Parents accuse PTA school of racial segregation
A petition signed by parents asks why young children are being assigned to classes based on race.
JOHANNESBURG - Eyewitness News has learned that a group of almost 30 parents at a Pretoria private school have signed a petition about young children being assigned to classes based on race.
The parents are demanding an explanation from the Curro Foundation School in Roodeplaat and say it must act in accordance with the country's Constitution.
But the school has denied any racial segregation and says it has worked out a formula to make sure that children, starting from grade R, don't feel isolated and can make friends who share their culture.
In a petition to the principal, the parents demand to know why some classes are made up exclusively of black children, while white pupils are kept together.
They say separating children at such a young age perpetuates racial and cultural segregation and stunts the nation's transformation.
But Curro Holdings's André Pollard says that in some grades they have a very small number of white pupils who they try and keep together in one group.
He says once they have 12 or more children, they divide them equally into classes.
"It's not because we would like to segregate the whites, it's just because of friends. Children are able to make friends with children of their culture."
A meeting to address this issue is due to take place at the school this evening.

White smoke day at UW-Madison; new chancellor to be chosen today
It's white smoke day at Van Hise Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, as a committee charged with selecting a new chancellor for the state's flagship is cloistered with four finalists interviewing for the job.
After conducting interviews all day, the selection committee of five members of the UW System Board of Regents and UW System President Kevin Reilly will meet behind closed doors to reach a concensus pick. A public announcement of that pick is expected early next week, once the job has been offered and accepted, though the choice still must be formally approved by the full board of regents at their next regular meeting April 4 and 5.
Will it be Michael Schill, dean and law professor at the University of Chicago Law School? He's the top pick of UW-Madison associate professor of educational policy studies and blogger Sara Goldrick-Rab. Goldrick-Rab, also a faculty senator, assessed each of the four candidates for chancellor on her blog.
What about Nicholas Jones, the engineering dean from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, whose academic background and love for running remind some observers of UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Michael Lovell?
Or will it be acting U.S. Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank, a two-time finalist for the UW-Madison chancellor's job? The last time she was a finalist, in 2008, Carolyn "Biddy" Martin got the job. Martin resigned in 2011 to become president of Amherst College in Massachusetts, and was replaced by Interim Chancellor David Ward. Some observers have remarked that Blank bears a striking physical resemblance to both Martin and former UW-Madison Chancellor Donna Shalala, who went on to a federal cabinet post.
Rounding out the finalist field is Kim Wilcox, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Michigan State University until a couple of months ago. He is now working with the Partnership to Cut Hunger and Poverty in Africa, a nonprofit organization with strong ties to MSU that was started in 2001 to promote sustainability.
All four finalists have been on campus this week, meeting with faculty, students, alumni and others interested in the search. The salary range for the chancellor's job is $426,500 to $522,500; details of the contract won't be finalized until the full board of regents meet in April.
This has been a big week for the UW System and its leadership.
Wednesday, the regents committee and Reilly interviewed five finalists for the UW-Eau Claire chancellor's post. Those candidates spent time on the Eau Claire campus, meeting students, faculty, alumni and others, during individual visits.
A public announcement is expected Monday on the new UW-Eau Claire chancellor pick, who also must be formally approved by the full board of regents in April.
The candidates for the Eau-Claire chancellorship include: Pam Benoit, executive vice president and provost at Ohio University; Kathryn Cruz-Uribe, provost and vice president for academic affairs at California State University, Monterey Bay; Anne E. Huot, provost and vice president for academic affairs at the College at Brockport, State University of New York; Kent Neely, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Western Oregon University; and James C. Schmidt, vice president for university advancement and executive director of the WSU Foundation Board of Trustees at Winona State University.
The new chancellor will succeed former UW-Eau Claire Chancellor Brian Levin-Stankevich, who stepped down last spring to accept a job as president of Westminster College in Salt Lake City.UW-Madison's Gilles Bousquet has served as UW-Eau Claire's interim chancellor since July.
"Every week's a big week at UW System," UW System spokesman David Giroux said Friday morning. "But we've got two searches converging. It's always exciting to see new leadership."
- Herb Kohl gifts $1.5 million to support public policy and governance research at UW-Madison

Christmas Eve is approaching, so I want to take a minute and share a tradition my family and I have kept as long as I can remember. On the 24th of December we would always have Christmas comics available for reading while waiting for the presents. I'm actually not sure if it's solely a Norwegian tradition (perhaps it's Scandinavian?), but in December every year there'll be a wide range of different Christmas comics available. Most of them are made by Norwegian artists, but there are also a few made by Disney, among them are classical stories by Carl Barks.
The drawing style in the three comics pictured above is kind of old-fashioned and may not be a favorite of the younger kids. Nonetheless, reading these kind of seasonal comics are one of the best ways for me to get into the Christmas spirit. A delicious once-a-year dinner, good old Christmas movies on TV, snow, Christmas songs, being with family and reading these special comics…. This is Christmas to me.

Tax Reform
Key Points
- A vibrant, growing economy allows businesses and households to flourish.
- A state's economic vitality starts with a principled tax code that is fair, transparent and competitive relative to other states.
- Over the past decade, the nine states without a personal income tax have consistently outperformed the nine states with the highest taxes on personal income – in job creation, population growth and even tax revenues.
- With the right set of policies in place, lower-tax states can attract much-needed human and financial capital from higher-tax states that penalize wealth creation.
Mainstream economists, small business owners and taxpayers across the country understand that growth-oriented reforms mean increased opportunity for all. As demonstrated by the annual Rich States, Poor States: ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index, sound tax and fiscal policies are critical to economic health, allowing businesses and households to flourish.
A dynamic state economy starts with a principled tax code. As noted in the ALEC Principles of Taxation, state tax codes should be fair, transparent and economically neutral. Low, competitive tax rates on a broad tax base offer a level playing field to all. In this environment, more residents will benefit from greater economic growth.
The advantages of a low-tax environment are clear. Over the past decade, the nine states without a personal income tax have consistently outperformed the nine states with the highest taxes on personal income. Similarly, those states with no income tax saw their population rise 109 percent faster than their high-tax counterparts. In those same ten years, job growth in states with no income tax increased 130 percent faster versus the states with the highest income taxes. Even state and local tax revenues in the nine states without income taxes grew 51 percent faster. While other factors have surely played a role, these general trends held true decade after decade for the past half-century.
As the research overwhelmingly shows, competitive tax and fiscal policies are vital to a state's future. With the right set of policies in place, lower-tax states can attract much-needed human and financial capital from higher-tax states that penalize wealth creation.

Any you chicks see the news this evening on TV?It looked like no one was buying very much at the Target Store today.They were only selling a few items with 30% off ,not all instore supplies.Mostly everything was only 10% off.I wouldn't even think of going there today or tomorrow.I'm thinking they are going to hold out on big sales until the last week,just what Zellers done.I would guess there was a lot of disappointed people there today.There was a long,long lineup early this morning before it opened.Anyone thinking about going there?

Windy Potatoes gazed up at the God of the Forest, who loomed back at him disconcertingly. The God was tall, towering 51 metres upwards. The God was wide, at almost 14 metres in girth. The God was also very, very ancient – perhaps as much as 2,000 years old – yet, thankfully, the God was still in excellent health.
Windy Potatoes was reasonably tall himself, and (I'm sure he won't mind me saying this) had a substantial girth of his own. But as far as age and overall mass was concerned, he was operating on a very human scale, whereas the God of the Forest was subject to far grander natural rhythms. On the other hand, at that particular moment Windy Potatoes and the God of the Forest were probably thinking much the same thing. And I, feeling the first heavy droplets on my face, couldn't help but agree with them.
"Mate," said Windy Potatoes. "We're about to get very wet."
Windy Potatoes is not his real name. Tawhiri Riwai is a Maori guide whom I'd met in Waipoua Forest, which lies in New Zealand's Northland region – the furthest tip of the North Island. Having translated his name into English for me with a rueful shrug, he then described the significance of the God, who also goes by another name in Maori: that of Tane Mahuta. (The son of Rangi-Nui and Papa-tu-a-Nuku, the sky father and earth mother, Tane Mahuta apparently prised his parents apart to bring light and order to the world.) Then, after a solemn karakia, or prayer, Riwai took me off to see the God of the Forest for myself – at which point the skies opened up and we all got utterly drenched.
A decent slosh of rain has done wonders for the local plants. Tane Mahuta is in fact the largest remaining example of New Zealand's ancient kauri trees, and it, or rather he, rises near the centre of Waipoua, a sub-tropical rainforest. Slow-growing, reaching immense heights and ages, these giants were once found throughout the northern part of the country. However, their strong, flexible timber meant that they were particularly prized by European settlers, who swiftly set about chopping down as many as possible and turning them into boats, houses and furniture.
Quietly getting on with the business of growing steadily upwards for a couple of millennia and then being unexpectedly transformed into a bedside table doesn't seem like a very dignified life-cycle for these behemoths. The Kauri Museum at Matakohe, just to the south, explains things from a human perspective: the harshness of life for people here 150 years ago, and the range of products created from the wood and gum. Finally, of course, there was the dawning realisation that chopping down plants that take three or four centuries to reach maturity was never going to be a sustainable endeavour. As Louise Nowell from the museum explained: "These trees are entire ecosystems. They're like cities up there. The number of birds and plants living on them is phenomenal." A replica sawmill inside the building helps tell the kauri story, alongside an exhibition of kauri gum.
When the trees had been cleared, the settlers set about farming instead. Waipoua Forest remained, largely because of the impracticalities of removing wood from the local terrain. An 18-mile stretch of road twists and wiggles through what is now a national park, passing between the huge pale-barked kauri, which loom over mamaku ferns and low-lying scrub. From a vantage point above the treetops, the greenery seems to stretch forever, undulating towards the horizon. But Waipoua Forest is a kind of island now, marooned in a modern landscape of sheep farms, pretty roads and tidy homesteads.

New Zealand's island ecology – from the kauri trees to the kiwi, the country's emblematic bird – is unique. Twenty years ago, Douglas Adams – the man behind the comedy science-fiction epic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – arrived with naturalist Mark Carwardine. The writer was intrigued by the peculiarities of the birdlife. With no cats, dogs, ferrets, or other mammalian land predators, there was little for the birds to fear, so many lost the use of their wings.
"There is," wrote Adams in his book, Last Chance to See, "a trade-off between flying and eating. The more you eat the harder it is to fly. So increasingly what happened was that instead of having just a light snack and then flying off, the birds would settle in for a rather larger meal and go for a waddle afterwards instead."
Adams and Carwardine were searching for some of the world's most endangered species. Among them was the kakapo, which according to Carwardine, is "the world's largest, fattest and least-able-to-fly parrot" and was once widespread throughout New Zealand. Now critically endangered by the arrival of dogs, ferrets and weasels, the species is confined to a pair of New Zealand's offshore islands that have been cleared of predators.
Douglas Adams suffered a fatal heart attack in 2001, aged just 49. But his affection and concern for New Zealand's strange wildlife is celebrated in the Last Chance to See television series currently being broadcast on BBC2, in which Carwardine and Stephen Fry take up the kakapo's tale. But you don't have to be a polymathic national treasure or a naturalist to appreciate New Zealand's flora and fauna. You do, however, have to be patient.
My first attempt at kiwi spotting was, frankly, a wash out. I'd hoped to see them in the Trounson Kauri Park, a protected area just to the south of Waipoua. But kiwi are elusive, nocturnal, and they don't like getting wet. I took shelter instead at Waipoua Lodge, a beautiful wooden farmstead on the edge of the forest, which boasts four vast suites carved from old farm buildings. Surrounded by such colonial luxury it was hard to think that trudging through the woods as the rain lashed down outside would be a good idea. The kiwi probably thought the same.
I tried again in Wellington, New Zealand's gracious capital city. Here "Zealandia – The Karori Sanctuary Experience" is an ingenious attempt to recreate the wildlife of New Zealand "the day before humans arrived". A 550-acre section of valley enclosing the city's old reservoir has been fenced off and cleared of all predators, and around 30 native bird species have beenV C introduced to the area, including the little spotted kiwi, a variety previously extinct on the mainland.
It's almost entirely un-zoo-like, in that there are no guarantees that you will see anything at all. Nevertheless, I was optimistic as I arrived for my nocturnal encounter. My guide Matt Robertson pointed out a twinkling wall of glow worms, a tuatara (a native reptile that gives every appearance of being a lizard, but apparently is not one) and a species of insect called the cave weta. It felt eerily primeval as we shone our torches into the gloom, and although we didn't see any kiwi, we did hear one calling. It was a sound that, as Robertson said, "has not been heard in these parts for over a hundred years".

I gave up on kiwi at that point: there was, after all, plenty more birdlife to look out for, much of it available during daylight hours. Somes Island, known as Matiu in Maori, lies a short boat ride from Wellington harbour. Once used as a quarantine for human immigrants, then for cattle, it is now an easily accessible nature reserve. Upon arrival I met warden Matt Sidaway and Reg Cotter, a local guide whose enthusiasm for the local wildlife extends to creating nesting boxes for the world's smallest penguin, the little blue.
First I was asked to check my pack for rogue mice. ("It's like customs for us," said Sidaway. "Without biosecurity the risks would be too high.") Then I was swiftly introduced to the endangered red-crowned parakeet as it flitted past, to the giant weta (a bigger, badder version of the cave weta) and, more appealingly, to a little blue penguin, its skin iridescent, its manner grumpy. From the summit of the island, the view back into Wellington – ringed by rippling peaks – was spectacular.
Later, back in the city, I visited the extraordinary Te Papa ("Our Place") museum, a vast modern building – all wonky corners and diagonals – which sits at the Wellington harbourside. Inside is a bold attempt to sum up the history of New Zealand – its geology, its wildlife and the interplay of Maori and European cultures – via a series of intriguing interactive displays. The sheer pride that New Zealand takes in itself bulges out from the place, as well as a breathless feeling that anything the locals come up against will eventually be sorted by good old kiwi know-how.
It's that sort of grit that keeps the kakapo, or "night parrot", from tottering into extinction. When Adams and Carwardine first visited New Zealand there were around 40 left. Largely thanks to the efforts of the Department of Conservation – often referred to as "Doc" by New Zealanders – there are now 125 of them, with the majority on Codfish Island, near Stewart Island, at the southern limit of New Zealand. Although Fry and Carwardine were granted access to film their programme, tourists aren't allowed to visit Codfish Island, which means kakapo sightings are hard to come by. Happily a bird called Sirocco is occasionally brought slightly nearer to human habitation for kakapo-consciousness-raising purposes. And last Saturday he welcomed his first guests of the season to Ulva Island.
From Invercargill, New Zealand's southernmost city, I reached Stewart Island via what was – for me – a nail-biting flight jammed into a 10-seater light aircraft. The local passengers seemed to think nothing of the buffeted plane, the churning seas or the grey clouds scudding over the Foveaux Strait, but I was extremely thankful to see the air-strip splashed over the top of a welcoming hill. Below lay the small town of Oban, home to most of Stewart Island's 380 inhabitants.
Stewart Island, or Rakiura in Maori, is New Zealand's third-largest island, yet it is still tiny: a chunk of lush greenery set to the south of the South Island. It was once used as a base for logging and sealing, and is now almost entirely given over to luxuriant national park.
In a community this size, people tend to double up: Ian and Philippa Wilson run Port of Call, a smart B&B with views out over the bay; and Ian ferries tourists over to Ulva Island, the sanctuary that lies at the heart of the nearby Paterson inlet. "It's certainly a lot easier living here now," said Wilson as he showed me round. "But it's still a place where time stands still."
On tiny Ulva Island time has been reversed. Here, among the local birds are others that have died out on the mainland and been reintroduced. On an hour's walk round its well-marked paths, I saw the predatory, flightless weka stalking the shore, and glimpsed the deep red plummage of the kaka, New Zealand's forest parrot. The rare Stewart Island robin hopped up dutifully and posed for pictures – and there might be only 700 of the red-flashed South Island saddleback still in existence, but several of them were flitting around at the shore. At Boulder Beach, the dense bush gave way to a rugged stretch of sand; the view back down the inlet revealed pristine swathes of dark green.
And then as night fell I finally met Sirocco the kakapo. When I first read about these birds 20 years ago, it didn't seem at all likely that they'd still be around in 2009. About two-feet long, nocturnal, with a bizarre mating pattern to do with the flowering of the local rimu tree, kakapo also have a habit of standing still rather than running away from predators. In short, they seem just a little too weird to thrive. But they have – if not thrived – at least clung on. Twelve-year-old Sirocco was hand-reared and therefore tolerant of humans. On Ulva, he lives in two pens – one large enough for him to forage in, and another, ringed in perspex, where visitors can see him.
We stood quietly in the gathering gloom. Then, with surprising speed, there he was, climbing up a log and looking solemnly out through the clear plastic. Jo Ledington from the Kakapo Recovery Programme later explained that he was an "advocate" bird: by showing him off in public, the programme hoped to raise public awareness.
He raised my awareness by eating grapes from her hand and looking out at me – as huge and parroty as I'd imagined, with a bit of owl thrown in. The creamy whiskers below his chin contrasted nicely, I thought, with the green and brown of his plumage. We examined each other for half an hour or so – me with a sense of wonder and delight, Sirocco with a sort of alert indifference. Then it was time for him to get on with his day, and for me to go to Oban's lively South Sea Hotel for a few celebratory glasses of Speight's Gold Medal Ale.
Home for the kakapo was once New Zealand's Fiordland, a region where immense folds of glacier-scarred granite rise from the ground like mouthfuls of teeth. From Stewart Island, I flew in another tiny plane to the majestic World Heritage Site of Milford Sound, an utterly beautiful 15km-long fiord on the coast. On a cruise along its length I saw fur seals and tiny penguins frolic as the sun finally hit its stride and lit the scene in glitter. It's the sort of scenery where, Douglas Adams wrote, "One's first impulse, standing on a cliff top surveying it all, is simply to burst into spontaneous applause."
Sirocco's enclosure might be a little less dramatic than his native Fiordland, but the fact that he's around at all is pretty impressive in itself. One of Adams's odder science-fiction inventions was a psychological torture device called the Total Perspective Vortex. According to Adams, "When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, 'You are here.'" Spare a thought, then, for Sirocco, as he potters around his pen on tiny Ulva Island, off Stewart Island, near the South Island of New Zealand, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. He seems to be bearing up remarkably well, given the circumstances.

Peaks and beaks: Mark Carwardine
I first visited the land of the kiwi in 1989 with the late Douglas Adams, as part of a round-the-world tour in search of endangered species. We went to look for the kakapo – a large nocturnal parrot that smells like a musty clarinet case and has a song like an unreleased collection of Pink Floyd studio outtakes.
The kakapo is exactly the kind of bird that makes it worth flying to the other side of the world to see. In fact, I've just been back to see it all over again – this time with Stephen Fry for the BBC series Last Chance to See – to retrace the steps Douglas and I took exactly 20 years before.
We spent several weeks filming in New Zealand but three days, in particular, stand out in my mind. The first was a stop to see a distant relative of the kakapo, a notorious mountain-dwelling parrot called the kea. Keas tend to loiter around public places, partly because these offer an easy source of junk food and partly because that's where they can get up to most mischief.
We went to see them at a car park by the entrance to the Homer Tunnel near Queenstown. One of the birds stole a man's baseball cap and was chased across the car park by its rightful owner. We laughed uncontrollably as the other birds just turned away, looking about as innocent as juvenile delinquents caught smoking behind the bike shed.
I also enjoyed a visit to the Chatham Islands, a tiny archipelago slap-bang on the international dateline some 500 miles east of mainland New Zealand, where we went to see a rather unremarkable little bird called the Chatham Island black robin.
The black robin came closer to extinction (without actually vanishing altogether) than any other animal on the planet. At one point, in 1980, there was just a single breeding pair left. But thanks to a dramatic rescue operation there are now 250... and counting. For me, as a naturalist, I was more excited about meeting this famous little bird than I would have been about meeting a Hollywood star. Sad, I know.
The third and most memorable highlight was a day spent exploring Fiordland, a breathtaking tract of mountainous terrain in the south-west corner of South Island. We did it from one of those little helicopters with a bubble cockpit. We circled rugged peaks reaching high into fluffy white clouds, swooped along green valleys, hovered in front of thunderous waterfalls, and marvelled at the sheer splendour of it all.
Stephen and I were still engrossed in the surreal world around us when our pilot plugged his iPod into a socket on the helicopter's control panel and, rather appropriately, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon erupted into our headsets. Suddenly, we were in an imaginary spacecraft, wheeling and turning over a fantasy make-believe world. That was a highlight neither of us will ever forget.
The New Zealand episode of Last Chance to See is on BBC2 tomorrow at 8pm.

The study was undertaken in patients with newly diagnosed bacteriologically positive pulmonary tuberculosis. The patients were randomly allocated to receive one of two regimens. In one of the regimens, patients received 2 months of daily treatment with streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide (SHRZ) followed by isoniazid plus rifampin for 4 months (4 HR). In the other regimen, patients received 2 months of daily streptomycin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ciprofloxacin (SHZ Cipro) followed by isoniazid plus ciprofloxacin for 4 months. All patients in the SHRZ/HR regimens and all but one in the SHZ Cipro/H Cipro regimens had a favorable bacteriologic response during chemotherapy. In the patients in the SHZ Cipro/H Cipro regimen, ciprofloxacin was well tolerated during the period of treatment. After chemotherapy, one (5.9 percent) of 17 patients in the SHRZ/HR group and three (16.6 percent) of 18 patients in the SHZ Cipro/H Cipro group relapsed bacteriologically.

Ganassi's NASCAR program improves
Sat., June 23, 2012, midnight
It's been a continuous search for consistency at Chip Ganassi Racing, where the NASCAR program has never matched the performance levels of its dominant IndyCar entries.
But there's no bitterness from Juan Pablo Montoya or Jamie McMurray, who have watched from afar as IndyCar counterparts Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon race for wins and championships every year.
Welcome to the up-and-down battles that Montoya and McMurray have faced the last several years in Ganassi's NASCAR program. The two head into Sunday's race at Sonoma, Calif., at just about the halfway mark of another rebuilding year for the organization.
McMurray is 18th in the Sprint Cup Series, Montoya is 19th and combined they have only five top-10 finishes all season. But they say their cars are better, they've had increased speed of late and they are pleased with the direction of the race team.
Ganassi and co-owner Felix Sabates may have had the most aggressive offseason in NASCAR as sweeping changes were made to the organization. Competition director Steve Hmiel and longtime team manager Tony Glover were replaced, and Brian Pattie left the organization at the end of the season after being removed as Montoya's crew chief in late July.
Ganassi brought in Max Jones as general manager, John Probst as technical director and lured Chris Heroy away from Hendrick Motorsports to crew chief Montoya. There has been added personnel, improved engineering and a cohesiveness that was absent last season, when both drivers went winless and failed to contend for spots in the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.
It was a dramatic drop-off from 2010, when McMurray won three races – including the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 – and the drivers were far more competitive.
McMurray said there have been times this season when either he or Montoya has one of the fastest cars on the track, but the team is still working on getting both cars clicking at the same time and putting together complete races.
Still, both think they'll be competitive Sunday at the road course in scenic Sonoma.
Sprint Cup
Marcos Ambrose won the top starting spot for Sunday's race at Sonoma with a fast lap around the 1.99-mile road course on Friday. He knocked off Jimmie Johnson, then waited to see if Jeff Gordon could beat him. Gordon wound up second and Johnson third.
Dario Franchitti won the third of the first three qualifying heat races in the history of the current IndyCar series to take the pole for the Iowa Corn Indy 250 in Newton, Iowa.
Franchitti, the Indianapolis 500 winner, has two victories in four starts on Iowa's short oval.
After a frightening crash at Talladega, Eric McClure had to sit out six weeks while dealing with the lingering effects of a concussion.
Now he has clearance from NASCAR officials and is back in his No. 14 car, practicing for today's Nationwide Series race at Road America.
McClure said the concussion he sustained in the May 5 race at Talladega was the third of his career, one of the main reasons his doctors and NASCAR officials made him sit out for an extended period of time.

Burlington, Vermont - June 25, 2011
New Hampshire police say they have arrested 24-year-old Robert Lacombe Jr. in Randolph, Massachusetts. Police were searching for Lacombe Saturday in connection with a double homicide in Grafton, New Hampshire.
Lacombe is being charged with two counts of second degree murder for the deaths of 24-year-old William Hatch and 23-year-old Crystal Farnham.
The two were found dead Saturday morning from apparent gun shot wounds. Lacombe is being held in Massachusetts pending his return to New Hampshire.
