NORMAN — A good generator can come in handy, especially in a power outage, but it also can be hazardous to your health if used improperly.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 170 people annually die as a result of misusing portable generators. However, this is an easily reversible trend if some basic safety guidelines are followed.
The main hazards from portable generators are carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, electric shock and fire. Most incidents reported to the CPSC involve CO poisoning from using the machinery in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. CO is an odorless, colorless, and potentially deadly gas.
Generators should only be used outdoors and well away from any air intakes to your home. In confined spaces like houses, garages or sheds, fumes can overwhelm you within minutes, even with fans or open doors and windows.
There also is a risk of shock or electrocution if a generator is used incorrectly, especially when it is wet. If you have a generator in wet conditions, protect it from moisture to cut your risk of shock or electrocution. For instance, you could use an open-sided canopy like structure on a dry surface that blocks water from pooling underneath it.
Appliances should be connected to the generator with only heavy-duty cords designed for outdoor use. Check the wattage rating on each cord to be sure it is more than the combined wattage of all equipment connected to it — include starting wattages. Also, do not string multiple cords together past 50 feet.
Home owners should avoid attempting to power home wiring by plugging a generator into a wall outlet. This dangerous practice, also known as back feeding, increases the risk of electrocution to utility workers and neighbors using the same transformer.
Meanwhile, to avoid fire hazards, it is a good idea to store the fuel for the generator outside the house and away from fuel-burning appliances such as natural gas water heaters. Use non-glass safety containers and be sure to label them clearly. Because gasoline spilled on a hot engine could ignite, generators should be turned off and allowed to cool before refueling.

The formation of a new committee, further exploration of increasing purchasing power and a series of questions for a local representative were all discussed at a joint school board meeting for districts in Clark and Floyd counties.
Joe Basham, vice president of West Clark Community Schools' board, said he and Nancy Kraft, board member at Greater Clark County Schools, are exploring alternative fuels for buses. He said while it's difficult to find suppliers locally, someone might help if there's an interest from all four districts.
"A lot of buses are starting to go to [liquefied petroleum] gas and natural gas," Basham said. "There are things out there where the corporations can save money on that. The biggest hold back on some of that is the supply in Southern Indiana. It's really not a big used item here, but I think with the corporations as a whole can get our heads together and show there's a demand, maybe someone locally would step up and say, 'hey, I can supply this for you.'"
He also said he's glad to see the state moving toward two average daily membership counts per year instead of one, especially since West Clark is growing pretty consistently.
Bill Wilson, board president for Clarksville Community Schools, said he hopes to see money from tax increment finance districts become available to school corporations as a source of revenue. He said it's especially challenging in his district because a TIF district doesn't have an end date. With property tax rates in that district capped, the school district is missing out on additional funds through those property taxes.
"There is a lot of money that we have been losing because of the TIFs and one of our TIFs does not have a sunset date on it," Wilson said. "Most of them have a 25-year date, but a big part of that TIF we have has no sunset date. That's a lot of money."
The districts also briefly discussed bringing more technology into the classrooms.
Tony Hall, a freshman member with Greater Clark, said he wondered if there was any way to lower the prices on iPads or other devices to use in a 1:1 initiative if all the districts banded together to purchase them.
Hall then agreed to sit on a committee to explore that option with Richard Graf from West Clark and Wilson.
But the boards also spent a lot of time asking questions of state Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany. Clere said there's a lot of news in regards to education coming down the legislative pipeline.
"There's a bevy of education bills ... dealing with everything from voucher expansion to charter school issues to cursive writing," Clere said.
Kraft said she opposed voucher expansion because of the affect it could have on school districts, but Clere said the impact in districts in Clark and Floyd counties have been "minimal" because of the quality of schools in Southern Indiana. He said he thought about 82 students in Floyd County took advantage of the program, which cost the district about $450,000.
Andrew Melin, superintendent of Greater Clark, said he's not afraid of competition between school districts, charter and parochial schools, but he thinks there's a deeper problem with vouchers.
"The big issue is that there's an inequity in this that's inherent in that if the state wants to allow a student go from this school system to that school system ...," Melin said, "the only people capable of making that happen are the people who have the resources to transport their student to that other district."
D.J. Hines, president of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp.'s board of trustees, said he was concerned about proposed legislation which would prevent school corporations from allowing students to transfer based on specific skill sets — such as athletic prowess or high test scores.
He gave of an example of letting a student enroll because they were specifically interested in a program NA-FC offered. He said preventing that is a bad idea.
He said in that scenario, the buzzword "school choice" loses its meaning.
"If it were school choice and people got to choose because they want to be in a particular building or a particular corporation, now we start setting parameters for when you're allowed to choose, that's really not choice," Hines said. "We're really migrating back in the other direction."
Clere said he hadn't considered that before, but will bring it up with others on the House Education Committee.
But Clere also said another change is coming. Rather than determining a district's complexity index — which helps determine per capita student funding for districts — based on free and reduced lunch students, the legislature wants to move to an index based on who's taking advantage of the state's free textbook rental program.
Clere said other districts across the state seem to inflate their numbers on free and reduced lunch students, but it's harder to do that with students in the textbook program. He said he didn't think any districts in the area were abusing the system, and may in fact see a slight increase in funding because of students who don't take free and reduced lunch to avoid the stigma associated with it. He said those students often take advantage of the textbook program though.

Lions like Johnson as next coachTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 04,2014Larry Johnson was one of the few bridges from the Joe Paterno to Bill OBrien era. Now, the coaching staff holdover has strong support from his players to become the next Penn State coach.
Johnson was appointed interim coach this week and can only hope the players vote of confidence carries weight when he applies for the permanent job following Bill OBriens hiring by the Houston Texans.
Why not Larry Johnson? Ive been here 18 years, I think I know the lay of the land very well, Johnson said Friday.
Penn State, however, has other candidates in mind to take over a program steadied by OBrien after the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
But one big name with connections to the teams storied past is out of the running. A person familiar with the situation told the AP that former Rutgers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano was not a candidate. The person said neither Schiano nor the school had interest in going through the hiring process. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the search is confidential.
Vanderbilts James Franklin and Miami coach Al Golden, a former Penn State captain under Paterno, are also among the possibilities on Penn States short list. Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Jim Caldwell and Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak are also likely in play.
Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner said Thursday the search will be over in days.
Although there will be some push from Paterno loyalists to give Johnson a chance, his odds are slim. Johnson joined the Nittany Lions staff in 1996 and has been the defensive line coach since 2000.
Hes an excellent leader, Joyner said. He has a long history with Penn State, and hes a great representative of what Penn State football and Penn State University is all about. I think hes got the respect of both recruits as well as the student-athletes that are here. So in my book, Larry is a very solid individual who will be a solid base as we get through this.
Johnson has contacted both recruits and current players, trying to keep the team together.
Im not worried about whats going to happen to Larry Johnson, he said. Im worried about keeping this program moving forward.
His son, Larry, was a star running back for the Nittany Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs. He said he hasnt thought about whether he will stay if he job goes to someone else. In that case, of course, the decision might not be his to make.
Hes already been successful in keeping freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg in the fold. He won Big Ten freshman of the year honors after throwing for 2,955 yards second most in the league and third in Penn State history.
He had 20 touchdown passes with 10 interceptions and ran for four more scores in leading the Nittany Lions to a 7-5 record.
Hes going to be back here and ready to go on the 13th and get going, Johnson said.
Hackenberg would be just one of many players encouraged that Johnson has been kept around.
Penn State defensive end Deion Barnes wrote on Twitter, I know me and many other players would love to have coach Johnson as our head coach, hes a great leader and will be a great head coach.
And tight end Jake Kiley tweeted: Nice to hear that keeping Coach Johnson as our head coach could be an option. No one knows us or the school better.
Johnson said he had a great final conversation with OBrien, who became emotional talking about his departure. OBrien led the Nittany Lions to two winning seasons (8-4, 7-5) while restoring some tempered enthusiasm in Happy Valley.
Less than two years after succeeding Paterno, OBrien was introduced Friday in Houston as the Texans coach.
I love the players at Penn State and I respect their toughness and their resiliency and everything that theyve demonstrated on a day-to-day basis, he said. I do regret not being able to continue with the great kids on that team. While I tried never to mislead anyone, I understand that some people feel let down. But again, it was a decision that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.
And it could lead to one for Johnson.

GARNER — Garner police arrested two men for assaulting and robbing two out-of-state travelers during what the victims had intended to be a marijuana purchase just after noon on Jan. 31.
Police charged Christopher Anthony Clegg, 19, of Raleigh with felonious assault with a deadly weapon for hitting one of the victims in the head with the butt of his pellet gun, as well as misdemeanor assauilt, two counts each of felonious larceny and conpsiracy to commit common law robery.
Garner resident Timothy Chism, 20, faces the misdemeanor assault, larceny and conspiraacy charges as well. He was also charged with possession of marijuana.
Police spokesman Chris Clayton said the suspects met their victims in the WalMart parking lot and lured them to the parking lot in front of an apartment lease office at 915 Bryan Place in Garner to sell them weed. Instead, Clegg pulled the pellet gun out and the two robbed the visitors of money, a wallet including drivers licence and credit cards, a jacket and a cell phone.
Corey Juliano, 24, and Christopher Adams, 31, will not face drug charges. Clayton said the two told police that was their plan and police belive they intended to, but there was not enough corroborating evidence to bring charges.
Adams was struck in the head with the gun by Clegg, Clayton said, and it appeared robbery was the intent of the suspects from the start.
Clegg had an outstanding warrant for the armed robbery of a sweepstakes parlor on Benson Road on Jan. 25. He's also believed to be involved in other robberies in Raleigh.
When police were called, a perimeter was set up because the suspects had been seen leaving on foot. They were apprehended across U.S. 70 in the Forest Hills Shopping Center parking lot, thanks to good descriptions of the perpetrators and an officer -- Sgt. Chris Adams -- who happened to be nearby when the call went out.

CLINTON — A Clinton woman charged with forgery received a suspended prison sentence with the agreement that she would pay back her victim by the end of this year.
Melissa L. Mussmann, 43, 428 11th Ave. North, and her attorney, Matt Hatch, told Judge Paul Macek on Thursday that she had paid $150 in restitution since he had last seen her. Macek continued her sentencing on March 7 after learning that she had made no payment on the $492.73 she owed to victim, Darlene Hattan.
At the time, he told Mussmann she had better begin paying back Hattan if she did not want a prison sentence.
According to a court affidavit, Hattan reported the theft of her purse on June 20 along with her checkbook and driver's license. Mussmann and three others allegedly cashed these checks at area businesses between June 20 and July 10, according to court documents. Hattan told the court on March 7 that the incident almost ruined her marriage.
"So it wasn't just a matter of a mere $492," Macek said.
After hearing that Mussman has made some payments to Hattan, Macek followed County Attorney Mike Wolf's recommendation for a suspended sentence. Wolf told the court that Hattan does not wish to see Mussmann go to prison. Mussmann was ordered to spend as many as five years in prison and was fined $750, but both the incarceration and the fine were suspended.
Macek warned Mussman that if the full restitution to Hattan was not paid by 4 p.m. Dec. 31, her probation would be revoked. She also was ordered to complete community service in payment of court-appointed attorney fees.

- Health Notes
Natural Support to Relieve Work StressNatural Support to Relieve Work StressTaking supplements may help lessen work-related stressWorkplace demands have increased substantially over the years, combined with large rises in stress-related illnesses, work absenteeism, and insurance claims for stress-induced conditions. Recent studies have also found links between high levels of work stress and an increased risk of heart disease, depression, and anxiety. Could stress relief really come in a bottle? The answer is a qualified "yes," according to a new study in Human Psychopharmacology.
B calm
B vitamins play a well-documented role in mood disorders, as they are essential for synthesizing mood-boosting neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, and may help prevent age-related cognitive decline. Several B-vitamins also support heart health by helping to lower homocysteine levels, since elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease.
The new study assessed the effects of a B-complex supplement on measures of work-related stress, personality, anxiety, and mood. For 12 weeks, 60 people were assigned to take either two tablets per day of a supplement containing a nutrient-herb blend, or a placebo. The supplement contained:
- the full spectrum of B vitamins;
- calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C, which are nutrients known to help with the stress response; and
- passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) and oats (Avena sativa), which have been used historically to soothe the nervous system.
At the end of the supplementation period, personal strain levels improved 19% in people who had taken the supplement, whereas no change was noted in the placebo group. The supplement group also indicated decreases in feelings of depression/dejection, anger/hostility, and tension/anxiety, as well as less fatigue and confusion.
"Given the cost of workplace stress claims, the loss of productivity, and the personal cost, an analysis of the economic impact of B-vitamin supplementation in the workplace should be assessed," said lead study author, Con Stough of the Center for Human Psychopharmacology at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.
Since the B-complex used in this study contained other ingredients, this study cannot tell us which constituents caused the beneficial effects, or whether this particular combination carries some specific effect. Future studies should focus on isolating the effects of these ingredients on stress relief.
Beyond the bottle
While taking a supplements may help lessen work-related stress, work in some of these other options to keep your stress levels in check and get the most from the naturally occurring B vitamins in your diet:
- Eat your B's. B vitamins are found in meat, tuna, whole grains, leafy greens (like collards, kale, and Swiss chard), lentils, beans, broccoli, potatoes, tempeh, miso, bananas, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and oranges. (Note that processed grains have had much of the B vitamins and other nutrients, including fiber and healthy fats, stripped out.)
- Avoid B-depleting substances to help lower your stress. Birth control pills, caffeine, processed foods, and excessive alcohol intake can cause deficiencies of some B vitamins.
- Address underlying causes. Certain infections (like H. pylori, a bacterium that causes stomach ulcers), kidney disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and malabsorption syndromes may cause deficiency in some or all of the B vitamins.
- Exercise. To boost "happy" chemicals in the brain, a brisk 30-minute walk each day can help elevate mood and lower blood pressure, both of which may also help prevent heart disease.
- Always talk with your doctor before starting a new supplement. B vitamins in particular may interact with certain medications and even with each other.

Comments about Lumiday™:
I purchased this product reluctantly, mainly because it costs so much. I decided I really needed to do something about my stress/fatigue and general attitude...I was feeling a little depressed even with all the exercise I do. Things I used to do that made me feel good both mentally & physically, just didn't seem to be working like in the past. ..that's when I decided to try something natural, rather than some type of anti-anxiety/depressant med. SO...I agreed to purchase 1 bottle (1 month supply)of Lumiday. Thought I'd give it a try. It truly does seem to be helping. I'm not a pill taker, so anything I do take, I notice. I feel "level" and not so up & down. My focus seems to have improved and I don't feel so sad. Still, I'm not 100% convinced, but I will continue this product for the good results I have had. It has most definitely taken the "edge" off!

Comments about Lumiday™:
I bought this product after hearing about it on the radio as sort of a joke. However part of me was hopeful that this MIRACLE supplement would do some good. I brought it to my wife who had tried several anti depressant prescriptions with little or no success. So after a few days my family noticed a substantial change in her. I commented to our kids and jokingly said has mom been drinking? She was singing Xmas songs baking cookies and just extremely pleasant. my 10 year old daughter looked up from her laptop smiled and said " LUMIDAY DADDY'. She has maintained this mood for about 6 weeks. She has started her 2nd bottle. Thank you. P.S. any coupons? LOL

A great product with great ingredients. However, it is expensive. I take all the ingredients in this product but buy them individually. I am able to get several months of supply for a fraction the cost. A good multivitamin plus the supplements of st. johns, l theanine, 5-HTP do the same thing!!

My husband began taking Lumiday and within a week, he had a SEVERE skin rash under each arm and across his stomach. We could not imagine such a reaction to this product so quickly. This is the third day he has stopped taking them and his rash is drying up. He was so miserable with the skin rash; he did not have a chance to see if his mode improved. I know this is probably a rare occurrence; however, I just wanted others to know of it.

Comments about Lumiday™:
I love Lumiday. The first time I tried it was the free 14 day trial. It has really helped me with motivation and gives me the engery I need. I am now a regular user of Lumiday.
I take lumiday daily, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Just 3 days of starting it, I have noticed the difference.
My moods are much better, I feel good, not edgy or tired and just feel normal again.
Sure the price is more than I would like to pay for a one month supply however, it is money well invested. I am a full time working Mother of 3 and a Wife. Mood and Energy are of utmost importance in my life.
If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. :))

— MOOERS — Charles L. Drown, 92, of Hemmingford Road, Mooers, N.Y., passed away on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at the CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh.
He was born in Ellenburg, N.Y., on March 17, 1920 the son of Leonard and Fanny (Covey) Drown. He married the former Eva Nephew on Feb. 24, 1941 at the Burke Methodist Church parsonage. They had just celebrated their 72 Wedding Anniversary about a week ago.
Charles attended a one-room schoolhouse near Cannon's Corners. He began farming in 1941 in Ellenburg until 1963 when he moved to Mooers and continued to farm until his retirement in 1976. Even after his retirement, Charles worked for his son on the farm in the summer and he and Eva spent the winters in Fla.
His fondest memories included the three months they spent traveling to Alaska, hunting moose in northern Canada and deer hunting with his wife Eva, family and friends.
Charles was a member of the Mooers Wesleyan Church, Gideons International, Mooers Camp Meeting Association and past member of The Gulf View Hunting Club.
Survivors include his loving wife of 72 years, Eva of Mooers; two sons, Stephen C. Drown and his wife Jessie of Mooers; grandchildren, Rebecca, Daniel and Kim; and Leonard R. Drown and his wife Sheila of Morrisonville; grandchildren, Trista and Tyson; one son-in-law, Art Sanchagrin of Orlando, Fla.; grandchildren, Kelly, Tonya and Tyese; one brother, Gene Drown of Ellenburg Depot; one brother-in-law, Carl Nephew of Ellenburg Depot; eight grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his daughter, Judy Sanchagrin in 1999; one brother, Frank; and five sisters, Ruby, Bertha, Edith, Ida, and Beatrice.
His quiet belief in Jesus Christ has left a lasting impression on many that knew him. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Calling hours will be private and held at the convenience of the family. A Memorial Service will be held at 5 p.m on Tuesday, March 12, 2013, in the Mooers Wesleyan Church. Burial will take place in the spring in Riverside Cemetery in Mooers.
Donations in his memory may be made to the Mooers Wesleyan Church, the Mooers Fire Department, the Mooers Camp Meeting Association, or Gideons International.
Online condolences may be made to the family by visiting www.rabideaufuneralhome.com.
Arrangements have been entrusted into the caring hands of the Rabideau Funeral Home, 5614 Route 11, Ellenburg. (518) 594-3111.

Susan Zellman, founding executive director of the Housing Partnership for Morris County, has announced she will be retiring in March.
Zellman, who has also been a Sussex County freeholder for the past 12 years, including serving as freeholder director for the past two, has led the organization for the past 20 years in continuing its mission to provide affordable housing opportunities to residents throughout the county.
The Housing Partnership helps low-income families obtain home ownership and provides education programs and advice, as well as down payment assistance, foreclosure intervention and mortgage assistance, for people in need. Although the Partnership serves mostly Morris County, assistance is also available to residents in Sussex, Warren and other counties throughout the state. The Partnership is supported by United Way and a member of the NeighborWorks America Charter.
Zellman is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including from the League of Women Voters, Morris County Hispanic American Chamber of Commerce, Morris 2000, Mental Health Consumers of NJ and more. She is an active volunteer as well, serving on the Sussex County Planning Board and as chairwoman of the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, in addition to serving as a freeholder.
"Since its formation in 1992, Susan has led the Housing Partnership to tremendous growth and it has garnered recognition nationally and in New Jersey. Her dynamic personality, her skills, her passion for the work of the Partnership, her work ethic, and her broad range of relationships in the housing community and the political world have made the Housing Partnership one of the premier such agencies in the United States," Bob Michaels, chair of the Housing Partnership, said in a press release.
The Housing Partnership will be looking for a successor to Zellman. Interested candidates can email Michaels at firstname.lastname@example.com

DURHAM — Mike Fox remembers the last ACC baseball tournament at Durham Bulls Athletic Park all too well. It may not even be over yet.
In 2011, North Carolina played in one game that didnt start until after midnight, was suspended at 1:55 a.m. and wasnt completed until 17 hours later. That was the first of two games for North Carolina that day, the second lasting until 12:30 a.m. There was a 7-hour rain delay during another game and enough other delays to stack up four games on Saturday, starting at 9 a.m.
It was a wet mess of a baseball tournament. Virginia beat Florida State for the title on Sunday in front of a few thousand damp fans, while both North Carolina and N.C. State saw their title hopes washed away in the deluge of delays as pitching staffs were scrambled and bullpens decimated.
The kids are all adaptable, Fox, the North Carolina coach, said Tuesday. As long as they have their phones, they can manage, they can kill time with the best of them. Its harder on the coaches and the fans sitting around.
If those memories werent fresh enough, theres a possibility weather will play havoc with the ACC tournament again. Theres a chance of rain Wednesday, when N.C. State opens tournament play, before the cold front that spawned the devastating storms in the Midwest is expected to move through the area Thursday, when North Carolina plays its first game.
By ACC rules, every game has to go nine innings unless the 10-run mercy rule comes into play, so if the rain comes, theyll wait it out, as long as it takes. In 2011, it felt like it took forever.
I think our leagues trying to do the best we can by playing three games a day and spreading them out so you have a four-hour window, Fox said. Youre just at the mercy of it. Its the nature of baseball. Its an outdoor sport and you just try to deal with it the best you can.
At this point in the season, NCAA tournament teams like North Carolina and N.C. State have carefully calibrated their pitching rotations to give them the best chance to win not just this weekend in Durham but in next weekends NCAA regionals. The ACC tournament format of two round-robin groups of four teams is designed to give coaches as much predictability as possible when setting their rotations.
Every coach probably handles it differently, N.C. State coach Elliott Avent said. We have tried to target this tournament and next weekend for the last month or so as weve done our pitching.
That only works if everything goes off as scheduled. If a game is delayed for any length of time after only a couple innings, theres no chance a starting pitcher is going back in, not with the NCAA tournament to consider. North Carolinas early morning adventures in 2011 cost starter Patrick Johnson a chance at a no-hitter when he wasnt able to pick up where he left off at 2 a.m.
Even when the stakes are higher, theres only so much pressure a coach will put on an arm. Last year, Avent decided not to put ace Carlos Rodon back into a super regional game against Florida after a rain delay. The Wolfpack lost in the 10th, ending its season.
Everybody thought I should bring Rodon back in Florida, but it was just something I wasnt willing to do, Avent said. He hadnt thrown that much and I think we sat there for 2 1/2 hours. Most coaches have an hour rule. When a guy sits there with a few pitches for an hour, hes probably not going to bring him back. Its just a chance to stiffen up.
Those considerations can deliver the ACC title to the team with the deepest bullpen. In 2011, that was top-seeded Virginia, which after enduring the 7-hour delay against Miami gave up only four runs over the next 18 innings, leaving the opposition high and dry.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — HAVERHILL — Voters will get their last chance tomorrow to see and hear the four candidates vying for the 1st Essex Senate District go head-to-head on the issues.
The final debate before the Nov. 6 election for those candidates is at 7 p.m. at Northern Essex Community College's Technology Center, 100 Elliot St. Doors open at 6 p.m. for guests who want to offer questions for the candidates. Two of those questions will be randomly chosen.
Kathleen O'Connor Ives is the Democratic nominee, Shaun Toohey is the Republican candidate, and James Kelcourse and Paul Magliocchetti are running as Independents.
The Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the debate, which will be moderated by Sal Lupoli, owner of the Riverwalk complex in Lawrence and chairman of the business group's board of directors.
"I don't want to tip off the questions, but its's safe to say the emphasis will be on learning what the candidates think are the best ideas and policies to make things better for homeowners and businesses in the Merrimack Valley," debate organizer and longtime chamber President Joseph Bevilacqua said. "As the last debate, this is a great opportunity for voters to learn about the candidates and the issues before they go into the voting booth in two weeks."
Previous debates for the seat have been held in Haverhill, Methuen and Newburyport. Tjhose events have focused on tax policy and economic issues, but also touched on a wide variety of other topics of local and statewide interest.
In Methuen earlier this month, Toohey and Kelcourse promised they would never agree to raise taxes. Magliocchetti said he would consider new taxes only after thoroughly scrutinizing the state budget for spending cuts and seeing state agencies reformed and consolidated to "bare-bones" levels. O'Connor Ives said it would be irresponsible for her to dismiss any proposal without first seeing and studying it.
Asked their No. 1 idea for stimulating the stagnant economy, the candidates agreed nothing is more important for the district's next senator.
Magliocchetti, a lawyer and member of the Haverhill School Committee, said he would consolidate all the state's economic development agencies into a single one to give businesses easy access to advice and funding, eliminating confusion and waste. He also touted his plan to create tax-free zones in local downtowns and a graduated sales tax system in which taxes would be lower or higher depending on a community's proximity to tax-free New Hampshire.
Kelcourse, also a lawyer and Amesbury city councilor, said he would push for more tax-free holidays and developing incentives to attract emerging industries like solar, wind and medical to the region.
O'Connor Ives, a Newburyport city councilor, said she prefers to see the state invest in "low-risk" local transportation projects and education, which provide jobs to people in the district.
Toohey, a mortgage banker and member of the Haverhill School Committee, said he would focus on lowering Massachusetts' electricity rates, which are among the highest in the country.
Toohey, Magliocchetti and Kelcourse have said they strongly support rolling back the Massachusetts sales tax rate to give businesses here a better chance to compete with their New Hampshire rivals. O'Connor Ives has said she favors "a comprehensive approach" to help businesses here, pointing out that New Hampshire has no sales tax at all.
As a Democrat, O'Connor Ives has said she's best positioned to deliver for the district in the Democrat-dominated Senate. Toohey has said electing him would be a step toward bringing balance and two-party rule to the Statehouse. Magliocchetti and Kelcourse have said it's time to elect an Independent who will put the people of the district before a political party.
The candidates are competing for the seat previously held by Steven Baddour, a Methuen democrat who resigned in March to enter private law practice.
Previous debates were at DiBurro's function hall in Haverhill, Merimack Valley Golf Club in Methuen and Newburyport High School. The League of Women Voters of Greater Haverhill hosted a forum for the candidates last week at the Haverhill Public Library.

Attorney 'shocked' by murder charge
Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the entrance to the abandoned City Concrete plant at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter in memory of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found inside last week. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He was even more surprised when he learned that Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, was charged in her murder.
Coughlin, a Portsmouth lawyer, was representing Desjardins while he and Warf ironed out the details of a parenting plan for their 11-month-old son, William, in the Brentwood Family Court.
Coughlin was hired just after their divorce was final in February 2012 and says he never saw any serious problems between the two.
They may have disagreed at times like many divorced couples, but Coughlin said it was nothing unusual.
"I hear about these things happening, and sometimes when I'm involved in a particular case I wonder if something bad might happen because of the nature of my client or the nature of the opposing party," he said. "This case didn't have that. It's surprising that he might somehow be involved."
The last time Coughlin spoke with Desjardins was a few weeks before prosecutors say he killed Warf by slitting her throat.
The body of the 36-year-old mother who worked at Exeter Hospital was discovered on the second floor of the abandoned City Concrete factory on Hampton Road in Exeter on March 7. Firefighters found her body while responding to a fire that prosecutors say was intentionally set, though Desjardins hasn't been charged with arson.
Just a few days after telling reporters he had nothing to do with her murder and that someone else had done it, Desjardins, 36, was arrested at gunpoint near his Epping home Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder.
Coughlin said he believes Warf and Desjardins were still seeing a co-parent counselor at the time of the killing and had a hearing scheduled in May.
"They were working on the minutia, the logistics of the parenting time that they would spend with William, but they had pretty much equally divided it, and they were trying to figure out when transfers would occur and things like that," Coughlin said.
Before his arrest, Desjardins told the New Hampshire Union Leader that he and Warf had "come to full agreement" on custody of their son.
"We were just going to put the ink on the paper," he said at the time, suggesting that all was well between him and Warf.
Unlike some couples, Warf and Desjardins didn't seem to have a problem getting together to work out their issues.
"They could meet in the same room. There were no domestic violence aspects of the case. No restraining orders," Coughlin said. "If it turns out that he was aggressive toward her during this event I certainly never saw evidence of that when I observed them dealing with each other."
At times, even Desjardins' new wife, Sarah, would attend meetings with Coughlin when Warf was also present. Court documents hinted at some tension between the two women in the past, but Coughlin said Sarah was "very helpful with him in parenting William."
According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, William is now being cared for by other family members while Desjardins remains held without bail at the Rockingham County jail. He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on March 22 at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

NORMAN — Oklahoma offensive coordinator Josh Heupel wouldn't give himself a grade when asked to assess his play calling in the first seven games.
"I don't give myself a grade," he said. "Ultimately we've got to score enough points to win every game. That's what it comes down to. It's not about what we're averaging yards, points — certainly we want to score a lot of points, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day it's a team game and you're trying to find ways to win."
Receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell fiercely defended Heupel when asked about the offense Tuesday.
"The one thing about play calling is that everybody who watches a football game thinks they can call plays, and it's really not that easy," he said. "I think he's done a great job. He's very prepared all the time, and spends a lot of time at it all year round. There's always things that you'd like to do differently sometimes as a play caller, but no, he's done a fabulous job."
Ready for upgrades: OU's board of regents approved a feasibility study for upgrades to Owen Field Wednesday. OU coach Bob Stoops declined to comment on exactly what is in the works, but believed any improvements to the stadium will be good for his program.
"I think it's great, if that's what they intend to do. I think it will definitely help. It'll help recruiting. I think it will be fantastic for our fans if we continue to do things to improve the stadium," he said. "Better views, whether it be suites or wherever they're going with it."
Injury update: Stoops said safety Julian Wilson has practiced the last two days and will play against Texas Tech Saturday. Wilson suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of the Kansas game.

The Mars rover Curiosity is on course to land in East Meadow Monday night.
First, it has a date with Mars early Monday morning.
The East Meadow Public Library MSL Landing Event will be held Monday evening at 7 p.m. The library is located at 1886 Front St. For more information on the event, contact Judith Schanzer at 516-794-2570 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Long Islanders can also catch the event at the Times Square Toshiba Vision Screen located beneath the New Year's Eve Ball. The show begins at 11:30 p.m. on Sunday with touchdown expected at around 1:30 a.m.
Curiosity, also know as the Mars Science Laboratory, has a pretty exciting time ahead of it. It's detailed in NASA's aptly named video called "7 Minutes of Terror."
The complex spacecraft encapsulating the rover must deal with the 16,000 degrees of heat generated by entering the planet's atmosphere at 13,000 mph. A parachute will slow it down.
It will all happen in seven minutes - on autopilot.
Because of the time delay caused by Mars' current distance of more than 150 million miles, scientists and viewers around the world won't know if the landing has been a success or failure for another seven minutes.
Talk about a nail-biter.
The real work doesn't begin until Curiosity is on the ground. The rover, which is the size of a SUV, will search for signs of microscopic life in the Martian soil. And if the most optimistic hopes for the mission come true, this machine could finally answer one of the greatest questions ever asked.
Are we alone?

Supernatural Episode 6.6
"You Can't Handle the Truth"
Story By: Eric Charmelo, Nicole Snyder, and David Reed
Written By: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder
Directed By: Rod Hardy
Original Airdate: 29 October 2010
In This Episode...
A small town in Illinois has fallen victim to a number of suspicious suicides in the span of just a week or two. A waitress starts hearing the vicious truth from her co-workers and family, driving her to kill herself. A man goes to see his dentist and spills the fact that he fucked his dentist's daughter. Dentist goes mad, kills the patient, and then hangs himself in his prison cell a few hours later. Sam and Dean are investigating, but Dean is highly uncomfortable being in the same room as his brother, and tries to split up from him as much as possible.
Dean is drinking himself stupid at a dive bar when he figures out that there is a curse over the town: if you request the truth, you get it, in the most blunt way possible. Meanwhile, Sam is investigating the first mysterious death, a "car accident." The roommate suspected that her friend did not die in a car accident. Sam finds a small box beneath the girl's bed, containing all sorts of occult-ish things, including a cat skull. Dean meets Sam, and begs the truth from him. Sam swears he did not leave the vampire to feed on him; that he just froze. Satisfied that Sam cannot tell the truth, Dean relaxes, and the two start researching spells with cat skulls.
They come across the goddess Veritas, an attention whore who loves cats and forces people to tell the truth in the worst way. Corey, the "car crash" victim, summoned Veritas to find out if her boyfriend was cheating on her, and was not able to contain the evil she called forth. Dean and Sam figure that the 21st century version of an attention whore is a TV tabloid journalist. They track down the only one in town, and snoop around her house. She finds them in her abattoir, where she has been feasting on the bodies of those who killed themselves in her name. Veritas forces the truth out of Dean: he was terrified of Sam, but felt better after their little chat; he thought he wanted a family, but he is a hunter not a father. Veritas goes to Sam next, and all he says is that he and Dean are back together; that is what matters. Veritas flips out. That is not the truth - you aren't human! Sam had been working at his restraints with a knife this whole time. He breaks free and tosses the knife to Dean while he wrestles Veritas. Dean frees himself, and each of them stab her with daggers soaked in dog's blood.
Veritas is dead for mere seconds before Dean is holding a knife to Sam's throat, desperate for the truth. Sam finally admits he doesn't know what is wrong with him, but he has never been a better hunter. He did let Dean get vampirized because he knew there was a cure. He just can't feel anything. Dean softens a bit, considers... then punches Sam in the face until he is unconscious.
Dig It or Bury It?
This season has really been outstanding. Tonight's episode did not disappoint. It was a good mix of humor, gore, and weird mojo. It continued this whole "what the hell is wrong with Sam" storyline without being obnoxious. It just felt natural.
Sibling Rivalry
Sibilings wrestle; very few pummel their brothers until they are knocked unconscious and their face is a bloody, mushy mess. That goes a little bit beyond "rivalry."
Blood Brothers
The waitress who killed herself during the show's cold open shot herself in the head, blood exploding over the wall behind her. Then the dentist takes his scary torture-drill thing and drills his pedophiliac patient to death, apparently taking it up through the roof of his mouth into the brain. That is not going to help my dentist phobia.
Spooky Humor
After Dean figures out the truth curse, he calls Bobby for info, and hilarity ensues as Bobby reveals some very un-Bobby secrets. He watches cheesy reality TV, enjoys the occasional pedicure, and was about to reveal a secret about his first girlfriend that Dean just cannot handle. "Nonononono," Dean cries with a shudder. "I'm scarred for life."
Honorable mention goes to Sam who called the deviant dentist Dr. Giggles, a reference to the eponymous early 1990s movie about a son who seeks revenge on a town that institutionalized his insane, mass-murdering MD father.
As if this one really needed to be spelled out, Cas reaches into Sam's chest and does a soul check. Nope, not there.

One of the most popular pages in the Windows Phone 7 documentation is the Code Samples topic. On this page you can find a series of code samples that demonstrate various features of Windows Phone 7. But somewhat hidden away at the bottom of the topic are links to some Starter Kits. These Starter Kits are fully functional applications – in fact, you can find these apps in the Marketplace and try them out on your phone. The complete source code for the entire application is available to download and tinker with. For each Starter Kit, there is a topic in the documentation that highlights some of the more interesting sections of code in the app. Also, Sean McKenna did a couple of presentations on these applications on Channel 9. You can find them at http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/Windows-Phone-7-Apps--Tools and http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/Accelerometer-Helper
The currently available Starter Kits are:
As you can probably guess, this app lets you enter a phrase in one language and translate it to another language. The starter kit demonstrates how to call a web service, use an XNA Framework API from within a Silverlight application, play a sound, maintain a history list in isolated storage, and animate an image in a ToggleButton.
