| Hello/Intro Markets Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Richard Ager, Beth Carroll is off. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. The world's financial markets are in crisis. After unprecedented moves to bail out failing financial institutions, the U.S. government is planning even more. On Friday morning, flanked by his top economic advisors, President Bush announced a plan to help stabilize the economy. The President authorized the government to rescue banks from billions in bad debt and insure the holdings of eligible money market mutual funds. Mr. Bush said government intervention is needed to keep the crisis from further damaging the economy. Congressional leaders expect to act on the plan before the election recess. For some perspective on what's been happening in the markets and the impact we're seeing in New Hampshire I spoke Friday morning to Ross Gittell. Gittell is a James R. Carter Professor and Professor of Management, at the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, at the University of New Hampshire. |

| Intro Battleground nh Return to index of stories... |
Turning now to NH Votes 2008: It used to be that New Hampshire got a lot of attention during the Presidential Primary and then was ignored until the next primary. No more. New Hampshire is now considered a battleground state, where the stakes are nearly as high in November, as they are in the Primary. And so September has been a busy month with presidential candidates and their surrogates campaigning around the state. I spoke with UNH political scientist Dante Scala about whether we should expect a fight to the finish. |

One last reminder of the importance of NH's vote. In 2000, a swing of fewer than 4000 votes would have given New Hampshire - and the Presidency - to Al Gore. Stay tuned to NH Outlook and NHPTV for continuing coverage of NH Votes 2008. A series of forums and debates are scheduled for October involving the gubernatorial and Congressional candidates in New Hampshire.

How the New Hampshire Food Bank is growing its own produce to help boost low food supplies. |
| Intro Intro Food Bank Return to index of stories... |
The New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester is experiencing the worst crisis in its twenty-four year history. High fuel and food prices have dramatically cut donations to the Food Bank. Typically they have at least a half a million pounds of food on hand, this year they have less than a third of that total. As Outlook's Phil Vaughn tells us the Food Bank is trying something new to help increase its food supply. |

Shots of food bank N1- It's been a challenging year for the NH Food Bank. High fuel costs mixed with rising food prices have left some shelves bare. Sound from food bank tape N2- Along with reduced donations, the Food Bank has also seen an increased demand for their services. Helen 2930 - "I think the need is up 30-40% over the last year for supplemental food." N3 - Helen Costello manages the Recipe for Success program at the Food Bank. She says the increased need for food is coming from people who are sometimes desperate. Helen 2840 - "And so those folks even though we have lower poverty levels than in other states, those folks aren't suffering any less. We see that in middle-income working families or lower income working families are starting to struggle because of higher food and fuel costs. So now we're seeing people who once donated or volunteered now needing services from the agencies that the food bank serves." N4- So with supplies down and demand up, the folks at the Food Bank are trying something new. Shots of Helen picking squash N5- They're growing their own food. Helen 2705 - "So we wanted to be part of a long term solution to chronic food insecurity in the state and looking for other solutions in addition to our regular food distribution program." N6- The State Dept. of Justice provided the Food Bank with an acre of land for a garden. It overlooks the Youth Development Center in Manchester. Helen 2510 - "So they offered an acre and we decided to use a quarter acre this year to see how that would work so that's what we're working with this year." N7- Squash was planted - and tomatoes, cabbage, beans and peppers. All of it goes back to the Food Bank. Some is given away - Helen 5405 - "The produce goes out as fast as it comes in. and the soup kitchen in town has been taking a lot of our produce and they love it." N8- And some is used for training programs at the Food Bank. Helen 2615 - "The culinary training program uses the food for some of our member agencies." N9- And there's Operation Frontline. Staff at the Food Bank teach adults and families how to achieve good nutrition from affordable, locally grown food. Other programs train under-employed adults how to cook - giving them the basic skills to work within the food industry. Helen 3205 - "Our first class graduated July 18 and we were able to place three of the five that graduated. One of our graduates is an assistant gardener here and he works at night cooking at a restaurant." Sound of harvesting Stand up - "Throughout the summer, the food bank has relied on volunteers from the area to plant, tend to and harvest the produce." N10 - Today, it's a group from the Upper Room in Manchester, Michelle 2525 pt 1 - "The Upper Room is a non-profit family resource center." N11 - Michelle Mobsby works at the Upper Room. Michelle 2525 pt2 - "We have a variety of programs from parenting programs to GED to juvenile diversion program, which is a program for first time offenders. It's an alternative to court." N12 - This is their second trip to the garden. Michelle 2555 - "What we do is go out into the community to places that need some help and do whatever we can. " Helen 3145 - "I think they get something that's beyond them. They get their community service hours but they get something that's bigger than them and they see the results when they leave." N13 - Despite a summer of lousy growing weather, Costello says that so far she's pleased with the results of the harvest. Helen 5200 - - "I would love to take about a ton of food from the garden. I'd be happy with 1,600 pounds. We've harvested about 400 pounds in the first two weeks. So we'll see when the butternut comes in." Shots of harvest Helen 3415 - Phil - "Did it work as well as you had hoped? Yes, better, we got a late start, had a lot of challenges this years, as a lot of farmers did and still produced a lot of food. So I'm happy how things went and look forward to an even better season next year." N14 - The food grown on this patch of land represents a small percentage of the total amount needed at the Food Bank. But the effort, says Costello, is worth it. Helen 3328 - Phil - "In the end what does this garden represent? I think its symbolic of a way to build a system within our traditional agency system to allow ways of helping people help themselves. And its something that goes beyond a handout." N15 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

The goal of taking a ton of food from the garden was exceeded - they harvested more than 2,500 pounds of produce. The Food Bank plans to expand the garden from a quarter acre to a half acre next year. |
