Marie's clip 5:02 "Basically Bob and I took the time to go up there and talked with the people. We really had no idea - you are rolling the dice. We went in knowing that it was all a chance." 5:17 Narr 6: Marie's first attempt to get pregnant at the clinic was unsuccessful. Marie's clip 4:00ish ".but we knew we had another two chances. Finding out in October that we were pregnant with the three of them - it's a high risk pregnancy -- I'm not young, I'm 36 -- but we just crossed our fingers and had everyone pray for us." Narr 7: On May 14, one month premature, Logan received one brother and two sisters. Marie's clip 15:45 "They started with what they call a premie rollercoaster in the hospital. They go up and down, like we had Hope the first day in the room and she needed to go on oxygen, and Colby was on oxygen and they go up and down on the rollercoaster, but since they've been home they've all been gaining." 16:09 Narr 8: Although Marie was healthy throughout the pregnancy, her blood pressure soared shortly after the babies were born. She was quickly diagnosed with congestive heart failure, a rare complication of pregnancy. Marie's clip 12:15ish "With prescriptions, I have to take seven pills in the morning and four at night. And, some exercise - I'll do cardiac rehab three times per week. And knowing that I have help here. We have a lot of support - friends and family - it's a little more confident that I can go to class and not worry when I'm gone." Narr 9: Support has come from the community as well. With four children now to take care of, money is tight. Marie's clip 12:37 "Volunteering time, people have brought diapers, everything, formula. I mean the community has been awesome, awesome. And you don't know how to thank anybody who does stuff like that for you. 12:53 Narr 10: Despite many sleepless nights, the Duncan's are happy they made the trip north. After all, they went looking for one child and came home with three. Marie's clip 17:45 "We took the chance with the three embryos being transferred. There was only a 5% chance that all three would attach and we got the 5% of course. We defied those odds but it could have been six. Thank god, three's plenty." 18:03 Narr 11: For NH Outlook, I'm Susan Hajdu. |

Finally, a group of Portsmouth school children travelled to the bottom of the north Atlantic to watch Dr. Bob Ballard return to the Titanic. and they never left the seacoast. The children were able to see vivid underwater imagery and communicate in real time with the ocean explorer by way of the "Immersion Theater Project." The project combined high definition robotic cameras with Internet 2 technology to bring the New Franklin School students right on deck. The seacoast science center sponsored last week's interactive experience. The University of New Hampshire provided the technology. Videographer Todd Ziemek was there. |

Tuesday, June 15, 2004: We pre-taped a discussion that will air tomorrow at 4:45pm. We had a developing story that Peter Heed resigned as NH Attorney General so after the taped discussion we had to make a graphic of Heed's picture. We also had to update the script as well as the script of our lead story on the NH native killed in Saudia Arabia. That delayed the taping a bit, we finished at 6:30pm. |
