| Hello/Intro Seeds of Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. For young people growing up in the middle of the Arab/Israeli conflict, life can be full of trauma and anger. In southern Maine, there's a camp where young people, who live with violence, come to consider the prospect of peace for their war-torn worlds. The program, "Seeds Of Peace" offers a place where young people can get to know what its like on the other side of conflict. The campers, chosen by their governments, travel half a world away for the chance to talk with their neighbors. Producer Phil Vaughn takes us back to a time in summer when enemies meet. |

Millions of people around the world are infected with HIV and the AIDS virus and a large percentage of those infected are women. To help put a more human face to the numbers, UNH graduate and composer Tim Janis offered a concert series to the region in 2002. The series featured an HIV positive women's choir from South Africa. Celene Ramadan brings us the story. |

| Senior Companion Return to index of stories... |
Senior Companions Story NAT T2: Marylou walking up to the door. Track One: Marylou Collins is picking up her friend Norma for some Christmas shopping. But before they can go searching for presents, Marylou checks in with Norma. Name/Title: Marylou Collins/Senior Companion SOT T2: I instantly access her condition. I know she's taken her medication, she's very good about that. But I look at her. I know when Norma is in pain. I know her face that well. Track Two: Norma and Marylou have been spending time together for the past two years as part of the Senior Companion program. It's a service that matches an individual who is homebound, like Norma, with a Senior Companion. William Dearborn is one of the program coordinators. Name/Title: William M. Dearborn/Coordinator, Senior Companion Program Bite: What seniors want Track Three: Norma lost her independence when she lost her car. But she still has places to go. Today it's out to lunch, and then shopping. Tomorrow it's a doctor's appointment. The destination may change, but the person who helps get her there is always the same . NAT T3: Marylou: "All in? Fasten your safety belt!" Name/Title: Norma Barth/Visitee SOT T2: I think of Marylou, personally, more as a friend than someone to get me where I want to go or something like that. So, I mean, it makes everything more relaxed. It works better that way. Track Four: It may seem simple enough; a weekly visit or two to exchange some words or books. But Marylou brings Norma a great deal more than this each time she knocks on her door. Family members can't always be there to care for a loved one, especially in emergencies. When Norma recently fell, she didn't call 911. She phoned Marylou. SOT T2: Marylou: I like to think my role is assisting her. We've also developed a friendship. You do, you can't help it. That person is important. You think about that person. Is this person doing this and that…Now maybe I shouldn't get so involved, but I can't help it. I know they have needs that maybe aren't being met by their families. That's my role. Name/Loc: Max Pearlstein/Hampton SOT T3: Norma and Marylou are just one of the many stories from this program. There are 72 Senior Companions in New Hampshire who help over 600 people. Even though they receive a small stipend for their work, this isn't a job. SOT T1: Dearborn: It does provide some money for our Senior Companions to pay for some basic needs, medication, food, but you can see it in their eyes. They're doing it for the love of the program and the people they visit. NAT T3: Marylou: "Are you hungry?" SOT T1: Marylou: It has been a very great program for me. I'm a widow and my children have flown the nest, gone out in the world. It filled a gap in my life…I felt empty. SOT T2: Norma: I can make her laugh. She can talk to me the same way I can talk to her. She can talk to me on a real personal level, like if there's something bothering her…and I think that's really great. That's really great. SOT T2: Marylou: I know many people in the Hampton and Portsmouth areas that are not getting this service that need it. They accost me in the hallways of apartment complexes and say: "Please take me. Please come in." But you have to separate from them. Six visitees is enough for me. SOT T2: Pearlstein: "Where would you be without the Senior Companion program?" Norma: I'd probably be begging everyone I know…So I'd probably be a lot more frustrated. A lot more. SOT T2: Marylou: When a 96-year-old man, a very good man, hugged me and said: "You have made the most difference in my life with this program than anything in past, outside of family." That was a reward for me and for the program. I didn't need anymore that day. I floated home. Track Six: In Hampton, I'm Max Pearlstein for NH Outlook. |

Also making a difference -- a program that pairs seniors with children. In the town of Northfield, a group of foster grandparents are lending a helping hand to young people in their community. Celene Ramadan has the story. |
| Foster Grandparents Return to index of stories... |
Foster Grandparents: JUANITA GEORGE HAS OVER 20 GRANDCHILDREN…IN THE CLASSROOM, THAT IS. JUANITA HELPS OUT AT THE UNION SANBORN SCHOOL IN NORTHFIELD AS A FOSTER GRANDPARENT. WHY?… Juanita Keeps me young! I enjoy being with the children and it really keeps you young. It's very rewarding when they come and say "can you help me with this?" and you can - and I like it. SUZAN GANNETT IS THE PRINICIPAL ON THE UNION SANBORN SCHOOL. THIS SCHOOL HAS HAD GRAMMYS AND GRAMPYS IN THE CLASSROOM FOR OVER 20 YEARS. Suzan We're participating in the Foster Grandparents program for what our kids get out of it. It really helps to bridge the generation gap. They've always got a smiling face in the morning and they greet the kids as they come in the door and we have another one of the teachers that drives one of our foster grandparents to work so that she can still come so we've made a joint commitment and it's a real partnership. And it gives a feeling of family here in this building, which we appreciate. Juanita I like it so much I'm here most of the time! I work four days a week 7:30 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon. And course I'm not constantly working, we have our snack time and I have my lunch and that's another good thing - I get my lunch! JUANITA, OR "GRAMMY GEORGE", SPENT MOST OF HER LIFE WORKING AS A NURSE. Juanita Getting close to fifty years I thought…ehh, I'll try something different. And this is good. It's good. We're helping our future citizens, maybe future nurses - how do I know? HELPING TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE FUTURE AND THE PAST IS THE GOAL OF THE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS PROGRAM. JIM DOREMUS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FRIENDS PROGRAM, SAYS HE APPRECIATES THE BOND THAT GROWS BETWEEN A FOSTER GRANDPARENT AND A CHILD. Jim If you could see a child talk about their FG that says it all. Because you'll it in their face, their eyes, their expression and it's the love that they feel and have for those FGs and it's very special. Jim We've seen people who have graduated from high school and then run into one of the people who was their FG and there's still that connection there that is really special. So what is really, I think, neat about this aside form the relationship with the senior is that is really is that it's community based it maintains itself. And so that makes it even more powerful. THE EXTRA HELP AND ATTENTION IN THE CLASSROOM IS A BENEFIT FOR BOTH THE CHILDREN AND THE TEACHERS. BUT FOR THE SENIORS THEMSELVES, THERE'S A WHOLE OTHER SET OF ADVANTAGES. Jim There are benefits to this that are fairly tangible - they receive a non-taxable stipend, they also have access to health care and they receive at their site maybe transportation to and from the site. They may also receive a meal as a part of their service. Jim I think most importantly that they derive that's of the most value that it gives these folks, these seniors, an opportunity to be re-engaged in the community in a highly meaningful way. We all need that. That's essential for us for our own sense of being and I think that's the most important thing. PLUS, THE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS GET TO BE CALLED THINGS LIKE "GRAMMY" Juanita Do you like that the kids call you grammy? It doesn't bother me a bit because they say it so sweetly - that it - it really is nice. Suzan Yeah, they call them grammy. We all call them grammy. So it's grammy brown and grammy george and grammy raffley so we all call them that. THE GRAMMYS ALSO DO A GREAT DEAL OF LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM. Well, I think it has broadened my view of what you have to do to get education in progress. I thought you just unlocked the doors and the kids came in - but there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that people don't know about. Preparations for the classes, continuing education for the teachers and it's quite a program to get into really - education is. GETTING MORE SENIORS INTO THE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS PROGRAM HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR JIM. Jim There's always a need for FGs people who are 60 years or older who like to be involved working with children - with a flexible schedule I encourage you to look into this. Juanita I certainly would recommend it for any grammy or grandpa - the men, too. The men would probably be happier in an older class like second, third grade - but yes, I would recommend it just to brighten up your life, too. Doesn't it? They'll say hi to you, too. And I would recommend it highly. FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK, I'M CELENE RAMADAN. JUANITA - "I'M BACK". |

The Seeds of Peace program offers a place where young people can get to know what its like on the other side of conflict.

Tuesday December 14, 2004 UNH Colt Birth How the birth of a colt could mean big bucks for the University of New Hampshire's equine program. Therapeutic Riding Therapeutic Riding orginated in Europe in the 19-50's. Today there are more than 500 centers in the U-S. The program takes advantage of the special bond that seems to form between the horse and these riders. We take a closer look at the program at the University of New Hampshire. Horse Farm Animal shelters often provide a home for cats and dogs -when owners can no longer take care of them. But what happens when horses are abandoned? "Live and Let Live Farm" in Chichester specializes in taking in homeless horses, rehabilitating them, and putting them up for adoption. Wednesday December 15, 2004 Charter Schools When it comes to school choice -- most parents believe they should have the right to say "where" their child can get best educated. In the past, school options have been limited in New Hampshire but that's changing. The growing charter school movement has made its way to the Granite state. We'll take you to the town of Franklin, where the state's first charter school experiment is underway. Thursday December 16, 2004 Barn Preservation Historic Barns are slowly disappearing from the NH landscape --victims of decay, fire and, in some cases dismantled and moved to other states looking to capture a piece of New England heritage. Changing times and new uses have rendered some of these historic structures useless and expensive for owners to maintain. But, efforts are underway to Preserve New Hampshire's agricultural heritage.
