| Hello/Heed & Ayotte Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Those stories in a moment. We begin with word that former Attorney General Peter Heed has been cleared of wrongdoing. A 20-page report by the Sullivan County Attorney was released Monday. The report says Heed approached a state employee on the dance floor during a conference 2 months ago -- and grabbed her hips for a second. The report concluded that Heed's contact with the woman- while not invited or consented to -- was NOT criminal. Heed says he's pleased with the findings. Shortly after the incident Heed submitted his resignation-- and the governor nominated Deputy Attorney General Kelly Ayotte to replace him. If confirmed --she'll become the state's first female attorney general. Ayotte sat down with NH Outlook's Allison McNair and had this to say about the climate at the attorney general's office since Heed's departure. We'll have the full interview with Kelly Ayotte , Tuesday on NH Outlook -- where she outlines her priorities and talks about the challenges in taking on a position under controversial circumstances. |

With the recent surge in gas prices many drivers are looking for alternatives to cut back on the pinch at the pumps. Americans haven't totally changed their driving preferences to fuel efficient vehicles but a good portion of the population is taking a look at the newest technology on the market-- hybrids. The local Sierra Club last week welcomed the Coastal Hybrid Evolution Tour to New Hampshire. Tour organizers made a stop in Rye to educate beachgoers about how using Hybrid vehicles can be good for the environment. The Hybrid Tour began in Florida on Memorial Day weekend and will continue on to New Brunswick, Canada for Labor Day. It's one of three hybrid road tours taking place across the country this summer. |

In NH -- 32-million vehicle miles are driven every day --and motor vehicles are the largest sincle pollution source in the state. That's why NH is promoting the use of alternative fuel vehicles Government and Industry can play a role when it comes to renewable energy -but, it's "consumers" that drive the market. If Hollywood leads by example then hybrid cars are set for a glittering future. Stars such as Billy Crystal, Harrison Ford and Susan Sarandon have been seen riding in the Toyota Prius-- and the list of hybrid car owners keeps getting bigger. |

Even Sport Utility Vehicles are going electric. Ford has made a hybrid version of its Escape SUV -- it's the first on the market. It looks the same on the outside but inside it contains a battery pack that allows it to run on electricity. The 4-wheel drive model of the 2005 Escape Hybrid -- costs just under 29-thousand -- 33-hundred dollars more than a standard Escape SUV. The hybrid version, which gets an estimated 35 to 40 miles per gallon, goes on sale late this summer. It also qualifies for various federal and state incentives, including a clean fuel vehicles federal tax deduction. New Hampshire does NOT offer any state incentive. |
| Intro Laura Bush Return to index of stories... |
Giving youngsters an "incentive" to Read over the summer was behind First Lady Laura Bush's visit to the Portsmouth Library this past week. A "Summer Readers Achiever's" Program in Portsmouth is one of 11 sites around the country sponsored by the "No Child Left Behind" federal education program. They have some 500 children enrolled in summer reading programs designed to keep kids involved with books throughout the summer. Chip Neal reports on the First Lady's visit. |

With so many hybrids ENTERING THE MARKET, SOME ARE ASKING ABOUT POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. Hybrid Cars: Script B-Roll 12:34:16 Tape 3: Fred walks to car and gets in. B-Roll 12:38:29 Tape 3: B-Roll 01:41:42 Tape 2: Autofair Toyota Dealership Sign Ryan: 01:02:46 Tape 1: Good morning, welcome to Autofair Toyota. B-Roll 01:01 30 Tape 1: Wide shot of Toyota Prius Track 4: Ryan Erskine is a sales associate at Autofair Toyota in Manchester. Ryan 01:02:53 Tape 1: This is a Toyota Prius, it is our hybrid vehicle here at Toyota. Track 5: The Prius went on the market one year after the Insight. Ryan 01:02:58 Tape 1: It has a nice symbionic system. The two systems work off of each other instead of working independently… In city driving, you mainly work off your hybrid engine… The only time you'll be using your gas is when you hit highway driving… When you do press on the brakes at any speed above 5 miles per hour, the energy, instead of being lost, is being converted back to the engine and the battery so that the energy is stored and never lost… It's the cleanest, very efficient, very economical vehicle. Ryan 1:07:45 Tape 1: Specific components of the hybrid system are covered for eight years, or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first on the car. Fred 13:38:27 Tape 3: It's not a powerhouse, it's not a muscle car, it's not overpowered for its size like most cars are these days, and the only thing is it's really small, so I deliberately chose it because for the most part I'm using it for commuting. Ryan 01:25:04 Tape 1: One of the main advantages that you'll find is the gas efficiency of the vehicle… On the Prius, you're going to save a lot. And that's really what it comes down to. You're going to be getting about 52 miles per gallon in the city, and 45 on the highway. Why you get more in the city than the highway is when you drive more off of your electric engine. Fred 13:41:35 Tape 3: I picked the car up from the dealer one Friday night, and early Saturday morning I loaded it up with my stuff and drove to West Virginia, and got all the way to the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border before I had to stop for gas. B-Roll 01:08:15 Tape 1: Tight shot of battery Ryan: You'll also find your battery, located in the rear of the trunk, which is down on the side. Track 6: The 274-volt battery can range from $3,000 to $8,000. It needs replacing every eight to ten years. B-Roll 01:11:23 Tape 1: Underneath hood of car. B-Roll 01:17:41 Tape 1: Tight shot of seatbelt Ryan 01:16:28 Tape 1: …people are looking for a lot of things, not only an economical vehicle that will give them great gas mileage, but also occupant room and storage room within a vehicle are people's main points whenever they want to buy a car. Track 7: The Honda Insight is a two-seater with minimal storage capacity in the back. The Insight keeps its batteries on the floor behind the seats. As a result, there is no trunk and no backseat. B-Roll 01:20:30 Tape 1: Ryan getting into driver's seat Ryan 01:20:31 Tape 1: I'll show you some of the interior features available in the Prius. B-Roll 01:23:38 Tape 1: Info and menu buttons on display screen Ryan 01:20:40 Tape 1: Looking at the display screen, and a couple nice benefits it gives us. One, on the Prius it will show us a consumption of energy as you drive, how much energy you will use in the city and highway, so you can see the differences, and then it will show you how much energy you're using and where the energy goes, and what's lost and what's restored and given back to the battery of the vehicle… The Prius also comes with a navigation system which you will find on most models - it would operate the same way that your displays do up here as far as your push button and audio system and your menu screen. And that is an option. Fred 13:37:15 Tape 3: I found myself looking at the instrumentation all the time because it tells me whether I'm drawing on the electric or charging the electric, or how many miles per gallon I was getting instantaneously. B-Roll 13:49:00 Tape 3: Tight shot of Fred's hands playing with buttons of radio, changing stations, temperature dial, speedometer. B-Roll 13:56:46 Tape 3: Tight shot of Hybrid sign on car with Nashua dealer sticker Track 8: It costs between $35,000 to $40,000 to make a hybrid, but they cost a lot less to buy. Ryan 01:28:10 Tape 1: Toyota has to find a way to make a better car every year, and keeping the price at an affordable area, so not only you, but most people can afford… I'm sure a lot of technology and a lot of engineers had to be considered and therefore the original cost was a little high… But after time you don't have to keep spending money on that knowledge. Ryan 01:35:42 Tape 2: We're gonna be happy as long as the consumer finds what's right for them. Is this right for everyone? Maybe not. But for a lot of people, it is… For years everyone wanted a hybrid vehicle, where's the hybrid vehicle, where's my electric car, where's the one that will get me to and from work every day and save me money? Well, we built it, now we're just waiting for you. B-Roll 01:40:20: Wide shot of Prius driving Fred 13:42:56 Tape 3: I'm really happy to drive it every day. B-Roll 14:19:58 Tape 3: Driving next to Fred in car B-Roll 14:09:39 Tape 3: Insight driving down highway past camera. Track 9: This is Cameron MacKay for New Hampshire Outlook. |

Monday, July 12, 2004: We delayed taping by about 1/2 hour to get into the show a late story on the clearing of former Attorney General Peter Heed. We edited a sot from Kelly Ayotte on her nomination to his position -- promoting the interview with her that will air Tuesday. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the Peter Heed full screen graphic for the story that we had made and used several times in previous shows so we had to remake the graphic. That was somewhat troubling given our recent conversations about graphics. A problem we continue to work on. We had a few "hiccups" during taping so taping didn't finish until about 6:15pm. We talked about what went wrong after the show so, hopefully, it wouldn't happen again. |
