Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Coming up later we'll look at New Hampshire people trying to gain a better understanding of their Muslim neighbors but first we turn our attention to what continues to make headlines here and around the country - the threat of bioterrorism. |
| Anthrax/IntroKassler Return to index of stories... |
Tuesday, authorities confirmed that two Washington D-C postal workers died from inhalation anthrax. Also, anthrax contamination has been found at the postal facility where white house mail is processed. Thousands of DC area postal workers have been gathering at a city hospital to pick up their supply of Cipro - the antibiotic prescribed to protect against anthrax. As the federal government continues to deal with anthrax, it's also examining the nation's preparedness when it comes to other possible bio-terrorism threats - like smallpox. We talked to the State medical Director Dr. William Kassler about the nation's plans to increase the number of smallpox vaccines and his take on New Hampshire's readiness should any outbreak occur. |

| Seabrook Return to index of stories... |
A Massachusetts legislative committee has passed a bill that would make potassium iodide pills available to people within ten miles of nuclear power plants. That would include those in the Bay State who are near the Seabrook nuclear power plant. Potassium iodide is touted by some as a way to protect people from nuclear radiation and prevent cancer. Since the September eleventh terrorist attacks, people near nuclear plants have been buying the pills. So what would the potassium iodide pills really do? We'll be following up on this story on a future Outlook. |
| Children Conf Return to index of stories... |
Governor Jeanne Shaheen says the terrorist attacks should not overshadow government's responsibility to take care of children. Tuesday, the governor addresed child advocates in Manchester. She said the health, safety and education of children should remain a priority. |
| Backlash Return to index of stories... |
As New Hampshire and the nation wage a war on terrorism, some have made innocent people the targets of their anger. In Goffstown, police say there have been six incidents of Anti Arab-American graffiti. The messages seem to be aimed at people with Arabic-sounding last names - though some are not of Arab descent. |
| Intro New London Return to index of stories... |
In an effort to combat such incidents, last week, in New London, area churches, along with the New Hampshire Council on World Affairs, held an inter-faith forum. The goal was to help the community better understand Islam and the people who practice that religion. We now share with you some of the dialogue of that night. |
| Intro Muslim students Return to index of stories... |
Besides taking the lives of thousands of innocent people, the terrorist attacks also managed to cast a shadow over some 1 billion Muslims worldwide. Millions of American Muslims are being forced to defend themselves and their religion from indiscriminate suspicion. Producer Chip Neal visited with two Muslim high school students from Bedford who are working hard to educate the public and lift that shadow of suspicion. http:/www.islam-guide.com |
| Muslim students Return to index of stories... |
Ahsan Ali and his sister Asra are American Citizens, they were born in Chicago, they now live in Bedford and attend Manchester West High School - and they are practicing Muslims. Their parents who have been living in the United States for almost 23 years are from India and are now naturalized American citizens. And like all of us, Asra and Ahsan were shocked by the terrorist attacks on September 11th. They have been working to educate the public about Muslim beliefs and practices. We learn about some of their religious practices and see some of their religious dress. A small hat called a "Kuffi" to ward off evil and a "hijab" a scarf used by women to maintain modesty and chastity http:/www.islam-guide.com |

| Acid Rain Return to index of stories... |
Another New Hampshire company is being criticised for not doing enough to protect Granite State waterwys. The New Hampshire Clean Power Coalition says a decade after legislation required new clean air standards - acid rain continues to fall. Tuesday the coalition pointed to a report - it says - links emissions from the Merrimack Station - a coal-burning power plant in Bow - with acid rain that's falling on nearby waterways. The group is calling on the state to give power plants an incentive to reduce emissions.The report suggests sulfur dioxide from the plant - owned by Public Service of New Hampshire - is polluting waterways downwind. Coalition Member Georgia Murray commended PSNH for cleaning up some of the plant's nitrogen oxide emissions, but says more needs to be done. |
