President Donald Trump has declared opioid abuse a national health emergency. But that’s not news to the people of New Hampshire where the death rate from addiction is twice the national average. That’s why President Trump chose Manchester, New Hampshire to deliver a speech about the national epidemic this week. We check-in on two groups affected by this crisis, who are often overlooked: the recovery community and first responders, many of whom are suffering from “compassion fatigue.” Plus, six months after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, we re-visit Connecticut’s efforts to help evacuees resettle in the state. President Trump Speaks in New Hampshire Director John Burns of SOS Recovery teaches a training on “compassion fatigue” in Dover.(Paige Sutherland/NHPR) NHPR’s Paige Sutherland reports on how first responders and those working in the recovery field in New Hampshire are dealing with the pressures of responding to drug overdoses in the state. It’s a phenomenon called “compassion fatigue,” and experts are working to provide resources to help groups deal with it. In President Trump’s New Hampshire speech, he focused on his administration’s efforts to curb the opioid epidemic. Trump also took the opportunity to call-out, once again, the MS-13 gang. The gang was started in California by immigrants from El Salvador, and Trump has mentioned them in the past to promote his immigration policies. WBUR’s Shannon Dooling reports how citizens of West Brookfield suspect the gang is taking hold of their small Massachusetts town after a family of four was murdered. Six Months After Hurricane Maria, Evacuees Remain in Connecticut Aura Alvarado helped run the relief center in Hartford. She says there’s still a need for services for hurricane evacuees.(Ryan Caron King/Connecticut Public Radio) In the six months since Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, hundreds of families from the island have found new homes in Connecticut. When they arrived in the state, many of these families were greeted by Hartford’s Hurricane Relief Center. Last week, the Relief Center closed. WNPR’s Ryan Caron King reports on how future evacuees will be able to find help without the aid of the city’s Relief Center. Meanwhile, nearly 1,800 Puerto Rican students have entered the Connecticut public school system. One Connecticut university has opened its doors to evacuees who wanted to take classes in the short term. WNPR’s Vanessa de la Torre reports that six months after the storm students are facing questions about their future. For more stories about Puerto Rico and Connecticut after Hurricane Maria, visit “The Island Next Door.” Whales versus…Lobsters? The North Atlantic right whale is an endangered animal, but last year the species suffered a record number of deaths due to fishing gear entanglements and ship strikes. MPR’s Fred Bever discusses how the lobster industry is posing a serious threat to the future of the North Atlantic right whale. Concerns Over Oversight as Vermont’s Agriculture Industry Grows As Vermont’s agriculture industry is growing, VPR’s John Dillon speaks with a local activist who is worried about lax state oversight over large-scale dairy farming. Will Dowd’s Areas of Fog The weather in New England never makes any sense. It’s a fact we’re reminded of after our fourth consecutive Nor’easter in less than eight weeks. In his book, Areas of Fog, poet Will Dowd begins each essay with a weather report. We speak with Dowd about his collection and discuss how New England residents’ beliefs and relationship with the weather have changed over the centuries. New England’s Town Meetings Zeb Towne, of Duxbury, is reportedly the only elected dogcatcher in the United States. Last week he was reelected without opposition. (Amy Kolb Noyes/VPR) Town meetings are often considered to be the pinnacle of old-school New England democracy, but in Amherst, Massachusetts, the merit of a town meeting is up for debate. NEPR’s Ben James spoke to residents about why the tradition is up for a vote next month and why some are passionate about saving it. Finally, during a break in one Vermont town meeting, VPR’s Amy Kolb Noyes introduces us to one of the only elected dogcatchers in the country. About NEXT NEXT is produced at WNPR.

My guest is Will Dowd. As unpredictable as its subject, Areas of Fog (https://www.amazon.com/Areas-Fog-Will-Dowd/dp/0997745533)combines wit and poetry with humor and erudition. A fun, breezy, and discursive read, it is an intellectual game that exposes the artificiality of genres. Will Dowd is a writer and artist based outside Boston. He earned an MFA in Creative Writing from New York University, as a Jacob K. Javits Fellowship; an MS from MIT, as a John Lyons Fellow; and a BA from Boston College, as a Presidential Scholar. Special Guest: Will Dowd.

David speaks with New Orleans-based author Clayton Delery about his new book, OUT FOR QUEER BLOOD: THE MURDER OF FERNANDO RIOS AND THE FAILURE OF NEW ORLEANS JUSTICE, and with poet and essayist Will Dowd about his latest collection, AREAS OF FOG. Originally aired on November 23rd 2017.

This is a special episode, for Will Dowd, checks in to talk about how he turned his Drunken Odyssey blog, Areas of Fog, into a book! We try to get to the bottom of our editorial relationship, the trick of bypassing or appeasing the gatekeepers among the editors of the literary world, and how the weather affects every aspect of life in New England. TEXTS DISCUSSED NOTES If you are at Miami Book Fair this weekend, stop by the Burrow Press booth!

New England is recovering this week after a big storm knocked out power for days in some places. How do we keep the power on today, and make our communities more resilient in the long term? We also ruminate lyrically on fickle New England weather with writer Will Dowd. A story from Texas puts the idea of “sanctuary hospitals” in the spotlight. How are New England’s hospitals responding? And, our friends from Brave Little State separate myth from fact when it comes to the Underground Railroad in Vermont. Workers in Stowe, Vermont tend to damage from a fallen tree Tuesday. Photo by Amy Kolb Noyes for VPR Hard Rains In late October, 2011 there were still multi-colored leaves clinging to New England's trees when a freak Nor'easter hit, dumping record snow, snapping trees, and cutting off power to millions. One year later, Super Storm Sandy battered the shoreline and caused tens of billions of dollars in damage. And then this week, a prolonged rainstorm, with winds up to 70 miles an hour, knocked out power for days in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, with more than 400,000 outages in Maine. Damage to Route 302 in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. Photo by Chris Jensen Our first guest is David Littell, principal with the Regulatory Assistance Project, based in Montpelier, Vermont, and a former commissioner with the Maine Public Utilities Commission. Littell has been looking at the response from utility companies. With climate change bringing more frequent, bigger storms to our region, how do we plan for these new weather realities? We’re joined by Alexander Felson, an urban ecologist, architect and assistant professor at Yale University; and David Kooris, Director of the National Disaster Resilience program for the State of Connecticut. Shelter from the Storm For immigrants in the country illegally, the fear of running into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents has made some public places appear threatening. In the current environment, that can include a visit to the emergency room. A recent opinion piece in the Journal of the American Medical Association called for the establishment of so-called ‘sanctuary hospital’ policies. But some New England health care providers say they only have so much power. WBUR reporter Shannon Dooling has our story. In Brandon, Vt., the 1853 Marsh House mansion is rumored to have had a tunnel entrance in its basement. The owner of the house, Rodney Marsh, was a high-profile abolitionist in Vermont, but there’s no hard evidence of Underground Railroad activity at this site. Photo by Angela Evancie for VPR Historian Ray Zirbllis conducted an exhaustive study of Underground Railroad activity in Vermont. He found hard evidence of activity at the 25 sites marked on this map. Courtesy Vermont Division for Historic Preservation The idea of providing “sanctuary” is part of the New England mindset. Yankees are proud of New Englanders’ participation in the Underground Railroad, providing aid and shelter to runaway slaves en route to Canada. But like a lot of history we think we know, there are parts of the story that turn out to be a bit more complicated. Vermonter Carlie Krolick wanted to know more, so she asked Vermont Public radio’s people-powered podcast Brave Little State.  “Was there an Underground Railroad in Vermont? What do we know about the existence of a system to help slaves escape toward Canada? And were escaped slaves able to settle and live here openly?” – Carlie Krolick, Charlotte, Vt. Host Angela Evancie went in search of answers. Weather We Like it or Not The nights were cold this week, and so were the days; the sun, when it appeared, flashed like a coin at the bottom of a well, and the rain fell whenever it felt like it. It was really and truly November, though I couldn’t quite accept it. Those lines open the essay “Paper Allegories” in a new collection of essays by Boston area writer William Dowd, entitled Areas of Fog. Dowd wrote the collection over the course of a year in the tradition of Thoreau’s . Each essay opens with a weather report. Many pay homage to great New England writers like Thoreau, Frost, and Dickinson – writers who helped shape our spiritual understanding of a region where the weather can feel like the work of a fickle god.Walden Areas of Fog is out on November 14 from Etruscan Press. Will Dowd will be reading and signing books at the Thayer Public Library in Braintree, Mass., on November 30, and at the Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst, Mass. on Dec 7.
