Help and FAQs
What are Trinity's hours of operation?
Trinity School is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm EST. We are closed for all major holidays. Should you call and get a recording during the day, please leave a detailed message. We check messages daily and will return calls as soon as possible.
What is the value of an ND diploma/education?
An N.D. diploma demonstrates to the public that you have been trained in the science and practice of Naturopathy. It also signifies that you have passed the appropriate exams required for the diploma. You will obtain knowledge of alternative natural health, which will serve you well as you seek to help others in obtaining and maintaining health. As in any program or endeavor, the benefits you will receive from the program will be in direct correlation to the effort you put into the program.
What will I be able to do with this type of education? Can I prescribe or diagnose or perform surgeries?
Our programs are focused on personal enrichment. It is possible to start your own business and take on clients to counsel people in the areas of natural health. As far as using this in a public organization (such as a doctor's office, schools or nursing homes) it really depends on that organization and what their requirements are. We do not provide job placement once you have graduated from the program.
Prescribing, diagnosing and performing surgeries is generally a part of the "practice of medicine" and it would be a violation of state medical practice laws for anyone to prescribe, diagnose or perform surgeries without holding the appropriate state license. A federal drug license is also needed to prescribe drugs legally. Naturopaths do not prescribe or advocate the use of drugs. Typically, Naturopaths are referred to as "drugless doctors." A traditional naturopathic education does not include training in surgery.
May I put the N.D. designation (or any of the other designations) after my name?
You may always put any educational or professional designation after your name, but a few states license naturopaths and unless you are licensed in those states, you cannot practice or identify yourself as a naturopath (N.D.)
Is Naturopathy licensed in my state?
Trinity School does not keep individual state laws and regulations on file as they are constantly changing. Contact your local and/or state government office to inquire about practicing legality in your state. Washington D.C. has a registration law. Some states have not finalized their laws due to legal challenges from those who believe that naturopathy should not be licensed and is a public domain. If laws change after the completion of your program it is ultimately up to that state as to how they handle the situation. Some states may choose to "grandfather" in prior ND's, while others may not.
A helpful website to start a search for licensing information may be on this website, http://www.anma.org/stlaws2.html.
Does your school have a license or accreditation?
Trinity School is accredited and recognized by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board, Inc. in Las Vegas, Nevada (www.anmab.org). We have not, nor do we plan to seek accreditation through the U.S. Department of Education.
Are you able to give referrals or information on practitioners?
To preserve the privacy of our students/graduates, we do not release student or graduate contact information. We do have graduates listed on our website, and that information is available as public record.
I am interested in your school, but I am wondering how your school compares with others.
Trinity School of Natural Health has one of the best direct education program available in naturopathy. We have 5 comprehensive programs composed of a variety of well-designed courses. Our students frequently contact us to tell us how excited they are over the course materials. We use the best textbooks available. We have student service representatives to assist you with any problem you may encounter. We are able to offer two of the five programs in Spanish. You will be pleased to know that we are generally thousands of dollars or less that any other self-study, direct education program offered in this field, in the U.S.
How does Trinity School compare with on-campus programs?
Our self-study approach means that you can study at your own pace, without leaving your home and moving to a campus site. Price is another consideration. Campus programs require tuition large enough to pay for buildings, dormitories, dining facilities, gyms and other facilities that have nothing to do with naturopath. On campus programs cost $50,000 to $60,000 more than Trinity School.
How many students are currently enrolled in your programs?
We have many students currently enrolled in our program and enrollments are steadily increasing .
How many graduates do you have?
Trinity School has over 5700 graduates.
Do you have any samples of course work or diplomas that you can send me?
We do not have samples of diplomas or coursework at this time. Submitted course work must be typed (unless the directions in the front of the test say differently). Questions on tests can be in a variety of formats (True/False, Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank, Short Essay or Short Answer).
The course work is completed by reading a text book and answering the questions that go with that book. At this time, there are no videos or assignments in addition to the tests.
Do you offer any of your classes in a classroom-type setting?
Currently, Trinity is primarily a correspondence school. Our CNHP program does require attendance however, in 2015 this CNHP Program will be available by correspondence as well.
Do I have to come to Trinity School for any reason?
You do not need to come to Trinity School for any reason. You complete the programs we offer in the privacy and convenience of your own home. All course work is submitted through the mail or by e-mail. Once the course work is graded, the Staff at Trinity School will e-mail your grade to you. Diplomas are mailed upon successful completion of all course work. The CNHP program is the only exception at this time.
How long does it take to complete the program?
Each program is done at your own pace. The average time of completion for each program is:
•Doctor of Naturopathy: 2 years
•Master Herbalist: 1 to 1-˝ years
•Certificate in Nutritional Counseling: 1 to 1 ˝ years
•Master Iridologist: 1 to 1-˝ years
•Certified Health Specialist: 6 to 8 months
•Associate Degree in Biblical Studies: 1 to 1 ˝ years
What do the hours mean that are listed beside each course?
The hours listed there are an estimated amount of study hours that you should plan on spending on each course.
How long do I have to complete the program?
Each program has a maximum amount of time to complete it. If the program is not completed within the allotted time frame, all tuition is considered fully earned and not refunded. There is no set time in which the student must complete any individual course; however, the student must complete the program within the time limit given per program.
The student will have five (5) years to complete the All 5 Program Option, four (4) years to complete the All 4 Program Option, three (3) years to complete the Doctor of Naturopathy Program, two (2) years to complete the Master Herbalist Program, Certificate in Nutritional Counseling Program or Associate Degree in Biblical Studies Program; or one (1) year to complete the Master Iridologist or Certified Health Specialist Programs. Should an additional program be added, the student will be given two (2) months per class to complete that program.
Should a student wish to enroll in individual classes and not a program, that student will have a three (3) month time limit per class. Should the class not be completed within that time frame, all policies will apply and the student will not be eligible for a refund on the individual classes as monies paid would be considered fully earned.
What are the requirements to enroll? Do I need a Bachelor's or a Master's degree?
We require the minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent to enroll in any program we offer. You do not need a Bachelor's or a Master's degree to enroll.
I have taken classes from other schools; can I have courses waived in this program?
You may submit copies of transcripts for review. Any study you have already completed will be of help to you in your course of study. Since Trinity School is committed to graduating the finest trained naturopaths, we do not give credit for studies completed unless accompanied by a transcript and a course description. Trinity School is very selective in the credit that we issue. We can waive a maximum of 3 classes (depending on the program you choose). If classes are waived, monetary credit could be given towards tuition. CNHP seminars will not waive individual classes in our programs.
If I complete your programs, are the courses I've taken transferable to another school or organization?
Each school sets its own policy on accepting credits from other institutions. We cannot guarantee that other schools will offer comparable courses and give credit for work completed at Trinity School. However, we will furnish you with an official transcript and course description for you to use.
How can I get started with a program?
To get started, you need to submit an application. With the application, you will need to also submit a form of payment (please refer to payment information). We accept personal checks, money orders, cashiers checks and credit cards. We accept the following credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover.
When can I enroll?
We have open enrollment. You can enroll whenever you are ready to begin the program.
Can I enroll by phone?
Students can enroll online or by mail. Applications may also be faxed to Trinity School. Enrollments for Live Events may be completed by phone.
When can I order my books?
You can order the books at any time from Reagan's Bookstore (www.reagansbookstore.com) or through any other bookstore of your choice. Please be sure you order the correct version of the book (Reagan's Bookstore has the information on each book on their website, such as the ISBN #, the Author, etc). You can order all the books at one time, or you can order the books as you need them. The price of the textbooks depends on the program you choose. Reagan's Bookstore does offer a 10% student discount off the publisher's price. Please send all bookstore order forms to Reagan's Bookstore, not Trinity School.
What are the tuition fees? Can I get Financial Aid? Do you offer installment plans? Are books included in the tuition fees?
Your ability to use financial aid for our programs depends on the organization providing the funding. Please check with them. We do not provide a school code.
Books are an additional cost for the program. These can be purchased through Reagan's Bookstore (www.reagansbookstore.com). We do recommend using Reagan's Bookstore. They have all our selected and required books and materials. You are not required to purchase from them. However, there may be a few books that are only available at Reagan's Bookstore.

How are you able to offer lower tuition prices compared to your competitors?
We are able to offer lower tuition prices to our students because we are a not-for-profit organization.
What if I want to take just one class at a time?
If you do not want to enroll in an entire program (however, it is cost effective to enroll in a program) the cost would be $250 per class, plus the cost of book.
If you are already enrolled in a program, but want just an additional class (not another program) the cost is $200 per class, plus the cost of book.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes, we do offer a variety of discounts. A maximum of 2 discounts can be issued at any one time. The discounts available are:
1) Paid in full Discount
2) Waiving of classes (maximum of 3 classes)
3) CNHP discount (available on ND program, All 4 programs or All 5 programs only)
4) Any monthly discount
The CNHP discount is ONLY applied when the CNHP Program is completed. Completion of the CNHP Program will waive the Dissertation that is required in the Doctor of Naturopathy curriculum. The CNHP Program will NOT waive individual classes in our program.
****Discounts are subject to change without notice****
Can I study with others? Is there a discount for this?
You are more than welcome to study with others. There is no discount for study groups. Studying with others is a great way to understand the material! However, when it comes to the test answers, you must answer them on your own. We do realize that some of the answers will be identical (such as multiple choice, or true/false), and this is unavoidable. We will not accept a photocopy of answers for more than one student. If it is found by Trinity School that the answers are identical to another student, you may be asked to resubmit your work and/or you could also be assessed up to a 10% penalty on your grade. The issuance of the penalty is at the discretion of the Staff at Trinity School.
Are there study groups in my area that I can join?
Trinity School does not maintain a list of available study groups or support groups.
Once I submit my application, when will I receive my materials? What will I receive?
The processing of your application can take up to 2 weeks. Upon payment approval, you will get an e-mail directing you to start accessing coursework online. If you choose to pay for shipping to have the tests mailed to you, please allow 7-10 business days for shipping. We do our best to process applications in a timely manner.
How often are materials sent to me? How do I know what order to follow?
If you have paid for your program in full, you will get access to all of tests at one time. You can work on the courses in any order you choose.
If you are on the installment plan, You will get access to the first 2 or 3 courses (depending on the program you choose). Each monthly payment will provide you access to a new class. This would be available through your student log-in each month, unless you are receiving your coursework via USPS.
Do I have to complete everything I see that is listed with the N.D. program?
Yes, you will need to complete all of the coursework listed under the N.D. program. We cannot make any substitutions in any of the programs.
What do I do if I have a question on a test? Do you have instructors?
The staff at Trinity School tries help as much as possible. Most of our programs are completed by correspondence and are self-study programs. If you have a question on a test, you will speak to the person that grades that test. We can guide you to the page where the answer may be located. We cannot, under any circumstance, give you the answer to the question. We are only able to help on a limited amount of questions because the tests are open book. This is at the discretion of the test grader. The CNHP program, at this time, does have instructors as this is an event that you would attend in person.
What is the Dissertation?
The Dissertation is a research paper that in required in the ND program. It must be a minimum of 45 pages, but no more than 75 pages. It must also be bound before submitting this for grading. We do send guidelines upon enrollment in the ND program. The topic must be related to natural health. We do suggest some topics for you; however, you can choose your own topic. If you choose your own topic, you must submit an outline for approval. The only way the Dissertation will be waived is by completing the CNHP Program (28 different natural health topics) offered at Trinity School. Once you graduate from the CNHP Program, the dissertation is waived.
We understand students are very anxious to hear the results of the Dissertation. We make every effort to get these graded in a timely fashion. It is not uncommon for the grading process to take a minimum of 4-6 weeks. We are grateful to our students for their patience.
How do I submit a test? Once I submit a test, how long will it take for me to get the results?
Please follow the instructions at the beginning of each test. Typically, you will have to type your answers (there is no exception to this). However, some of our tests have been reformatted to include answer sheets. Please follow the instructions for each test. You can submit your test through the mail or by e-mail. Please e-mail tests to email@example.com
The Staff at Trinity School understands you are anxious to get the result of your test. We make every effort to get tests graded as quickly as possible. We are currently at a 2-4 week turn around time on grading tests. The Dissertation is currently at a minimum of a 2-3 week turn around.
We grade all tests and Dissertations in the order they are received. Please do not request that a test be moved to the front of the line for grading. We cannot do that, as it is not fair to students that have turned their tests in prior. We cannot, under any circumstance, move a test to the front of the line for grading. If you need to graduate by a certain date, please plan accordingly with the dates listed above.
Is it possible to fail a test? What do I have to do if I fail a test?
We require the minimum of an 85% or higher to pass a course. If you score below an 85%, you will be required to resubmit your answers.
If you complete the test directly online (to receive your grade instantly) and have to resubmit a test, you will have to resubmit your testing online by completing a new set of questions at no additional charge.
If your test question booklet was mailed to you or was accessed as a PDF version and the staff at Trinity School is grading your test, you only have to fix the questions that were missed and include a $25 resubmission fee. You may also resubmit your test using the online test. Submitting your test online would not incur the $25 resubmission fee.
Once you resubmit a test (by mail or online), the highest possible grade you can get is an 85%. We require that the answers for the resubmission by mail be typed. This is the ONLY time resubmissions are allowed.
When my course work is done, is there a final exam? What about an internship?
There is no final exam through Trinity School. You would, however, be eligible to complete the test offered by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board (ANMCB). ANMCB offers numerous Board Certification possibilities including American Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor and American Board Certified Master Herbalist. This certification adds a national level of competency recognized by businesses, professional associates, peers and the public. This testing is completely optional. This does not give you licensing. It will give you an extra certification to validate your knowledge. Visit www.anmcb.org for more information.
CNHP is offering a Review Class to prepare for the examination. Visit www.cnhp.org for more information.
There is no internship available.
When will I receive my diploma? Are transcripts available?
Diplomas are sent on a weekly basis to those who have completed and passed all course work and have made all required payments. You are welcome to call to check on the status of your diploma at any time. The first copy of the diploma is free (this is a larger document, approximately an 11" x 17" and on high quality professional certification paper). Any additional diploma would be $25 each. Diplomas are sent by USPS.
We also offer the diplomas in smaller sizes. We have the fax-size diploma (this is 8.5" x 11") and a wallet size diploma, both $25 per copy. Diplomas are mailed once printing has been completed.
Transcripts are also available upon request. We can send these directly to you or to an organization at any time necessary. The first transcript is free. Any additional copies are $10 each.
Once I have completed my program, can I add additional programs?
A student may decide to enroll in additional programs at any time. When a student decides to enroll in an additional program, a new application will need to be submitted to Trinity School of Natural Health. We will apply a credit to the new program by waiving classes from the original program of enrollment. The payment plan would be adjusted accordingly once the application is received.
What is the refund policy in the event I need to withdraw?
Students withdrawing within the first 30 days are eligible for a 100% refund (minus the $250 application fee). All the materials need to be returned and in sale-able condition. Withdrawing students need to send a letter stating the need to withdrawal. If materials are returned and in sale-able condition, you will get a complete refund (minus the $250 application fee). If the materials are not in sale-able condition, a small fee per module would be assessed to cover the cost to replace damaged materials. Refunds for withdrawals after 30 days will be prorated. After 6 months, tuition is considered fully earned. Once we receive all the materials and a letter requesting withdrawal, any refund due will be issued. Refunds can take a minimum of 4-6 weeks. Any issues a student has concerning refund/returns on books will need to be discussed with Reagan's Bookstore (if purchased through them). This is the ONLY way a student can be withdrawn from any program. Stopping payments or stopping course work will not withdraw a student from the program. This refund policy applies to all programs except the CNHP. The refund policy for the CNHP program is different.
Are your programs available in any other language?
We are able to offer the Master Herbalist and Doctor of Naturopathy programs in Spanish. Please contact 1-800-979-2393 for more information on these programs. At this time, we are not accepting enrollments in our Spanish Department. You may certainly enroll in any program in English.

So it was time again for my A1C and other blood tests last week. Over-time, in fact. You know how I hate going in to the lab when I have to be fasting for lipid tests and can't even have a latte on the way over in the morning. Ugh! And who ever said diabetics don't mind needles?!
Anyway, I'd been saving the review unit A1c Now SelfCheck pack I got from Bayer a few weeks ago for just this occasion. What better way to test the accuracy of home a A1C testing kit? I don't mind admitting I had very little faith in the thing. My endo had some of these in her office last year, and we tried them several times. The results were always differed wildly from the A1C I got at the hospital lab. She thought her packs might be too old, although the date on the box seemed OK.
So after dragging my behind to the hospital that day, and then enjoying a lovely post-needle cafe breakfast with my husband, I went home and snipped the seal on my A1C Now pack. Inside were all the trimmings for two tests, along with a lot of documentation and a mini-CD that's supposed to explain how to use it — which I didn't watch of course. I figured I'd be representative of the "average patient" who is too lazy to watch the CD. (Not to mention that I have ZERO patience myself and ripped right into the thing without thinking )
Lucky for me, the little fold-out Reference Guide with photos did the trick. It told me what to open first, how to prick my finger for the blood (not more than a usual BG test!), and what to open only "AFTER blood collection!" And I must have done it right, because wouldn't you know, I got 6.3 on the Bayer test, and a 6.4 reported back from the hospital lab. Pretty impressive! (Yes, for those science guys but also for me — under 6.5, Baby!)
So I got to experience the "5-minute home A1C" without the big hospital-sized blood draw, and without this view, which despite its bright colors always makes me queasy:
Here's the deal, complete with blood-stained finger:
The only slightly "Twilight Zone" aspect was the picture on the product box:
Hey, they got exactly a 6.3 result, too! Weird. Hmm, a common occurrence? Or unexplained coincidence from "the land of both shadow and substance"?
I'm not sayin' it's rigged or anything. In fact, I'm blown away by the concurrence with my hospital results. Would I shell out $15 ($30 for the two-pack) to do this at home next time as long as no lipids are required? Yes, I do believe I would, in accordance with my goal in life: staying as far away from the hospital as possible. I'm so not kidding.

Funerals become a sad routine in Newtown
A season that should be a time of joy has been marked by heart-wrenching loss in Newtown, as more victims from the massacre of 20 children and six adults are laid to rest.
Associated Press
Seattle reacts
A season that should be a time of joy has been marked by heart-wrenching loss in Newtown, as more victims from the massacre of 20 children and six adults are laid to rest.
At least nine funerals and wakes were held Wednesday for those who died when gunman Adam Lanza, armed with a military-style assault rifle, broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday and opened fire. Lanza killed his mother at her home before the attack and committed suicide at the school as police closed in.
On Thursday, five funerals and six wakes were planned, and more tributes were scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
"The first few days, all you heard were helicopters," said Dr. Joseph Young, an optometrist who attended one funeral and would go to several more. "Now at my office all I hear is the rumble of motorcycle escorts and funeral processions going back and forth throughout the day."
At St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church on Wednesday, mourners arrived for Caroline Previdi, an auburn-haired 6-year-old with an impish smile, before the service had even ended for Daniel Barden, a 7-year-old who dreamed of being a firefighter.
"It's sad to see the little coffins," said the Rev. John Inserra, a Catholic priest who worked at St. Rose for years before transferring to a church in Greenwich.
"It's always hard to bury a child," Inserra said of the seemingly unrelenting cycle of sorrow and loss. "God didn't do this. God didn't allow this. We allowed it. He said, `Send the little children to me.' But he didn't mean it this way."
Hundreds of firefighters formed a long blue line outside the church for Daniel's funeral. Two of his relatives work at the Fire Department of New York, and the gap-toothed redhead had wanted to join their ranks one day.
At Caroline's funeral, mourners wore pink ties and scarves - her favorite color - and remembered her as a New York Yankees fan who liked to kid around. "Silly Caroline" was how she was known to neighbor Karen Dryer.
"She's just a girl that was always smiling, always wanting others to smile," Dryer said.
Across town, at Christ the King Lutheran Church, hundreds gathered for the funeral of Charlotte Helen Bacon, many wearing buttons picturing the 6-year-old redhead. Speakers, including her grandfather, told of her love of wild animals, the family's golden retriever and the color pink.
She was "a beautiful little girl who could be a bit stubborn at times, just like all children," said Danbury resident Linda Clark as she left the service.
And in nearby Stratford, family and friends gathered to say goodbye to Victoria Soto, a first-grade teacher hailed as a hero for trying to shield her students, some of whom escaped. Musician Paul Simon, a family friend, performed "The Sound of Silence" at the service.
"She had the perfect job. She loved her job," said Vicky Ruiz, a friend since first grade.
In Woodbury, a line of colleagues, students and friends of slain Sandy Hook Principal Dawn Hochsprung, 47, wrapped around the block to pay their respects to the administrator, who rushed the gunman in an effort to stop him and paid with her life. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan attended the service.
"She loved kids. She'd do anything to help them and protect them," said Joann Opulski, of Roxbury.
The symbol of Christmas took on a new meaning in Newtown, where one memorial featured 26 Christmas trees - one for each victim at the school.
Edward Kish said he bought a Christmas tree two days before the shooting but hasn't had the heart to put it up or decorate it.
"I'll still put it up, probably," he said. "It doesn't seem right, and it doesn't seem like Christmas."
Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Allen G. Breed, Helen O'Neill, John Christoffersen, Katie Zezima and Pat Eaton-Robb in Newtown; Michael Melia in Hartford; and Larry Margasak in Washington and AP Business Writer Joshua Freed in Minneapolis.

You may recall I was on Screen Junkies back in May to discuss some of my favorite movie monsters when the new Godzilla movie was hitting theaters. Just this past week, they had me back on along with Alison Haislip and Maddox to have a bracket-style tournament so we could try to decide what our favorite Christopher Nolan movie was in preparation of Interstellar hitting theaters. Here's the episode:

Shortly after the Screen Junkies shoot, I was invited back to appear on their "Movie Fights" show, and it was an incredibly fun & passionate hour-long debate about various movie topics including the new Star Wars title, Interstellar, the best directors working today, and more. We laughed a lot during that hour and I can't wait to do it again. Here's the show:

You can also listen to the episode on iTunes if you prefer it in podcast form.
Hope you enjoy both of these shows as it's always a great time talking with them and I'm glad we'll be doing more in the future. Lemme know what you think of both episodes and if you agree/disagree with what I had to say in the comments section below. Speaking of shows, I've posted some new videos to my YouTube channel recently, so be sure to check 'em out if you haven't already. That's all for now, but plenty o' updates coming soon!
This past weekend, I attended the 2014 Comikaze expo and once again had a blast meeting fans, seeing some incredible cosplayers, talking with Tommy "The Room" Wiseau and Troma's LLoyd Kaufman, and running into some icons from my childhood including John "Jambi" Paragon. As it always seems to be the case with any convention I visit, I got a bit overexcited and started yelling at absolutely everything in sight. Fortunately, we filmed every bit of it, so I hope you enjoy my Comikaze 2014 coverage in the two videos below:

And here's part 2:

Hope you enjoyed the new videos, because this was easily the most fun we've had at Comikaze so far! Big thanks to John (Dr. Boogie) for following me around all day with the camera. As always, please drop a comment on the video pages and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. More videos coming soon!
Every year, I turn my television into a Halloween Horror Movie Altar by surrounding it with some of my favorite lights and decorations, and it has certainly served me well this season. I feel like I've been watching a nonstop loop of horror movies and Halloween TV episodes for the past two months. Or has it been years? I tend to lose all track of time whenever my favorite season rolls around. But today is Halloween, and we're lucky enough to have it fall on a Friday this year, so I hope you'll all get out there and do as many Halloweeny activities as you possibly can tonight and throughout the weekend! Go trick-or-treating, put together a killer costume and go to a Halloween party, go see a horror movie marathon with your friends, turn your home into a haunted house, visit your nearest graveyard and high-five a zombie... whatever it is you wanna do, just enjoy it! Halloween is all about fun and you need to do something to celebrate it!
Halloween marks the culmination of two lengthy months of nonstop, obsessive work dedicated to my favorite holiday, so that combined with the all the fun activities going on is all the reason I need to celebrate it until my body demands that I allow it to rest. Then I eat more candy and force it to stay awake for another five hours. I dedicate an entire two months to Halloween every year. It's a huge undertaking that swallows my life from September 1st - October 31st, but it's always an absolute blast to work on and it's incredibly awesome that so many of you have made it part of your annual celebrations as well. Knowing you're enjoying all this spooky stuff I do is what keeps me going. As always, there have been a ton of updates to the site over the past two months, so here's a handy recap of some of the highlights you may have missed:
-We saw Boo Berry and company each receive retro and modern Monster Cereal box designs.
-We learned all about how many classic Pinball Machines can entertain and horrify us.
-We made more Halloween Club Packs than ever before, and they still completely sold out once again. (Thank you!!)
-We saw Protocomics tell us tales involving Werewolves and Theatre, both equally terrifying.
-We were baffled by how Night Trap was such a controversial video game for the Sega CD system.
-We listened to more tunes on the Jack-O-Juke - our Halloween music jukebox with over 200 spooky songs and counting!
-We saw Doc Mock do his best to get the Domino Rally Ghost Ride playset to actually work.
-We ate bowls of Candy Corn Pebbles cereal and discovered it tastes like maple syrup for some inexplicable reason.
-We learned just how awful Jaws IV: The Revenge truly is.
-We saw some new entries added into ever-growing list of the Greatest Horror Movie Moments.
-We devoured Krispy Kreme Ghostbusters Donuts and walked away with a slime bucket.
-We proved that wearing Slimer on your head is always fashionable.
-We took a trip back east and paid a visit to a Monster Mini Golf course in New York.
-We learned some valuable life lessons from Serial Mom.
-We visited Son of Monsterpalooza and saw an incredible gallery dedicated to the Bride of Frankenstein.
-We marveled over how Eerie Magazine produced some truly amazing covers during its run.
-We agreed that a Monster Cereal Mansion is the best home anyone could ever hope to live in.
-We saw the fantastic return of Tales From The Longbox, with an in-depth review of the original Nightmare on Elm Street comic books.
-We saw some bootleg Sungold Monster Toys, including a Freddy Krueger figure with a face tattoo.
-We were invited to another Los Angeles Halloween Convention and had a fantastic time.
-We were hypnotized by the Radko Halloween Candolier and its magical pumpkin bubbles.
-We discovered that Horror Movie Paperback Covers are often better than the movie posters.
-We conducted yet another massive and extremely thorough Halloween Candy Taste Test.
-We saw another collection of amazing and insane Foreign Horror Movie Posters.
-We laughed at just how wonderfully ridiculous Leprechaun In Space really is.
-We cringed at the Worst Halloween Costumes of the 2014 season.
-We were totally surprised when General Mills sent us an amazing Monster Makeover collection of their Monster Cereal boxes.
-We learned that the music video for "Torture" by The Jacksons is just as important to watch in October as Thriller.
-We saw how Universal Studios Party Monsters celebrate the season better than any of us.
-We were happy to see The Creature from the Black Lagoon get an art show dedicated all to him!
-And last but not least, we decided that Nightmare Feddy is even better than Freddy Krueger, and we all want to be his friend.
You know there is no time I enjoy more than Halloween each year, and having so many of you making I-Mockery your online Halloween home truly makes it all the better. I really try to give you guys the best and widest variety of Halloween coverage you'll find anywhere online every season - from visiting haunts and reviewing movies, to taste testing candies and tracking down the most absurd novelties and more, I always try to make every season special and filled with surprises. Please stick around and continue to share the site with your friends, and I'll do my best to keep that tradition going strong for years to come.
I'll likely have some post-Halloween photos up here along with some other big site updates soon, so be sure to check back often. As always, I must thank Dr. Boogie and Protoclown for their fantastic contributions to our Halloween celebration. I also gotta give Re major credit for allowing me to make our home look like it was hit by a Halloween hurricane these past few months.
Of course, a huge thanks again to you for sticking with us during our annual "Two Months of Halloween" celebration. It's a lot of work to put all this content together, but it's a lot of fun too, and your continued feedback definitely helps keep my energy up throughout the season.

Doc Mock's Mini Mausoleum has returned for another spooktacular YouTube episode, and this time he reviews the scariest set of dominoes you'll ever lay your eyes on: The Domino Rally Glow In The Dark Ghost Ride!

Thanks for watching and be sure to drop a comment to lemme know what you think of these spooky Halloween dominoes! Also, if you missed the previous Doc Mock episodes, you can check them out here: Halloween Cuponk set and Baby Ghost Ducks.
Lastly, since this set looked so amazing when lit up with black lights (just like it did in the Domino Rally commercial), I decided to take some close-up photos of the individual components for you. You can click on any one of them to see a larger version. Hit the jump to see all the pics. Hope you enjoy 'em! (more...)
I don't usually post other people's videos on here, but my pal Ethan Newberry (who many of you know as "Licky" from our Doc Mock's Movie Mausoleum show) has been doing some really impressive runs in recent times, and he films all of them to share on YouTube. However, this past weekend he was training at night for a run when something extremely creepy happened to him. Rather than try to explain it, I'll let you watch the footage he just posted:

I have been having a slight issue where I get a little pain right behind where my collar bone stops towards the shoulder. It sorta feels like its in the trap. I don't get any pain when I and lifting from any exercise, just when I try and push my shoulder down and forward for a most muscular type pose. I can feel it tense in the area, slight pain, and like something needs to be popped.
It just sorta started happening slowly still not very bad feeling just want to take precautions if it might be something I need to start stretching, and looking out for. Been doing some towel stretches for the past few days, and it seems a little bit better.
Any other information on what it might be, and any other precautionary measures I might try? Helpful posts will be repped.

Running test suits sometimes involves overheads, because every time a test suit is executed, the whole environment (for example, the entire Rails environment for Rails applications) should be reloaded. You can avoid it using the Spork DRb server, which loads the environment only once.
With the Spork DRb server running in the background, you have a choice to execute any testing script using the Spork DRb server, or locally.
In this section:
- Prerequisites
- Launching Spork DRb server
- Running test scripts with Spork DRb server
- Debugging tests under Spork DRb
- Managing Spork DRb server
- Tips
- Prior to launching Spork DRb server, make sure spork gem, and the corresponding testing gems (rspec-rails, cucumber, cucumber-rails, etc.) are used in your application.
- spork gem is added to the Gemfile.
- On the main menu, choose .
- In the Spork DRb Launch Options dialog box, select the desired testing framework, and click Run.
If you are going to use spork for the first time in your project, launch the action with the Perform bootstrap check box selected. Thus Spork will patch the testing scripts.
The Spork DRb server starts in a separate tab of the Run tool window.
- Make sure that Spork DRb server is launched using RubyMine and is running in the background.
- Run a test script, or one of its examples. Note that the option Spork DRb is automatically selected in the corresponding run configuration. If you want to run this test locally, you have to select the option None.
- Make sure the breakpoints are set in the test script you want to debug.
- On the main toolbar, click the run/debug configuration selector, and choose .
- In the Run/Debug Configurations dialog box, create run/debug configuration for Spork DRb server. Refer to the section Creating and Editing Run/Debug Configurations for detailed description of the procedure.
- Launch Spork DRb in the debug mode. To do that, with the Spork DRb run/debug configuration selected, click , or press Shift+F9Shift+F9Shift+F9Shift+F9Shift+F9Alt+F5Ctrl+F5Shift+Alt+D or Shift+F9Shift+F9Control DShift F9⌘ F11Control D.
- With the Spork DRb server running in the debug mode, run the desired test script.
Note that if you debug a test script, it will be executed without Spork DRb server.
Managing Spork DRb server
Refer to the description of the Run tool window. In particular, use the following buttons:
- - stop the Spork DRb server without closing its tab in the Run tool window.
- - close the Spork DRb server tab.
- - rerun Spork DRb server in the same tab.
- RubyMine creates a temporary run/debug configuration for Spork DRb server. Later you can change this run/debug configuration as required, save it as permanent, and use it to launch the server.
- If you are using TeamCity, avoid overhead by adding the following statement into
Spork.preload :
require 'teamcity/spec/runner/formatter/teamcity/formatter'
- Spork DRb server doesn't work with Ruby 2.0.
- 6.0+If both Zeus and Spork DRb servers are running simultaneously, it is Zeus that gets priority.

Updated: December 24, 2012 6:59AM
With "Bad25," an in-depth look at the creative process behind Michael Jackson's 1987 album, director Spike Lee re-introduces us to the staggeringly gifted young man the world knew before all the circuses and scandals.
"For too long, people focused on that other stuff," Lee says. "When you do that with an artist, you do it to the detriment of the art."
The documentary airs at 8:30 p.m. Thursday on WLS-Channel 7, and a longer version is expected on DVD early next year.
"Of all my documentaries, this one will be the most watched ever," Lee says. "Thanksgiving night in America? That's huge."
Though Lee worked with Jackson on short films for the single "They Don't Care About Us "in 1996, "we weren't close — I'm not going to front. He was going through some things then."
Lee spoke with musicians and filmmakers who collaborated with Jackson on "Bad," among them Martin Scorsese. There's also commentary from stars who were influenced by him, among them Mariah Carey and Kanye West.
"People at the top of their fields make it look so easy," Lee says. "You think Michael Jordan came out of the womb dunking, or Frank Sinatra was born with that voice. But these people bust their [butts]. Michael Jackson sang for his supper from the time he was 5."

Blood on Eric's blue cashmere V-neck J. Crew sweater (in which 70 percent of Popwatch readers said Eric is the hottest he's ever looked) — that is a shame. But the messier True Blood gets, the better. And this one made you want to shower afterward.
So when Sookie was brought into the King's mansion, Bill staked one of his minions. Cue both Sookie and Talbot screaming. Bill mounted Russell's shoulders, preparing to strike, but all Russell, who's nearly 3,000 years old, had to do was shrug basically, and Bill flew up into the ceiling and crashed back down. Bill begged Eric to get Sookie out of there, but Eric grabbed Sookie and told Russell, ''I wouldn't let go of this, if I were you. I don't know what it is. But I know it's quite valuable.'' For a moment, you might have through Talbot was enraptured in the drama, like Bridget Jones' gay friend Tom (''Fight! Come on then, it's a real fight!''). But he wasn't having any of it. ''Do you care nothing about our home?,'' he said. Having seen the bloodbath Sookie received when Bill staked the vampire Longshadow in Fangtasia that time, it could have been so much worse, Talbot.
Russell had Bill sent to the slave quarters and told Lorena to kill him. She reluctantly agreed to and Sookie told her if she succeeded, she'd kill her. ''Oh please, please try. Without that sanctimonious little prick Godric to save you, I would just love to rip you open and wear your ribcage as a hat,'' Lorena said. (If I were the show's creator, I would have insisted upon writing this episode, too, Alan Ball.)
The King had to go work things out with his husband... because Eric and Sookie needed a moment alone to establish that he could get her to shut up simply by putting his hand over her mouth (funny) and wouldn't be helping her out of this, at least not yet, because he needs to keep on Russell's good side until he can bring him down for leading the V-addicted wolf pack that killed Eric's family. What I loved most about that conversation is that Sookie never doubted for one second that she would survive this ordeal. She was going to live to kill Lorena, and, as she told Eric, ''I hate your f---ing guts, Eric Northman. I promise I will pay you back for this.'' Even though Eric had told her, ''You mean nothing to me, understand? Nothing,'' and not to get in his way when he was so close to getting what we know to be revenge on Russell, I still think he'll help Sookie in the end. I think that's why he wanted the King to see how valuable she was. Eric just needed to keep Sookie alive while he dealt with Russell, then he could save her. One thing I don't get though: We know Sookie was thinking back to their porch conversation since she impersonated Eric telling her he was risking everything to tell her about Operation Werwolf — why didn't she try to tell Eric that she'd seen Russell feeding the wolves his blood? It would have been the same outcome since Eric already knew about Russell, but Sookie didn't know that.

Book Review Policy
Authors & Publishers – If you would like to send me a book to review, please email me with a synopsis of the book. Please note that I only respond to pitches that I choose to accept.
My Preferred Genres: HR, recruiting, business, leadership, management, marketing, entrepreneurship, and others that an audience of business leaders would find valuable.
Although I own an eReader and a smartphone, I prefer to read nonfiction books in hard copy to make notes, highlight important sections, add sticky notes to remind me of ideas that I particularly enjoyed. In the end, that makes for more valuable reviews than if I'd skimmed it in a Kindle and slapped something together.
By accepting a review copy of a book, I can not guarantee that I'll finish it or that I'll review it; I can guarantee that I will try to do both. If I do finish the book, I'll review it honestly on this site.
I do my best to read and review books in a timely manner. However, due to time constraints and other fluid commitments, I can't always get a review done on a very short timeline. If that is an issue then you might not want to send me one. :-)
The majority of the books I review are given to me as advance review copies by publishers and authors. Others are purchased by me because I believe in the power of books to educate and enlighten. I don't give positive reviews in exchange for free books–I give positive reviews for books that challenge me to think or act.
Want to contact me about reviewing a book? Click here to email me and I will send you my mailing address. Thanks!

DR. GRACE DEVLIN (Jordana Spiro) is a top resident at Chicago's Roosevelt Medical Center. Smart and self-assured, she's heralded as one of the country's most promising young surgeons. But family ties keep her glued to her Southside roots. To pay off her brother's life-threatening gambling debt, she makes a deal with the devil and agrees to work "off book" for the mafia men she once despised. The only ones who know the true scope of Grace's activities are the men to whom Grace owes her debt, including the brutal Southside mob boss PAUL MORETTI (guest star Michael Rappaport) and the charming but diabolical CONSTANTINE ALEXANDER (William Forsythe), an oddly compassionate killer whose relationship with Grace is more than it seems. Recently released from prison, Constantine, the former head of the Southside mob, looks to reclaim his place in the organization, with the help of his right-hand associate - and Grace's ex-boyfriend - FRANCO (James Carpinello). watch
It's hard to keep track of a team as big and as busy as Firehouse 51. In between battling blazes and saving lives on Chicago Fire's freshman season, Matt Casey, Kelly Severide and the rest of the squad somehow found ample time to find, and lose, love more times than we can count.

The one thing a potential guilty pleasure can't afford to be guilty of is boredom. Just look at the current standard-bearer: ABC's outrageous Scandal, with its whiplash plotting and rat-a-tat-tat dialogue delivered at such hyperspeed you don't have time to dwell on the berserk absurdities, because you're having such a blast. NBC's tepid new mystery-soap hybrid Deception (10/9c) deceives itself if it thinks it belongs in that gonzo company. It even pales next to the diminished second season of Revenge, which needs to refocus on the Emily-vs.-Graysons dynamic and forget the Initiative — yawn — ever existed.
Question: Now that Happy Endings and Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 have been banished to Sundays nights to wither away, isn't this a lesson we all saw coming by piling on sitcoms against each other on Tuesdays? I can potentially see ABC saving Happy Endings to prolong its syndication opportunities, but both shows were buried without much support (premiering in late October) and ABC seems to have gone down the Cougar Town route again. Apart from protected golden child Modern Family and reliable The Middle, ABC has a poor record of keeping their sitcoms on the air over the last several years, and now we have two more to add to the long list here. It's only a matter of time before Suburgatory enjoys a similar fate. Throwing them opposite hot thing New Girl and a Matthew Perry vehicle Go On seemed foolish on ABC's part.

Comic sales were up again in May with a 12% over-all increase over May 2003. Comics were up more strongly than graphic novels, with a 12% increase vs. a 7% increase in graphic novel sales. Comic dollars were helped by strong sales at the top of the charts, with three titles over 175,000 copies sold. Image's Spawn Simony, at over 17,000 copies sold, was a strong contributor to the graphic novel dollars, as were Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 8 TPB and The Complete Peanuts Vol. 1 HC.
This is the third consecutive month of year over year increases, since we began calculating those comparisons based on Diamond's new system of reporting sales. It's also the third consecutive month in which periodical sales growth outpaced the growth in graphic novel sales.

(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
(Derby/Lynde) Request for a non-public session per RSA 91-A:3,II, c (matters which, if discussed publicly, would affect adversely the reputation of any person).
Mr. Farris-Yes; Mr. Lynde-Yes; Mr. McDevitt-Yes; Mr. Bergeron-Yes; Mr. Derby-Yes
The Selectmen met with the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer. The Board entered into a non-public session at approximately . Also present was Mr. Gaydos.
The Board returned to public session at approximately .
PUBLIC HEARING - continued for the conditional layout of an existing private right-of-way (
Mr. Gaydos informed that subsequent to the last hearing there were certain inconsistencies with the notification process, and a street (
Mr. McDevitt noted that the Budget Committee did not approve the warrant article, which he felt would lead to the voters not approving it as well. He said because there were a number of people who were strongly against the project, he would only support it if the residents got together and came back with a fair way to proceed. Mr. McDevitt said an alternative, which he favored, would be to consider forming a Village District (RSA 52:1) in the area. He said a Village District would give the residents of the area total control over the road. Mr. Gaydos further explained what authority a Village District held.
Mr. Farris pointed out that the residents were having trouble gathering the funds from the residents for plowing. Mr. McDevitt said within a Village District there were different rules if payment was not made. Mr. Farris said forming a Village District was an option that could be reviewed, but felt that the notification process to include
Mr. Derby felt it was late in the year to review the streets. He said the streets should be reviewed in the summer, which would provide additional time to assess pricing. Mr. Farris said that a broader base of residents may have input if the project was assessed in the summer, since some of the residents were seasonal. Mr. Gaydos discussed the need for the improvement process to be determined, before a public hearing was to be held.
Mr. Lance Ouellette,
There was a brief discussion regarding the method being taken for assessment.
Mr. Don Chelton,
Mr. Ouellette asked what the future of the roads would be if they were not accepted by the Town. Mr. Lynde felt the residents were better equipped to know what would happen to the roads over time. He understood that there was a problem obtaining the funds from the residents for basic maintenance. He said he couldn't speak specifically about the roads in the area, but believed that continued deterioration would probably occur, and at some point the residents would be faced with major expenses for repair. He discussed the alternatives that the residents had. Mr. Ouellette confirmed, per RSA, that at least one resident from each road would need to sign the petition for submission to the Town. Mr. McDevitt believed that a signature from at least one resident was needed for a road to be laid out. Mr. Ouellette said that he obtained a signature from the resident on
Mr. Farris suggested that Mr. Ouellette poll the residents to find out what they felt would be a fair process for assessing the properties. Mr. Ouellette asked if he should wait to hear back from Mr. Gaydos regarding the addition of
Mr. Farris noted that the deliberative session would be held
Mr. Chelton wanted to know what would happen if the money was expended and the Town decided to not accept the road. Mr. McDevitt said that there were one, or two exceptions that allowed the Selectmen to accept a road. He said one exception was the process of petition to lay out a road through the betterment assessment. He provided a copy of a memo from Town Council (dated
Mr. George LaBonte,
Review and vote on lease for library
Mr. Philip Currier, President of the Pelham Historical Society, discussed the proposed lease agreement for the library. He said that the agreement had been discussed in November with the following concerns being voiced by the Selectmen: 1) activities conducted will be open to the public, and 2) cost of utilities. Mr. Currier said that the activities would be open to the public. He said that the level of activity would be less than the current library and didn't feel that there would be a burden on the Town if the Town maintained the utilities, as previously discussed. He noted that the utilities would be revisited on, or about
Mr. Bergeron confirmed that the land was donated with the intention that a library building would be built. Mr. Currier answered yes. Mr. Bergeron asked if the Town accepted the land with the knowledge that they had to build a library. Mr. Currier answered yes.
Mr. Lynde asked if research was being done to designate the library building as a historical entity. Mr. Currier said that the Historical Society would look into having the property designated as a state historical site.
Mr. Farris confirmed that the Town would pay for the utilities, with the exception of the phone. Mr. Currier answered yes. Mr. Farris noted that the current heating system didn't work well and wanted to know if the Town would be responsible for its repair/replacement. Mr. Currier said, the Town still owned the building, so any major components would need to be taken care of by the Town.
Mr. Currier noted that a slight addition had been made to the Use paragraph. He said that 'maintenance of a history and genealogy library' had been included within the paragraph.
Mr. Gaydos recommended that if the Selectmen agreed upon the lease agreement that Mr. Currier should submit the final draft prior to the
Mr. Currier noted that there was contingency language incorporated within the agreement in the event the warrant article failed at Town Meeting.
Mr. McDevitt informed that his name appeared on the Historical Society's member roster and noted that he would have no benefit from the lease. The Selectmen did not object to Mr. McDevitt voting.
(Lynde/McDevitt) To approve the lease agreement for the library building

Attached hereto is a copy of the revised lease agreement for submission at the
Mr. Gaydos reviewed the change orders that had been approved. He went on to review the items and note which were credits, and which were additional costs. Mr. McDevitt appreciated the mention of the credits so that members of the public would be aware of the scope changes. He noted that the project was currently under budget.
Police Chief Haglund said there was a request to add a 220 volt line for the treadmills in the fitness room, which would cost $784. He said the line would allow for less draw on the electricity. Chief Haglund said that the prisoner process area in the cell complex had been redesigned to include a counter and cabinets so there would be no obstruction when viewing the holding cell. The revision change also included a small interview room with a total cost of $2475. Chief Haglund ended by requesting $1955 for a 10ftx10ft year-round dog kennel on a concrete pad for the K-9 unit.
(Lynde/McDevitt) To approve the change orders totaling $5214 for 1) addition of a 220 volt line; 2) redesign of prisoner process area and add a counter, cabinets and small interview room; 3) add a concrete pad and year-round dog kennel for the K-9 unit.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Chief Haglund handed out documentation that outlined communications equipment. He requested an archival digital call recorder, which would record all the phone lines and radio transmissions. He spoke with two distributors and recommended going with Cyber COM whose price was $18,270. He noted that Cyber COM was also handling the Motorola equipment. He ended by informing that the money would come from the communications budget in the amount of $282,000. He believed that they would still come in under budget.

Mr. Gaydos said that all reports for the Town Report would be due the first week of February. Mr. McDevitt wanted to ensure that all departments were aware that they needed to submit reports. Mr. Gaydos said that any departments that had a report last year had received a letter this year. Mr. Lynde asked that tax rate information be included. Mr. Gaydos said that all the documents from DRA regarding the rate setting would be included. Mr. McDevitt confirmed that the audit information be included.
Mr. McDevitt asked for the authorization to fill out and send in the application form to
(Lynde/McDevitt) To authorize Mr. McDevitt to fill out and send in the PLAN NH application.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Discussion on joint meeting with the Planning Board
Mr. McDevitt felt the joint meeting with the Planning Board and Selectmen was timely. He felt there was a pressing need for the Selectmen to work with the Planning Board regarding the organization of the Planning Department. He recalled there was a discussion regarding the Planning Board seeking legal advice. He believed that the Planning Board could get legal advice from anyone, as long as it was specific to an application and charged to and paid by the applicant. He said there was no budget for general legal advice, except through the Selectmen's budget. Mr. McDevitt believed there was general agreement that more help was needed within the planning office. The last issue discussed was the Planning Board's participation with the RFP for hiring an engineering firm, with a consensus that the hiring of the firm would be coordinated with the Town Administrator and the Planning Director. Mr. Gaydos said that he spoke with the Planning Board Chairman, Mr. Victor Danevich and agreed with the suggestion to hire several companies, rather than one.
Mr. McDevitt said that the Planning Board was willing to have Mr. John Bobula meet with them regarding the office structure report he composed. Mr. Farris said that Mr. Bobula would attend a meeting to discuss the structure within the Planning Department, as soon as an appointment could be set. Mr. Lynde wanted to ensure that the Planning Board members received a draft copy of Mr. Bobula's report.
Mr. Gaydos said that Mr. Bobula had set certain objectives for completion before the move into the new building. He wanted to check the objectives to ensure they were on target since certain things had been added to the objectives. He suggested performing an assessment of the Planning Department to ensure that the new systems were in place before the move to the new building. Mr. Farris said that an organizational chart would be helpful so that everyone was aware of the objectives.
Mr. McDevitt suggested the formation of a separate committee which included two Selectmen and a couple members of the Planning Board. He said the committee could meet and report back to their respective boards to provide recommendations. Mr. Lynde felt the report should be reviewed and comments discussed before meeting with Mr. Bobula. Mr. Farris said the Planning Board members should be given a copy of the report and informed when Mr. Bobula would attend a meeting so they could discuss any issues. There was a brief discussion as to what date Mr. Bobula would meet with the Selectmen and what would be discussed. It was suggested to solicit the Planning Board's initial comments and forward them to Mr. Bobula before the first meeting. Mr. Farris noted that Mr. Gaydos would ask Mr. Bobula to attend the Selectmen's meeting on
Renaming Streets
Mr. Gaydos said that comment had been received. The Safety Committee met and Fire Chief Fisher made a presentation to the group of all the various correspondence. He said a sub-committee would make the final recommendations. He noted that Chief Fisher would attend the Selectmen's
Mr. Gaydos said a request had been received for an elderly exemption, in which a DD214 (honorable discharge) was required. He noted that records were difficult to obtain and wanted to know if documentation from the Department of Veterans Affairs, which contained all the pertinent information would be acceptable. The Selectmen discussed the situation and made the following motion:
(McDevitt/Bergeron) To accept a letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs as documentation for granting a Veterans Exemption in instances when a DD214 is not available for applicants whose date of service was prior to 1950.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Mr. Gaydos asked what his limits were for when minor work needed to be performed (i.e. fixing the roof at the Fire Station). The Selectmen believed that there was a policy in place and asked that Mr. Gaydos review the language.
Mr. Derby had no report.
Mr. McDevitt informed that the Municipal Building Committee would meet Wednesday at . He then noted that the Recreation Advisory Committee met and discussed a trails committee forming and certain issues at Raymond Park.
Mr. Bergeron had no report.
Mr. Lynde had no report.
Mr. Farris reminded residents that a fundraiser would be held at the Fish and Game Club
(Bergeron/McDevitt) Request for a non-public session per RSA 91-A:3,II, a & c (personnel; matters which, if discussed publicly, would affect adversely the reputation of any person).
Mr. Farris-Yes; Mr. Lynde-Yes; Mr. McDevitt-Yes; Mr. Bergeron-Yes; Mr. Derby-Yes
Mr. Farris noted that when the Board returned, after the non-public session, the Board would not take any other action publicly, except to seal the minutes of the non-public session and to adjourn the meeting. The Board entered into a non-public session at approximately . Also present was Mr. Gaydos.
The Board returned to public session at approximately pm.
