| Hikers Rescue Return to index of stories... |
Five hikers who got lost on Mount Lafayette yesterday and spent the night there - may be liable for the cost of their rescue. This morning, a helicopter dropped snowshoes down to the group. They arrived safely at the base of the Franconia Notch mountain this afternoon. Officials say they're considering invoking a state law that makes reckless hikers liable for the cost of their rescue. If the group had the proper equipment, officials say, the rescue would not have been necessary. |

| Intro Healthcare Return to index of stories... |
Thousands of children in New Hampshire are uninsured and don't receive the health care they need. Two years ago, Governor Jeanne Shaheen started a plan to help those children. But many families don't know about the program called CHIPS. As producer Richard Ager reports, an outreach program announced today is aimed at making sure all children in the state get the help they need. |
| HEALTHCARE Return to index of stories... |
Track: When 2 year old Valeria Morales was born, she was ----------premature. Her first - -----weeks were spent here at the neonatal intensive care unit at the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua. Her parents did not have adequate health insurance for the kind of care she needed. They spoke little English and didn't know about CHIP - the children's health insurance plan. Stories like this have become increasingly common in Nashua which has 12% of the state's uninsured children, most in minority families. Today, the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center said it would seek out and help these families. Bite: Tape 1 05:48 It is my pleasure to announce the launch of an exciting new program, a first in the state, "Para Los Ninos" - which means "For the Kids". "Para Los Ninos" is a 7-point initiative specifically designed to help Spanish-speaking children get the health care they need. The goal of the program is to break the language barriers to health care access. Soundup: Health Partners show Track: The Medical Center is reaching out with its first Spanish-language edition of its health show on local cable. It will also run public service announcements to get the message out, along with print mailings and website material. Soundup: staff doctor Track: The medical center has also been offering Spanish language classes to its staff, and now operates a dedicated phone line offering help and advice in Spanish. Bite: Tape 1 19:52 "and that number is 880-8103." Track: This outreach will help families like the Espinals, whose children both needed medical care last year. Bite: Tape 2 40:44 In the budget proposal that is now before the House and the Senate, we are able under the governor's budget to continue the CHIP program for every child enrolled today as well as enroll the currently eligible non-enrolled 9,000 kids in the state over the next two years. That's a wonderful thing but we are very concerned because in the budget that is currently being reviewed in the House today, those dollars are not present in that budget. Track: The governor also was emphatic that the immigration status of child or parents is irrelevant to this outreach. Bite: Tape 2 34:08 I don't think it should be an issue. The fact is, the children who would qualify for CHIP are living in NH, they're going to school in NH, if they go to the emergency room and receive treatment in NH, and they don't have health insurance, then you and I who have health insurance are going to be paying their bills. So it makes more sense to have them enrolled, have them covered, have them get the preventive medicine they need and that's what I hope everyone in Concord will commit to. Track: These medical practitioners say reaching out is simply a recognition of change. Bite: Tape 1 28;00 We're seeing a significant percentage who speak Portugese as well. We have Portugese on staff. I think the face of NH along with the face of the nation is changing and its really important for us to provide all the support services for many different languages. Track: For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |

| Intro Kathy Moon Return to index of stories... |
When you pick up a magazine, you probably do it because you want to read it or look at the pictures. But Wilton artist Kathy Moon has a completely different purpose in mind when it comes to one particular magazine. Moon has developed an unusual technique of "painting with paper". She calls her paintings "collages" and they're made from torn bits and pieces of old National Geographic Magazines. |

Kathy continues making her collages, but since we taped that story, she has moved her studio from the River View Mill to her home in Wilton. |

| Gun Control Return to index of stories... |
There's an effort underway to enact a "stricter" gun control bill at the statehouse. New Hampshire Ceasefire, along with state Representative Martha Fuller Clark and Senators Burt Cohen and Katie Wheeler, are calling for passage of a bill that they say includes common sense gun control measures. The bill would require background checks for all gun sales, stiffer penalties for gun-related crimes, restrictions on the sale of assault weapons, and set the minimum age to carry a concealed weapon at 21. Lawmakers will have hearings on some of the measures later this week. |
| Franklin Opera House Return to index of stories... |
A private group is expected to release the details of a three million dollar plan to renovate the nearly 110-year-old Franklin Opera House tonight. Steve Foley, president of Franklin Opera House Incorporated, said the group will raise the money needed through donations and private grants, and won't ask for tax dollars. The building, built in 1893, for years served as a cultural center for the community. But in 1947, the 800-seat opera house closed to public events and since has housed town offices. But town officials are eager to move their offices elsewhere and make way for the renovations. They say the development could make the building a focal point for the community once again. |
