| Pet Health Return to index of stories... |
In addition to keeping an eye out for the health of other people during the steamy weather, we're also reminded that we need to make sure our furry friends are alright. The N-H-S-P-C-A has some tips to keep your pets healthy in the heat. Their recommendations include leaving your pets at home if possible. If you must take them out in the car, you should leave the air conditioning on for them. You should also bring water for your pet to drink, as well as a frozen jug of water that they can lie against. And when you're at home, you should bring your pet inside. But if they are outside, be sure to provide shade and plenty of water with ice cubes. And you should always be alert to signs of heat stress in your pet, which include heavy panting, vomitting and unsteadiness. |
| Intro Power Grid Return to index of stories... |
Along with the increase in temperatures comes a surge in energy use --- as we struggle to keep cool. New England power grid operators have been pushed to the limit this week. And with tomorrow forecast to be nothing less than oppressive, the demand for energy will remain high. Earlier I discussed the situation with Public Service of New Hampshire Spokesman Martin Murray. |

Here's a look at other news making headlines this Wednesday. |
| Humphrey Return to index of stories... |
It looks as though former U-S Senator Gordon Humphrey will make another run to be New Hampshire's governor. While not officially announcing his candidacy, Humphrey has told supporters that he's hired a campaign staff. Other possible G-O-P candidates include millionare Cabletron co-founder Craig Benson and former University System Trustees Chairman Bruce Keough. |
| Newington Return to index of stories... |
The next step in the town of Newington's campaign against the statewide property tax will be a special town meeting in October. The purpose will be to discuss what - if any - formal action the town will take against the state. Among the proposals on the table is the controversial idea of invoking Article ten of the New Hampshire Constitution - an individual's right to revolt. At a public hearing last week, some residents even discussed secession. That course of action - however - appears unlikely. |
| Intro Seacoast Return to index of stories... |
There are 900 known cases of HIV in New Hamsphire and that number is expected to grow. Meeting the community's need for support and services is an ongoing challenge. AIDS Response-Seacoast of Portsmouth recently toured the Boston Living Center, to learn how they enhance the quality of life for people living with HIV. |

| Intro Sunapee Return to index of stories... |
It's an annual event where imagination and creativity seem limitless. The league of New Hampshire Craftsmen's fair is the oldest event of it's kind in the nation. In fact, the fair is now celebrating it's 68th anniversary this year at Mount Sunapee. Correspondent Tim Estiloz takes us on a special tour of this artistic wonderland. |
| SUNAPEE Return to index of stories... |
CREATIVITY FLOWS FREELY AT MOUNT SUNAPEE. HUNDREDS OF CRAFTSPEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE GRANITE STATE ARE GATHERING FOR THE ANNUAL LEAGUE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE CRAFTSMEN 'S FAIR. THE FAIR IS CELEBRATING IT'S 68-TH YEAR. AND IT'S AN EVENT RICH IN TRADITION. "The league of New hampshire craftsmen is one of the oldest crafts organizations in the country. and certainly in New England. It was founded back in the 1930's to actually help promote and encourage craftsmen. who are hands on craftspeople to do their own work. and to actually make a living from it." SOME 700 PEOPLE ARE MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE. THEY ARE PART OF AN ELITE GROUP OF ARTISANS. THE BEST THE STATE HAS TO OFFER. EACH CRAFTSPERSON HAS TO PASS STRICT GUIDELINES TO BE ADMITTED AS A MEMBER. "Well. we really are looking for the technique to be very much hands-on. They can't be a factory, for instance. they really have to do the majority of the work themselves. and that their design concept is really their own. and not copying anybody else's work." FOR SOME IT'S THE SUBTLE THRILL OF WATCHING AN ORDINARY BLOCK OF CLAY TRANSFORM INTO BEAUTIFUL POTTERY. FOR OTHERS, IT'S CHANGING A CHUNK OF WOOD, SPLINTER BY SPLINTER, INTO A PINEAPPLE SHAPED GREETING. "The pineapple became an international welcome sign. From what I understand, in Hawaii, the fishermen used to go out to sea. And when they came back, they used to put a pineapple out on their stoop to show that they were back. so if people wanted to come and visit. " THESE CRAFTSMEN ARE MAKING SURE THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF DOING THINGS ISN'T FORGOTTEN. FROM FORGING RED-HOT IRON INTO SOMETHING PRACTICAL OR DECORATIVE. TO REPLICATING THE DELICATE AGE-OLD ART OF CALLIGRAPHY. BOB VERITY HAS SPENT THE PAST 13 YEARS MAKING BROOMS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. "What I'm doing. I'm making a shaker flat broom. The Shakers were the ones who invented the present day flat broom. and the way they did it was by making a round broom. and adding a handful of broom corn on opposite sides. which is what I'm doing now." IT TAKES BOB 40 MINUTES TO MAKE EACH BROOM. HE SAYS THE SHAKERS OF OLD COULD DO THE JOB EVEN FASTER "Even though this fair FULL of creativity is 68 years old. hundreds of veteran artists come back year after year to take part. But this time-honored crafts fair is also a showcase for a NEW generation of craftperson" "The Next Generation is a great opportunity for children who are of the families of our craftspeople. These kids are obviously growing up in this environment. and they come here with their own product. They've been working all year long making their own beads. or wood pieces.whatever it is that they do." IN THE CASE OF 12-YEAR OLD EMILY ALLEN. SHE CREATES DOLLS MADE FROM CORN HUSKS. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. "My mom taught me how to do this. THIS is a gourd, this is a maracha shaker. and then i made some bird houses out of these gourds too. These are a lot harder to make than the corn husk dolls. they take a really long time." AT THIS FAIR. JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IS ABLE TO DISCOVER THE BUDDING ARTIST INSIDE. THE KIDS ESPECIALLY LOVE IT. "I made a tree-star ornament! . YES!. BUT THE YOUNG AT HEART HAVE FUN TOO. ". oh, I think it's just lovely. its a beautiful day and we're throughly enjoying it.. oh I think the woodcarving. and the pottery, thats what i like a lot. "You know.coming to the crafts fair can definitely be an inspiring experience. whether it's learning how to do calligraphy like this. or even being inspired to sew a quilt for a good cause." "We're ABC quilts. and we're at the fair this year making crib quilts for babies born at risk. The at-risk babies may be HIV positive. they may have fetal alcohol syndrome. they were born wounded in the womb due to their mothers drug and alcohol abuse during pregnancy. or they're abandoned.' CREATING ART WITH A LASTING IMPACT. THAT'S WHAT MANY OF THESE CRAFTSMEN HOPE FOR. FROM SUNAPEE, I'M TIM ESTILOZ FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK. |

| Vandals Return to index of stories... |
Parents should use a recent incident of school vandalism to teach their children about knowing right fron wrong. That's according to an youth behavior expert with Child and Family Services. Patti Rawding-Anderson says that children begin developing their moral character at a young age. She also suggests that because it's important to set boundaries, the two boys - ages nine and ten - who vandalized the Danville school should be punished, regardless of their age. |
