Future Of NH’s Medicaid Expansion Uncertain
CONCORD, NH (AP) – The New Hampshire House has voted to send a bill that would reauthorize the state’s version of Medicaid expansion for further study, giving it an uncertain future.
This bill would have reauthorized the New Hampshire Health Protection Program, the state’s program that provides health insurance coverage for over 50,000 low-income adults who do not qualify for Medicaid. If not reauthorized, the program will end on Dec. 31.
The House on Thursday agreed with a committee recommendation that more work is required to create a program that taxpayers can support. A commission studying the future of New Hampshire’s expanded Medicaid program recommended last year it continue for five years, but move toward a fully managed care model in 2019.
The commission said switching to managed care would provide more straight-forward opportunities to address premium increases in the individual market and consistent benefits for all Medicaid participants.
White Mountain National Forest Taking Artist In Residence Applications
Campton, NH – February 7, 2018 The White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) and Arts Alliance of Northern NH invite interested artists in all media to apply for the 2018 WMNF artist in residency program, a celebration of the connections between forest, landscape and culture. The deadline for applications is March 20, 2018.
The program offers professional and emerging artists in all disciplines from around the country — visual and performing artists, craftspeople, writers, composers, eco artists and media artists — an opportunity to pursue their particular art form while being inspired by the surrounding forest and, on several occasions, sharing their work and their artistic process with members of the public. The goal of the residency program is to use art and creative expression to explore the many ways in which people relate to forests — and to the White Mountain National Forest in particular. This year’s artist in residence will be part of the 2018 celebration of the Forest’s Centennial.
One artist residency of at least three weeks will be offered between mid-July and September. The artist will be provided accommodations on or near the forest as well as limited reimbursement of travel expenses and the cost of supplies and materials. Friends of Mead Base have provided housing to several artists in the past. Public programs may include demonstrations, talks, exploratory walks or hikes, or performances, based on the medium, interest and experience of the artist.
“All of our selected artists so far have really connected with the forest – as well as with the local community and with Forest Service personnel,” says Frumie Selchen, Executive Director of the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, a nonprofit working to promote, support and sustain cultural life throughout northern New Hampshire.
Clare Mendelsohn, WMNF Forest Supervisor commented, “There’s a sense of expectation and excitement about each new artist, and the ways in which he or she will help us see and understand our landscape, and the incredible resources the forest offers. This year’s Centennial celebration makes the opportunities even more exciting.”

World Pro Ski Tour Kicking Off In NH
WATERVILLE VALLEY, N.H. (AP) — The World Pro Ski Tour is getting ready to kick off its 2018 winter season.
The first event will be Friday and Saturday at Waterville Valley Resort in New Hampshire, followed by events in March in Aspen, Colorado, and at Sunday River ski resort in Newry, Maine.
All three events will be televised on CBS.
The World Pro Ski Tour relaunched last year with a single event at Sunday River.
It served for decades as the only made-for-TV ski racing event with cash prizes and national sponsors. Ed Rogers created the style of competition in which skiers race against each other instead of individuals racing against the clock.

Bill To Tighten Animal Cruelty Laws Follows Great Danes Case

CONCORD, NH (AP)- Supporters of a bill aimed at preventing animal cruelty and sparing towns from spending a fortune on seized animals say it will protect both animals and taxpayers. But opponents worry it will harm hobby breeders and violate defendants’ rights to due process.
Republican Sen. Jeb Bradley sponsored the bill after a breeder in his hometown of Wolfeboro was accused of keeping dozens of Great Danes in filthy conditions last year. Among other things, it would allow a judge to determine the reasonable cost for caring for seized animals. If a defendant doesn’t pay, the animals can be adopted rather than being held as evidence.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire opposed that provision, saying it would allow animals to be forfeited without any finding that animal cruelty has occurred.
