Below is the article from the Union Leader January 30th edition. Jonathan Lanteigne helps others who have faced battles he knows well By Kathy Remillard, Union Leader Correspondent Twenty-six-year-old Jonathan Lanteigne has turned what some would consider a devastating situation into a personal mission to help others. Lanteigne suffered brain damage after a childhood virus and has spent much of his life helping others with brain injuries get the help and services they need. Despite his brain injury, Lanteigne graduated from high school and went on to earn his bachelor of science in computer information systems through UNH Manchester. He's been employed for the past nine years as an Easy Tech at Staples in Bedford. But perhaps Lanteigne's most important contribution is his work for the Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire. Lanteigne has had an advice column in the organization's newsletter since 2002. "Ask Jon" is read by many and helps those with brain injuries secure benefits, education and accommodations, and gives practical advice on what it means to be a brain injury survivor. Lanteigne was recently nominated to sit on the BIANH board. As someone who shares the same experience as those he helps, Lanteigne is able to understand the challenges those with a brain injury have to face. For many, a brain injury doesn't have any outward signs. "That can be troublesome at times," Lanteigne said. Because Lanteigne suffers from short-term memory loss as a result of his injury, he keeps a "reminder binder" of sorts at work with him that assists him with his job duties. He successfully fought to keep it when a new manager at Staples questioned it, but it's just one of the challenges Lanteigne regularly faces. Still, Lanteigne remains steadfast in his goal of helping others. "You have to make use of services that are available," Lanteigne said. "You have to accept your brain injury and find out ways you can help others." Carl Lanteigne, Jon's father, said it's been a long road for his son, but that he has been willing to share both his successes and failures with everyone he meets. "It's a matter of knowing what tools you need to succeed, and not be afraid to use them," he said. Out with the old, in with the New, Simple, Fast!

Continue reading about Hassan's announcement » MCC Delivers "Wish List" Items to MST Students News At a recent Advisory Board meeting for the Manchester School of Technology's Advanced Manufacturing program, Manchester Community College's Vice President for Students Kim Keegan suggested that MST post a "wish list" of items at every school function. The list included 50 4GB USB drives for the students in Dan Cassidy’s Advanced Manufacturing classes. "Dan's students didn't have an affordable way to store their computer-generated work and make a portable portfolio to show potential employers," says MCC's Keegan. Now they do. Keegan worked with MCC's Director of IT Naim Syed and the college has now provided 50 credit-card sized USB drives that include the logos from both MST and MCC. Veterans Gather at College with the Same Goal: To Find Employment News MANCHESTER— Steve Hanson stood out among the many veterans looking for work at the Veterans and Military Service Member Job Fair at Manchester Community College Thursday. Hanson looked comfortable in his dark suit, white shirt and conservative tie, and he had neatly trimmed hair and an air of confidence as he wandered strategically along the aisles of the job fair. Hanson, who lives in Nashua, spent 21 years in the U.S. Navy in the submarine force and then joined the work force. Thursday, he was looking for a senior position as a program or business development manager, similar to a position he held for 4-1/2 years in Merrimack before his job was eliminated and he was laid off Aug. 9. “I’ve got two or three leads for jobs,” Hanson said as he went from table to table looking for a company that might offer a good fit. “This is a much better show than a couple of the private ones I went to in Boston.” Hanson and others filled the cafeteria of the college where 40 companies from high tech to insurance, state and federal agencies, police and other emergency responders, and colleges gathered. Some of the veterans wore suits, but many more dressed casually, which was helpful in a building whose air conditioning was knocked out during the October snowstorm. U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta sponsored the fair and said the event was “the least we can do for our returning vets who preserve our freedom and liberties.” He said the fair was a “wonderful opportunity for veterans and their families to find a job.” And Guinta praised the 40 participants who signed up “almost immediately” saying they were ready to hire. Traveling the state, he said, he still hears from many who are unemployed or underemployed. “Hopefully people will leave here today with job opportunities in their hands,” Guinta said. Brian Gordan of Chester served in the Army National Guard public relations unit. Before he was deployed to the Middle East, he was offered his old job back after he had been laid off and hired as a part-time contractor. The job was no longer there when he returned, and he has been unemployed since his deployment ended. “I’m a manufacturing guy,” Gordan said Thursday, but he was also exploring courses at New England College to improve his writing skills. “I’ve got some really good leads for some manufacturing jobs,” he said. Gordan hadn’t yet talked to the representatives at EFI, a company that manufactures large format printers, with a facility in Meredith. “We have 300 employees,” said Wendy Lague, talent acquisition manager. “We’ve got jobs.” Several veterans were at the fair to explore educational opportunities. Delina Bickford of Wolfeboro served in the Navy for three years and is currently a freshman nursing student at Manchester Community College. She wants to continue her education and receive a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She was talking to several college representatives exploring her options. Another Manchester Community College student, Ryan Ladd of Manchester, explored his options for a law enforcement position. Ladd spent four years in the Army and wants to “move forward and better myself.” Noah Fallon of Allenstown, a business administration and small business management student at Southern New Hampshire University, had a couple of leads. He was talking to representatives from Turbocam International, a Barrington-based manufacturing company. “Everybody here is very military friendly and that is nice,” said Fallon, a former Marine. However, Jerry Pageau of Merrimack, a Vietnam veteran and sometime consultant, found the job fair frustrating because some of the companies were offering jobs out-of-state but not in New Hampshire. “So many vets are going to be coming here, but there aren’t 150 manufacturing jobs here,” he said. “It’s very frustrating. There are 25 million out of work.” Pageau moved to New Hampshire form Florida where he worked as a ground penetrating radar expert, training he received in the Navy and through the GI bill, but has been unable to find steady work in the Northeast. His brother-in-law, Gary Gahan of Merrimack, had a different experience at the fair. Gahan is semi-retired and looking for something different to do to be productive. “There are IT jobs here that are way over my head,” said the former Marine who served in Vietnam. “I’m lucky if I can turn on my iPhone and iPad and make them work.” But he noted there were some very interesting positions being offered at the fair, “depending on your skill set.” Deadline Extended for Nursing Program Applications News The deadline for applying to the Nursing Program at MCC has been extended to February 1, 2012. Students seeking admission into the Nursing Program must have all documents postmarked no later than February 1, 2012 to be eligible for admission into the Fall 2012 Nursing program. There is no early action or early decision deadline. "Many applicants voiced their concern that transcripts from courses taken at other institutions may not be available for submission by the original deadline of January 1," said Jacqueline Poirier, the MCC admissions counselor who works most closely with nursing applicants. "Acceptance into the Nursing Program is so competitive that we want to be sure that everyone has an opportunity to put their best foot forward." Interested in the MCC Nursing Program?
