Building a Bike Path from Maine to Florida

By Jon Greenberg on Monday, September 20, 2004.

Today, a group of nine bicyclists pass through New Hampshire's seacoast on the inaugural run of the East Coast Greenway. Their trip is a case where the medium is the message. Their goal is to draw attention to a proposed bike path that they hope someday will extend from Maine to Florida. If all goes well, they will finish their ride to the Sunshine State the day after the presidential election in November.

The East Coast Greenway is an ambitious project that has been inching toward completion since the early 1990's. New Hampshire Public Radio's Jon Greenberg has more.

New Paper For Young People Hits Streets in Nashua

By Rebecca Kaufman on Sunday, September 19, 2004.

A new publication is on the streets in Nashua, Manchester, and Lowell, Massachusetts.

It's a free weekly magazine called One-Six-Eight and it's a product of the Telegraph....the company that publishes the daily newspaper the Nashua Telegraph.

And while 1-6-8 is a new paper, it's not a newspaper.

It's billing itself as a lifestyle magazine for young adults.

It's filled with suggestions about where to eat, drink, and have a good time.

New Hamphire Public Radio's Rebecca Kaufman has the story.

2 Topics: Elizabeth Edwards, Abu Ghraib

By Laura Knoy on Sunday, September 19, 2004.

We'll spend the first half of the show talking with Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards. She spent many days in New Hampshire campaigning for her husband during the primary, and will be back in the Granite State on Monday talking to voters about the Kerry-Edwards ticket. We'll talk to Elizabeth Edwards about her experiences on the campaign trail and the issue she devotes the most time to: health care.

In the second part of the show, we'll talk with John Hutson, dean of the Franklin Pierce Law Center. Hutson, former Judge Advocate for the Navy, made a recent trip to D.C. with other retired military brass to voice concern over the investigations into the abuses at Abu Ghraib. Hutson is calling for a new independent investigation into the widespread abuses. We will also hear from Congressmen Jeb Bradley who serves on the Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committee.
