Merit Badge Counselor Orientation
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Supplemental Adult Leader Training for Merit Badge Counselors
The purpose of this training unit is to provide council- or district-approved and registered merit badge counselors with understanding of the methods of counseling and their role in the advancement program of the Boy Scouts of America.
The merit badge counselor's role is to bring about learning on the part of the Boy Scout.
As a "coach" the counselor advises the Scout concerning steps he should take to fulfill the requirements for the merit badge.
As a "counselor" he evaluates the Scout's performance and determines whether or not the Scout has met the prescribed objectives in the requirements.
As a result of this unit of training, the merit badge counselor should be able to:
- State the purpose of the merit badge program for Scouts.
- Explain the role of the merit badge counselor.
- List some methods of counseling and coaching.
- Use the buddy system for counseling.
- Boy Scout Requirements
- Boy Scout Handbook

Scout Buddy System
A Scout must have a buddy with him at each meeting with a merit badge counselor. A Scout's buddy could be another Scout, or be a parent or guardian, brother or sister, relative or friend. From his Scoutmaster, the Scout obtains a signed merit badge application and the name of the appropriate merit badge counselor. The Scout sets up his first appointment with the counselor. The counselor should explain the requirements to the Scout. The Scout and his buddy then meet as appropriate with the counselor until the Scout completes the badges requirements.
A Scout earns a merit badge by working with a council/district-approved and registered adult counselor, an expert in the chosen subject, who is on the list provided to his troop from the district. The Scout, along with a buddy, makes an appointment with the counselor and works on the merit badge with the counselor during one or more visits. When the counselor approves the Scout's application, the Scoutmaster submits it to the council service center and obtains the badge. As with rank awards, the Scout is awarded the merit badge at the next troop meeting, and later at the next court of honor.
Any registered Scout, regardless of rank, may work on any merit badge and receive the award when he earns it.
The merit badge program is one of Scouting's basic character-developing tools. Earning merit badges gives boys the kind of self-confidence that comes only from overcoming obstacles to achieve a goal.
Through the merit badge program, boys learn career skills that might help them choose their lifework. Some merit badges help boys develop physical fitness and provide hobbies that give a lifetime of healthful recreation.
Working with a merit badge counselor gives the Scouts contact with an adult with whom they might not be acquainted. This is a valuable experience. The Scouts could be shy and fearful in this new situation, so the counselor must see that the counseling session is relaxed, informal, and friendly.
Although at times two Scouts will be working as buddies on the same merit badge, each Scout is judged on his own performance of the requirements and should receive the maximum benefit from the knowledge, skill, character, and personal interest of the counselor. Group instruction and orientation are encouraged where special facilities and expert personnel make this most practical or when Scouts are dependent on a few counselors for assistance. However, this group experience should include individual attention to each candidate's projects and his ability to fulfill all requirements.
Read and Discuss
The pamphlet: Merit Badge Counseling
Discuss these points with the Merit Badge Counselor
- Merit badge requirements in the merit badge pamphlet.
- Merit badge pamphlets are available in each subject and
- a. May be purchased by the Scout.
- b. May be available at a library.
- c. May be in the troop library.
- The Scout indicates his interest in a merit badge to his Scoutmaster, who gives him
- a. An interview to determine interest, enthusiasm, preparedness.
- b. A signed Application for Merit Badge.
- c. The name and phone number of the council/district-approved counselor.
- d. Encouragement to wear the official uniform when he visits the counselor with a buddy.
- The Scout calls the merit badge counselor and makes an appointment.
- The merit badge counselor sets the date and time for the Scout and his buddy and suggests the Scout bring the following:
- a. Merit badge pamphlet
- b. Merit badge application
- c. Any projects he may have started
- d. Any other indication of preparedness
- At the first interview, the merit badge counselor and the Scout decide upon
- a. Projects.
- b. Short-term and long-term goals with dates of completion in mind.
- c. Dates and times for future sessions.
- The number of counseling sessions depends on the difficulty of the subject and the presentation and ability of the Scout.
- The Scout is counseled with a buddy present.
- The Scout is always tested individually but with a buddy present, and as each requirement is completed the counselor marks it on the application.
- The Scout is expected to meet the requirements as stated -- no more and no less.
- The merit badge counselor assists the Scout to meet the requirements and certifies when he has completed them.
Counseling Techniques
- For the Scout to get the most benefit from the counseling session, he must feel welcome and relaxed. One way for the counselor to put him at ease is to ask a simple question. For example, "How long have you been in Scouting?" or "What got you interested in the astronomy merit badge?"
- Another way to put a Scout at ease is to show him something related to the merit badge subject. For example, a Coin Collecting merit badge counselor might show the Scout his coin collection. However, don't overwhelm the Scout. Remember, he is probably a beginner.
- A third way to put a Scout at ease is to ask him to do a simple skill. For example, a Woodwork merit badge counselor might say, "Would you sand this piece of wood while I get some tools ready?"
- At the first meeting with the Scout, the merit badge counselor should carefully review each requirement to be sure the Scout understands what he must do.
- Before the merit badge counselor signs the Scout's Application for Merit Badge, he must insist that the Scout do exactly what the requirements call for. If it says, "show or demonstrate," that is what he must do. Just telling isn't enough. The same things hold true for words such as "make," "list," "in the field," and "collect, identify, and label."
- On the other hand, you cannot require more of a Scout than stated. You must not, for example, say, "I want to be sure you really know your stuff, so instead of the 20 items you need for the collection, you must have 30 to get my signature."
- It is, of course, acceptable for the Scout on his own initiative to do more than the requirements call for.
- When reviewing the requirements with a Scout or testing him, the merit badge counselor may find that the boy needs help in learning a particular skill. One of the jobs of a merit badge counselor is to teach the Scout the skills required.
- The most effective way to teach a skill is to get the Scout to practice while learning.
As a Counselor
- A Scout is interviewed with a buddy present to determine
- a. His preparedness.
- b. The amount of knowledge he already has in the subject.
- c. His interest in the subject.
- Short-term and long-term goals are set by the Scout with encouragement from the counselor.
- Counselor follows up with the Scout on his goals -- projects, collections, written work.
- Counselor helps the Scout evaluate his progress.
- Counselor encourages the Scout to ask for any help he needs to gain more knowledge or skill in the subject.
A Coach
- Teaches the Scout the skills required
- Gives the Scout an opportunity to practice the skills under his or her guidance
- Takes a genuine interest in the projects and encourages completion
Check over the requirements for the merit badge(s) each counselor will be using. (Have the counselors do this individually.)

TAUNTON — A community forum in Taunton has been scheduled for tonight, following the city's recent spike in heroin overdoses.
The Taunton Police Department has reported a surge in heroin abuse including responses to four overdoses just on Saturday. There were 20 suspected overdoses and three suspected overdose deaths in January and at least 19 overdoses in February.
Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr., the police department and public health and human service agencies are to participate in the forum on Monday. Taunton residents are encouraged to attend.
Hoye said he hopes the forum will spark a discussion that will curb the city's overdose problem and encourage those in need to seek help.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Friedman Middle School in Taunton.
As Taunton's city government, police and the Bristol County district attorney prepare to hold a forum tonight about the high number of heroin overdoses in the community recently, the public health epidemic showed no signs of stopping over the weekend.
Taunton police reported responding to four overdoses on Saturday alone.
Two of the overdoses happened at the same 40 Tremont St. rear apartment on Saturday morning. Taunton police said they initially responded to calls of an overdose at the building, when a second person was found suffering from an overdose at the location.
Later on in the day, Taunton police commented about the Saturday morning overdose calls on Facebook and remarked on the pattern of increased heroin calls dating back to the beginning of the year. Without identifying the address in the post, Police said they have actually responded to the 40 Tremont St. Rear apartment five times over three days last week for overdoses.
"This morning we were clearing an overdose at the apartment when someone else went down," the message said. "When will this stop?"
Based on previous police statements and a count of documented suspected overdose calls, Taunton police have responded to 48 suspected overdoses in the city this year, which they say is a dramatic increase from the amount they were responding to last year. That included at least four suspected overdose deaths in the city in 2014 thus far. - See more at: http://www.tauntongazette.com/article/20140216/NEWS/140216723#sthash.AK8kuTsJ.dpufTaunton Gazette staff writer Marc Larocque and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Primary over, Manchester races getting interesting
By TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
This was the week that a young alderman went from "Patrick who?" to
Patrick Arnold
, the guy who may give Mayor
Ted Gatsas
a run for his money. Arnold, a Democrat, surpassed expectations and won 40 percent of the vote in Tuesday's primary to Gatsas' 55 percent, according to the official results released Wednesday. The remainder went to
Glenn R.J. Oullette
, who got 3.3 percent, and write-ins and blank ballots.
According to the official count, nearly 12 percent of the city's 61,133 voters cast ballots - a low turnout to be sure, but an improvement over the last primary, in 2011, which hit a record low of 9 percent. The more interesting takeaway from the official results may be that there are nearly 9,000 more registered voters in the city than there were in 2011, a surge attributed to new registrations during the 2012 presidential election.
Mayor Gatsas, a Republican, is known for running for the office, not against the candidate, but there had been indications leading up to the primary that his campaign recognized the threat Arnold posed. And while Gatsas stayed above the fray, the more tech-savvy members of his campaign mixed it up in the trenches of social media on YouTube, Facebook and, most intensely, Twitter.
A couple of days before the primary, the New Hampshire Republican State Committee revealed that WMUR had ordered Arnold's campaign to remove from YouTube a video slamming Gatsas over the crime issue. The video apparently made unauthorized use of WMUR footage. An edited version of the video was reposted.
A tweet on the GOP's official Twitter account alleged that Arnold, a lawyer, knew a law was being broken "when he made his video. But he didn't care until he got caught red-handed.''
Then on primary day, the state GOP slammed the Patrick campaign for a re-tweet of a photo of the ballot apparently posted originally by City Democratic Chairman
Liz Kulig
. The GOP said posting the ballot could violate state law.
Arnold declined to respond specifically to the allegations made by the Republicans. "I'm aware of the New Hampshire Republican Party discussing our campaign on social media," he said. "I'd say our campaign is not about partisan bickering, but talking about real solutions to the challenges (we face)."
Of course, when it comes to getting nasty, Arnold's campaign can certainly dish it out. On the night of the primary, the campaign issued a statement referring to Gatsas as a multimillionaire and a bully. "Mayor Gatsas may think he can bully the people of this city into submission, but he is in for a rude awakening in November," Arnold's campaign manager,
opined in the release. Gatsas, for his part, said he wouldn't resort to name-calling, but he said he didn't feel any need to apologize for being wealthy. "My brother and I started a company and we employed an awful lot of people," he said. "I'm not ashamed of it. I'm proud of it. We were successful."
- - - - - - -
The Ward 10 alderman race was another notable contest.
Bill Barry
, a retired police officer, won more votes than two-term incumbent
Phil Greazzo
, who was the runner-up. In addition, the Democratic vote was likely split between
Jane Beaulieu,
the longtime activist and state representative. Barry and Greazzo will face off in November, and things are already getting heated.
Greazzo, of course, is a Republican, and he's also a stickler for the rules. He noticed that Barry's campaign signs indicated they were paid for by the "friends of Bill Barry" political action committee. He then noticed that the Manchester teachers union indicated that it had donated to the Barry PAC. But as it turns out, no such committee is registered with the city.
On Thursday, Greazzo sent an email to City Clerk
Matt Normand
and state Attorney General
Joe Foster
. "Consider this a written complaint regarding my opponent's illegal campaign activity," he wrote.
Barry insisted that not registering as a PAC was a simple oversight; he had filed his disclosure form with the city as an individual, not a committee.
"I'm not trying to be sneaky at all," said Barry, who hasn't held elected office but ran for Hillsborough County sheriff in 2012. "I asked the city clerk, 'Tell me what I need to do.' This is all new to me."
The clerk did tell Barry what to do, and he's now registered as a PAC.
- - - - - - -
For about a year now, the aldermen's Land and Buildings Committee has been engaged in an odd dance with the owner of the Dunkin' Donuts off Beech Street at the southern tip of Livingston Park. It goes like this: The owner says, 'I want to buy the little sliver of parkland that the coffee shop uses for parking and its drive-through.' The committee says, 'Mo, thanks, but we'll lease it to you.' And then the owner comes back and says, 'No thank you; I'd rather buy it.'
So it was that an attorney for
Constantine Scrivanos
, whose family owns the Dunkin' franchise, was again before the committee on Monday.
"We want to continue to express our interest in purchasing the property. We're not interested in leasing," the lawyer said, adding that they were willing to pay $50,000, which they considered the land's fair market value.
Scrivanos, if you haven't heard, is a Gatsas supporter, and he has donated to city and school initiatives. Most recently, he cut a $2,500 check to the mayor's campaign. Gatsas has taken an interest in the Livingston Park deal, and he has pointed to Scrivanos' generosity to the city, although he has not publicly advocated selling the land.
The Land and Buildings Committee has taken a dim view of a land sale, with the most vociferous objections expressed by Alderman-At-Large
Joe Kelly Levasseur
, a thorn in Gatsas' side, and Ward 2 Alderman
Ron Ludwig
, who is a former city parks director.
"I have all the respect in the world for this family. They do so much for the city, I get it," Ludwig said on Monday. But he said he opposes selling a chunk of parkland, however small, as a matter of principle. "I'm very happy to let them be there a long time," he said. "I'm willing to do some small lease that will allow them to continue over time, that will give them financial stability. If that's not good enough for you, I'm sorry, but I'm not selling."
The committee voted to have the city pursue a lease with the Dunkin' Donuts owner. And so the dance continues....
- - - - - - -
Primary day was also when we finally got a good look at the finances of the Arnold campaign. And those, too, surpassed expectations. He reported taking in more than $64,000 between January and the primary. A good chunk of the money came from public employee unions, as is often the case for Democrats in high-profile races. But there was one notably large contribution - $1,000 - from an individual:
Nick Want
Want has been an outspoken critic of the mayor when it comes to school funding, and he's a leader of the group Citizens for Manchester Schools, which has rallied around the issue. The group has maintained that it is a nonprofit that does not engage in political advocacy. Did the donation to Arnold represent a pooling of CMS funds?
No, was the answer from Want. "It was my personal funds," he said. "We need to change the direction in the way this city is managed, and it's clear that the current mayor is putting blinders on and putting his head in the sand regarding fundamental issues."

The answer to gun violence is not gun control, but stricter enforcement of gun laws already in place. Stricter enforcement of the laws will do the job that is intended by gun control, without trying to strip citizens of their guns.
Australia passed one of the toughest gun control laws in effect to date in 1997, in an attempt to lower the rate of suicide in the country. In a 14-year study, it was not proven that the law had any effect on the rate of suicide in Australia.
In 1982, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned a law banning handguns in the city of Chicago, Ill. With a 5-4 vote the Court agreed citing, "Americans in all 50 states have a constitutional right to possess firearms for self-defense." A Gallup poll taken in 1959 showed that 60 percent of Americans supported a handgun ban. The same poll was taken in 2011 and showed that only twenty-six percent of Americans supported a ban on hand guns.
It is not the lawful citizens the law is concerned with, but rather the criminals. It is illegal to purchase or possess alcohol under the age of 21, yet how many DUIs are there each year given to teens? Almost 21 percent of all DUIs are by teens. The point is that if gun control is passed into law, it will be the criminals who have guns, not the law-abiding citizen. If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

Seth Mazzaglia says student's death occurred during 'consensual sex act'By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 06. 2013 4:19PM
DOVER - The local couple charged in connection with the murder of University of New Hampshire sophomore, Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott were actively looking for a "submissive" for sado-masochistic sex acts just before Marriott's death.
According to documents unsealed Tuesday in the murder case against Seth Mazzaglia, 30, of Dover, he told police he and girlfriend Kathryn "Kat" McDonough were engaged in a consensual sex act with Marriott the night of her murder on Oct. 9.
On Oct. 12, three days after Marriott was last heard from, police interviewed Mazzaglia, who allegedly recounted a variety of stories involving "BDSM" or bondage sadomasochism, gone too far.
In a statement released by the Marriott family through attorney George Thompson following Mazzaglia's indictment in April, they said their daughter would not have consented to such an act.
After initially lying to police, Mazzaglia later admitted that he had used a rope to strangle Marriott as part of a sex act while McDonough was in the room.
He alleged that Marriott had what he described as a seizure during the act, but neither he nor McDonough rendered any aid or called for help, instead reaching out to a friend.
Roberta Gerkin and Paul Hicock of Rochester allegedly arrived at the couple's Dover apartment on Oct. 9 after a frantic call from McDonough to find a young woman, naked except for underwear, with plastic bags tied around her head and face, according to the court records.
Gerkin told police she removed the bags with a "box cutter" and that the woman had a "blue face" and appeared to be dead.
According to court records, Mazzaglia told Hicock he "blacked out" during the act and said something along the lines of "this time I went too far."
Gerkin said Mazzaglia and McDonough were discussing "dumping the body" but could not be specific, according to court records.
Mazzaglia later admitted to transporting Marriott's body in her car, and throwing it into the Piscataqua River from Peirce Island with McDonough's help. He later led police personally to the dump site, but Marriott's body has never been recovered.
Mazzaglia and McDonough allegedly abandoned Marriott's car at a UNH parking lot and disposed of her clothes, their clothes and other items associated with the alleged crime in various Dumpsters between their Mill Road apartment, UNH and Portsmouth and shut off their cellphones to avoid having their locations "pinged."
Mazzaglia was charged with second-degree murder in October, and hundreds of pages of documents in his case remained under seal until Tuesday.
On May 2, he waived arraignment on a slate of new charges out of Strafford County Superior Court including two counts of first-degree murder.
The complaints allege that Mazzaglia strangled Marriott before, during or after committing or attempting to commit felonious sexual assault.
In a recorded conversation in December, McDonough allegedly told Gerkin the death at first appeared to be accidental, and then turned "purposeful."
McDonough has been charged in Rockingham County Superior Court with hindering apprehension or prosecution and witness tampering.
Search warrants were granted for a variety of electronic devices found in the couple's apartment including a videocamera, digital camera, and computers as well as for a variety of cellphone records.
A search of McDonough's phone revealed a number of text messages between her and another friend discussing the BDSM lifestyle.
It also revealed a number of text messages between her and Mazzaglia setting forth in "graphic detail" her role as a submissive and his role as dominant in BDSM sexual acts. Mazzaglia also discusses performing sexual acts on a friend of McDonough's while McDonough watches and/or having McDonough choose a friend that she would "offer" to Mazzaglia and that he would then do "anything" with the friend while McDonough watched, according to court records.
Police discovered both Mazzaglia and McDonough had profiles on fetish sites, including www.fetlife.com, where Mazzaglia's profile details what he and McDonough were looking for in sexual submissives.
The statement released by the Marriott family in April indicated, "The statements are a complete fabrication and are more indicative of Mr. Mazzaglia's twisted sense of reality and responsibility as opposed to Lizzi's character and the life she led for 19 years."

Statement from Gov. Hassan on Senate Ways & Means passage of SB 152
Labor official criticizes tally of social costs of casino gambling
Senate Ways and Means panel approves casino bill
Updated: Senate panel aims to tighten the rules on charitable gaming
CONCORD - Following passage of SB 152 by a 4-1 vote in the Senate Ways & Means Committee, Gov. Maggie Hassan released the following statement:
"I applaud the Senate Ways & Means Committee for advancing legislation that will allow New Hampshire to develop our own plan for one high-end, highly regulated casino in order to invest in the priorities that are critical for creating jobs and building a more innovative economic future. We must restore devastating cuts to higher education, mental health, public safety and other priorities in order to attract the innovative businesses and good jobs of the 21st century economy.
"With Massachusetts moving forward with casino gambling, New Hampshire stands to lose $75 million per year if we fail to act. The true risk we all face is the risk of letting our economy fall behind and allowing the good jobs and growing businesses of the innovation economy to develop elsewhere. I thank Sen. D'Allesandro and Sen. Morse for their work and encourage the full Senate to approve this measure and help invest in the priorities needed to build a stronger, more innovative New Hampshire."

Young Greek boys and men began arriving in Chicago in the 1840's to escape extreme poverty and war. These were primarily seamen who became engaged in the commerce on the Great Lakes. The 2000 federal census counted over 100,000 people of Greek ancestry in the Chicago metropolitan area. Learn about the impact of Greek immigration on Chicago.

BOSTON -- An intergovernmental rival of former Probation Commissioner John O'Brien took the stand in O'Brien's trial Tuesday, testifying about his suspicions about hiring in the department and the souring of their relationship.
Former Chief Justice of Administration and Management Robert Mulligan could be a key witness, as prosecutors contend O'Brien's fraudulent certifications on hiring documents submitted to Mulligan allowed the patronage system to continue.
O'Brien and two of his former deputies, Elizabeth Tavares and William Burke, are charged with mail fraud and conspiracy to commit racketeering for allegedly rigging the hiring to send jobs to people with political backing.
Mulligan, who retired as chief of the Trial Court around his 70th birthday last year, could also provide a window for the defense to press its case that Mulligan oversaw a nearly identical system for hiring court officers and was well aware of how personnel decisions were made in the probation department.
On Tuesday, Mulligan recalled his skepticism, prompted by the disparity between the scoring of John Chisholm in an interview at a local court and in the final round where he topped the list.
"He all of a sudden became a probation savant, a probation genius," said Mulligan, who said the notes of Chisholm's answers during the final round where "full of detail, thoughtful, well organized" and completely different from notes of his earlier interview, which were "bereft of detail."
"It didn't make any sense to me," Mulligan testified. He said when he spotted former deputy commissioner Patricia Walsh, one of two people who interviewed Chisholm, he questioned her for 45 minutes.
"She said those were his answers," said Mulligan, who said he "asked her pointedly twice" whether she had been told to treat him as a favored candidate.
Richard O'Neil, a probation official who participated in the local interview that advanced Chisholm as a finalist, previously said Chisholm had been identified as a preferred candidate and he "scored him liberally."
Chisholm had the backing of former Sen. Jack Hart, according to Hart, and received the job. Mulligan said despite his suspicions, Walsh had told him the process was above board and he had no tangible reasons to block the appointment.
"If I had a glimmer of a reason for not approving it, I would have," Mulligan said. His questioning of Walsh led to an October 2006 letter from O'Brien who objected to "this unprecedented interrogation."
Mulligan and O'Brien sparred over budgetary control and personnel, as O'Brien sought to remove judges from the interview process and Mulligan wanted a more objective measure of education and experience to be factored in to the final selection of a candidate, he said.
A former assistant attorney general and federal prosecutor, Mulligan was appointed to the Boston Municipal Court in 1980 by Gov. Edward King, and rose to become the chief justice of the Superior Court between 1994 and 1999 before heading up the trial court starting in 2003. He is a source of enmity for some.
"I truly believe a lot of this stems from Mulligan's dislike for Commissioner O'Brien. Dislike may be too moderate of a term; it was contempt, frankly. I don't know the genesis of Mulligan's dislike, but it manifested with Mulligan refusing to meet with [O'Brien] for years prior to any of this. He refused to speak with him, and everything was done through written correspondence," O'Brien loyalist Christopher Bulger told Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in June. Bulger said, "I think Mulligan will suffer a blistering cross-examination. I can guarantee he does not want to be on the stand."
The son of longtime Senate President William Bulger, Christopher Bulger was a lawyer for the probation department who now regularly attends the trial to provide O'Brien support. Bulger, the three defendants, Walsh and Francis Wall were identified as potential targets of criminal investigation by independent counsel Paul Ware.
Defense attorneys were on guard throughout the Mulligan's hours of direct examination Tuesday, raising objections while he answered, which the former head of the trial court either didn't hear or didn't acknowledge. At one point prosecutor Fred Wyshak complained, "I think these objections are just disruptive."
Mulligan said his previously cordial relationship with O'Brien changed when Mulligan became the CJAM (pronounced SEE-JAM).
"I had always known him to be a well met fellow, fairly genial," Mulligan testified. He said, "After I became CJAM, that changed drastically… It was oppositional almost from the time I took office."
Mulligan said O'Brien wanted to remove judges from the interviewing process.
"He did not want a judge on the panel, and I rejected that," Mulligan said. In a 2001 law the commissioner was granted the ability to appoint probation officers, while the chief justice of administration and management retained authority to approve or reject those appointments.
O'Brien bragged in a January 2007 letter that the department's hiring process "may be the most transparent, accountable and tested process in the public sector." He said, "I am proud to say that in the vast majority of cases the process has withstood that scrutiny, and it consistently and repeatedly has been found to be fair and to be in compliance with the Contract."
Mulligan said judges clashed with probation officials over the promotion of an assistant chief probation officer to Fall River District Court. Lucia Ligotti only made the list of finalists after it was expanded from eight candidates to nine candidates, Fall River First Justice Gilbert Nadeau wrote in a March 2005 letter to Mulligan, which prompted the chief judge to ask O'Brien for a written response.
Mulligan said Donelle Gomes, a 15-year veteran who was the unanimous favorite during the local interview, should have received the promotion over Ligotti, who had worked in a family court for four years. The job was eventually given to Larry Lopes. Ellen Slaney, a former probation official who has said she resisted directives to rig the process, was O'Brien's representative for the three-person local interview.
Mulligan was 37 years old and a lifelong Boston resident when he was appointed to the bench in 1980. He had donated $1,000 to King in October 1978, according to documents on file at the Governor's Council.
Mulligan served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1971, with the rank of lieutenant, and won four bronze stars in the Vietnam War. He spent two years in the Boston Municipal Court before King nominated him to the Superior Court in 1982.

Reds come back, beat Bucs in extras
A single strike from falling two games behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the race for the top spot in the National League wild-card race, the Cincinnati Reds needed a break.
Jordy Mercer provided one. The surging Reds took care of the rest.
A wild throw by the Pittsburgh shortstop with two outs in the ninth inning opened the door for a three-run rally off Pirates closer Mark Melancon that tied the game. Joey Votto's home run off Kyle Farnsworth an inning later won it as the Reds pulled off an improbable 6-5 victory to move into a tie with the Pirates. Both teams are two games behind St. Louis for the lead in the NL Central.
"That's really uncommon, really rare, and for us to have done that in a game like this, against this squad, against that pitcher, that makes it even more rare and pretty impressive," Votto said. "Guys just strung together a bunch of tough at-bats."
Ones that came after Mercer couldn't quite handle a slow grounder by Todd Frazier with one on and two outs in the ninth. Mercer charged the ball but couldn't get a grip on it and it ended up in the stands behind first base.
"If I make a good throw right there, the game is over and all the stuff that happened never happens," Mercer said. "It was tough. We played a great game, everybody played a great game and to have it happen like that, it's just a bad throw."
And the Pirates quickly unraveled.
Zach Cozart singled after Mercer's error to put runners on the corners. Cincinnati rookie base-stealing specialist Billy Hamilton pinch ran for Cozart and promptly swiped second then raced home when Devin Mesoraco ended a nine-pitch duel with Melancon by sending a sharp grounder that bounced off third baseman Pedro Alvarez and rolled onto the grass in shallow left field.
"I really just went up there and just thought about battling …" Mesoraco said. "That was it. That was my only goal, just go up there, battle, battle, and hopefully leave one out over the plate that I could put a half-decent swing on and hopefully find a hole."
Melancon has been dominant since taking over the closer's role from Jason Grilli in July, but blew his second save in three days. San Diego rallied for a 3-2 win on Wednesday.
This one, however, will almost certainly be more difficult to overcome.
"That's a game we should have won and I think the Reds know that too," Melancon said.
JJ Hoover (5-5) earned the win for the Reds, who have won four straight. Aroldis Chapman worked the 10th for his 38th save.
Farnsworth (1-1) retired Brandon Phillips to start the 10th but left fielder Starling Marte couldn't quite grab Votto's shot down the line.
"We hadn't come back in a long time, and we hadn't come back for a long time on the road," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said.
Pittsburgh began the week 74-2 when leading after eight innings, but has now squandered ninth-inning leads twice in three nights.
"Who said it was going to be easy?" manager Clint Hurdle said. "Who said it was going to be easy? We've been very good winning as a team, losing as a team … we've got to find a way to finish things off."
The Pirates appeared firmly in control through eight innings.
Francisco Liriano overwhelmed the Reds, allowing two runs on three hits, walking three and striking out seven. The left-hander needed only 94 pitches to record 24 outs, but told Hurdle he was done when he entered the dugout after striking out Brandon Phillips to end the eighth.
"He was fantastic," Hurdle said. "He said when he came off he laid it all out there."
Ryan Ludwick finished 3 for 5 for the Reds, while Frazier hit his 17th home run.
Jose Tabata and Neil Walker hit consecutive homers off Cincinnati starter Mat Latos in the first and Pittsburgh appeared en route to giving itself some breathing room as the franchise pursues its first playoff spot since 1992.
PNC Park, typically a ghost town this time of year as the Pirates play out the string, was electric when Pittsburgh took the field. The 21st sellout of the season included Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett and Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma.
NOTES: Hurdle was ejected in the eighth for arguing after star Andrew McCutchen was hit by reliever Sam LeCure, who was given a warning by home plate umpire Mark Carlson … The series continues on Saturday when Pittsburgh's A.J. Burnett (8-11, 3.43 ERA) faces Home Bailey (11-10, 3.40). Bailey tossed his first career no-hitter in his previous start at PNC Park last September.

WAKEFIELD - A former editor at the New Hampshire Union Leader has been charged with possession of child pornography.
Police said Edward C. Domaingue, 64, of Ormond Beach, Fla., a Wakefield summer resident, turned himself in to Wakefield Police on March 15 after learning he had a warrant out for his arrest for possession of child pornography. Domaingue was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail. He is scheduled for arraignment April 17 in the 3rd Circuit Court, Ossipee District Division.
On Thursday, Wakefield Police Department Lt. Mark O'Brien said police launched a lengthy investigation in August of 2012 after receiving information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that the suspect allegedly possessed child pornography on his computer.
With that tip, Wakefield police teamed up with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to investigate. O'Brien said the case remains under investigation and that additional charges may be forthcoming.
Domaingue retired in 2010 after working at the newspaper for 28 years.

PSNH chief steps down to focus on Northern Pass projectBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 12. 2013 12:53PM
HARTFORD, Conn. — Gary A. Long is stepping down as president of Public Service of New Hampshire, effective Aug. 1, to focus on the Northern Pass hydroelectric project as an executive of Northeast Utilities, chief developer of the project in cooperation with PSNH and Hydro-Quebec.
Long has been name president of New Hampshire Renewable Energy Policy Development for Northeast Utilities, according to a PSNH statement issued on Friday.
"What that means in the short term is a couple of things," said Martin Murray, PSNH spokesman. "The immediate focus will be on successfully seeing the Northern Pass project through its permitting process. He is extremely eager and excited to see that project through, and remains absolutely committed to it in terms of benefit that he expects it to deliver to New Hampshire and New England."
Long hosted a press conference just two weeks ago to unveil a new route for the controversial project designed to bring hydroelectric power from Quebec into the New England power grid, via New Hampshire.
"The role with Northern Pass is one that to a certain extent he already has and will continue to have, but this will allow him to emphasize it even more," said Murray. "What goes away is the day-to-day oversight that is necessary to run the basic PSNH operations."
PSNH Vice President of Energy Delivery Paul Ramsey, a native of Berlin, has been named interim president. Ramsey, who joined PSNH in 1975, currently oversees the planning, engineering, and construction and maintenance of the company's electrical distribution system.
Long, 62, has led the state's largest utility for the past 13 years and has been with the company for nearly four decades. He was a principal architect of electric utility restructuring in New Hampshire following the passage of the state's electric utility restructuring law in 1996.
"The tremendous benefit that New Hampshire has in terms of Gary is really his intellectual curiosity," Murray said. "He's not your typical CEO that might get stuck with what works. He is constantly looking for what else we can do. In this new role, besides focusing on Northern Pass, we expect there may be other opportunities ahead as regards renewable energy. With so much focus today on carbon reduction and a continued calls for new sources of renewable energy, Gary has tremendous expertise that can be taken advantage of to help New Hampshire move forward."
Long, 62, is an electrical engineer by training, who rose up the ranks at PSNH from an assistant engineer, to hold various positions in the areas of marketing, customer service, regulatory affairs, governmental relations, corporate communications, economic development and rates.
"PSNH has been a very important part of my life and career over the last 37 years, and I am truly grateful to all my colleagues at PSNH and NU and all those in the state who have made it an exciting and fulfilling experience for me, particularly during the past 13 years as president," Long said. "I look forward to now focusing on the advancement of the Northern Pass project, which I believe will provide unique and critical value to PSNH customers, the state of New Hampshire, and the New England region for future decades, and providing guidance and leadership on important energy policy issues."

With two parents who work as agriculture teachers, Jason Wetzler's experience with the FFA began at a young age.
"I've been around the blue jacket basically since I was born," he said.
Wetzler, who grew up in Clackamas, Ore., was elected as the Western Region vice president of the national FFA organization during its convention in Louisville, Ky. His parents, Wynn and Kathy Mayfield, work for the North Clackamas School District.
"I feel very honored and blessed. It's been a lifelong dream," he said. "Not many people get this experience."
The 21-year-old student at Oklahoma State University had to compete against more than 40 other candidates for one of six national FFA officer positions.
The weeklong process involved giving speeches and participating in interviews with the organization's nominating committee.
Each officer will spend a year traveling about 100,000 miles around the country and overseas — judging contests, giving speeches and otherwise representing the FFA.
"We're basically the face of the national FFA organization," said Wetlzer. "Whatever is requested of us, we get to do."
After an initial training period, Wetzler expects to spend a lot of time in airplanes and rental cars, as the volunteer position usually entails spending more than 300 days on the road.
Previously, Wetzler served as the state treasurer of the Oregon FFA Association in 2011 and 2012.
Last year, he participated in a leadership program for state FFA officers that took him on a 10-day tour of farms and processing facilities in China.
Wetzler said the experience made him appreciate the strong food safety systems in the U.S.
"What we expect is much different than what they expect," he said.
As a major in agricultural leadership, Wetzler plans on traveling internationally as part of his future career.
His current plans involve working for a non-profit — or starting his own — that would assist subsistence farmers in the tiny African nation of Benin.
A fellow student at Oklahoma State University inspired Wetzler's interest in the country's struggles.
The country has an "underdeveloped" economy with more than a third of its population living in poverty, according to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
With the food demands of the global population expected to increase dramatically in coming decades, Africa has a big production potential that's currently underutilized, Wetzler said.
He envisions helping people in Benin upgrade their systems for irrigation and other agricultural practices.

Great-great-grandparents Thomas Butler and Dorcas Radford
Thomas Butler was born in Bathurst, Lanark County, Ontario in 1826, one of nine children of 1819-1820 Irish immigrants John Butler and Alice Warren. While six of his siblings married Warren cousins, in 1852 Thomas Butler married Dorcas Radford, born in 1835, also in Bathurst Township. That's their picture, taken in 1909! According to a 1974 family history Barker and Warren Families from Ireland** , compiled by Grace Hildy Croft, my great-great grandmother Dorcas Radford was a daughter of William Radford of Ireland, while the Butlers can also trace roots there as far back as 1185 to when a Theobald Butler accompanied King John into Ireland.
The second child of Thomas and Dorcas, Jane, married James Chaplin but Jane died at the birth of their first child, Sarah Jane Chaplin, in 1873. She was just eighteen years of age. (This had been the first recorded marriage between a Butler and a Chaplin but it would not be the last.)
Thomas and Dorcas Butler, who raised their orphaned grand-daughter, and a niece as well, while parenting ten children of their own (born between 1854 and 1875), were the grandparents of my paternal grandmother Pearl Butler who married Henry Burton "Bert" Chaplin in 1922. Grandma's brother, Thomas, Jr., died on the First World War battlefields of France on March 1, 1917 sixteen days shy of his twenty-first birthday. I wish I had been more curious about his young life, when I had the chance to talk about him with my grandmother, but it was the war story which caught my attention. More about that, including photos and newspaper clippings, here.
Pte. Thomas E. Butler (17 March 1896 – 1 March 1917)
My great-grandparents, Henry Butler and Jennie Moodie with Beatrice, Thomas, Pearl and cousin Mildred(?)
Only a couple of Grandma Chaplin's five siblings were familiar to me in my early years, great-aunts Bea (notorious for her home-made fudge) and Ruby (who lived in LaSalle, Québec with her husband, family and a very articulate mynah bird.)
The Chaplin family, which settled within easy courting distance of the Butlers, has an interesting part in the pioneer history of Lanark County, too, parts of which can be found in another family genealogy project McKay Family History: Walking in their Footsteps.
I remember my grandmother Chaplin telling me a story, which I in turn used in an elementary school project, of how Henry Chaplin, my great-great-great-great-grandfather, the second child of English immigrants John Chaplain and Sarah Jones, was born in 1835 on board the Pomona freight ship at St. Helen's Island in Montréal harbour. (That was one of the islands used for Expo 67 and continues as a park today. It's also home to a fort, now a museum, where John Chaplain's assigned station quarters were located. He had served in the Royal Regiment of Artillery in Woolwich, County Kent, England. In the regimental book it listed his date and place of birth as Foxfield, Hampshire in 1806.)
Fort St. Helen's Island
As was common with retiring English army personnel John Chaplain purchased land, in his case in Bathurst Township, west of Perth. The McKay book records that in 1840 he bought a 100 acre parcel of land from Richard Lewis for 130 pounds. From Montreal the family took a barge up the St. Lawrence River as far as Brockville. They then crossed overland to Lanark County.
His children's registered surnames dropped the second "a", a change of spelling not uncommon in those times as a new generation in a new land. There have been dozens of Chaplins in the Perth and Glen Tay area for generations, a name synonymous for many years with a large dairy and related delivery business, no longer in operation. Others made their name in a variety of ways, both locally and farther afield.
Grandma and Grandpa had five children – my Aunt Eileen, Uncle Ken, my Dad (Arnold), and then twins Iris and Lois. Eileen died a couple of years ago. Ken, for whom I was named, died on his thirty-fourth birthday, about five months before I was born. He was married and the father of two girls aged twelve and eight. Having entered hospital for a hernia operation, he died of a blood clot on the day he was supposed to have been released. There seems little doubt that today's routine blood-thinners would have saved his life. In any case there was an almost-immediate understanding between my mother and her mother-in-law that, should I be a boy, I would be named after Ken. (My middle name, George, I owe to my maternal grandfather and great-grandfather.)
1927 – Ross Chaplin, brother Bert (my grandfather) and Pearl (my grandmother) holding my Dad, Arnold, with Ken and Eileen in front
Not too far away from Glen Tay, to the south and west of Perth, is the Scotch Line (County Road 10) where my mother and her little brother spent their toddler years before George Henry McGinnis, Sr. and Lillian Thelma MacPherson moved into town, relocating to a Drummond Street home where my mother still lives today.
1932 – Lillian (MacPherson) McGinnis with Madeline, George Henry McGinnis with George, Jr.
Grandpa McGinnis, born in 1887 in Sharbot Lake to George Henry McGinnis, Sr. and Eliza Bertram, was a widower cheesemaker, having worked at various cheese factories in the area (Fallbrook, Lanark, Mississippi-Prestonvale) before going to the Scotch Line Union Cheese Factory on the Upper Scotch Line and eventually marrying my grandmother, the new school teacher. They were married in St. Paul's United Church in Perth on June 26, 1925, one of the first, if not the first, marriage in that congregation of the newly-formed United Church of Canada.
Lillian MacPherson, born in 1904 in Green Valley, Charlottenburg Township, was a school teacher who had come to the Perth area from Glengarry County, east of Cornwall and, among the many schools she eventually taught at, was Scotch Line School.

The former Upper Scotch Line School, one of many small schools in the area where my grandmother McGinnis taught, is now used by Scotch Line Cemetery and casts its morning shadow over the grave-sites of my grandparents, parents and brothers Craig and Claude – mine, too.
During the Great Depression, when both my mother (Madeline) and George, Jr. were born, there was a great deal of bartering that went on – cheese for milk, cheese curds for produce, and so on. Nevertheless cheese was a staple in the family and has remained so. Mom jokes that she'll never have problems with her bones because of the great amount of calcium she ingested as a child.
Grandpa and Grandma were also very musical and would go to house parties always prepared to provide some of the entertainment, Grandpa on the violin and Grandma "chording" accompaniment on the piano.
Grandpa died in 1951, a little over a year before Mom and Dad were married. This picture was taken in approximately 1949.
Grandma (my siblings and I actually called her "Gammy" until she died at age 95 in March of 2000), never stopped being a teacher even though she had retired by the time I was half-way through elementary school. One of the stories she talked about was the still-legendary Judge John Matheson, who presided at the Lanark County Court House right across the street. Talk about six times six degrees of separation but Judge Matheson, known for his role in the crafting of our Maple Leaf flag, is related:
My grandmother's grandmother, my great-great-grandmother Margery McIntosh-MacDonald, was a sister of Judge Matheson's grandmother Catherine McIntosh.
Grandpa McGinnis had three older sisters – Mary (Mrs. Duncan Avery), Maud (Mrs. George Fife), and Maggie (Mrs. Billie Ennis). In addition he had two younger brothers: Charles (who married Della Doran) and Arthur (whose wife's maiden name was Meta McLellan.) One younger sister, Christena, was married to Ed Pratt.
As mentioned Grandpa was a widower married first to Edith Jackson. They provided his second family, along with his many descendants, with step-sister Dorothy ("Auntie Dot" to me) and step-brothers Mervyn, his wife Myrtle "Myrt", who gave birth to cousin "Red" Jack, and Fred and his war-bride Betty, all of whom the blended family simply claimed as aunts, uncles and cousins. Dot and Homer gave us sons Jack and Don and daughter Nancy.
A character known as "Grandma McGinnis", she would actually be my great-grandmother, was named Eliza Ann Bertram and having lived until 1953, to the age of nearly 104, stories about her will be passed on for many years. When I was growing up, particularly when I was doing so literally hitting 6'3″ in my teens, I had a habit of clicking my feet on the dining room floor at dinner. That, my mother (and others in the family if they were visiting) told me, reminded them of Grandma McGinnis who seemed to have the same kick in her step.
Great-Grandma McGinnis (Eliza Ann Bertram) 1849-1953
Dancing had a lot to do with Mom and Dad getting together. A friend of Mom was dancing with him one night and Mom inquired as to who he was. They would dance together through nearly fifty years of marriage which began on July 26, 1952. Their first child, Arnold Craig Chaplin, was born May 13, 1955.
Dad was working at a textiles plant in Perth called Springdale Mills, owned by a company based in Montréal, and which presently closed up in Perth and transferred anyone who wished to go to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec. Mom, Dad and Craig moved despite misapprehensions from family and friends, who seemed to see Québec as a nearly foreign, dangerous place. We, on the other hand, feel that the experience of living there enriched us immensely. Craig stayed in Montréal the rest of his life, dying in 2007, and we remain close with his partner of seventeen years, Claude, so maintain a connection with the city and province.
I was born in Ormstown, Québec, a short drive from Valleyfield. It was October 26, 1959. Lynn followed on March 2, 1961 and then Janice was born on September 30, 1968.
100 Nicholson – The first Valleyfield home for Mom, Dad, Craig and then me
In 1964 the family moved to 38 Simpson Street, a home which Mom and Dad designed and which managed to meet the needs of a family of six, with Janice's arrival in 1968.

Today we have a plethora of companies reporting earnings and are moving through the first quarter earnings season at a rapid pace. Thus far, earnings have been far from exciting and have made the previous 2013 forward earnings estimates laughable.
The only way we get to the proposed valuations is through multiple expansion, which is simply going to require the Federal Reserve to continue to pump $85 billion into Treasury's and MBS securities each month. I am confident they will comply.
There are a few analysts out there who are discussing the potential bubble forming in equities and other risk assets as Bernanke's plan is working to the extent that asset prices are rising. However, even fewer analysts are pointing out that both retail and institutional money is constantly chasing yield at this point.
Simply take a look at the 2013 price action in high yield dividend paying stocks, high yield bonds, preferred stocks, and master limited partnerships. It is safe to say that a bubble has formed not just in equities, but in various fixed investments as well. Consider the following chart of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) shown as the dotted trend line and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shown as the solid black line.
Obviously from looking at the chart above, JNJ has outperformed the S&P 500 Index year to date. Has JNJ suddenly become a growth giant? Is it all about earnings growth and/or forward earnings potential or anticipated growth?
Or is the rally in JNJ really about the fact that Johnson & Johnson has a long history of paying strong, rising dividends. I am sure there are plenty of sell side analysts who will tell you that JNJ is going to $100 / share in the future for a variety of macro or quantitative reasons.
The sell-side analysts will tell you the economy is strengthening or that large cap multinational companies are seeing strengthening fundamentals and earnings growth. They are called the sell-side for a reason; they want to sell you stock.
Furthermore, my favorite recent discussion is about future earnings projections and the new strength that we are going to see in earnings. The following chart was posted at www.zerohedge.com and originally came from Standard & Poors. The chart below illustrates the trailing 12 month operating earnings per share of S&P 500 companies.
Based on the above data, how is the stock market fundamentally sound when earnings are collapsing? I guess the Federal Reserve is going to print profits for the S&P 500 companies. Actually earnings are irrelevant when central banks all over the world including the Federal Reserve are juicing the markets with a sea of liquidity and where multiple expansion trumps real earnings or value.
Furthermore, these same central banks are openly purchasing equities and allocating sizable portions of their balance sheets to stocks. Several central banks around the world have more than 10% of their reserves allocated to stocks at this point in time. The world is long risk and money is still flowing into bonds at the same time. Simply look at the recent price action in Treasury's for the past few weeks or note the strength in municipal bonds in aggregate since mid-March.

COST $45 to $55 per person
INFO www.dianedrulisfoundation.org
The Diane Drulis Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping dancers on their toes by providing them with scholarships that allow them to keep dancing. In its first three years of existence, DDF has provided almost $10,000 to dedicated dancers who are passionate about honing their talent and craft.
This year, they are hoping to continue the tradition of giving by hosting "A Night on Broadway," which will feature performances by several scholarship recipients, a silent auction, catering by Big Fish Grill and the musical stylings of deejay Mike Warren. Guests will be treated to a night that feels like it's right on the Great White Way and people are encouraged to dress for the occasion.
This year, the foundation will also donate 5 percent of all ticket sales to St. Jude's Research Hospital as well. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.dianedrulisfoundation.org or by calling (302) 703-2906. Tickets will also be available at the door.
WHAT "Spring Harvest" cooking class
WHERE Abbott's Grill, 249 N.E. Front St., Milford
WHEN 10:30 a.m., Saturday
INFO www.abbottsgrill.com
Given the cool temperatures and strong winds this week, many people might not have noticed that spring is officially here. And, before you know it, gardens will be chock full of the season's freshest greens and most luscious fruits.
But, what do you do with them? Well, Abbott's Grill Chef Paul Gallo has a few ideas and he's anxious to share them with anybody who's got a couple of hours to spare Saturday morning for his latest cooking class, "Spring Harvest."
Gallo said that asparagus and blueberries are in season right now and he's got a few recipes that will have you rethinking Sunday brunch menus.
"I'm going to demonstrate how to make asparagus guacamole, a blueberry chicken salad and beet gnocchi," said Gallo. "And, none of these are hard to make, either. I keep it within the skill level of the average cook."
He also takes care to make sure the recipes aren't too time-consuming, either.
"Nobody has time for a complicated four-hour recipe," said Gallo. "So, I try to keep the whole demonstration within about an hour. That way, people can recreate what they've learned for parties or meals during the week."
Marketing coordinator Karen Stauffer said that people should come prepared with any and all questions.
"At our last cooking class, the participants were there for over an hour after the class ended, firing off questions about everything from ingredients to cooking utensils," said Stauffer. "Paul loves it, though. He can tell you what to do with certain foods to make them better, where to find ingredients, how to cook stuff. You learn a lot."
Stauffer added that each participant will get a packet with all the recipes demonstrated by Gallo so they can make notes about questions or variations.
Lunch is included and will follow the demonstration. For more information or to register, call (302) 491-6736.
WHAT "101 Dalmatians" the musical
WHEN 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday; 7 p.m. Sunday
WHERE Premier Centre for the Arts, Anderson St., Middletown
INFO pcade.com or (302) 378-1384
Adult actors are told to never share the stage with children or animals. They upstage with a healthy dose of cuteness every time. But, Middletown's Premier Centre for the Arts' production of "101 Dalmatians" has both. Sort of.
The classic tale features more than 30 kids and follows the evil Cruella De Vil, who has a fondness for fashion. Her evil obsession? A Dalmatian fur coat.
Like the movie, the story is a cacophony of chaos, featuring dog-napping and lots of barking. But, even though you'll swear the whimpering is coming from live animals, it is actually the well-trained voices of 28 children, outfitted in spotted costumes.
Leigh Willis, who shoulders the burden of Cruella, is still getting used to leading a life of crime with her role in the play.

Heroin addict turned robber gets treatment program offerBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
July 15. 2013 6:45PM
BRENTWOOD — A Derry woman charged with four robberies, including ones in Derry and Londonderry, will be allowed to be free on personal recognizance bail if she finds a residential treatment program for drug addiction.
Rochelle Richards, 23, had her bail changed by a superior court judge to $50,000 personal recognizance from cash bail — contingent upon her finding a residential treatment facility that will accept her, according to a judge's order.
Richards was indicted last month in Rockingham County Superior Court for the April 9 attempted robbery of a Subway restaurant in Londonderry for telling a store worker, "I have a gun. Give me all your money," according to prosecutors.
No gun was shown, police said.
A worker called 911 reporting that the woman fled in a blue Dodge Neon parked near the Perkins Road eatery.
Derry police arrested Richards for the April 7 robbery at East Derry General Store, and charges from other recent robberies in the area soon followed.
Manchester police charged her with allegedly robbing a D'Angelo's sandwich shop on South Willow Street on April 3, and the Candia Road Convenience store on April 9. That robbery happened about 40 minutes after the attempted robbery in Londonderry, according to police.
During her initial court appearances, Richards said she has a heroin addiction that led her to commit the robberies.
Judge Marguerite Wageling ordered that Richards would not be allowed to have any unexcused absences from the treatment program.
An absence or departure from the treatment program would result in Richards being held on $50,000 cash bail pending her trial in superior court, according to the court order.
Police said detectives were able to identify Richards as a suspect through several tips. Surveillance photos released by Derry police after the robbery in their town showed a blue Dodge Neon in the parking lot of the general store.
The attempted robbery charge from the Londonderry case is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 3½ to 7 years in state prison.

Doing 'less with less' Is that Gov. Hassan's new motto?
December 07. 2013 6:54PM
Gov. Maggie Hassan's transportation commissioner threatened last week, again, that he was pretty much going to have to shut down New Hampshire highways in future winters and advise motorists not to cross that bridge - any bridge - when they come to it.
OK, we are exaggerating Christopher Clement's latest "wolf!'' cry. But it is not that far from what he said. And what he did say was bad enough.
We are, Clement testified to a House committee, doing "less with less."
Not exactly the "can-do, all-hands-on-deck'' attitude that Gov. Hassan speaks of wherever she goes. Sounds more like "abandon ship! All is lost!"
There is no doubt that state highway maintenance and improvements need to be paid for. New Hampshire highway crews do a fine job of it, particularly in the winter, where tourists and residents alike take to the roads to take advantage of skiing and other outdoor activities.
It makes no sense whatsoever for the governor to allow her highway chief to tell those travelers that they may as well go elsewhere for their skiing and winter fun because we won't be maintaining our roads.
It makes no sense for someone seeking legislative approval for a higher gasoline tax to be saying he is doing "less with less."
What he ought to be saying, what Gov. Hassan should be demanding of him as with other public officials, is that he is finding ways to be more efficient, to prioritize, to learn to do "more with less'' or head for the snow-covered hills.

Buying guides
Interior paint buying guide
For a simple way to update a room, you can't beat a lick of paint. Whether you're putting your stamp on your new home, or are renovating a room that needs some TLC, interior paint can transform any space in the house in a few hours.
There are lots of paints available for different surfaces and it can be a bit daunting if you aren't sure what all the different types, finishes and features mean. We are going to talk you through the ins and outs of interior paint so that you can buy the right paint with confidence.
Questions to ask before you begin
Which room in the house are you painting?
What goes on in the room you are planning to paint? Maybe you are painting a kitchen or bathroom that would benefit from a moisture-resistant paint. Some rooms might need an extra hard-wearing paint which can be wiped down and cleaned such as hallways, landings or kid's bedrooms. Finding the right paint isn't just about which colour you pick. We have different types of paint designed for use in different rooms. By choosing the paint that is specially designed for the type of room you are painting, you will get the best end result.
What type of surface are you painting?
There are different types of paint for different surface materials. As well as a comprehensive selection of emulsion paints for walls and ceilings, we have a wide range of specialist paint including ones that are designed for wood furniture, brick walls, and tiles. Choosing the right paint for the right material will ensure a longer-lasting result and the best coverage.
What kind of look are you going for?
Maybe your home has quite a traditional look and would suit a subtle, matt effect paint. Or perhaps you have a more contemporary style that would look great with a satin or metallic finish paint. When selecting paint, think about what you want the final look to be, so that you can choose the correct finish as well as the right colour.
How much time do you have to complete your decorating project?
If you need to get your painting job done quickly, we have a wide range of quick-drying options that will help you get a whole room decorated in a few hours. We have quick dry wall paint, primers, and wood and metal paint to help you make the most of your time whatever you are painting.
What state is the surface in?
Some of our interior paints can be applied directly to the surface. Others may require a bit of preparation before you can begin painting. Perhaps you are painting a freshly plastered surface or previously untreated wood, or maybe you need to fill in some holes or sand down an uneven surface. We have paints and primers for all sorts of surfaces that will help you achieve a nice, even finish.

Ousted Market Basket CEO 'Arthur T.' Demoulas issues statement offering to return
"Arthur T." issues statement on status of proposal to purchase shares of stock.
A spokesperson for ousted Market Basket CEO Arthur T. Demoulas said Sunday night that his side of the family has been "working round the clock" to purchase over half the shares in the supermarket chain's parent company.
In a statement issued Sunday night, Justine Griffin, a spokesperson for Arthur T. Demoulas said, "Arthur T. Demoulas and his side of the family have been working around the clock to pursue their offer to buy the 50.5% of shares in DSM they do not own for a full and fair price.
"As part of his proposal, Arthur T. has also offered to move immediately to return to work in advance of the completion of the stock purchase and work to bring back his full team to stabilize and begin to restore the business. He offered to do so starting as soon as midnight tonight. These steps are critical at this point and are in the best interests of Associates, customers, vendors and shareholders.
"Time is of the essence. Arthur T. is hopeful but resolution depends on the response of the other shareholders in order for an agreement to be reached."
Market Basket workers are planning to rally in Tewksbury, Mass., on Tuesday morning, a day later than previously planned. The change was to give more time to rally organizers to make parking arrangements and for police to hire additional staff, according to Steve Paulenka, a top organizer and a Londonderry resident recently terminated by Market Basket. The rally will take place at 11 a.m. Tuesday near the Market Basket store at Stadium Plaza.
Most Market Basket customers are boycotting stores until the supermarket chain's ousted CEO, Arthur T. Demoulas, is returned to power. Some workers are picketing stores during their off hours, while some have stayed off the job.
Earlier rallies drew thousands of workers from three New England states, including New Hampshire.
Market Basket operates about 30 stores in the Granite State. The company's co-CEOs ordered all workers to be back to work Monday or face being replaced. The company also will be conducting a three-day job fair starting Monday in Andover, Mass.
