| MTBE Return to index of stories... |
The State's ground and surface waters are under attack. That's what New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed said Monday at a news conference announcing a lawsuit over the gasoline additive MTBE. The suit charges 22 major oil companies with increasing the use of MTBE even though it is known to contaminate water supplies. MTBE helps gas burn cleaner. But it also is a big polluter. In fact, Heed called it the Houdini of pollutants. That's because the chemical is hard to trace and clean up. It's estimated that some 40,000 wells in the state contain traces of mtbe. The lawsuit asks the court to make the companies responsible for the costs of mitigation including investigation and cleanup. |
| Intro Adolescent Health Return to index of stories... |
When it comes to adolescent healthcare, New Hampshire does fairly well compared to the rest of the country. Still, the services we do have are spread throughout the state, leaving some organizations working on their own. Last Friday, a summit in Manchester brought many of these people together. The goal - to create a statewide plan to keep our young people well. |
| Adolescent Health Return to index of stories... |
Narr 1 - It was the first of its kind in New Hampshire - a statewide summit devoted entirely to adolescent healthcare. Kristine clip - "We're here to develop a plan to address…" Narr 2 - That statewide plan has been taking shape since early in the year. It's the offspring of the University of NH's Adolescence Resource Center and the state's Bureau of Maternal and Child Health. They've been studying issues relating to adolescent healthcare and looking at ways to address them. Kristine clip - "So we take the skeleton plan and develop ways to implement it in the community…" Kathy clip - "The way to go from plan to reality…something they can do." Narr 3 - Kathy Desilets works for the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health. She coached her group on how to make theory - reality. Kathy clip - Have to be doable things or else they won't get done…identify what's missing." Narr 4 - What's often missing are the young people according to Tym Rourke. He has seen healthcare policies made and then fail. Tym clip - "Because often times, adults think they know best…youth here today have the opportunity to do that." Lauren clip - "We were asked to sign up…interested in having adults ask what teens are doing." Narr 5 - Lauren Erickson is seventeen. She's one of a dozen or more teens that were invited to the summit to help develop the statewide healthcare plan. Lauren clip - "Because today's society is different than my mom's…and show kids." Tym clip - "That's what's youth need…and being a part of it." Kathy clip - What's happening in these groups…and start working on them." Narr 7 - That work will continue and become the statewide strategic plan for adolescent health by early in the new year. Kristine clip - "We will then be only the sixth state…plan." Narr 8 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |
