ArchivesMoose Are On The MoveBy Rosemary Conroy on Friday, November 3, 2006.New Hampshire has record numbers of moose, and they're on the move across the region. Shea Porter Rises in Poll with Volunteer HelpBy David Darman on Friday, November 3, 2006.The latest UNH Granite State Poll shows Democrat Carol Shea Porter closing in on Republican Jeb Bradley's lead for the 1st district Congressional seat. The poll gives Bradley a five point lead, at 47%, but it's a far cry from the 20 point lead he enjoyed earlier this fall. Bradley has the benefits of incumbency and over a million dollar in contributions. But Shea-Porter, with only a fraction of the funding, may have something Bradley lacks. New Hampshire Public Radio's David Darman has more Democrats Push for State Senate ControlBy Dan Gorenstein on Friday, November 3, 2006.New Hampshire's two Congressional races have drawn intense interest in the final days leading up to the November 7th election. But while the state senate races might not enjoy the same exposure, some of them are as competitive as the contests at the top of the ballot. At stake may be control of the 24-seat chamber. New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein has this overview. A Letter from Iraq: First Sgt Victor MayBy Mark Bevis on Friday, November 3, 2006.The 36-43rd Company of the New Hampshire National Guard is settling into its new duties. The 150 men and women who make up the 36-43rd are currently stationed just outside Baghdad. The maintenance company is providing security at a military prison at Camp Victory. There they process prisoners, hold them and get them ready for trial. Last week, NHPR's Mark Bevis spoke with the Commanding Officer, Captain Tony Gagnon, about the company's new mission. This week we hear from the Company's First Sergeant Victor May. The Death Penalty in New HampshireBy Laura Knoy on Friday, November 3, 2006.New Hampshire has not executed anyone since Howard Long in 1939. Now, with the murder of a Manchester police officer, the Attorney General's Office is pursuing the death penalty for the alleged perpetrator. We'll look at New Hampshire's long history with the death penalty, how complicated these types of cases are and try to get an idea of where Granite Staters are in terms of the ultimate capital punishment. Laura's guests are Richard McNamara, civil attorney who is President of the NH Bar, author of numerous books on criminal procedure and a former State Prosecutor with the AG Office and Barbara Kershen, Staff Attorney for the NH Civil Liberties Union, former member of the Public Defender's Office and former Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Justice Bureau in the 90's. Kershen was part of the defense of Gordon Perry in 1997, the last person to have capital murder charges brought against him in the state of New Hampshire. We'll also hear from New Hampshire Union Leader Reporter Kathryn Marchocki who has been covering the story of Officer Michael Briggs. The White Mountains LegacyBy Liz Bulkley on Friday, November 3, 2006.In the 19th century, the do-no-wrong philosopher Henry David Thoreau once set the White Mountains on fire. Hundreds have died on their slopes, and thousands have been drawn there to paint and ski and hike. We're going to look at the mystique and heritage of the White Mountains in a conversation with Christopher Johnson, author of This Grand and Magnificent Place. Chris will be doing readings and book signings throughout New Hampshire this weekend. |
