Pol taxes: Kuster, Guinta & overdue bills
U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta, ousted last fall by Democrat Carol Shea-Porter, had his own delinquent property tax and water service bills in Manchester a few years ago, as did several other city elected officials of both parties. Current Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn owes the IRS more than $90,000 in back taxes, for which the IRS has imposed liens on her property.
The typical partisan response to news like this is to call the delinquent payer a tax cheat or imply that he or she is selfishly trying to avoid his or her civic duty. That is how Democrats portrayed Guinta when news of his late tax bills broke. Republicans pretend to be outraged about Kuster, too, but the response was more measured, for good reason.
The state party officially called on Kuster not to resign, but to explain herself. Asserting that Kuster did not "pay her fair share," Republican spokesperson Meg Stone said, "When times are tough and our neighbors are struggling, people understand; but when your net worth is nearly $2 million and you have established a pattern of non-payment, your constituents deserve an answer."
The false outrage was leavened with a hint of understanding. How else could a party headed by someone who has IRS liens totaling $92,184 respond?
The typical public response is a bit different. It goes something like this: We have to pay our taxes on time, why don't they? Who do they think they are? Fair enough. From now on, party poo-bahs need to vet candidates on their tax bills to avoid those questions. Yet for now there are other questions. Why do so many people in politics in New Hampshire have trouble paying their taxes on time? Do they feel entitled? Are they disorganized? Is it the economy? Or are taxes so high and so complex that it is becoming hard to find candidates who have not had payment issues?

Londonderry woman gets 35 years to life for ex-boyfriend's murder
Nicole LeBlanc, 39, turned from cameras as she entered a courtroom on Friday to plead guilty to charges that she murdered her ex-boyfriend Richard Mannion Jr. in January. (JAMES A. KIMBLE)
BRENTWOOD – A Londonderry woman was allowed to plead guilty to second-degree murder for shooting to death her ex-boyfriend in January as he slept in his own bed, despite protests from the victim's family about a plea bargain that offered the possibility of parole.
Nicole LeBlanc was sentenced 35 years to life in state prison on Friday for murdering Richard Mannion Jr., a Sandown father of four and Gulf War veteran who was shot once in the head at his home on the night of Jan. 14.
LeBlanc was initially charged with first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life-without-parole prison term. She waived indictment on Friday to a new second-degree murder charge as part of a plea deal with state prosecutors.
The two-hour plea hearing in Rockingham County Superior Court was punctuated with calls from Mannion Jr.'s family to maintain the first-degree murder charge so that LeBlanc would never be granted the possibility of one day walking free.
"Rick certainly did not have any chance to make a plea for his life," Dennis Mannion, the victim's uncle said on Friday morning. "He was asleep."
The deal also allows LeBlanc to petition a judge to have five years suspended from her sentence if she obtains a bachelor's degree and remains discipline free for a decade.
"I can't guarantee you would ever be released from state prison," Judge Marguerite Wageling told LeBlanc on Friday while explaining terms of the agreement.
After listening to victim impact statements on Friday, Wageling suggested she may be reluctant to ever grant LeBlanc a sentence reduction.
"Ms. LeBlanc, you deserve every single day of this sentence -- every single day of this sentence," Wageling said.
LeBlanc, 39, who entered court with stooped shoulders and disheveled hair masking her face, offered no apology or statement and kept her back to Mannion Jr.'s family during the hearing.
She was repeatedly prompted by Wageling to speak up while being quizzed about giving up her right to a trial.
State prosecutors acknowledged that LeBlanc's history of mental illness played a role in agreeing to a lesser charge.
Public defenders handed over a variety of mental health records showing that LeBlanc had been hospitalized because of mental illness. LeBlanc also underwent another evaluation after she was charged with murder.
"She has suffered from depression and has at least two documented instances of attempted suicide," Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said.
Hinckley said his office gives serious consideration to input by a victim's family, but it also has to weigh a number of other factors when recommending a potential sentence.
"If I was the victim's brother, son or relative my opinion would be different," Hinckley said outside the courtroom about the sentence.
LeBlanc had lived with Mannion Jr., 43, at his Sandown home in 2011 until he ended the relationship last summer, according to Hinckley. LeBlanc responded by repeated telephone calls, text messages and a twice breaking a no-contact order by arriving unexpectedly at Mannion Jr.'s home last Dec. 25 and Dec. 28, prosecutors said.
Days later on Jan. 13, she broke into the home by smashing a basement window with a shovel found in his shed.
She returned the next night, entering the home through the basement, with a .380-caliber handgun she had taken from a Hollis man whom she was once romantically involved with, prosecutors said.
LeBlanc used latex gloves, baby wipes and even donned Mannion Jr.'s shoes to walk around outside his home to avoid detection, prosecutors said. She placed a folded towel to his head and fired a single round while he slept, according to Hinckley.
Mannion Jr.'s ex-wife, Shannon Emerson, told Wageling that LeBlanc continued with her deception after the murder, arriving at her home offering to console her and her family while they were being questioned by state police detectives.
"I knew you were the one person who had everything to do with this," she said.
LeBlanc also posted several messages on Mannion Jr.'s online obituary.
State police ultimately unraveled the case when they questioned LeBlanc's one time boyfriend, Dennis Johnson, of Hollis. Johnson, who was not charged, told investigators that LeBlanc had taken his handgun without his knowledge.
He later agreed to wear a body wire while drawing LeBlanc into a confession recorded by state police. When asked about why she committed the murder, LeBlanc said during the recorded conversation that "she had her reasons," Hinckley said. "She also added she didn't feel bad about the victim."

WINE AND SPIRITS may be all the rage right now but at the end of the day, we are a nation of beer drinkers. According to a new report by the Beer Institute, Americans of drinking age downed an average of 3OO beers last year. Overall, beer consumption rose 1.5 percent in the United States in 2O12 as the economy began to come back after the recession and above normal winter and spring temperatures helped boost beer sales. The US brewing and beer importing business puts more than two million Americans to work, from barley farmers to shopkeepers and truck drivers. And with the taxes levied on all aspects of brewing, importing, trucking, and selling beer, beer drinkers contribute significantly to local, state and federal government – $49 billion in taxes in 2O12, according to a recent economic study. In fact, more than 4O percent of the retail cost of beer paid by consumers goes toward taxes, on a national average, making taxes the most expensive ingredient in beer. So which state drinks the most? The Beer Institute worked out per-capita numbers and found it to be none other than North Dakota (while Utah ranked dead last). While ND took 1st place, New England had a respectable showing in the top 1O for 2O12 (Massachusetts finished at a rather unimpressive 4Oth). For the full list go to BeerInstitute.org.
1O MAINE 34 gallons
9 TEXAS 34.4 gallons
8 NEBRASKA 35.2 gallons
7 VERMONT 35.3 gallons
6 NEVADA 35.8 gallons
5 WISCONSIN 36.2 gallons
4 SOUTH DAKOTA 38.9 gallons
3 MONTANA 41.O gallons
2 NEW HAMPSHIRE 43.9 gallons
1 NORTH DAKOTA 45.8 gallons
All figures are beer consumed per person.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Twelve years have passed since the September 11th attacks, and for those that are younger, it can be harder to understand the significance.
With that in mind, a group of honors students from across the Capital Region gathered at the State Museum to reflect on September 11th. Each of them was asked to write an essay on that terrorist attack and how it forever changed our country.
The high school seniors are part of a special program run through the Capital Region BOCES. After sharing their thoughts, students toured the "World Trade Center: Rescue Recovery Response" exhibit.
Keep in mind, many of these students were in kindergarten when 9/11 occurred, but each of them seemed to grasp the significance.
"It's important to be here especially if you're of a younger age so you are aware of what happened. I think it's important to teach kids that are younger especially kids that are my age and younger that what happened was such a huge thing to America and that the devastation will always be instilled in our minds," said Shalmont High School senior Maire Hewitt.

If you're looking for the purr-fect pet for your home—or your personality—we've got a real treat for you! America Now recently visited one of the largest cat shows in the country to meet some of the kitties that might be the most compatible. Kathy Gumm, a Manx breeder, says, "Each breed has unique qualities and it depends on what you're looking for. If you want an active, in-your-face cat, we have that. If you want a quietly friendly, sit by me, be my buddy cat, we have that too."The Cat Fanciers Association recognizes more than 40 breeds and the most popular kitty on their list is the Persian.
"The Persian cat as a whole is a mellow, gentle, very amenable cat. They're actually known as the 'dumb blondes' of the cat world. They expect everything to be done for them and with them, but they're not adventuresome," says Donna Isenberg, a Persian breeder.If you like a cat that's all about action, then you might consider an Abyssinian.Dianne Henderson is an Abyssinian breeder. She says, "This breed loves to be involved with everything. Whatever you're doing. I mean you're opening the mail, this cat is sitting on your envelopes. You're cooking, it wants to help you add a spice or two. They will take a bath with you if they can. They love water. They entertain themselves, they're inquisitive, they're loving - you couldn't ask for a better breed, in my opinion."For a cat with a velvety coat, they don't come any softer than a big ball of blue-grey fur."The British shorthair has the most hairs per square inch of all the breeds of cats and so that makes their coat very cushy and plushy," says Cyndy Byrd, a British Shorthair breeder. "They're big cats and they like to be on the ground, so you don't have to worry about things that you have up on your mantle or coffee table because they're not going to jump up there and knock them off. They want to be on the floor."And if you don't like a lot of cat hair collecting around the house, then how about a cat with no fur at all?
Dee Dee Cantley, a Sphinx breeder, says, "It's funny, because everybody who looks at a sphinx, especially in pictures goes, 'Ewww. I'm not so sure.' Then they see them in person and go, 'It's a lot different than I thought it would be.' So it's kind of a cat that grows on you. They're very adaptable cats because they have kind of an outgoing personality. They're not going to hide; they're actually going to be part of your life. It's an all-purpose, naked cat!"So whether it's a short haired cat… a no-hair cat… a curious cat… or one that just goes with the flow… everyone we spoke with agreed, going to your local cat show and talking to breeders can help you determine which cat is right for you!

Pleasanton teachers agree to pay cut to reportedly save district nearly $4.6M

Thank you teachers! Parents, it's our turn now, let's make a difference too!
on Feb 19, 2010 at 6:54 pm
As a parent I guess what I can do is teach my kids those days the teachers are on their unpaid vacation days. I do not equate furlough with a pay cut. A real pay cut, like what I see in my industry, is working the same amount of hours/days but getting less.
Their statement is a bit unclear but it does sound like there will be less days of school, including this year. Not sure how that will work. I think it would be better to have teacher instruction days at no cost to the district. I know when I need to go for training, it is usually on a weekend and I do not get paid extra for it. I would be supportive of the unions on this if they still keep the same number of teaching days but it does not sound like that is the case.
on Feb 19, 2010 at 6:55 pm
I hope the concessions will preserve important programs and dedicated teachers for the children of Pleasanton.

Georgia could soon be getting it's first scenic byway, which Dougherty County
leaders hope will promote tourism.
Monday, Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to
designate the Historic Dixie Highway a scenic route. Dougherty County is
ready to join its neighbors in turn a now seldom traveled highway into an
economic development engine.
"So this is also
a great opportunity to partner regionally to see what else we can do together
to bring tourism off I-75 and onto the scenic byway," said Rashelle
Beasley, CVB Manager.
The route will begin
at the Bridge house and run South to Oglethorpe Boulevard and East to Radium
Springs road. From there, it will run
along historic route three to Thomasville.
"This particular
byway and highway is gonne be very, very specific because it goes right by
Radium Springs, which is the 7th wonder of Georgia," said Chairman Jeff
Sinyard, Dougherty County Board of Commissioners.
Peanut and cotton
field could teach visitors about the growing commodities in the region.
"We hope that
we'll be able to get the farmers involved.
So if they do see some people stopping along the Dixie Highway, they'll
know there are tourists in town. They'll
be able to stop and hopefully get off their tractors and explain how the crops
are grown," Beasley said.
Dougherty County
leaders say showcasing some of the resources in the southwest part of the state
will actually spur some business.
"We live in a
beautiful part of the county and so many people haven't seen it. And whether you're from Atlanta, or you're
from Ohio, or you're from up North close to Canada, to come down this
particular route like they did in the 20s and 30s and the 40s is pretty cool
and pretty significant," said Sinyard.
And property values
along the route could also get a boost.
"It's more for
the beauty and taking you back to a time.
I don't see it being an economic engine in terms of building buildings
on the road. I see it as part of a
bigger plan that will enhance more people traveling," Sinyard Said.
So next time you're
headed to the interstate, think about taking the scenic route instead.
Convention and Visitors Bureau Manager said there are still many steps involved
in getting the scenic highway listed on state maps. But they're hoping to have it officially
designated within the next year or two.

Longtime political mover Lucille Lagasse dies at 90
Lagasse, who was 90, was remembered for her ability to organize Republicans in the state's largest city in the 1970s and '80s. The skill landed her spots in the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and U.S. Sen. Louis Wyman.
"She worked hard, she cared about New Hampshire, she was a good Republican," said former Gov. John H. Sununu. He remembered how she organized a small coffee-fueled gathering of potential supporters when he ran for governor in 1982, something invaluable when one is a little-known politician.
"She knew a lot of people. Lucille was very helpful in convincing people to be supportive," Sununu said.
Lagasse's daughter, Paulette Weaver, said her mother was living at her Goffstown home at the time of her death. She attributed her mother's death to heart problems.
A widow for the past 35 years, Lagasse kept an active social life and sang and danced well into her 80s.
"During Friday night, she would wear out every old guy on the dance floor," said her son, Charles Lagasse.
When not doing politics or dancing, she raised a family of five children. She also advocated health and good eating, authoring a book - "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly" - that combined recipes with her homespun advice and lyrics from popular music of the post-war era, Charles Lagasse said.
Lagasse said his mother was also proud to work as an aircraft mechanic during World War II.
One of her greatest accomplishments, however, took place in 1973, when she and Roger Lawrence, a St. Anselm College biology professor, founded the American-Canadian Genealogical Society. Located on South Elm Street, the organization contains copious volumes of family, parish and historical records of French-Canadians, Acadian and Franco-American heritage.
Lagasse said it is the largest library of its kind in the world.
"She had that very organizational, leadership kind of character," Weaver said.
She said her mother's volunteer work with many charities allowed her to draw upon connections for political campaigns. Legasse was also a member of an advisory board that worked with William Loeb, the former publisher of the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News.
Lagasse represented Manchester in the New Hampshire House in the 1970s and ran in Republican primary contests for the U.S. House and Senate in the 1970s and 1980s.

Does someone have a better explaination of the governor and idle speed adjustments for the C-60?
I have a 154 and cannot get over 1900 RPM out of it. In the service manual it says 2450 +-25 RPM.
The governor never kicks in when the tractor is under load, it will kill (if bogged enough) with no attempt at increasing the engine speed no matter what position the throttle is in.
It has far, far less governor cross shaft play than my 49 Cub (which works fine) so I don't think that's the whole problem.
I went thru the service manual instructions and attempted to adjust the governor linkage, low idle screw on carb, max speed stop screw and the
governor spring screw but it had no effect. I am using a Milton auto tach gauge set on 4 cyl. to check RPM.
I had not messed with the idle mixture screw as I felt it was not important until the others were right.
Any ideas???

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Falcons struck one of the savvier deals in free agency Friday, all things considered. Signing Vikings DE Ray Edwards for five years and $30 million, with just $11 million guaranteed, according to ESPN figures, could be a masterstroke for general manager Thomas Dimitroff.
Only 26, Edwards, who's notched 16½ sacks the last two seasons, was one of the most promising pass rushers available. As in Minnesota, he'll play opposite another top-caliber right defensive end. The Falcons' John Abraham was wonderful last season, one of the NFC's best at his position.
Can Edwards get to that level? If so, Edwards' compensation looks very reasonable, given the premium for pass rushers. If not, the Falcons didn't exactly overpay in a market where teams have to reach a salary floor of around $119 million in 2011. I wasn't enthralled with Edwards as a free-agent prospect because I thought he would likely be signing to be someone's top pass rusher and for more money than he's apparently getting, but this looks to be a good fit.
Now that Dimitroff has added another talented player to his defensive line, it will be interesting to see the decisions he makes on the offensive line.
All five of the Falcons' first-team offensive linemen started all 16 games in 2010, which certainly didn't hurt Atlanta as it captured the NFC South and the No. 1 seed in the conference. However, starting OLG Justin Blalock remains unsigned and ORG Harvey Dahl agreed to a deal with the Rams on Friday, which is a blow. The Falcons agreed with Pro Bowl ORT Tyson Clabo on a five-year deal on Thursday night, keeping one key blocker in the fold. Clabo was expected to arrive at the team facility Friday night.
"I was excited probably more than anybody to get him back, because (it) makes my job easier to have an extra set of experienced eyes on the field," Falcons C Todd McClure said Friday morning. "He may see something that I miss. He helps me out a bunch. Talking with Matt (Ryan), he was pretty excited to see him get signed back, too. He said he starts feeling a little bit better in his ribs every time we sign one of our guys back."
Said Falcons head coach Mike Smith: "We want to put our best players out there on the field, and of course, in the past, Tyson has been a very, very good player for us. We certainly hope by the end of the week he's here with us."
Mike Johnson, a 2010 third-round pick, looks the favorite to step in if Blalock doesn't come back, with 2009 fifth-rounder Garrett Reynolds perhaps the front-runner to replace Dahl.
McClure, asked if there was a "concern" about new faces at guard, answered in the affirmative.
"That's a concern for me," the Falcons' longtime center said jokingly as reporters chuckled. "The comfort level goes down a little bit when you've got new guys beside you. Hopefully they'll get one or two of those guys back beside me. The least amount of fresh people you've got in there, the better it is. But I think they'll make it happen."
If it doesn't, McClure has confidence in Johnson and Reynolds.
"Those guys, they're very capable," McClure said. "They work hard. Obviously I'd like to have my guys back, but if not, I know we've got guys who can step in and play."
The Falcons kept their Pro Bowl right tackle, and they added a young and athletic pass rusher. A nice start to defending their NFC South title. Now, let's see how they decide to defend Matt Ryan, Michael Turner and Co.

For thousands of years, Eastern cultures have revered mushrooms' health benefits.1 Mushrooms have long been celebrated as a source of powerful nutrients, but they can also help Americans meet the dietary recommendations set forth in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines and Institute of Medicine's Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D.
Often grouped with vegetables, mushrooms provide many of the nutritional attributes of produce, as well as attributes more commonly found in meat, beans or grains. Mushrooms are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and very low in sodium, yet they provide important nutrients, including selenium, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D and more.
Read on to discover some of nature's hidden treasures found in mushrooms.
The focus on the nutritional value of brightly colored fruits and vegetables has unintentionally left mushrooms in the dark. Mushrooms provide a number of nutrients:
- Mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid, which help to provide energy by breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates2. B vitamins also play an important role in the nervous system.
- Pantothenic acid helps with the production of hormones and also plays an important role in the nervous system2.
- Riboflavin helps maintain healthy red blood cells2.
- Niacin promotes healthy skin and makes sure the digestive and nervous systems function properly2.
- Mushrooms are also a source of important minerals:
- Selenium is a mineral that works as an antioxidant to protect body cells from damage that might lead to heart disease, some cancers and other diseases of aging2. It also has been found to be important for the immune system and fertility in men3. Many foods of animal origin and grains are good sources of selenium, but mushrooms are among the richest sources of selenium in the produce aisle and provide 8-22 mcg per serving4. This is good news for vegetarians, whose sources of selenium are limited.
- Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring antioxidant that also may help protect the body's cells. Mushrooms provide 2.8-4.9 mg of ergothioneine per serving of white, portabella or crimini mushrooms5.
- Copper helps make red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. Copper also helps keep bones and nerves healthy2.
- Potassium is an important mineral many people do not get enough of. It aids in the maintenance of normal fluid and mineral balance, which helps control blood pressure. It also plays a role in making sure nerves and muscles, including the heart, function properly2. Mushrooms have 98-376 mg of potassium per 84 gram serving, which is 3-11 percent of the Daily Value4.
- Beta-glucans, found in numerous mushroom species, have shown marked immunity-stimulating effects, contribute to resistance against allergies and may also participate in physiological processes related to the metabolism of fats and sugars in the human body. The beta-glucans contained in oyster, shiitake and split gill mushrooms are considered to be the most effective6.
Read research about the nutrient composition of mushrooms here.
Scientists at City of Hope were some of the first to find a potential link between mushrooms and a decreased likelihood of tumor growth and development in cells and animals. City of Hope researchers now plan to apply this research to human clinical trials.
Read more about research that investigates mushrooms and cancer here.
Mushrooms are the leading source of the essential antioxidant selenium in the produce aisle. Antioxidants, like selenium, protect body cells from damage that might lead to chronic diseases. They help to strengthen the immune system, as well2. In addition, mushrooms provide ergothioneine, a naturally occurring antioxidant that may help protect the body's cells.
Learn more about research that ties mushrooms to supporting a healthy immune system here.
Mushrooms are hearty and filling. Preliminary research suggests increasing intake of low-energy-density foods (meaning few calories given the volume of food), specifically mushrooms, in place of high-energy-density foods, like lean ground beef, can be an effective method for reducing daily energy and fat intake while still feeling full and satiated after the meal7.
Read about weight management/satiety research here.
Umami is the fifth basic taste after sweet, salty, bitter and sour. Derived from the Japanese word umai, meaning "delicious," umami (pronounced oo-MAH-mee) is described as a savory, brothy, rich or meaty taste sensation. It's a satisfying sense of deep, complete flavor, balancing savory flavors and full-bodied taste with distinctive qualities of aroma and mouthfeel.8 The more umami present in food, the more flavorful it will be. All mushrooms are a rich source of umami and the darker the mushroom the more umami it contains.
Another interesting characteristic about umami is that it counterbalances saltiness and allows for less salt to be used in a meal, without compromising flavor. "Tasting Success with Cutting Salt," a collaborative report from the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute of America, suggests cooking with umami-rich ingredients, like mushrooms, instead of salt to reduce the overall sodium in a dish.
Learn more about umami and sodium research here.
When building your plate to maximize vitamin D, consider mushrooms – they're the only source of vitamin D in the produce aisle and one of the few non-fortified food sources. In fact, the IOM recognizes them as the exception to the rule that plant foods don't naturally contain vitamin D.
Read on to learn about vitamin D, or review the research here.
MyPlate – which replaced the Food Pyramid – is a simple visual reference and educational tool that reminds Americans how and what to eat to best meet the 2010 Dietary Guidelines. Thanks to their nutrient-profile and versatility, mushrooms are uniquely suited to do just that. Fresh mushrooms can be added to everyday dishes to provide an extra serving of vegetables and deliver important nutrients including niacin, selenium, and riboflavin. Mushrooms also have vitamin D, ergothionene, and potassium.* Read on to learn more about mushrooms' role on the plate.

Like all fruits and vegetables, mushrooms are naturally gluten free, and make a delicious and nutritious addition to a gluten-free diet.

Carbon Hill quarterback, Conner Young finished the evening 7-for-24, picking up 107 passing yards and one passing touchdown. The Bulldog backfield contributed with 100 yards on the ground. In the end, the Pirates were too strong on both sides of the ball as they went on to win 62-7.
The Pirates jumped out to a fantastic start as they scored on their first three possessions. The first score came when Zachary Taylor rumbled into the end zone from 1 yard out. The second touchdown came when Winfield quarterback Hagen Stovall got around to the left side and darted into the end zone from 25 yards out.
And the third score happened when Zachary Taylor bounced to the outside and waltzed into the end zone from 19 yards out. With 5:09 remaining in the first quarter, Winfield had a 21-0 lead.
A bit of hope arose for the Bulldogs when Young connected with Jacob Hudson on a 46-yard pass and catch for a touchdown. A Young extra point made the score 21-7 with 3:58 left in the first quarter.
Carbon Hill would get no closer.
On the Pirates following drive, Stovall connected with Reginald Nalls on a 35-yard touchdown strike. A Dillon Roberts extra point made the score 28-7 with 2:26 to go in the first quarter.
After a fumble recovery, the Bulldogs took over deep in their own territory.
The forced fumble was all for nothing as Young was intercepted by John Weeks, who returned it all the way for a touchdown. With 7:30 left in the second quarter, Winfield had a commanding 35-7 lead.
After yet another Bulldog three-and-out, the Pirates took over. On the first play of the drive, Jared Miles got around to the left side and sprinted 80 yards to the end zone to put Winfield on top 42-7.
After a fumbled kickoff, the Pirates took over deep in Bulldog territory. Winfield struck again with 5:29 left in the second quarter, as Miles pounded it into the end zone from 6 yards out. A blocked extra point left the score 48-7.
The Pirates' momentum carried over into the second half as they scored on their first play from scrimmage. This touchdown came when Reginald Nalls showed his athleticism and ran 65 yards into the end zone. Yet another Roberts extra point made the score 55-7 with 7:33 left in the third quarter.
The final Winfield score came when Miles returned a punt for a touchdown with 5:50 remaining in the third quarter to make the final 62-7.
With the game in the books, Carbon Hill fell to 1-8, whereas Winfield jumped to 7-2.
Next week Carbon Hill takes on Cold Springs at home while Winfield travels to Lamar County.

Bedsores — also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers — are injuries to skin and underlying tissues that result from prolonged pressure on the skin. Bedsores most often develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as the heel, ankles, hips or buttocks.
People most at risk of bedsores are those with a medical condition that limits their ability to change positions, requires them to use a wheelchair or confines them to a bed for prolonged periods.
Bedsores can develop quickly and are often difficult to treat. Several care strategies can help prevent some bedsores and promote healing.
Bedsores fall into one of four stages based on their severity. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, a professional organization that promotes the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, has defined each stage as follows.
Stage I
The beginning stage of a pressure sore has the following characteristics:
Stage II
The stage II ulcer is an open wound:
Stage III
At this stage, the ulcer is a deep wound:
Stage IV
A stage IV ulcer exhibits large-scale loss of tissue:
Common sites of pressure sores
For people who use a wheelchair, pressure sores often occur on skin over the following sites:
For people who are confined to a bed, common sites include the following:
When to see a doctor
Inspection of the skin should be a part of routine nursing or home care for anyone who is confined for a long time to a wheelchair or bed or for anyone who has limited ability to reposition himself or herself. Contact your doctor right away if you notice any signs or symptoms of a pressure ulcer. Get immediate medical care if a person under your care shows signs of infection, such as fever, drainage or foul odor from a sore, or increased heat and redness in the surrounding skin.
Pressure sores are caused by pressure against the skin that inhibits an adequate supply of blood to skin and underlying tissues. Other factors related to limited mobility can make the skin vulnerable to damage and contribute to the development of pressure sores. There are three primary contributing factors:
Anyone with limited mobility — unable to easily change position while seated or in bed — is at risk of developing pressure sores. Immobility may be due to:
Other factors that increase the risk of pressure sores include:
Complications of pressure ulcers include:
Evaluating a bedsore
To evaluate your bedsore, your doctor will:
Questions from the doctor
Your doctor may ask you or your caregiver questions such as:
Your doctor may order the following tests:
Stage I and stage II pressure sores usually heal within several weeks to months with conservative care of the wound and with ongoing, appropriate general care that manages risk factors for pressure sores. Stage III and IV pressure sores are more difficult to treat. In a person who has a terminal illness or multiple chronic medical conditions, pressure sore treatment may focus primarily on managing pain rather than complete healing of a wound.
Treatment team
Addressing the many aspects of wound care usually requires a multidisciplinary approach. Members of a care team may include:
Relieving pressure
The first step in treating a sore at any stage is relieving the pressure that caused it. Strategies to reduce pressure include the following:
Removing damaged tissue
To heal properly, wounds need to be free of damaged, dead or infected tissue. Removing these tissues (debridement) is accomplished with a number of methods, depending on the severity of the wound, your overall condition and the treatment goals. Options include:
Cleaning and dressing wounds
Care that promotes healing of the wound includes the following:
Other interventions
Other interventions that may be used are:
Surgical repair
Pressure sores that fail to heal may require surgical intervention. The goals of surgery include improving the hygiene and appearance of the sore, preventing or treating infection, reducing fluid loss through the wound, and lowering the risk of cancer.
The type of reconstruction that's best in any particular case depends mainly on the location of the wound and whether there's scar tissue from a previous operation. In general, though, most pressure wounds are repaired using a pad of the person's own muscle, skin or other tissue to cover the wound and cushion the affected bone (flap reconstruction).
Treating and preventing pressure sores is demanding on the at-risk person, family members and caregivers. Issues that may need to be addressed by the doctor, nursing staff and social worker include the following:
Bedsores are easier to prevent than to treat, but that doesn't mean the process is easy or uncomplicated. And wounds may still develop with consistent, appropriate preventive care.
Your doctor and other members of a care team can help develop a strategy that's appropriate whether it's personal care with at-home assistance or professional care in a hospital or residential setting.
Position changes are key to pressure sore prevention. These changes need to be frequent, repositioning needs to avoid stress on the skin, and body positions need to minimize the risk of pressure on vulnerable areas. Other strategies include skin care, regular skin inspections and good nutrition.
Repositioning in a wheelchair
Repositioning in a wheelchair includes the following recommendations:
Repositioning in a bed
Repositioning for a person confined to a bed includes the following recommendations:
Skin care
Protecting and monitoring the condition of the skin is important for preventing pressure sores and identifying stage I sores before they worsen.
Your doctor, dietitian or other members of the care team can recommend dietary changes that can help improve the health of your skin.
Other strategies
Other strategies that can help decrease the risk of pressures sores include the following:

CATEGORIES DVDsThere's something for everyone this week. For adults, there's the gentle romance 'Adam,' starring the talented Hugh Dancy and the lovely Rose Byrne; for the teens there's the harrowing 3D ride to 'The Final Destination'; and for the youngsters (and young-at-heart) there's the animated 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.' So warm up your DVD players and ring in the new year of DVD releases. 'The Final Destination'
What It's About: It's the fourth outing in the popular series -- this time in 3D. As with the three previous films, this one opens with our hero having a premonition of death -- this time at the races where a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands -- and he persuades his friends to leave before the events come to fruition. But death can't be cheated, and it again comes calling in a variety of gruesome and gory ways.
It's Kinda Like: 'Final Destination' 1, 2 and 3
What We Say: This series consistently comes up with more carnage and more and more elaborate Rube Goldberg-inspired ways to die. And there's plenty of objects willing to help out: swimming pool suction pumps, acetylene tanks, gas can spills and power mowers. And death haunts a beauty salon and a multiplex theater. Forget the characters -- they're just there to die. What more could gore diehards want? The fun is in the trip, not the final destination. Especially when they throw lethal objects at you from the screen.
'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs'
What It's About: A charming animated tale about an inventor whose latest contraption works too well -- it turns water into food. When Flint Lockwood's latest invention accidentally destroys the town square and rockets up into the clouds, he thinks his inventing career is over ... until cheeseburgers start raining from the sky, turning him into a celebrity and putting his town on the map. But then the machine starts to run amok, unleashing spaghetti tornadoes and giant meatballs that threaten the world.
It's Kinda Like: 'Ratatouille' meets 'The Absent-Minded Professor' and 'Colossus: The Forbin Project'
What We Say: Though adults will be amused with the premise of the film and the imaginative animated characters and story line, it's really a tale for the kids -- it is, after all, based on a 30-page 1978 children's book. Still, it's an absorbing 90-minute ride with a spectacularly elaborate science fiction ending. And the 3D version is like being immersed in a college food fight.

(Available for Rental Only, until Feb. 2)
The typical rom-com premise -- a lovely New York schoolteacher falls for a socially inept but handsome guy -- gets a new spin by theater director Max Mayer. Hugh Dancy plays a brilliant young electronic engineer who meets his new neighbor (Rose Byrne) and the two start to fall for each. The complication: Adam has a developmental disorder known as Asperger's syndrome, which makes it difficult for him to interact with others.
It's Kinda Like: 'Forrest Gump' meets 'Untamed Heart'
What We Say: Given the problems that people with Asperger's have in maintaining relationships, the film could have wallowed in self-pity -- but doesn't. There's no pat resolution for these two mismatched lovers but there is an emotionally potent performance by the generally underrated Dancy, and Byrne's radiance lights up the screen. There's gently offbeat humor, honesty, and warmth -- it's a touching film that says a lot about the strength and resilience of the human heart in facing the obstacles that get in the way of love.

Pastor Dennis Culbreth said the contemporary service has gained popularity, especially with younger families.
"It seems like younger families like earlier services — they can go to church and get out early and have the rest of the day," he said. "That's why the contemporary service will be early."
The contemporary service will be held at 8:30 each Sunday morning, Sunday school will begin at 9:50, and the traditional service will start at 11.
"We are going to treat each service equally," he said. "Some people just worship better with a different style. We are trying to offer something for everyone."
Culbreth said the contemporary service is more laid back, even to the point that he will have a different wardrobe for it.
"We want it to be comfortable," he said. "I'll be wearing dress pants and button up shirt for it. I'll be in a suit and tie for the traditional service."
The recent addition of Ken Nuss as JFBC's minister of music has made the change in schedule possible, Culbreth said.
"Ken is very talented, and he has some talented musicians to work with at the church," he said.
Nuss said he has led contemporary services at other churches and said songs from artists such as Hillsong, Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin will be normal for that service. He said the traditional service will feature hymns. The contemporary service will be led by a band a praise team, while the traditional service will feature a choir and orchestra.
"We think the contemporary style will help us a reach a demographic that our traditional service wouldn't reach," Nuss said. "A large percentage of the population is unchurched, and we want to do what we can to reach those folks."

Each week in Stage Door I offer theater tips for the weekend, sometimes with a few pieces of theater news.
The Whipping Man opened on Wednesday at Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati. The show made a big splash at Manhattan Theatre Club in New York last spring with Andre Braugher in the central role of Simon, a dedicated former slave who remains in a ruined mansion in 1865 Richmond in the days just after the Civil War. Caleb, the wounded son of his former master stumbles in (desperately needing some horrendous surgery) and then John, another former slave, a young man raised side by side with Caleb. The slave-owning family was Jewish, and it's almost time for Passover, which they decide to celebrate. It's a powerful show about freedom and responsibility with some jaw-dropping plot twists. Director D. Lynn Meyers gets the most from her cast. This one is a must-see. Onstage through Feb. 12.
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company announced today (Merry Christmas!) that it will add a performance to its season with the regional premiere of Vern Thiessen's Shakespeare's Will. Veteran Cincinnati actress and CSC Ensemble member Sherman Fracher will take on 10 performances of the one-woman show, Jan. 21-Feb. 5, 2012. (The production will run concurrently with Henry VIII: All is True.) CSC's producing artistic director, Brian Isaac Phillips, is staging the piece.
If you're thinking of submitting a production for the 2012 Cincy Fringe Festival, now is the time to solidify your thoughts and get your application in to Know Theatre, the Fringe's organizer. Friday Dec. 16 is the absolutely final day to do so. Follow this link for details, but don't dally — this is a firm deadline.
The Fringe typically offers about 35 productions during its two-week run, May 30-June 9, 2012, this year. The Fringe is a juried festival that employs a selection committee composed of local artistic directors, actors, writers and producers to select which acts will be included. They study the sample material submitted with applications, then make recommendations based on several key factors:
Among the eight winners announced for the 2012 Governor's Awards for the Arts in Ohio are several Cincinnatians. Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park Producing Artistic Director Ed Stern, who retires at the end of the current theater season, and Executive Director Buzz Ward have been named the recipient of the year's recognition in the field of Arts Administration. Louise D. Nippert will be honored in the category of Arts Patron.
I've extolled the virtues of White Christmas at the Covedale Center in my CityBeat review, but I'm not the only one who feels that way. The judging panel from the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) has chimed in with an award for Dan Doerger, playing the role of Phil Davis, originated in the 1954 film by Danny Kaye. I would have also recognized Rick Kramer, playing Doerger's song-and-dance partner, Bob Wallace (played by Bing Crosby in the movie). The LCT panelists cited the "marvelous chemistry" between the two of them. Doerger, who dances as well as he sings and acts, was seen recently in Covedale productions of Singin' in the Rain and Annie Get Your Gun. White Christmas continues through Dec. 23.
Let's give credit where credit is due. The League of Cincinnati Theatres award process moved quickly (if incompletely) on recognizing the Cincinnati Playhouse production of Always … Patsy Cline, which opened just a week ago today. The judging panel singled out costume designer Gordon DeVinney for his work. A panel member commented, "If you look at images of Pasty online, these 'looks' are incredibly authentic and evoke her persona in a startling and effective combination of era and personality." DeVinney is the Playhouse's costume shop manager; he has designed more than 30 productions for the Playhouse.
Well, the erratic LCT awards got this one right — even if the announcement arrives almost two weeks after the brief run of Oklahoma! at UC's College-Conservatory of Music. (Nov. 17-20). Three performers and the show's director and choreographer have been cited by a judging panel from the League of Cincinnati Theatres. The recreation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's trend-setting musical from 1943 is certainly one of the best productions I've seen all season. It marshaled the forces of 35 and an orchestra of more than 40 musicians. It's not likely that you'll see such a production anywhere but at a school like CCM
Professor of Musical Theatre Diana Lala, the show's director and choreographer, was recognized with an LCT award for the show's outstanding choreography. LCT panelists praised the quality and quantity of dancing, based on Agnes DeMille's legendary work for the original 1943 Broadway production, as well as its "flawless" execution.
Three student performers were cited for their contributions to the show. Senior John Riddle from Vermillion, Ohio, was awarded for his performance as a leading actor, playing the cowboy Curly McLain. Senior Julia Johanos from Louisville, Colorado, was similarly recognized as a leading actress in a musical for playing Laurey Williams, the object of Curly's romantic attention. One LCT judge said the leads "knocked this one out of the park with depth, musical talent and romantic chemistry." Senior Eric Huffman from Lenexa, Kansas, played cowboy Will Parker, a featured role for which LCT recognized him as a "confident dancer, good singer and truly gifted actor."
