Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Intro Health Scam Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire's Attorney General's office is warning consumers to think twice before signing up for discount health plans they see advertised in the newspaper or receive by mail or fax. Assistant Attorney General David Rienzo says consumers may think they're buying one thing, but in fact, are getting absolutely nothing in return. Discount health plans offer discounts on a variety of medical services. There's usually a monthly fee involved. Rienzo says these plans are not considered health insurance because they do not assume any financial risk. He sat down with producer Dawn DeAngelis and began by explaining how the Attorney General's office became aware of the ads. |

| Intro Ladybugs Return to index of stories... |
A problem of a different sort --has been "bugging" a lot of Granite staters. We're talking ladybugs! Some homeowners are finding themselves with hundreds even thousands of these unwanted house guests. They're literally crawling out of the woodwork. While ladybugs are not harmful, their sheer numbers can be a bit overwhelming. Alan Eaton, an Extension Professor of Entomology gives us some perspective on these little orange beetles -- that are not always viewed as a sign of good luck. |
| Intro Nesenkeag Return to index of stories... |
Ladybugs are just one sign of spring -- fresh produce is another. Most of the produce in stores right now is from California -- but, from spring to fall, local farmers give out-of-state growers a run-for-their-money. Producer Susan Hoy-do profiles the Nesenkeag Farm in Litchfield --which has been successful at marketing distinctive crops that taste "best" when grown in the New England climate. |

| Intro Pepin Return to index of stories... |
-- A hearing continues today to determine whether a former volunteer for Governor Craig Benson should be fined for her role in negotiating state health contracts. The state accuses Linda Pepin of collecting 187-thousand dollars in broker's fees without a license and wants to fine her 42-thousand dollars. Testimony from two health insurance company officials this morning focused on whether she acted as a broker in negotiating the contracts. Pepin, who says she did nothing wrong in accepting the money, is expected to testify later today. |
