Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of state news. |
| The Flu Return to index of stories... |
Winter has arrived - and so has the flu season in New Hampshire. State lab technicians say they've found influenza bacteria in a sample from a Manchester patient. The flu vaccine was in short supply earlier this year, but a health and human services nurse says most health care providers in the state have it now. The elderly, chronically ill, and people with suppressed immune systems are especially vulnerable and should get vaccinated. |
| Emergency Assistance Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire's poor are getting a helping hand from the federal government. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will distribute 140 million dollars in aid to nonprofit and government agencies around the country to help feed and house the poor. That will mean 250-thousand dollars for New Hampshire. A local branch of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program will determine which groups get the money. |
| Bradlees Return to index of stories... |
Some workers at Bradlees may find themselves without jobs soon. A Massachusetts newspaper reports the Braintree-based company has signed a deal with a liquidation firm to handle the shut-down of 105 stores in seven Northeast states, including 8 in southern New Hampshire. The company employs about ten-thousand people. |

It seems Maine may have the upper hand in the battle with New Hampshire over where the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is located. This spring, New Hampshire officials asked the U-S Supreme Court to settle the issue. Now a government lawyer - who represents the nation's interests - has filed a friend-of-the-court brief. It supports Maine's position and asks the high court to dismiss the case. The court could grant the motion to dismiss or could appoint a special master to further investigate the case. |
| Grandmaison Return to index of stories... |
A former Nashua alderman convicted of mail fraud is among the 62 people granted Christmastime clemency by President Clinton today. Democratic activist Phil Grandmaison admitted lobbying his colleagues to grant a six-and-a-half--million-dollar school renovation contract to his employer. Grandmaison was sentenced to 18 months. His boss who admitted accepting bribes, got 12 months. |

| Christmas-Children Return to index of stories... |
So what can you get your child that's not on her or his holiday wish list? According to New Hampshire health education officials, children want attention and structure. A community health manager in Nashua says parents should realize children aren't immune when things get hectic during the holidays. The stress adults feel gets passed right on down to children. She suggests not cramming a lot of events into one day and spreading holiday visits over a long weekend or vacation. |
