Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Judicial Reform Bill Return to index of stories... |
There will be a new committee to investigate and discipline justices. Today Governor Jeanne Shaheen signed legislation that will set up the Judicial Conduct Committee which will be independent of the state Supreme Court. The governor, Senate president, House speaker and high court will appoint members. The commission will hire its own staff and maintain its own offices. The current committee has been appointed by the court, receives its budget from the court and answers to the court. Critics say that system has been too secretive, and open to influence. We'll focus on Judicial Reform Monday night here on NH Outlook. |
| Forest Sale Return to index of stories... |
Concern over the potential sale of a huge section of the north country Forest land has local and state officials callilng for safeguards. Earlier this week, International Paper announced it is selling 171 thousand acres at the northern tip of the state. Gene Chandler, the speaker of the house, wants the state to be ready to act quickly in order to protect the interests of the region. Chandler said the state may have to put up some of its own money-- together with federal money and private interests -- to buy easements which would allow traditional uses such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and logging to continue. |

| Intro Phobias Return to index of stories... |
It's Friday the 13th. For some, the date is downright frightening. If you're afraid of the number 13, some may call you superstitious. Or you could have triskadekaphobia. But when does fear cross over and become a phobia? That was the discussion I had tonight with Andie Card, a woman who was diagnosed with agoraphia. or the fear of leaving home. And psychologist Peter Kritkausky who first explained the difference between fear and phobia. |

| Intro Simmons Return to index of stories... |
Finally tonight. a story of inspiration. At age 35, Doctor Philip Simmons had everything going for him - a successful career and a loving family living in the house of his dreams overlooking the white mountains. But when he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease in 1993, everything changed. Ben French first brought us this story last spring. Simmons tells us, in dealing with his disease, he learned the art of living. |

29:49:00PhillIn the book I tell the story of some of my literal falls.as i was losing my ability to walk.I would find myself with my face in the dirt. and there I am next thing I knew, on the ground.but what I was doing wad learninbg to fall.we fall on our faces when we are revealed as being imperfect people Track: already an award winning writer, philosopher, and Unitarian preacher with a beautiful family- Simmon's greatest contribution might be his decision to share his fatal disease. Simmons relates his experience to Plato's cave allegory explaining that he has been pushed out of the cave- seen the light- and now has the extraordinary opportunity to go back into the dark cave and share his life and illness as a beginning- not an end- and his inspiration is contagious to almost everyone he meets. 13:34PhilIve learned to let go of a lot of the things i thought were important IÕvelearned to focus on the things that are most important which means my family and finding meaningfull work to do with the powers still at my disposal doing everything I can to help people while i can. OUT14:01:00 Track: With a missionary zeal for his work Simmons shares his disease and his insights with the community- recently he was able to spend and afternoon with a group of students from Kingswood regional High School in Wolfeboro. 18:02I think in any situation where you see a person who is obviosly having to deal with some daunting cercomstances as he has- the it has put a different perspective on his life and allow you to say- hes gone through this how am i applying it to mine. 18:22OUT 14:58:00PHILI love to work with people that age-with young people who are so open to questioning the most fundamental issues in their lives and iÕm just ther to facilitate that process that is allready going on for them- 14:49PhilI'm gonna have you write a fair amout today so get ready 22:29Tifany carberry; student, Kingswood Regional High Schoolwhats ultimately meaningful in your life was the third questionand then you really start to think -wow- whats really , really meaningful in my life- and I definelty had to say taking all that we have in this life and being thankful for it whether its good or bad- and taking those things and handleing them with grace. 22:50OUT 15:39Philthere so fresh and come at thingfs spontaniously with such genuineness- its very enlivening OUT15:50:00 Track: Phil's wife Katherine is a sculptor and teaches art part time at Plymouth State college and at her studio next to their home As an artist traveling to exhibit her artwork has often become difficult since her husbands diagnosis 17:06:00KATHERINEI havnÕt changed things a whole lot- I still like to spend time in my studio- in that solitude tha we are speaking ofi think that is essential to processing a lot of my own feelings about whats going on. OUT17:23:00 16:24:00KATHERINEone of the gifts of ALS is that it makes you realize that every day needs to be very full- so you start to live with a keener sense of what it is you want in your life- and some thinsg fall away and other thinsgf becoem more important. OUT16:46:00 25:15:00Philwe live in a wonderfull commty here, we have a great bunch of friends who- a year and a half ago organized a group called friends of phil and katherine or FOPAK for short and thevÕve banded togfther to help us out in all kinds of ways- uh bringing meals, driving the kids where they neeed to go, helpong out with various aspects of my care, making sure i get outside everyday- and theyÕve been a real blessing in our lives very special. OUT26:02:00 19:20:00KATHERINE Simmons; Phil's wifeWithout FOPAK my family my chil;dren my artwork- I couldnÕt do it I'm luckyt to have married an artist for many reasons- I think we both understand the place of creativity in our llives and both of us need hefty doses of solitude so we are compatible that wayu as well. OUT16:00:00 26:53PhilIn the book i talk about going to my kids piano recital and how I usually dread these events and sitting there to my surprise being deliughted by the music- and tehn being saddened by the thought that i can no longer play music myself- and then thinking wll okay at least someoone else is playing and carrying on where I cant I, and thats the conventional solace we give ourselves in those situations- but as i describe in the book- the next step is where something extraordinary happens- when i enter into what i call big mind- where suddenly it was as though we were playing the piano and there was no longer this distinction of the children up there at the keyboard and us down here in the audience- we were making music- big mind is that state where the sense of our separateness from others falls away and is revealed as an illusion and we fall into the experience of our connectedness- its an extraordinary moment and not something i live in al the time but is a nice thing to have glimpsed. OUT28:56:00 |
