Return to index of stories...
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
We begin our program with New Hampshire's State of Emergency.
Cheshire and Sullivan counties were inundated over the weekend with nearly a
foot of rain.
From Keene to Alstead, swollen rivers burst their banks and turned streets into lakes.
About a dozen roads are impassable. And those are just the roads maintained by the state.
Nearly 1,000 people were forced out of their homes and at least 3 people perished in the floodwaters.
Outlook's Allison McNair has been to some of the hardest hit areas and joins us now from Concord with an assessment of the damage.

There is no dollar estimate of damage at this point.

I was 26 before my 27th birthday…found lump.was misdiagnosed 2 times prior to this and brought me into a dark room and said you have cancer it wasn't real.:37
TRT: Betsy had been married only 4 years when the cancer diagnosis came.
6:11 How did your family respond - my mom okay, Patrick was the gem I can't thank him enuf, your husband, smiling and incredible 6:37
TRT: Betsy had long dreamed of being an "at-home" Mom -
but children and cancer treatment -- don't always mix -- and doctors were not hopeful.
But, 4 years after getting cancer -- she gave birth to a baby girl, a boy followed 2 years later -
Go get Ali.where is she? 41:05
41:14 hugs Andrew 41:17 hi sweetie
Betsy Tape/ Beth ques: 7:08 still emotional at times; oh yes definetly…when it comes to Patrick and the children yes Life changing…oh yes definetly…the same stuff stop and smell the roses…we all stop and smell the flowers - 7:28
TRT: 53-year old Renee Russell, the mother of 5, works at the off-site kitchen for the Hanover Co-Op where she's affectionately called "the comfort food queen":
Renee: 1:41 my favorite thing to do is to make comfort food, stews etc,. things I'm comfortable with too.1:54
TRT: It was less than 2 years ago when Renee was in need of comfort herself.
Renee: 7:07 I was working here when I was doing the chemo - and I would go every Wednesday for chemo and continued to work…it was difficult by doable.
8:27 and then radiation came after that and that was in middle of summer worked every single day and scheduled radiation --- took a lot out of me challenging to do that.
Renee 25:11 there were times when I had to force myself to put one foot in front of the other, but I always wanted to come to work…I like what I do.I like my job and I like the people 25:26
14:25 Beth did you have any family history? Yes
TRT: Both Renee and Betsy say something about this project struck a chord.
This was positive and creative.
up on Renee A writing and acting workshop, wow different, that's why I decided to do it.
It pulled a lot of emotions out of me…tucked away…needed to deal with it.
TRT: It's the brainchild of Noted Author Jodi Picoult and Theater Professional Leah Carey who wanted to take a small group of breast cancer survivors on a journey of self discovery and healing.
LeahTape: 48:10 So these women could take ownership of experience that had once owned them.
Leah: 51:16 One of the earlier ideas was the winner's circle…because all of these women have made it to the end, they are winners…but bosom buddies came out of the text of the show and seemed appropriate and snappy make people sort of giggle 51:36
8:52 imagine golden light allow it come inside chest and heart
TRT: The 8 women met 2 evenings a week for 12 weeks - 1 night to write a narrative, the 2nd night to compile it into a script for a performance. They came as strangers and will leave as friends. Belonging to a sorority, they say, you don't want to join.
55:18 Marcia Berry- Marcia was diagnosed 15 years ago…
now works at Dartmouth Hitchcock 55:41
55:54 Pj Hamel…Pj was diagnosed about 2 years ago, had radical mastectomy has teenage son and works at King Arthru flour 56:15

56:56 Dee Pingleton
57:34 Dee was diagnosed in 1980…cancer gave courage buy home make life for
herself 57:50
57:56 Carole Webbber, Carole was diagnosed in 1988, had 3 kids at home…re-diagnosed in 2002 lost other breast as well 58:12
TRT: The women say the workshop has made a "difference" in their lives:
I know its only been 12 weeks but I don't get as fearful as I used to be when I have my mammogram or have to see the doctor or with every ache and pain associated with breast cancer.
It's given me some of that vitality back its something new and different. Its been a lot of fun 18:05
Renee: Cancer did not make me sad and angry what a trooper inspire other people.I want people to see my strength was a façade 25:49
16:27-:39 I've tightened I've shortened, try to pull it down to its essence
16:51 everybody walking in in a straight line, back to audience, one by one give your little intro
Leah TAPE:
I got thru 2 cancers and survived to talk about it
LeAH Tape: 50:30/ It's not the end of a person's experience a woman is still a woman after losing a breast or 2 - that I just isn't the end of the world 50:56
30:54/ Marcia: I awoke daughter at bed stricken, husband distraught, dressing binding me I knew - 3 doctors malignant, death sentence.I didn't believe it then 31:27
Leah TAPE: Leah 1:01:16 We are planning on having little boxes of tissues at the door to hand out with the program….this is not an unemotional show 1:01:21

Renee Tape: RENEE: 11:15/ If you take time to dig deep - you can find a lot of things there you didn't deal with.- so much better to deal with , talk about it write, don't shy away from it which is what I did in the first place 11;35
Dress Rehearsal Tape 1 27:57: Betsy: Suddenly I was told chemo and radiation make dream nearly impossible…but then 4 years later a miracle 6:58 am sat, july Alison…children are living proof 28:18

Response to the program was so overwhelming they took the show on the road. Since its debut in Hanover in 2004-- "Bosom Buddies" has been performed 15 times before audiences in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
They've had so many requests for a video or film of the show --they're now working on doing just that -- which they hope will bring their message of hope -- to an even broader audience.

This Sunday, October 16-th the American Cancer Society sponsors its annual
nation-wide "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk.
8 NH communities are hosting events.
Here to talk about the Battle against Breast Cancer:
Joanne Gersten the state Vice President for Cancer Control at the American Cancer Society, and, Kimberly Clark, a breast cancer survivor and chair of the Durham Walk.
Welcome.
Q JOANNE: Give us the BIG picture. What are the numbers in terms of Breast Cancer cases. in NH??
** WOMEN , overall have a 1 in 7 chance of breast cancer.
Q KIMBERLY: You're a survivor. You were 35 and mother of 2 when you got the news. You found a lump?? How long ago?
script iconMaking Strides conv
Return to index of stories...
Q JOANNE: There are a lot of stories like Kimberly's. More women are surviving
and today there are more "Breast-Saving" treament options
In KIMBERLY'S case: Early detection was key.
What do women need to do to FIND these cancers sooner rather than later.
Treatment options far better -- survival rate far better.
Q KIMBERLY: What do you say to other women about what you've gone thru.
Are most ammendable to MAMOGRAMS. Or still a lot of fear???
Q JOANNE: Last year, the walk raised more than ONE-MILLION in NH WHERE does that money go???
Q KIMBERLY: -- Your family rallies around you & walks.
What does that mean to you.
Q JOANNE: Biggest RISK factors??
What's available in the way of programs for women.
KIMBERLY: Do you think about your CANCER regularly. Do you worry about
recurrence. What about your girls??
** You got involved in Reach to Recovery program.
One-on-One peer support group
Q JOANNE: Almost everyone knows someone who's had breast cancer, a mother, sister,friend. There is Reason for HOPE. Seeing a slow, steady DROP in
breast-cancer deaths since 19-90. BUT, breast cancer rates are INCREASING.
WHY??
Lifestyle choices: Hormone Replacement Therapy, Delaying childbirth & having fewer children, and Obesity.
** Women who gain 21-30 pounds after 18 have higher risk of breast cancer.
Those who gain more than70 pounds DOUBLE their risk.

Cancer Play
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a time to reach out to women, help build awareness for the disease, and stress the importance of early detection. Some women are getting the message through theatre. Beth Carroll takes us to a rehearsal of a play called “Bosom Buddies,” to hear breast cancer survivors share their stories and talk about life after treatment. They also attest to the theatre’s ability to help in their healing.
Making Strides
For more than 20 years, advocates for early breast cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment have been raising awareness through community events and fundraisers. This month, the American Cancer Society will sponsor "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" on Sunday, October 16th. Participants will take part in walks in eight New Hampshire communities to raise awareness and money to fight breast cancer. We’ll learn more about the fundraiser and what strides are being made against the disease.

Artist and Economist Russ Thibeault
He’s an economist by day and an artist by night. Russ Thibeault is the president of Applied Economic Research in Laconia and he’s also a self-taught artist. Thibeault took up watercolor painting at age 40. His one-man show, “Beauty in a Small Place: Images of Perley Pond,” focuses on more than a year of work at a tiny roadside pond in downtown Laconia. His work is on display at the Belknap Mill in Laconia. All profits from the sale of his watercolors and photographs will be donated to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Operations Fund. We’ll tour the exhibit and talk with Thibeault about the importance of art in his day-to-day life.

Author John Clayton on his book: “You Know You’re in New Hampshire When…”
You know you’re in New Hampshire when… “You can name the fourteenth president” or when “You’re ‘On Golden Pond’,” according to Manchester native and Union Leader columnist/reporter John Clayton. He’s written a book of 101 places, people, events, customs and traditions that are part of the Granite State’s image. “You Know You’re in New Hampshire When…” is the 13th in his series of “You Know You’re In…” books. The longtime host of NHPTV’s New Hampshire Crossroads program talks with NH Outlook host Beth Carroll about his third book about New Hampshire and how he decided what to include in it.

Since then, his vineyard and the company have grown. Reinhold’s business now includes a tasting room, gift shop, and a small copper still that began producing vodka in 2004.

Breast cancer stats
Breast cancer strikes 1 out of 8 women.
In 2004, nearly 216-thousand women nationwide heard the words they fear the most: breast cancer.
In NH, 920 women were diagnosed.
A key to survival is "early" detection -- that's where mamograms come in.
Most physicians advise women to get a baseline mammogram at age 35 -- and annual screenings after age 40.
