script iconHello/Intro Flood tour
Return to index of stories...
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
With the flood waters receding, communities hit hard across the region are assessing just how much damage was inflicted by the recent floods.
Governor Lynch spent time touring flood-damaged areas on Thursday, including Newmarket, Hudson and Raymond.
In Newmarket, a low-lying area in the center of town suffered the worst damage.
People there are working on assessing damage and recovering items that survived the flood.
The Governor says it will take a while to get a complete picture of the damage, but he is confident that federal assistance will soon be available.
The Governor says the floods that devastated parts of southwestern New Hampshire last fall helped the state and its communities respond better to this week's flooding.

For affected homeowners the misery they're feeling in the afermath of the floods may get worse when it comes to filing insurance claims.
In many cases, homeowners insurance policies may not cover flood damage.
Many homeowners just never thought they'd be susceptible to flooding and didn't purchase the insurance.
Outlook's Richard Ager spoke with NH Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny Thursday -- and asked the Commissioner what folks need to know about insurance in the wake of a flood.

Richard caught up with the Commissioner at
St. Paul's School in Concord -- was one of the hardest hit places in the Concord-area.
The boarding school suffered significant damage when water overflowed a dam in the center of campus-- leaving much of the campus underwater.
The school sent home more than 500 students ending classes 2-and-a-half weeks early.
St. Paul's is now challenged with restoring physical assets that were damaged in the floods, including critical collections from the school's library.
A major project will also be re-constructing school roads.

Return to index of stories...
The movie version of The Da Vinci Code makes its world-wide premiere Friday.
It's expected to be this summer's blockbuster.
It's based on the best-selling book by Rye author Dan Brown which has grabbed headlines from the beginning.
The plot involves a conspirary by the Catholic Church to cover up the so called "true" story of Jesus.
From a religious point of view: critics call it "sacrilegious" and decry the many negative implications about the Catholic Church.
The Da Vinci Code suggests Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and fathered a child.
Religious leaders worry that moviegoers, not versed in church history, will view events in the film and book as truth not a work of fiction.
There has even been talk of a boycott and protests.

Should the thriller be taken so seriously by religious leaders?
Here to talk about the "much-hyped" movie and the surrounding controversy:
Kelley Spoerl, Chair of theTheology Department at St Anselm College in Manchester, and Andrew Stangel, an Art Historian from the University of NH who lectures on
"The Da Vinci Code".
.
Q The book has sold more than 60 million copies, its in 44 different languages. The controversy has spawned a Mini-Industry DEBUNKING the book.
It's a POP PHENOMENON.
ANDREW: What do you make of all this?
** Is this movie likely to affect viewers religious beliefs or perspectives as feared???
Q KELLY: Sony & The film's star Tom Hanks are using the FLAP as PR.
shouldn't the CHURCH use this as an opportunity to TEACH??
** You'll be involved in forums by Manchester Diocese in June
Q ANDREW: Vatican Talk of a BOYCOTT. Doesn't that kind of action -- create the impression that CHRISTIANS aren't open to debate???
** Why does the CHURCH NOT view this as Potential for SPARKING thoughtful dialogue.
Q KELLY: Is "The Da Vinci Code" an opportunity for the CHURCH to answer critics who say church has dragged its feet on issues such as the sex abuse scandal.
Q ANDREW: What TRUTH is there in this FICTION?
Q KELLY: Have we lost the ability to distinguish between FACT and fiction?
Q ANDREW: What has the book now movie done for ART HISTORY
renewed interest perhaps????
Q KELLY: OPUS DEI, The Conservation Catholic group figures prominently in the book and film in the form of a KILLER ALBINO MONK.
For months now -- Opus Dei has EMBRACED the media to COUNTERACT the notion of the group being a cult. Have they been SUCCESFUL in counteracting the Problematic IMAGE?
Q ANDREW Let's talk about the historical accuracy of the film.
Much has been made of the Picture of the Last Supper.
Did Leonardo Da Vinci paint Mary Magdalen to Jesus's RIGHT in the famous picture?
Q KELLY: You've been quoted as saying that you see this as as a time when the
Catholic church & It's history and culture INTERSECT with pop culture.
What did you mean???
Q Some of the controversial theories in the book and movie:
that Jesus's divinity was invented after his death for political reasons
that Mary Magdalene secretly married Jesus with the lineage continuing into modern time
=================
End
Q KELLY: Does the Da Vinci code tap into dissatisfaction with Jesus as we know him
Is this a chance for the CHURCH to talk about the role of WOMEN???
Q What will good catholics do this weekend -- ???
WILL YOU ATTEND THE MOVIE?
Q ANDREW: Is it realistic to think the faithful will ABSTAIN from seeing one of the BIGGEST films of the summer season???
Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ".
