| Abuse Response Return to index of stories... |
Sexual abuse by priests has done "immeasurable" damage to the church. That's what the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said Wednesday. In a written statement, Bishop Wilton Gregory says he expresses - quote - on behalf of all the bishops, our profound sorrow that some of our priests were responsible for this abuse under our watch.They are our children as well, and we continue to apologize to the victims and to their parents and their loved ones for this failure in our pastoral responsibilities. The statement is a response to troubles in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. Cardinal Bernard Law has admitted approving the transfer of a priest to another parish after learning he had molested children. More than 130 people say the former Reverend John Geoghan molested them between 1962 and 1995. And late last week, the Manchester Diocese has released the names of 14 priests who have been accused of sexual abuse of children between the years of 1963 and 1987. |
| Slot Machines Return to index of stories... |
The Senate has killed a bill to legalize video slot machines. The bills sponsor, Manchester Republican Ted Gatsas, had maintained that video slot machines would ease pressure on the state to raise taxes. Gatsas estimated the slots would raise 378 million dollars a year -- enough to shore up state finances, lower the state property tax, cover operating costs and share with the host communities and all ten counties. Opponents said the crime and social costs outweigh any revenues taken in from the slot machines. |
| Cloning VO Return to index of stories... |
Should New Hampshire ban human cloning? Several state legislators think so and have introduced a bill to ban it. At a hearing before the House Health and Human Services Committee, some committee members asked tough questions about whether a ban would stifle promising medical research just as it's getting beginning. But supporters of the bill argued that now is the time to act, before researchers find a way to clone humans. They say scientists should find other ways than cloning to pursue their medical research. |

Cloning tape: 10:08:09 The stem cell research is going forward on two tracks. The track that is using the 60 cell lines that President Bush allowed to be used, and is going forward using bone marrow now for the stem cells, using placentas, using umbilical cords, and using adult cells. There's plenty of material without trying to play God and trying to make humans just to have them as farms. cloning tape: 10:25:55 We, I think, would be wrong to create a ban before we have some of evidence of what kind of research product we could have. On the other hand, I have some sympathy - we're certainly not going to grow a child to be truly alive and able to live outside the mother's uterus - and kill it for something. I think that's outrageous and I wouldn't do that. That's not a religious feeling - that's a medical feeling. I just can't take life for that purpose. |

The cloning bill could impose fines of up to a million dollars on anyone convicted of cloning a human. The House Health & Human Services Committee will debate the bill and bring it to the full House for a vote. |

EDITOR NOTE: B-ROLL OF PATIENTS BEING EXAMINED BY DOCTORS ON TAPE 3, AT 38:46…. DIFFERENT PATIENT ON TAPE 3, 42:43…. THIRD PATIENT ON TAPE 2 AT 5:48 ONWARD THIS PATIENT IS DOING SOMETHING SOME SAY IS A BIT OUT OF THE ORDINARY. HE'S SEEING HIS DOCTOR FOR A PHYSICAL CHECK-UP. STUDIES SHOW MANY MEN IN NEW ENGLAND ARE FAR MORE RELUCTANT THAN WOMEN TO GO TO THE DOCTOR. CHIRON: DR. HENRY ELLIS - DARTMOUTH -HITCHCOCK MANCHESTER "I THINK MEN ARE RELUCTANT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE IT'S NOT PART OF THEIR USUAL ROUTINE… IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY THINK ABOUT … AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO DO. MOST MEN IN THEIR 20'S AND 30'S DON'T GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE THEY FEEL WELL. UNLIKE WOMEN… WHO HAVE REGULAR CHECK-UPS…MEN DO NOT HAVE A REGULAR CHECK-UP ROUTINE THAT THEY GO TO." CHIRON: RONALD GRADY -PATIENT "MOST OF THE TIME I DON'T THINK WE NEED ANYTHING BUT ASPIRIN TO GET BY…. AND MYSELF, I HATE PUTTING THE BURDEN OFF ON SOMEBODY ELSE. …BY BEING OUT OF WORK. I GOTTA REALLY BE REALLY SICK BEFORE I COME IN TO A DOCTOR." STUDIES SHOW ONLY 60-PERCENT OF MEN HAVE HAD A PHYSICAL IN THE PAST YEAR…COMPARED TO 76-PERCENT OF WOMEN. DOCTORS THINK THEY KNOW WHY. "MEN OFTEN FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GIVING UP CONTROL…ESPECIALLY ANSWERING QUESTIONS, GETTING UNDRESSED, BEING PROBED BY ANOTHER PERSON… I THINK THERE'S SOME FEAR THAT … THE DOCTOR MAY FIND SOMETHING AND THEY'RE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT THAT. BUT CERTAINLY I THINK THEY DON'T LIKE THE SUBSERVIENT ROLE THAT A PATIENT MAY FEEL IN THE PRESENCE OF A PHYSICIAN. AS MEN GET OLDER… THEY ARE AT GREATER RISK FOR CERTAIN DISEASES. DESPITE THAT, SOME MEN STILL SHY AWAY FROM PREVENTIVE MEASURES… OFTEN REGRETTING THEIR DECISION. CHIRON: MIKE TUCKER -PATIENT "BEFORE … I NEVER FELT LIKE I REALLY LIKE I HAD TO GO SEE A DOCTOR… BUT WHEN I GOT SERIOUSLY HURT AT MY JOB… AND THEN I FOUND OUT I WAS A DIABETIC…. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO SEE A DOCTOR… AND IF I'D GONE EARLIER, PRIOR TO THAT… I'D PROBABLY BEEN ABLE TO TAKE MORE CONTROL OF MY DIABETES… AND I WOULDN'T BE IN THE TROUBLE I'M IN TODAY.' ONE DISEASE THAT BECOMES MORE PREVALENT WITH AGE IS COLON… OR COLO-RECTAL CANCER. FOR MEN AND WOMEN OVER 50… IT CAN BECOME A KILLER. CHIRON: PENNY MALISKA- AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY "COLON CANCER IS THE THIRD MOST FREQEUNTLY DIAGNOSED CANCER IN THE U-S. … BUT IT'S THE SECOND LEADING CANCER RELATED DEATH AMONG OUR POPULATION. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE… THIS YEAR WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT 700 PEOPLE WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH COLO-RECTAL CANCER… AND 300 PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE EXPECTED TO DIE FROM IT THIS YEAR. THIS FORM OF CANCER IS EASILY PREVENTED… BUT EARLY DIAGNOSIS IS KEY. "ITS VERY PREVENTABLE. IF YOU HAVE A SCREENING TEST… OR A TEST TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF POLYPS… THEY CAN BE PAINLESSLY REMOVED DURING THAT PROCEDURE… AND IN THAT CASE, THE CANCER NEVER DEVELOPS. THAT'S WHY WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE THE SCREEENING DONE… IN ORDER TO LOCATE POLYPS IF THEY'RE PRESENT… HAVE THEM REMOVED…NEVER DEVELOP COLON CANCER TO BEGIN WITH. THAT'S WHY THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY HAS DEVELOPED A SERIES OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT 'POLYP MAN" THE CAMPAIGN USES HUMOR TO EDUCATE VIEWERS ABOUT A SERIOUS SUBJECT. CHIRON: AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY PSA "COLON CANCER ALMOST ALWAYS STARTS WITH A POLYP. GET THE POLYP EARLY AND STOP COLON CANCER BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS…. WHERE'D YOU THINK YOU WERE RUNNING TO?…. I DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOU GUYS THERE…. I WANNA TALK TO MY LAWYER "THE HUMOROUS APPROACH WITH POLYP MAN… WE THINK WILL BE VERY SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE IT GIVES PEOPLE AN ABILITY TO LAUGH AND BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE… DISCUSSING THE TOPIC OF COLO-RECTAL CANCER. IF YOU CAN BRING YOURSELF TO SAY THE WORD POLYP…. AND REMEMBER THE MESSAGE OF THE ADS… YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE LIKELY TO SEEK A SCREENING YOURSELF. "WHAT?…. 'WE'RE READY TO BE VERY CIVIL ABOUT THIS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A POLYP IS GOING TO SHOW UP. GET THE POLYP EARLY AND STOP COLON CANCER BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS. JUST GET A TEST FROM YOU DOCTOR STANDUP CHIRON: TIM ESTILOZ - NH OUTLOOK "ONE OF THE MAIN MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT COLON CANCER IS THAT IT'S PRIMARILY A MEN'S DISEASE. BUT THE TRUTH … IS THAT AFFECTS BOTH MEN AND WOMEN EQUALLY. AND OFTEN BOTH SEXES ARE EQUALLY RELUCTANT TO HAVE THEMSELVES CHECKED OUT BY A DOCTOR. "IT'S A SENSITIVE AREA TO DISCUSS WITH A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER… OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. PEOPLE SOMETIMES HAVE THE IDEA THAT THE TESTING MIGHT BE AWKWARD… PAINFUL… EMBARRSING TO BRING UP. AND TYPICALLY MEN FRQUENT HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS LESS OFTEN THAN WOMEN… REGARDLESS OF WHAT AREA WE'RE DISCUSSING. BUT WHEN THE MATTER IS AS SENSITIVE AS COLO-RECTAL AREAS… PEOPLE AS YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND… ARE JUST UNWILLING TO BRING IT UP. SO HOW DO DOCTORS ENCOURAGE RELUCTANT PATIENTS TO SEEK HELP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE? "GETTING THE TRUST OF A PATIENT IS VERY IMPORTANT… AND THAT NOT OCCUR ON THE FIRST VISIT." "I THINK WHEN THEY REALIZE THAT THIS IS A NON-THREATENING VISIT. THAT WE'RE NOT HERE TO CROSS-EXAMINE THEM…WE'RE NOT HERE TO ASK PROBING QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME…. THEY MAY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE TALKING TO ME ABOUT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT THEY WISH TO TALK ABOUT. IN MANCHESTER, IM TIM ESTILOZ FOR NH OUTLOOK |

As of Wednesday, a wide variety of state licences are just a click away. New Hampshire is now offering fishing and hunting licences online, as well as renewals of professional licenses for engineers and architects. Governor Jeanne Shaheen was the first to use the new service. She filled out her application for a fishing licence and within minutes was able to print it out. All that's needed is a driver's licence and credit card. Hunters will also need a copy of last year's licence. You can also get permits for clamming and applications for the moose lottery. |

Women's Olympic hockey became a medal sport only four years ago at the Nagano games, in Japan. It seems, however, there's already a heated rivalry brewing between Canada and the United States. The Americans won the gold in 1998, Canada the silver. Thursday night, they'll play again for the top prize. As Phil Vaughn shows us one of the players that will be on the ice is Concord's Tara Mounsey. |

Sound of Olympic hockey from home video Narr - This is what Olympic hockey looks like through the eyes of a proud father. Sound of cheering Sue 13:00- "Mike starts running down towards the glass and I say, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'I'm going down to the ice. What are they going to do, throw me out of the place?'" Narr - It was 1998. Mike and Sue Mounsey were in Japan to watch their daughter Tara win an Olympic gold medal. Mike 14:10 - "Before I got on the ice, I was running down, I got down to within three rows and it was hard to find anyone because the girls were all hugging each other and passing around the flag. When Tara and I finally made eye contact, we just did thumbs up and smiled. She did an awesome job and was smiling from ear to ear." Narr - Olympic dreams often start at a young age. Not for Tara, however. When she was a girl, Olympic hockey was for men only. Not until 1998 did it become an Olympic medal sport for women. Her team was the first to be awarded gold. Sound of celebration dissolve to shot of Tara as Pee Wee Tim:30 - "I first met her at hockey camp when I was 10 years old, down at the Brooks hockey school. She was the first person I met." Narr - Tim Walch is the hockey coach at Bow High School. He played the game for four years at the University of New Hampshire. Before that, Tim was a teammate of Tara's at Concord High School. Tim 2:15 - "There were a lot of doubts when she got to high school -is she going to play with the guys? But, she stepped in freshman year and played with the seniors as a top pairing on our high school team that lost only two games that season. At the time she was probably the second best defenseman on the team. Then in her sophomore year, it was unfortunate - she tore her knee up and ended up taking two years off." Mick clip - how she dealt with the injury. Tim 2:50 - "Then she came back her senior year in high school and she had a great year. She got to play with her brother. She got player of the year award in the state of NH. They won an undefeated state championship and she was the captain of the team." Mick - what it was like playing with her. Narr - After high school, Tara went to play at Brown University. Mick now plays at the University of New Hampshire. Mike 21:55 - "They both, Mick is the type of kid that every game he plays in is like pond hockey. He just goes out and plays and he does everything he can do to win but he enjoys it and has fun doing it. Tara gets the most out of every shift she is on. When you watch the both of them get on the ice, it's the most important thing to them. It's incredible the work ethic of the two of them." Mick - what it's like watching sister at Olympics. Sue 19:29 - "She'd like him to go this time. She said can he fly out just for the day? The kid has four games at UNH while you're away. It's important for him to do what he's doing so he couldn't go." Dissolve to photo of Tara wrapped in the flag Narr - In the Mounsey's living room sits this reminder of 1998. The flag, a symbol of many things personal was given by teammate, Chris Bailey. Sue 28:00 - "The biggest thing with this picture is that the flag was the one on Chris Bailey's father's casket. Her mother brought it all the way to Japan and her handed it to Chris. Just know that he wasn't there and they were all crying and Tara has that flag on - it was very exciting." Mike 26:00 - "It brings back so many good memories, of how exciting everything was. You still remember that day, every moment leading up to it is chiseled in my mind. You walk around and see Tara wrapped in the flag and you think it was an awesome time. Hopefully it will happen again for the kids. That's my memory of it - it reminds me of the youth hockey days, the college days and everything else. It brings back a lot of good memories." |

-- Vermont Governor Howard Dean today returns to neighboring New Hampshire, where he has been looking at the state's presidential primary. The Democratic governor made his first public political visit to the earliest primary state two weeks ago. The announced reason for that visit was to campaign for Executive Council candidate John Kacavas, but Dean used the occasion to repeat some of the likely themes of his possible campaign. Dean, a practicing physician before becoming governor, called for universal health care that includes a prescription benefit and criticized President Bush's proposed tax cuts and budget. His visit today includes a speech before the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce. Dean has planned two trips to New Hampshire next month. |

30 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. But there are medications available to help "manage " that pain. Some are natural or synthetic compounds related to morphine - known as opioids. Dr. Ralph Beasley - pain management specialist with the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic - explains how they work. What's an opioid? Some studies show people with cancer pain and 80 percent chronic non cancer pain under treated - why? Why would a doc be hesitant to prescribe? Why patient afraid? How are doctors at understanding narcotics? How does someone react if given opioid with pain as compared to not in pain? Do patients become tolerant to opioids? What about addiction? Dependence versus addiction? How can we lower risk of abuse? |
