New Hampshire's oldest hotel is back in business. The 135 year-old Mountain View Grand Hotel was welcomed back to life by locals and policy makers last week in Whitefield. While that, in itself, is newsworthy; it is the people who made it happen that make this a classic New Hampshire story. Theresa Kennett reports. |

Governor Sununu 1:07:10 -:25 This is an amalgam of efforts of community, of the region, of the state, of institutions private and public and everybody coming together because they new the value of what they were doing. It was history in the making last week in Whitefield as the Mountain View Grand opened its doors to the public for the first time in 15 years. 1:24:13 -:18 nats - 1:26:53 -:58 Welcome to the Mountain view, we're back. The new owners, Kevin and Joanne Craffey, from Duxbury, Mass. Purchased the Mountian View in 1998 for 1.3 million dollars. Feb. tape 2:56:44; 2:14:48 Kevin on Dais 1:09:23 -:40 I actually started looking for a summer vacation property and I happen to stumble up on this place. We had no intention of restoring it at the onset. But I began thinking about the history of the hotel and the Dodge family that started this dream about 135 years ago. The Mountain View House opened in 1865 as a small bed and breakfast run by William and Mary Dodge. Mtn View Tape from February 2:12:54; 2:14:09 Over time, the small inn was transformed into a five story stately structure complete with 200 guest rooms. Each generation of Dodges left their mark of improvement as the hotel was equipped with modern day amenities that catered to the rich and famous. Mtn View tape from February 2:13:03; 2:12:46; 2:13:43;2:13:20; 2:14:03 This photograph of President Harding was taken on the front steps of the hotel on Memorial Day in 1922. President Eisenhower is pictured here with members of the Dodge family. Mullen B roll tape 5:51; 5:35 Throughout the years, the Mountain View employed thousands of local residents. Mtn View tape from February 2:13:10 Ken Jordan, Sr. worked at the hotel as a teenager. 5/22/02 Tape at 29:55 Ken Jones, Sr. at 24:14 to:20 They were exceptionally nice people. Nice people to work for and nice people to know. Jordan went to school with the late Skyler Dodge. 25:46 -:54 I maintained a relationship with him over the years. I'd see him every summer and of course I had a garage in Whitefield. During the 30 years that Mr. Jones owned his garage, he maintained all of the hotel's vehicles. 26:44 -:49 I enjoyed a good relationship and it was a very lucrative one for me. The popularity of Grand Hotels faded in the 70's, and the Dodge family sold the property in 1979. As new owners came and went, the property fell into disrepair and the bank foreclosed in 1986. The hotel continued to deteriorate, as did the retail economy in Whitefield. February Tape 2:14:48; 2:13:51; 2:14:38; 2:45:23; 2:36:38; 2:35:58; Shot of down town - 5/23/02 tape 16:10 Stand up at 18:52 Thirty years ago, these empty storefronts were occupied by thriving businesses. But over time, and especially after the Mountain View House closed, business dropped off and merchants moved out. Sue Gradual/Whitefield 3:04 -:11 Yes there have been vacancies, there are vacancies, but I think we're going to see a change in that. People are optimistic right now. Sue Gradual recently opened the Old Mill Studio in downtown Whitefield. She is hopeful that the hotel's opening will revitalize the Whitefield economy. 10:17; 9:27 1:20 -:30 I think this is a town that used to really count on that clientele in the area and it was very disappointing for many people when it closed. SOT Theresa & Steve at 20:55 to 20:59 Could I have a small coffee? sure Stephen Buzzell opened the Hometown Bread and Coffee shop just last week. He says the hotel's reopening is an especially proud moment for the people of Whitefield. 23:10 Hometown Bakery Sign; 22:38 Steve at 21:15 -:22 They have something special here that they should be proud of and they really want to share it with the rest of the world. Cover with 19:32 Nats -01:38:40 - 403 "have you been up to the ballroom yet?" The Craffey's felt particularly proud to be sharing day with John and Laura Dodge. 01:33:19 -:25 John Dodge is a fifth generation Dodge, the last generation to own the hotel. 01:38:06 - 01:38:11 John Dodge @ 1:30:11 -:16 I am very happy, this was a derelict. He took a monster and made a queen out of it. Selectman Ken Jordan, Jr, agrees. But says the re-making of this queen didn't come easily. Selectman Ken Jordan at 1:52:51 The money trail was very very difficult for Kevin. I know it was I could see the frustration in his face. So could his daughter Felicia, but a the tender age of 4, she reminded him of something he had once told her, winners don't quit. Get Kevin's voice from Mullen tape and Show banner Ken, Jr. 1:52:51 - 1:53:04 But every time he'd get a little wind, it was like a little coo. And he would get excited and we'd all get excited because it was just coming closer. It took 2 years, two constitutional amendments, and thirteen government agencies to secure finanicing for the hotel's 20 million dollar restoration. Stu Arnett, Office of State Planning 1:47:42 -:52 if you have ever been involved in a closing with just 2 or 3 lenders can you imagine what it took to get 13 federal, state, and local regulations all lined up. Jump Cut 1:47:24 - 34 I think this is a real testament, not just to Kevin but to the real NH Advantage. Arnett credits many of his peers, including Jeff Taylor, for putting the financing package together. Jeff Taylor State Planning 1:43:57 - 1:44:00 150 year round jobs are going to make a critical difference in Whitefield. Taylor was the state's North Country regional director for many years. He understands the need to create jobs in Whitefield. 19:32; 16:27 Jeff at 1:44:01 to:11 .but this project is more than just job creation. Its retaining, its polishing, its opening one of the treasures of the state of NH. Jump cut 1:44:21 -:28 Here was an indidvidual who had the vision to come in and see beyond the dust and cobwebs to see what this could be. Craffey was so determined to oversee the project himself that he moved his family to Whitefield so that he could be on the site everyday. Kevin spent long days on the site and Joanne cared for the couple's three small children. Joanne 01:32:34 -:42 Its been unbelievable. I mean its been the whole range of emotions that you could think of but I never for a moment doubted that Kevin could do it. Neither did his parents Kevin's Mother 33:58 We are just bursting with pride what he's done here is absolutely magical. Jump cut 34:29 Kevin is very tenacious and when he sets his mind to something he really really get its done. Father 35:02 I knew he would do it but I didn't think he would do it with such style and class. Ken Jordan, Jr. Whitefield Selectmen at 1:55:34 We've got more growth right now than this town has seen in about 15 or 20 years and we're excited. 1:39:58 -:00 I think because its such Jump cut 1:40:10 -:24 a piece of history I thnk made it important to a lot of people. And also the story of doing the impossible and the impossible dream is the American Dream and I think everyone can identify with it. Especially when it comes true. Bill Shaheen on dais at 1:00:33 -:55 So on behalf of the governor and the people of New Hampshire, I say to you job well done. You have made us proud to be NH. God bless you and God bless this hotel.

| Intro celiac Return to index of stories... |
There's an old saying that wheat is the staff of life. But for many Americans, it can be the source of chronic illness in their lives. It's a genetic disorder called Celiac Disease and up until recently, doctors thought in afflicted about 1 in every 2,000 Americans. Medical studies now indicate that that number is much higher. |
| Celiac Return to index of stories... |
Diane 20:10 - "The symptoms actually started in childhood. I was always sickly, always had a stomach ache to the point where I wouldn't ride the school bus, my mother would drive me to school. And they just said I just had a sensitive stomach." Narration 1 - And Diane Davis continued to live with those symptoms until she was in her early forties. That's when she was diagnosed with celiac disease, also known as celiac-sprue. Dr Ades 7:00 - "Celiac Sprue, or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is an autoimmune condition where one of the major manifestations is when the lining of the bowel becomes atrophic, blunted, flattened and cannot absorb all nutrients." Narration 2 - Dr. Alain Ades is a gastroenterologist at Exeter Hospital. He diagnosed Diane's condition six years ago. Dr Ades 7:15ish - "The lining of the bowel is covered with little finger-like projections called villi. And the whole point of villi is that it extends the surface area of the bowel, the more surface area, the better the nutrition, the better the absorption." Narration 3 - For persons with celiac disease, the villi in the small intestine are damaged or destroyed - greatly reducing the body's ability to digest and absorb nutrients from food. This reaction is brought on by gluten, proteins that are found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Dr Ades 8:40ish - "The gluten is a trigger for your own immune system to somehow attack and reduce the projections of the bowel, so that it is flattened and so that you get the effects of diarrhea, bloating, not feeling well, anemia, and everything else associated with someone whose starving." Narration 4 - Aleka Munroe is a friend of Diane. She, too, has celiac disease. For many years, Aleka lived with the effects: fatigue, depression, and weight loss. Dr. Ades made the diagnosis with an intestinal biopsy -- the only way to confirm celiac disease. Aleka 5:40ish - "He explained what it was, that I'd have to go on this gluten-free diet, no wheat, oats, barley and rye and I said 'I can't do that.' And he said 'Yes, you can. And you'll be happier in six months, trust me. And I'm like aghh. But he was right." Narration 5 - As of now, there is no cure for celiac disease. Treatment consists of a strict gluten-free diet for life, which allows the intestine to heal and regenerate. Avoiding gluten, however, is easier said than done. Aleka 16:15 - "But I remember the first time I went to the grocery store I stood in there for one hour and a half, reading labels. And really, for the first six months or so was like that and then I restricted myself but even then it still it takes me a lot longer because if I'm ever picking up something new to look at to read the labels." Diane 24:10 - "You have to careful. Many times, I'll go to a restaurant and ask, I'll list off the ingredients that I can't have - the wheat, oats, rye, barley, malt, and I'll inquire. And many times they think the soy sauce, they don't think of the wheat in the soy sauce, things like that." Stand-up #1 - "While Diane and Aleka like to make their gluten-free food from scratch, a growing number of grocery stores are carrying special foods for celiacs. These foods can be quite expensive as I discovered when I was diagnosed with celiac disease six years ago." Diane 27:35 - "Even making and buying, many times you're paying four times, four to five times what you would normally. A loaf of bread I think now, I'm not used to buying, I'm assuming you could get a loaf of bread now for $1.59. $1.69, and I made a bread from scratch and it cost me $6.95 to make." Narration 6 - In a gluten-free diet, wheat, rye, barley and oats need to be replaced with alternative grains such as rice, corn, bean, and soy flours. Dissolve to exterior of University of Maryland Stand-up #2 - "Celiac disease used to be thought of as a rare condition. But, here at the University of Maryland's Center for Celiac Research, doctors believe that 1 in 200 Americans may have the disease." Fasano 20:12 - "That kind of finding places celiac disease by far as the most frequent genetic disorder of humankind ever described, by far." Narration 7 - Dr. Alessio Fasano is an associate director of the University of Maryland's Center For Celiac Research. He says a lack of awareness about the disease in the American medical community leads to long delays in diagnosis. Fasano 2-5:15 - "In Europe, where the level of awareness is extremely high, the time that it takes between the onset of the symptoms and the time it takes to come up with the disease is in the order of 4-8 weeks. Here in the United States, unfortunately, it's 11-12 years. And again, it's just the consequence of several reasons. One, again the level of awareness is pretty low, two for reasons that are only partially clear to us, the way the disease presents itself here is really weird, in other words it's much more frequent the atypical form of the disease. You see much more of the constipation , more the person who has anemia and fatigue, rather than the person with the classical gastrointestinal symptoms. So, you may have a person that's suffering from symptoms for many, many years and may never see a gastoenterologist." Ades 12:30ish - "You see people who are four years old and you see people who are ninety years old. I have a patient who I diagnosed when he was in his late 60s who'd been having symptoms for, probably four decades. And, yet, at the same time he kept on being told, you're stress level, you're milk intolerant, and everything else." Narration 8 - Undiagnosed celiac disease can result in a multitude of health problems. Fasano 9:15- Unfortunately, and this is one of the most devastating outcomes of the lack of awareness of this disease. Again, we have personal experience of people who for many, many years have been shuffled around trying to find the solution to their problems without getting to the heart of the situation. Ades 28:00 - "It can be devastating. In the worst case scenario, starvation. There are people who are fed by vein because the diagnosis wasn't made, and somebody's starving in front of your eyes. What else? Think of things you don't absorb and you need - iron, anemia can predispose you to everything from stroke, fainting, you don't absorb calcium, osteoporosis is rampant in people, especially females who have celiac sprue. That's very important because that can be totally prevented." Narration 9 - Left untreated, celiac disease can also lead to intestinal lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system of the bowel. On a gluten-free diet, patients can start to feel better within a month. Diane 22:15ish - "I felt so much better. I could, I'm still tired but not as tired. I didn't have the stomach aches. It didn't interfere. I wanted to go here or there. Sometimes I would just stay home because I wasn't feeling well so it made a big difference in my life. It really did. Narration 10 - At the present time, funding for celiac research remains a low priority. However, doctors are hopeful that the progress they've made so far will become a gateway for the cure of this disease as well as others. Fasano 15:00 - "The future for celiac disease goes hand to hand with what is the future of the scientific enterprise. I personally believe that the question is not anymore "Will we have a cure for celiac disease? I believe the question is when will we have a cure?" Because it's just a question of time. And again, once we have a cure for celiac disease I'm pretty sure we will have a path ready to solve other diseases, like multiple sclerosis and type I diabetes and other autoimmune disease that remain a travesty so far." Narration 9 - For NH Outlook, I'm Susan Hajdu. |

OSTEOPOROSIS NOTES/Questions Interview 5/29 6pm WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS Bone is living tissue - we constantly grow new bone to replace old Before Age 30 - new bone built slightly faster than older bone is replaced so bones grow bigger and stronger After Age 30 - it reverses - older bone is removed at slightly faster rate than new bone is built With menopause - women lose quantity and quality of bone rapidly because of estrogen loss ***this is why more women are affected by osteoporosis than men Bottom line - bones become less dense and there is greater risk for fractures - wrist, hip and spine HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY IT? National Osteoporosis Foundation low bone mass are health threat for 55% of the population aged 50 or older estimates there are 1.5 million osteoporosis related fractures every year - **mostly women **direct medical costs for treatment of those fractures is $17billion annually. --it is a financial problem but also a quality of life issue In February the NOF released new study on low bone mass OSTEOPOROSIS IS NOT INEVITABLE RESULT OF AGING The National Osteo. Foundation is calling for a long term national effort to educate younger people in order to reduce the risks later on ***building strong bones especially before age 30 can be the best defense ALSO a healthy, active lifestyle is also important WHO IS MOST AT RISK AND WHY? Women Thin, small boned women Women who had normal or early menopause Those who have a family history of adult fractures Those who smoke or drink a lot Those who consume inadequate amount of calcium Those who get little weight bearing exercise Those who take medications for certain chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis PREVENTION - it is never too late DIET Balanced diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D Calcium - needed for muscles to work Translate that into servings - what should we be consuming? Vitamin D Needed for the body to absorb the calcium ****If you cannot absorb the calcium from the foods you eat your body will take the calcium from your bones *** experts recommend daily intake of 400-800 IU per day EXERCISE The more you use bone the stronger and denser it becomes Two types of exercise - weight bearing exercise AND resistance exercise ***cautions - about checking with doctor before starting exercise program if you are frail or have had a fracture TAKE A BONE DENSITY TEST When should we have our first one and how often? Is this covered by most insurances? How does the test work TREATMENT What medications are available and who should take them? |

| SUPCO orphans Return to index of stories... |
AP-NH--Supreme Court-Orphans dewap N.H. involved in U.S. Supreme Court case on children's benefits -- New Hampshire is one of two dozen states involved in a U.S. Supreme Court case over whether states can control federal benefits of orphaned and abused children. Justices will review Washington state's practice of applying for benefits on behalf of foster children, then using the money to reimburse foster parents for things like food and clothing. The case has far-reaching implications because every state has a system of collecting Social Security payments on behalf of children in state custody. The case was brought over benefits of a foster child whose mother was killed in a car crash. The child's grandmother put the benefits in a college fund. The state sought to get the money, and she filed a lawsuit. New Hampshire, the other states and a group of children's advocates want the court to make clear that states can using the benefits. |

AP-NH--XGR-Redistricting Protest nmldewfn Four Republican lawmakers demonstrate outside state Supreme Court -- Four Republican lawmakers demonstrated outside New Hampshire's Supreme Court this morning against how the court plans to draw new legislative boundaries if lawmakers draw them first. The court says its new districts will conform as closely as possible to the constitutional principle of one person, one vote. In accomplishing that, the court says it may not be able to give as much weight to other constitutional principles such as keeping communities with longstanding connections in the same district. New London Republican Steve Winter says the four stood outside for about an hour carrying an American flag and a New Hampshire flag to protest the court's intention to set aside the constitutional principles. Republican gubernatorial candidate Gordon Humphrey stopped by with coffee and donuts for the group. Democrats asked the court to intervene when efforts to negotiate plans with Republicans failed to produce compromises in either the House or Senate. AP-NY |

AP-NH--Fishing dewman Fishermen say new ruling isn't helping -- A week after a federal judge set aside new rules that could have crippled New England's fishing industry, New Hampshire fishermen say the reversal is not much help. The new order allowed for more fishing days, larger catch limits and fewer closed fishing areas. But many areas, including those frequented by New Hampshire fishermen, remain closed. Local fishermen say the reversal did nothing to set aside restrictions on ground fish. Those restrictions have prevented local fishermen from working in April, May and June. AP-NY-05-29-02 1003EDT |
