Randolph chief convicted of criminal mischief BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN — Randolph police chief Gordon “Alan” Lowe Jr., was found guilty of a misdemeanor offense in Berlin District Court on Sept. 23. Lowe, 70, of Randolph, who is a certified police officer and owns Lowe’s garage in that town, was convicted of criminal mischief for punching a vehicle on his property on June 25, 2010. He was fined $500, suspended on the condition of good behavior for one year, restitution of $585.37 and no contact with the victims, Donna Hatin and Brian Ingerson, both of Vermont.

According to the affidavit for the original arrest warrant, Hatin and Ingerson were traveling in a Toyota 4Runner on June 25, and pulled into Lowe’s. Ingerson walked to the rear of a parked wrecker to relieve himself, but before he could, Lowe walked toward him yelling that he was the police chief and he better not relieve himself on his land. Ingerson told police that he apologized and went to leave, but Lowe struck the vehicle with both fists causing dents in the door. The travelers reported the incident to NH State Police, Troop F, and Lowe was arrested see CHIEF page 9

Budget committee member protests trespass arrest BY MELISSA GRIMA THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

GORHAM — A member of Gorham’s budget committee was arrested for trespassing at the town airport last week and wasted no time protesting the circumstances of his arrest. Robert Balon, 48, of Gorham was arrested at 3:11 p.m. on Sept. 28, and charged with criminal trespass, a class B misdemeanor. According to the affidavit for an arrest warrant, filed by Gorham Police Chief

Paul Cyr, the airport entrances are posted with signs prohibiting trespassing under RSA 422. A public works department employee, who was mowing the airfield, observed Balon’s vehicle parked near the hangars and Balon standing near the truck taking photos of the employee. Public works superintendent Austin “Buddy” Holmes reported the incident to the police after his employee informed him, Cyr said. The employee also took a see PROTESTS page 19

Man dies after falling into Swift River BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Searchers on Monday pulled the body of a 31-year-old New Hampshire man from the Swift River in Albany, one day after he fell in several miles upstream. Authorities withheld the victim’s identity. “We’re not going to release the name until 2 p.m. tomorrow

afternoon,” Lt. Jim Goss of New Hampshire Fish and Game said, because the victim has family members overseas who had not yet been notified of his death. The man went in at Lower Falls around 2 p.m. Sunday, according to Sgt. Brian Abrams of Fish and Game. “When he went to leave he actually see MAN DIES page 5

Rainy weather fails to dampen Lumberjack’s spirits BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN—A little rain never stopped a dedicated lumberjack, or so the few spectators who turned out for the 12th annual Lumberjack Festival at the Northern Forest Heritage Park discovered Sunday. All the events went off like clockwork despite heavy rain, a sea of mud on the floor of the amphitheatre, and the unvoiced concern of competitors for their precious equipment—even the Underhand Chop which involves splitting a thick block of

wood, balanced on supports, by standing on that same small block and bringing an axe down with great force, more or less between your two feet. Competitors do wear steel mesh guards over their toes and shins, but still, it’s a fearsome thing to see powerful men and women swing a razor sharp axe toward their feet, teetering on the ends of the block—particularly when the block of wood is wet and the axe handle potentially slippery in pouring rain.

Wall Street protests spread to other cities

(NY Times) — Three weeks into a protest against corporate abuses and Wall Street power that has led to hundreds of arrests in New York, similar demonstrations are popping up in other cities across the country. On Monday, protesters were camped out in Los Angeles near City Hall, assembled in front of the Federal Reserve Bank building in Chicago and marching through downtown Boston to rally against corporate greed, unemployment and the role that financial institutions have played in pushing the country into its continuing economic malaise. Though the groups have no central organization and protesters in various cities are encouraged to come up with their own list of reasons for demonstrating, the protests have been organized using Facebook and Twitter to collect money, food and blankets and to enlist more supporters. The groups have committees responsible for welcoming, security, transportation, art and the news media. Each has its own Google group. The arrests Saturday of more than 700 protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge for blocking the roadway have energized the movement, and on Monday, new protests were planned for other cities, including Memphis, Tenn.; Allentown, Pa.; and Hilo, Hawaii, according to organizers.

House sets up battle on funding social programs

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — House Republicans are laying the groundwork for another battle with President Obama over spending and domestic policy with a bill that would cut some of his favorite health and education programs, tie the hands of the National Labor Relations Board and eliminate federal grants for Planned Parenthood clinics. The bill, which finances the Departments of Labor, Education and Health and Human Services, would prohibit Obama from spending more money to carry out

the new health care law until all legal challenges to the law were resolved. The bill stipulates that no more federal money could be spent on the government’s main family planning program, Title X of the Public Health Service Act, established more than 40 years ago. The program provides services to more than five million people a year at more than 4,500 clinics. Under the bill, no money “may be made available for any purpose” to Planned Parenthood clinics unless they certify that they

will not perform abortions. The clinics provide a wide range of health services and perform more than 300,000 abortions a year. The bill does not provide any money for Mr. Obama’s school improvement program known as Race to the Top. The bill reflects the position that House Republican leaders want to take into negotiations with the Senate. The top Senate negotiator, Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, supports many of the programs that House Republicans want to trim or eliminate.

E-mails reveal White House Amanda Knox freed after appeal in Italian court concerns over Solyndra WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Even before President Obama’s visit last year to Solyndra, the now-bankrupt solar equipment manufacturer, White House officials expressed concern, saying they were worried that Solyndra might soon collapse, newly disclosed e-mails provided to Congressional investigators show. “I am increasingly worried that this visit could prove embarrassing to the administration in the not too distant future,” one official at the Office of Management

A seven-page report based on the new documents reveals that top White House officials recognized early that the company faced potentially crippling business problems and that the government’s generous investment could backfire on the Obama administration.

PERUGIA, Italy (NY Times) — A court here overturned the homicide convictions of the American Amanda Knox and a co-defendant on Monday and ordered them freed, ending a sensationally lurid trial of murder and rough sex that made Ms. Knox notorious on both sides of the Atlantic. An appellate court jury of eight Italians, which included two judges, delivered their verdict after more than eight hours of deliberations. Knox and her supporters packing the court let out whoops of joy and relief as the verdict was read, prompting court officials to shout for silence. The decision overturns the December 2009 ruling that convicted Knox and sentenced her to 26 years in prison and sentenced her co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, to 25 years for the murder of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher, who shared an apartment with Knox.

Alice Moon Coulombe Serpa, 4, of Berlin, thought it was most amusing to get her step-Dad, Adam Cloutier, also of Berlin, to blow on the little windmill that Alice has been given by one of the teens at the Northern Forest Heritage Park Sunday, who were there to provide amusements for the children who showed up at the Northern Forest Heritage Park’s 12th annual Lumberjack Competition & Festival. Alice was one of the few children but had a great time with her step-Dad, wandering around in the rain in her Lady Bug slicker and boots. (GAIL SCOTT PHOTO) LUMBERJACK’S from page one

Most of the spectators were, in fact, the families of the competitors but here and there were visitors who, with the competitors and the families, got to enjoy some delicious meals in the cookhouse at the park besides the terrific show the lumberjacks put on. As there were few children at the event, the children’s log rolling (burling) competition did not really take place but on hand was expert Alissa Harper, of Bar Harbor, Maine, who showed the crowd some fancy and competitive steps, and gave Brian Fleck, of Fort Collins, Col. a chance to try his luck at staying upright on a rolling log long enough to dunk Harper. There was no contest, but Fleck was amiable in the face of Harper’s expertise. There is prize money involved for first through fifth place in the lumberjack events, which helps with expenses. First is $85; second is $70; third is $50; fourth is $35; and fifth is $20 in each of the events. The women participated in a number of events for which they did not receive overall place scores, perhaps because those events involved men/women duos and were scored for the men’s overall. In first overall among the 25 women competing was Nancy Zalewski, of Manitowoc, Wisc. with a total of 14 points. She placed first in the Women’s Bow Saw and the Underhand Chop and second in the Jack & Jill Crosscut with Mike Sullivan, of Winsted, Conn. Tracie Henning, of Walworth, NY, was second among the women with 10 total points. She placed fifth in the women’s Bow Saw, second in the women’s Underhand Chop, and first in the Jack & Jill with Chris Henning, also of Walworth, NY. In third was Laurette Russell, of New Gloucester, Maine, with seven points overall. She placed first in the Axe Throw and fourth in the Bow Saw. Julie Miller, of Branchport, NY, was fourth overall with 6 points.

She was third in the Bow Saw and third in the Underhand Chop to earn the six points. LaVonne Mikloiche, of Vandling, Penna., was fifth overall with 5 points. She earned one point in the Axe Throw and four points in the Underhand Chop. First overall among the 27 men who competed was Mike Sullivan, of Winsted, Conn. who earned 20 points and demonstrated that a competitor should never say die. He was second in the Axe Throw; disqualified in the chain saw; was fourth in the Bow Saw; second in the Underhand Chop; third in the Standing Block Chop; fourth in the Two Person Cross Cut; second in the Jack & Jill; and fifth in the Log Roll. Veteran Donald Lambert, of St. Gilles, Que., was second overall among the men with 18 points. He was fourth in the chainsaw; won the Bow Saw; won in the Standing Block Chop; was fifth in the Jack & Jill with Helene Lemlin; and won the Log Roll. Dave Engasser, of Cortland, NY, was third overall with 17 points. He was third in the Bow Saw; first in the Underhand Chop; second in the Cross Cut; fourth in the Jack & Jill; and third in the Log Roll. Chris Henning, of Walworth, NY, was fourth overall with 13 points. He placed third in the Underhand Chop; fourth in the Standing Block Chop; third in the Cross Cut; and first in the Jack&Jill. Tim Keech, of Bloomfield, NY, was fifth overall with 12 points. He won the Axe Throw; was second in the Cross Cut; and third in the Log Roll. Sponsors of the event include: A.R.

Nicholas D. Kristof The New York Times

The Bankers and the Revolutionaries AFTER flying around the world this year to cover street protests from Cairo to Morocco, reporting on the latest “uprising” was easier: I took the subway. The “Occupy Wall Street” movement has taken over a park in Manhattan’s financial district and turned it into a revolutionary camp. Hundreds of young people chant slogans against “banksters” or corporate tycoons. Occasionally, a few even pull off their clothes, which always draws news cameras. “Occupy Wall Street” was initially treated as a joke, but after a couple of weeks it’s gaining traction. The crowds are still tiny by protest standards — mostly in the hundreds, swelling during periodic marches — but similar occupations are bubbling up in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington. David Paterson, the former New York governor, dropped by, and labor unions are lending increasing support. I tweeted that the protest reminded me a bit of Tahrir Square in Cairo, and that raised eyebrows. True, no bullets are whizzing around, and the movement won’t unseat any dictators. But there is the same cohort of alienated young people, and the same savvy use of Twitter and other social media to recruit more participants. Most of all, there’s a similar tide of youthful frustration with a political and economic system that protesters regard as broken, corrupt, unresponsive and unaccountable. “This was absolutely inspired by Tahrir Square, by the Arab Spring movement,” said Tyler Combelic, 27, a Web designer from Brooklyn who is a spokesman for the occupiers. “Enough is enough!” The protesters are dazzling in their Internet skills, and impressive in their organization. The square is divided into a reception area, a media zone, a medical clinic, a library and a cafeteria. The protesters’ Web site includes links allowing supporters anywhere in the world to go online and order pizzas (vegan preferred) from a local pizzeria that delivers them to the square. In a tribute to the ingenuity of capitalism, the pizzeria quickly added a new item to its menu: the “OccuPie special.” Where the movement falters is in its demands: It doesn’t really have any. The participants pursue causes that are sometimes quixotic — like the protester who calls for removing Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill because of his brutality to American Indians. So let me try to help. I don’t share the antimarket sentiments of many of the protesters. Banks are invaluable institutions that, when functioning properly, move capital to its best use and raise living standards. But it’s also true

that soaring leverage not only nurtured soaring bank profits in good years, but also soaring risks for the public in bad years. In effect, the banks socialized risk and privatized profits. Securitizing mortgages, for example, made many bankers wealthy while ultimately leaving governments indebted and citizens homeless. We’ve seen that inadequately regulated, too-big-to-fail banks can undermine the public interest rather than serve it — and in the last few years, banks got away with murder. It’s infuriating to see bankers who were rescued by taxpayers now moan about regulations intended to prevent the next bail-out. And it’s important that protesters spotlight rising inequality: does it feel right to anyone that the top 1 percent of Americans now possess a greater collective net worth than the entire bottom 90 percent? So for those who want to channel their amorphous frustration into practical demands, here are several specific suggestions: ¶Impose a financial transactions tax. This would be a modest tax on financial trades, modeled on the suggestions of James Tobin, an American economist who won a Nobel Prize. The aim is in part to dampen speculative trading that creates dangerous volatility. Europe is moving toward a financial transactions tax, but the Obama administration is resisting — a reflection of its deference to Wall Street. ¶Close the “carried interest” and “founders’ stock” loopholes, which may be the most unconscionable tax breaks in America. They allow our wealthiest citizens to pay very low tax rates by pretending that their labor compensation is a capital gain. ¶Protect big banks from themselves. This means moving ahead with Basel III capital requirements and adopting the Volcker Rule to limit banks’ ability to engage in risky and speculative investments. Another sensible proposal, embraced by President Obama and a number of international experts, is the bank tax. This could be based on an institution’s size and leverage, so that bankers could pay for their cleanups — the finance equivalent of a pollution tax. Much of the sloganeering at “Occupy Wall Street” is pretty silly — but so is the self-righteous sloganeering of Wall Street itself. And if a ragtag band of youthful protesters can help bring a dose of accountability and equity to our financial system, more power to them.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OBITUARY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

GORHAM, NH -- Mr. Robert A. Demers, 78, of Gorham, NH, passed away on Sunday August 28, 2011 at the Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin, NH. He was born in Goffstown, NH, on July 7, 1933, the son of Cleo and Dorothy (Sutton) Demers and had

resided in Gorham for many years. A graveside service will be held at the Mt. Hayes Cemetery in Gorham on Friday morning Oct. 7, 2 at 10 a.m. Arrangements are by the Bryant Funeral Home, Gorham. Online guest book at www.bryantfuneralhome.net.

BERLIN -- Berlin Junior High School is excited to announce the inception of a new initiative to coincide with NECAP testing this October. As part of a continuing district-wide drive to increase engagement, achievement, and ultimately our district NECAP scores, BJHS is implementing a program called NECAP Survivor, which is loosely based on the television show of the same name. During the days that NECAP testing is administered (Tuesday, October 11 through Friday, October 14), students in the sixth through eighth grades will participate in a school-wide series of team-building activities, challenges that are both mental and physical, daily “tribal councils,” and daily immunity challenges. This year, testing will be administered by Advisory groups. For NECAP Survivor, each Advisory group will become a “tribe,” reminiscent of the structure of the television version of Survivor. When students are not participating in a testing session, they will be involved in Survivor activities. Additionally, students will gather together with their tribe for breakfast each morning and for time to strategize for upcoming Survivor challenges. The staff at BJHS is excited to facilitate the program and has been busy pulling all of the details together for the start of testing. In fact, they were an integral part of rolling out the program for students last Friday at a school-wide assembly when they participated in the first Survivor event: a secret faculty challenge that set the

tone for the spirit of the initiative and determined what color buffs (headbands) their tribe will wear for NECAP testing week during the Survivor activities. Yvonne Jenkins, BJHS librarian, and Jill Poulin, BJHS physical education teacher, hand-made the buffs in 27 different colors and patterns for all 325 students in the sixth through eighth grades. Additionally, a faculty committee has been meeting weekly to plan for NECAP Survivor. The committee would like to acknowledge the generous support of local businesses and organizations who have jumped on board to support the initiative. The BJHS Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) provided funds to purchase supplies for some of the Survivor challenges. White Mountain Distributors of Berlin has graciously donated cases of water for students, as well as producing large banners and classroom signs with the BJHS NECAP Survivor logo. Coca-Cola also donated cases of water for students, and MacDonald’s of Gorham will provide students with egg McMuffins for breakfast on one of the testing mornings. A letter was sent home with students last week asking for parents’ help with breakfast donations for the other mornings; the committee would like to thank the many parents who have agreed to donate things like fruit, bagels, granola bars and juice for students. If you would like to help by donating additional breakfast items, please contact BJHS Principal Beverly Dupont at 752-5311.

The recovery took members of Fish and Game, Mountain Rescue Service, the Conway Fire Department and military personnel almost an hour to execute. They sent specially-trained Fish and Game officer Brad Morse out into the river, which was still high and brown with silt, tethered to a safety line. He attached a rope to the body, which rescuers on shore used to pull the man over to them. Autumn is a risky time on the river, Lopashanski said, with higher water levels and people wearing more layers of clothing than they would in summer. “It’s more dangerous,” he said.

North Woods Acupuncture Hope for Lupus Sufferers Lupus erythematosus more commonly known as lupus is a disease where the immune system attacks the body causing inflammation and damage to body tissue. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can be very effective at treating lupus and the symptoms associated with lupus. The approach is two pronged. First techniques are used to release inflammation at the deepest levels of the body, this reduces the symptoms. Next we harmonize the immune system to eliminate the source of the disease. Oriental medicine aims to treat the

specific presentations of lupus that are unique to each individual, using a variety of techniques with acupuncture such as herbal medicine to restore balance to the body. Mark Evans is a state-licensed acupuncturist with over 2,000 hours of training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, and Chinese Herbal Medicine. He currently owns and operates North Woods Acupuncture on Riverside Drive in Berlin, New Hampshire.

North Woods Massage

Massage to Manage Stress Massage has become a vital part of living a healthier, less stressful, pain free life. Massage is one of the best antidotes for stress. Daily emotional stress can cause tension in the neck and back causing stiffness. The discomfort of tight muscles increases stress. In some cases a tight neck and shoulders can be the cause of the stress. Activities like sitting at a desk all day or playing sports can cause muscle tightness, which can turn into stress. So how can massage work to reduce your stress? Muscles are manipulated during mas-

sage, which relieves muscle tension. Reducing stress leaves you with more energy, helps decrease the possibility of injury and illness, and improves your outlook on life. Jessica L Roberge is a nationally certified and state licensed massage therapist with over 750 hours of training in Massage Therapy and its ancillary modalities. She currently owns and operates North Woods Massage on Riverside Drive in Berlin, New Hampshire. She is a member of the Associated Bodyworkers and Massage Professionals.

Nutrition for Life Know Your Portion Sizes Many of us tend to underestimate the amount of food we eat and tend to overestimate the recommended portion sizes for many foods. Try pouring out your usual portion of pasta and measuring it. Then, compare it to the label portion size. Chances are, you are eating two, three, or more times the amount on the label! If you are confused when reading a food label, try relating the portion size of a serving to everyday items. It is an easy way to visualize what a true por-

tion size looks like.

La Leche League Moms who are nursing and are going back to work or have changes in their daily lives may have decreases in their milk supply. For newborns remember that the baby needs to nurse for 8-10 times a day. If you notice your baby is not eating this frequently you need step back and take a look at where you might be able to fit an extra nursing or two. Fussier than usual babies, babies not stooling enough are some

symptoms of a lower milk supply. If you have questions feel free to give me a call or contact your baby’s health care provider for answers to your questions. You may reach me at 466-5109 or 313-6276. There is a La Leche League meeting this month on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 10:00-11:30 at The Family Resource Center in Gorham. Call for directions or more details about the meetings.

Replacing missing teeth will benefit not only your appearance but also your health. You’ll be able to eat and speak, two things that most people often take for

granted until their natural teeth are prematurely lost. A complete denture replaces natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person appear older. For more information, or to schedule a denture exam, call Dr. Roland Montminy at 752-2424.

Curves

The more sedentary we become, the more lean muscle tissue we lose. This is because inactivity causes our metabolic rate to slow down. Lean muscle is more active metabolically speaking than fat, and stores fewer toxins. Simply speaking, this means that that the more lean muscle we have, the

better off we are. What is the best way to rev up our metabolic system and fight the loss of lean muscle tissue? The answer is exercise with strength training. three Curves workouts per week is enough to charge up your metabolism and get you on the road to fitness!

Could this Spice Actually Help You Shed Pounds? By Dr. Mercola One of the simplest and most enjoyable ways to up the health ante of your meals is by adding herbs and spices, and in the realm of spices, turmeric and its active ingredient curcumin may be king. If you’re a fan of curry, you’re probably also a fan of turmeric, as this is the yellow-orange spice that makes the foundation of many curry dishes. It’s a great addition to your diet, but to get the full benefits curcumin has to offer, look for a turmeric extract that contains 100 percent certified organic ingredi-

ents and at least 95 percent curcuminoids. Research is emerging showing that this potent spice may play a beneficial role in preventing and treating numerous chronic diseases, and may offer promise in helping people deal with obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases. Does Curcumin Boost Weight Loss? Research in the European Journal of Nutrition suggests that curcumin may be useful for the treatment and prevention of obesity-related chronic see SPICE page 8

eases, as the interactions of curcumin with several signal transduction pathways -- the process by which biological functions are recognized -- also reverse insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and other inflammatory symptoms associated with obesity and metabolic disorders. Curcumin is known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, and chronic inflammation is the hallmark of most chronic disease, including diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. But many people are not aware that obesity contributes to a state of low-grade, chronic inflammation in your body that can trigger metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Curcumin appears to modulate several cellular transduction pathways that contribute to this damaging process. As a result, researchers concluded: “These findings might enable novel phytochemical treatment strategies as well as curcumin translation to the clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of obesity-related chronic diseases. Furthermore, the relatively low cost of curcumin, safety and proven efficacy make it advisable to include curcumin as part of a healthy diet.” Past research has revealed similar findings, including that curcumin reduces the formation of fat tissue by suppressing the blood vessels needed to form it. As the researchers stated: “Our results clearly demonstrate that curcumin at cellular and whole organism levels displays remarkable potential health benefits for prevention of obesity and associated metabolic disorders.” Weight Loss is Just the Icing on the Cake The benefits of curcumin go way beyond weight loss. The compound has been shown to influence more than 700 genes, and it can inhibit both the activity and the synthesis of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX), as well as other enzymes that have been implicated in inflam-

mation. But that’s not all. Curcumin currently has the most evidence-based literature supporting its use against cancer than any other nutrient. Interestingly this also includes the metabolite of curcumin and its derivatives, which are also anti-cancerous. Best of all, curcumin appears to be safe in the treatment of all cancers. Researchers have found that curcumin can affect more than 100 different pathways, once it gets into the cell. More specifically, curcumin has been found to: Inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells: Decrease inflammation; Inhibit the transformation of cells from normal to tumor; Inhibit the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in tumor formation; Help your body destroy mutated cancer cells so they cannot spread throughout your body; Help prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth (angiogenesis). However, much of curcumin’s power seems to lie in its ability to modulate genetic activity and expression -- both by destroying cancer cells and by promoting healthy cell function. As such, evidence suggests curcumin may play a beneficial role in the following conditions: Cystic fibrosis: Type 2 diabetes; Inflammatory bowel disease; Crohn’s disease; Psoriasis; Rheumatoid arthritis ; Cataracts; GallstoneS; Muscle regeneration and regenerate brain cells after stroke; Alzheimer’s disease; Reduce cholesterol levels; Inhibit platelet aggregation; Protect against liver damage; Inhibit HIV replication; Suppress tumor formation; Suppress symptoms of multiple sclerosis Tips for Using Curcumin Therapeutically You can use turmeric in your cooking (choose a pure turmeric powder, rather than a curry powder, as at least one study has found that curry powders tend to contain very little curcumin), but you may also want to consider taking it in supplement

form. For many this is a more convenient method to obtain the potential health benefits, especially if it is from a high-quality organic source, and also if you don’t particularly enjoy the taste of curry. Unfortunately, at the present time there really are no formulations available for the use against cancer, as relatively high doses are required and curcumin is not absorbed that well. According to Dr. William LaValley, one of the leading medicine cancer physicians I personally know, typical anticancer doses are up to three grams of good bioavailable curcumin extract, three to four times daily. One work-around is to use the curcumin powder and make a microemulsion of it by combining a tablespoon of the powder and mixing it into 1-2 egg yolks and a teaspoon or two of melted coconut oil. Then use a high-speed hand blender to emulsify the powder. Another strategy that can help increase absorption is to put one tablespoon of the curcumin powder into a quart of boiling water. It must be boiling when you add the powder as it will not work as well if you put it in room temperature water and heat the water and curcumin. After boiling it for ten minutes you will have created a 12 percent solution that you can drink once it has cooled down. It will have a woody taste. The curcumin will gradually fall out of solution however. In about six hours it will be a 6 percent solution, so it’s best to drink the water within four hours. Be aware that curcumin is a very potent yellow pigment and can permanently discolor surfaces if you aren’t careful. Be Sure Your Weight Loss Strategy is Comprehensive It can’t hurt to add curcumin to your comprehensive weight loss program, but it should not be your only strategy for weight loss if you’re currently overweight or obese.

Police Contraceptive used in Africa may double risk of H.I.V. say city official hid Xbox stolen in burglary BY CLYNTON NAMUO THE UNION LEADER

ROCHESTER — City Clerk Sheryl Eisenberg was arrested Monday morning on charges she hid an Xbox her son allegedly stole during a brutal home invasion in August. Eisenberg, who has served as clerk for eight years, was arrested somewhere on the city hall campus while she was working, though not at the clerk’s office, police said. She was placed on paid administrative leave following her arrest, City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick said. “We will be reviewing this situation as the days unfold,” he said, noting the position is appointed and it is his responsibility to determine the next steps upon consultation with the city council. Eisenberg, 49, of 6 Darby Lane, is charged with one count of falsifying physical evidence, a felony punishable by three and a half to seven years in prison. She was released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled for arraignment in Rochester District Court on Oct. 31. Phillip Eisenberg, Sheryl’s 17-year-old son, is accused of entering a friend’s home at 202 Estes Road early the morning of Aug. 5 to steal. Prosecutors said once inside, he left the home, went to a nearby barn and retrieved a bat, then went back into the house and severely beat Robert and Kristen Cox while they slept in the living room. He also allegedly attacked the family dog. Assistant County Attorney Dorothy Walch described the incident as a vicious, unmotivated attack during Eisenberg’s arraignment this summer.

(NY Times) — The most popular contraceptive for women in eastern and southern Africa, a hormone shot given every three months, appears to double the risk the women will become infected with H.I.V., according a large study published Monday. And when it is used by H.I.V. positive women, their male partners are twice as likely to become infected than if the women had used no contraception. The findings potentially present an alarming quandary for women in Africa. Hundreds of thousands of them suffer injuries, bleeding, infections and even death in childbirth from unintended pregnancies. Finding contraceptives that are affordable and convenient is a pressing goal for international health authorities. But many countries where pregnancy rates are highest are also ravaged by H.I.V. So this new evidence suggesting that the injectable hormonal contraceptive has biologi-

cal properties that may make women and men more vulnerable to H.I.V. infection is particularly troubling. “The best contraception today is injectable hormonal contraception because you don’t need a doctor, it’s longlasting, it enables women to control timing and spacing of birth without a lot of fuss and travel,” said Isobel Coleman, director of the women and foreign policy program at the Council on Foreign Relations. “If it is now proven that these contraceptions are helping spread the AIDS epidemic, we have a major health crisis on our hands.” As a result of the study, which several experts said adds significant heft to previous research, the World Health Organization will convene a meeting of family planning and H.I.V. experts to consider if this new evidence is strong enough to advise women that the method may increase their risk of getting or trans-

mitting H.I.V. “We are going to be reevaluating W.H.O.’s clinical recommendations on contraceptive use,” said Mary Lyn Gaffield, an epidemiologist in the World Health Organization’s Department of Reproductive Health and Research. Before the January meeting, scientists will review research concerning hormonal contraceptives and women’s risk of acquiring H.I.V., transmitting it to men, and the possibility (not examined in the new study) that hormonal contraceptives accelerate H.I.V.’s severity in infected women. “We want to make sure that we warn when there is a real need to warn, but at the same time we don’t want to come up with a hasty judgment that would have far-reaching severe consequences for the sexual and reproductive health of women,” she said. “This is a very difficult dilemma.” Injectable hormones are

extremely popular. About 12 million women between the ages of 15 and 49 in sub-Saharan Africa, roughly 6 percent of all women in that age group, use them. In the United States, 1. 2 million or 3 percent of women use the injectable contraceptive. If the injectables make African women more vulnerable to HIV infection, they would likely have the same effect on women everywhere, scientists said, but the concern is much higher in Africa because risk of H.I.V. transmission from heterosexual sex is so much higher there than in the United States, for example. “Injectables have been more well-received than other methods of contraception because this is something that a woman can do privately herself and it doesn’t need to be remembered to be taken every day,” Dr. Gaffield said. “It’s also a relatively inexpensive method that is safe for community health workers to deliver.”

By Holiday Mathis control. Awareness makes change possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be empowered because you achieve a level of detachment you have not been able to reach until now. You’ll monitor your own emotions. You’ll become a student of your own mind, fascinated by all you learn. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t waste a moment’s thought punishing yourself for what you weren’t able to do before. That was then. This is a new day, and you have fresh powers to employ. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ask yourself constantly what you are thinking and feeling. It matters. You have been conditioned to tune out your own thoughts and emotions. You’ll now benefit from tuning back in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll change a belief because you will realize for the first time its inaccuracy. Don’t worry about replacing the belief just yet. Your open mind will lift your awareness, and the journey toward truth will be exciting. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Without awareness, you are at the mercy of a situation. That’s why you take the time to observe things and understand them. Tonight, you’ll be moved to experiment, and you’ll get interesting results. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 4). Your stellar attitude and positive interpretation of events carry you into a new, exciting era. Business takes off in November. You go forward with great gusto, and you’ll have the momentum to succeed. December and June bring travel. Friends help you stick to health and fitness goals in April. Leo and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 24, 15, 45 and 26.

Get Fuzzy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have questions about so many things, and you’re eager to learn. In the right environment, you do so quickly, but the information is heavy and the distractions are numerous now, so it might take longer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The noise and activity around you may put you a bit on edge. Take measures to calm yourself. Also, there is financial luck in store for you -- perhaps in the form of insurance money, refunds or royalties. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Before you make your move, consult the other people involved. Colleagues, friends and family members will have input. Everything will be easier for you if you take the time to get them on board first. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may think you’re eating too much, too little or all wrong. Either way, all your thoughts about your diet are starting to annoy you. The food you eat seems to fill your thoughts more than it does your stomach. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Believe in your own good luck. You don’t need any talisman to make it so -- it’s your birthright. There are strains of good fortune in your DNA. You’ll make the most of all your opportunities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You think you could have done better, but you’re wrong. Consider the forces that were weighing on you at the time. Next time, you’ll do it differently, but for now, take peace in the knowledge that you did the best you could. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you are unaware, you are at the mercy of your behavioral patterns. But the moment you become aware, you gain

REFLECTIVE OLDER WIFE YEARNS TO BE LOVED AND APPRECIATED

DEAR ABBY: I wonder how many women feel just like me. I spent the best years of my life married to an abuser and cheater, raising three children who were my world. Now, as I approach my twilight years, I have a sick husband who needs my care and three children who are self-sufficient, successful and self-serving. I feel used by all of them. I hear from them only when they need me to baby-sit, provide a shoulder to cry on during breakups, etc. My husband is a sick old man who appears to be headed toward dementia, and I can’t find the courage to walk away. I don’t know what you can do for me because I know I’m only one of millions of women in the same position: We can’t afford a divorce; we want to remain a part of our children’s lives; yet we yearn to give our love to those who can return it and appreciate the loving, competent women we are. What are your thoughts on this? -- LEFT BEHIND DEAR LEFT BEHIND: Your family is not going to change. If you want change in your life, you will have to create it for yourself. Accept that you have been partly to blame for your current situation. You tolerated the abuse and cheating and focused so much attention on your children that they grew up thinking you would jump when they snapped their fingers. If you want to be appreciated, stop acting like a martyr and make yourself less available to all of them. Use the time to carve out an identity of your own before it’s too late. Donate some of that “empty” time to charities you believe in or causes you care about, and you will be appreciated. And while you’re at it, talk to a lawyer and find out what your options are. You may find you’re not as trapped as you think. DEAR ABBY: Our three grandchildren have come to live

with us because their mother got mixed up with drugs and their father died. The middle boy, “Clay,” is such a picky eater, it borders on an eating disorder. He is 11, weighs 60 pounds and is skeletal to look at. He is the smallest child in his grade. He will eat chicken, potatoes, rice, some cereal and peanut butter sandwiches. One day he will like something, the next he won’t. We have caught him making himself vomit after we have insisted he eat something. We have tried not making a big issue about it, saving his plate for the next meal, making him sit at the table until he has eaten everything and had him see a psychologist for a year. Clay is a sweet, engaging child who has convinced two psychologists there is nothing wrong. We know this is the way he has some control over his life, but we are fearful for his health and happiness. We have tried counseling in this community of limited mental health resources. Any suggestions? -- IN A FOOD FIGHT IN ARKANSAS DEAR IN A FOOD FIGHT: Yes. Stop turning mealtime into a battleground. Take Clay back to his pediatrician and find out whether or not his physical development falls into the range of normal. Explain that the boy is living on protein, starches and carbs and ask what supplemental vitamins he should take for his health. So far, all you have accomplished has been to make your grandson associate mealtime with punishment, and that isn’t conducive to anyone’s health and happiness -- not his and not yours. If the doctor says Clay is developing normally, then accept it, as well as the advice of the two psychologists. If he isn’t, consult an expert in eating disorders.

Lisbon Panther shuts out Gorham Huskies, 4-0

LISBON -- Lisbon’s Chad Knighton and Mike Heath provided the Panthers with all of the offense they would need and went on to defeat the Gorham Huskies 4-0 in Lisbon Friday. Lisbon’s Chad Knighton scored first at 3:41 of the first half from Mike Heath. The play was a centering pass from the left side that found Knighton unmarked and ten yards out. Knighton’s shot found the lower right corner for a 1-0 lead. Knighton made it 2-0 with 21:31 gone on the game clock. The goal was unassisted off of a scramble in front of Gorham goal keeper Tyler Sanschagrin from eight yards away and locating the attempt into the

lower left corner. In the second half, the Panther’s Heath scored at 51:04 of the game, coming off a rebound of a Knighton blast. The shot deflected off Gorham’s Sanschagrin and rolled into the lower right corner to give the home team Panthers a three goal advantage. The final goal of the game came from the duo of Heath and Knighton once again just two minutes after their third goal. Knighton delivered a through pass which caught the Huskies up field while they were attacking with everyone. The breakaway found the lower right corner for a 4-0 final score. For the game, Sanschagrin had eight saves and Lis-

bon’s Garrett McGrath had six blocks and team mate Josh Deem another four saves, combining for the shut out. Lisbon held a huge edge in corners 9-2. “Lisbon played with a lot of intensity and emotion,” said Gorham coach, Billy Goodrich. “They came out flying and we did not match what they threw at us. The second half saw some improvement in play, however, we were still unable to get good clean looks at their goal and when we had to take chances to try to attack. They took advantage with their quick counter attacking.” Gorham’s next game is at Littleton on Monday. The Crusaders beat Gorham 1-0 in their first encounter.

Hood pushes Lady Mountaineers past Crusaders BY JEAN LEBLANC THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN -- Berlin senior Megan Hood scored a pair of first half goals, helping the Mountaineers to a hard fought 2-1 victory over Littleton in a girl’s Division III field hockey game in Berlin. Just 5:33 into the contest, Rachel Thompson put the offensive play into motion by sending a hard cross to team mate Carly Perreault. Perreault wasted no time finding Hood. Hood connected on the feed, finding the back of the net for a 1-0 Berlin lead. The goal was Hood’s 10th of the season. At 22:24, Hood netted her eleventh goal of the year, off of a scramble in front of the Littleton goal for a 2-0 advantage. Mountie Monique Demers picked up her fourth assist of the Fall on the goal. Just four minutes later, the visiting Crusaders got themselves into the game netting a goal that began with a corner. Littleton’s Nealy Mason found her team mate Alaeigh Lantainge at the top of the circle. The Crusader’s

shot found its way into the Berlin goal, cutting the Mountaineer advantage to just one goal at 2-1. Littleton keeper, Kristen Wilson was super in between the pipes, blocking thirteen Berlin shots in the first half. Berlin had a six to two advantage in corners. There was no scoring in the second half of the game, giving the Lady Mountaineers their seventh win of the season. Wilson added three more saves to her total for Littleton, while Berlin’s Morgan Ouellet had a save in the Mountaineer goal. Berlin had a four to one edge in corners in the second half. With the loss, Littleton fell to 5-4 on the Fall. Berlin’s next contest will be traveling to White Mountain Regional high school on Saturday. The Spartans will be having their homecoming weekend, adding soccer and cross country to go along with field hockey against the Mountaineers. BHS 2 0-2 LHS 1 0-1 Scoring: LHS- Lantaigne, BHSHood 2.

Riverside to close out 2011 with two huge events GROVETON-- After a two week layoff, the sound of roaring engines will once again fill the North East at Groveton NH’s Riverside Speedway beginning this Saturday at 1 PM. Absolute PowerSports of NH and Passumpsic Savings Bank present the annual “Fall Free For All” that will include two 50 lap Late Model races, two 30 lap Street Stock races, a 14 and under four cylinder youth race for a four foot trophy, a TBA Super Stock race, and a 100 lap 4&6&8 cylinder Cyclone/Enduro race. “Many tracks have closed their doors for 2011,” said Riverside General Manager Jean LeBlanc. “The (Fall Free For All) began a few years ago and has blossomed into a great racing event for several area racers. We get a lot of racers from different tracks to come and take on our regulars. Just to name a few drivers coming for the Late Model event will be Stacy Cahoun, Tyler Cahoun, Donnie Lashua, Sulo Burbank, and others. This year we will celebrate a couple of championships on the front stretch after the features of the Late Models and Street Stocks are completed. It gives our fans a chance to witness the divisional champions and their respective race team up close and personal. Its a nice way for our

champions to be recognized.” There will be several tracks represented at the “Fall Free For All”. WMMP, Caanan, Oxford Plains Speedway, Lee, Star, and Hudson racers have all contacted the speedway for the rules of competition. The price for the grand stands will not change. Pit fees will be $25 with an administrative fee for any outside drivers obtaining a one day license at $15. “The weather appears to be almost perfect for Friday and Saturday afternoons,” said LeBlanc. “What better way to spend a Saturday than to watch drivers from several different tracks take on your own local racers. Its going to be very exciting!” The speedway will have a practice, test, and tune session on Friday afternoon beginning at 3:30 PM until dark. Cost for the session in the pits will be $10 for licensed personal and $15 for non-licensed. The gate price is free for the grandstands and there will be free camping for the weekend. The following weekend, Ouellette Trucking out of Milan NH will be sponsoring the gran-daddy of then all the “Frostbite 250”, a $3000 to win four and six cylinder enduro.

Both goal keepers had six saves each. “The girls played a great team game with a lot of desire,” said Stewart. “They really wanted this game. I couldn’t be happier with their effort and attitude and with a little luck we would have won this game. Great effort and what can I say about Leslee, Jess, Danika and Lily other than wow.” The Huskies will travel to Lisbon to battle the Panthers.

photo of Balon’s truck with his cell phone. Balon sent out an email on Thursday protesting his arrest. He asserts that as an elected official he has the right to be on town property like the airport if he chooses.”...I am an official elected member of the Gorham NH Budget Committee and again have the right to be on any taxpayer owned land if I ‘choose’ to be on it in order to gain information to serve the people that elected me...” Balon wrote. He also claimed that he did not give any statements after being read his Miranda Rights, leaving just the word of his accuser as basis for any case against him. According to NH RSA 422:28 It is unlawful (XI.) For any person to operate any ground vehicle which is unrelated to aircraft operations or servicing, or airport operations and maintenance, within the boundaries of any public airport without the express consent of the airport manager.

I also spoke to Dwarf car racer Michel Dion out of Canada. He and two other cars came to our event last season. This year, he says a minimum of seven racers will be coming on the 15th to race.” The Frost Bite 250 will be in its sixth season in 2011. Four time winner, Luke Shannon, just confirmed his entry into the race. Shannon’s storied

For any person to enter the grounds of an airport posted against such entry in accordance with RSA 635 without the express consent of the airport manager. “Nobody’s allowed in that area,” Cyr said, noting it was for safety and security reasons that such regulations existed. Balon also took police to task for taking his shoes and shoelaces while he was held in a cell, un-cuffed, but neglecting to have him remove his belt. Cyr acknowledged that standard operating procedure had not been followed in that instance and the issue was being handled internally. He added that a minor lapse in SOP did not nullify the arrest. Balon was released on $500 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to answer the charge in Berlin District Court on Nov. 18. #13 ride may be history according to Shannon in a recent telephone interview. “I may be there in something different this year,” said Shannon. “The old car is a little tired and we may building something in the next week or two.” 2011 Cyclone champion Jason Wyman has entered the race and is a heavy favorite for the huge payday. Add into the fray several of the top Cyclone racers in Jeff Ainsworth, Dana Graham, Cole Kilby, Chris Ouellette, William Good, Travis Moulton, Jerrad Ainsworth, Cody LeBlanc and an always talented group of outsiders, and you have the makings of an awesome event.
