A production crew begun work at Columbus Park in Fall River on August 10, 2006, on a half-hour video to help youth look at their own health from a life-long perspective. "Adolescence is a critical time for health," commented Dr. David Weed, coordinator of the Healthy City project and author of the script. "It is a time when attitudes about eating and exercise are often adopted for life. It is also a time when many people discover the addictive properties of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs and struggle with attempts at cessation for the first time. Most of the chronic health problems that adults experience in Fall River, such as heart disease and diabetes, have their origins in behaviors acquired in youth." The video is being produced entirely with students from Fall River Educational Television (FRED-TV) located at B.M.C. Durfee High School by Partners for a Healthier Community for the Healthy City initiative. "The entire production is being made in Fall River with local talent," commented Pauline McGrath, Executive Producer and Instructor at FRED-TV. "The finished production will connect with many familiar places," she said. Rene Kochman, Director of Media Technology for FRED-TV who will oversee the production. The project is being funded by linkage funds from Southcoast Hospitals that the Department of Public Health awards to Partners for a Healthier Community each year. Local business, including Dunkin' Donuts and D'Angelos, donated food for the crew for their first day of filming. The production is scheduled for its first airing at the Healthy City Fall River spring celebration event in April, 2007.
