US Ocean Policy Commission to Push Recommendations

By Doug MacPherson on Monday, September 27, 2004.

The final report of the U-S Commission on Ocean Policy was delivered to the White House last week. It contains more than two hundred recommendations for ways in which the United States should change the management of its oceans. The commission is now turning its attention to insuring that its recommendations are not ignored. To that end, U-S Senator Judd Gregg held a hearing on the report at the University of New Hampshire today [Monday]. Much of the hearing centered on what kind of government oversight is needed.

The Festival Express

By John Walters on Monday, September 27, 2004.

In the summer of 1970, some of the biggest names in music climbed aboard
Festival Express for a five-day extravaganza. The artists included Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, the Band, Delaney and Bonnie, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. They traveled across Canada playing concerts in three major cities. Also on the train was a young lighting technician named Van McLeod (you may also know him as the state Commissioner of Cultural Resources). There was unforgettable music at the three concerts, but on the train, there was an almost endless jam session. More than 30 years later, the scene is captured in a new documentary called Festival Express. The film will be shown Wednesday night at 7:30 at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord. 225-1111.
