Heating Assistance
Staying warm this winter will be an expensive proposition in New Hampshire and elsewhere in New England. Fuel prices have soared by 50-percent since last winter, and the increased costs are forcing many residents to seek help. Federal funding for fuel assistance is still being worked out but state legislators say we can't wait. As Outlook's Richard Ager reports New Hampshire lawmakers have stepped in to make sure the neediest can heat their homes.
For information on steps to take to reduce heating costs and how you can apply for assitance head to the
NH Office of Energy and Planning website.

Financial Advice
With folks bracing for higher fuel costs this winter, the financial crisis on Wall Street could not have come at a worse time. Investors are understandably anxious as they watch their hard-earned assets shrink. Many are fleeing stocks in droves rather than face further losses. But, is that wise? NH Outlook's Beth Carroll spoke to Certified Financial Planner Faye Doria for some financial advice during this market turmoil.

Primary DVD Project
This school year New Hampshire 8th graders are getting a lesson in politics from their peers. A recent change in the state's education policy requires them to study the state's First in the Nation Presidential Primary. They'll learn all about it from a DVD produced by middle and high school students from Londonderry. We first checked in with the group last fall and have an update now that the project is completed.
