Legislation aimed at fixing a land use dispute in Oregon appears headed for a vote in the state House.
The bill, HB 4078, was approved by the House Rules Committee with a "do pass" recommendation on Feb. 27.
Its progress in the legislature may resolve disputes that have stalled land use planning in the Portland metropolitan region for several years.
"I can't remember the last time as diverse a group as this supported anything on land use," said Val Hoyle, D-Eugene, chair of the House Rules Committee.
The Oregon Court of Appeals recently overturned a land use plan for the Portland region that was approved in 2012 by the state's Land Development and Conservation Commission.
The plan laid out "rural reserves," within which farmland would be protected, and "urban reserves" that would be available for development.
The boundaries of the reserves were opposed by some nonprofits, property owners and cities.
Metro, a regional government for the Portland area, initially opposed legislative action to change the boundaries.
Once the court ruling made it clear the planning process would be greatly delayed, however, Metro signed onto an amended version of the bill.
The major boundary revisions are within Washington County:
• Two tracts north of Hillsboro that were previously designated as rural reserves were switched to urban reserves.
• Two tracts to the northwest of that city previously designated as urban reserves were turned into rural reserves, but Hillsboro's urban growth boundary was expanded onto one of those tracts.
• A tract north of Cornelius was changed from an urban reserve to a rural reserve.
• Roughly half of an urban reserve north of Forest Grove was switched to a rural reserve, while the remaining part was included in that city's urban growth boundary.
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Brian Clem, D-Salem, and Rep. John Davis, R-Wilsonville.
The amended version has won support from an array of stakeholders, including the Oregon Farm Bureau, the 1,000 Friends of Oregon conservation group and the Oregonians In Action property rights group.

Steelers Gear for the Pittsburgh Steelers Nation
In the National Football League, only a few teams can match the history and legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers. One of the teams that can be considered as among the signature franchises of the league, the Steelers has won championships in different eras (six to be exact, which is still a record in the Super Bowl era). In addition, a lot of American Football legends have worn the legendary "black and gold" jersey on their way to greatness. It's this tradition of excellence that allowed them to gain a huge fan base. And there's no better way to show your support for the Steelers than by wearing Pittsburgh Steelers gear.
The popularity of sports fan apparel is constantly rising over the last few years. Not only is it becoming a very popular trend in fashion, but it is also a great way to show support for your favorite team. It is also a great gift idea for people of all ages. And with the collectability of these items constantly rising, more and more of these team-inspired clothing lines are surfacing worldwide. And given the wild popularity of American football in the US (and in some parts of the globe), it's a no-brainer that football-themed apparel will also be very popular.
Pittsburgh Steelers fan apparel can come in different forms, with different products aimed for the men, women, and children. The best thing about these clothing products is you can choose to wear them at the stadium during the games, while playing football yourself, or even while you're strolling at the mall or park. Wearing any item in the Steelers clothing line is a sure-fire way to show your support for the Steelers.
The main course when it comes to fan gear is the in-game clothing line. These clothes are a surefire way to make you feel like you're a member of the Steelers. These replicas are designed to accurately replicate what your favorite players wear while they are on the playing field.
An in-game apparel product line will not be complete without game jerseys. These shirts, designed to accurately copy what the players wear during the games, is a great way to show your support for your favorite team and player. Because authentic jerseys are created to replicate what the players wear, they are an excellent choice to wear during a game of football. But even when you're not on the field, they are very much fashionable. Whether you are rocking it at Heinz Field or at your backyard, it's the type of clothes you'll wear when you want to make a statement. Steeler jerseys of both current stars such as Ben Roethlisberger and legends such as Terry Bradshaw are available.
But in-game apparel can go beyond the jerseys these players wear. Warm-up jackets are very popular purchases, especially during wintertime. Just like authentic jerseys, you'll feel like you're among the players when you're wearing these. You can also get the same pants the players wear during gridiron competition. Even the distinguishing helmets Steeler players wear during the game can be had by hardcore fans. With the help of these in-game clothes, you can take the field while wearing your fandom on your sleeve.
But even those who are not interested (or at least unable) in playing football can join the fun when it comes to fan apparel. Sports teams as well as apparel makers have seen the huge marketing potential of creating fan apparel that can be worn outside of the playing field. Casual wear bearing anything related to the Pittsburgh Steelers are very popular, and for good reason.
The most common and best-selling type of off-field team apparel is the T-shirt. This versatile piece of clothing can be found in all kinds of colors, can be worn with just about any kind of outfit, and can be worn in just about any type of occasion. Their designs can be as simple as a small team insignia and can be as elaborate as a full-shirt print. Occasionally, shirts commemorating a team/player achievement are made available, and can sell out pretty quickly. Regardless of the taste of the person, it's a virtual guarantee that he/she can find a shirt that can fit his/her expectations. And best of all, most of these shirts are very affordable.
For those who like headwear, caps and bonnets bearing the Steelers insignia is an excellent choice. Providing equal parts weather protection and fashion sense, these pieces of headwear are very popular for both the young and old alike. You can pair them with other Steelers-themed merchandise to get you ready for game time. You can also pair them with non-Steelers-themed clothing and you'll still look good doing it. They are very popular for good reason, and it's only a matter of wearing them the right way.
In cities such as Pittsburgh, the weather can get occasionally cold. Common sense would tell us that we'll need to have weather protection especially during winter and rainy days. During these situations, jackets and hoodies are very popular pieces of clothing. Members of Steeler Nation won't have to worry that they can't show their support for the team during these weather doldrums because weatherproof Steeler apparel does exist. Ranging from hoodies to windbreakers, these clothes would allow you to show your support for your favorite team even during inclement weather. And to top it off, most of them are very fashionable to boot.
Buying Pittsburgh Steelers gear is a great idea in different levels. If you are a big fan of the team, wearing their apparel is the best way to show it to the world. Also, they are great gift ideas for people who love the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh in general. Not only are these clothes a great way to make a statement, but they are also fast becoming valuable collector's items. Members of Steeler Nation as well as sports enthusiasts in general will definitely get a kick in having one of these items in their closet.

The debt ceiling: Right fight, wrong time
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives need to take a firm stand against Washington's reckless spending habits. They just need to find a better place to make that stand than from atop the debt ceiling.
House Republicans want President Obama to agree to spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling (which allows the federal government to continue borrowing money). The President says there is no way he will do that. As he put it at Monday's press conference, you don't go to dinner and then skip out on the tab. But once you have maxed out your credit cards, shouldn't you stop eating out?
The Republicans view the debt ceiling increase as their one chance to squeeze spending concessions from a President who otherwise will never agree to reduce federal appropriations. The trouble with forcing that standoff is that Republicans cannot win it. Obama will stand firm, and they will have to flinch or shut down the government. Either way, Obama wins and Republicans lose more credibility, which makes it harder to force a showdown on spending on more favorable ground in the future.
Of course, default is not inevitable should the ceiling not be raised. As Bloomberg View columnist Caroline Baum wrote in these pages on Tuesday, if Congress does not authorize more borrowing, the administration can pay our debts with current tax revenues, thereby avoiding default. Obama just has to stop paying for a lot of other things, including entitlements. But Republicans won't win this political battle by trying to explain that technical point in 20-second snippets on the evening news.
A responsible President would have put the federal government on the path to a balanced budget by now. Obama has no desire to do that, which means Republicans will have to force his hand at some point. This is not that point.

My Bloody Valentine: Special Edition (US - DVD R1)
Gabe is giddy at the prospect of an uncut version of the slasher 'classic'
Just in time for the release of their 3D theatrical remake, Lionsgate has re-released My Bloody Valentine, the story of a small town's second worst Valentine 's Day ever. Twenty one years after a tragic mining accident, and twenty years after the following massacre, a box of candy shows up on the Sheriff's desk with a human heart and a warning to not hold a Valentine's Day dance… or else. Of course, the local youth throw a party anyway, and the blood starts to flow.
Long before you kids had your 'Torture Porn' craze there was a massive influx of a new generation of horror films dubbed 'Slashers'. The genre started with Psycho and giallo inspired thrillers like Bob Clark's Black Christmas and John Carpenter's Halloween, but everything changed when major studio player Paramount joined forces with exploitation newbie Sean Cunningham produced and director Friday the 13th, which was less concerned with suspense than grim and gory violence. The film was released to great success internationally, and lead to a million quickie rip-offs.
Having (in some eyes) set the kindle that started the boom with Clark's Black Christmas in 1974, the Canadian film industry became a player in the early '80s during the genre's biggest influx, and the country's entries are among the favourites with fans, including Prom Night, Happy Birthday to Me, The Burning (a personal favourite), Terror Train, and My Bloody Valentine. My Bloody Valentine stands out as a prototypical 'holiday-themed' slasher, which was one of the two most popular themes for the genre, the other being summer camp. Almost all slasher's feature a revenge motivated killer, but holiday themed slashers tend to involve more elaborate mysteries behind the killings, like April Fool's Day, where the authenticity of the murders is constantly in question.
My Bloody Valentine fulfils all the tropes of the genre set forth by Carpenter and Cunningham, including a local legend that sets up the killer's inspiration, characters ignoring the warnings to pursue sex and drugs, a masked killer whose identity isn't really important (though it's a slightly important reveal this time around), several false scares, and a handful of gory human mutilations. The film sets itself apart in two categories—that of the average age of the characters, which is closer to thirty instead of the normal under twenty-one (though an older police chief or father figure of some kind is very common to the genre), and the viciousness of its gore compared to several of the more popular, American made slashers.
The older characters are generally more concerned with romance than their late teenage counterparts, leading to a pretty thick sub-plot involving a rather adult (and somewhat tragic) love triangle. This would point to a slightly more 'classy' film, though unfortunately not a particularly clever one, which probably lost the older audience the film was likely aiming for, but still endears it a bit to those of us bored with the usual teens in peril plots. The increased frequency of violence, on the other hand, was probably just an attempt at one-upping Friday the 13th.
The MPAA famously cracked down on slasher violence after the release of the first Friday, so most of My Bloody Valentine's really vile bits were cut for an R-rating when released. This new release is cause for celebration among fans, as it marks the first time the nearly ten minutes of deleted violence have been reinstated for video release. With the footage the film crosses the line from 'better than average' to 'genuinely memorable'.
Lionsgate haven't gone out of their way to re-clean the image already presented by Paramount on anamorphic disc, but there's no cause for complaint, as the film continues to look good for its age. Colours are generally bright and realistic, with minimal compression noise, though print damage, film grain, and the occasional artefact can be a problem. Details are sharp enough to tell what's going on during the darker moments, which were entirely obscured on old VHS copies, and edge enhancement is minimal. The image quality does noticeably change during the reinstated gore scenes, which is understandable considering the almost lost nature of the footage. During these scenes contrast levels increase, the print's warmth is pushed, and a whole lot more grain and print damage becomes noticeable.
Lionsgate has unnecessarily revamped the original mono audio track into an awkward, and largely centred 5.1 track. The only advantage of the new track is the increased bass, which is surprisingly crisp, otherwise the stereo and surround effects are few and far between. Mostly the revamp applies to the musical tracks, which are now somewhat separated, and a few vague background effects. Mostly, though, one could flip between the tracks without even knowing where they'd stopped, and some of the new attempts at spatial representation are flat and scrappy. The sound also suffers a few inconsistencies during the re-instated scenes, but nothing comparable to the difference in video quality.
The extras begin with 'Bloodlust', a twenty-minute behind the scenes look at the film and a brief history of slashers. Slasher expert, and author of 'Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film' Adam Rockoff runs us through the genre's history very briefly (better than I did, I should probably read his book some day), and places My Bloody Valentine in its rightful place among its brethren. The behind the scenes information is meek, but fun, including an emphasis placed on the film's authenticity concerning the working class characters, and the use of a real life mine, both of which are elements that help set the film apart from the masses. There's also an emphasis on the film's excised effects. The latter section of the featurette is an ad for the new film, which should be fun simply considering it's in 3D.
Next up are the ten deleted, just in case you made the mistake of watching the theatrical version of the film. Each scene comes with an introduction featuring director George Mihalka, and/or various cast and crew members. The commentators talk briefly about how they did the effects, and Minhalka chats a bit about the cause of the deletion. Interestingly the director blames the MPAA crackdown on the murder of John Lennon, which was a theory I hadn't personally been privy to in the past. Missing from the scene selection is a 'play-all' option.
'Bloodlines: An Interactive Horror Film History' sounds like a pretty lame extra, and it's entirely text based, but even this easy-chair, amateur expert is impressed with the basic make-up of the slasher family tree, which includes sections for Gialli, H.G. Lewis, and the Rape/Revenge genre. I shouldn't be surprised considering Rockoff's inclusion in the disc's production. A group of Lions Gate new release trailers finishes things up.
If you like classic slashers you probably already like My Bloody Valentine. This disc is your chance to discover the movie the MPAA kept from you for over a quarter century, and it really does make all the difference. The disc's extras and the A/V quality are plenty satisfying, but I suppose if you aren't a fan of the genre the film's treatment will make no difference in your purchase choice.

Well MY Bloody Valentine was released before 'Friday the 13th Part 2".
You're right, I misread. There was a three month difference.

i just saw the remake on 3D and it's really good... it's not the best slasher movie, but it's a good one... the joy of watching a horror movie on 3D was amazing... but the lines were long as hell... we couldnt find a place to park, it was full... and we had to wait 30 min to get in... but over all, it was awesome!!! =)

Cool review. But major mistake regarding the extra footage. It's nearer 3 minutes, not 10. (see 'Shocktillyoudrop' interview with Peter Ventrella)
The ten minutes refers to the length when watching them as 'deleted scenes'. I assumed that the stuff marked as deleted was all deleted, it's been too long since I saw the R-rated version to compare.

Old classics like these should not be remade....
Excellent make up work for the time...

The updated 3D version was awesome (even though I had to pay) but one thing irked me...the "plot twist" at the end...I was all "WTF?" & they totally set it up for "Still My Bloody Valentine"

Isn't a quarter of a decade only two and a half years? And the movie came out in 1981?
obviously that should say a quarter century.

This was an improvement over Paramounts version - I love the uncut scenes and made the movie a lot stronger. It is a lot better than the Friday the 13th Series (after part 3) as well as Halloween 4-6 (just my opinion having sat through these to my chagrin) This is an above average slasher movie

Made in the USA: Cheeses to Celebrate Independence Day
Celebrate Independence Day with a cheese plate that is "Made in the USA!" Tripp, domestic cheese buyer in our Cambridge shop, is recommending four cheeses for this July 4th ("four for the fourth!"). All of the cheeses hail from Vermont and represent varying textures, styles and milk types. Whether you try one or all of these cheeses, we think you'll be as impressed with what is happening on the American cheese scene as we are!
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar – Cellars at Jasper Hill
Our domestic cheese buyers work very closely with the Cellars at Jasper Hill to source the best-tasting wheels of Cabot Clothbound – we're the only shop to regularly make the trip to Vermont to personally taste and select our batches of the cheese. The end result is a rich, buttery English-style cheddar with notes of sweet cream and toasted nuts. Jasper Hill's cheeses were a staff top 10 pick in our 2011 survey – in large part because of this cheese.
Blue Ledge Farm is a small, family owned and operated goat dairy. A line of vegetable ash runs through the center of this cheese which is both creamy and gently tangy, with a hint of salt on the finish. It pairs beautifully with a drizzle of honey and a glass of fruity rosé.
Michael Lee has a herd of 30 goats on his farm in Cornwall, VT, and he makes some of our favorite goat milk cheeses.
The Goat Tomme could be considered one of the farm's signature cheeses – earthy, mushroomy and herbal – it is excellent by itself but also pairs well with apple cider jelly or pear confiture.
Cheesemaker Peter Dixon (a cornerstone of the Vermont cheesemaking world) uses milk from nearby Jersey Girl Farm to make this cheese and all of Consider Bardwell's cow milk cheeses. Dorset is washed as it ages – the resulting texture is rich and buttery with flavors that are lightly sharp and deeply savory. Notes of nuts and hay mean it pairs well with a German lager.

Efficiency should never be a goal in itself.
I've always been fascinated by the "how" of creativity. How people get ideas is, at times, more interesting than the things they wind up creating.
When I've interviewed inventors at the Minnesota Inventors Congress, a surprisingly large percentage said they get their best ideas when they're half or fully asleep.
Art Fry, the inventor of Post-it notes, said, "One thing that works for me is to go to bed, and tell my mind to work on it."
Jim Nesburg said, "I used to work as a design draftsman. Sometimes I'd wake up at three or four in the morning, and the idea is there."
Harold Fratzke, who's patented several dozen inventions, said, "Sometimes I've gone to bed not knowing how to solve something, and when I woke up, I knew."
Fratzke also added that he's a farmer, "so when you're sitting in a cab all day, you've got a lot of time to think."
Carol Ford, who invented a ring laser gyroscope that helps airplanes and spaceships navigate, said she gets her best ideas when she's in the shower.
The thing all their flashes of insight had in common was, they were "doing nothing" at the time.
I've noticed I"m often at my most creative when I give myself permission to just sit, drink a warm beverage, stare at a blank wall, and let my mind wander for half an hour.
The key words there are, "give myself permission."
In our efficiency-obsessed culture, giving yourself time to sit and let your mind wander is something you have to give yourself permission to do.
Christopher Robin, the little boy in the Winnie-the-Pooh books, was based on a real little boy. When he grew up, he wrote several books of his own.
In one essay he mentioned he did some of his best thinking while he was cleaning up the dishes after dinner.
Christopher Milne said he used to obsess over trying to find the best, most efficient way to carry the dishes from the table to the sink.
Should he try balancing four dishes at once? Could he carry a coffee cup on the end of his thumb? Maybe he could put the silverware in a bowl, and one less trip....
Then one day he realized he was getting himself more stressed out trying to be "efficient" than he would have just making a few more trips. Who does it hurt if you end up making seven trips back and forth to the sink instead of four?
And during those stress-free seven or eight trips, when his body was on automatic pilot doing a menial task, he did some of his best thinking of the day.
The other side of giving yourself permission to do "nothing" is turning off all the distractions.
With the Internet, computer games, TV, etc., etc., ETC., our culture seems more and more designed to give people any excuse they can find not to have any genuine peace and quiet.
What are they afraid they might find?

Business magnate Larry Ellison thinks that without Steve Jobs -- "our Edison" and "our Picasso" -- Apple corporation is in trouble.
Larry Ellison was one of Jobs' closest friends. Then again, this is the same Ellison who presided over one of the most idiotic and - for Oracle - disastrous lawsuits in technology history.
Update: A few new tidbits from the interview: Google is "completely evil" because of Java, and the mass surveillance by the US government is "absolutely necessary". So, aside from being utterly delusional (the Google and Java thing), he also does not believe in civil rights, and would much rather everyone give up their privacy and right to free speech.
What a tool. No wonder nobody cares about Oracle.

The services required to keep soil and water healthy are much like the services required to keep a child healthy.
The services required to keep soil and water healthy are much like the services required to keep a child healthy. Soil and water cannot come into the doctor's office to get care; but professionally trained soil and water specialists can make care plans for soil and water health. Of course, it is the responsibility of the landowner to see that they are implemented.
Professionally trained staff waits in your Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) for landowners to come in to seek technical assistance for managing the health of the soil and water in their care. Landowners can come in when they realize that soil and water health has deteriorated and gets technical assistance for remediation. A better plan is for landowners to seek help to keep good quality soil and water healthy. Comprehensive soil and water management plans are available for the asking.
SWCD uses aerial photos to study overall soil and water conditions. The staff does make "house calls" when it is necessary. When services are requested, they may make an on-site visit to check on the soil and water that will help determine treatment options. Just as when you go to the doctor, taking those suggestions is voluntary.
Financial assistance for maintenance or remediation of soil and water health is available to landowners through local, state, and federal partners of the SWCD. The staff keeps informed of available programs providing cost-share dollars and helps landowners prepare the necessary paperwork to apply for this funding. When financial assistance is involved, the staff sometimes finds it necessary to notify the landowner that an on-site visit is required to assure that the treatment plan is being implemented.
Like doctors have partners, so does SWCD. A major partner with SWCD for programs and services is the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Together they are involved in providing technical services to landowners. Payments to landowners through government programs are dependent on conservation plans that are developed by SWCD and NRCS. Many other partners include county and city governments, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, large and small watershed partnerships, SWCD Land Use councils, Resource Conservation and Development Councils, state associations, UI Extension Service, health departments, and numerous not-for-profit conservation groups.
Just as in any health care program, education is essential. Workshops and informational tours are always on SWCD calendars. SWCDs and many partners maintain websites. Newsletters are distributed to all interested constituents.
Working behind the scenes for SWCD, a volunteer board manages budgets and personnel, maintains equipment for rental, and approves conservation plans. Staff adds support by organizing fish and tree sales, and providing field and office services.
Get a checkup. Stop by your Soil and Water Conservation District office for a consultation.

John Habib's City Sports: For retiring coach Eddie Poisson, the friendships always last
July 12. 2013 8:47PM
Eddie Poisson has always called the New Hampshire Union Leader to report the results of his games. Win or lose, whether he was the head baseball coach of Trinity High, Post 79 or the girls' basketball coach at Manchester West, Poisson always called, home or away.
Last Monday, Poisson called in a Post 79 American Legion game, but the phone call lasted an hour and ended on an emotional note.
"It's true. I'm done," said Poisson, who has stepped down as the head coach of the Trinity baseball program after 27 seasons. Add another 14 seasons he spent serving as an assistant coach under Bob Kerrigan at Manchester West and Poisson walks away with memories of 41 high school baseball seasons.
"It's a good time to walk away," said the 61-year-old coach, his voice at times reaching an emotional pitch. "I have a 7-year-old grandson (Lucas) who I want to see play baseball and a 9-year-old granddaughter who loves to swim. It's hard to leave something I love to do, but I have no regrets about anything. For 41 years, I've had a wonderful career."
Names kept surfacing during the hour over the phone. When coaching with Kerrigan, Poisson spoke in high praise of former West players Gary Nutter, Mike Croteau, Steve Veilleux, Paul Bergeron, John Tippett, Greg Larocca and the LaRose boys, Steve, Greg and Chris.
"I played for Bob Kerrigan and I was fortunate to coach with him for 14 seasons,' said Poisson, who took over the Trinity program in 1988 after Paul Lemire resigned from the post. Poisson coached Trinity to three Class L championship game appearances, losing to Nashua (1991) and Merrimack (2007) and beating the Purple Panthers in 1992 behind the one-two pitching punch of Chris Carpenter and Peter Foye.
"That '92 team was the best I've coached," said Poisson. "You've got those two (Foye and Carpenter) and Brian Larochelle, Peter McCarthy, Dan Van Mullen, Steve Sewell, Ricky Sewell, Seth Reynolds, Keith Bergeron and Shane Laporte. Foye threw a no-hitter in the quarters (against Pinkerton of Derry) and a three-hitter in the finals (against Nashua). Carpenter had a one-hitter in the prelims (against Winnacunnet of Hampton) and a one-hitter in the semis (against Dover). We gave up five hits in four tournament games. We finished 20-2 overall that season."
Poisson will admit not everything was rosy during his coaching career. He had his share of grief and frustration from umpires and parents alike, but he said he did things his way in the best interest of the kids.
"My goal was never to hurt anyone," he said. "I am a demanding coach and I always believed the way you practiced was the way you were going to play in a game. Practices were my classroom and that's where I demanded effort. Some kids responded well to it and others not so well. But I have had people who I coached 20 years ago come back and tell me they had fun playing for me."
Poisson said he was fortunate to coach against some of the very best, like the late Warren Doane of Concord, Tom Fowler of Keene, Hugo Bolin of Spaulding, Ron Manseau of Pinkerton, Mike Lee of Alvirne, Bill Dod (formerly at Bishop Guertin of Nashua, now at Souhegan of Amherst), Wayne Sanderson at Manchester Central and Jim Morgan at Manchester Memorial.
While John Robinson, Lemire, Keith McDonald and Moe Bilodeau drew high praise from Poisson, he said "the best assistant coach I had was Kenny McDonald for 22 seasons. He loves baseball as much as I do and I enjoyed every moment with him."
Poisson coached two players, both pitchers, who made it to the major leagues. Carpenter and Jeff Fulchino.
"The Fulchinos invited me to Houston for a three-game series to see Jeff play a few years back and it happened to be when Carpenter was in town with St. Louis," said Poisson. "I saw Jeff pitch one scoreless inning in relief. I saw Chris pitch eight innings and not get the decision when the closer blew the save in the ninth. After the final game of the series, I saw both players outside the locker room and each of them gave me a hug. It was a special moment I will never forget."
Poisson leaves Trinity with great respect for principal Denis Mailloux and recalled his football coaching days with Nick Vailas, Dick Powers, Peter Bergeron and Pat O'Neil at Trinity. He also coached with Paul Lavigne and Kerrigan at West.
Poisson also mentioned the Trinity High Jayvee Baseball Tournament he organized for 18 straight seasons, working with the New Hampshire Baseball Umpires Association led by Tom Fischer, Bob Skinner and Jim Walsh.
As Poisson reflected on his 41 years of baseball, which will officially end with Post 79 this season as an assistant coach (he coached the program previously as head coach for two seasons), he returned to his roots, his family.
"My father died in a Connecticut hospital the day I coached my first varsity game with Trinity," he said. "My mom saw me coach at Trinity for one year before she turned blind and died five years later. My wife of 36 years, Pat, has stood by me every step of the way, even though she never liked baseball. I'm also blessed to have two sons (Kyle and Zach)."
When talking about Zach, Poisson's voice cracked with emotion when he said "he played for me and I was probably more demanding of him than anyone I ever coached. I was tough on him because I didn't want anyone to say he was getting a free ride to play at Trinity. I made him earn it. And I hope all the players, past and present, know I always considered them family. A baseball family near and dear to my heart."

Nashua police investigating untimely deathBy Kimberly Houghton
Union Leader Correspondent
March 22. 2013 8:26AM
NASHUA - Police say they discovered the body of a man at 29 Cadogan Way on Thursday night following an unfounded hazardous materials situation.
"It was an untimely death," Sgt. Joseph Molinari said on Friday morning.
A hazardous materials disposal crew and bomb squad responded to the residence around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday over concerns about possible chemicals on the property. Residents were evacuated from the area as a precaution, according to police, who said nothing suspicious or criminal in nature was located.
According to Molinari, the man's death does not appear to be suspicious at this time.
"But it is still an ongoing investigation," said Molinari.

Manchester man says Weare police violated his civil rightsBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 28. 2013 9:56PM
Facing at least two pending lawsuits, the town of Weare and several police officers were slapped with another complaint - this time by a Manchester man who says police violated his civil rights when they arrested him for video-taping a motor vehicle stop three years ago.
William Rodriguez claims in the nine-count suit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Concord that police wrongly arrested even though he was video-recording from a school parking lot a "significant distance away."
The traffic stop resulted in the arrests of Rodriguez's two acquaintances, Tyler Hanslin and Carla Gericke, on March 24, 2010. Gericke is president of the Free State Project and Rodriguez is a member of the group, which promotes itself as "pro-liberty activists" who favor limited government and individual liberties.
Rodriguez, who is in his 40s, claims his rights were further violated when he went to post bail for Gericke at the Weare Safety Center. According to his complaint, police accused him of recording on his camera and ordered him to leave.
As he walked out the door, Rodriguez "muttered some mild profanities under his breath" and was pursued by Police Lt. James Carney, who pointed a weapon at him, told him he was under arrest and ordered him to lie on the ground, the suit alleges.
Police seized Rodriguez's video camera, held him several hours overnight while lecturing him "about the sacrifices some of the Weare police officers made in Iraq," the suit claims.
Rodriguez was charged the next day with felony wiretapping for video-recording the traffic stop, disorderly conduct and breach of bail conditions. The town's prosecutor dropped the charges before trial, the suit says.
Still, the state kept Rodriguez's camera, indicating felony wiretapping charges would be referred to the Hillsborough County Attorney's Office for possible indictment. The camera still has not been returned despite a state court order to do so, the suit says.
"The Weare police department, I think, needs to get its house in order," Rodriguez's attorney Brandon D. Ross of Manchester said Thursday.
"As a pattern of practice, this use of wiretapping charges to stop people from recording things...is a very bad thing and they should not be doing these things," the attorney added.
Weare Police Chief Gregory C. Begin referred media inquiries to the town's attorney, Charles P. Bauer, of Concord.
"I'm not going to be able to comment. I would love to," the chief said.
Bauer did not return calls for comment Thursday.
Asked why Rodriguez waited nearly three years to file suit, Ross said "it was largely a strategic defense of my client."
Sgt. Joseph Kelley pulled over Tyler Hanslin for speeding about 11:30 p.m., according to court papers. Hanslin was "verbally abusive" and had a Glock 9 mm semi-automatic tucked in his waistband, the town's attorney, Bauer, wrote in his appeal to the First Circuit Court in Boston of the U.S. District Court's partial summary judgment in Gerick's federal suit against the town.
Gericke pulled up behind the cruiser, questioned the validity of the stop, then moved her car to a nearby parking lot and claimed to be video-recording the officer even though she knew her camera wasn't working, Bauer continued. The case is pending appeal.
Hanslin and Gericke were arrested. Gericke was charged with disobeying a police officer, obstructing a government official, and violating the state's wiretapping law. The charges against her were dismissed prior to a probable cause hearing set for May 25, 2010.
Another suit filed by former Weare Police Sgt. Louis R. Chatel Jr. against the town, its police department and several police officers and selectmen is still pending in Hillsborough County Superior Court. The former officer alleges he was harassed and intimated for exercising his free speech rights.

Suspension Shock or Strut Assembly Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a front strut or shock absorber?
While they serve similar purposes in your suspension system, struts and shocks are actually different parts.
Struts are a structural part of the suspension system that support the weight of the vehicle. In many cases, struts are also part of the steering system, pivoting whenever the steering wheel is turned.
Shocks do not support the vehicle weight, nor are they part of the steering system. They only provide vehicle dampening by controlling spring and suspension movement.
How does the front strut or shock absorber work?
A loaded front strut assembly, often called a MacPherson strut, consists of a coil spring and a shock absorber. The coil spring is in place to support the weight of the vehicle and to absorb large bumps. It allows the front suspension to travel up and down so that the vehicle body can remain stable. The shock absorber runs through the center of the spring and eases smaller bumps, dampens vibrations, and lends stability to the vehicle.
The top of the strut assembly bolts to the vehicle body in the strut tower, where it is able to pivot when the steering wheel is turned. The bottom is connected (by way of the steering knuckle) to the lower control arm and wheel hub. The strut assembly allows the vehicle suspension to rotate while it absorbs impact from rough terrain, helps maintain contact between the tires and the ground, and offers a smoother ride for passengers.
Find a Certified Mechanic
What are the symptoms related to a bad front strut/shock absorber?
Worn front struts result in diminished ride quality that might feel "soft," as the vehicle leans excessively during turns, and bounces over bumps. The shock absorber in the strut may leak when it is worn. The strut may also cause a knocking or rattling sound if it is worn, damaged, or broken. If the vehicle leans excessively in turns, and bounces up and down over bumps, the struts are likely worn. If the strut rattles or knocks over bumps, it may be broken.
Can I drive with a front strut/shock absorber problem?
A vehicle with worn front struts can be driven, but the ride quality will be diminished, and, more importantly, the vehicle's handling will be compromised. A car's ability to remain level while turning, with traction spread between all four wheels, is dependent on the struts. As the condition of the front struts worsens, the ability of the suspension to perform properly, especially in an emergency situation, also worsens. Loss of control and chance of vehicle rollover can be the result of severely worn struts. If a front strut is broken (rather than worn), the vehicle should not be driven until the strut can be replaced.
How often do front strut/shock absorbers need to be replaced?
There is no replacement schedule for front struts, through many vehicles will need to have them changed at some point. Rough driving habits may shorten the life of these parts. Struts may need to be replaced anywhere between 50k and 100k miles. If at any time the struts are leaking, broken, or damaged, they should be replaced immediately. Struts should always be replaced in pairs.
Costs for related repairs
How are front strut/shock absorber issues diagnosed?
Worn, damaged, or broken front struts are diagnosed in a number of ways. If the vehicle has excessive play in the suspension - if the vehicle bounces easily up and down - the struts are likely worn. Many times, a strut is diagnosed when a technician is replacing other, related parts. A damaged strut may also be discovered during a four wheel alignment.
How is a front strut/shock absorber replaced?
To change a front strut, a technician first needs to lift and support the vehicle with a hoist (or a jack and jack stands) and remove the front wheel. The brake caliper and rotor are removed and the sway bar link is disconnected. The technician then disconnects the strut from the steering knuckle and from the strut tower to remove it from the vehicle. If the entire strut assembly is being replaced, installation is relatively simple. On the other hand, it is common to reuse the coil spring from the old assembly. In this case, the worn strut will need to be compressed and disassembled, and the new strut will need to be put together before it is installed.
RepairPal Recommendations for front strut/shock absorber issues
RepairPal recommends replacing the front struts in pairs. The ride quality and performance of the vehicle will be significantly altered if the struts do not match in type and quality. Prior to replacement of the struts, a full inspection of the steering and suspension should be performed to identify any other needed repairs. This will cut down the labor costs when compared to replacing the worn parts separately. Also, we recommend a four-wheel alignment when struts are replaced. The new struts can change the vehicle's ride height, which will change the wheel alignment.
What to look out for when dealing with front strut/shock absorber issues
If the front struts are damaged, the wheel alignment of the vehicle will be impaired. During replacement, it may be necessary to compress the old strut. This involves compressing the coil spring so that the strut assembly can be disassembled. From the time that the old strut is disassembled to the time the new strut is assembled, the compressed coil spring is extremely dangerous. If the spring slips from the spring compressor (used to apply tension to the spring), it could cause serious injury. Also, the vehicle needs to be safely lifted and supported off the ground to complete this repair.
Can I replace the front strut/shock absorber myself?
Replacing the entire front strut assembly as a unit could be considered an intermediate DIY repair. On the other hand, if the coil spring is to be transferred from the old strut to the new strut, this repair should only be attempted by an advanced DIYer, or left to a professional technician.

LINDEN - An FBI team excavating an old well in Linden for the remains of murder victims reported on its third day of work Wednesday that it hit its first challenge - it can't find the well's bottom.
LINDEN - An FBI team excavating an old well in Linden for the remains of murder victims reported on its third day of work Wednesday that it hit its first challenge - it can't find the well's bottom.
Work began Monday in an ongoing search for the murder victims of convicted serial killer Wesley Shermantine and his partner in crime, Loren Herzog. The pair grew up in Linden and led a 15-year, methamphetamine-fueled killing spree.
Also Wednesday, the California Department of Justice lab that had been testing a bone fragment found last year in another well to determine if it might be the remains of a kidnapped Hayward girl missing since 1988 said it did not belong to her but to a previously identified victim.
The fragment in question was recovered by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office last year and was among thousands of bone fragments found.
Remains in the well were identified by the Sheriff's Office as those of Kimberly Billy, 19; JoAnn Hobson, 16; an unidentified woman from the ages of 16 to 18; and a fetus. The lab did not identify to whom the remains belonged other than to say they belonged to a previously identified victim, according to a report on KGO Channel 7.
Sacramento's News 10 reported that Sharon Murch, mother of the missing Michaela Garecht, said the fragment belonged to Billy.
Hobson's mother, Joan Shelley, had criticized the Sheriff's Office's handling of the recovery effort and had suspected the remains she received weren't her daughter's. She had sent the bones for independent testing, and Eric Bartelink, director of the Human Identification Laboratory at California State University, Chico, conducted a DNA analysis.
Bartelink claims in his report that "significant commingling" of the skeletal remains occurred due to the use of earth-moving equipment during the excavation. The report further alleges there could be more than the three people and fetus the state lab had initially identified.
He speculated that some of the fragments were from a child from the ages of 5 to 14, which led to speculation about Michaela, who was 9 when she disappeared.
"We shall await the final report, but our heart goes out to Michaela Garecht's family," Sheriff Steve Moore said.
The FBI has taken over any further searches in Linden and is trying to figure out what it's dealing with at a second well.
At a depth of 75 feet, boring equipment used Tuesday was still pulling up fill soil, and a camera dropped down also showed no debris, FBI spokeswoman Gina Swankie said in a news release.
Today, the team is expected to bring in more equipment in an effort to determine the actual bottom of the well and find the hardpan bottom, she said. This week's work marks a second phase in the search for murder victims.
One year ago, Herzog hanged himself, and investigators next recovered the remains of three women and a fetus in a well nearby based on information provided by Shermantine, who finally revealed the information after more than a decade on death row.
The FBI briefly took Shermantine off death row in August to point to more burial locations. Investigators said they believe they will find the remains of one or more victims at the current dig site on Flood Road.

Looking back over the events of last week, we had a number of agricultural groups at the Capitol. I was very honored to receive the Pinnacle Award, the top legislative award from the Colorado Farm Bureau, and I was invited to speak with the Rocky Mountain Farmer's Union membership about current legislative issues and bills. The Colorado Association of Wheatgrowers also held their legislative day.
While the vast majority of Colorado's population is urban, it's important for all legislators to know that the agricultural industry contributes $40 billion to Colorado's economy and supports 170,000 jobs.
Although the snowy weather played havoc with plane schedules, it's great to see moisture at home. On the flight on Friday, the parched nature of the state was all too apparent looking out from the plane's window. A winter wildfire of about 800 acres in the southeast corner of the state broke out over the weekend, another sign of just how dry things are in Colorado.
This week, I've several bills in committee, two on the topic of wildfires. Through the Lower North Fork Wildfire Commission and stakeholder meetings since the commission's hearings, we have a bill establishing parameters for state initiated prescribed burns.
The bill incorporates Colorado's local control emphasis, but also addresses the reality of the dangers presented by the combination of statewide drought conditions and the large hazardous fuels load, easily ignited by Mother Nature or humans.
A fellow senator and I've been working closely on the bill with the director of the state's fire prevention and control division and a number of interested people, including residents of the Lower North Fork burn area, firefighters, fire chiefs, land managers from the state and national forest services and other state agencies, and agricultural and environmental groups.
We've been collecting input, concerns and proposed changes to the first draft of the bill. I hope that, by doing this outreach in advance of the bill's hearing, it will receive more support than if we'd waited to have this contact with the various stakeholders. We'll present an amended version of the bill to the Senate judiciary committee for its consideration and for public testimony to be received.
Another commission bill that I'm cosponsoring that will be heard this week creates an out-of-session (interim) legislative committee looking more broadly than the Lower North Fork commission on identifying the issues and possible proactive steps to take to address Colorado's risk of catastrophic wildfires. This committee would have a broader mission that could more fully address such areas as statewide forest health and Colorado's timber industry.
My bill on electronic participation for school board members was passed unanimously by the Senate Education committee, with an amendment expanding it to include executive sessions if local board policy allows that option. That bill now moves to the Senate floor this week for further consideration.
It will be a busy week as I'll also have in the education committee my bill seeking to expand students' supplemental online course options in a "blended learning" environment, which is using digital learning with onsite teacher support. The bill includes provision of professional development opportunities for teachers. I'm hopeful that we'll also see improved broadband access in our region as that, too, will be critical in providing all of Colorado's students, rural and urban, with the same learning opportunities.

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
There are a number of different options to create the necessary flat and level surface, and we're going to take you through four of them. All are ideal to prevent water collecting around the shed floor and damaging it. These four methods are how to lay:
- a timber base (also known as a portabase)
- a plastic base
- a paved base, and
- a concrete base
Both paved and concrete bases can't be laid straight onto soft ground and so require a sub-base. A concrete base also has a further extra step - constructing the frame or edging that supports concrete while it sets, this is known as formwork. So do bear in mind that these options can take longer to build than the timber and plastic bases.
Simply choose the one for you and read through the step-by-step advice on how to lay your shed base.

North and southbound I-35 is narrowed to one lane in each direction near the Oklahoma-Texas state line for construction of a new I-35 interchange at mile marker 3 near Thackerville.
There are currently reports of lengthy delays on southbound I-35 due to heavy congestion with higher than normal traffic volumes for Easter weekend. Drivers are urged to allow extra time traveling in this area, especially during weekends and peak travel times and consider locating an alternate route. US-77 to the east of I-35 is a suggested alternate route.

It's interesting to observe which people are singled out for admiration. When I was in school learning Latin, it baffled me that Julius Caesar was so revered. In my opinion he played a singularly negative role in Roman history. I always thought of him as a kind of destroyer.

As a young canyoneer and backpacker, Steve Allen wanted to learn more about the red rock canyon country of southern Utah. He began a desert quest that took him into some of the wildest country in America. Forty-thousand hard-hiking, boot-busting, knee-wrenching miles later, he shares his knowledge in Utahs Canyon Country Place Names, a southwestern geographical and historical magnum opus.
Allens father spent years with aborigines in the Australian Outback. His physician-mother treated cowboys in the Black Rock Desert. Allen grew up exploring the deserts of eastern Washington, northwest Nevada, Arizona and Baja Mexico. His desert roots run deep. A skilled rock climber and canyoneer, with many first ascents of vertical walls and descents of tight, twisting slot canyons, Allen also wrote Canyoneering: The San Rafael Swell, Canyoneering 2: Loop Hikes in Utahs Escalante, and Canyoneering 3: Technical Loop Hikes in Southern Utah.
His new book took 40 years to research and write, though hed been dreaming it up half his life in the pre-dawn or those last minutes of golden light on a canyon rim. For 15 years, in nine-month stretches, he base camped out of Hanksville, Utah, living in a van. My only address was P.O. Box 62, Hanksville.
Allen spent hundreds of hours in archives and research libraries all over the West, but the time he loved best was talking to that last generation of desert settlers who not only knew the country, but named it.
Luckily, I was able to do sit-down interviews with many of the classic old-time cowboys, those who had spent a lifetime on the range. Their knowledge of their piece of land was often astounding, he said.
The Durango residents two-volume Canyon Country Places Names is 750,000 words, with more than 4,000 entries that are listed from A to Z. There are careful notations about land ownership; is it public land, or is it private? There are 2,180 bibliographic references. This tombstone of a book chronicles explorers, pioneers, cowboys, miners and river runners who put names on the land in 13 Utah counties with references to three counties in northern Arizona and three in western Colorado.
Ever wonder how Wooden Shoe Buttes, Mollies Nipple or Ticaboo got their names? How about Mexican Hat, Blanding, Salvation Knoll or Hell Roaring Canyon? Allens got 12 versions of Birch Canyon, Birch Creek and Birch Spring, eight varieties of Calf Canyon and 11 place names for Cottonwood Canyon. I was shocked to discover that in southern Utah the devil has a canyon, garden, lane, monument, pocket, racetrack, slide and window all named after him. Turns out there are 20 Trail Canyons in eight Utah counties.
Allens got place names for every nook and cranny, meadow, mesa, mountain, side canyon and draw in such well-known places as Glen Canyon National Recreation Area/Lake Powell, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion national parks. But he also covers canyon areas that are less heralded such as Mancos Mesa, Lake Country, Cedar Mesa and the Dirty Devil/Robbers Roost country. And, dont forget the upland areas standing high over the canyons: the Aquarius, Awapa, Kaiparowits, Paunsaugunt, and Markagunt plateaus. Even the lofty ranges of the La Sal, Henry and Pine Valley mountains are covered.
I learned about Bachelor Basin, Bagpipe Butte, the Bears Ears, Cleopatras Chair and Harveys Fear Cliff. Allen is meticulous with his spelling and translation of Navajo and Ute place names. Who would have thought that in Navajo Comb Ridge means Mountain Sheeps Testicles?
I finally got the lowdown on how Shirt Tail Corner, Cheese & Raisins and Dead Horse Point earned their sobriquets. Research for this book is staggering. Each page brought new place name revelations from the likes of Emery Kolb, Barry Goldwater, F.V. Hayden, Kent Frost, Katie Lee, Edson Alvey, Richard Wetherill, Zane Grey, Vaughn Hadenfeldt, Pearl Baker, Neil Judd, Bert Loper, W.H. Jackson and Ed Abbey. The book offers quotes and observations from explorers, anthropologists and local ranching families, with even a few lines of poetry.
Stories attach to the land, and the pioneer quips and quotes stand out with bald humor. Pearl Bakers father, Joe Biddlecome, moved into the remote Robbers Roost country. She said he was a cowhand of such competence that he had been invited to leave western Colorado, where his cows always had two calves and sometimes his bulls showed up with calves following.
I learned about stock tanks designed and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, stock trails, mining roads, river rapids, proposed dam sites and climbers first ascents of stone towers. Allen notes that in Parunuweap Canyon near Zion National Park, Maj. John Wesley Powells 1872 descent marks the beginning of the modern-day sport of technical canyoneering in America.
In the 1890s, gold miners along the Colorado River in Glen Canyon worked placer claims. Steve Allen has worked his own claims, and this book is a wealth of local history in shiny nuggets. How did Fry Canyon get its name? Mormon pioneer Albert R. Lyman stated, In the solitude of Elk Mountain and White Canyon, a gray-bearded hermit appeared every now and then, always alone, always armed to the teeth, and always in rags and dirt beyond description. He gave the name of Charley Frye, and while he lived, good horses, especially stock horses, disappeared in a very remarkable way.
As for the barefoot beaver trapper Claud Simmons, he was described as filthy and sloppy as a man can ever get. His hands were so calloused and dirt-caked that with his fingers he could lift live coals from a campfire to light his pipe. Locals nicknamed him Tidy.
Not only does Allen know how to research and write about the Southwests public lands, he knows how to give back. For over 25 years he has been a legendary leader of donor trips for environmental groups, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for nonprofit organizations. His painstakingly planned backpack excursions change peoples lives. Hes opened their hearts and theyve opened their checkbooks.
Allen tells me, We take them to places theyve never heard of that need protection. They are wilderness-eligible lands, and they see that these landscapes are as good as anything in the national parks and that they are worthy of protection. It is very satisfying. Allen is booked a year in advance for eight to 10 annual week-long backpack trips.
Marcey Olajos, board member for Durango Nature Studies and the Center for Biological Diversity, says, Steve has the ability to make his hikers aware of the importance of protection as he leads us into fantastic places, without being preachy. He truly loves the land. I would follow him anywhere.
Ronni Egan with Great Old Broads for Wilderness says, He somehow manages to present his groups with just enough challenges for their skill and fitness levels, while maintaining safety and flexibility. One of his most remarkable talents is knowing where to find water at the end of the day in places youd swear there wasnt a drop in 100 miles.
Every generation rediscovers southwestern canyon country. In this decade, its Steve Allens two-volume Utahs Canyon Country Place Names that will teach us the most about the red rock desert and pioneers whose lasting legacy is the names they bestowed upon the land. Ill need two copies one for the shelf and one for the truck.

Police: Elliot emergency room patient kept punchingBy MARK HAYWARD and DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 09. 2013 9:29PM
MANCHESTER — An Elliot Hospital worker had his jaw broken in four places, lost four teeth and was near death following an alleged attack by a mentally ill hospital patient, according to a police investigation into the Monday assault at the hospital.
The investigation also shows that Ansel Kinglocke, 33, of 495 Old Wellington Road, had been in the hospital emergency room since Friday, awaiting an involuntary commitment to the New Hampshire Hospital. By Sunday night, he wanted to leave the locked psychiatric-examination area of the emergency room; on Monday, a patient described him as a wild man, police reported.
The attack comes as the state tries to grapple with a mental health system that critics say suffers from underfunding and bottlenecks, particularly at hospital emergency rooms. There, agitated patients can languish for days waiting for a bed to open at the 158-bed New Hampshire Hospital.
Although 12 new beds opened at the hospital in early June, the hospital waiting list was as high as 25 in the days before the Elliot attack, according to data supplied by the New Hampshire Hospital.
"We're already at capacity," said hospital Chief-Executive Robert J. MacLeod. He expects pressure will subside once other portions of a $24.7 million mental health improvement program are in place.
Meanwhile, Elliot Hospital is taking steps to staff the emergency department with a round-the-clock armed security guard, said Doug Dean, hospital president and chief-executive. An armed guard already staffs the emergency room on weekends.
"With the deluge of violence emerging in society, there is no way to eliminate the risk (of harm), only manage the potential," he said. The effort was underway before Monday's attack, he said.
Powerful punches
Kinglocke faces a first-degree assault charge stemming from the attack on Don Wyman, a licensed nursing assistant who has been with Elliot for more than two decades, Dean said.
Wyman had prevented Kinglocke from leaving the hospital and drawn the patient's ire, according to police reports. The second victim, Melissa Clermont, discovered Wyman face down on the floor in the secure area, with Kinglocke apparently trying to use Wyman's employee ID/key card to exit the area. When Kinglocke saw Clermont, he allegedly punched her in the face, which knocked her to the ground, police said.
Authorities upgraded the charge for that assault to a felony, after discovering that the punch had broken Clermont's cheekbone.
Kinglocke was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on the felony charges. He appeared calm, smiling and waving his hands, despite cuffs, to relatives in the gallery. Court records say he suffered a "boxer's" fracture to his right hand, an injury that can occur when delivering forceful punches.
At the request of Kinglocke's lawyer, Judge William Lyons scheduled a competency hearing for June 10.
Wyman is undergoing treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Hospital security guards and medical staff told police Wyman was face down and unconscious when discovered late Monday morning.
A wound in his face was filling with blood, his eyes were swollen shut, and his respirations were similar to snoring, which signaled a potentially life-threatening situation.
In ER 'too long'
Dean planned to meet with Wyman's family later in the day. He said many of the hospital staff appeared traumatized Tuesday.
"They (Wyman and Clermont) are two of our best employees," he said. "They come to work with the intention of helping people."
He said Elliot has eight hospital beds that can handle involuntary commitments, but only the New Hampshire Hospital can treat patients who exhibit assaultive behavior toward others. He applauded the additional beds at New Hampshire Hospital, but said the system still lacks the capacity to address mental health properly.
"The period of time the patient was in our emergency room, it's too long," Dean said.
Dean said hospital workers restrain violent patients according to procedures devised by Elliot staff and Manchester Community Mental Health. He was unable to provide specifics.
"To my knowledge, every protocol was being followed," Dean said. But he said the hospital will undertake a review of the attacks.
Police reports indicate that Wyman was alone with Kinglocke and another patient at the time of the attack.
At New Hampshire Hospital, workers are trained on how to restrain a patient, and a frequently used Code Gray automatically brings in campus police, who patrol the entire Hugh Gallen state office complex, MacLeod said.
The site of uniformed guards with batons, pepper spray and Tasers usually defuses the situation, MacLeod said. Workers are injured at times, but nothing to the level of Wyman's injury, MacLeod said.
A timetable provided by the state Department of Health and Human Services calls for several programs to be implemented over the coming 12 months.
They include 10 psychiatric beds at Franklin Community Hospital, psychiatric residential treatment programs, foster care for people leaving the state hospital, housing subsidies, community treatment teams and drug-abuse counseling.
Over two years, $24.7 million will be spent, a number slightly lower than a previously reported, inaccurate number of $28 million.

Colorado is slowly emerging as a spot for producing quality wine. Although the Four Corners is not the only area in the state that winemakers see fit for production, it was the only region to make the list of the Ten Most Interesting Wines of 2012, compiled by wine lover and blogger Joe Roberts.
The recognition was given to Drew for his 2011 Guy Drew Vineyards Pinot Gris. In the number 10 spot, Drew was the only winemaker from Colorado. Most of the wines on the list hailed from the most robust winemaking regions such as California, France and Spain.
Roberts met Drew at the Drink Local Wine conference in Denver in April 2012. It was here that he tasted Drew's pinot gris. The top 10 wines he chose were from those he tasted in 2012, not wines that were made in 2012. At that particular conference, Drew won media choice in the taste-off competition for that same pinot gris.
"These competitions are very objective," Drew explained. "You can send the same wine to two different competitions and one will take home a gold medal and the other will receive nothing. So this is a great honor just to have a Colorado wine, let alone my wine, get this recognition."
Roberts'website, 1winedude.com features articles and reviews on wine. He has also written wine articles for Playboy magazine.
Guy Drew Vineyards, located on County Road G, a few miles down McElmo Canyon, is where Drew has been producing wine since 2000.
It was a complete surprise to Drew to receive such an honor, considering this was the first batch of pinot gris he's ever made.
"Since I got this recognition, I have been drinking more pinot gris," Drew said with a laugh. "Just in comparison."
This particular white wine is known for its rich apple and pear flavors, sometimes coupled with lemon and spicy undertones. Depending on the producer, it can be made sweet or dry. Drew prefers a crisp, dry pinot gris - the most prevailing form of this varietal wine.
Colorado is a rather unique region for producing wine. The higher altitudes make this a great place for cultivating grapes and supplies favorable growing conditions. But like the state of Texas, which has stubbornly fixated on producing styles of cabernet sauvignon and merlot in an obviously unsuitable climate, Colorado must sift through grape varieties and discover what will grow best in its regions.
Drew has decided that pinot gris grapes have found a new home in this state. The grapes he used for his 91 and a half cases of pinot gris, came from Cedaredge in Delta County. The climate of Cedaredge is somewhat similar to the Four Corners area, so Drew was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
"I really enjoy making white wines," Drew said. "As the winemaker, I am tasting the wine as it ferments and with whites, you have to ferment it at cold temperatures so that process takes longer."
For four to six weeks, Drew sips his way through a white wine batch, appreciating the discernible flavor changes that occur from week to week. There is no aging involved in his white wines. Of Drew's pinot gris, Roberts said in a press release, that Drew's wine "might be the single best pinot gris I've yet had from the United States."
"That is what is amazing, "Drew said of his statement. "It tells me that here in Colorado we should be growing and making more pinot gris. I hope it helps to open the eyes of the wine world to potential growers in Colorado."
His 2011 batch of pinot, may have been his first, but it won't be the last. Although bottles from the first batch are sold out, Drew is hoping to double his next harvest of pinot gris. He purchased the same grapes from Cedaredge and has already finished fermentation. The 2012 bottles of pinot gris will be bottled soon.
Drew will continue to create and distribute his delectable beverages to wine lovers all over the country, hoping to please more palates.
Visit 1winedude.com to see Roberts' wine review. Drew and his wife Ruth can be found at Guy Drew Vineyards, located at 19891 Road G, hosting daily wine tastings from noon to 5 p.m. They can be reached at 565-4958.

In one of the main crossways of the prestigious via dei Condotti, immersed in the atmosphere and the beauties of the area, a few steps from Piazza di Spagna, Crossing Condotti, an elegant private recently restored residence, offers cosy and discrete hospitality.
Different enchanting rooms all refined with charme, antique furnishings and all the comfort of modern convenience to satisfy clients every single wish.

Oh, not bad. How're things with you?
Yes, people keep sending me books, and SUCH books. I had a run of a magazine called Politics, which was edited and partially written by Dwight McDonald, who didn't much believe in politics. Everybody else was wrong, you see, and he said so, at length, and people like George Orwell and C. Wright Mills would do articles to agree or disagree. Orwell's article on the ethics of detective fiction appeared here, as well as McDonald's article on the end of World War II in Europe, in which he congratulated the allies on turning a torture chamber into a cemetery. He didn't like ANYBODY.
I was left to reflect on comparative sociology and changing times when a small collection of books on natural medicine arrived. On top of the box was a paperback from 2004 called "Natural Cures for Killer Germs". Beneath it was a hardcover book from the 1950s, entitled "Simpler and Safer Remedies for Grievous Ills". I'd love to believe it's really just the same book, translated into 21st-century terms.
Those of you who have never ventured into the world of Government publications may be unaware that our tax dollars once produced some amazing things. I am in receipt of a fine, massive Victorian set with the fine, massive Victorian title "Reports of Explorations and Surveys to Ascertain the Most Practical and Economic Route for a Railroad from the Mississippi to the Pacific, 1853-54". It contains even more than the title suggests, since the thing is packed with engravings, many of them in color, and maps, showing much previously unexplored territory, the people, plants, and animals to be found there, and where a railroad might go to take people quickly to California (since if a person shows signs of wanting to live in California, it is best to remove them quickly.) Not only is this a U.S. Government production but it was available in more than one edition: Senators received a set issued and numbered differently than mere Congressmen. I have not decided quite what to DO with this yet. Prices run a little higher than is usual for the Book Fair, and if I'm going to sell it at that price, I'm really obligated to leaf through and make sure every single map and picture is in place.
Which, returning to my remarks earlier about changing times and comparative sociology, is something I need to do with these two or three hundred Pokemon cards somebody dropped off. Were you aware that some of these cards have been published in three or four editions, with different illustrations? And that's just the American ones: the cards in Japanese are similar, with the added difficulty that I have to figure out who these monsters are by the picture alone. (My reading Japanese is slightly worse than my speaking Japanese, which is nil.)
I like to brag once in a while about our illustrous donors. Have you noticed that the US Postal Service issued a stamp this year to honor someone whose books came to the Book Fair? I suppose he did other things as well. Anyway, we now number among our famous donors the US Postal Service iself, which has sent me 90 copies of the 2008 Stamp Yearbook, um, without the stamps. Not too soon to start thinking about December, if you're lookin for a gift for that Someone Who Has Everything.
We had a massive collection of vintage videocassettes come in. You can tell when you're dealing with videocassettes from early in the commercial period because the plastic is two different colors and the cardboard case extends an inch beyond the cassette on all sides, opening rather like a jewelry box with Porky's nestled like a gem in the center. These WILL play in a normal modern VCR. What's that? There's no such thing as a modern VCR? You must be one of those killer germs we were talking about a few paragraphs ago.
We also had another small collection of books on how to make and use hallucinogenic drugs. I have tucked these away with the others while I think over what to do with them. I try sniffing them from time to time to make some of these things go away, but that doesn't seem to work.
