 Ultimate Grooving and the PigskinBy John Walters on Friday, January 30, 2004.Bedford native Heather Paul began alpine skiing at age two. By her junior year in college, and at the top of her racing career, she got tired of the scene and quit. She learned a different type a skiing the next year- telemark. It's like alpine, but the binding leaves the heel free and the turns are executed differently. Heather became a world champion in the sport by the mid-nineties. She now lives in Barrington and runs Ultimate Groove- a telemark ski clinic for women that travels to different ski areas.

Final Thoughts as we Move OnBy James Farrell on Thursday, January 29, 2004.38 people ran for President in New Hampshire. Some ran lots of ads, got national media attention, appeared in debates, drew big crowds, and received thousands of votes. Others shared a store front, campaigned alone, were ignored by the journalists, were sometimes ridiculed, and earned only a few votes. The ads that ran varied in quality. Some struck an elevated tone, with dignified music, impressive graphics, and imposing images of the candidates. Others were simpler, featuring ordinary people, a memorable phrase, and a concise message. To me, all were welcome.

Pulling the StringsBy John Walters on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.It’s a primary-free zone tonight on the Front Porch, but not entirely politics-free. Ted Leach jokes that running a marionette theatre is not much different than running for political office. And he would know. For much of the 90's Ted ran the New England Marionette Opera in Peterborough. Today, he serves as the Republican State Representative from Hancock and Chairman of the Clean Air Subcommittee. In his spare time, he is writing an opera, a novel, and a musical and pulling all the right strings to make his various projects a reality. listen:
Its QuirkyBy Ted Jastrzembski on Wednesday, January 28, 2004.Maybe the result wasn't so much any meltdown of the Dean movement, as it was Kerry taking skillfull advantage of a crack in the attention sequence many Dean leaners had locked into. Kerry got a second look after a lackluster Fall start, and voters liked what they saw as they got to spend more time around him in Iowa and NH. In the end it comes down to Democrat and independent desperation to move out of the conservative, ultraright, greedy, arrogant funk the country is in politically. That means "Electability" in November will continue to be the name of the game. |
