It was 6 a.m. on Friday, April 19, and Todd Selig had just woken up to go on an early run through Cambridge,

Mass. Selig, Durham’s town administra-tor, had been staying in Cambridge all week while he participated in a program through Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Executive Education.

As he laced up his sneakers, Selig

received a call from his wife. He told her he was about to leave the apartment he was staying in for the week to go for a run.

“Don’t you dare go anywhere!” Selig’s wife said in response. She then told her husband what he had been oblivious to all along: that the entire city of Boston was locked down as offi cials searched for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old wanted in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.

On Thursday night, as Dzhokhar and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, tried to evade law enforcement through the streets of Cambridge and Water-town, Selig and some of the people he met through the program ate dinner at the Harvard Faculty Club. Selig and his group then made the short trip down Memorial Drive to convene at the Mar-riott Courtyard Boston Cambridge hotel,

Sophomores Bryan Merrill and William McK-ernan were elected UNH student body president and vice president, respectively, with 46.52 percent of the total vote, which was announced on Friday in the Student Senate offi ce.

The pair was practically speechless upon the announcement of their win.

“I need to look in a dictionary and see if any words can describe this,” Merrill said.

Both students were overjoyed to have won, especially considering how long they have been working toward this goal.

“It makes the past two years of no sleep and no going out in order to do Senate work worth it,” McKernan said.

Merrill agreed, noting that their combined ex-perience has prepared them for the jobs that now lay ahead of them.

“We’ve put in the work,” Merrill said. “We’re ready for this.”

Taking second place in the election was Ugo-chukwu Uche and Jesse Arsenault with 27.73 per-cent of the votes. Uche and Arsenault both said that they believe that Merrill and McKernan will do a great job in offi ce.

Saturday Night Live’s Jay Pharoah performed his stand-up comedy act in the Granite State Room Saturday night, bringing with him his spot-on impersonations of Barack Obama, Will Smith, Denzel Washington and many others.

When Pharoah took the microphone from opener and national touring comedian Josh Sneed, the SNL star lit the stage with his fun-loving, upbeat stage presence: communicating excitedly with crowd members, holding conversations with them and even, at times, breaking into a rap with the au-dience. The theme from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was featured in Pharoah’s Will Smith impersonation, the majority of the crowd happily rapping along.

Being known for his ability to mimic a variety of voices on SNL, Pharoah’s impersonations were the highlight of his routine. Scattered about through the act, voices ranging from Matthew McConaughey to Dave

Chappelle made audience mem-bers both laugh and drop their jaws with amazement.

Sneed was blown away by how well Pharoah nails his im-pressions.

After the show, students walk-ing out of the show were still reel-ing from the impressions Pharoah did. For those who attended, one off-color Obama joke in particular stood out as one of the funniest moments of the night.

“All of it [was good],” UNH senior Lizzy Barker said. “I’m a political science major, so I liked the Obama impression a lot. It’s pretty good. I didn’t realize how good his impressions [are] … but he’s really good.”

“You could see him up there trying to recall these voices,” UNH sophomore Hannah Whalen said. “It’s pretty cool.”

Pharoah did a 20-minute meet and greet following his perfor-mance, taking pictures and sign-ing autographs. He acted down to earth and friendly with the UNH students, and at the end of the day agreed to go to T.G.I. Friday’s in Newington with members of Cam-pus Activity Board (CAB).

The UNH crowd received the opening acts very well, includ-ing the school’s own Scott Cava-naugh, a student who performs

regularly with the MUB’s Improv Anonymous. Cavanaugh had only done stand up one time before Sat-urday’s performance, but he capi-talized on his opportunity in front of his fellow students, Sneed and Pharoah.

Sneed said he was very im-pressed with Cavanaugh’s perfor-mance. If the young comic contin-ues down this path, Sneed believes he’ll have a bright future in com-edy.

“Scott was really fantastic. I was really surprised to fi nd out it was only his second time ever do-ing it,” Sneed said. “He seemed comfortable. He did material that made sense for him, like you could tell that it came from personal ex-perience, which for a lot of come-dians [takes] a long time to fi gure out that’s the kind of material you want to do, and he just seems to be ahead of the curb in a lot of differ-ent regards to doing standup.”

While Cavanaugh said he felt like he may have been too fast with his delivery, and he tended to speak very quickly, Sneed spoke about Cavanaugh’s composure as

though it was comparable to his own, acknowledging Cavanaugh’s style as having potential to be more than a rookie’s nerves.

“Scott had such an up tempo: talking very fast, constantly put-ting out words,” Sneed said. “And then I come up and try to take it down a notch, so it took a little set-tling in.”

Sneed, who jokingly intro-duced himself as “The second guy, as you’ll be calling me after the show is over,” also got plenty of laughs from the audience. Though not as well known as Pharoah, Sneed has opened for acts as big as Dave Chappelle and Louis CK, and his act held its own against the SNL star’s.

Pharoah’s appearance at UNH meant a lot to the members of CAB, furthering the legitimacy of what has been a strong group on campus with a growing following and presence.

“I think this further builds up what CAB can do,” Ian Henry, ad-vertising chairman of CAB, said. “This is a pretty big time that we have a celebrity well known like Jay Pharoah. It’s a huge boost for CAB, and people will come away from this know that we put on Jay Pharaoh and they hopefully will look to see more from us.”

I think this further builds up what CAB can do.”

“It will be a blessing working under them as we all move forward in efforts of saving students money and making UNH a more joyful ex-perience,” Arsenault said.

Uche also noted that even though they didn’t win, it’s still pos-sible for anyone to make change.

“You do not need to be a stu-dent body president to instill a change and we encourage every single student at the University of New Hampshire to voice their opin-ion and take action,” Uche said.

Stephen Prescott and Lizzy Barker came in third with 11.17 percent of the votes. Prescott said that he and Lizzy are disappointed that they didn’t win, but he knows that Merrill and McKernan will do a good job.

“I think that Bryan and Will

are both qualifi ed for the position. They both had good ideas during the campaign, and I look forward to working with them on issues going forward,” Prescott said.

The fourth and fi nal pair of can-didates on the ballot, Aseeb Niazi and Christopher Thornton, received 6.76 percent of the vote. Niazi said that he believes Merrill and McKer-nan will do great things for UNH.

“Bryan’s hard work and dedi-cation is unmatched, as is his open-ness and understanding of the stu-dent body as a whole, and the same goes for Will,” Niazi said.

Although he is happy for the winners, Niazi said that overall he wishes the election process was run differently.

“The process, as a whole, has many things to improve upon. There are too many discrepancies which create confusion that makes for a bumpy campaign trail,” Niazi said.

Although he did not comment on the election process, Thornton agrees with Niazi about the winners.

“I’m really happy for Bryan and Will. They’re two solid guys and I think they’re going to do great things in the coming year,” Thorn-ton said.

Although Niazi and Thornton may not have won the election this year, that does not mean they’re done trying. Thornton offered some words of friendly competition to-wards Merrill and McKernan.

“I just hope they’re ready to campaign even harder next year,” Thornton said.

There were also four write-in candidates, including Adam Hill and Alison VanDerHeyden, who had been removed from the ballot for multiple election violations. They received 7.02 percent of the vote, which put them at fourth overall. The other write-in candi-dates each received less than one percent of the vote.

Over the course of Wednesday and Thursday, 3,178 votes were cast, an increase of over 50 percent from last year’s election.

“It was a pretty dramatic in-crease and I’m very pleased with that,” Student Senate Speaker Lau-ren Scarlett said.

The winners, Merrill and McKernan, said that they are now looking forward to the upcoming year and wanted to thank the stu-dent body for choosing them. They said that they are not going to let anyone down.

“We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity and we’re not go-ing to betray this privilege,” Merrill said.

New Advanced Technology & Academic Center Opening in Rochester

By CATIE HALL STAFF WRITER

Newton, the three-legged Ber-nese Mountain Dog named after famous physicist Isaac Newton, has become the unoffi cial mascot of DeMerritt Hall. But by the end of the summer, Newton will not be around campus anymore.

On the UNH Confessions Facebook page, an anonymous per-son posted about Newton.

“Seeing the three-legged Ber-nese Mountain Dog outside of DeMerritt never fails to make my Tuesdays and Thursdays just a little better,” the post said. “I swear that’s the happiest dog I’ve ever seen, de-spite his tripod status.”

With over 120 “likes” on the Facebook post, Newton’s presence on campus is widely known and celebrated.

Camden Ertley, Newton’s owner, is a doctoral student study-ing astrophysics. By the end of the summer, Ertley will fi nish his doc-torate degree, meaning UNH’s be-loved Bernese will not be around anymore.

In August 2011, Ertley noticed Newton was limping. Newton’s right-front leg was swollen and warm to the touch.

Newton was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. Ertley said it is a type of bone cancer that left him with only one choice: amputation.

“It’s a nasty cancer, so there’s nothing you can do,” Ertley said. “You can amputate, but that’s really just pain management. It doesn’t extend life.”

Osteosarcoma can metastasize and spread throughout the body and lungs, Ertley said. Because of it’s spreading, doctors told Ertley that Newton would have six to eight months to live after the amputation.

“He actually just had his yearly check up on Monday [April 15], and they said he looked great,” Ertley said. He laughed. “They couldn’t believe he was still alive.”

Today, Newton is a happy four-year-old having outlived the doc-tor’s predictions.

With lots of hair, three legs and a dominantly white face, Newton stands out on campus.

Physically, Newton is small for his breed. Weighing 85 pounds, he is the size of a female Bernese. His eyes are dark, and he has long, shaggy hair swirling around his toes and legs.

“You know, I love his foot hair, I think it’s awesome,” Ertley said. “It’s just another one of those New-ton quirks, like the awesome leg hair on his back knees.”

Katie Makem-Boucher, admin-istrative manager of physics in De-Merritt, said that Newton is memo-rable. He spends most of the day in the physics department offi ce. With people in and out of DeMerritt all day, Newton interacts with anyone who will say hello.

“Newton knows more people on campus than I do,” Ertley said.

Even non-physics students fi nd their way into DeMerritt to see Newton.

“We have students who took a class in DeMerritt one semester and came into the offi ce for something and met Newton,” Makem-Boucher said. “And now they don’t have

classes in DeMerritt anymore, but they come back to visit him.”

Newton’s presence on campus is both pleasant and, to some stu-dents, inspiring.

“The fi rst time I saw him, I donned him ‘Inspiration Puppy,” said UNH sophomore Allison Sca-gel, who also posted to the UNH Confessions page on Facebook. “That’s what my friends and I call him because he’s just so happy. If he’s that happy after … cancer and having three legs, I always feel like I can do anything, hence ‘Inspira-tion Puppy.”

Originally from Ohio, Ert-ley chose a Bernese mountain dog when he came to the UNH physics graduate program. Ertley, an avid hiker, said he wanted that breed for companionship on the trails.

Newton ended up being too lazy for serious adventure.

“He’d be into [hiking] for a little bit,” Ertley said. “And then he’d be more interested in smell-ing stuff on the side, and wouldn’t really want to walk, so we usually took short hikes.”

Even with four legs, Ertley said Newton wasn’t easy to walk. Ertley laughed when he described all of Newton’s lazy attributes.

“Part of the reason I was look-ing for that breed was because I used to do a lot of backpacking,” Ertley said. “And so when I got him, I was like alright, he turned 1 1/2 years and you could start putting a backpack on him so he could start carrying his own stuff. I put that thing on him, and he wanted noth-ing to do [with] it. He just stood there and wouldn’t move.”

Newton’s lack of interest in physical activity has been a domi-nant force in his life. Ertley ex-plained that Newton’s laziness stretches to all terrain, not just hik-ing trails.

“He’s always been lazy. When he had four legs, I used to struggle walking him from A Lot to DeMer-ritt,” Ertley said. “For a typical dog, that’s an easy walk. By the end of it, he was like, ‘I’m done, I don’t want to do this anymore.’”

Newton’s laziness is perhaps a reason why so many people love him. His personality is conducive to his fame. Unlike some dogs, New-ton does not jump around to greet people. He lets people come to him.

Heather Gagnon, library asso-ciate in DeMerritt, said that Newton just wants to be loved. He loves at-tention.

“Camden was walking with [Newton] down here past the cof-fee cart and there was a tour group passing by,” Gagnon said. “A whole bunch of people stopped and were petting him and the tour had to keep going. … And as soon as they stopped petting him and started walking away, he started barking at them—not viciously but kind of like, ‘Come back! Come back!’”

Makem-Boucher also notices how people interact with Newton. In the four years that Newton has been around DeMerritt, only two or three people have been afraid of dogs. Because Newton does not

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

By BRIAN WARDStaff Writer

UNH has a goal to cut its greenhouse gas emissions 50 per-cent by 2020. As of this year the university says that it has officially decreased its greenhouse gas emis-sions by 26 percent since 2001.

With seven years left to halve the amount of emissions, many people think that the university will be able to reach its goal on time.

Sara Claves is the associate director of the Sustainability Insti-tute at UNH and says that the uni-versity should be able to reach its goal on time.

“Our Durham campus emis-sions were done about 26 percent compared to a 2001 baseline. That’s halfway there,” Cleaves said. “Now comes the hard part: figuring out what to do next to get us where we want to be in 2020.”

According to Cleaves, the university has taken a comprehen-sive approach to reducing green-house gases, such as the landfill gas project EcoLine and selling Renewable Energy Certificates to cover the cost of environmental projects. One of the methods used was the construction of a cogen-eration plant back in 2006.

UNH’s cogeneration plant

produces electrical power and then uses the heat made in the process to warm buildings.

According to UNH’s Sustain-ability Institute, the plant alone reduced greenhouse emissions 26 percent between 2005 and 2006.

Cleaves pointed out that one of the biggest challenges that sus-

tainability faces on campus is not things like insulated steam tun-nels and more efficient light bulbs, which UNH uses.

“Where we struggle is with human behavior: getting all of us to get to and from campus in ways other than driving on our own, turning off lights, not using space heaters in each office, buying and using only energy efficient appli-

ances and electronics, asking if we need to fly somewhere or if we could instead video conference,” Cleaves said. “Human values and behaviors are the wild cards.”

Cleaves says the university’s climate action plan is currently being updated by the Energy Task Force to meet its next step in its

emissions reduction. Cleaves said that she thinks UNH has the will to follow through on goal.

“[UNH’s goals] are aggres-sive and what we need to do to address the huge impacts of cli-mate change. Scientists all over the world have argued for goals like what UNH set as such tar-gets would be responsive to the massive changes we’ve caused

by altering our climate,” Cleaves said. “We followed their advice in setting our goals. In updating WildCAP, we’re also now going to make recommendations for UNH to consider implementing to not only cut emissions further but also to adapt, because our climate is al-ready changing.”

UNH is very active in its ef-forts to increase its sustainability. According to a study done by the Sustainable Endowments Institute, UNH was given an “A-“ rank-ing for its work in sustainability. Cleaves said that the UNH admin-istration has been very helpful in enabling projects and programs to drop greenhouse emissions.

In particular, she made men-

tion of President Mark Hud-dleston, who sits on the advisory committee of the American Col-lege and University Presidents Climate Commitment, and Paul Chamberlin, the associate vice president for facilities and chair-man of the Energy Task Force.

“When you work in sustain-ability, you become pretty good at collaborating with others to turn challenges into opportunities,” Cleaves said. “Like anything, we face the hurdle of limited funding and time to do everything.

“But I have to say that UNH really gets the importance of ad-dressing climate change and con-serving energy, so it’s not hard to bring people together to make that a priority, at least when it comes to operational policies and best prac-tices.”

According to Cleaves, UNH is committed to be a model com-munity that made addressing the issue of climate change even more important.

“I think if UNH, the least funded public university in the country, can make the commit-ment to invest upfront in a huge project like the landfill gas pipe-line, knowing it’ll save us money and emissions long-term, then oth-ers can do the same,” Cleaves said.

UNH greenhouse gas emissions cut for first time in decade

[UNH’s goals] are aggressive and what we need to do to address the huge impacts of climate change. Scientists all over the world have argued for goals like what UNH set as such targets would be responsive to the massive changes we’ve caused by altering our climate.”

Bark a lot and does not jump to greet people, Makem-Boucher said Newton has not been a problem.

“When he first started coming in, we had a professor who was a little wary,” Makem-Boucher said. “Now he comes in to pet him.”

Most people in the physics department do not mind having Newton around. Even physics pro-fessors, stereotypically serious and intimidating, like to play with him.

“You think of these phys-ics professors as these big scary people because they have a Ph.D. in physics,” Makem-Boucher said. “And we have a couple that just get right down on the floor with him and pet him and rub his belly.”

By the end of the interview, Laboratory Manager Dr. Michael Briggs came into the office. Dog tags were jingling as he bent down to pet Newton. Makem-Boucher projected her voice, asking him if he had anything to say about New-ton for the paper.

“Uh, Newton’s awesome!” Briggs said in a cheery voice.

The Bernese set the stage for other DeMerritt mascots, as well. Ginger, Clover, and Evie are also regulars around the physics build-ing, according to Gagnon.

Though Newton’s presence has inspired people to bring dogs to campus, inspiration takes differ-ent forms.

Brian Taetzsch, UNH fresh-man, posted to UNH Confessions about his future ambitions.

“One of my motivations for staying a physics student is so I can bring my future dog to DeMer-ritt,” Taetzsch said.

where they stayed for about an hour, from 10 to 11 p.m.

About a mile from the hotel, on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology main campus, MIT police officer Sean Collier was killed in a shooting allegedly car-ried out by the Tsarnaev brothers at approximately 10:30 p.m. Authori-ties say the brothers then carjacked a black Mercedes SUV near the MIT campus and made the operator of the SUV drive to a Shell gas station on Memorial Drive, where they left him.

That Shell gas station is about 500 yards up the road from the Marriott hotel where Selig and his acquaintances were relaxing. Selig and his group began walking back from the hotel to the apartments that they were staying at on the Harvard campus just before 11 p.m. – approximately the same time that the Tsarnaevs reportedly stole the SUV.

Selig did not notice any-thing out of the ordinary on the walk home, however, and he was unaware of the events that had just unfolded in Cambridge.

“We heard sirens but they didn’t mean anything to us be-cause it’s a city and you hear that sometimes,” Selig said in a phone interview on Monday.

Selig got back to his apartment without incident and was asleep before midnight. His wife filled him in on the details of the night’s events early on Friday morning. She told him how the bombing suspects had gotten in a shootout with police in Watertown, how they had thrown improvised explosive devices at the law enforcement pursuing them, how Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been killed, while Dzhokhar was still on the loose. Officials were asking residents throughout Boston, Watertown and Cambridge to remain indoors on Friday while they searched for the younger Tzarnaev.

A Harvard University staff member came to Selig’s apart-ment early on Friday morning, telling him and his roommates that they should remain indoors. They were told not to open their door for anyone besides someone they personally recognized or a law enforcement official. For Selig, the severity of the situation quickly became apparent.

“It was very sobering, and it was just scary,” he said. “It wasn’t only that they had weapons; they had explosives that could be very damaging to people and infrastruc-ture.”

Wary of the firepower the sus-pects could be carrying, Selig made sure not to sit near any windows on his ground floor apartment.

When Harvard staff came to the apartment, he made sure to con-firm their identities before opening the door.

Confined to the apartment, Selig said he heard a constant stream of police sirens all morn-ing, from sunrise through noon. Harvard had provided Selig’s class with food all week long, but there was no way to get anything to eat with the lockdown in place. They

only had water from the apartment tap and any food they might’ve brought themselves.

“Fortunately I had a bag of Trader Joe’s beef jerky and some airplane peanuts from a prior trip I had taken,” Selig said. “So that’s what I ate all day.”

Selig was supposed to take the 5 p.m. Downeaster train back to Durham on Friday, but Amtrak suspended its service to and from Boston because of the lockdown. Selig’s wife said she would pick him up, but Harvard was not allow-ing any vehicles on or off campus at the time. Durham Police Chief David Kurz even offered to come and get Selig.

At about 1 p.m., Selig found out that C&J Trailways was still running buses from Logan Airport to Portsmouth, N.H. Realizing that this was his best chance to get back to New Hampshire, he quickly packed up, left the Harvard apartment and took a cab through Boston’s deserted streets.

“I think it was probably the fastest trip from Cambridge to Lo-gan in history,” Selig said. “It was very interesting.”

The normally bustling Logan Airport was quiet and tense, Selig said, as there were fewer outgoing travelers and an increased security presence. State police patrolled the waiting areas, while officials in blue windbreakers scanned the faces of everyone who walked by, making sure the suspect wasn’t attempting to sneak his way onto a plane.

Selig got on his bus without any trouble and arrived in Ports-mouth early on Friday evening. He returned home to his wife and chil-dren, happy to be out of what he described as a “harrowing” experi-ence. After tucking their two young daughters into bed, Selig and his wife watched the news coverage of the search for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. When he was caught in a boat in the backyard of a Watertown resi-dence late on Friday night, Selig could finally exhale.

“It was just a real sense of relief and closure,” he said.

Tsarnaev was taken to Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center in Boston with multiple gunshot wounds. He was charged by a federal court on Monday of using a weapon of mass destruction, which could mean the death penalty for the 19-year-old, according to the Associated Press. Officials believe the Tsarnaevs may have carried out the bombings in the name of radical Islam, although they are not believed to be affiliated with any Muslim extremist groups. Dzhokhar remains in the hospital in serious but stable condition.

Selig, meanwhile, reflected on the program he participated in last week at Harvard. The course was titled, “Mastering Negotia-tion: Building Agreement Across Boundaries.” Leaders came from around the world to take part in the program.

“It was ironic in a way be-cause as we were learning to do a better job finding agreements and building bridges, we had a couple terrorists who were tearing bridges down and causing destruction,” Selig said. “That was truly the irony that wasn’t lost on us.”

The UNH honors program held “20/20 Night” in the MUB Entertainment Center last Thurs-day, April 18, in which six faculty members presented their areas of research through the format of 20 PowerPoint slides; each slide only allowing 20 seconds of speaking time before the next slide automat-ically updated.

The event aimed to showcase the different kinds of research fac-ulty members are conducting at UNH in a quick and catchy pre-sentation style, one that Katherine Gaudet, assistant director of the UNH honors program, hopes to make an annual event.

The unique concept was bor-rowed from “Pecha Kucha Night,” which was first invented by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of ‘Klein Dytham Architecture’ in 2003 as a means of presenting creative proj-ects while confining the inherent talkativeness of creative persons to twenty seconds a slide.

According to pechakucha.org, the format was invented simply be-cause “architects talk too much!”

“I’ve been to a lot of aca-demic conferences and it is hard to stay interested,” Gaudet wrote in an email expressing the mo-tives behind adopting the 20/20 format. “People who are experts tend to have trouble reining it in when talking about the subjects they know so much about. …The 20/20 format has automated slides, so the speaker has to keep moving to keep up with them.”

Most faculty members fum-bled hastily with the format at first; slides would rudely progress in mid-sentence, forcing the pre-senter to make the snap decision of finishing the sentence or just moving on.

But by slide five, everyone seemed to get it and presentations rolled off with the almost-too-fast clip of a good magic show.

The presentations ranged from “Why Hockey is the Coolest Game – To Study,” presented by Stephen Hardy, which attempted to trace the origins of the sport and its permutations through his-tory, to “Our Environment, Our Health,” which outlined a study conducted by UNH professor Gale Carey concerning flame retardants found in our environment and its detriments.

The event offered attendees widely disparate topics to sink their teeth into.

“21st Century Abolition: Imagining a World Without Pris-ons” was presented by Courtney Marshall, assistant professor of English and women’s studies, and drew many questions from the audience concerning her affirma-tion that the prison system in the United States is broken.

One particularly revealing slide showed the façade of several social institutions (schools, gov-ernment offices, homes, etc.) with chained-shut doors, save one pris-on door that was wide open.

This slide was emblematic of Marshall’s thesis that our nation

filters children into prison by of-fering them no alternatives.

“Today we can imagine a world without slavery,” Marshall said of how civil issues always seem so obvious and cruel given hindsight, and then extended the analysis with the question: “Can we imagine a world without pris-ons?”

The 20/20 format engendered a judicious presentation of the most essential and interesting material in each faculty members’ field of research, making it difficult to lose interest as the fast pace demanded the audience’s attention.

“It forces a high ratio of im-ages to concepts,” Gaudet said of the successes of the format.

Jessica Bolker, associate di-rector of Shoals Marine Labora-tory and associate professor of zoology, presented “Bridging Phi-losophy and Biology.”

Giving an enthusiastic and informative presentation, Bolker did, however, abandoned the 20/20 format as she found it incongruous with her presentation material.

“I have great admiration for my colleagues’ willingness to do the 20/20 thing, but I’m a chick-en,” Bolker said before her presen-tation.

Bolkner continued to outline what she observed as a proverbial gap between philosophy and biol-ogy caused by a failure of “trans-lation” in the sense that scientists struggle to find application with their research.

If biologists could foster tighter communications with the philosopher, then perhaps 90 per-cent of all new drug candidates would not fail between basic re-search and clinical research or, what Bolkner calls this gap, “the valley of death.”

“My current project is how to invite biologists and philosophers to cross the bridge and meet,” Bolkner said.

Ending the 20/20 event with this aspiration was apt, in that, the primary purpose of the event was to get students acquainted with faculty members, start a dialogue and move forward on these issues raised, together.

UNH’s Undergraduate Re-search Conference continues this week with many students present-ing their findings in subjects rang-ing from the arts to engineering.

Nathan Marzoli, a senior his-tory major, will be presenting his research on how New Hampshire soldiers viewed slavery during the Civil War by using the letters and diaries they wrote.

“Because slavery was abol-ished in this country at the conclu-sion of the Civil War, we tend to remember the war as simply being fought to free the slaves,” Marzoli said. “However, the Union Army was made up of thousands of indi-viduals, each with different opin-ions about the issue and why they were fighting.”

Marzoli explained that he chose New Hampshire soldiers because he had previously studied Civil War units from the state and decided to continue with it.

“I wanted to look at how New

Hampshire soldiers viewed the institution of slavery as they en-countered it for the first time in the hopes of getting a more intimate look at the Civil War,” he said.

The research for this presenta-tion brought Marzoli to the Milne Special Collections in Dimond Li-brary, which contains, according to their website, “both published and original source materials, par-ticularly those related to the state of New Hampshire.”

He also found more local ex-amples in the Dover Public Library.

“I looked through an incredi-ble amount of letters and diaries, al-though my research tended to focus on a few large collections,” Marzoli said. “It could be daunting at times, especially when attempting to read the handwriting of soldiers.”

The best example of a let-ter he saw was a letter from John Henry Jenks, a 40-year-old New Hampshire soldier who wrote about slavery to his wife in Keene.

“Jenks told his wife about his first experiences with slaves and explained how independent they

could be,” Marzoli said. “Jenks asked, ‘Don’t you think such men can take care of themselves?’ Jen-ks was somewhat of an anomaly, but clearly ahead of his time.”

While Marzoli did not see any particular trends among the sol-diers as to who was more racist, he did notice education may have been a factor.

“More officers tended to be abolitionist because of their edu-cation; most of the soldiers were racist,” Marzoli said. “At that time, blacks were considered inferior to whites, and most men saw nothing wrong with that.”

“Unfortunately, all the infor-mation that I have collected will not fit into my entire presentation,” he said. “However, I will present on some of the men’s views that I felt were most important. It will be about a 10 minute presentation, where I will show some pictures of the primary sources.”

Marzoli will be presenting his findings Thursday, April 25, in MUB 338 starting at 12:40 p.m.

A proposal before legisla-tors in Concord to push closing time back for New Hampshire watering holes is gaining less than supportive feedback locally. The bill passed the N.H. House

of Representatives in March and will soon go before the Senate. One of the more common questions heard from patrons regrinding the hour change from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. is simply, “why?”

Whitney Sibberblatt, bartender at Blue Latitudes, said that’s one of the comments she’s heard from visi-

tors at the restaurant where a typical weekend night winds down at about 11 p.m. or shortly thereafter.

“It’s late for a small town like Dover,” she said of a pro-posed 2 a.m. closing hour. Sibberblatt said there really haven’t been many people even asking about the proposal.

Farther down the street on the corner of Central Avenue and Wash-ington Street, Barley Pub owner Scott Mason maintains that nothing good happens after 1 a.m. and that’s why his establishment won’t take part in later hours even if the bill passes.

“It might be nice to be able to but it’s never held us back from be-ing successful,” he said.

Pub office and events man-ager Martha Mason, his sister, said staff have talked about the propos-al and decided Mason’s sentiment was the best approach for the bar.

She said though a few cus-tomers have inquired about the proposal, there haven’t been any who were upset that the Barley Pub wouldn’t be taking part in it. Bar manager Russ Graham said staffers are careful about not over-serving patrons and he doesn’t think many people would want to be out drinking that late anyway.

“I can’t see there being a lot of support for it,” Graham said. Over-serving is one of the con-cerns of local law enforcement. Dover Police Chief Anthony Co-larusso said it isn’t the hour that’s of major concern with the pro-posal.

It is that there would be more poor judgment at that hour and a later closing time will just push current problems, including fights and impaired driving, to a later time.

“The current closing time is appropriate,” he said. It would also force the department to adjust their shifts, costing more money.

In Durham, where about 14,000 residents are university stu-dents, the situation is kind of unique, Chief of Police David Kurz said. He currently puts four extra officers on duty to cover closing hours, and

those officers are all on overtime. While it may present an economic opportunity for businesses, Kurz has spoken out against the proposal

in Concord.He said about 25 percent of the

population attending the University of New Hampshire is of legal drink-ing age. What happens, though, is that those students not of legal drinking age imbibe at private resi-dences and meet friends after clos-ing time, bringing additional people into downtown.

“This is where it becomes somewhat tricky with us,” he said, noting the additional police pres-ence that would be necessary in the town at a later hour to keep problems from increasing expo-nentially.

Currently, he said, officers are able to mitigate any issues or make prompt arrests when necessary. Kurz said there is currently an amendment to the bill that would allow communities to opt out of al-lowing a later closing time.

Some patrons said they would want to stay out later if allowed to, while others really didn’t see the point.

“I don’t know, I’m pretty tired way earlier than that,” McKen-zie Donalee, a University of New Hampshire student, said.

She said though she and her friends love going out, it’s usually a good idea to get home at a rea-sonable time before things have the potential to get unruly with alcohol involved.

“I’ve been downtown when everyone’s heading out of the bars

and really intoxicated and it’s a little overwhelming,” she said. “It’s cra-zy sometimes.”

“I wouldn’t stay out that late,”

Daniel McInnis, a UNH student, said.

But if the night still feels young and revelers aren’t quite ready to retire for the evening, having the option to stay out longer would be ideal, some said.

“I’d definitely stay out. I love it,” Jerry Neilson, Durham resident, said.

“You go out with friends and all of a sudden the lights turn on at last call and it’s a real buzzkill if you’re out having fun,” he said.

In Dover, where a number of bars close before the law requires, patrons said they realize later hours and more alcohol served means more liability for an owner.

“Having someone get behind the wheel or some altercation in the streets is nothing they want to deal with,” resident Anne Keith said.

For Dover, she said, the later hour wouldn’t fit the city.

“People like to enjoy a night out here responsibly,” she said.

“I don’t get why you’d want to stay out that late anyway,” Hannah Jennison said. Though she said a lot of her friends might take advantage of a later last-call, she personally wouldn’t want to.

Kurz said there are 46 states that have closing hours at 2 a.m., with Vermont and Massachusetts among them.

“Just because someone else does it doesn’t mean that New Hampshire does,” he said.

STAFF REPORTFoster’s DAILY DeMoCrAt

More than six decades after he helped to liberate the French people from the grip of fascism, retired Col. Raymond Restani received the praise of a grateful nation in a cer-emony in Durham Friday.

With two generations of fam-ily members watching, Restani was awarded the French Legion of Honor award during a ceremony at Emeritus at Spruce Wood, an assisted living community. The award was bestowed by French President François Hollande, and presented by Fabien Fieschi, con-sul general of France in Boston. Restani enlisted in the Coast Artil-lery Corps in 1940 and went to war, fighting mostly in France and Ger-many.

He arrived in Marseille, France, on Dec. 8, 1944, and moved to camp Oberhofen near Sarreguemines and then to the Colmar area on Jan. 1, 1945. He was promoted to captain that year, and fought in the Battle of Jebsheim. He helped to capture a hill held by German forces, and was later wounded in action at Siegfried Line in Germany.

“Despite constant exposure to danger, you and your fellow soldiers showed extraordinary bravery and courage in France,” Fieschi said.

After being delayed briefly by the public safety emergency in Bos-ton and Cambridge, Mass., Fieschi arrived in Durham shortly after 4 p.m. He recounted Restani’s actions in combat, and then presented an official commendation, speaking in French, before pinning the medal on Restani’s lapel. Fieschi said Res-

tani’s actions serve as an example for those engaged in the fight for freedom around the world today.

“Your service reminds us of the decisive role played by Americans in World War II,” he said.

Restani was previously award-ed the 254th Infantry Regiment Battle Honors, the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit, the Oak Leaf Cluster, the Presi-dential Unit Citation and the Army Commendation Medal (Third Oak Leaf Cluster).

After the war, Restani contin-ued serving in the Army and was stationed in San Francisco. During the Korean War, he was stationed in Alaska as a battalion commander.

The remainder of his career in the Army was spent in Brussels, South Vietnam, Korea and Ger-many. Restani retired in 1972 and moved to Durham, where he got his master’s degree at the University of New Hampshire.

He then began a career of writ-ing books on the history of small

towns in New England. While in Germany, he met and

married Uta, his wife for more than 50 years.

They have three children and two grandchildren.

In attendance for Friday’s cere-mony were his wife, his two daugh-ters, Yvonne Restani and Yvette Adonailo; his son, Marco Restani; and two grandsons, Evan and Todd Adonailo.

In brief remarks, Restani thanked Fieschi for awarding him with the distinction, and recalled his memory of hunkering down during the cold nights in France.

“Thank you very much,” he said, prompting applause from friends in the audience.

Information from Emeritus at Spruce Wood was used in this re-port.

From the start, Chris Mey-er, age 40, was aware of how infl uential rising oil prices were going to be on the housing and commercial real estate markets.

By the mid-2000s, he de-cided to start educating himself on how to make their properties more effi cient.

The result of years of re-search led to the inception of Yankee Thermal Imaging in 2008, with the goal of providing the most advanced, reliable and cost-effective residential and commercial energy audits.

Today, Meyer heads a com-pany that is trying to redefi ne the way we look at effi ciency.

Before, people mostly con-cerned themselves with such things as when to replace the win-dows and roof, while they paid relatively little attention to the “envelope” of the building or im-portant issues such as insulation and foundational cracks.

YTI uses a high-tech ap-proach called “thermal imaging” with cameras, “smoke pens” and blower door tests – which help calculate the rate of heat loss in a given space – being its go-to tools.

By helping tenants better understand how their energy us-age is being compromised, YTI helps them save time and money on their monthly bills.

A few years back, YTI started working with local cit-ies and towns on a unique ef-fi ciency program, which works somewhat like a credit plan.

Instead of having the towns pay for the building retrofi ts up front, YTI invests the money and then receives payments dur-ing each billing cycle.

Doing so can potentially help save some cities tens of thousands of dollars a year and also create a greener environ-ment for all of their inhabitants.

AS: What do you like most about your job?

CM: I really like the idea that we are helping people save money, especially during such a tough economic time as we have experienced since 2008.

Most of our clients really understand and value the capital improvements we specialize in, and the cost savings captured as a result often times have a substan-tial impact on their family or busi-ness budgets.

AS: Where did you go to college? Does your college education help with your cur-

rent job? What skills from col-lege most prepared you for the work you do now?

CM: UNH. In looking back I really see my time management and attention to detail as skills or attributes I refi ned in college.

Specifi cally, I don’t draw on my fi eld of study, but the overall experience certainly contributed positively to my business devel-opment.

AS: What do you look for in an employee in this fi eld?

CM: We have a very diverse workplace, as the skill-sets vary greatly between positions.

The one common threat we look for in an employee is their eagerness to learn, develop within a team environment and foster strong client relationships.

AS: What made you inte-grate sustainability into your business/go into a green in-dustry?

CM: I saw a void in our in-dustry for these services and rec-ognized the need for providing commercial and residential build-ing owners with cost-effective energy management plans and the ability to implement these plans while maximizing the return on their capital investment.

Our clients want to feel good about reducing their energy con-sumption, but it needs to be done in a fi nancially advantageous way.

AS: What are you most proud of in your business as relates to sustainability?

CM: We feel as though we are constantly getting better and improving the services we offer our clients.

The more effective we are at reaching those clients that need or services the most, the greater our impact on the environment.

Many of our strongest cus-tomers were unaware of how inef-fi cient their home or commercial buildings were; we have seen a signifi cant increase in awareness and a general buzz surrounding energy assessments and the fol-low up implementation.

Do You Know

DOWNTOWN DURHAM?

By KEN JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

Early in the morning on Jan. 20, 1905 the St. John’s Express thun-dered through Durham. The train was running over an hour late and fl ying through campus at 50 mph. The train hit a broken rail causing four cars to derail and injuring at least 20 people.

This accident happened in the area where Kingsbury Hall now stands. This event, coupled with B&M Railroad’s plan to double track – or have one track for each direction – the railroad in the fall of the same year, lead to a change in the location of the railroad in Durham. The original train tracks cut through campus, where the great lawn now is. The original train station, built in 1841, was also located on the great lawn now.

In 1912, the tracks were moved to the western edge of campus, where they now stand, and a train station was moved from Lynn, Mass. to service the new tracks. That sta-tion is the current home of The Dairy Bar. The original station was moved by the intersection of Main Street and Mill Road and became Rundett’s Store and eventually The Pizza Den and stood in the area now occupied by Libby’s Bar & Grill and Scorpi-ons Bar and Grill. It is this portion of history at UNH that the students enrolled in “The Lost Campus: The Archeology of UNH” are trying to uncover. “The Lost Campus” was created by Meghan Howey, profes-sor of anthropology, who is currently on family leave. Adjunct instructor Craig Brown is fi lling in for her.

Brown said Howey created the course because UNH associates it-self with sustainability and Howey saw cultural sustainability in the past.

“There is a long history here at UNH,” Brown said. “There is even a history before UNH came here.”

Last year “The Lost Campus” archeological site was the house of Charles Holmes Pettee and an in-dependent study archaeological site was the World War I barracks outside the MUB. This semester students came up with three potential sites and did research into all of them.

The 1841 train station site was

chosen and the class did shovel tests. In shovel tests, as done in New Eng-land, a grid is laid out and 1 1/2 me-ter square holes dug in the ground.

The dirt removed is run through a screen to see what artifacts are present. The number of artifacts can help determine whether a site is in-tact.

“They were all productive so we decided to investigate it with a full scale excavation,” Brown said.

There are 18 students in the class and the students spent the fi rst portion of the semester, up until spring break, doing research on the sites, mostly in special collections in the library. Then, since spring break, the students have been doing the excavation. The students spend two hours every Thursday on the site. There are two sites that the class is excavating: the hypothetical location of the train station and the hypotheti-cal location of a shed. The station was level construction, meaning that the street, platform and tracks were all at the same level.

Josh Beaucher, teaching assis-tant for the class and senior anthro-pology major, is in charge of the shed site and Kelsie Stevens, an-other teaching assistant for the class and senior anthropology major, is in charge of the station site. The stu-dents work the ground with trowels, paintbrushes and dustpans and run the dirt collected through screens. Possible artifacts are placed in paper bags, with markings showing where they were found. The shed site has unearthed full bricks and a piece of a clay pipe, which can be used to date the site, along with coal, railroad spikes and mortar.

“Interestingly there is a lot of pottery as well, which I didn’t expect to fi nd there,” Beaucher said.

Sam Grainger and Annmarie Pinard are removing dirt from the holes at the shed site. Grainger, a sophomore, has been working on the shed site and took the class be-cause he loved digging as a child and thought archeology would be a fun class.

“Defi nitely lived up to the ex-pectation, I would actually say it’s exceeded the expectation,” Grainger said.

Pinard, a freshman, was looking for a historical perspectives course

and this one stood out. Pinard said that as a child she saw archeologists on television and that it would be in-teresting to learn about what they do.

“It’s so cool what is underneath our feet,” Pinard said.

Sarah Van Beaver and Alan Jones are running dirt through a screen to look for artifacts at the shed site. So far, Jones has liked the shards of glass bottles and piece of clay pipe that were found.

“As opposed to pieces of build-ing materials and bricks and things like that, they were direct evidence of pieces of people’s things,” Jones said. The train station site has un-earthed glass, brick, coal, nails and a different texture from the soil where the building once stood.

“We have already found what we were hoping to fi nd, the train sta-tion,” Brown said.

The evidence of the building was found about 10 centimeters down. Brown said he expected a lot of topsoil.

“I didn’t expect the station to be here at all,” Brown said.

The great lawn has been heavily manicured over the years, has seen heavy construction and had cables run through it.

“I would have thought it would have been severely impacted, but in fact its not,” Brown said. “It’s what you’d expect to fi nd if a site had been simply abandoned.”

The artifacts that are found are bagged and go to the lab in Hud-dleston Hall. At the end of the exca-vation they will be cleaned, the met-als will be dry brushed and ceramics washed with a toothbrush.

The class is going to be holding a Community Archeology Day on April 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is invited to the great lawn to see the excavation.

The event is informal and the students will be talking with the pub-lic. Everyone who comes can dig at the site and ask questions of the stu-dents.

“They can come out a minute or they can come out for the whole day if they want,” Brown said.

Artifacts will be cleaned and on display. Community Archeology Day is free to the public. The rain date for the event is May 4, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

AssociAted Press

CONCORD—Political col-leagues of the late Republican U.S. Sen. Warren Rudman recalled his bluntness, passion for justice and leadership at a program that marked the public opening of a center named for him at the Uni-versity of New Hampshire School of Law.

The Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership and Public Policy at UNH is named for Rudman, who died in 2012. The center aims to promote lead-ership skills in its students and instill a commitment to justice.

“Warren represented the finest ideals of public service. He placed national purpose above political expediency,” said former Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine.

Former Republican New Hampshire Gov. Steve Merrill called Rudman “principled, fear-less and bipartisan.”

“I liked that he not only worked with both sides of the aisle, he fought with both sides of the aisle,” said Merrill.

The dinner kicked-off the center’s one-day conference featuring a long list of politicians and policy makers, including Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., former Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., and former Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. Called, “The Federal Budget and the Law: Finding a Way For-ward,” the conference will feature sessions on promoting fiscally re-sponsible policy and encouraging bipartisanship, two of Rudman’s political missions.

Snowe was an honoree Sun-day night, the recipient of the War-ren Rudman Award. It is intended by the School of Law to be an annual honor to those who reflect Rudman’s values.

Rudman, known for his bi-partisanship, was praised by poli-ticians from both parties —from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was the evening’s keynote speaker.

“Warren Rudman was gruff, irascible, dissatisfied, blunt, impatient, occasionally profane, in-dependent minded, stubborn —my ideal senator, who possessed all the essential attributes of an irresistible personality,” said McCain.

McCain recalled his friend-ship with Rudman, which was strengthened when Rudman agreed to help McCain during his 2000 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. He said Rudman advised him to speak honestly to the voters of New Hampshire.

Rudman had immense integ-rity, McCain said, and never put friendship above seeking justice.

Rudman served New Hamp-shire in the U.S. Senate for two terms and earned a reputation as a leader and a fiscal conserva-tive. He co-sponsored bills which sought to force the government to reduce spending and joined with the late Paul E. Tsongas, a Mas-sachusetts Democrat, to form the Concord Coalition in the 1990s, a group dedicated to educating the public on the budget deficit and finding a bipartisan solution to increasing debt.

HAMPTON —Sea stars and scallops, barnacles and baleen are among those competing to move into a prime bit of real estate at Hampton Beach State Park.

Besides a new performance stage, bathhouses, boardwalks and meeting spaces, the $14.5 million beach redevelopment project, com-pleted last year, also included a small retail store selling New Hampshire-branded goods. But it wasn’t much of a money maker, so the state is seeking new tenants to take over the space.

The change is part of a larger ef-fort to generate money for the state’s struggling park system, the only one in the nation that relies solely on user fees to cover its operating costs.

“We have high expectations around generating revenue, and we have high expectations around qual-ity of service,” said Philip Bryce, di-rector of the Division of Parks and Recreation.

Businesses or organiza-tions interested in occupying the 430-square-foot space have until April 29 to submit proposals, which will be evaluated based on three main criteria: the strength of their operating plans, the expected rev-enue and the vendors’ past experi-ences. Applicants will present their plans to state officials in person May 2, and a decision will be made May 6. The goal is to have a contract ready for the governor’s Executive Council to approve on June 5, in time for the busy summer season.

Those interested in submit-ting bids also were required to at-

tend one of two tours of the prop-erty. The first tour, held Thursday, attracted two organizations with similar visions: Explore the Ocean World and Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation.

The former is an educational program run by Ellen Goethel of Hampton, who brings interesting marine life found by her commer-cial fisherman husband to schools in New Hampshire and surrounding states.

“This is something she’s wanted to do for a long time,” David Goeth-el said Thursday. “Hampton Beach needs more child friendly activities, and if you want to make it a family beach, you need reasons for families to come here. Any of these programs that are geared toward teaching kids —and, by extension, their parents —about the importance of the marine aquasystem seems like a natural fit.”

The nonprofit Blue Ocean So-ciety operates a marine life “touch tank” in Portsmouth, hosts educa-tional summer programs for kids and organizes regular beach cleanup ses-sions. Volunteer Coordinator Nancy Anderson said she would love the chance to bring all of that right to the beach.

“I think it will bring our mis-sion to light to a lot more people,” she said. “I grew up in this area, and to see Hampton evolve to thinking about something like we’re doing is really huge. ... To see Hampton revitalize like this is really a gift to tourists, and it gives them edu-cational, healthy activities for kids and adults.”

Both had numerous questions about the space, including what kind of backup electricity system would

be in place during a power failure.“When the power dies, so do

the critters,” Goethel said.The details will come later, but

the state plans to both charge rent and collect a percentage of the prof-its generated by the site, Bryce said. The contract would run for three years and could be awarded to either a seasonal or year-round entity, he said.

“The state’s been trying to take the lead in extending the season out there, so if they came forward with that option, we’d certainly be willing to entertain that.”

Hampton Beach, along New Hampshire’s 17-mile coastline, at-tracts about 1.8 million visitors who spend $175 million a year, according to an economic study completed in 2008 as the redevelopment project began.

More than half come in the summer, swelling the small town’s population, and the recent improve-ments are expected to increase the total visitation by 15 percent and spending by 20 percent within 10 years.

B.J. Noel, president of the Hampton Area Chamber of Com-merce, said he thinks an education-al organization would be a good tenant because he doesn’t want to see a retail outlet that would direct-ly compete with nearby businesses, which include an arcade, theater, beach apparel and trinket shops and a row of takeout food shops sell-ing pizza, Italian sausage and fried dough.

Nearly all were still closed for the season Thursday, except for the Coffee Cann Cafe directly across from the empty retail space.

DENVER —Denver police Monday said they have learned the identity of a suspect seen on a YouTube video of people leaving a shooting at a marijuana celebration that wounded two people and scat-tered a crowd of thousands.

The man is shown walking away from the shooting scene as si-rens wail in the background, Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.

The suspect is a described as an accomplice to the primary, unidenti-fi ed suspect in the shooting who was wearing a blue hat, grey sweatshirt and black pants.

“We’ve identifi ed the man. We’re not releasing his name be-cause he’s not in custody yet,” Jack-son said.

Saturday’s shooting happened at the end of an outdoor celebra-tion of the fi rst 4/20 counterculture holiday since Colorado legalized

marijuana. A man and a woman suf-fered non-life threatening gunshot wounds. A juvenile grazed by a bul-let was treated at a nearby hospital, police said.

The police gang unit has taken over the investigation, although it isn’t yet clear if gangs were in-volved, Jackson said.

As was the case in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, Denver police asked those at the ral-ly to share anything they may have seen, photographed or recorded at the event.

“When gunfi re happens people run away. Now that things have calmed down, we would like them to come back and talk to us,” Jackson said.

The jovial scene at the down-town Civic Center Park turned to panic when the shots were heard. Several thought fi recrackers were be-ing set off, then saw a man bleeding.

NEW YORK —Nike Inc. says it has pulled from the market T-shirts emblazoned with the words “Boston Massacre” in the aftermath of last week’s bombing during the Boston Marathon that killed three people and left dozens injured.

The athletic company, based in Portland, Ore., said Monday that it took immediate action last week

to remove the products. The shirts were sold primarily at its factory store outlets.

“We conducted this process as quickly as possible and are confi -dent the product has been removed from distribution,” Nike spokes-woman Mary Remuzzi said in a statement emailed to The Associ-ated Press.

CLARKSVILLE, Mo. —Her Missouri hamlet soon to celebrate its 200th birthday, Mayor Jo Anne Smiley embraces Clarksville’s per-ilous place along the Mississippi River, never mind that the waters again threaten to wipe it and its potpourri of specialty shops off the map.

In places like Clarksville and the Illinois town of Grafton just across the river, it’s always been the clear views of the Mississippi drawing the tourists, unobstructed by a permanent levee. But that’s left both communities north of St. Louis vulnerable.

By Monday, the rain-swollen river strained a hastily erected makeshift fl oodwall in Clarksville, creating two trouble spots that vol-unteers were scrambling to patch —as well as build a second sandbag

wall to catch any water weaseling through.

But though the Mighty Missis-sippi is starting to recede, another batch of heavy rain threatens to push it back up. A swath from Okla-homa through Michigan is forecast to get an inch of rain —and some places twice that —through Tues-day. The National Weather Service said river levels could rise again, perhaps even a few inches higher than weekend crests.

Last week’s downpours brought on sudden fl ooding throughout the Midwest, and high water is blamed for at least three deaths. A woman last seen stranded along a fl ooded bridge was missing in Illinois, and a boy was in critical condition after being pulled from a river in Missouri.

Flooding along the Missis-sippi doesn’t have the impact today that it had during the Great Flood of 1993. Since then, thousands of homes have been bought out, so the fl ood plain in many places is largely green space. Other places have built better fl ood walls and levees.

But in fl ood-prone Clarksville, putting up permanent protection against the river is a non-starter, partly because it could cost millions of dollars the 442-person commu-nity can ill-afford without plenty of taxpayer help.

More importantly, Smiley and others say, building a fl ood wall would amount to sacrifi cing Clarks-ville’s identity.

“The Mississippi River is out there, and we live on it,” Smiley said in the town where 6,000 tons of sand has been crafted into the latest makeshift wall by locals, the National Guard and even prison in-mates. “We are a tourist town, and

part of that involves seeing and ex-periencing the river.”

The hamlet is currently working with the Army Corps of Engineers on a master fl ood plan, and Smiley said one option involves buying a metallic, interlocking fl ood wall that doesn’t require sand and can go up fast in a fl ood event. But that ap-proach is expensive: A mile-and-a-half stretch would cost millions of dollars, not to mention the money needed for equipment to move it and places to store it.

Smiley and her Grafton coun-terpart, Tom Thompson, say erect-ing a levee could cause headaches for property owners by dispersing the water onto their land, much of it fi elds. But they acknowledge those concerns are secondary to the cen-tral objection —levees block river views.

“We feel the way we handle these fl oods is acceptable to us,” Thompson said Monday from his

670-person town where the Missis-sippi was 10 feet above fl ood stage, swamping some basements and forcing lower-lying businesses in the kitschy downtown to close until the water recedes.

“There’s no desire for a levee, and we would fi ght that,” Thomp-son said.

Grafton resident Pam Bick, 57, echoed Thompson’s disdain, even as her basement was taking in water by the minute Monday.

When it comes to fl ooding, “we just live with it,” Bick said. She and her husband have lived in the home for four decades, including in 1993, which left water halfway up the structure’s entry level. “We’re resil-ient, and we live here because it’s so beautiful.”

Spots south of St. Louis aren’t expected to crest until late this week, and signifi cant fl ooding is possible in places like Ste. Gen-evieve, Mo., Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Cairo, Ill.

Residents of tiny Dutchtown, Mo., south of Cape Girardeau, were fi lling thousands of sandbags to protect their homes.

“We’ve had our houses under water more than once out here,” town board chairman Bud Smith told the Southeast Missourian. “We’re trying to get a buyout, but you know how slow the govern-ment moves.”

Elsewhere, smaller rivers were continuing to cause big problems, especially in northern Illinois and Grand Rapids, Mich.

Authorities in LaSalle, Ill., were searching for a missing wom-an after her van was found near the Shippingsport Bridge over the fl ooded Illinois River. A barrier along the Illinois River in Peoria

was holding back the water despite an expected record crest of 30 feet Tuesday.

The Grand River crested Sun-day in Grand Rapids, Mich., at a re-cord 21.85 feet, driving hundreds of people from their homes and fl ood-ing parts of downtown.

In Leadwood, Mo., about 65 miles south of St. Louis, a 12-year-old boy was swept into the fl ooding Big River as he tried to walk across a fl ooded bridge. Robert Salsberry jumped in to save him.

“I chased him down the river and he was just fl oating lifelessly,” Salsberry told the Park Hills Daily Journal. “I dragged him to a little island inside the river and I gave him CPR. His face was all blue, and I gave him CPR and brought him back to life.”

The fl ooding also created some odd scenes. In Fox Lake, Ill., carp from the swollen Fox River were seen swimming on driveways.

And near St. Louis, all 114 barges that broke loose over the weekend were accounted for. U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Colin Fogarty said 11 sank and the river will remain closed over a 15-mile stretch out of safety concerns. It wasn’t clear when the river would be allowed to reopen.

ATLANTA —Reese With-erspoon is “deeply embarrassed” about what she said to police offi -cers after she and her husband were arrested during a traffi c stop in At-lanta.

The Oscar-winning actress released a statement late Sunday apologizing for her behavior to po-lice that began when her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was ar-rested early Friday for driving un-der the infl uence of alcohol.

“Do you know my name?” Witherspoon is quoted as saying in a state trooper’s report. She also said: “You’re about to fi nd out who I am” and “You’re about to be on national news,” according to the report.

“I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said,” Wither-spoon said. “It was defi nitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no ex-cuse. I was disrespectful to the offi -cer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night defi nitely do not refl ect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”

Witherspoon said she can’t comment further “out of respect”

for the pending case, and her pub-licist, Meredith O’Sullivan Wasson, offered no other details.

The 37-year-old actress was ar-rested on a municipal charge of dis-orderly conduct early Friday after a state trooper said she wouldn’t stay in the car while Toth was given a fi eld sobriety test. She was released from jail after the Friday morning ar-rest and was in New York on Sunday night for the premiere of her new fi lm, “Mud.” She posed for cameras on the red carpet but did not stop to talk to reporters.

The trooper noticed the car driven by her husband wasn’t stay-ing in its lane early Friday morning, so he initiated a traffi c stop. He re-ported that Toth had droopy eyelids, watery, bloodshot eyes, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

Toth told the trooper he’d had a drink, which Witherspoon said was consumed at a restaurant two hours before the traffi c stop, the trooper writes.

Before the fi eld sobriety test began, Witherspoon got out of the car, was told to get back in and obeyed, the report said. After the “Walk the Line” star got out a sec-ond time, the trooper said he warned her that she would be arrested if she left the car again.

As the test continued, “Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the

window and say that she did not be-lieve that I was a real police offi cer. I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet,” Trooper First Class J. Pyland writes.

Toth, 42, was then placed un-der arrest. He was charged with driving under the infl uence and fail-ure to maintain the lane.

At that point, the report says, Witherspoon got out and asked the trooper what was going on. After being told to return to the car, she “stated that she was a ‘US Citizen’ and that she was allowed to ‘stand on American ground,’” the report states.

The trooper then began to arrest Witherspoon. The report says With-erspoon was resistant at fi rst but was calmed down by her husband.

Toth and Witherspoon were then taken to jail.

News of the arrest broke shortly before Witherspoon arrived on the “Mud” red carpet.

“I can’t say anything because I don’t know,” said director Jeff Nichols. “I literally —the fi rst guy on the press line to say something was the fi rst time I heard about it so I gotta go fi gure it out.”

Matthew McConaughey, who plays the lead role in “Mud” and is represented by Toth, said “I’m not going to comment on that because it’s too fresh.”

NEW YORK —No one under 21 would be able to buy cigarettes in New York City under a proposal un-veiled Monday to make the city the most populous place in America to set the minimum age that high.

Extending a decade of moves to crack down on smoking in the nation’s largest city, the idea aims to stop young people from develop-ing a habit that remains the leading preventable cause of death here and nationwide, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said as she an-nounced the plan. Eighty percent of the city’s smokers started light-ing up before they were 21, offi cials say.

“The point here is to really ad-dress where smoking begins,” she said, fl anked by colleagues and the city’s health commissioner, an array that signals the proposal has the po-litical ingredients to pass, with sup-port in the council and Mayor Mi-chael Bloomberg’s backing.

But it may face questions about its effectiveness and fairness. A re-tailer’s representative suggested the measure would simply drive younger smoker’s to neighboring communities or corner-store ciga-rette sellers instead of city stores, while a smokers’ rights advocate called it “government paternalism at its worst.”

Under federal law, no one un-der 18 can buy tobacco anywhere in the country. Some states and locali-ties have raised the age to 19, and at least two communities have agreed to raise it to 21.

New York would be the biggest city to do so. A similar proposal has been fl oated in the Texas Legisla-ture, but it’s on hold after a budget board estimated it would cost the state more than $42 million in ciga-rette tax revenue over two years.

To supporters, the cost to gov-ernment is far outstripped by smok-ing’s toll on human lives.

Public health and anti-smoking advocates say a higher minimum age for buying tobacco discourages, or at least delays, young people from starting smoking and thereby limits their health risks.

“Curtailing smoking among these age groups is critical to win-ning the fi ght against tobacco and re-ducing the deaths, disease and health care costs it causes,” said Susan M. Liss, executive director of the Cam-paign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

While tobacco use has become less prevalent in New York City over the last decade, the smoking rate has plateaued at 8.5 percent among the city’s public high school students since 2007. An estimated 20,000 of them smoke today.

It’s already against the law for many of them to buy cigarettes. But raising the minimum age would further reduce their access to ciga-rettes by making it illegal to turn to slightly older friends to buy smokes for them, offi cials say.

“We know that enforcement is never going to be perfect,” but this measure should make it “much harder” for teens to get cigarettes, Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said.

City offi cials cited statistical modeling, published in the journal Health Policy, that estimated that raising the tobacco purchase age to 21 nationally could cut the smoking rate by two-thirds among 14-to-17-year-olds and by half among 18-to-20-year-olds over 50 years. Texas budget offi cials projected a one-third reduction in the use of all tobacco products by 18-to-20-year-olds.

A higher minimum tobacco purchase age could cut noticeably into sales that make up 40 percent of gross revenues for the average con-venience store, said Jeff Lenard, a spokesman for the National Associa-tion of Convenience stores. But he suggested younger smokers might just go outside the city —the mini-mum age is 19 in nearby Long Island and New Jersey, for instance —or to black-market merchants.

To smoker Audrey Silk, people considered old enough to vote and serve in the military should be al-lowed to decide whether to use ciga-rettes.

“Intolerance for anyone smok-ing is the anti-smokers’ excuse to re-duce adults to the status of children,” said Silk, who founded a group that has sued the city over previous to-bacco restrictions.

Advocates for the measure say the parallel isn’t voting but drinking. They cite laws against selling alco-hol to anyone under 21.

The nation’s largest cigarette maker, Altria Group Inc., had no im-mediate comment, spokesman Da-vid Sutton said. He has previously noted that the Richmond, Va.-based company, which produces the top-selling Marlboro brand, supported federal legislation that in 2009 gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco prod-ucts, which includes various retail restrictions.

Representatives for R.J. Reyn-olds Tobacco Co. didn’t immediately respond to phone and email inqui-ries. Based in Winston-Salem, N.C., it makes Camel and other brands.

The age limit is already 21 in Needham, Mass., and is headed to-ward 21 in another Boston suburb, Canton. The town Board of Health agreed to the change this month, though a detailed regulation is still in the works, said Public Health Direc-tor John L. Ciccotelli.

It’s expected to include a provi-sion requiring an annual local study of whether smoking declines among high-school students —and elimi-nating the measure in fi ve years if it doesn’t, he said.

Since Bloomberg took offi ce in 2002, New York City helped im-pose the highest cigarette taxes in the country, barred smoking at parks and on beaches and conducted some-times graphic advertising campaigns about the hazards of smoking.

DUBLIN —The leader of the Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein testifi ed Monday in a Belfast court against his own brother, who fac-es criminal charges of raping his daughter —an alleged crime that Adams himself admitted he’d kept secret within the family.

Gerry Adams, a reputed long-time commander of the outlawed Irish Republican Army and party leader for 30 years, insisted under cross-examination that he didn’t de-lay telling police to preserve his own political career atop Irish republi-canism. He also denied threaten-ing to hit his younger brother Liam with a hammer during the fi rst key family meeting on the matter. That confrontation in 1987 involved Aine Adams, the daughter of Liam Ad-ams, who accused her father of mo-lesting her from 1977 to 1983 when she was just 4 to 9 years old. Aine’s mother, also present at the meeting, testifi ed last week that Gerry Ad-ams did make the threat. The long-

delayed criminal case has raised awkward questions for Adams’ Irish nationalist party, which is the major Catholic-backed part of Northern Ireland’s unity government. Adams testifi ed that he had known for many years about the rape allegations but didn’t tell police what he knew un-til 2009, shortly before Aine Adams went public with her accusations on Northern Ireland television. She accused Sinn Fein of wanting her

to stay silent for the party’s image. For decades, Sinn Fein encouraged the Irish Catholic minority in North-ern Ireland to boycott contact with the police and to support the IRA, which killed nearly 300 police offi -cers during a failed 1970-1997 cam-paign to force Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom. But since entering a power-sharing govern-ment alongside British Protestants in 2007, Sinn Fein has encouraged its side of the community to accept law and order as part of a reform process involving increased Catho-lic recruitment into the police force.

Adams, 64, said his brother confessed he had molested his daughter when the two walked on a beach in the rain in the Republic

of Ireland in 2000. “He said it only happened the once,” Adams told Belfast Crown Court.

His brother’s attorney, Eilis McDermott, repeatedly accused Gerry Adams of lying under oath about his motives. The lawyer said Adams made his 2009 statement to police “to save your political skin,” with Sinn Fein about to be accused of hiding rapists within its move-ment.

Adams countered that had he wanted to protect himself politically, he wouldn’t have gotten involved at all.

“I tried to fulfi ll my responsi-bility as an uncle to a young woman I am very fond of,” Adams said. “This is above politics, and saving my political skin had no consider-ation in any of these matters.”

Liam Adams, 57, denies 10 counts of rape, indecent assault and gross indecency against his daugh-ter. He fl ed to the Republic of Ire-land in 2009 but was extradited back to the British territory of Northern Ireland in 2011. He previously was a youth worker in Catholic west Bel-fast, his brother’s power base.

Gerry Adams was elected to British Parliament in 1983-1992 and 1997-2011, though he refused to take part in London debates. Since then he has represented the border county of Louth in the Irish parlia-ment, Dail Eireann, in Dublin. He did not play a role in the Northern Ireland government, where Martin McGuinness holds the No. 2 posi-tion for Sinn Fein.

TEHRAN, Iran —Iranians lined up to buy cooking oil and meat in Tehran on Monday as price hikes threatened to stir discontent less than two months before presidential elec-tions.

Prices of staples such as im-ported cooking oil, chicken and red meat have jumped up to 60 percent since authorities decided last week to increase the offi cial dollar exchange rate for importers who need the cur-rency to do business. They now pay 24,500 rials for $1, nearly double the previous rate of 12,260.

Iran’s economy is fl agging un-der international and Western sanc-tions over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program. The West suspects the program could lead to production of weapons, but Iran denies the charge. The sanctions, which include an oil and banking embargo, have led to a shortage of foreign currency and drastically cut the government’s in-come, while the country’s persistent infl ation eats into consumer buying power.

Despite government assurances that the new rate will go not go into effect for several weeks, many peo-ple are stocking up on goods before prices rise even more. The govern-ment has banned prices hikes until the new measures are in place and

dispatched inspectors to keep tabs on businesses.

“Any price rise is illegal,” said Mojtaba Farahani, an offi cial in the Commerce Ministry. “So far a re-markable number of reports have been fi led about wholesale and re-tail shops,” he told the semioffi cial ISNA news agency.

In Tehran, stores were crowded with people rushing to beat the hikes. In one grocery, homemaker Neda Rahimi quickly scooped up the last three bottles of cooking oil left on the shelves. “Everyday prices are going higher and higher. I will take these for now, so I have some extra at home,” said the mother of two. In another shop, 48-year-old high school teacher Asghar Niazi said a government announcement in March to raise public sector wages had en-couraged stores to raise prices.

“Now every shop has hiked its prices up more than 20 percent. I was here to buy cooking oil, but people snapped it all up before I arrived.”

Frustration over the price hikes has resonated in Iran’s tightly con-trolled media, which has grown in-creasingly critical of the government over the past year for the surge in costs for milk, chicken, rice and lo-cally made cars.

On Monday, a string of news-papers warned that the new currency rules could add to restlessness ahead of the June 14 election to select a

successor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The commentaries, which came from across the political spectrum, suggest disputes within the country’s closed ruling system. Even the in-fl uential conservative daily Kayhan, which often supports the policies of Iran’s ruling clerics, referred to “hid-den hands” working from behind the scenes to provoke discontent. The more moderate Hamshahri newspa-per ran a front page article focusing on “expanding” prices, accusing of-fi cials of trying to “downplay” their effects. Another daily, Haft-e Sobh, reported traffi c jams in front of ma-jor stores because of long lines of customers rushing to make last-min-ute purchases.

Prices for local products are also rising, although at a slower rate. While in Tehran a liter of imported cooking oil has jumped to around 100,000 rials from about 60,000, the domestically produced version now costs 34,000 rials, compared to 27,000 rials two weeks ago.

Price rises for locally produced products that have become the main-stay of much of the country are like-ly to generate more concern among policymakers, especially since even the prices of basics, like bread, are becoming less stable. Last week, Deputy Commerce Minister Abbas Ghobadi said prices of bread “will defi nitely go higher.”

Under Merrill and McKernan, Student Senate needs to reach out to students

With Friday’s announcement that sophomores Bryan Merrill and William McK-

ernan, two veteran Student Senate members, won the race for student body president and vice president, re-spectively, the UNH student body has an idea of who will be leading it dur-ing the 2013-14 academic year.

Now, over the course of the fi nal few weeks of the spring semester, Merrill and McKernan will get a chance to put together a cabinet of students whom they feel will help lead not only Student Senate, but who can serve as liaisons to bridge the gap between the student organiza-tion and the rest of the student body.

This will be an important aspect for the cabinet of Merrill and McK-ernan, as senate’s biggest problem in recent years has been its outreach to the students that it is supposed to represent. As Merrill and McKernan pointed out in an interview with The New Hampshire’s editorial staff, more often than not Student Sena-tors head into their Sunday meet-ings without discussing that week’s agenda with their constituents.

And for a student organization whose job it is to express the views of students to faculty and administra-tors, this is a huge problem.

Without properly consulting with fellow students about the issues senate tackles, senators are simply expressing their own viewpoint of what should be done at UNH. And more often then not, the views of 50-some students do not accurately refl ect the thoughts, opinions and backgrounds of approximately 15,000 students.

Of course it would be nearly impossible for every student here at UNH to have his or her opinion heard. Senate simply does not have the manpower to accomplish such a task.

However, there are means with which Student Senate could utilize in order to reach out to the student body.

Merrill and McKernan’s “Please Complain Campaign,” a Facebook page that works very similar to UNH Confessions, is one perfect example of how Student Senate could use social media to reach out to stu-dents. Students anonymously submit complaints that they have for the university, and Merrill and McKer-nan take these in order to institute change at UNH.

For senators who lack the desire to create a whole Facebook page dedicated to reaching out to students, more traditional mediums could go a long way for bringing the students’ voice to Student Senate meetings.

A large majority of under-graduate residence halls have a hall council. The way senate operates cur-

rently, senators should reach out to their resident buildings’ hall council and gauge the opinions of students who attend those meetings.

Simply by pursuing this already built-in institution to reach out to stu-dents ,senate could gain the multitude of opinions from the student body that it currently lacks.

This would go a long way for a senate that is expected to do a lot, considering the depth of experience Merrill and McKernan possess head-ing into offi ce. With the number of contacts the pair already has, students should have a student government that could truly serve their needs.

Whether or not this is a reality is entirely up to the leadership of Merrill and McKernan. The tone that this duo sets with its selections for student cabinet positions, as well as the efforts they themselves put forth both during the summer – student body president and vice president do a lot of the ground work for the year during the summer – could go a long way to inspire other senators to give a similar effort.

Putting forth that kind of hard work would not only benefi t the student body as a whole, but senate as an organization in terms of public-ity. Though Student Senate has made great strides this year with letting the student body know about what it does – just check its Twitter account – reaching out to students is the most effective way to get the work sena-tors do more attention.

It is also the best way for the student body to truly get its voice heard. As far as TNH sees it, it’s a win-win for both parties.

Without properly con-sulting with fellow stu-dents about the issues Senate tackles, Sena-tors are simply express-ing their own viewpoint of what should be done at UNH.

TNH seeking columnists and cartoonists The New Hampshire is look-

ing for sharp, articulate, passion-ate students to contribute to the opinion section on a consistent basis. We are always looking to increase the amount of student voices in the paper, and the opinion section is where students have a chance to express their ideas to the university commu-nity.

Columnists can write about a variety of subjects. Politics,

campus life, romance, technolo-gy, economics; all that and more are excellent fodder for commen-tary in a college newspaper. We are looking for sharp individuals with an even sharper pen to join TNH as columnists. While they are unpaid, columnists published in this newspaper will have their work reach our 5,000-strong print readership and 4,000 online subscribers, at the very least.

We are also looking for

talented artists to contribute editorial cartoons to the opin-ion section. While students no doubt enjoy Blundergrads, TNH would prefer to feature the work of current UNH students above anything else.

If you are interested in learning more about contribut-ing as a columnist or cartoonist, email tnh.editor@unh.edu for more information.

Americans should support new Venezuelan leader

Hugo Chávez presided over a period of rapid economic expansion for Venezuela.

By nationalizing the oil-rich coun-try’s massive natural resources, he was able to provide low-cost energy to Venezuelans and pump billions into the economy by sell-ing oil internationally. With nearly 296 billion barrels of oil now un-der Venezuelan control, it is free-ing itself from the chronic imperial dominance of ultra-rich Western nations.

What did Chávez do with this sudden surplus of state funds? He didn’t waste it on undeserved corporate tax breaks, and certainly didn’t start budget-busting wars. Instead, he invested it directly in the working class – greatly expanding public healthcare and education, doubling the number of students in college, tripling the number of retirement pensions to combat poverty, and giving labor unions greater say in the work-place.

The result? Thousands of worker-owned and worker-oper-ated co-operatives have spring up across the country; both poverty and unemployment have been slashed in half; extreme poverty was cut by just over 70 percent; and town hall-style consejos comunales (“community coun-cils”), wherein local citizens form neighborhood-based assemblies and decide democratically what to do with increasingly-large block grants.

More than 30,000 of these have have sprung into being, and Chávez worked to direct partici-patory democratic structures into the country to allow the Venezu-elan citizens themselves to take ownership and control of their own immediate community.

The consejos comunales are using their ever-expanding authority to build and expand schools, improve hospitals, repair roads, clean up water supplies, and improve their community’s infrastructure. This faint element of decentralized, populist, people-driven socialism is one of the cor-nerstones of Venezuela’s budding chavismo ideology.

Of course, Venezuela is still very much a developing capital-ist nation, but at least there is a modicum of desire to orientate the economy in the direct interest of the working class.

Unfortunately, Chávez passed away on March 5 from a long and painful battle with cancer, which

was cured, returned and eventu-ally took his life. Before he died, he gave his blessing to his vice president, Nicolás Maduro, and hoped that his United Socialist Party would nominate and vote for him in the election that would be constitutionally required after his death.

With the post-Chávez election results coming in, Maduro pre-vailed against right-wing candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski of the unapologetically neoliberal and anti-progressive Justice First Movement.

What response did Capriles give Maduro - congratulations, support, an extending of a con-structive, bipartisan relationship? No, Capriles invoked his right as a presidential candidate to request a recount, clogging the government up in a morass of bureaucracy and inaction in the hopes that it will slow the implementation of the dynamic reforms Chávez started and Maduro is continuing.

Of course, Capriles (as well as his capitalist Western allies, who have a vested financial interest in the continued imperial exploitation of Venezuela’s budding industrial-ization) is going to continue to call Maduro an illegitimate dictator. It makes sense for him to do so – the far-right, with its fetish towards deregulation and insatiable money-making, regardless of the social consequences – is able to legiti-mize its own economic philoso-phy only through a barrage of ad hominem attacks.

Capriles’ supporters, duped by false anti-Chávez propaganda,

have staged violent protests and riots in the streets. Doctors have been kidnapped, hospitals have been set on fire, members of Mad-uro-sympathetic peoples militias have been murdered and dozens of innocent people have been grossly wounded.

If that was not enough, the death toll stands at eight while I write this, and the corporate-fi-nanced and self-righteous Juventud Activa Venezuela Unida (JAVU), the radically pro-capitalist student protest group, has led numer-ous protests that have resulted in excessive property damage. JAVU has pined down over a dozen in-nocents with active mortars.

Is this what democracy has come to? When the people vote, democratically in open and free elections to orientate the economy so that it serves the common man more so than the corporation, is it appropriate for the quasi-fascist far-right to stage a military coup d’état in the hopes of ousting someone who (despite the pro-labor rhetoric he used to win his election) has no desire to abolish classism or money?

President-elect Maduro of Venezuela is not the heartless dictator that Capriles has made described him as; that being said, he isn’t the savior of the left, and he is not going to usher in a sort of chavismo socialism any time soon. Historically, Maduro is a moderate, but the things that he and Chávez have done have resulted in real, immediate improvements in the standard-of-living for the working class.

We should all stand in unwav-ering solidarity with the Venezu-elan people by denouncing the violent intolerance of the country’s right-wing militants. The imperial-ist West will not recognize Maduro as Venezuelan president until Capriles’ election-recount demand is met, but the democratic will of the people does not need govern-ment permission to be legitimate.

No matter what the bourgeois West or the Capriles-sympathizing insurrectionists think, the people of Venezuela have spoken – Maduro is president, chavismo will endure for the time being, and their work-ing class will continue to have the economy molded to fit its interests better.

on a shot from the right side, but lost the ball in the sun as it de-flected upwards. MacGowan came from behind the net and deflected the ball in while in mid-air. UNH was able to tie it up before half-time, however, with goals from Auger and midfielder Scott Lemay.

Midway through the second quarter, UNH’s David Nardella took an awkward hit from Dan Villandre and fell to the ground clutching his lower leg. After be-ing observed by trainers for almost 15 minutes, Nardella was carted off the field with his foot in a boot; however, Head Coach Ben Clark didn’t receive a diagnosis on what the injury was.

After halftime, the Rams scored two quick goals to take another lead. UNH closed the gap and only trailed 6-5 going into the fourth. The fourth quarter was Nolan’s time to shine, making five saves and only allowing one goal in the final frame.

“Connor’s a good goalie,”

Clark said after the game. “Our goalies usually split games…but today there was an illness so we went with Connor for the whole game and he was outstanding. I think he was upset with himself af-ter the first half, but he shut them down in the second half.”

UNH outscored the Rams 4-1 in the fourth quarter, highlighted by defenseman Kyle Pratte’s coast-to-coast score. With a loose ball on New Hampshire’s side of the field, Pratte corralled the ball with his six-foot stick and carried it down the middle of the field through the defense all the way for the eventual game-winner. Auger, Conor Ryan and Michael Currie also scored in the fourth quarter.

“We’ve [had] the injury bug this week, so practice was about getting bench guys into that start-ing role,” Clark said. “We’re a young team, so there’s a lot of mental [aspects] to work on.”

UNH will play their final game of the season on Wednesday at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn. UConn is cur-rently second in the PCLL with a 9-1 record, whose only loss comes against No. 1 Boston College.

M LAX continued from page 20

a year before me that the department began to take form. We have gone from scarcely hav-ing enough members to have a weekly talk show to having two weekly shows, operate a website, and produce consistent podcasts”.

Currently, the WUNH Sports Depart-ment has 11 full-time members, four train-ees and expects much more interest to be generated next year as well. In past years, the Sports Department covered a select few sports games a year and they came with sub-par quality, but now have evolved to cover men’s ice hockey and football, and plan on carrying basketball starting next season.

“We cover every home and playoff hockey game and many away games as well with digital professional quality broadcasts. We cover most home football games too,” Close said.

The WUNH Sports Department has technically existed since the beginning of the radio station with many famous personalities passing through such as Jack Edwards, who began his start at WUNH and is now known as the play-by-play announcer for the Boston Bruins on NESN.

Close doesn’t really know when the WUNH Sports Department first took form, but does know that it has evolved signifi-cantly since then.

“I do not exactly know who started the department but I do know that it was not re-ally a department until just a few years ago. We strive now to be more than just a weekly

show and have department meetings and spe-cific responsibilities within our department,” Close said. “As far as I know in the past this organization and professionalism was not re-ally achieved.”

The WUNH Sports Department cov-ers all Boston and UNH sports as topics on their weekly talk shows called “Wildchats.” Like most talk shows, they tend to get off on tangents, which makes the programming di-verse so that even a listener with no interest in sports can be involved and entertained.

Close preaches that their radio program is unique and is more than just a sports radio program.

“Especially on our Tuesday morning show we like to talk about “UNH happen-ings” such as weekend life, problems we see and hot topics around the school. We do not hold back on many things which can make for a very fun and interesting show,” Close said.

“We also get many guests in-studio and on the phone. We have had people on like David Portnoy [from Barstool Sports], Jack Edwards, and [celebrated sportswriter] Jack-ie Macmullan to name a few. We also regu-larly have UNH athletes and coaches on the show during their seasons.”

Senior Scott Higgins, who is another member of the WUNH sports department, does UNH football color commentary. Hig-gins is excited for the new look the station will have next year and just in general for the ever-evolving sports department.

“The future plan is for the department to keep growing. The station will be undergo-ing a major renovation over the summer and we are hoping the new state of the art facil-ity will attract even more student interests in

becoming part of the department,” Higgins said.

So how can students get more involved with this department?

“People can get involved by emailing sports@wunh.org to learn more about join-ing the station or they can always listen in [on] Tuesdays 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and Thursdays 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., call in and say their piece live on-air,” Higgins said.

The department is pretty laid back and offers UNH students a chance to get involved with the sports department by going to the contact page on their website, WUNHSports.com or by emailing them.

“If a student is interested but on the fence then I suggest that the student contact me and come sit in studio during a show to get the feel of how it goes,” Close said. “Even if someone does not want to be on air, we always need people writing for the website, creating podcasts, and helping to produce audio clips and producing our talk shows”.

The main goal of the department is to not only offer the Seacoast area high quality sports talk and sports broadcasts, but also to offer a place for UNH students interested in the field to hone their skills and possibly fol-low this path as a career.

Members of the department past and present have interned or worked with ESPN, NESN, The Sports Hub, CSN and WEEI among others.

The department is continuing to strive to represent the students on air and with their sports broadcasts.

“We want to be the exclusive place peo-ple go to get their UNH opinions and listen to UNH hockey and other sports. We want

to be the common place that UNH students can pool their comments and opinions about the university, sports and anything else they want to bring up. We hope to be that outlet in the near future,” Close said.

Higgins started a year before Close with the department in the spring of 2009 and at the time had only four members and two of them were set to graduate. The department has grown tremendously, and continues to climb new heights.

“The best thing that separates us from regular sports talk shows is that you could hear anything from a discussion about a Bru-ins trade to an argument about serving preg-nant women alcohol … there are really no boundaries for discussion,” Close said.

Another great thing about the show is that anyone can get their opinion in via Twit-ter, Facebook, or through instant feedback on their website or by calling into the show without being talked down to or cut off after being on air for five seconds.

WUNH sports radio looks to continue spreading the word and create waves by sim-ply inviting more of the UNH populous to take part in something that is not only anoth-er medium of communication, but can be an enjoyment to them because, like everyone, they just wants to be heard sometimes.

“Students, when they listen to the show, understand that they really can make the show into what they want by calling in. When we receive a call or online feedback about a topic someone wants to talk about [whether it be sports or not], we will generally go right ahead and move on to that topic,” Close said. “Even our Thursday night shows make for something great to listen to when students are getting ready to go out that night.”

Chloe Mangan (six goals) and Jenna Slowey (three goals) led the Stags’ offense while Katie Keenan finished with seven saves and a game-high four ground balls. Mangan was also credited with five draw controls, three ground balls and three caused turnovers.

Slowey’s unassisted goal gave Fairfield a 1-0 lead at 27:03 but Puccia, off a feed from McHoul, scored to level the game at 22:50. The Stags outscored the Wildcats 4-0 in a 10-minute span to build a 5-1 advantage. Mangan potted con-secutive goals at 21:32 and 19:34 to give the home team a lead it would not relinquish. Kelly Fenton struck at 17:02 to give Fairfield a 4-1 lead and Slowey’s free-position goal made it a four-goal game at 11:12.

McHoul recorded her second assist of the game on Casiano’s goal at 10:10 that lifted the ‘Cats within 5-2. Slowey responded with her third goal of the day to give Fairfield a 6-2 lead at 6:48.

Nock scored on a free-posi-tion shot at 5:41 but Amanda Best struck 41 seconds later to reestab-lish a four-goal cushion of 7-3. Jenna Fuchs, who set up Best’s tally, scored just 23 seconds after that to extend Fairfield’s lead to 8-3 at 4:37.

The Stags carried that 8-3 lead – as well as the edge in shots (18-6), ground balls (10-6) and draw controls (9-3) – into halftime.

Simpson opened the second-half scoring at 28:41 to trim UNH’s deficit to 8-4 but Mangan respond-ed at 26:33 to extend the cushion to five goals.

New Hampshire netted three consecutive goals in less than four

minutes to close the gap to 9-7. Simpson’s 40th goal of the season – a man-down goal set up by Hin-kle – started the run at 23:43. Hin-kle then set up Puccia for an even-strength goal at 22:24 and McHoul earned her team-leading 30th assist of the season at 20:32 when Casia-no scored a man-up goal.

Chloe scored three consecu-tive goals the next nine minutes to extend the Stags’ advantage to 12-7. She scored on a free position at 19:09, then netted an unassisted goal at 12:59 and struck again with a free-position goal at 11:31.

Simpson ended that streak with her third goal of the half at 10:40 to lift UNH within 12-8, but

Fairfield won the ensuing draw control and that led to Best’s goal at 7:42.

Puccia responded with a goal less than a minute later to bring the Wildcats within 13-9 at 6:55 but the Stags closed the game on a 3-0 spurt to secure the victory. Caitlin Townsend (at 4:23), Maeve Quinn (2:40) and Olivia Ziegler (1:36) closed the scoring.

Fairfield finished with the edge in shots (28-18), ground balls (16-11) and draw controls (15-12) while committing just nine turn-overs in comparison to UNH’s 13.

New Hampshire returns to ac-tion April 27 at 12 p.m. at UMBC for its regular-season finale.

Students bring sports talk to the airwaves of UNHSPORTS MEDIA

By ROBERT WILSONSTAFF WRITER

Media is in an age where people are constantly striving to acquire the most up to date news on par-ticular celebrities, athletes, political fi gures and so on. Here at UNH, students and faculty alike connect through the Internet, cell phones, apps, small talk, long-talk, social gatherings and even radio. Yes, ra-dio.

UNH carries a student run radio station located in the MUB, called WUNH radio. Listeners can tune in at any time at 91.3 FM to catch up on some daily programming whether it’s by the enjoyment of mu-sic or talk show radio hosts.

A department derived from WUNH radio that has been consistently growing over the last few years is the WUNH sports department.

Cameron Close, who produces the audio for WUNH Sports promos, the audio heard on Wild-chats and is also credited for creating and running the wunhsports.com website, has nothing but posi-tive things to say about the WUNH Sports Depart-ment.

“Over the last few years I have witnessed the positive growth of the WUNH Sports Department. The Sports Department, year after year, has become better represented and more organized. Looking back to before I was at UNH, there really didn’t seem to be any department at all,” Close said. “It was not until my predecessor, Matt Walsh, came in NICK STOICO/STAFF

Cameron Close is the Sports Director at WUNH and has seen signi� cant growth in the Sports Department since joining the radio station in 2010. Close is the host of Wildchats and is the voice of the UNH men’s ice hockey broadcast on WUNH.WILDCHATS continued on Page 19
