Late run not enough for Leavenworth; Lions roll for sixth straight win; P-Ridge struggles scoring; Imac loses to Maur Hill
When they finally turned it on Friday, Leavenworth boys' basketball team looked nearly unstoppable.
The problem: They couldn't get it going until the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter. Another problem: They were down by thirteen.
Still, the improbable almost seemed probable as the Pioneer defense forced turnover after turnover and got easy lay-up after easy lay-up. By the time Trey Adkins hit a guarded 3-pointer with 30 seconds left, Leavenworth had gone on a 22-11 run to cut the score to 66-68.
But the Pioneers had to foul, North hit both free throws, Adkins missed on a drive, and that was it.
The 72-66 Olathe North win handed Leavenworth its fifth straight loss.
"As you saw by that run, we know how to get it going," Leavenworth coach Larry Hogan said. "But we always have spans where we don't guard and don't rebound, and it gets us behind. [Offensively] we have three or four guys who can create their own shot, but we can't get them on the floor at the same time," Hogan said.
Friday, the third quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter were the main problem spots. North vaulted out from a 31-31 tie at half to get the 13-point lead that ended up being just enough.
"Obviously our guys are a little frustrated right now, but they played hard tonight," Hogan said. "We have a month to get better [before the playoffs]."
On Friday, Shane Chikerema led the way with 20 points. Cameron Wiggins had 19. Jason Randall had 10 and Trey Adkins put in seven.
The five-game losing streak has crept up after a three-game winning streak that included a statement win against highly-ranked Olathe South. But during the current streak, three of the five losses have been by ten points or more.
Leavenworth, 6-8, goes to Lawrence to play Free State Tuesday.
Lions extend streak to 6
Joe Schneider really showed just how good he could be Tuesday night.
In the Lansing boys' basketball team's victory over Turner, Schneider racked up a team-high 25 points in a 74-48 win.
"I knew Joe was on," Lions coach Rod Briggs. "He has been shooting well in practice and when you shoot well in practice it kind of starts translating to a game. Ever since the tournament, I think he has refocused himself in the correct ways and kind of playing the way I expect him to play."
The Lions star missed only two shots from the field all night in what was his best performance of the season.
With Schneider's hot hand, the Lions got off to a 22-12 advantage in the first quarter.
Lansing had a huge 18-4 surge in the second, which gave them a commanding 40-20 lead at half.
The Lions continued to beat up on Turner throughout the second half as 10 players scored in the game.
"I thought we played pretty well overall today we're trying to maintain focus for four quarters and other than that little period I the fourth we did a pretty good job of that," Briggs said.
Roy Clayter had 10 points for the Lions as the team moved to 13-1 on the season.
The Lions will host Bonner Springs Tuesday at 7:15 p.m.

JCN rushes past Ridge
Baskets did not come easy for the Rams basketball team Friday.
The squad made just eight field goals on the evening, while visiting Jefferson County North threw in 22. That disparity led directly to a 68-39 Pleasant Ridge loss.
After one quarter of play, JCN was up 21-9 and then increased its lead to 35-16 by halftime. A 19-10 third quarter, in favor of North, pushed the game out of reach.
Sean Spurlock led the Rams in scoring with nine points while Jagar Haack and Adam Patterson both contributed six points a piece.
"Sean Spurlock, Adam Patterson, Brian Brunner and Tristan DeMaranville really battled against a much bigger and physical team," Ridge coach Sean Murphy said. "We never backed down, so I was happy about that."
The defeat dropped PR, who will travel to Horton Tuesday for a 7 p.m. contest, to 1-12 on the year.
Imac can't capitalize on strong defense
On one end of the floor, the Immaculata boys' basketball team played well enough to win Friday.
But it was the other end that betrayed the team.
"We played a lot better defense than last time out against these guys," Raiders coach Mike Connelly said. "I thought we gave a winning effort also, but if you don't hit shots you are not going to win."
While Imac held host Maur Hill to 39 points, the Raiders struggled offensively. That let down led to a 39-28 loss.
"We started off nice on an 8-0 run, but that didn't last," Connelly said. "We then came out of half and just couldn't hit anything. We really couldn't hit any shots all night. That is what did us in."
Immaculata trailed 17-14 heading into the second half, where its offense sputtered and collapsed. The squad posted just two third-quarter points and Maur Hill threw up 11 — that was the difference in the ball game.
Connor Schmidling led the Raiders with 10 points while Josh Boeppler hit six, Sean Murray had five and Drew Sachen four. Danny Boisson added three.
Immaculata, 5-9, will host Troy at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Hooksett, Manchester see progress in school talksBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
Union Leader Correspondent
July 25. 2013 10:54PM
School district officials in Manchester and Hooksett are hopeful that they will be able to resolve their long-running dispute ahead of a court hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
The hearing at Hillsborough County North Superior Court was originally slated for Monday, but following a productive 10-hour mediation session Wednesday, officials requested that it be postponed so they could communicate with other school boards members.
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, who chairs the city's school board, said he strongly preferred to resolve the matter outside of court. "I hope we can come to a resolution that will allow us to continue the relationship we've had for over 120 years," he said.
The district has scheduled a special meeting of the Board of School Committee on Tuesday, July 30, the day before the court hearing. The meeting, a portion of which will be held in non-public session, is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
Manchester filed a lawsuit against Hooksett earlier this year, seeking an injunction against the district to prevent it from continuing to allow its high school students to leave the Manchester district. The city's lawyers contend that the policy violates the tuition contract the district has with Hooksett and Candia, whereby the communities are supposed to send "all" of their students to Manchester, with waivers granted only in exceptional circumstances.
Prior to Manchester seeking the injunction, the Hooksett School Board initiated the process of declaring the city in breach of the contract, primarily for allowing numerous classes to exceed the state guideline of 30 students per teacher.
Hooksett School Board Chair Trisha Korkosz said that after two court-ordered mediation sessions, the two sides might be able to agree to a deal that avoids the matter being settled in court.
"I am happy with (how the two mediation) sessions went, I am cautiously optimistic that this will give us the time needed to work out a deal," Korkosz said.
However, she added that no new mediation sessions have been scheduled.
Korkosz has previously said that she does not understand the basis of Manchester's injunction claim against Hooksett, as the contract allows the board to authorize students to leave the district on a case-by-case basis, which she said the board has been doing.
The hearing on the injunction claim is now set for Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. at Hillsborough Superior Court. firstname.lastname@example.com

CEO salaries are higher than ever. But finding the right person to fill that job is harder than ever, especially when a board must replace a visionary founder.
The market for top-flight talent is now so tight that nearly 100 directors of Fortune 250 companies estimate that fewer than four people — including those both inside and outside their company — would be capable of stepping into the CEO role today and running it at least as well as their current CEO, according to a survey by researchers at Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University.
"I have never seen the CEO labor market tighter. With traditional industries such as retail, restaurant, and packaged goods under such pressure to transform, the pool of available candidates is small. There is no such thing as 'stepping' into a CEO role," one of the directors told the researchers.
"These findings have profound implications for talent development and CEO compensation," says David Larcker , the James Irvin Miller Professor of Accounting at Stanford Graduate School of Business, who led the research. "How you groom senior executives, how you plan for a CEO transition, and how you structure CEO pay really hinge on just how available replacement talent is."
The survey, conducted this summer, queried 113 directors and 18 executive recruiters and compensation experts.
The shallow pool of top-flight talent was evidenced by the difficulty major companies, including Symantec, General Electric, Walt Disney, and Uber, have had replacing their chief executives, says
Zales Triton Mens 80mm Comfort Fit Tungsten and Carbon Fiber Inlay Wedding Band fApkl7
, a lecturer in corporate governance at the business school. Walt Disney, for example, recently extended the contract of CEO Robert Iger for another year as it struggles to fill the top job. Symantec has gone through four CEOs in the past decade. "Frankly, there is a lot of pressure on directors to get it right. This likely results in directors being risk averse, which of course only serves to narrow their view of who might be acceptable," says Nicholas Donatiello, one of the researchers in the study.

Red Bull put their recent troubles behind them, with Daniel Ricciardo clinching a stunning surprise victory in the Chinese Grand Prix. It's the Australian's sixth career win.
A mid-race safety car had given Ricciardo the opportunity to take on fresh tyres at a crucial moment. It allowed him to overtake his way to the lead ahead of Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.
An out-of-sorts Lewis Hamilton struggled his way to fourth place. However he still finished ahead of his title rival, after Sebastian Vettel was involved in a collision with Max Verstappen which meant he finished in eighth place.
The sun had finally decided to make an appearance in Shanghai, instantly raising the track temperatures. Ferrari and Mercedes had planned for this with their strategy of starting the race on soft tyres, while the rest of the top ten would have to manage on the faster but shorter-lived ultrasofts.
When the lights went out, a clean start saw polesitter Sebastian Vettel move across to stop his Ferrari team mate Kimi Raikkonen from stealing a march down the inside. It worked, and Vettel retained the lead into the first corner. However Raikkonen - and Lewis Hamilton behind him - both lost momentum as a consequence.
That allowed Valtteri Bottas to swoop in and claim second place, with Max Verstappen following him through for third. Behind them, Daniel Ricciardo held on to sixth place ahead of the sparring Renaults of Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz, with a similar duel between Haas drivers Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean rounding out the top ten. The Frenchman soon had Fernando Alonso nipping at his wing mirrors in the McLaren.
Vettel soon got down to work and quickly ensured Bottas was out of DRS range. Verstappen was also in consolidation mode, having been warned by the Red Bull pit wall not to get too greedy after his flying start.
Toro Rosso's Brendon Hartley was the first man to abandon the ultrasofts on lap 11, switching to the mediums. Sainz and Hulkenberg soon followed suit. Force India responded by calling in Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez, but in their case the call was to run the next stint on softs. Although this dropped them to the back of the field, their fresh rubber soon had them picking off backmarkers to regain lost ground.
Red Bull made their ultrasofts last 18 laps, at which point the team called in both Verstappen and Ricciardo at the same time for a synchronised switch to mediums. Mercedes immediately responded by bringing Hamilton in next time by, and Bottas on lap 20.
Ferrari initially held their nerve, only belatedly realising the significant danger of the undercut. When Vettel pitted on lap 21, it was already too late. He lost position to Bottas as he exited pit lane, after an understandably tentative pit stop following last week's disaster.
Having failed with Vettel, Ferrari had to decide what to do with Raikkonen's pit stop strategy. Although the Finn was currently leading the race, a pit stop now would drop him back to sixth place. All they could do was keep him out and hope for something to happen - and effectively use him to back Bottas into the clutches of Vettel.
By lap 27, the strategy had put the top three within a few tenths of each other on track. However, by now Raikkonen's tyres were shot and he was finally picked off by Bottas, with Vettel following him through. Raikkonen - his race seemingly now sacrificed to team strategy - immediately dived into the pits, coming back out behind Ricciardo. Meanwhile Vettel was doing everything he could to find his way around the Mercedes, but Bottas was proving steadfast in the lead.
After the heights of Pierre Gasly's success in Bahrain, Shanghai proved a day to forget for both him and Toro Rosso. Gasly made an ill-advised lunge down the inside of his team mate into the hairpin on lap 31, the collision spinning Brendon Hartley around. Despite damage, both cars were able to continue after being checked over and patched up on pit lane. However Gasly was handed a 10 second penalty for causing the accident.
The bodywork debris left on track by clashing Toro Rossos triggered a safety car. It was perfect timing for Red Bull, who immediately responded by double stacking their drivers for a second time. Renault responded similarly. But it was not so opportune for the rest of the leaders, with Bottas, Vettel, Hamilton and Raikkonen all staying out.
When the race resumed, Ricciardo made quick work of passing Raikkonen for fifth place on lap 38. Verstappen also tried leaning on Hamilton, only to be pressured wide in turn 8 which allowed Ricciardo to make up another spot at his team mate's expense. This actually proved bad news for Hamilton as well, with Ricciardo once again proving himself Formula 1's modern king of late-braking overtaking into the hairpin on lap 41 to wrest third from the Mercedes.
Moments later Ricciardo had an even easier time flying past Vettel for second, while Hamilton's depression deepened further when Verstappen similarly got the jump on him for fourth place. Raikkonen was next to line the Mercedes up for a pass, when ahead of them there was a clash between Vettel and Verstappen that left both cars spinning at the hairpin. Hamilton avoided running into the stationary pair, but lost the place to Raikkonen in the process.
Verstappen and Vettel both got going again. However Vettel lost a further place to Hulkenberg as he recovered, and race stewards handed Verstappen a ten second time penalty for causing the collision. Meanwhile, it was with a sense of triumphant inevitability that Ricciardo completed another swashbuckling pass on Bottas to take control of the race on lap 46.
Like his team mate before him, Verstappen was able to pass Hamilton on track. However he was labouring under the penalty which meant he was still classified in fifth place. Hulkenberg was secure in sixth ahead of Vettel, who eventually succumbed to a move from Alonso in the closing laps. That dropped him to eighth place ahead of Sainz and Magnussen.
The Force India cars of Ocon and Perez once again hovered just outside the points, with Stoffel Vandoorne finishing ahead of the two Williams cars of Lance Stroll and Sergey Sirotkin. Marcus Ericsson finished the race in 16th, three places ahead of his Sauber team mate Charles Leclerc who had suffered a brief off-track excursion into the gravel on lap 29.
Gasly limped home in 18th in his wounded Toro Rosso, with Hartley classified as the sole DNF of the day. Having run in the top ten early in the race, Romain Grosjean fell to 17th for Haas by the chequered flag.

Hannaford loses lawsuit to block Market Basket in Bedford
April 25. 2013 10:20AM
CONCORD — Hannaford Brothers lost its attempt in state Supreme Court to block a competing supermarket chain from building a larger store in Bedford.
The court's decision, released Thursday, said Hannaford Brothers "has failed to demonstrate that it has a 'direct, definite interest in the outcome'" of the Zoning Board of Adjustment's decision to grant a variance for a Market Basket grocery store.
The zoning board in 2008 limited Hannaford Brothers to a 40,000-square-foot store for its location on Route 101, according to a Hannaford attorney. In November 2010, representatives for the Market Basket project filed an application seeking a variance to exceed that limit and build a store that was 78,332 square feet on Route 114, about 3.8 miles from Hannaford.
Hannaford sued after Market Basket was given the go-ahead in October 2011 to construct the store on property previously home to Golfland miniature golf course and Slammers Sports Bar and Grill, about a half-mile from the intersection of routes 114 and 101.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 42-year-old man who fired a slingshot at Alaska State Troopers has been sentenced to two years in prison.
The Anchorage Daily News (http://bit.ly/RqWvTq) reports Jose Pacheco pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and was sentenced last week.
Troopers in mid-January took a 911 call reporting gun shots and people who had been hit.
At least seven troopers surrounded a house near Wasilla with Pacheco inside.
Troopers reported that after several hours, Pacheco broke out a window and fired the slingshot at officers, who at first thought they were avoiding gunshots. No one was injured.
Investigators determined Pacheco had also made the original 911 call.
Palmer Superior Court Judge Eric Smith sentenced Pacheco on Friday to five years in prison with three years suspended and three years of probation.

About this series: Over the next two months, I'll be chatting weekly with Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly and chronicling his preparation for April's NFL draft. This is the first installment.
On Friday, January 6, Luke Kuechly announced from his hometown of Cincinnati that he would forgo his senior year at Boston College and enter the NFL draft.
Three days later, he was in front of a TV in Bradenton, Fla., watching the BCS title game and preparing for seven weeks of training, leading up to the combine in Indianapolis.
Kuechly, considered among the top inside linebacker prospects in the draft and a first-round prospect, called on other Boston College products like Mark Herzlich, Anthony Castonzo, Jamie Silva and Alex Albright when weighing his decision to turn pro.
"Everyone said, 'You've got to do what's right for you,'" Kuechly said. "'You'll know what the right decision is, what makes you happy.'"
And so he decided it was time to take the final steps in pursuing a dream that was rooted in his first days on the football field as a fourth grader.
The process has now moved to IMG Academy in Florida, where Kuechly and 29 other prospects like Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson and Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill spend their days training.
The techniques are different than what Kuechly was used to. At Boston College, training always carried with it a football focus, the idea being preparation leading to results on Saturdays.
But now, the focus is on the combine. Yes, there are football-specific drills. But the combine presents a specific set of predictable tests. With the right preparation, prospects will be ready for exactly what's thrown at them. From an athletic standpoint, that means Kuechly's working on his 40 time, plyometrics, stretching, footwork, making sure he maximizes his explosiveness.
From an off-the-field perspective, it means getting ready for the Wonderlic test and making sure he interviews well with coaches, general managers, scouts and personnel men.
Whichever team drafts Kuechly in April will do so based on the merits of his tape. For evaluators, tape is another word for production. Teams looking at Kuechly will see the nation's leading tackler in each of the past two seasons, averaging 15.92 tackles per game in 2011.
They'll see the winner of the Nagurski Award, given to the nation's top defensive player. And the winner of the Butkus Award, given to the nation's top linebacker.
While Kuechly's production on the field has gotten him to this point, he realizes the combine is just part of the draft process.
"Size and speed," he answered, when asked what NFL teams are most likely to zero in on. "Those are the questions circling around. How big am I and how fast am I going to run."
The first question can already be answered. Kuechly said he's 6-2 and currently weighs around 241 or 242. He expects to be at 240 at the combine. The second question will be answered in Indy.
As for draft projections, ESPN's Mel Kiper has Kuechly rated as his top linebacker and 10th-best prospect, praising him for his instincts and his ability to shed blocks. He has the Eagles picking Kuechly at No. 15 in the first round, although a lot can change in terms of team needs with free agency in March.
ESPN's Todd McShay also has Kuechly as his top-rated linebacker and 10th-best prospect overall.
And NFL.com's Mike Mayock has Kuechly as his second-best linebacker, behind only Alabama's Courtney Upshaw, who projects as a 3-4 outside linebacker.
Kuechly has seen and heard some of the scouting reports? But does he agree with them?
"A lot of them say I play instinctively," Kuechly said. "That's true the more I think about it. I just let myself go out there and play."
And the weaknesses?
"I've got to do a better job in general of playing in coverage," he said. "I have a lot to work on. It's a faster game. You've got to adapt with what comes your way."
The success of tight ends like Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham and Vernon Davis is not lost on Kuechly, who realizes the importance of playing in coverage, along with stopping the run.
When asked which linebacker he most admires, Kuechly didn't hesitate.
"My favorite player for awhile has been Ray Lewis," Kuechly said, explaining that he watched Lewis and the Ravens face his hometown Bengals growing up. "His passion for the game is the number one thing. He loves playing football, and that's helped him be great."
Lewis was the 26th pick in 1996. Kuechly figures to go higher, but with the draft still 12 weeks away, there are several steps to take before finding out where he'll begin his NFL career.

Salem selectman accused of hostility
SALEM - An investigation into the behavior of Salem Selectman Stephen Campbell has been launched after several town employees complained about Campbell's alleged "aggressive and hostile" interactions with them.
During Monday night's meeting of the board of selectmen, town manager Keith Hickey discussed a recent incident between Campbell and Molly McKean, the town's human resources director.
Board chairman Pat Hargreaves said the incident in questioned happened several weeks ago and all attempts to address the issue would happen in public, as required by state law. Hickey said he wanted the full board to be aware of the issue, noting that Campbell had visited Town Hall recently and "spoke to a staff member in an aggressive and intimidating voice."
"It's something I've wrestled with for the past couple of weeks," Hickey told the board on Monday. "But if the roles had been reversed . steps would have been taken to address the behavior of the person who made these comments."
"It puts an employee who ultimately answers to me in a very uncomfortable situation," Hickey said. "This isn't the first time this has happened . and it needs to be addressed so we can operate as efficiently as we can."
In a memo McKean sent to Hickey on Feb. 1, which was partially read into the minutes during the selectmen's meeting, McKean said she's witnessed Campbell speak "aggressively" to other employees.
"This was an interaction about a particular separation agreement. Mr. Campbell was very upset but he told me it wasn't directed at me personally," McKean said. "One of the repeated complaints I've gotten is the behavior of (Campbell). I don't take it lightly."
McKean said she felt Campbell's information request in itself wasn't unreasonable, but she took issue with his harsh approach.
"He was seeking information as proper ... but I simply could not let this go," she added. "I'm not seeking any punishment or sanction but I think the goal of all the people in this room is to make communication better."
Hickey said: "The problem I have is the complete lack of respect given (to staff) at times. And ignoring this puts us at risk of litigation."
Selectman Jim Keller said he felt that "no employee in this town should be intimated by any member of this board, for any reason."
"That's a problem in my mind," Keller told Hickey.
Selectman Everett McBride Jr. said: "I think we all have to respect one another and that's the biggest issue. But I've known Stephen for many years. He's edgy, but that's just the way he is."
Hargreaves said: "Steve is very intimidating, even when he talks to me. But I take him with a grain of salt. He's passionate about certain things. I've been told the same thing about myself."
Campbell said most of his interactions with town staff are limited to emails sent to Hickey, though once in a while he'll be at Town Hall and decide there's a need to speak to someone face to face.
"In a great, great while if (Hickey) isn't here, I'll call a department head into question," Campbell said.
During the exchange with McKean, Campbell said he asked permission to question McKean at the start of the conversation.
"I'm sorry if you think it's intimidating, but (the expenditure in question) came as a complete surprise," Campbell told McKean on Monday. "I don't know what the problems are. I know I'm a fiscal conservative, and I know I'm not the favorite of all people in town. But I make it a point to go directly through the town manager most of the time. If I have to make it 100 percent of the time, then that's OK with me."
Selectman Michael Lyons commended Hickey and McKean for bringing the matter to the board's attention. Following a lengthy discussion, the four other board members agreed Campbell's behavior was "unacceptable and shouldn't happen again" and ultimately voted in favor of bringing in an external party or possibly the country attorney to investigate concerns about Campbell's behavior. Campbell abstained from the vote.

Snow removal puts state $6 million in hole
GOFFSTOWN - For teachers and staff in the Goffstown School District, there will be no avoiding that 5 a.m. phone call from SAU 19 Superintendent Stacy Buckley on snow days.
Despite objections from some of its members, the school board Monday kept a policy on the current emergency notification system.
Nashua, Weare, Epsom and Hooksett use a similar system. Manchester parents can sign up for text message alerts.
For Goffstown parents who find the Power Announcement phone calls more annoying than convenient, there is an opt-out. That option is not available to teachers and staff, and one board member thinks that's unfair and a misuse of the technology.
Board member Dan Cloutier said he's concerned those early morning phone calls are a nuisance to spouses of school district employees who don't have to be up at that early hour. He said the system wasn't really intended to be used to announce snow days.
"The issue is getting a call on a snow day," said Cloutier. "Is that an emergency? In my regard, no. I agree with it when there's an emergency, but that's not what we use it for."
Buckley said Power Announcement is intended to deliver a message before teachers get to school. She worries staff members who opt out of the phone call could walk into a dangerous situation.
"Heaven forbid there's a gunman or something," Buckley said.
In addition to telephone, TV and radio, snow day notifications are sent using text messages and emails, Buckley said.
New board member Ben Hampton, who teaches at Manchester Community College, said a similar system is in place where he works, but teachers and staff can opt out of the early morning phone call.
"I think there's a better way of doing this," he said.
Buckley said only two staffers have asked not to be included on the list.
In Bedford, the school district uses Alert Now, a system similar to Goffstown's Power Announcement. Superintendent Tim Mayes said in Bedford two phone calls go out on the morning of a snow day, one at 5 a.m. for teachers and staff and the other at 6 a.m. for parents.
"We didn't use it initially for snow days," Mayes said. "But then we had a number of days out when the power was gone and they said, 'This is great - keep doing it,'" he said. Mayes said since the system was put in place in 2009, no one has asked to be taken off the call list.
Mayes said snow day cancellations are also made using Twitter, the school district's Facebook page, as well as television and radio.
Scott Earnshaw is the parent of two children who attend Bedford schools.
"I think it's convenient to have the calls come through," he said.

Woman's head stepped on by Rand Paul supporters
There are 27767 comments on the TwinCities.com story from Oct 26, 2010, titled Woman's head stepped on by Rand Paul supporters. In it, TwinCities.com reports that:Supporters of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul wrestled a woman to the ground and one stepped on her head after she tried to confront the candidate in Kentucky.

Rand Paul supporters don't respect the 1st Amendment.

The video clearly shows the woman being wrestled to the ground and her wig being pulled off. It also shows a man stepping on her shoulder and pushing down with his foot; then someone yells "no, no, come on" and the man backs off.
Question: 1st of all there was no reason for the man to step on her shoulder! Why was the woman trying to disquise herself? Why did she feel compelled to approach Ron Paul in the disquise? With the president calling the opposition the "enemy" was it possible they though she was a terrorist trying to hurt Ron Paul? And why was she there representing Moveon.org a far left progressive group if not to disrupt, impune, and be able to run to the media saying she was the victim?
Those who are supporters of the conservative movement must remember ... do not stoop to the level of the progressives, i.e. moveon.org , tides, etc. They are only interested in causing riots with the intent of intimidating people who don't agree with their position. We must respect their rights to protest while protecting the conservative candidates from being hurt, using the least amount of force possible!

I watched the video and with about four big guys pushing a small woman to the ground a fifth decided to come over and step on her head a couple of times after she had been completely subdued. Stay classy Kentucky.
#6 Oct 26, 2010
We may differ on our Political views, but I want to Thank-You for trying to calm down the Conservatives in this Great State!
#7 Oct 26, 2010
Headline should read "Disguised Liberal Goes for Paul". What happened may be true but a moveon follower is disguised, has a fake award and heads towards a candidate?
Please at least try to save what little journalistic dignity might be remaining.
Take down that woman equally just like any man - remember Squeeky Fromme? We are told women are liberated and she could be a psycho-assasin just like any man. Do we wait to find out what weapon she may use?
Now if there is belated pile-on than make short note of it but don't make it seem like she is an innocent victim. She went in a disguise to an opposition rally and then heads for the candidate.
#8 Oct 26, 2010
Obviously she was trying to rankle him a bit as he was going into the debate. In disguise? She didn't want anyone to know who she was? If she had tried to approach the president the results would have been way worse. She probably would have been put in restraints and interrogated for a few hours. What a nut case. While I don't agree with all Paul says, he is fresh blood and has good intentions. Even that today in this political climate is refreshing.

...stepped on her head???
....*sigh*.....Rookies.....tha ts what a Tazer is for.
#10 Oct 26, 2010
Yeah, blame the victim.
All of you conservatives caterwauling about freedom of speech until it impinges on your beliefs. Where were you when Andrew Briebart perpetrated his stunts?
The violence from the right far exceeds that coming from the left. Using false equivalencies about violence that happened in the 60s and 70s ain't gonna cut it.
And Rand Paul completely changed his style and intentions after meeting with Karl Rove. I watched the debate last night. He is well coached with republican memes.
#11 Oct 26, 2010
She was in disguise. She was a security risk. What else was she concealing? She's lucky she wasn't arrested.
#12 Oct 26, 2010
It was an uncalled for assault on this woman. It is unfortunate that the title of this thread says her Head was stepped on. After reviewing the video, it is clearly her shoulder that is pushed down. And it will probably never be prosecuted. I seriously doubt she's going to return to Kentucky from her home state of Massachussetts to testify against this idiot who needs to be prosecuted. Which begs another question: Why did this woman come to Kentucky to try to stir stuff up? And nobody is talking about the Paul supporter whose injured foot was stomped at the same event. It just goes to show supporters on both sides will do whatever they want to do to either "help" their candidate or punish the opposition supporters. Why don't we have the option to vote "Neither, find someone else"? What happened to civility and mutual respect? I can't wait for this election to be over.
#13 Oct 26, 2010
Clearly this is undeniable proof that all republicans are in fact racist. Why else would the redneck immediately go for a "curb-stomp".

The race card has been overplayed. Time to try something else.
Why haven't we heard about the SEIU thugs that beat up the black Republican?
#16 Oct 26, 2010
Please give some examples to prove your claim violence from the right far exceeds that of the left. I disagree with you.
#18 Oct 26, 2010
No matter what excessive force was used on that woman. Everyone has rights. The race card has been over played.
Saint Paul, MN
#19 Oct 26, 2010
Now if you can convince Obama to stop calling people who don't agree with him "the enemy" or bigoted or racist...or when you can stop George Soros and his minions, moveon.org , Tides, etc as well as the unions from inciting and intimidating we will be well on our way to civil discourse on the issues.
#20 Oct 26, 2010
Lauren Valle is a well known radical on the extreme far left. So, why was she in Kentucky wearing a fake blonde wig, carrying a fake sign/award to try and humiliate Rand Paul, if not to create a stir?
Who paid her travel expenses to KY? I think we can see who No-way Conway's supporters are now. MoveOn, Green Peace, George Soros are all the type of organizations we could expect to benefit from Jack Conway as Senator.
Just remember who has the ties to radical extremists on Election Day!
#21 Oct 26, 2010
With all the negative and hateful propaganda and unprofesstional manner that Rand Paul and the republican party has dished out in the last few months, why would anyone be surprised at this behavior? Have we all forgotten that she had the same right to be there as the Rand Paul supportors? For those of you who don't know it is within her first amendment rights to protest or support or wear a wig to do so. I too watched the video and find the behavior of the men involved barbaric and uncivilized. How embarrassing for the state of KY that we have come to this. Also a word of advise for all you so called "tea partiers"....be very careful by thinking or ASSuming that Rand Paul is respresenting you. He will be Mitch McConnell's lap dog and will be an ineffective representative of this state. I would say that this is not the last contraversial thing that happens surrounding him!!! Now that I think of it....not the first either!!!
#23 Oct 26, 2010
The man that stepped on her head should be jailed and fined. I don't care which one wins, neither one has earned my vote...

she got paid good for it

"We're not this yellow patchwork house anymore," said Todd McDougal, sitting inside the renovated parlor of the "dream home" he purchased with his wife, Renita, in July 1999.
"We're not this yellow patchwork house anymore," said Todd McDougal, sitting inside the renovated parlor of the "dream home" he purchased with his wife, Renita, in July 1999.
When the couple bought the 1903 Curtis-Burckmeyer house at 731 Fourth Ave. W., it needed work... a lot of work. The front of the house was painted gray. Shades of yellow primer and samples of other colors adorned the house's other exterior walls, which now are all blue.
Three blocks away at 311 Buncombe St., a house owned by Anne Hansley that was once pink with purple trim has taken on a more subtle green hue these days. Splashes of yellow, purple and deep burgundy pop out of the new garden in the house's front lawn.
During a Hendersonville City Council meeting last week, council members recognized and honored both homeowners for their efforts in restoring two of some of the city's most historic properties. The homeowners also received an award from the Historic Preservation Commission for their efforts in the city's West Side Historic District. They each received a plaque and $100 cash.
"We had always wanted an old house. And it just almost hurts when people take an old house and put a modern kitchen in it or something," said Renita McDougal. "It's just not our thing. It's just not what we would do."
Todd McDougal saw the house for the first time when he was attending Blue Ridge Community College several years ago. He fell in love with it. His wife did, too, and for years they would drive by the home admiring it from the street.
When they saw a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn in 1999, they booked a showing, then bought the home and started a series of restoration projects that would take more than a decade to finish.
They started with the home's exterior and kitchen. Inside, the foyer was flanked by two parlors. One became a library. Two years later they dug into landscaping improvements, calming a six-feet-to-the-curb drop-off with a slighter slope. They redid the home's semicircle driveway.
In 2010, the McDougals tackled the inside of the house, renovating two bathrooms and adding a third to the master suite. They had the floors refinished and the ceilings stripped of "funky texture" and "acoustical tiles."
They planned to use subway tiles in the walls of the downstairs bathroom, and after contractors dug through six or seven layers of wallpaper and hardboard, they found that a previous homeowner attempted the same motif.
"We discovered that one wall had been plastered, but they had tooled the plaster to look like subway tile," Renita McDougal said.
It was one of several discoveries they would make. The interior of the bathroom walls were insulated with newspapers from the 1920s, dating back to the house's possible first inclusion of indoor plumbing. When adding a screened porch off the dining room, the contractor discovered supports for an L-shaped porch that once wrapped around the home before it was taken off for an expansion in the 1920s.
"That was kind of cool for us to know that we were putting a porch back where a porch had been," Renita McDougal said. "It was a lot of fun to come home every day and see what had been uncovered and discovered while they were doing the restoration work."
Interior restorations were completed in almost seven months. "Most of it we have returned to what would have been done in 1903," she said.
"With one really big exception," her husband added. The beautiful yellow pine that once graced the walls of the old home have long been covered by several layers of paint. Restoring it to its original stained glory was not an option, but they are happy with the work that was done.
"We love the house more now because we don't look and see projects everywhere," she said. "Sometimes we'll actually have people who leave notes on our door — it's happened more than once — just thanking us for the work we've done… We take a lot of pride in keeping it nice and period."
311 Buncombe St.
Anne Hansley bought her home in January 2000. "It was pink then with purple trim, and I liked its Key West colors," she said.
"I was renting an upstairs apartment a block away with my two little girls, Caroline and Diana. Caroline was 6 at the time and kept bugging me to go meet Nancy, who lived in 'the Pink House' and hosted 'Ice Cream Thursdays' for all the kids in the neighborhood. Finally we met and she mentioned her preparations to move."
Hansley bought "the pink house." She thought it was beautiful and said it was "mostly restored" when she purchased it, but the old house cried for something more.
"(I) think it was 2005 when we had water intrusion under the front wall into an earth berm in the basement," she said. "Since we had to jack up the house, take out the front wall and dig out five feet just to pour the replacement concrete wall, I decided to dig out another five feet, expanding the downstairs under the porch."
Hansley added energy-saving radiant floors and the makeover, she said, took more than a year to finish.
The "transformation was magical and welcomed by the neighborhood. People still stop all the time, sharing admirations for the garden and the house... all who visit seem to love it there," she said. "I loved my life there for many reasons."
Hansley now lives on a farm and is renting out the Buncombe Street house.

Gonic man faces texting while driving charges after traffic stopBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
April 12. 2013 12:54AM
ROCHESTER - Police arrested a Gonic man on several charges Thursday, including allegedly texting while driving.
Around 4:25 p.m., officers determined that Aaron Shackelford, 20, of 9 Strafford Road in Gonic, was driving while distracted downtown.
As a result of a traffic stop, police obtained a search warrant and allegedly found evidence of other criminal activity.
Shackelford was charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute, three counts of receiving stolen property, underage transportation of alcohol in a motor vehicle, texting while driving and having an uninspected motor vehicle.
He was also held on a bench warrant for allegedly failing to appear for an arraignment on seven previous charges of receiving stolen property stemming from incidents in Barrington.
Police said the goal of the traffic patrols is to concentrate efforts on areas in the city where there is a history of criminal and motor vehicle offenses.
Possession of drugs with intent to distribute is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison.
Receiving stolen property is a Class A misdemeanor and each count could result in up to a year in jail, while transporting alcohol in a motor vehicle, texting while driving and having an uninspected motor vehicle are all violations, which could result in a fine of up to $1,000.
Shackelford, who was held on the bench warrant, refused bail and was taken to Strafford County Jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Rochester District Court.

Manchester couple's son sought; house combed for clues; autopsies set today

Dions: He collected stamps, she quilted
MANCHESTER - Authorities continue to investigate the suspicious deaths of two people whose bodies were discovered in a burning home on Monday and are asking the public for help in locating a "person of interest" - the homeowners' son.
Police have yet to find Matthew Dion, 38, who lived at the 210 Mooresville Road home with his parents, Bob and Connie Dion. Investigators released additional photographs of Dion who they said is believed to be operating a white 2009 Nissan Altima with New Hampshire registration 341-0587.
Autopsies were scheduled for Wednesday morning on the bodies, after which authorities are expected to release their identities.
Relatives of Bob and Connie Dion believe they are the victims.
Police and fire investigators remained on the scene Wednesday, where yellow police tape still cordons off the split level home. A red trailer from the state Fire Marshal's Office and the Manchester Police Department's Critical Incident Response Team truck both were parked on site.
Firefighters were inside the heavily damaged home and two were seen in the rear going through rubble.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Matthew Dion or the described vehicle is urged to call 911, or Manchester police at (603) 668-8711.
"I don't think we have any solid leads at this point (into his whereabouts)," Janice Rundles, a homicide prosecutor with the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, said Tuesday night.
Jim Normand, a Manchester lawyer hired to represent a nephew of the Dions in a likely Probate Court case, said his client Roger Mitchell has met with investigators. Normand said the family is fairly confident the bodies, found together in the ground floor of the split level home, are those of Bob and Connie Dion.
Rundles said police agencies in the state have been notified about Matthew Dion and a missing family car, a white, 2009 Nissan Altima with a New Hampshire registration 341-0587. Dion is described as 5 foot 8 inches and about 200 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.
Authorities know the location of the other family car, and that is part of the investigation, Rundles said.
"The million-dollar question is, 'Where is my cousin?'" said Michael Mitchell. Family members have said that Matthew Dion lived at the house along with Michael Focosi, the teenage son of Dion's fiance.
Gathering evidence
The fire and discovery of the bodies are part of investigations that involve Manchester police and fire officials, the state Fire Marshal's Office and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Throughout the day Tuesday, police and fire officials combed the property and entered and exited the house. Police and fire agencies parked trailers outside the house at 210 Mooresville Road, and used the adjacent parking lot of the Manchester Church of God.
Investigators who entered the split-level house wore face masks. Yellow police crime-scene tape was stretched across the yard. Trucks from several Boston television stations were parked on a nearby lot.
"Obviously, it's a very complicated scene," Rundles said. She said investigators were working to determine both what caused the fire and gather evidence about the deaths, Rundles said.
The fire was called in at 2:37 p.m. Monday by people who said they heard an explosion.
The bodies were discovered after firefighters had all but extinguished the flames. With reports of an explosion, and a visible shift in a portion of the front exterior wall, firefighters had worked to brace the structure before entering it.
District Fire Chief Michael Gamache said an explosion was the result of a flashover or smoke explosion. It knocked the building a foot off the foundation and blew off both the front and rear doors. He said a flashover occurs when a fire reaches a temperature of between 500 and 600 degrees, blowing out windows.
"It was a violent explosion that knocked the house off its foundation," Gamache said.
Family interviewed
Rundles said authorities have interviewed family members, who have been cooperative in the investigation. Family and friends of the Dions have also spoken to reporters.
The retired couple have been described as loving and outgoing. They opened their home to family when they needed a place to stay. Retired and in relatively good health, they pursued their interests — travel, stamp collecting and quilting, friends said.
Family members have said that Bob Dion's stamp collection was significant and valuable, but Rundles would not discuss the collection or whether it was intact.
