In this program we're taking you outdoors To learn more about tick borne lyme disease. |
| Preshow #2 Return to index of stories... |
And we'll go in search of Mountain lions in the Granite State. |
| Intro Lyme Disease Return to index of stories... |
All over New England this summer doctors are reporting more and more cases of tick-borne lyme disease. What is it and how can you prevent it? Allison McNair went for a walk with New Hampshire's Chief of Disease Control. |
| Lyme Disease Return to index of stories... |
ALLY - DR. MONTERO, LYME DISEASE - GETTING IT FROM TICKS. I'VE GOT SHORTS ON I'M WALKING THROUGH TALL GRASS, IS THAT MAYBE NOT A GREAT IDEA. WELL, IN ORDER TO PREVENT LYME DISEASE YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR SKIN COMPLETELY COVERED BECAUSE IN THIS TALL GRASS YOU MAY FIND BENEATH THERE ARE THE TICKS. YOU CAN USE MOSQUITO REPELLANT. WHAT KIND OF TICK WILL GIVE SOMEONE LYME DISEASE? DEER TICK IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL GIVE YOU LYME DISEASE. THEY ARE OTHER TICKS BUT THEY ARE NOT INVOLVED IN A TRANSFORMATION OF LYME DISEASE. THEY ARE SO SMALL WHENEVER YOU SEE PICTURES OR ACTUAL DEER TICKS, AREN'T THEY TOUGH TO FIND IF THEY ARE ON YOU? YES, IT IS. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN THE GRASS. IT'S HARD TO LOOK FOR THEM. BECAUSE BECAUSE WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND PEOPLE CHECK THE CHILDREN LOOK FOR ANY SMALL TINY MARKS AND CHECK THE HAIR BECAUSE THEY MAY BE THERE. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY EASY TO FIND. HOW SERIOUS IS IT IF A CHILD OR ADULT GETS BITTEN BY A TICK WITH LYME DISEASE? ALMOST EVERYBODY DEVELOPS THE DISEASE IF HE THEY GET BITTEN BY A TICKET IF THEY ARE INFECTED. AFTER AN UNCUE BASING PERIOD THEY'LL DEVELOP AN ACUTE LYME DISEASE SYMPTOMS AND THOSE ARE THE GENERAL SYMPTOMS FOR ANY TYPE OF INFECTION, FEVER, MALAISE, YOU FEEL KIND OF ICKY. THE CHARACTERISTIC SYMPTOM IS THE RASH. THIS LOOKS LIKE A MARK ON YOUR SKIN. IF YOU DON'T GET TREATMENT AROUND 50 OR 60% OF PEOPLE WILL DEVELOP LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES. SUCH AS ARTHRITIS OR SYMPTOMS IN THEIR MUSCLES. SOME PEOPLE MAY DEVELOP SOME YOU ARE IN LOGICAL SYMPTOMS AS WELL. Allison: YOU LOOK FOR THE BULL'S EYE RASH. IF I FIND A DEER TICK NOT BIEGHT ON HIS CHILD OR MYSELF SHOULD I GO TO THE DOCTOR OR WHAT SHOULD I DO SNMPLGHTS NOT NECESSARILY. IF TIME YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE INFECTED. IN GENERAL WE HAVE THIS 24 HOURS WIND YES OPPORTUNITY EVEN IF THE TICK ATTACHED WE WOULD FIND IN THE AFTERNOON OR THE DAY AFTER WE CAME OUT. YOU REMOVE IT. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DEVELOP THE DISEASE. THEN YOU HAVE SOME PROTECTION TIME. Allison: IF A AFTER WE'RE DONE TODAY RUN HOME AND TAKE A SHOWER CAN I SAY GREAT IF I HAD ANY DEER TICKS ON ME THEY ARE LONG GONE. THE SHOWER IS GOOD TO REMOVE THE REPELLANT YOU HAVE ON YOU OR THE CHILD BUT IT WON'T REMOVE THE TICK. TICKS ARE WELL ENGINEERED THEY HAVE A JAW THAT ATTACH TO YOUR SKIN. YOU HAVE TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THE TICK TO REMOVE THE JAW AT THE SAME TIME. THEN JUST A SURE IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. Allison: IT ALWAYS RECOMMENDS OR PEOPLE ALWAYS RECOMMEND USING TWEEZERS TO PULL THEM OUT. CAN I PUT IT OUT WITHOUT THEM OR IS THAT THE BEST WAY TO DO IT? IF YOU CAN WITH THE TWEEZERS. BE CAREFUL AND MOVE IT TO THE TAKE THE WHOLE PIECE THAT'S THE BEST THING TO DO. Allison: THE MYTH ABOUT TAKING A MATCH HEAD THAT IS LIT AND BURNING IT OFF, NOT A GOOD IDEA. LY ACTIVELY AGAINST THAT APPROACH. WE SAW TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH BURNS. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY REMOVE THE TICK. YOU ARE CAUSING DAMAGE AND NOT RESOFLG THE ISSUE. Allison: HOW MANY CASES OF LYME DISEASE HAVE WE HAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE? CONFIRMED CASES? LAST YEAR 261 CASES IN YEAR 2002. THAT'S AN INCREASE IN THE CASES FROM FIVE YEARS AGO WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 50 CASES PER YEAR OR SO. THIS MAY BE DUE TO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. FIRST WE HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH CLIN YITIONS ASKING FOR MORE TIMELY REPORT OF THOSE CASE ISS AND CLIN YITIONS HELPING US OUT REPORTING THE CEASES. AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE AWARE OF A TREND IN THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF COUNTRY OF INCREASING CASES OF LYME DISEASE. WE'RE EXPERIENCING THAT. WE LOOK AT WHERE OUR CASES ARE. MOST OF THOSE ARE IN THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE STATE AND ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE COST. THAT PART THAT GOES INTO THE COAST. Allison: SO IF IT'S CAUGHT EARL YES ENOUGH, EITHER IN A CHILD OR IN AN ADULT, CAN YOU HAVE NO LASTING EFFECTS? DEFINITELY. IF YOU TREAT THE DISEASE WHEN IT IS IN THE ACUTE STAGE YOU ARE GOING TO GET CURED AND IN GENERAL NOBODY DEVELOPS ANY LONG TERM EFFECTS. Allison: ONCE YOU DO IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CAUGHT SOON ENOUGH AND YOU HAVE THE ARREST THRITIC CONDITIONS OR THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MAYBE -- IS IT A VIRUS THAT GOES TO YOUR HEART OR BACTERIA? NEITHER. IT'S -- Allison: OKAY. IF YOU END UP WITH THOSE SYMPTOMS THEN THEY ARE NOT REVERSEIBLE, ARE THEY? THEY ARE. ACTUALLY YOU MAY BE -- MOST CASES ARE TREATABLE STILL IN THE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES YOU MAY TREAT THE PATIENT. SOME PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY GET BETTER. THERE IS DIFFERENT PERCENTAGES THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED. DIFFERENT GROUPS ARE SHOWING DIFFERENT RESULTS. Allison: I NOTICE YOU BROUGHT TICK CAREER WITH YOU TODAY. GOOD IDEA FOR PEOPLE WORK OUTDOORS TO LOOK AT THAT? WE DEVELOPED THIS IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMUNITY NEED. WE GET TOO MANY PHONE CALLS ASKING HOW THE TICK LOOKS WHAT DO I LOOK FOR AND REMOVE THE TICK. IT HAS PICTURES OF THE TICKS AND IT EXPLAINS HOW TO REMOVE THE TICK. WE HAVE MADE THIS AVAILABLE TO SEVERAL GROUPS, ENVIRONMENTALIST GROUPS PEOPLE WHO WORKS IN OUTDOORS. WE SENT COMMUNICATIONS TO THEIR THE SCHOOL NURSES TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THIS SCHOOL NURSES SEE ALL THE CHILDREN ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE WONDERFUL RESEARCH FOR PREVENTION. WE'RE MAYBING THIS AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC. CAN I TAKE INFINITE JUSTICE IN CASE. PLEASE. Allison: LET'S GO. |
| Intro Hike Return to index of stories... |
The threat of Lyme disease shouldn't keep you from enjoying the great outdoors. Hidden among the many peaks and valleys of New Hampshire's terrain lie some of the most picturesque vistas New England has to offer. Wildlife Journal's Lisa Densmore shows us how a family hike can be the best way to experience nature in the granite state. |
| Take a hike Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire is a largely rural state, blessed with some of the largest, most dramatic mountains in the Eastern United States. For the uninitiated, climbing one of these peaks may seem a daunting physical challenge. In fact, it can be one of the most entertaining, inexpensive ways to get away and enjoy a nice day. Lisa Densmore O-C: I can think of a million reasons to go for hike - the views, the exercise, the conversation, the peace and quiet - but most importantly, it's a great way to spend a day with your kids and not break the bank. This is my son, Parker. Parker, how old are you? I've hiked with Parker since he was six months old. There are a number of sturdy backpacks on the market that are made especially for carrying children under 40 pounds. If you have a child, age 3 or younger, it's a good idea to bring one of these special frame packs in case your little one gets tired. Lisa Densmore O-C: The first step toward planning a kid-friendly hike is deciding where to go. It's always nice to have a goal, such as a swimming hole or a fire tower. Today, we're heading up Mt. Cardigan in Canaan, New Hampshire, which is a moderate 1 1/2 miles from the parking lot to the summit, or 3 miles round-trip. Lisa Densmore V-O: To tell whether the mileage is appropriate for your group, first determine whether the weakest hiker - child or adult - can normally walk the entire mileage, in this case 3 miles, at home. If the answer is yes, great! If the answer is no, pick a different, shorter hike. If you're not sure, a rule of thumb with kids is to never hike farther the youngest child's age. In other words, if you have a four-year-old, like my son Parker, keep the hike under 4 miles round- trip. In New Hampshire, you can get to the top of most of the highest peaks in under 4 miles, or 8 miles round-trip, a reasonable hike for most 8 year olds, although it might take awhile. Lisa Densmore O-C: Which brings up an important safety issue, time! Always give yourself a big time cushion to insure that you're off the trail well before dark. Lisa Densmore V-O: Avid hikers typically average 1 mile per hour, so 3 hours for a 3-mile hike. But the steeper the terrain, the slower you'll go. And with kids, you'll be even slower, probably a half-mile per hour. The last thing you want to do is sentence your kids to a grueling march uphill. Instead, pick a steady pace that's slow enough to allow conversation, and stop frequently for sips of water, snacks, and to check out interesting plants, rocks, and small creatures. There's a lot to see along the trail. Exploring is part of the fun. But never leave the trail! It's easy to lose your bearings in the woods. Lisa Densmore O-C: In truth, a safe, fun hike doesn't take much more than common sense and the ability to walk. Of course, what you wear on your feet can greatly impact the day. Lisa Densmore V-O: Experienced hikers opt for sturdy hiking shoes or full-on hiking boots, which can cost anywhere from $60 to $160. A high tech pair of hiking sock will set you back another $25. But traditional rag wool socks work fine, too, if that's all you've got in your drawer. Lisa Densmore O-C: You can get equally high-tech with your clothing, made from the latest quick-drying synthetic fabrics. But if a cotton t-shirt and shorts are all you've got, throw a couple extras into your backpack so that you can change when one gets sweaty. The key to comfort is to stay dry. Lisa Densmore V-O: It's also wise to bring along raingear, which can also serve as a windbreaker. The temperature drops 3-degress for every 1,000 feet of elevation. Add a 15 m.p.h. breeze on the top, and suddenly the temperature is 20-degrees colder that it was at the car. Bring plenty of water , a fleece vest or jacket for extra insulation, bug spray, a hat for both bug and sun-protection, and a trail map. And don't forget to wear a watch to keep track of time. Lisa Densmore O-C: There are lots of reasons to take your kids hiking. It's healthy. It's cheap. It's outdoors. To me, the most important reason, is self- confidence. When children climb a mountain, it gives them the self-esteem to conquer other challenges. And you give them an activity they can enjoy for life. See you on the trail. |
| Intro Mt. Lion Return to index of stories... |
Chances are if you're walking in the great outdoors, you won't come across a Mountain Lion. Or whill you? Allison McNair takes us to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center to find out more. |
| Mt. Lion Return to index of stories... |
Allison: DAVE, HOW DID YOU GET THE MOUNTAIN LIONS HERE AT THE SCIENCE CENTER? WELL, WE -- FOR A LONG TIME WE HAVE HAD A SPOT SELECTED AND WE KNEW THEY WOULD BE GREAT EXHIBIT ANIMALS TO TEACH THEM IMPORTANT CONCEPTS WE DEAL WITH HER. BUT THESE ANIMALS CAME FROM THE STATE OF MONTANA WHERE THEY WERE ORPHANED. Allison: WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT TEACHING CONCEPTS THAT THEY ALLOW YOU TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE THAT COME THROUGH? THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE PREDATOR WE HAVE IN NORTH AMERICA. THEY ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE PEOPLE OBSERVE DIRECTLY FROM THE ANIMAL 9 BIG CLAWS THEY HAVE. ALSO THE FACT THEY ARE JUST AN IMPRESSIVE MUSCULAR CREATURE. THEY ARE A PREDATOR. WE WANT TO EXPLAIN THE ROLE OF LARGE PREDATOR AND THE PORNGS OF THEM IN THE ECOSYSTEM. Allison: AT ONE TIME WE HAD THESE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NEW ENGLAND? MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE HAVE THE WIDEST RANGE OF ANY ANIMAL IN THE WORLD BUT HERE IN NEW YORK AMERICA. AT ONE POINT FROM THE EAST TO WEST COAST. NOW IN THE EAST THEIR RANGE HAS BEEN GREATLY EFFECTED BY THEY ARE STILL FAIRLY COMMON IN THE FAR WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. Allison: WE HAVE HEARD REPORTS OF PEOPLE SPOTTED THEM IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, COULD IT BE? THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE HERE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ISN'T A LOT OF PROOF THAT THEY ARE HERE. BUT CERTAINLY IN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SHR SEEN THINGS WITH PRETTY RERELIABLE ACCOUNT AS FARV AS THE DESCRIPTION GOES. OFFICIAL LIR THEY ARE NOT RECOGNIZED IN THE STATE. Allison: HOW BIG WILL THEY GET? WHEN THEY ARE FULL GROWN WHICH WILL BE ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF THE MALE MAY GO 165, POSSIBLY EVEN MORE. THE FEMALE WOULD BE CONSIDERABLY LESS BUT UP WARS TO MAYBE 110 POUNDS. Allison: HOW FAST ARE THEY? A LOT FASTER THAN YOU OR A THAT'S FOR SURE. THEIR ACCESS RACE ABILITY IS IMPRESSIVE. IT CAN HIT TOP SPEEDS OF 140 +* MILES PER HOUR. WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO CATCH A DEER FROM 30 YARD AS WAY THEY EXPLODE OUT. IF YOU TRIED TO OUT RUN A MOUNTAIN LION EVEN WITH A 5 WARD LEAD THEY WOULD NAIL YOU BEFORE YOU GOT 50 YARDS. NOT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ATTACK PEOPLE HERE IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE BUT THEY ARE A PREDATOR MEANT TO KILL. Allison: THEY CAN JUMP PRETTY HIGH VERDICT CALLIE AND HORIZONTALLY. YEAH, THE POWERFUL MUSCLES THEY HAVE THEY CAN JUMP 15-18 FEET FROM A STAND STILL STRAIGHT UP. THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CARRY 16 165 POUND DEER UP A 12 FOOT LEDGE. THEY ALSO CAN HORIZONTALRYILY JUMP UPWARDS OF 30 FEET IN ONE LEAP. TREMENDOUS JUMPING, LEAPING AND RUNNING SKILLS NOT TO MENTION THE CLAUSE. CLAWS UNABLE THEM TO CLIMB, TO. IT'S BEEN SAID THE ONLY THING A MOUNTAIN LION DOESN'T DO IS FLY. Allison: I HAVE TO TELL IT IT LOOKS SO PASSIVE I SAY ISN'T IT CUTE. REMINDS ME OF A CAT. , DECEIVE IT, ISN'T IT? THEY ARE CATS. THAT'S THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT OUR CATS THEY ARE FAIRLY CLOSELY RERATED. THIS ONE'S PROBABLY CLOSEST COUSIN ARE THE CHEATA IN AFRICA, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY ARE CAT-LIKE APRIL PEOPLE RELATE TO THAT. THEIR NOT PETS ALTHOUGH OCCASIONALLY PEOPLE DO KEEP THEM AS PETS AND THAT HAS SPAWNED INTERESTED THAT THINKING THE MOUNTAIN LIONS WE MAY HAVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY HAVE COME FROM THAT SOURCE. DON'T LET LOOKS DECEIVE YOU THEY ARE STILL YOUNG BUT THEY HAVE RAISEAR SHARP CLAWS AND INCREDIBLE QUICKNESS. Allison: OUT IN THE WILD WHAT WOULD THEY EAT? PRIMARILY THEY EAT WHATEVER KIND OF STOM STOMACH DIGESTER OUT THERE. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE THEY WOULD BE EATING WHITE TAILED DEER AND YOUNG MUSE ON OCCASION. IN OTHER PARTS OF COUNTRY IT COULD BE ELK OR -- THEY ARE SELECTIVE AS FAR AS THE PREY THEY TAKE. CAPABLE OF TAKING SMALLER ANIMALS. WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD POPULATION THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD HAVE A GOOD POPULATION OF MOUNTAIN LIONS. Allison: ARE YOU GLAD YOU HAVE TWO WOULD IT BE WORTHWHILE TO HAVE ONE OR ARE THEY BETTER OFF IN A PAIR? S THAT THAT'S A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE AT THE CENTER. THEY ARE SOLITARY ANIMALS UNLIKE WONDERFULS THAT HUNT IN A PACK APRIL SURVIVE IN A PACK. THESE GUYS ARE BY THEMSELVES IN THE WILD. THESE TWO ARE SIBLINGS SO PRESUMABLY THEY ARE ALSO ARE NEUTER SO THEY PROBABLY TOLERATE EACH OTHER'S EXISTENCE PRETTY WELL HERE. SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO EDUCATE PEOPLE. THE NATURAL INSTINCT IS THE ANIMAL IS LONELY. WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS TRUE I DON'T KNOW. THE ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY RIGHT NOW. Allison: I SAY THESE ARE MOUNTAIN LIONS BUT YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING THROUGH THAT CALL THEM DIFFERENT NAMES, RIGHT. RIGHT AS THEIR DISTRIBUTION IS SO WIDE THEY HAVE 42 ENGLISH NAMES FOR THE SAME ANIMAL. IF YOU COUNT NATIVE AMERICAN AND SPANISH NAMES FOR THEM THE LIST IS OVER 100. THE COMMON NAMES ARE COWGAR, PIEWMA, PANTHER, PAINTER, SCREAMER. THERE'S A WHOLE LIST OF THEM. Allison: DAVE, THANKS FOR SHOWING US THE EXHIBIT. YOU'RE WELCOME. GLAD YOU COULD COME. |
| Relay for Life Return to index of stories... |
Finally, if you have plans to do some walking this summer, you may want to consider participation in the Relay for Life. Organized by the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life brings together walkers who circle a track over a period of 24 hours. And every year, one cancer survivor passes a torch of hope to another. This year, that responsibility was given to Ric Blake and four year old Noah Irvin. Producer Phil Vaughn brings you the story from Derry. |

Noah script WS of track people walking around it Narr 1 - They were here on foot. Shot of poster of lady Narr 2 - And in memories. Shot of people near tent eating / dissolve to shot of Noah in chair Narr 3 - They came for the night, to raise money and move their cause forward. Ric 744 "Every one of these people's lives are touched by cancer. Look at all these people they are young, old, rich, poor and they all come together for a common cause that's what the mission is about." Steve 3645 "For me just being with other people who are survivors and the people who have lost friends and family helps me deal with Noah's condition." Narr 4 - Noah is four years old. He's a cancer survivor and was in Derry with his family at the Relay for Life. The track was open day and night for the event - nearly 100,000 dollars was raised for cancer research. Christine 3610 "The chemo that Noah is taking now is a trial and trials cost money." Narr 5 - Treatment is a way of life for Noah -- it started at a very young age. Christine 3725 "He was five months old when diagnosed, he was born healthy when at four months, his eyes started shifting. Pediatricians weren't sure what was wrong so we went to Boston, had a cat scan and found a tumor." Narr 6 - When discovered, the tumor was the size of a lemon. Surgery saved his life. Steve 3824 "I thought we were going to lose him. I broke down when we let him go with the surgeons. I was wondering if he was going to come back out." Narr 7 - The tumor took Noah's eyesight and slowed his development. But, it did not kill his family's hope. Christine 3930 "This new treatment is a trial drug and trials mean they don't know what the side effects are or whether it would work. Fortunately for him it did, in nine weeks it went from the size of a lemon down to a grape." Sound of lighting of flame Narr 8 - As the sun dimmed over the track, cancer survivor Ric Blake helped Noah light a path. This entire group has survived cancer. Ric 820 "Every year the flame is given to a survivor, passed from survivor to survivor. It's part of the community of passing on hope, passing on a message that you live with cancer, its part of life. It's a chain that will be unbroken for as long as were fighting this disease. The survivor that receives the flame represents all the survivors. There's a great amount of faith that the survivor's going to be there the following year." Christine 4335 "He'll probably always have developmental problems but it would be nice if at some point we didn't have to have treatment any more. It would be nice to let him be a kid." Shot of flame Steve 4530 "I think of it as an eternal flame keep things moving forward and it's nice to be here every year and see a survivor pass it on to another survivor. We're all sharing the warmth of the torch and the sight of it. We're all together in it." Narr 9 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |
