The Portsmouth High School Principal said the first school activity involving random breath test was a huge success. Seventy-one students took the test and all came back negative…
The Principal said of the 715 kids at the dance all were happy to cooperate with the new policy.
On the way in to the dance students choose a golf ball from a bag… if it was a red ball the student was asked to take the random test… Those kids were then entered into a drawing to win gift certificates to area restaurants.
The school committee voted last week to allow random breath tests at school dances.

Daniel Okrent's new book on the history of Prohibition, "Last Call," is chockablock with fascinating anectodes and factoids about American's dalliance as a dry nation, but also points to some useful parallels to contemporary debates on drug policy.
"Okrent estimates that drinking declined by about 30 percent in the early years of Prohibition, but eventually Americans seemed to drink much more as alcohol became an underground industry," writes book reviewer Alexander Nazaryan in the May 17 issue of the Christian Science Monitor. "Obviously, it could not last. Opponents of the War on Drugs will recognize the frustrating hallmarks: misspent money and wasted manpower, a legal system choked by petty cases."
The book is published by Simon & Schuster and available for $17.55 at Amazon.com.

A health center between Canaan and Enfield serving 5 towns and anyone else
Owned and operated by local patients from the community
Open 6 days a week and with evening hours
Health, urgent care, dental, pharmacy, lab and mental health
Affordable - Takes any insurance and self payments
Comprehensive, in-depth care with professionals who listen
Local control

What's happening?
Pledging will continue. We need to increase pledges from low to moderate income families. Generally a low to moderate income family of 2 would have income of no more than $38,000 a year and a low income family of 4 would have income of no more than $48,000 a year. A low to moderate single person would have income of less than $33,000. If you know people that might fall within those income levels, encourage them to pledge to try us.
On the organizational end, Mascoma Community Healthcare has adopted Articles of Association and Bylaws. The papers have been filed by local incorporators to register the corporation and trade name. By the end of April, the corporation had held two meetings and elected a Board of Directors, a Chairman of the Board and a Secretary. Dale Barney is Chairman of the Board and Alice Schori is Board Secretary. In addition, the board had selected the lot at the corner of Roberts Road and US Route 4 as the site of the new clinic.
The Board is listed below:
- Carolyn Barney, Canaan
- Dale Barney, Ex-Officio, Canaan
- Dave Beaufait, Ex-Officio, Enfield
- Scott Berry, Ex-Officio, Canaan
- Barbara Birdsey, Canaan
- Virginia Carroll, Dorchester
- Barry Clause, Enfield
- Barbara Dolyak, Canaan
- John Dow, Canaan
- Karen Ewer Gray, Canaan
- Colin Higbie, Orange
- Meryl Kenyon, Grafton
- Gili Lushkov, Canaan
- Ed McGee, Ex-Officio, Canaan
- Sean Murphy, Canaan
- Michael Paine, Ex-Officio, Canaan
- Mary Paquette, Canaan
- Mike Samson, Ex-Officio, Canaan
- Alice Schori, Ex-Officio, Canaan
- Peter Thurber, Canaan
- Linda Von Reyn, Canaan
The Board is still looking for interested people to serve from Enfield.
There are seven committees working to implement the clinic. They include:
- Building
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Equipment
- Finance
- Fundraising
- Staffing
These committees have Board Members on them, but they are open to members of the community to join. Much of the work of these committees needs to be completed this summer. We need the help of anyone who is interested.

Dad Abducts Son Over ADHD Medication
He's been caught, but says he has no regrets.
An Arizona man said he took his son to hide in Florida for three months because he didn't want him to take ADHD medicine.
Jim Kaiser is currently in a custody dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Shelly Griffin, who says their 9-year-old son, Ben, needs the ADHD meds. A judge gave Griffin sole custody when Kaiser refused to go along.
"These drugs in my opinion are child abuse. It's insane to take a perfectly normal kid and wipe him out with drugs just so he can sit still in school," Kaiser tells KPHO.
Kaiser was caught in Florida when he was pulled over for speeding. He is now facing felony charges of custodial interference, and he's not allowed to speak with Ben.
Do you think Kaiser should lose custody ... or should he have the right to withhold ADHD drugs from his son if he doesn't believe in the diagnosis?
I think a father has just as much right as a mother to decide what is best for his child. Way too many kids are put on medicine today who really don't need it.
While there are some kids who really do not need meds for ADHD, clearly there are some who do! Was the father involved in th diagnosis and treatment, or did he just decide he knew more than the doctor's did?
Some kids can control the issues associated with ADHD and some cannot and need meds to be able to stop their minds from wandering and be able to absorb their lessons.
There are alot of meds that don't put kids into the kind of state he refers to, so maybe a little cooperation with doctors and teachers is needed..rather than parental kidnapping.
More discussion is necessary here.
I think that if he disagreed with it, he went about it the wrong way. He should've went to his divorce attorney and figured out how to go about halting the medication legally. I believe that if he did so, it would come to light whether or not the child actually has a legitimate need for the medication - something none of us can judge because we don't know the child, his symptoms, or his situation.
Thanks for posting this.
I'm Jim Kaiser, the father in this story and I'd like to reply to the comments here.
To Chris - Thank you. I obviously agree 100% with your comments.
To ADHD mother - No, I wasn't involved in the diagnosis, but it wasn't from a lack of trying. The court ordered that both parents be involved but Shelly did everything she could to keep me out of the loop.
When I was finally able to speak with the doctor (6 months into the treatment), he immediately stopped the prescription and insisted that both of us attend future appointments together.
Shelly then continued to drug Ben with amphetamines without a prescription and without being under a doctor's supervision. This went on for a couple of months.
Then she went out and found a new doctor, didn't involve me in it as she was court ordered to do, and got a new prescription.
She knows that no doctor, after speaking with me, would ever give a prescription for these drugs because I was able to show that with some simple lifestyle changes, that these ADHD type of symptoms were totally non-existant.
My son was being destroyed mentally, physically, and emotionally with these drugs, and I made the only choice I could to stop the abuse.
It wasn't an easy choice - it was the last thing I wanted to do - but I HAD to do it.
To Anonymous - You are correct and I did exactly as you said. I fought this in court for 2 1/2 years before taking matters into my own hands.
I had a judge who had never met my son, and who had refused to even interview him, who was hell-bent on seeing him drugged.
He kept ordering me to drug him - I stood my ground and kept telling him NO!
He warned me that if I refused, that he would take away all my custody and parenting time.
I still refused.
Taking my son and running away with him to protect him was my "plan B". It wasn't something I wanted to do and something I did everything in my power to avoid.
But, the family court system pushed things to the point where it was the ONLY option I had left to protect my son.
How far would YOU go to protect your children from abuse?
TO Everyone - Thanks again for your interest in this story. If there's anything I can clarify here or any other details you'd like to know, please feel free to ask.
Thank you! You often write very interesting articles. You improved my mood.
I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.
I added your blog to bookmarks. And i'll read your articles more often!
Valuable thoughts and advices. I read your topic with great interest.
Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?
I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.
Thank you! You often write very interesting articles. You improved my mood.
Its his child too he has just as much rights as the boys mother
I'm not going to write as long as a reply as I would like, but I want to say without a doubt, I am 100% on Jim's side with this.
I know for a fact he is a wonderful father and I saw how much and often he taught Ben life lessons and was often marveling at the ideas and ways of teaching that he used.
He and Ben were like "Jim and Mini Me".
I would do the SAME thing for my child when it comes to those mind altering drugs. I fight every year with my sons' school to NOT medicate him.
I refuse to do it and will forever refuse.
Ben's mom clearly is not educated on how and why these drugs are used. She and the teachers just 'want the kid to be quiet and to be still'.
I applaud you Jim.

A Michigan judge has adjourned a hearing on a lawsuit filed by Detroit pension funds trying to keep city retirees' payments from being cut during bankruptcy proceedings.Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina on Monday said she will hear arguments in her Lansing courtroom in a week.The state asked Monday to move the case to federal court.Aquilina says she doesn't want to "pre-judge" the motion, but sees the case as a state issue because the Michigan Constitution protects pension benefits and Michigan's emergency manager law is in play. The judge last week ordered Gov. Rick Snyder to withdraw the bankruptcy petition.Her decision was appealed to the state appeals court.

There is no glamour but the time of purity passes never to be forgotten. After his previous film The Matsugane Potshot Affair, Nobuhiro Yamashita comes back with a peaceful and warm film. Based on the comics by Kuramochi Husako, the film captures the pure sentiment of children and their maturity that cannot be seen in the city. Beautifully shot summer days deliver its heat to viewers while the director induces sympathy naturall..

U.S. Broadband: Too Expensive, Too Slow, Too Monopolized
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Internet is as essential to the modern economy as roads, railroads, and shipping ports are. Since you're reading this, you probably don't doubt that.
Unfortunately, U.S. broadband, as much of an improvement as it was over dial-up access, is laughably slow compared to other countries. Try bragging about how fast your connection is to someone from South Korea, Japan or Sweden. They will actually laugh at you.
Yahoo Finance recently posted a fascinating interview with David Cay Johnston, author of The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use "Plain English" to Rob You Blind.
Johnston highlights the difference between the "triple play" packages that include phone, Internet and TV service between the U.S. and France. The American package costs $160 from companies like Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA). The French package costs only $38 and is not only cheaper, but is faster and even better, with TV channels from around the world.
The telcos pocketed $360 billion in fees that were intended to build up fiber networks, but instead they used it for other purposes. Johnston believes they used it to build up their mobile networks at the expense of their terrestrial networks.
You could argue that the telcos had valid reasons for doing so. It's expensive and time-consuming to dig up people's streets. First, they have to get permits to dig. Then they have to get the equipment in, then they have to make sure they don't hit the gas line. Finally, they can lay down the cables and put the dirt the dug up back on top of it, then repave the street. This is why telcos often have a "natural monopoly" on the actual wires that go from your town into your house.
This focus on mobile, even though it's made life more convenient for users, is rather misguided. The wireless networks ultimately connect to wired broadband infrastructure, or at least what passes for broadband in America.
In an ideal world, the telcos would make the necessary investments based on their own self-interests -- the growth of smartphones, constantly pushing massive amounts of data onto their networks and choking them. But with profits last year of $4.1 billion for Comcast, $2.4 billion for Verizon, $3.9 billion for AT&T (NYSE: T), $1.6 billion for Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) and $573 million for CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL), they probably don't see a need to fix what's not broken (at least for investors).
What ultimately needs to happen is the dreaded "R word": regulation. If the state of affairs makes you angry, you should get in touch with your Congress critters, and demand that they hold hearings into how they are building their networks. The reason AT&T was broken up in the '80s was so that customers would get better service for less money. If you've looked at your phone or cable bill recently, it's obvious that that's not happening. Perhaps it would be better to look at telecommunications networks the same way U.S. law looks at the airwaves: as belonging to the citizens, leased out to companies to run as a public benefit.

Police in Attica, in Seneca County, are investigating the death of a baby girl.
The village's police chief says his officers were called to a home at 21 East High Street at 9:50 this morning.
They found the body of 5 month-old Emelia Carter.
Police are now awaiting the results of an autopsy to be performed by the Lucas County Coroner's Office.
The chief is calling it a "death investigation" at this point and says the girl was in her mother's care.
But he could not release any further details.

Traffic lights along major suburban roads will be synchronized to improve the flow of vehicles during peak travel times, Mayor Jerry Abramson and Congressman John Yarmuth announced today.
The $7 million project will synch the lights along Shelbyville Road, Preston Highway, Dixie Highway and Hurstbourne Lane — some of the most heavily travelled suburban roads during morning and afternoon rush hours.
The city is using $1.5 million in federal stimulus from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to kick-start the project, which includes installing software and hardware so the lights can communicate with the city's Public Works Department.
"This is a major step toward making our suburban roads and stoplights as efficient as the downtown traffic network," Abramson said. "By controlling the traffic lights, we encourage vehicles to move more smoothly – and it also reduces idling time, which improves the city's air."
Yarmuth said using the stimulus dollars for the project will have a long-term positive impact on the city.
"This is another example of Federal funding from the Recovery Act making a difference right here in Louisville," Yarmuth said. "The average Louisvillian loses $750 per year and one week of their time due to congestion. By eliminating traffic delays, this project will save Louisville businesses time and money while also improving the quality of life for families travelling our roads."
The project will take two years to complete and is being funded with a variety of federal, state and local dollars. Shelbyville Road and Dixie Highway will be completed first, followed by Preston and Hurstbourne.
The new communications network will allow Public Works to monitor traffic along the suburban corridors and react immediately to traffic patterns. The city currently has the capability to do that for downtown roads, but not suburban ones. Approximately 350 suburban signals will be added to the city's computer system.
Traffic synchronization is one reason that downtown Louisville's traffic moves efficiently, even at rush hours and even with 60,000 workers leaving or entering the city center at roughly the same time.

HIV Antibody Testing
The SHC offers two types of confidential testing for HIV antibody: an in-office rapid blood test (finger prick) with results in ten minutes, or a blood sample sent to an outside commercial lab. If you opt for testing at the SHC you will:
- Be asked to make an appointment
- Be interviewed about possible risk factors for HIV such as: sexual behaviors, drug use, tattoos, blood transfusions before 1985 or other possible blood exposures.
- Be counseled about test options, test procedures, the meaning of the test results and safer sex practices.
The cost of the testing is currently $20 for the rapid test and $20 (self-pay cost) if the sample is sent to the lab. Many insurance companies now cover the cost of "screening testing" for HIV and other STDs. Contact your insurance company. If they cover screening testing, you can opt to have the commercial lab submit a bill to your insurance company.
Note that as of September 1, 2010 New York State requires that an HIV antibody test be offered at least once to all individuals between the ages of 13 and 64 in certain health care settings, including settings that offer primary care such as college health centers. Every student who comes to the SHC will be offered an HIV antibody test, on at least one occasion, regardless of the reason for the visit. The testing is completely voluntary.

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
The last huzzah?
So this is the end. The last post for this blog.
It's a good thing we've said our farewells, because this is also the last day for new comments.
Today, this site freezes in time. You can always revisit it for a little nostalgia, like that old amusement park in the creepy part of town, with all the chains and cobwebs.
Former presidential candidate Herman Cain was fond of telling his supporters, "Stupid people are ruining America!"
Well, maybe that's true, Herman, but stupid people also provide cheap entertainment, which is a useful service. We should thank them for it, without using any big words.
The best goofy but true stories from 2011
As I said recently in a post which began a countdown to tomorrow's final entry in this blog, one of the things I have enjoyed most is presenting stories that are goofy but true.
Sure, it's fun to make up funny stuff and riff on news photos, but real life often finds a way to top me.
You've got till tomorrow to pay up, pal…
Blog Guy, I know you're following the New Hampshire primary closely for your readers. All state primaries follow pretty much the same format, right?
Not at all. The New Hampshire race mainly involves a series of physical challenges between hopefuls and local voters. The one who wins the most fights wins the primary.
The stuff dream photos are made of…
Hey, Blog Guy, I'm here! Do you recognize me?
I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?
No, you dimwit. This isn't "A Christmas Carol." I'm the guy who sets up all those great fantasy photos for your readers, so I'm sorry to see it's going away.
Well, thanks for all your good work. You've pulled off pictures I would have thought impossible, especially the ones involving world leaders.
Seinfeld, a show about bupkis…
Blog Guy, you have the most authoritative entertainment news anywhere, so I'm coming to you first about something I heard.
There's a rumor that my all-time favorite sitcom, "Seinfeld," is coming back to TV next season. Any chance it's true?
Yule laugh, yule cry…
Blog Guy, what do you think is the biggest holiday for your blog?
Christmas, for sure. We celebrate it for most of the year. Not only that, we're able to appreciate BOTH holidays.
You mean the religious Christmas and commercial Christmas?
No, I mean the magical goosebump childhood excitement Christmas, and the darkly absurd, "Look, somebody shot at Santa's helicopter!" Christmas.
Nine ways to lose weight and live forever
People say to me all the time, "Bob, your blog is SO stupid, how do you get people to read it?"
These folks don't understand how online journalism works. You can write anything you want, and if you put a good headline on it people will read it. Especially if you hint at immortality, easy weight loss or better sex.
He's making a list, and Czeching it twice…
Blog Guy, I need to tap your background in psychology. I can't get my husband to enjoy the Christmas holidays. When he sees festive decorations he just breaks down and sobs.
Hmmmm. Did he by any chance grow up in Prague?
Why yes, he spent his childhood there!
I thought as much. Have a look at these photos from Prague, where revelers dressed as Saint Nicholas and a devil approach small children on the street and demand to know if they've been good or bad. It's enough to warp any child for life.
Will you be taking those grenades all the way to Belgium?
Sometimes I just don't understand stuff, so maybe you can help me with this exercise in logic.
The security folks at Newark's airport were X-raying checked baggage a few days ago when they found five hand grenades in a woman's luggage. Yes, five.
Sorry, you're not my type…
Hey Blog Guy, it's me!
Me! The guy who talks to you in italics so you can carry on pretend conversations in your blog everyday.
You really EXIST? I always thought those conversations were just voices in my head.

Pricing Power Play
Michael is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The most defensive companies in the world can raise prices without losing customers. This pricing power gives these companies an edge over their competitors during times of rising commodity prices. Pricing power is the key to financial strength and longevity in the marketplace.
Companies like The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) and J.M. Smucker (NYSE: SJM) can raise prices if input costs go up, but don't risk losing much market share because of strong customer loyalty.
These stocks tend to do well even during recessions because consumers believe they can't live without Hershey's candy or Smucker's peanut butter and jelly. Dividends from these two consumer staples companies yield 2.1 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively. They also carry low betas, meaning low stock price volatility, providing stability to the investor who hates wild swings in their investments.
Hershey raised prices 2.3 percent in the fourth-quarter, which contributed to its 11.7 percent increase in its fourth quarter net sales of $1.75 billion. Hershey's sales gain also came from 7 percent higher volume, 2 percent contribution from Brookside acquisition and a 0.7 percent foreign currency benefit. Earnings rose 6.4 percent in the quarter to $0.66 per share. With strong pricing power and momentum for 2013, management raised its 2013 earnings growth to 10-12 percent from 8-10 percent.
Hershey will benefit from the price of cocoa falling 8 percent from a year ago and down 19 percent from its peak in September. Hershey's margin is likely to expand resulting in higher earnings in 2013. Argus Research recently raised its target price by $10 to $92 per share. Its beta is 0.59, which is way below the market of 1.00.
Hershey candy bars are still cheap, selling for around $1.50. I believe Hershey could raise prices another 25 percent and still sell plenty of chocolate bars and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Smucker had raised prices on many of its products in 2011-12 because of inflation in commodities, but coffee prices fell substantially in 2012. Arabica coffee fell 32 percent in past 12 months. Smucker recently announced plans to cut coffee prices 6 percent due to declines in green coffee bean costs. Smucker decreased the list price for the majority of its packaged coffee products sold in the United States, primarily consisting of items sold under the Folgers and Dunkin' Donuts brand names.
Smucker reported Feb. 15 that fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 32 percent to $154.2 million, or $1.42 per share, from $116.8 million, or $1.03 per share, a year earlier. Quarterly net sales rose to $1.56 billion from $1.47 billion a year earlier. Smucker expects net sales to rise more than 6 percent in fiscal year 2013.
Standard & Poor's recently gave Smucker a "strong buy" rating with a 12-month target price of $105.00. Smucker's Beta is 0.62 -- again well below the general market.
A well-diversified stock protfolio should include some defensive companies with pricing power. These companies offer a measure of safety if there is a downturn in the economy, but still perform well in good times too.
