Making A Difference

By Liz Bulkley on Friday, March 30, 2007.

Tonight on the Front Porch – in honor of NHPR's Spring Membership Drive – we're hearing stories of people doing their part to make a difference. We'll travel to Africa to visit a school that helps underprivileged kids by teaching them magic. We'll head to New Orleans to experience the gratifying hard work of helping rebuild houses that were lost to Hurricane Katrina. We'll hear from folks who make it their mission to get drunk people home safely. And we'll find out what a Peanuts character has to do with helping premature babies.

All of tonights stories come to us from the Public Radio Exchange.

Wheat Free Market Now Includes Beer

By Sheryl Rich-Kern on Friday, March 30, 2007.

Consumers can walk down the aisles of any supermarket and easily find nut-free, dairy-free, and of course, fat-free products.

Now another specialty food is appearing on grocers' shelves: wheat-free products.

They are a god-send to the growing number of consumers who find they can't eat wheat, rye or barley.

NHPR Correspondent Sheryl Rich Kern has this report on the growing market and the response by one very large company in Merrimack.
