| Intro Parental Notification Return to index of stories... |
But first, just two days before the state's parental notification law went into effect, a federal court has struck it down. The law would have required healthcare providers to notify a parent at least 48 hours prior to performing an abortion on a minor. The court said the law was unconstitutional because it did not have a provisision that allows for abortions without notifying a parent, to protect the health of a young girl. Tuesday the Governor announced the state would appeal the ruling to the first circuit court. For some perspective, we talked to Norma Love of the Associated Press |
| Intro Educating Homeless Children Return to index of stories... |
Day to day living for homeless families present many challenges. One is how to enroll and keep children in school when frequent moves is a way of life. A modest estimate has the number of homeless children in New Hampshire at nearly 900. That number has almost doubled since the late 1990s. The federal No Child Left Behind Act has mandated that school districts ensure these children get in to school. Producer Phil Vaughn was in Manchester to find out what the law provides. |

Shots of classroom - teacher talking about who is absent N1 - It's a part of a school's daily routine - attendance. This fall, influenza has taken its toll, but for some students, being absent has nothing to do with being sick. Kathy clip 5544 "We've had many people who've been in the shelters who have jobs and they've not been able to get their own housing." N2 - Kathy Erskine is a social worker and district liaison for homeless students in Manchester. Kathy clip 4127 "We used to identify several years ago maybe 75-100 kids and now there's between 175-200 who are homeless. And, we feel that this is not all the homeless children in our school district." N3 - Because, according to Kathy, homeless children are sometimes hard to locate -- or identify. They may be in school one semester and gone the next. Kathy clip 3535 "We do lose track sometimes of families. We've found families who have lived in cars, who have doubled up with other families. They will do anything to provide shelter for their kids." Paul clip 1150 - "We were in a shelter for while they were going to Webster School." N4 - Paul, Stacey and their five children live together in Manchester. These two rooms are where they eat, sleep and do homework. For two years they lived homeless -- most recently, at a campground. Paul 1500 - "There were 15 other homeless families in that campground. Kathy - Where do they go after the campground closes? Paul - Cars, motels." N5 - Kathy is helping Paul and Stacey keep their children in school. Kathy clip 1030 "I know you were living else where. How did that work out with the schools? Were they in schools? Paul - They've been in five different schools." Stacey 1848/640 - "All the different moves cause a lot of pain on them, but they make the best of it. But I'd say they've missed a good half school year in total over the last 2 years." N6 - Under the No Child Left Behind Act, is a law that's intended to help keep homeless children in school. It's called McKinney-Vento. The US Department of Education sends $150,000 to NH, the minimum amount for homeless education programs. Kathy 2922 "The purpose of the law is so that kids can enroll at school, attend school and be successful in school." Sound of daughter reading to family N7 - Paul is a tattoo artist. He and Stacey moved to Manchester to look for work. But there's a law here that says, only physicians can practice tattoo art. So Paul cuts sheet metal, for little pay. Paul 1740 "We would need to pay between 850-1,800 dollars for an apartment. I make 360 dollars a week after taxes. We can't afford that." Kathy clip 3210 "In some cases the families are working but can't afford the housing costs. The housing costs have risen tremendously in Manchester and the rest NH I think." N8 - When Kathy heard about Paul and Stacey's situation, she went to meet them. She learned they were having trouble getting their children to school - they weren't on a bus route. Kathy 4905 "Dad was trying to bring the kids to a friends house to pick up the bus before he went to work and there was a question of being late at work some mornings so the kids didn't make it to school and that's when I got the call about the attendance slipping a little bit." N9 - Under the McKinney-Vento Act, school districts are now responsible to bus homeless students to the last school they attended. Kathy 2944 "So students who become homeless during the school year are allowed to remaining the school of origin, the school that they were previously attending, even if they're living outside of the city." N10 - Districts pick up the tab. In return there's stability for students who desperately need it. Kathy 3825 "They lose 3-6 months of gains that they've made when there's a move. So you can see how that would put kids further behind the more moves they make. So this is an effort to prevent that from happening." Stacey 620 "This year they've missed 12 days. This is the first semester and it's only been 12 days so, but with the bus I'm hoping they won't miss any more." Kathy 5309 "For me it'll be an interesting story how they've managed to keep going forward in spite of the fact that they've been living in a trailer, shelter, campground. Despite all these circumstances that would get many of us down they are able to look forward, look ahead." N11 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

| Intro Lobster Pot Return to index of stories... |
Finally. for many in Northern New England, winter wouldn't be the same without time spent on the ice. For some people, that fun includes sled hockey. It's so popular that a new tradition may have been formed this month at New England's first Lobster Pot Sled Hockey Tournament. Producer Barrett Lester shows us the success the players enjoy both on and off the ice. |

SCRIPT VO 1 Dan Sousa lost his leg in a motorcycle accident when he was 16 years old. But his life today is a full one. His daughter loves to ride on his lap… especially when he's engaged in his current sports passion… sled hockey. BROLLSOT OF Dan playing hockey. SOT *1:19:07-1:19:15-It's the contact it's the speed. And the excitement just like standup hockey is… it's all there and more. VO 2 Dan is the captain of the Crushers, a sled hockey team organized by Northeast Passage. This non profit organization, located at the University of New Hampshire, supports physically challenged individuals like Dan. SOT DAN 1:21:00-1:21:10 You've got to be a little courageous to get out there in the first place… it's cold! Who wants to go in the cold to try something new…. VO 3 So is this a story about surmounting incredible odds? Dan doesn't think so. SOT DAN 1:24:20-1:24:40 Everyone thinks is such a big jump to get on with your life after you're disabled… it happened,… you're forced into this…… cover broll SOT DAN 1:25:13- 1:25-:20* You are faced with a choice if I want to go on with my life or do nothing. And no one wants to do nothing. VO 4 True to his philosophy, Dan has come to the Family Ice Center in Falmouth, Maine to lead the Crushers into the Lobster Pot Sled Hockey tournament. His coach is Tom Carr, the Program Coordinator at Northeast Passage. Tom believes the team experience is a critical component. SOT TOM 1:05:30 The part about sled hockey… a lot of folks with disabilities may not have had an opportunity to play on a team per say… it wouldn't have been easy….there's not necessarily a sled hockey team in every town. Script 2 VO 5 And the team experienced is enhanced for the Crushers with a coed roster of disabled and able-bodied players. SOT TOM 1:08:54* Almost every sled hockey team has able bodied players… it is a truly integrated sport. Someone watching would have a hard time picking out. that's the idea. VO 6 Jessie Nelsen joined the Crushers as an able-bodied player. SOT JESSIE 2:05:08-2:05:32 I'm a team sport person, I'm not an individual sport person. And I think the mix of people here… particularly with people overcoming challenges makes it more of an experience and more fun. VO 7 Kevin Hosier is one of those players. A newcomer to sled hockey, he has come a long way since his life altering injury two years ago. SOT KEVIN 2:12:25-02:12:50* I got in a snowmobile accident which left me paralyzed from the waist down. it was pretty devastating to me… until tom helped me out. I'm an active person. I had no idea you could do sports like hockey. it's great. VO 8 Kevin gave us a little sled hockey demonstration. SOT 2:18:38 Kevin getting on ice with SOT 2:19:22 Kevin getting on ice 2 2:20:21 Kevin on ice Sled pan 2:21:02* Kevin demonstrates sled…. The faster you push, the faster you go… SOT TOM… 1:15:39* Sled hockey in particular… are really sport first… people interested in being on a team… scoring a goal… doing what all athletes like to do… 1:16:06 It's really about sports first… disabilities just happens to be the case. VO 9 Leading the Crushers into the first game of the Lobster Pot Tournament against the Boston Blades, Tom gives his team a final pep talk. Script 3 SOT TOM 2:23:34-:55 Dan: Boston has 2 subs. the quicker we can… we're going to run these guys into the ground. SOT ANNOUNCER 2:25:24 Announcer starting game. SOT DAN 2:26:51 Dan: 1,2,3, together! SOT GAME 3:01:11 SCORE 1 3:01:27 Kevin Playing 3:02:02 Almost score against us. 3:02:25 Score against us. 3:06:27 Score 2 STAND UP 3:22:35 3:24:52 3:26:39* SOT Moving from a wheelchair into a hockey sled may seem like a difficult step for many of these players, but you wouldn't know it. The competitive spirit of the game dominates here in the middle of the third period and the Crushers are locked in a 2 to 2 tie with the Boston Blades. I wouldn't want to handicap this game. SOT OF GAME 3:12:19 Almost score on us 2 3:13:08 Almost score from high 3:15:00 almost score 2 from high 3:19:31 Good general action SOT AUDIO UNDER: TOM 1:11:53-1:12;05* You look around at the crushers… there's not many excuses left… everyone's overcoming something. Jessie 2:03:58-2:04:13 The motivation and energy and 150%… gives is amazing. Kevin 2:14:05-:15* It's pretty exciting. Give me a lot of confidence to get out there… and do this stuff. VO 10 As the clock counted down to two minutes, David Conklin scored the Crushers' winning goal. Conklin is a Para Olympian who played with the U.S. gold medal team in Salt Lake City in 2002. Script 4 SOT DAVE CONKLIN 3:31:10-3:31:24 This is a great opportunity to share some skills… it's really good to come back and play with them again. SOT DAN DAN AFTER GAME 3:29:46-3:30:46 What a game huh… we really pulled together. A lot of fun. VO 11 Fun, and a lot more than just a victory for all the players of the Northeast Passage Crushers. At the Lobster Pot Tournament in Falmouth, Maine, I'm Barrett Lester for New Hampshire Outlook. |
