The story of the Tuareg Nomads of Africa -- and a local woman's efforts to make a difference. |
| Hello/Intro Dr. Love Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Despite a decade of research and one-point-7 billion dollars spent.we still don't know how breast cancer STARTS, or how to stop it. Currently, 3 million women in the U-S are living with breast cancer. 2 million have been diagnosed. 1 million -- have it, but don't yet know it. More than 40-thousand will die from the disease this year alone. In NH, close to 900 women will learn this year that they have breast cancer. Dr. Susan Love is a pioneer in the field of breast cancer. Her book, now in its 4-th edition, has been called the "bible" for women with breast cancer. I sat down with Dr. Love recently to talk about her new research, which may point the way to a cure. |

| Intro Niger/Rain Return to index of stories... |
A Newmarket woman is making connections half-a-world away. After a visit in 2000 to a remote northern region of Niger -- a country in West Africa's Sahara region-- Bess Palmisciano started a non-profit organization with the goal of helping the country's Tuareg nomads find ways to sustain their way of life and educate their children. Outlook's Ally McNair brings us her story. |
| Niger/Rain Return to index of stories... |
NIGER Bess says knee zheeer Stephanie@rain4sahara.org Bess Palmisciano Exec Dir. Rain for the Sahel and Sahara, Inc. Intepretor - Moosah? Sidi Ahmed Rhama Ibraim take package XXXX Nat of Sidi and Rhama playing and singing. XXX track Rhama Ibrahim plays the anzid - an instrument that can be traced back over 400 years. She is one of the few Tuareg of Niger - who still knows how to play the instrument. The Tuareg are a nomadic people who, for thousands of years have followed the rains throughout the Sahel and Sahara regions, finding pastures for their goats, sheep, and camels. XXX More nat of Sidi singing XX track Sidi Ahmed, sings the traditional songs that tell his people's stories of love, war and camels. He is a chief of Gougaram, a village in Niger. Rhama and Sidi are in Newmarket to help their friend, Bess Palmisciano, and her non-profit organization, Rain for the Sahel and Sahara. It all started when Bess and her husband went to Niger to visit friends who were working there. Moussah, who is now serving as Rhama and Sidi's translator, was the guide, who first took Bess and her husband to the desert. XXX Sot 35:16 It's the home of some of the most beautiful dunes in the world and the desert has dunes like mountains - 500 TO 900 feet high. It's just incredibly beautiful and pristine. We did a tour into mountains and out into the dunes in the desert. We were taken with the people there. It's amazing because it can be very bleak looking there…Then you come around the bend and there are people at a well…with hundreds of animals. It seemed so ancient but also so hard. We couldn't see how they could live there…My husband asked if we could spend some time with people who live there so we could learn more about the way that they lived…Musah took us to encampment where some of his relatives were. They were wonderful to us. We stayed there that evening and part of the next day. They were wonderful to us, brought us food to buy and showed us around, someone sang for us…it was wonderful and warm. After that, toward the end of our trip, Musah took us to Gougaram, which is the nomadic school he had attended. XXXX track While their parents are away, some Toureg children live at school. That's what Moussah did. XXX SOT He had gone there from 1st through 8th grade and said it was wonderful for him. He got his education when he was there. The school was in good condition. The garden was well tended, but now the government didn't have money to support it and the school was actually at that time falling in, he was hoping we'd somehow be able to help…37:28 XXX track So Bess decided to do what she could to rebuild the school. And she organized a non-profit organization - Rain for the Sahel and the Sahara. Bess visits the Tuareg in Niger several times a year. One of the organization's primary goals has been to make education at the schools an attractive option for the Tuareg people. XXX SOT 42:47 it turned out to be more complicated than we originally imagined because their parents are nomadic and are moving. The schools are residential schools. There were issues not only of not only having food, and lights and mattresses at the schools, but parents feeling very alienated from those schools because in many of these schools there are teachers who are not Tuareg people who do not speak their language. So not only are you leaving your child at a school that might have questionable resources, but you might not even be able to speak to their teacher and find out what is happening. So the schools are quite separate from the people, but the parents did have a yearning to have education for their children. That was my first step - to meet with groups of parents to ask them what they wanted and I was surprised how deeply many of them wanted their children to go to school. One woman said we want our daughters to be like you and you're able to come here and work here. Because we want our daughters to go do what they want. And one older man said he felt ignorant. He didn't know how to speak to people who came, who didn't speak their language - the French or other people who came. He felt cut off from the world. They wanted something more for their children 44:20 XXX Track One reason the Tuareg people have expressed hope of a better life for their children is that many are now surviving and under the most harsh of conditions. And this is also a part of their past. XXX 47:51The sad truth is they live in an area that is subject to drought… And it's getting worse. And has gotten worse. Over time, in the 70s and 80s, many tens of thousands of Tuareg left and wont' ever go back. 80 percent of animals died during those periods …People who are there are mostly there because they want to be. They love of place and love of lifestyle and want to find a way to make it work. They realize that just herding animals in the desert isn't viable. They've lost some of their other sources of income. They were famous caravaners of the desert and now a truck can cross the desert a lot faster than a camel. The Tuareg were traditionally involved in salt trade but now that is fading. So there's a lot of factors that have made their lives more difficult XXX track In addition to the educational efforts made by Rain for the Sahel and Sahara, the organization also is working with the Tuareg people to develop new skills. XXX SOT 44:27we gradually sort of advanced from the idea well will do what we can to help the school to the idea to if we'll help the parents and can build some small enterprises to generate some money then they can help their school. 44:44 so it's coming from them and its also giving them opportunity to learn skills and generate income 44:53 and that's our basic model now so 44:59the primary enterprise is still the school garden which we're building to both provide food for students but also cash crops fruit dates so that they'll be profitable in the future 45:13 XXX Track The organization has set up several women's cooperatives where leather goods are made and sold in America. Women's groups are also grinding grain. In one village, a general store is now being operated by the Tuareg. XXX SOT Part of what we're trying to do in starting these businesses is searching for ways for people to augment their incomes.49:10 and be able to support themselves while they are living their traditional lifestyles that they want to maintain.49:13 XX Track The Tuareg's lifestyle may sound strange and foreign to many Americans. But Bess hopes that unfamiliarity won't keep people away. XX SOT 46:44 I think Americans as a whole are fairly uninformed about Africa and are kind of frightened by it and have some hopelessness about it in their response to it because we hear so much bad news and we have so little real contact on a one on one basis. It's not only that the Tuareg have a beautiful culture that I want to give them the opportunity to share, but I think 47:24just as a representative of Africa it's a place where human beings live in villages and have lives and have fulfilling lives and that its not a place of despair and hopelessness and that there are things that can be done. 47:43 XXX BUTT BITE XXX Sot 54:00 people often ask why… why should we get involved, why should we be interested in Niger which we have never heard of and I feel that in our lives things happen to us and things are presented to us and my sense is for whatever the history I am in NH and I'm doing this project and I met you here today and I meet other people you now know about us you know about Niger you know about these people and it's an opportunity to react to something that's available and in front of you and to get to know it and I hope people will find it interesting and exciting and take advantage of it 54:55 XXXX Track In Newmarket for New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Ally McNair. |

| Hello/Intro Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We've certainly seen some interesting comings and goings in state Leadership posts in the last year. In 2004, Governor Craig Benson LOST a bid for a 2nd term: the first time in modern history. In December of 2004, Doug Scamman the "old" House speaker, became the "new" House speaker after a 14-year absense. And, this September, Ted Gatsas became Senate President -- when rival Tom Eaton -- was edged out "mid-term" -- paving the way for the Manchester Republican's "history-making" election. |
| Gatsas Election Return to index of stories... |
BITE: Eaton: For the intergrity of this office & institution we hold dear.I now resign my appointment as President of the NH State Senate. I will now hand the gavel over to our temporary presiding officer President pro tem Carl Johnson. BITE: all in favor of the motion, say aye, the motion passes. Senator Gatsas is the new senate President. BITE: I am honored and humbled.make solemn commitment -- all 24 Senators are given the opportunity to have their voices heard. In the coming days I will reach out to try to put differences behind us. |
| Intro Gatsas Conv Return to index of stories... |
Here to talk about that "new" leadership role -- and what lies ahead. Senate President Ted Gatsas. Welcome. 1 This was UNPRECEDENTED -- Changing a Senate President mid-term. Why do YOU think it was so important to change leadership at that juncture. 2 How did you get so much DEMOCRATIC support in your bid for president. What did you have to GIVE them for that support?? 3 How will your leadership style DIFFER from that of your predecessor? 4 Just Curious, who gets the basement office you were relegated to?? |
| Gatsas conversation Return to index of stories... |
5 You were In office for only a month -- when you became ACTING Governor -- and disaster struck under your watch. What went thru your mind --when the call came about the flooding??? ** 6 This was your first opportunity to work with Governor -- in your new leadership post. Things went well?? Will you be able to work with him - in the upcoming session. 7 You've been quoted as saying you're NOT opposed to "picking up the tab" for local flooding expenses not covered by FEMA. A price-tag some are calling STAGGERING. WHERE will the MONEY come from. 7.5 Do you support EXPANDING FUEL assistance.to help NH residents pay for skyrocketing heating costs? 8 Some issues never go away -- like EDUCATION funding. You're the AUTHOR of the current school funding formula -- which eliminated DONOR towns & gave targeted aid --but did NOT get rid of the statewide PROPERTY property tax. This month, that TAX was ruled unconstitutional.throwing the whole matter back into court. ** The Governor says.any END would have to come from the Legislature. So, WHEN will we see the END of the statewide property tax??? 9 Controlling Health Insurance Costs -- a PERENNIAL issue for the Legislature. You were CRITICAL in getting the insurance REFORM bill SB 125 passed. Already we're seeing INSURERS leaving, and Rates RISING. CAN the STATE really do anything.to keep costs down??? In the past, You've been a fan of EXPANDED gambling and slots at the racetracks. What would it take for EXPANDED gambling to take place -- And, IS it a good way to support our schools???? ** Still serve as a Manchester Alderman -- 11 In the upcoming legislative session -- what do you see as the Senate's TOP priorities? 12 What will make for a successful session??? SENATOR TED GATSAS, thanks and best of luck in your new position. ================ 12 Strengthening protection for NH's children against sexual predators. 13 Safeguarding homeowner and landowner rights re: eminent domain. What are we likely to see on that front this year. |

Monday Oct. 31 We had to do the show at 4:30 so we could do the Gatsas interview at 5:30. I was a bit busy editing so I came down a little late to figure out a logistic problem with full screen graphics. So we had to stop and start again about 4 times until finally I said, let's just do it after the show. Kim seemed quite annoyed with me for starting over so many times but she doesn't understand how many sources I am using to do all that we are doing. It all worked out fine once I made that decision. |

We’ll talk about this and other breakthroughs and new treatments with Doctor Susan Love, a renowned breast cancer surgeon. Love, celebrated author of the New York Times bestseller “Dr. Love’s Breast Cancer Book,” was in New Hampshire recently for a major fundraiser. www.susanlovemd.org/ The Power of One You might think that New Hampshire and Niger, a country in West Africa, have very little in common. But thanks to the efforts of one Newmarket woman, the people from these two very different worlds have made a connection. Allison McNair brings us the story of the Tuareg nomads and the woman who has worked to help the Tuareg people find new ways to sustain their way of life and educate their children. We’ll also meet two Tuaregs who share their culture through their music and song. www.rain4sahara.org/rainstory.html TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 Seeing Seniors: Home Care Industry In-home care can have a dramatic impact on the quality of life for the elderly. So, it’s no surprise that the demand for in-home care professionals is at an all-time high. And, as the baby boom generation ages, more workers will be required in this field. In New Hampshire, it’s estimated that 80% of home care services are delivered by nursing assistants and home companions. In this edition of NH Outlook’s continuing series Seeing Seniors, we examine some of the issues facing the home care industry, including low wages and high turnover. Chip Neal introduces us to William Poe, now in his 90’s and living in a Nashua retirement community. We’ll see how in-home assistance helps him keep his independence and preserve his quality of life. Chip’s report is followed by an in-studio discussion. Scheduled guests include Terry Lochhead of Project Leads; Susan Young, Executive Director of the Home Care Association of NH; Rebecca Hutchinson, President Quality Care Partners, a home health agency in Manchester; and Jennifer Craigue, a direct care provider. http:/www.servicelinkhillsboroughcounty.org/ http:/www.homecarenh.org/ www.nhclf.org http:/www.qcp-qcp.com/ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 Gov.
