Cutting stress, altering diet fix woes

Mon, 14 May 2012 07:40:00 EST

If you have known or lived with numerous cats, it is likely that you have met a cat that urinates in the house. I used to live with a cat named Spike; his name has been changed to protect his identity. He used to urinate in the bathtub, which made for an unpleasant morning surprise nearly once a week. He also enjoyed urinating in suitcases full of clothing, which helped me get my packing and unpacking done very quickly.

Nissitissit Land Trust quietly excels in area conservation

Mon, 14 May 2012 07:40:00 EST

Most of the rivers and watersheds in this area have some kind of âfriendâ â a land trust, a river association or a town conservation commission looking out for them. One of the first official organizations in this area was the Nissitissit Land Trust created in 1968. The Nissitissit is a small river about 10 miles long. It rises in Lake Potanipo in Brookline, flows through a piece of Hollis and joins the Nashua River in Pepperell, Mass.

Schoolhouse Hero: Campbell teacher has had lifelong interest in biology

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:58:34 EST

Growing up in England, Linda Frost always planned on studying biology at a university. Although she wasnât sure exactly what she would do with a biology degree once she graduated, Frost said she simply âliked science, especially biology,â so it seemed like a logical route. Besides, in the United Kingdom, program matriculation has strict rules, she explained. Once the student has chosen a major, there is no switching to another program. But that wouldnât be an issue for Frost, who had no second thoughts about a biology major.

BGâs battle of the bands full of Prestige

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:58:40 EST

Bishop Guertin High School is well known for its largest accomplishments: its academics, its sports programs, its â¦ rock concerts? On May 5, BG had its annual battle of the bands, known as Guertin Live. The event was organized by seniors Matt Yourtee and Michael Yu, two of the members of Prestige Worldwide, the band that started the concert and uses it as a fundraiser. But isnât a battle of the bands an unusual school event? Not for Bishop Guertin. The students love Guertin Live, and the teachers supported it, too. âI think itâs excellent,â English teacher Jill Stone said. âIâve been there before in years past, and I think itâs a great artistic outlet for the kids.â Of course, the competition did have rules as a school function.

Principal makes his mark at Campbell High School

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:58:46 EST

Robert Manseau has served as Campbell High Schoolâs principal for the last half-decade. But in about one month, his retirement will begin and Assistant Principal Laurie Rothhaus will take over as principal. Manseau has overseen what might be described as the âgolden ageâ of Campbell High. In the last five years, Campbell has seen five team state championships in athletics and was runner-up for the New Hampshire High School of the Year award, and just last year, Manseau was named the Charles A. Napoli Principal of the Year. In a way, these awards define Manseauâs legacy at Campbell. Anytime a student is nominated for or receives an award or scholarship, visitors to Campbellâs website can see a picture of Manseau and said student on the main page. âHe seems to have a thing for awards,â senior Chuck Neild said.

Rotary exchange program opens new horizons for HBHS senior

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:07 EST

One of the best choices people can make is to expand their world â their comfort zone, their horizons, their family. This school year, Iâm a Rotary youth exchange student, living with a host family in Ankara, Turkey. While my family has hosted several exchange students over the years, my own most inspiring experience was last year, when I had a Thai exchange âsister,â the beautiful and talented Mild. Through Mildâs eyes, I saw my world in an entirely new way. She taught me how to be open to other cultures, to embrace the world around me and to really let new experiences wash over me. I adored having a hosted sibling â Iâm an only child, so having a sister was new for me. Like any siblings, we had the occasional silly fight, but most of the time there were great new experiences to be shared. I learned so much about what itâs like to be a visitor â a stranger, 10,000 miles from everything familiar, looking in on and trying to become part of another culture. My favorite part was being able to share.

Spanish Club members read to children at Milford library

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:13 EST

For the last seven years or so, Milford High School Spanish Club members have volunteered to read storybooks and picture books in Spanish to young children in the Milford area. This activity takes place in the Childrenâs Room at the Wadleigh Memorial Library, traditionally on the Monday of April vacation. Although theyâre giving up some of their vacation time to do this, club members are always enthusiastic about being a part of this fun and interesting community service. âIt was enjoyable seeing children learn and interact, and it was enjoyable being part of their interactive learning experience,â said junior Bree Thomas, one of the Spanish Club members who participated. About seven years ago, the clubâs adviser, Dr. Carmen Gilbert, contacted the library and spoke to Miss Joan â a beloved librarian in the Childrenâs Room â about the possibility of such an activity. Joan agreed it was a wonderful idea, and thus began a partnership that has grown through the years. Both the library staff and the club members advertise the event to attract parents and their young children from all of the surrounding towns. The storybooks read during this 30- to 45-minute event belong to Gilbert, who brings them back from her native country, Panama, as well as from countries such as Spain and Costa Rica. Prior to sharing the books, the Spanish Club members make their selections and prepare to read them aloud to their young audience. With a great opportunity to expose young ones to a little bit of culture, the Spanish Club is proving that a little bit goes a long way. Mackenzie Garafano is a junior at Milford High School.

Overlapping test schedules bring stress to South students

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:20 EST

When you ask high school students what their least favorite month is, their answer will most likely be âMay.â May brings along many things: nice weather, prom and â unfortunately â testing. From last Monday to Friday, May 18, high school students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses will be tested on all theyâve learned throughout the year. AP exams have normally been held during the first two weeks of May, but this year, they began a week earlier. Many students are rejoicing over the extra week of study time, but juniors at Nashua High School South are feeling twice the stress, since the School District assigned May 8 and May 10 as state testing days. On Tuesday and Thursday, juniors at South and North took the New England Common Assessment Program science assessment. This created a scheduling conflict for juniors enrolled in AP classes with exams on those days. Juniors who missed a NECAP testing day will have to make it up after the AP exams are over. This scheduling only gave juniors another thing to worry about during an already stressful week. âIt took time away from studying for AP exams,â junior Aaron Wang said. Holding NECAP testing during AP testing weeks also affected seniors.

Souhegan seniorsâ stress creeping down to juniors

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:26 EST

As seniors finish up their senior project presentations, finish taking AP tests and confirm their postgraduation plans â finally getting a taste of true freedom â juniors at Souhegan High School are still slogging through difficult courses, beginning their junior research papers and starting to take an in-depth look at the college application process. This comparison calls forth the question: Is junior year more stressful than senior year? While itâs a question that canât be answered definitively, it certainly can be argued. Many seniors claim the process of applying to college and for scholarships and financial aid is a major stress factor that juniors donât experience. Juniors contend that while this is true, after seniors have applied to college or figured out their postgrad plans, things slow down a little bit, whereas juniors arenât cut any breaks until the end of the year. World literature teacher Adam Theriault said seniors have some sort of âa light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to,â while juniors âget to look forward to taking the SATs.â The outlook isnât all negative for juniors, though â the difficult course load and act of balancing academics, extracurriculars, and social and family life are things they must begin to experience now to better prepare themselves for managing time effectively throughout their lives. Junior Jonathan Gottwald said a significant component of the stress that juniors experience is âplanning for college and making big decisions,â something that many people would attribute to senior year. However, Gottwald is looking at big decisions in a larger context: in figuring out SAT and ACT dates and prep classes, as well as mapping out classes for senior year, juniors are making decisions that could affect their life plans â while theyâre trying to maintain good grades in current classes. Fellow junior Kelsey Mack said she has ânever felt this much stressâ and that juniors are given much more academic responsibility than previous years, which can be daunting for many students, especially in difficult courses. It seems this academic responsibility causes many students to set high standards for themselves â which, when looked at in terms of goals, provides some sort of tangible endpoint to work toward. However, for some students, such as Gottwald and fellow junior Jamie Taylor, high standards can lead to high amounts of stress â to the point where they both say they donât get enough sleep, which can sometimes lead to an inability to focus in class. Unfortunately, there isnât a direct solution to âjunior stress,â nor is there a direct answer to whether senior year is any easier. For now, juniors will just have to take a few deep breaths and buckle down until the end of the year â while understanding that time and stress management is as much of an art as it is a necessity â and the practice that they have now will only benefit them later in life. Hannah Dean is a junior at Souhegan High School in Amherst.

WLC students attend presentation by Vietnam veteran

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:32 EST

The studentsâ faces were staring up at a man who left his footstep in a turning point in American history that changed the way that U.S. citizens look at war today. In April, some members of the sophomore class at Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative High School experienced an eye-opening event. The students were given the opportunity to listen to and ask questions of a Vietnam War veteran named Paul, who has asked that his last name not be published. They heard about his daily routine as a soldier during the war and learned about how he felt while serving in Vietnam and about how he felt when he returned to the United States. English teacher Holly Gladsden invited Paul to speak to her classes and to English teacher Dolores Neilanâs classes. These classes were reading the Vietnam War novel âFallen Angelsâ by Walter Dean Myers. Sophomore Colton Salisbury said a memorable part of Paulâs story was when âhe was hit with a concussion grenade, and still to this day cannot fully turn his head to the left all the way.â Students who listened to Paulâs presentation also enjoyed his answering their questions so openly.

SMCA students put extra effort into âCyrano de Bergeracâ

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:38 EST

High school plays come and go, but few are undertaken with the vivacity that South Merrimack Christian Academy has thrown into its spring production of âCyrano de Bergerac.â With five impressive scene changes, a 25-person cast and costumes modeling 17th century France, the production is far bigger than any SMCA has previously shown. The play includes an exciting sword fight, a romantic moonlit balcony scene and a conclusion that will touch the heart of even the most impassive viewer. âCyrano de Bergeracâ is a classic story of fighting vanity, upholding oneâs honor and true love. It follows Cyranoâs undying love for the beautiful Roxane, and Roxaneâs fickle love for the handsome Christian. The difficulties in love that these characters face are furthered by the struggles presented by society in the form of the pompous Vicomte de Guiche and by military hardships in war between France and Spain. This fantastic heroic comedy will make an audience both laugh and weep as they come to love the memorable characters created by Edmond Rostand. As the last days of practices come to a close, the cast of âCyrano de Bergeracâ is working like never before. âI feel like I live here,â said Merry Bannister, a junior whoâs in the cast. Spending 10-12 hours a day at school has become normal, and the excitement about the production has been building throughout the school. For seniors Drew Morgan and Abby Melillo â who are playing Cyrano and Roxane â itâs a whirlwind ending to their high school careers. For director Andrew Doan, itâs the project he looks forward to each year. Doan has been the director of the SMCA speech department for four years and has directed numerous plays; however, he said, âThis is the biggest yet.â Performances will be at 7 p.m. May 17-19 at the Amato Center for the Performing Arts in Milford. Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students. Tickets can be purchased at SMCA, at smca.ticketleap.com/cyrano or at the door. For more information, call 880-6832. The cast and crew heartily invite all to attend one of the performances.

Fleeting, but memorable, experience for NCA student in Hungary

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:59:44 EST

It was a beautiful day as my classmate, Heidi Hutchinson, and I walked down Vaci Street. While the weather in Nashua had been rainy, here in Budapest, Hungary, it was perfect. The sun shone warmly on us as we strolled between souvenir shops and street cafes. I had a few forints left, and as we walked, I searched for something cheap enough to spend them on. Then something caught my eye. On the side of the road sat, or rather knelt, an old woman, her face almost touching the pavement. In front of her bowed head sat a disposable plastic cup. This was no foreign sight to me, but as we walked down this street with our American money and souvenirs, my heart filled with compassion for her.

Nashua, Hudson letter carriers participating in food drive Saturday

Wed, 09 May 2012 16:58:50 EST

Letter carriers in Nashua and Hudson â and in more than 10,000 cities and towns across the country â will help families who struggle with the impact of a sluggish economy by participating in the National Association of Letter Carriersâ 20th annual Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive on Saturday, May 12. Letter carriers will collect nonperishable food left by their customersâ mailboxes and in post offices and will distribute it to local food pantries on Sunday, May 13. Stamp Out Hunger is the largest one-day food drive, and it has yielded more than 1.1 billion pounds of food donations in the last 19 years. âSixteen percent of all Americans are at risk of hunger, uncertain where their next meal may be coming from,â said Bud Gorman, the Nashua coordinator of the drive. âThat includes 1 in 5 children under the age of 18, plus 4 million seniors who are forced every day to choose between paying a utility bill and buying food. âMany of our neighbors are still struggling with unemployment or underemployment, compounded by high food and gasoline prices. So, when you are out shopping, how about picking up an extra can or two of food? Save it and put it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 12. Your letter carrier will pick it up and make sure it gets to a local food bank.â The drive is held in late spring as food pantries run out of donations received during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

The submission deadline is Friday, May 25. The announcement will be made on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28. Black Dawg President Jack Child, an Air Force veteran, started Operation Stripes for Vets in 2011 to draw attention to the high unemployment rate for returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and as a way to say âthank Youâ for their service. The Goffstown-based company awarded its first franchise to Andrew Smith, of Pilot, Va., an Army Purple Heart recipient, on Memorial Day 2011. Yellow DAWG Striping fits his personal goals, Smith said. âBy working hard and investing my time and effort in my own business, it allows me to provide a more comfortable life for my family,â Smith said. âThe customers are great, and given the nature of the work, I can schedule my work, meet the needs of my customers and still have time for my family. âI have been impressed with Jack and the entire Yellow Dawg crew, and I give thanks every day for this opportunity.â Iraq and Afghanistan vets who are interested in winning a Yellow Dawg parking lot line-striping franchise can visit www.stripesforvets.com for the rules and submit a video on the Yellow Dawg Facebook page at www.facebook.com/yellowdawgstriping explaining why they should win the franchise. Veterans then have friends âlikeâ them on Facebook.

WORCESTER, Mass. â Holy Cross senior Eliza Gettel, of Merrimack, N.H., has received a Fulbright grant to pursue a Master of Arts in social archaeology at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom next year. Before starting the one-year postgraduate studies program, the classics major will travel to London for a three-day Fulbright orientation in September.

Hudson care centers celebrate fifth anniversary

Wed, 09 May 2012 15:59:45 EST

HUDSON â Southern New Hampshire Health System opened the doors of Primary Care of Hudson and Southern New Hampshire Rehabilitation Center at Hudson to patients and the community on April 30 five years ago. In a show of appreciation and thanks, patients visiting the office that day were greeted with festive balloons and mementos. When Primary Care opened in 2007, it began with two family practice physicians, laboratory and X-ray services, and physical and occupational therapy through the rehabilitation center. Today, the center has grown to five family practice providers and one behavioral health provider, added an occupational therapist specializing in hand therapy, and in November, opened Immediate Care of Southern New Hampshire for walk-in, non-emergency medical care. âItâs hard to believe itâs already been five years,â said Donna Madarese, manager of Primary Care, who has been with the practice since it opened. âThe growth of the practice and its services demonstrates our continued commitment to meeting the needs of the Hudson community.â Madarese noted some of the accomplishments of the primary care practice include home visits with families of newborns, a practice that Eleanor Bueno, MD, began two years ago. Melissa Duxbury, MD, and Robert Zinnes, MD, were nominated by their patients for the third year as Top Doc Readers Poll winners by New Hampshire Magazine.
