Two Wyoming Valley West
High School students whose cell
phones were stolen from gym
lockers were able to track down
the alleged thief by utilizing a
global positioning system pro-
gramthat pinpointed the location
of their phones.
Plymouth police on Wednes-
day charged Tyrek Julius Wil-
liams, 18, of Center Street, Ply-
mouth, with
stealing the
phones after
police ob-
tained a search
warrant for his
home based on
the GPS read-
ings provided
by the theft
victims.
The investi-
gation also led
to drug charg-
es being filed
against Wil-
liams after po-
lice said they
discovered a
quantity of sus-
pected mari-
juana in his
home.
According to anarrest affidavit:
Police were called to the high
school in Plymouth after two stu-
dents reported their iPhone 4 cell
phones had been stolen from
their lockers while they were at
swim practice on Tuesday after-
noon.
Both students utilized the GPS
tracking system built in to the
phones and discovered that the
phones were located at a resi-
dence on Center Avenue in Ply-
mouth.
Based on the GPS reading, po-
lice obtained a search warrant for
the home. While inside, officers

Consumers will tighten
spending this holiday season,
but that doesnt have to mean
theyll get less for their money.
Thanks to heightened com-
petition among retailers and
plenty of planned online and
in-store specials, savvy shop-
pers can make sure Santa leav-
es plenty of gifts under the
tree.
According to a recently re-
leased National Retail Federa-
tion survey, holiday shoppers
say they plan to shell out an
average of $516 on holiday
gifts, down from last years
$541.
When it comes to retail
growth this holiday season,
slow and steady wins the race
and the same is true for shop-
pers, who are meticulously cal-

STATE COLLEGE Jerry
Sanduskys lawyer told The As-
sociated Press on Wednesday
that the for-
mer Penn
State football
defensive coor-
dinator faces
two new
claims of child
sexual abuse,
but that both
are unfounded.
Joseph Amendola said one
claim stemmed from a Sandus-
ky family dispute, and he char-
acterized the other as an exam-
ple of people trying to mimic
other allegations and jump on
the bandwagon.
That doesnt surprise me be-
cause we believe there would
be a number of copycat allega-
tions, people who really maybe
not even had direct contact
with Jerry but ... try to jump on
the bandwagon, Amendola
said.
He said the accusations,
should they result in charges,
would be vigorously contended.
Sandusky is charged with sex-
ually abusing eight boys over a
15-year period. He has said he
showered with some boys but
never sexually abused them.
The Patriot-News of Harris-
burg has reported that the pair
of new claims were brought
within the last two months.
Well defend those if and
when they become charges,
Amendola said. Well defend
those just like were defending
the other charges.

people arrested earlier this
month as a result of the same

Here are some tips to help
holiday shoppers save:
Match guarantee: Many
stores will match compet-
itors advertised sales price
and in some cases will match
it and give you a portion of
the difference. Remember to
keep your receipts. If you
buy a flat-screen television
this weekend and then see
that its on sale for a lower
price elsewhere, bring the
receipt and the advertise-
ment to the store and ask for
the difference to be refunded
or threaten to return it and
buy it at the competition. If it
has been marked down fur-
ther at the same store you
purchased it at, you
shouldnt have a problem
getting the difference as
long as you have that re-
ceipt.
Use coupons: Stores will
often place advertisements
in newspapers offering a
fixed amount or a percent-
age off at this time of year.
Stores such as Target and
Toys R Us have issued cou-
pon books. And look on com-
The deal is out there for shoppers. Here are some ways to reel it in

ate district boundaries.
On Wednesday, 15 people from
Northeastern Pennsylvania, the
greater Philadelphia region and
the Lehigh Valley offered reasons
why the proposed changes should
be modified.
Among those set to testify
against the remapping plan was
state Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca.
Carroll was unable to appear but
said he will submit remarks sup-
porting his opposition to the ar-
rangement next week.
I am continuing my efforts to
secure adjustments to the prelimi-
nary plan and have chosen to sub-
mit my testimony next weekinor-
der to more precisely outline
changes that make sense for our
region, Carroll said via email.
Under the proposal, Carroll
would see his 118th District,
which is currently Luzerne Coun-
ty-based, withaportionof Monroe
County included, shifted more to-
wardMonroeCounty. Thechange
wouldlower the registeredDemo-
craticmajorityinthat district from
65 percent to 55 percent.
Other changes to the 118th in-
clude splitting one of the districts
largest municipalities Pittston
Townshipbetweenthe118thand
the 121st, which is represented by
Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-
Wilkes-Barre. Pashinskis district
also would include another split
municipality as the plan calls for
Plains Township to be partially in
the118thandpartiallyinthe121st.
Unless absolutely necessary, I
oppose dividing municipalities or
counties, Carroll said.
Others concerned, too
ManyechoedCarrollsconcerns
over splitting municipalities be-
tween districts, including West
Chester Mayor Carolyn Comitta
who implored the commission to
keep West Chester wholly repre-
sented by one state representa-
tive.
Former PhiladelphiaCityCoun-
cilman Angel Ortiz said the pro-
posedplandoesnt pass the smell
test. He said not only did party
politics come into play in design-
ing the maps, but it seems race
and ethnicity did, too.
He said members of Philadel-
phias Latino community are not
happy with the proposal, as some
of their neighborhoods are being
placed into suburban-Philadel-
phia districts they have little in
common with.
Spurredbynewcensusdata, the
state must carry out the constitu-
tional mandate of one person, one
vote by ensuring each district is
equally represented in Harris-
burg.
In the House, each district will
represent about 62,253 constitu-
ents; in the Senate, its 254,048.
This means some growthareas,
such as the Poconos and Lancas-
ter, will see changes basedonpop-
ulation increases alone. So will ar-
eas like Philadelphia andthe west-
ern half of the state that have seen
population dips.
But some of the changes were
donebygerrymanderingdistricts,
a common but often-criticized
practice that creates districts that
have little incommonbeyondpar-
ty registration.
If the maps as proposed are
adopted, voters will continue to
become more cynical, said Eliza-
beth Rogan, president of the Low-
erMarionTownshipboardof com-
missioners. She said politics need
to be taken out of the process.
Others urged the same.
Not a time to tinker
This is not a time to tinker par-
tisanly. This is not a time to horse
trade partisanly, said former
Scranton Mayor James Barrett
McNulty.
Though the testimony portion
of the process is complete, the
publics chance to express con-
cerns over the planned redistrict-
ing maps is not. The public com-
ment period will continue until
Dec. 1, at whichpoint thecommis-
sion has 30 days to approve the
maps and make themofficial.
The state Supreme Court could
still get involved if challenges to
the maps are made on legal
grounds.

mony of a graduate assistant
who said he reported seeing
Sandusky rape a child in 2002.
Among other things, they
asked for corroboration of state-
ments by assistant coach Mike
McQueary that he told Schultz
and Curley he witnessed Sand-
usky sodomizing a 10-year-old
boy in the football team showers
nine years ago. They said such
corroboration is needed to meet
ing prosecutors to turn over ma-
terial to help them prepare for a
preliminary hearing next month.
Attorneys for athletic director
Tim Curley and former universi-
ty vice president Gary Schultz
wrote to state prosecutors Tues-
day asking for grand jury testi-
mony and other information re-
lated to their cases. They both
face charges of perjury and fail-
ure to properly report suspected
child abuse.
The request appears to be a
long shot, since such disclosures
arent required so early in a
cases trajectory. But the letter
also hints at a likely defense
strategy: questioning the testi-
the relatively low legal standard
required for the perjury charge
to advance from the preliminary
hearing to county court for a full
trial.
The presentment states no
such corroboration, wrote Car-
oline Roberto, who represents
Curley, and Thomas J. Farrell,
Schultzs lawyer. Please provide
any in advance of the hearing or
specify there is none, thereby
saving the court and us consid-
erable time and inconvenience.
Roberto and Farrell acknowl-
edged that Pennsylvanias crimi-
nal procedure rules dont require
the disclosure they are seeking,
but told state prosecutor Jonelle
Eshbach she had the discretion
to provide it. A spokesman for
the Attorney Generals Office de-
clined to comment on the letter
Wednesday.

KINGSTON Charges against
a man who police say assaulted
and robbed a pizza delivery
employee on Nov. 9 were dis-
missed Wednesday.
John Nicholas Gallagher, 25,
with a last known address of
North Garfield Avenue in Scran-
ton, appeared before District
Judge Paul Roberts for a prelim-
inary hearing.
Three counts of robbery and a
single count of simple assault
against Gallagher were dismis-
sed.
Police said Anthony Brunetti
told them he arrived at Leonar-
dos Stop and Go on Main Street
after delivering a food order at
about 6:25 p.m. Nov. 9. Brunetti
got out of his car, and a man
identified as Gallagher asked
him for a light. Brunetti de-
clined and turned away, getting
struck from behind in the head,
the criminal complaint says.
Police said in the complaint
that Brunetti fell and was
punched several times in the
face by Gallagher. Brunetti got
up and ran into the business,
where another employee called
911.
WILKES-BARRE A Shick-
shinny man convicted of first-

slaying of his ex-girlfriend has
appealed his case to the state
Superior Court.
John Stone, 59, of North Ca-
nal Street, appealed his convic-
tion and sentence Wednesday
through his newly appointed

Prosecutors say Stone used a
13-inch hatchet in the early
morning hours of Oct. 24, 2010,
to deliver 12 blows to Catherine
Tabit, 37, of Kingston.
Stone was convicted at a
September trial and sentenced
earlier this month to life in

At the time of his trial, Stone

The two attorneys who represent-
ed former Judge Mark Ciavarella at
his corruption trial have been ap-
pointed to handle his appeal of his
conviction, but its not known if they
will be paid with taxpayer money.
Attorneys William Ruzzo and Al
Flora on Tuesday officially entered
their appearance on behalf of Ciava-
rella for his appeal before the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Ruzzo said he has not yet been ad-
vised whether the court has ap-
proved Ciavarellas request to be de-
clared indigent, a determination that
would entitle the attorneys to be paid
$125 per hour the current federal
rate for court-appointed attorneys.
Ciavarella is ap-
pealing his Feb. 18
conviction on 12
charges, including
racketeering and
money laundering,
related to his accept-
ance of money from
a contractor who
built two juvenile detention centers
the county utilized. He was sen-
tenced in August to 28 years in pris-
on.
Ruzzo and Flora filed a notice of
appeal with the Third Circuit on Aug.
17. Ruzzo said that by doing so he and
Flora have committed themselves to
represent Ciavarella in the appeal, re-
gardless of whether they will be paid.
Ruzzo explained that under the
rules of the Third Circuit Court, if an
attorney who represented a client at
trial files an appeal, that attorney is
obligated to represent the client,
even if the client cannot pay the at-
torney and his indigency petition is
denied.
If you file a notice of appeal, and
you were the trial counsel, you are
doing their appeal, Ruzzo said.
Ruzzo and Flora are both members
of the Luzerne County Public De-
fenders Office, with Flora serving as
chief public defender. No county
funds have been paid to either man to
represent Ciavarella, as they each ac-
cepted the case through their private
practices.
Ruzzo previously filed court docu-
ments in August seeking to have Cia-
varella declared indigent for the fed-
eral appeal. At the time, he stated
Ciavarella had less than $500 in cash
available and owns no real estate,
stock or bonds.
Ruzzo said he expects the Third
Circuit Court will ultimately ap-
prove the petition, allowing him and
Flora to be paid. But he has not got-
ten official notification of that yet.
William Ruzzo and Al Flora defended the ex-judge at trial, and will handle his appeal
Ciavarella lawyers to do appeal
Ciavarella
Ruzzo said he has not yet been ad-
vised whether the court has approved
Ciavarellas request to be declared
indigent, a determination that would
entitle the attorneys to be paid $125
per hour the current federal rate
for court-appointed attorneys.
PLYMOUTH A broken boiler could
leave residents at a shelter for homeless
women and children out in the cold this
holiday season.
Sister Marie Larkin, director of Cathe-
rine McCauley House, said the shelters
boiler broke last Thursday, forcing the
seven women and eight children who
hadbeenlivingtheretoseekshelter else-
where until it can be fixed.
The Church Street shelter provides
temporary housing for women and their
children who have become homeless for
reasons other than domestic abuse. It
was at full capacity when the heat went
out.
One of the kids came back the
mothers are coming back for clothes and
stuff and one of the
kids saidCanwe come
home yet? Can we
come home? So its
kind of hard for them,
Larkin said.
All those who had
been living at the shel-
ter, including four in-
fants, are presently
staying with family,
Larkin said, but be-
cause of the Thanks-
giving holiday, the
boiler likely wont be
replaceduntil late next
week at best.
The reality is I
think that most of
them were only plan-
ning on staying a night or two, she said.
Larkin said area agencies have offered
toput shelter residents upina hotel tem-
porarily until the boiler can be fixed, but
a larger problem lies in that the shelter
also doesnt have enough money on
hand to replace the heating unit, which
could cost more than $40,000 by one
plumbers estimate.
Its way beyond our means; we barely
make it as it is, Larkin said.
Area agencies like the UnitedWay and
the Commission for Economic Opportu-
nity are trying to help, but its unclear
how much aid they can provide.
Joe Calore, deputy weatherization di-
rector for CEO, said it is applying on for
state Weatherization Assistance Pro-
gramGrant fundingonbehalf of theshel-
ter, but needs to perform an on-site
home energy audit before a grant can be
approved.
There is a question as to whether the
shelter qualifies for weatherization as-
sistance because it is a temporary shel-
ter rather than a permanent residence.
Catherine McCauley House is funded
primarily by private donors, and Larkin
said the shelter would also appreciate
any help the public might provide. The
shelter can be reached at 779-2801.

SWOYERSVILLE A Wilkes-Barre
man charged last week with robbing a
Taco Bell in Wilkes-Barre was ar-
raigned Wednesday on other charges
stemming from robberies in three oth-
er municipalities.
Daniel Ungarsky, 27, of North Wash-
ington Street, was arraigned by Dis-
trict Judge David Barilla on11robbery-
related charges stemming from inci-
dents in Pringle, Kingston Township
and Plains Township.
Police say Ungarsky committed the
robberies to support a heroin addic-
tion, andthat after learningheusedthe
same needle as someone infected with
the AIDS virus, he went on a ram-
page.
Last week, Ungarsky was charged
with robbing the Taco Bell on Kidder
Street.
After aspreeof other robberies inthe
county, police called Ungarsky a per-
son of interest in the crimes he was
charged with Wednesday.
Already held on $100,000 bail, Un-
garsky is lodgedat the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility. Barilla set
$50,000 straight bail for each of the
newly-charged incidents Wednesday.
Ungarsky asked Barilla to lower his
bail sothat heis not heldinamaximum
security area of the prison where those
with higher bails amounts are lodged.
Barilla said Ungarsky can make the
request to lower his bail a preliminary
hearing next week.
Ungarsky is tentatively scheduled
for preliminary hearings on Nov. 29 be-
fore District Judge Diana Malast; Dec.
1 before District Judge James Tupper;
and on Dec. 8 before Barilla.
According to court papers, police
said Ungarsky entered the Uni-Mart in
Plains Township on Nov. 14, displayed
a knife and demanded money.
Ungarsky later told police he fled
without any cash because he saw a ve-
hicle pull up and decided to leave.
He told police he is a heroin addict
and that he learned he shared a needle
with someone who is infected with
AIDS. He said when he found out he
went on a rampage and used the
money from the robberies to support
his drug habit.
That same day, Kingston police say,
Ungarsky entered the Family Dollar in
Pringle and demanded money while
holding something in his hand he said
was a gun and mace.
Aclerk said Ungarsky apologized for
robbingthe store and$687 was handed
over. Ungarsky also took $20 from a
store customer.
The clerk said Ungarsky said, Im
sorry about this, I know Im a scum-
bag while leaving the store.
Three days later, police say, Ungar-
sky enteredthe Dollar General inKing-
ston Township and demanded money.
A clerk said Ungarsky had a canister
inhis handthat she believedwas mace,
and that money was handed over. Un-
garsky also reached into another regis-
ter and grabbed money, the clerk said.

SCRANTON An area
railroad company has filed a
federal lawsuit against UGI
Utilities Inc. that seeks to
block the company from be-
ginning construction on a
natural gas pipeline near
McAdoountil a legal dispute
is resolved.
Attorneys for the Reading
Blue Mountain & Northern
Railroad Co. filed the suit
Tuesday, alleging UGI has
taken action to begin con-
structing the gas line under
a section of railroad tracks
without first agreeing to
sign a licensing agreement
with the railroad.
According to the suit, UGI
has contracted with a com-
pany to bore an 874-foot tun-
nel andinstall a pipeline that
would allow for the trans-
mission of natural gas be-
neath a section of rail line lo-
cated at mile post 8.6 in
McAdoo, Carbon County.
UGI filed court papers in
CarbonCountyCourt inJuly
seekingtheapproval of apet-
itionto condemnthe section
of railway, which would al-
low it to construct the pipe-
line.
The railroads lawsuit, fil-
ed by attorney J. Stephen
Feinour of Harrisburg, con-
tends UGI is obligated to
first sign a licensing agree-
ment, which contains vari-
ous conditions that would
protect the railroads inter-
ests in the property. UGI has
refused to do so, Feinour
said.
The licensing agreement
contains several provisions,
including a section that
would require UGI to relo-
cate the pipeline should that
be deemed necessary to ac-
commodate any improve-
ments or additions the rail-
road may wish to make in
the future. The suit does not
state why UGI has declined
to sign the agreement.
Joe Swope, spokesman for
UGI, did not return a phone
message Wednesday seek-
ingcomment onthe dispute.
The contractor hired by
UGI plannedto beginboring
the tunnel on Nov. 28. Fei-
nour filed a separate action
Tuesday that asks a judge to
halt the proposed construc-
tion.

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
Yemens president quits
Y
emens authoritarian President Ali
Abdullah Saleh agreed Wednesday
to step down after a fierce uprising to
oust him from 33 years in power. The
U.S. and its powerful Gulf allies
pressed for the deal, concerned that a
security collapse in the impoverished
Arab nation was allowing an active
al-Qaida franchise to gain a firmer
foothold.
Saleh is the fourth Arab leader top-
pled in the wave of Arab Spring up-
risings this year, after longtime dicta-
tors fell in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
The deal gives Saleh immunity from
prosecution contradicting one key
demand of Yemens opposition pro-
testers.
Seated beside Saudi King Abdullah
in the Saudi capital Riyadh, Saleh
signed the U.S.-backed deal hammered
out by his countrys powerful Gulf Arab
neighbors to transfer his power within
30 days to his vice president, Abed
Rabbo Mansour Hadi. That will be
followed by early presidential elections
within 90 days.

Police have found 13 shot and burned
bodies in two pickup trucks in the

truck on fire early Wednesday in the
Antonio Rosales neighborhood. Higue-
ra says investigators found nine bodies
on the bed of the truck.
Higuera says that minutes later,
authorities received another report of a
pickup truck burning behind a store.
Police found four bodies inside that
vehicle.
Higuera said all 13 had been shot.

Goo mucks up Pa. travel
A flood of gooey black muck dropped
from a tanker truck disabled about 150
cars and damaged an unknown number
of other vehicles along a nearly 40-mile
stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike,
officials said.
A leaking valve on a tanker spread
driveway sealant over the eastbound
lanes of a long stretch of the Turnpike
between New Castle and the Oakmont
Service Plaza on Tuesday night, Turn-
pike spokesman Bill Capone said.
Turnpike operations officials on
Wednesday said 150 or more cars were
disabled when the sticky goo covered
their tires and wheels. Some state
police and turnpike maintenance vehi-
cles had to be towed away after getting
stuck in the tar-like substance, accord-
ing to the turnpike operations center.
WASHINGTON
Medicare chief steps aside
The point man for carrying out Presi-
dent Barack Obamas health care law
will be stepping down after Repub-

mation by the Senate, the White House
announced Wednesday.
Medicare chief Don Berwick, a Har-
vard professor widely respected for his
ideas on how to improve the health
care system, became the most promi-
nent casualty of the political wars over
a health care overhaul whose constitu-
tionality will be now decided by the
Supreme Court.
Praising Berwick for outstanding
work, White House deputy press sec-
retary Jamie Smith criticized Repub-
licans for putting political interests
above the best interests of the Amer-
ican people.

WASHINGTON Newt Gingrich, a
political gambler his whole life, is bank-
ing on unorthodox stands on immigra-
tion, Social Security and other issues to
propel himpast Mitt Romney in the Re-
publican presidential contest.
In a few weeks, GOP voters in Iowa
and NewHampshire will showwhether
they think the best person to challenge
President Barack Obama is a compara-
tive stranger to Washington politics or
a contentious and sometimes cantanke-
rous veteran of decades of inside-the-
Beltway battles.
Gingrich, 68, may be the most famil-
iar of the eight Republican candidates.
But he has never been a play-it-safe poli-
tician. He has a long career of highs and
lows to prove it.
Romney, meanwhile, is sticking with
his run-out-the-clock strategy. Hes ad-
hering to GOP orthodoxy on immigra-
tion, not making too much noise about
Social Security, and focusing his crit-
icisms on Obama.
His strategy has kept him fairly stea-
dy in the polls for months while others
notably Rep. Michele Bachmann,
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and business-
man Herman Cain have risen and
fallen. Now its Gingrich, the history-
quoting former House speaker, with a
chance to prove hes the Romney alter-
native who can rally and inspire Repub-
lican voters.
With time running short, hes draw-
ing attention to himself with a familiar
mix of big ideas, huge confidence and
occasional bombast.
Gingrich highlighted his break with
traditional GOP thinking on immigra-
tion Tuesday in a televised debate, step-
ping into a touchy area that tripped up
Perry earlier this year. Gingrich said he
favors pathways to legal status for ille-
gal immigrants who have lived peace-
ful, law-abiding, tax-paying lives in the
United States for many years.
I dont see how the party that says
its the party of the family is going to
adopt an immigration policy which de-
stroys families which have been here a
quarter-century, Gingrich said in the
forum, televised on CNN. Imprepared
to take the heat for saying lets be hu-
mane in enforcing the law.
That spells amnesty to some critics
of illegal immigration. Romney, the for-
mer Massachusetts governor and the
GOP establishments favorite, was
among those who refused to play along.
Any type of pathway to legal status is a
magnet for more unlawful crossings
from Mexico, Romney said.
Immigration has vexed U.S. politic-
ians for years. Many analysts say Re-
publicans risk angering the fast-grow-
ing Hispanic population by showing lit-
tle sympathy for the millions of illegal
residents already here.
Eyeballs sometimes roll when Gin-
grich cites his books, college degrees
and big-thinking proclivities. But hes
rarely dull.
On Tuesday he detailed why he
thinks the United States should follow
Chiles model of making Social Security
accounts private for workers.
their concern over the use of violence
against mostly peaceful protesters.
Navi Pillay, theU.N. HighCommission-
er for Human Rights, deplored the role of
Egypts security forces in attempting to
suppress protesters.
Some of the images coming out of
Tahrir, including the brutal beating of al-
ready subdued protesters, are deeply
shocking, as are the reports of unarmed
protesters being shot in the head, Pillay
said. There should be a prompt, impar-
tial and independent investigation, and
accountability for those found responsib-
le for the abuses that have taken place
should be ensured.

Egypts military rulers mounted Wednes-
day as police clashed for a fifth day with
protesters demanding the generals relin-

The United Nations strongly con-
demned authorities for what it deemed
an excessive use of force. Germany, one
of Egypts top trading partners, called for
a quick transfer of power to a civilian gov-
ernment. The United States and the U.N.

MOSCOW If Washington
continues to ignore Russias de-
mands about a proposed U.S.
missile shield in Europe, Russia
will deploy new missiles aimed
at it and put arms control on
hold, President Dmitry Medve-
dev said Wednesday.
The tough statement reflect-
ed a growing strain in U.S.-Rus-
sian ties, despite President Ba-
rack Obamas campaign to re-
set American relations with
the Kremlin,
which were
strained by
years of ten-
sions over U.S.
foreign policy
and the 2008
Russian-Geor-
gian war.
Medvedev
said he still
hopes for a
deal on the
U.S. missile shield, but he
strongly accused the U.S. and
its NATO allies of ignoring Rus-
sias worries.
The White House says the
U.S. will not limit or change its
missile defense plans in Europe.
Spokesman Tommy Vietor
says the U.S. has been open and
transparent with Moscow on its
missile defense plans in West-
ern Europe. The U.S. has re-
peatedly said those plans reflect
a growing threat from Iran and
wouldnt be directed against
Russias nuclear forces.
Vietor says the implementa-
tion of the U.S. missile shield is
going well and the U.S. sees no
basis for threats to withdraw
from it.
The U.S. has repeatedly as-
sured Russia that its proposed
missile defense system
wouldnt be directed against
Russias nuclear forces, but
Moscow has demanded legally
binding assurances, and Medve-
dev did that again on Wednes-
day.

KINGSTON TWP. -- The dairy
store at The Lands at Hillside
Farms suffered a significant blow
to sales Wednesday after it was
forced to close for several hours
due to flooding thats believed to
have been caused by a backed up
stormdrain system.
Suzanne Kapral Kelly, spokes-
woman for Hillside Farms, said
employees arrived at the store at
around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and
discovered it was flooded with
about 2 inches of water.
Employees and volunteers
workedthroughoutthemorningto
clear out the water and clean up.
The state Department of Agricul-
ture inspected the store and gave
permission for it to re-open at
about 11:45 a.m.
Kellysaidauthoritiesbelievethe
flooding was caused by construc-
tion being done at a nearby bridge
that apparently altered the flowof
water in the storm drainage sys-
tem, causingit tobackupandpush
up through the ground.
Kelly said Wednesday was ex-

Volunteers clean up after the store at Hillside Farms was flooded early Wednesday morning. It is
thought the flooding was the result of a backed up storm drainage system.

business opening Wednesday.

Suzanne Kapral Kelly
Spokeswoman for Hillside Farms
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Au-
thorities said Wednesday
they dropped a charge
against a German Mercedes-
Benz executive who was ar-
rested under Alabamas new
crackdown on illegal immi-
gration after a police officer
caught him driving without
identification required by the
law.
While Tuscaloosa police ar-
rested the man last week for
not having proper citizenship
documents while driving a
rental car in the city, city at-
torney Tim Nunnally said in
an email the charge was dis-
missed after the man later
provided the documents in
municipal court.
Police identified the man
as Detlev Hager, 46.
The company said he
was in Alabama on
business at the time
but declined further
comment.
The arrest drew
widespread attention
because the German
automaker is one of
the states leading
employers, and its de-
cision to build its first
U.S. assembly plant
in Alabama in 1993
provided the spark
that helped lead to the states
large automotive industry,
which includes foreign manu-
facturers Honda, Hyundai
and Toyota.
Republicans who support
the immigration law say it
will help create jobs for legal
Alabama residents by driving
away illegal immigrants, but
some business leaders and
critics of the law contend
similar arrests could hurt ec-
onomic development
in the state by mak-
ing it a less-attrac-
tive location for for-
eign companies.
One newspaper cit-
ed the executives ar-
rest in urging Mer-
cedes to move to
Missouri from Alaba-
ma.
Our state has
many advantages
over Alabama. We
are the Show-Me
State, not the Show
me your papers state, the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
wrote in an editorial.
The mans arrest caused a
state inquiry to the city
prompted by Republican Gov.
Robert Bentley, who signed
the law, but his office refused
to say how Bentley knew the
man had been detained.
Bentley is from Tuscaloo-
sa, where he practiced med-
icine for years.

UbU Clothing Co.
PORTLAND, Ore. Occupy
protesters want shoppers to oc-
cupy something besides door-
buster sales and crowded mall
parking lots on Black
Friday.
Some dont want
people to shop at all.
Others just want to
divert shoppers from
big chains and giant
shopping malls to lo-
cal mom-and-pops.
And while the ac-
tions dont appear co-
ordinated, they have
similar themes: sup-
porting small busi-
nesses while criticiz-
ing the days dedica-
tion to conspicuous
consumption and the shopping
frenzy that fuels big corpora-
tions.
Nearly each one promises
some kind of surprise action on
the day after Thanksgiving, the
traditional start of the holiday
shopping season.
In Seattle, protesters are car-
pooling to Wal-Mart stores to
protest with other Occupy
groups from around Washington
state. Washington, D.C., is offer-
ing a really, really free market,
where people can donate items
they dont want so others can go
gift shopping for free.
Others plan to hit the mall, but
not for shopping. The 75-person
encampment inBoise, Idaho, will
send consumer zombies to
wander around in si-
lent protest of what
they view as unneces-
sary spending. In Chi-
cago, protesters will
serenade shoppers
with revamped Christ-
mas carols about buy-
ing local.
The Des Moines, Io-
wa, group plans flash
mobs at three malls in
an attempt to get peo-
ple to think about what
theyre buying.
We didnt want to
guilt-trip people at a
mall, said Occupy Des Moines
organizer Ed Fallon. We wanted
to get at themin a playful, friend-
ly way, to support local business-
es.
Protesters say the movement
shouldnt take away money and
seasonal jobs from the working-
class majority it purports to rep-
resent. The corporations, not the
shoppers, are the focus of any
protests, they say. But organizers
do hope their actions drive peo-
ple to reconsider shopping at na-
tional chains and direct their at-
tention to small, locally owned
stores.
That may not fly with small
businesses wary of any associ-
ation with the movement, which
presents itself as pushing back
against corporate power.
If you ask, a lot of small busi-
ness owners identify as business
owners, not specifically small
business, said Jean Card, spo-
keswoman for the National Fed-
eration of Independent Business.
I would like to believe there is a
silver lining, but I dont picture a
frustrated consumer that cant
get into a box store turning
around and going to a small busi-
ness. I see that person going
home.
Trying to shop exclusively lo-
cal neglects economies of scale,
jobspecializationandother bene-
fits that big, multistate corpora-
tions can bring, said George Ma-
son University economist Russ
Roberts.
Dont punish yourself by not
shopping where you can get the
best deal; thats foolish, Roberts
said.
Besides, small businesses
arent necessarily better employ-
ers in terms of wages, benefits,
opportunities for advancement
and other measures, said John
Quinterno, principal at thepublic
policy research firm South by
North Strategies in Chapel Hill,
N.C.
He calculates that small mom-
and-pops, which he defines as
businesses with fewer than 10
employees, account for nearly 80
percent of employer firms in the
U.S., but only about 11 percent of
the jobs.

I had neuropathy for 7 years. They said the nerves would die and I would be in
a wheel chair. I couldnt sleep with the covers on my feet as the burning was
so bad from my feet to half way up my calf. I had electric shocks, pulsating
throbbing pains through my toes and intense numbness. At the same time
my feet to touch felt like ice. I had the Neuropathy Centers treatment done
and now I can sleep at night. I would say I have at least 50% of my feeling
back and seldom have stinging in my toes. I cant sing the praises enough for
the people of the Neuropathy Center. They are so positive!

SALEM, Ore. Haunted by
regret for allowing two men to be
executed more than a decade
ago, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber
now says itll never happen again
on his watch.
Calling Oregons death penalty
scheme compromised and ineq-
uitable, the Democratic gover-
nor said Tuesday hell issue a re-
prieve to a twice-convicted mur-
derer who was scheduled to die
by lethal injection in two weeks.
He said hed do the same for
any other condemned inmates
facing execution during his ten-
ure in office.
I simply cannot participate
once againinsomethingthat I be-
lieve to be morally wrong, the
governor said in uncharacteristi-
cally emotional remarks during a
news conference in his office.
It is time for this state to con-
sider a different approach, he
said.
Death penalty proponents
quickly criticized the decision,
saying the governor is usurping
the will of voters who have sup-
ported capital punishment.
Kitzhabers decision halts the
execution of 49-year-old Gary
Haugen, whohaddisregardedad-
vice from his lawyers and asked
to waive his remaining appeals in
protest of a justice system he
views as unjust and vindictive.
Haugen, who was scheduled to
be executedby lethal injectionon
Dec. 6, is one of 37 inmates on
Oregons death row.
Haugen was serving a life sen-
tence for fatally bludgeoning his
former girlfriends mother, Mary
Archer, when he was sentenced
todeathfor the 2003 killingof fel-
lowinmate David Polin, who had
84 stab wounds and a crushed
skull.
Oregon has executed two men
since voters reinstated the death
penalty in 1984.
Both inmates, like Haugen,
had abandoned appeals, but in
those cases Kitzhaber didnt in-
tervene, saying his oath of office
required him to let the execu-
tions proceed.
Kitzhabers first two terms as
governor beganin1995. The next
year, Douglas Wright was execut-
ed, Harry Moore the year after
that.
After eight years out of office,
the Democratic governor was
elected to a third term last year
and, his voice shaking, said Tues-
day he has long regretted those
decisions.
He said he has come to believe
that Oregonvoters didnot intend
to create a death penalty scheme
in which the only inmates who
are put to death are those who
volunteer.
The reality is that, in Oregon,
our death sentence is essentially
an extremely expensive life pris-
on term, Kitzhaber said. Far
more expensive thanthe terms of
others who are sentenced to life
in prison without parole, rather
than to death row.
Kitzhaber fought tears as he
said he spoke to relatives of Hau-
gens victims, saying they were
difficult discussions and his
heart goes out to them.
He declined to discuss them
further, calling them private
conversations.
Weve been dealing with this
since 1981, Ard Pratt, Archers
first husband, told The Associat-
edPress. It was almost over. And
then he changes it because hes a
coward and doesnt want to do
it.
Kitzhaber is a former emergen-
cy room doctor who still retains
an active physician license with
the Oregon Medical Board, and
his opposition to the death penal-
ty has been well-known.
In a news conference explain-
ing his decision, he cited his oath
as a physician to do no harm.

HAZLE TWP. The Hazleton
Area School Board on Tuesday
night hired Brian Bradley, vice
president of RBC Capital Mar-
kets, to put together investors to
raise $9.99 million for the pur-
chase of the CanDo and Bishop
Hafey buildings.
Bradley was able to attain a 20-
year fixed rate debt with an aver-
age interest of 3.3 percent. The
first year of debt payment for the
district will be only .85 percent,
and through the 20th year, which
will be 2032, the interest rate will
not exceed3.85 percent.
District officials chose this
method of attaining the money
rather than going to a bank be-
cause the bank would have had a
variable rate, which would have
beenmore expensive.
BoardPresident Clarence John
wantedtogoonrecordtosaythat
he didnt think the district could
afford both buildings or that the
district needs the space.
Board member Bob Mehalick
wants all district residents over
60 to attend the free 1st Annual
Christmas Breakfast. This will be
held at the Hazleton Area Career
Center on Dec. 11 from 8:30 to
11:30a.m. Therewill beentertain-
ment provided by the Hazleton

formers from DeMelfi School of
Music. Board member Carmella
Yenkevichsaidanyone interested
cancall andmake a reservationat
570-459-3111, extension3178.
Mehalick said all funds were
provided by the district food ser-
vice company, NutritionInc., and
by district employees.
The board approved the place-
ment of asignat theHazletonEle-
mentary /Middle School for the
Alice C. Wiltsie Performing Arts
Center. This center will be host-
ing the original band Chicago at
the center onSunday at 7 p.m.

HAZL ETON AREA SCHOOL BOARD
Investors sought for property buys
By JIMMORRISSEY
Times Leader Correspondent
EXETER -- The hiring of a re-
placement for an independent
contractor recently elected to the
school board raised questions
from board members and the au-
dience alike at Tuesdays Wyom-
ing Area School Board meeting.
Carl Yorina, who was voted on-
to the board earlier this month,
had been the contractor hired as
the districts wastewater treat-
ment plant operator at the Sarah
J. Dymond Elementary School,
for which he was paid $21,500.
On Tuesday, the board accepted
Yorinas letter of resignation for
that position effective Dec. 1 and
appointed Mike Bugelholl as
wastewater treatment plant op-
erator at $13,000.
Board member Frank Casarel-
la voted no on the appointment
and said he wasnt in favor of the
additional salary given to Bugel-
holl, who is already a district em-
ployee. Several audience mem-
bers questioned Bugelholls li-
censing and who would be liable
in the event of a wastewater spill
from the plant, as well as wheth-
er the job was posted.
Superintendent Ray Bernardi
said Bugelholl is properly licens-
ed as a wastewater treatment
plant operator and is pursuing li-
censing for drinking-water test-
ing, which is another function
previously provided by Yorina.
Bernardi said he was unsure
about the liability issue but
would investigate, and con-
firmedthe job was postedfive or
six months ago.
Bernardi said the districts
union insisted that the position
must be filled by a unionized
worker, and noted that not many
people are both a member of the
union and certified in wastewa-
ter management. He said Bugel-
holl, who is a union employee,
pursued the licensing in anticipa-
tion of the position someday be-
coming available.
Bernardi said that once Yorina
leaves the position next week,
the district could be fined by the
state Department of Environ-
mental Protection for each day it
is without someone monitoring
the wastewater system.
In other personnel-related
matters, the board approved re-
tirement incentives for Deanna
Sabola and Tom Pepe, accepted
the resignation of Jennifer Alai-
mo and the notice of intent to re-
tire from assistant secondary
principal Cathy Raineli, and ap-
proved an agreement between
the district and the Wyoming Ar-
ea Education Association to al-
low any member of the profes-
sional staff to donate a personal
or compensatory day to col-
leagues affected by flooding who
have exhausted their own avail-
able time off.
The board also announced the
districts insurance company has
rejected the claim for flood dam-
age totaling over $600,000 at the
Montgomery Avenue Elemen-
tary School. The district is now
pursuing funds from the Federal
and Pennsylvania Emergency
Management Agencies, Bernardi
said. The board also approved
payment for a flood insurance
policy for Montgomery Elemen-
tary at a cost of $6,530.

HARRISBURG U.S. Rep.
Lou Barletta is one of several
Congress members being sup-
ported by the National Federa-
tion of Independent Business in
a television and radio ad cam-
paign to run through Saturday.
According to Kevin Shivers,
NFIB Pennsylvania Chapter di-
rector, theorganizationwants to
thankBarlettaandtheothers for
fighting to block federal regula-
tions that cost small businesses
thousands of dol-
lars every year.
Every politician
claims tobea friend
of small business,
Shivers said. Lou
Barletta has been
the walking the
walk. On behalf of
Pennsylvanias job
creators, NFIB
would like to thank
him for his steady
support.
According to
NFIB research, a
substantial number
of small-business
owners cite federal regulations
as their biggest headache.
Shivers said that according to
the U.S. Small Business Admin-
istration, the average small busi-
ness must pay $10,000 a year,
per employee, to comply with
regulations. Arecent Galluppoll
of small-business owners veri-
fied NFIBs findings, showing
that small-business owners
across the country regard over-
regulation as a grave threat to
the economy.
Ive been working to disman-
tle some of the overregulation
that has been crushing small
businesses, like the 1099 re-
quirement
that we re-
pealed earlier
in the year,
Barletta said
Wednesday.
Small busi-
ness is the
backbone of
the country. Its howwere going
tocreatejobs andgrowtheecon-
omy. Im glad that the NFIB --
one of the nations strongest
small business advocates -- rec-
ognizes the work were doing in
Washington.
Shivers acknowledged the
need for sensible regulations
basedonreal science, andwhich
produceatangiblebenefit for so-
ciety. But the federal bureaucra-
cy is spinningout of
control, he said,
making it more diffi-
cult for Pennsylva-
nia businesses, job
seekers and tax-
payers.
In addition to Bar-
letta, the NFIB ads
are running in sup-
port of U.S. Rep.
Fred Upton, Michi-
gan; Tim Wahlberg,
Michigan; Steve
Stivers, Ohio; and
Steve Austria, Ohio
-- all are Republi-
cans.
According to the NFIB web-
site, the organizationwas found-
ed in 1943 as a nonprofit, non-
partisan organization. NFIB
gives small and independent
business owners a voice in shap-
ing the public policy issues that
affect their business.BradClose,
NFIB vice president of federal
public policy said, There are
members of Congress who have
proventhat theyarenot afraidto
take a hard vote to standup for
the little guy, and for that NFIB
is launching a campaign to en-
sure that the voices of our mem-
bers are heard loud and clear
when they say thank you.
Business group ads
cite Barlettas aid
TV, radio spots thank the
area congressman for his
support of small businesses.

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is
a good PAIR OF SHOES!
The former St. Hedwigs
School in Kingston will house
12 apartments for veterans as
part of a $2 million project set
for construction next year, a
Diocese of Scranton represen-
tative said.
The project has been planned
for years, tied up by zoning is-
sues on the portion of the prop-
erty that lies in Edwardsville.
The St. Hedwigs Church is
in Edwardsville, and the con-
vent, rectory and school are in
Kingston, said Steve Nocilla,
the housing and residential ser-
vices director for the diocese.
The diocese wanted to re-
place the rectory, church and
convent with a three-story
building connected to the
school, creating a 36-unit
apartment complex of one- and
two-bedroom units for veter-
ans and their families, Nocilla
said.
While Kingston residents
and officials welcomed the pro-
ject, Edwardsville refused to
grant zoning approval, he said.
Some residents had expressed
concerns the project would at-
tract veterans with psycholog-
ical and substance abuse prob-
lems.
The diocese lost county and
state zoning appeals for the Ed-
wardsville portion of the pro-
ject, Nocilla said. The new
scaled-back version will put a
dozen apartments in the school
and demolish the rectory and
convent to create parking and a
park area for tenants.
The Zerby Avenue church,
which closed at the end of 2007
under diocese consolidations,
will remain for now, Nocilla
said. The diocese will attempt
to find another use for the
structure or dismantle it if
funds become available, he
said.
The Catholic Social Services
of the Diocese of Scranton is
overseeing the apartment pro-
ject and is borrowing funds to
cover costs that are not cov-
ered by a $400,000 allocation
from the Luzerne County Com-
munity Development Office ap-
proved in 2010, he said.
Built in 1923, the school
closed a decade ago.
We wanted to find a way to
reuse the structure, Nocilla
said.
Veterans need affordable
housing as they seek employ-
ment and possibly rehabilita-
tion for war-related injuries, he
said. The veterans will pay up
to 30 percent of their income in
rent. A building manager will
be on site to supervise the com-
plex.
Kingston Mayor Jim Hagger-
ty said the project will help vet-
erans and prevent the former
school from decaying.
The people in Kingston are
supportive of the troops and
supportive of services for re-
turning soldiers and their fam-
ilies, Haggerty said.
Former St. Hedwigs School to be vets housing
The former St Hedwigs School in Kingston will soon be renovated into a 12-unit apartment complex
for veterans and their families.

WILKES-BARRE A Wap-
wallopen woman was sentenced
Wednesday to 23 months in the
countys Intermediate Puni-
shment Program for her role in
a $3.6 million cocaine distribu-
tion ring.
Michelle Ulitchney, 50, was
sentenced on three related
charges to which she pleaded
guilty in March 2010.
She was sentenced by Lu-
zerne County Judge Thomas
Burke, who said the first 11
1
2
months of Ulitchneys sentence
will be served on house arrest
with the remaining on proba-
tion.
Prosecutors say Ulitchney
played a part in the ring that
began in July 2008.
The ring was busted in
March 2009 when undercover
agents raided a clubhouse and a
members home, as well as four
other locations.
Police said Ulitchney and sev-
eral other people were members
of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club
and that thousands of calls were
intercepted and controlled co-
caine purchases were made.
Ulitchneys attorney, Demetri-
us Fannick, said Wednesday his
client has taken responsibility
for her actions and played a
limited part in the actual of-
fenses, including making phone
calls.
Deputy Attorney General Tim
Doherty said Ulitchney has
cooperated from the beginning
and that he was not seeking jail
time for Ulitchney.
John Ricci, 38, of Hanover
Township, was also scheduled
to be sentenced Wednesday for
his role in the ring, but his sen-
tencing was continued to Dec.
9.
Four members have pleaded
guilty and are awaiting sentenc-
ing in Luzerne County Court,
including Kenneth Koonrad, of
Wilkes-Barre, who is scheduled
to be sentenced on Dec. 20.
Most recently, Anthony Man-
chio, 51, of Wapwallopen, who
investigators say was the main
cocaine supplier, was sentenced
last month to five to 10 years in
state prison on 13 related charg-
es he pleaded guilty to in April.
Thirteen others have pleaded
guilty and have been sentenced,
including: Michael Scavone, of
Harveys Lake; John Gonda, of
White Haven; Francis Burac-
zewski, of Wilkes-Barre; John
Macking, of Hanover Township;
Michelle Adams, of Harveys
Lake; Paul Czerniakowski, of
Wilkes-Barre; Patrick Brown, of
Dallas; Mitchell Miller, of
Wilkes-Barre; Larry Gwynn, of
Hanover Township; Lazaro Sala-
varria, of Wilkes-Barre; Joseph
Janick, of Ashley; Michael Bros-
toski, of Wilkes-Barre; Michael
Bafile, of Berwick.

Writer says no thanks
to early holiday ads
E
very year the Christmas carols and
advertising start earlier. Now, they (big
corporate retailers) want to start sales
on Thanksgiving Day. Sickening, disgust-
ing and downright greedy!
I hope those big retailers compensate
their employees for ripping them away
from their families on this family holiday.
It should be like the good old days. No
Thanksgiving advertisements until after
Halloween. No Christmas advertising or
carols until after Thanksgiving. No Santa
parades until after Thanksgiving (local
municipalities are guilty of this).
I will be with my family on Thanks-
giving, enjoying the true spirit of the holi-
day and not giving corporate America one
dollar.
I wonder how many of the corporate
managers will be at work with their un-
fortunate employees and how many will
not be there, but will be home with their
families.
Maybe I will call the different stores and
ask to speak to the manager, not the assist-
ant manager. Itll be interesting to see.

Allow Sunday hunting
on forest, game lands
H
ere we go again! Another hunting
season has come around and all the
anti-hunters will be speaking out
against hunting. I read that the Pennsylva-
nia Farm Bureau is against possible Sun-
day hunting in Pennsylvania.
While I understand that farmers want a
day of rest, as they say, I also must re-
mind them that if not for hunting, their
farms would be overrun by animals that
would devastate their crops.
They have every right to not allow hunt-
ing on their properties, and respectable
hunters would honor their decisions.
Those people who would trespass should
be arrested.
My suggestion to the state lawmakers
would be to allow Sunday hunting on state
forest lands and state game lands. After all,
most of the money that went to purchase
these properties came from hunting li-
cense fees.
Hunting used to be big business in this
state, but because most people now have
busier lives and work more on Saturdays,
due to the economy, opening state lands to
hunting would again increase license sales.
People might say that if you open up
hunting on state game lands, they will
have nowhere to go. Ive hiked on many
game lands on Sundays and rarely encoun-
tered anyone. Again, we have a few people
trying to dictate to the majority. I feel that
the state should allow the people who paid
for the lands to use it for Sunday hunting.

K
THE HOLIDAY season is here. And in the
spirit of the season, millions of people will
donate food to food drives. Much of that food
will be lovingly packed into boxes and baskets
to be distributed to needy families. And just
as in years past, such well-intentioned food
donations will needlessly leave millions of
people hungry. Heres why.
In the traditional food drive/standardized
food box approach, donors are asked to go to
the store and buy food or to donate food from
their cupboards. Its then dropped into a
collection barrel, or piled around a Christmas
tree, or put on the altar of their churches, etc.
For every $10 spent that way, $10 worth of
food goes into the charity food distribution
system. But if the receiving charity food agen-
cy packs and gives out the food in standar-
dized boxes, research has shown that as much
as half of the food might not get used. This is
not because the receiving family wasnt needy
but because the food is either something they
cant use or dont know how to use.
So that $10 gift might end up providing
only $5 worth of actual hunger relief. Whats
more, because donations to food drives are
nearly impossible to document for tax deduc-
tions, the donor bears the full cost of the $10
donation for what amounts to $5 worth of
food used.
By contrast, suppose the donor gave money
not food to a charity serving the hungry.
Three things can happen. First, instead of
going to the store to buy food, the charity
takes the donated funds to its areas food
bank. There, for every dollar a donor would
have spent to buy cans of food, the charity
could draw about $20 worth of food. Thats
because food banks serve as nonprofit, whole-
sale-like clearinghouses for the food indus-
trys surplus food, charging only a nominal
handling fee for food drawn by charity agen-
cies.
Second, instead of packing the food into
standardized boxes, the charity can display it
in a store-like fashion and permit needy fam-
ilies to choose what they like. That practice,
called client choice, eliminates the problem
of needy families being given food they can-
not use.
Finally, if donors claim a charitable-gifts tax
deduction, the after-tax cost to them in giving
$10 could drop to as low as $7.50. Thus, by
promoting fund drives instead of food drives,
community members can drop the cost of
addressing their areas hunger problem 25
percent simply by taking maximum advan-
tage of available tax benefits.
The bottom line is that for the same
amount of money spent on buying cans for a
food drive, donors can feed 20 times more
families by providing cash, not cans.
But wait, some argue: Our community food
drive engages church members or school-
children in a way that writing a check or
giving cash simply doesnt. To which wed
argue: Now is the time to match traditions
with impact by demonstrating something
that need not be in short supply creativity!
Instead of a canned food drive, have members
of your congregation wash out cans used in
making a meal, put their donations in the
cans and bring them up to the altar. Have
schoolchildren volunteer to put the food their
financial donations have bought onto the
shelves of the local food pantry. Given the
amount of food the same amount of money
could provide, it might require the whole
school to stock the charitys shelves.
In the true spirit of the season, if you really
want to help vulnerable families, go to your
local food bank. Then take the money you
would have used to buy cans for food drives
and donate it to that local pantry. Fewer
families will go hungry.

If the receiving charity food agency packs

boxes, research has shown that as much as
half of the food might not get used.
O
NE WOULD THINK
that an effort to en-
courage healthier eat-
ing habits among
children would win nearly uni-
versal support, even in our
splintered society.
One would be wrong.
When first lady Michelle
Obama started her efforts to
encourage healthier eating and
educate the public about prop-
er nutrition, she was met with
withering attacks from critics
who falsely accused her of dic-
tating what Americans should
and shouldnt eat.
We certainly dont support
having the government try to
force people to eat properly.
But when it comes to children,
the government does have
some say over what they eat, or
at least to which foods they
have access at lunchtime dur-
ing the school year.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture had proposed stan-
dards that, among other
things, would limit the use of
potatoes on the lunch line, put
newrestrictions onsodiumand
boost the use of whole grains.
Lawmakers in Congress
blocked the changes last week
with legislation prohibiting the
department from using money
to carry out the newrules. As a
result, tomato paste on pizzas
will continue tobe countedas a
vegetable.
Somelawmakers arguedthat
this is an issue of personal free-
dom that the government
shouldnt be telling children
what to eat. Thats true, but
parents do have a say in the
matter, and they always have
the option of packing a lunch if
they dont like whats being
served in the school cafeteria.
Of course, the real issue had
little to do with ideals of per-
sonal freedom or proper nutri-
tion. It had to do with money.
Frozen pizza manufacturers,
the salt industry and potato
growers are among those who
lobbied Congress to prevent
the changes fromtaking effect,
lest they be knocked out of the
school lunch business.
Corporate influence wasnt
the only factor. Some school
districts have said some of the
USDA proposals went too far
and cost too much at a time of
extremely tight budgets.
Its a shame things have
come to this. Encouraging
healthy eating habits must be-
gin at a young age to have the
best chance of taking hold as
children grow into adults.

OTHER OPINION: HEALTHY EATING
Debate sours
on school lunches
F
OR THE UNCLE who
burps and the aunt
who slurps, we are
thankful.
For the sullen teens who
barely look up from their cell
phone displays, much less
speak, and for the younger
ones who seemingly cant sit
still, or stay quiet for
even a fleeting
prayer, we are thank-
ful. For those overly
opinionated rela-
tives and the ones
who rarely disagree,
for the constant talk-
ers and the quiet ones, for the
peacemakers and the agita-
tors, for the kitchen helpers
and those who claim spots
near the TV, for the prodigal
sons and the reliable ones, for
the dashing fit bodies and
those in diapers (infant or
adult), we are truly thankful.
On this day, especially, we
give thanks for everyone seat-
ed around the table family
member and friend. In a best-
case scenario, they are one and
the same. But, no matter, they
are ours and we are theirs,
bonded by blood or love or cir-
cumstance or respect or what-
ever it is that continues to
bring and keep us together de-
spite our foibles and flaws.
Thepeopleinour lives: gifts.
And if it comes to pass that,
due to distance, death or other
obstacle, we no longer gather
with these loved ones each
Thanksgiving Day, we always
will be able to look back, think
of them and con-
sider ourselves
blessed.
Until then, with
grateful heart, we
listen to the clat-
ter of silverware
and the cacoph-
ony of familiar guests.
For the understanding part-
ner, for the dogpatientlyawait-
ing table scraps and the cat
nestled in nearby closet, we
are thankful. For the people
now seated with us who soon
will shop in the pre-dawn
hours and for the ones who
adamantly abstain from com-
mercialism, we are thankful.
For those who stay late to
clean the dishes and the ones
who dash out, not to be seen
for another 364 days, we are
thankful.
For all who touch our lives
and leave an imprint, we are
forever thankful.
OUR OPINION: FAMILY, FRIENDS
See lifes blessings

For all who touch

GIFT CERTIFICATES ALWAYS A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT
There is a joy to holiday giving,
but doing so without the pain of
debt requiresplanningandself-con-
trol.
Terri Stocki, certified education
director for the Consumer Credit
Counseling Service of Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, said savvy shop-
pers will determine what they can
affordtospendandwhat they want
to buy before heading out in the
wee morning hours to hunt Black
Friday deals.
When we say making your list
and checking it twice, that goes
double for your budget, Stocki
said. Make sure you know what
your expenses will be, and dont
give more than you can afford.
Those on a tight budget should
think of simple ways to reduce ex-
penses like cutting back on restau-
rant meals and coffee-to-go, and re-
membering it really is the thought
that counts.
Shoppers shouldalsopace them-
selves whilelast-minuteshopping
can lead to overspending, there are
still plenty of shopping days left be-
fore Christmas, and
thereis noneedtoget all
of your shopping done
this weekend.
The most important
thing is, recognize when
youre finished and stop
shopping, Stocki said.
Sometimes we get our
shoppingdone early and
then when were out
shopping for something
else we see something
that wouldbe perfect for
(someone), but you al-
ready bought that per-
son a gift.
Banks and credit
unions also offer cus-
tomers ways to save for the holi-
days, from traditional Christmas
clubs to more innovative offerings.
Citizens Bank has converted its
Christmas clubtoa Goal Tracksav-
ings account, an account type re-
gional manager Donna Farrell
called a Christmas club on ste-
roids.
At opening, customers tell the
bank what they are saving to buy,
and when they have saved enough,
they are rewarded for
theirfrugalitywithfree
gift cards or other re-
wards.
First National Com-
munity Bank still of-
fers a traditional
Christmas club, allow-
ing customers to save
for the holidays either
through deposit-cou-
pon books or automat-
ic payday deductions.
That actually gen-
erates a lot of interest
because a lot of the
other banks dont offer
that in coupon book
form the way we do,
Assistant Vice President LucySing-
er said.
Lastly, lending professionals ad-
vise consumers to use credit cards
sparingly and wisely.
Diane McGraw, vice president of
administration at VAntage Trust
Federal Credit Union in Wilkes-
Barre, said shoppers should be dis-
cerninginsigningupfor storecred-
it cards, which offer incentives and
instant approval at the cost of sky-
high interest rates.
Sign up for too many and you
risk ruining your credit, McGraw
cautioned.
If you must shop on credit, use a
low-interest card and pay off the
balance as soon as you can.
ANintendoWii retailingfor$200
could end up costing you nearly
$600 if you make only minimum
payments on a high-interest card,
Farrell said.
Tip: Think first, shop later
Consumer spending experts
advise holiday shoppers to
stick to a plan to avoid debt.

First National Community
Bank in Exeter is one of
several banks that offers a
traditional Christmas club.
The plan allows customers
to save for the holidays
either through deposit-
coupon books or automatic
payday deductions. Terri
Stocki, certified education
director for the Consumer
Credit Counseling Service
of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, said savvy shop-
pers will determine what
they can afford to spend
and what they want to buy
before heading out in the

53 percent had planned to
begin holiday shopping before
Thanksgiving, according to a re-
cent survey by industry re-
search firm Deloitte LLP.
Changing patterns
Kelly Koczlo, of Shavertown,
was part of that slim majority.
Checking out the sales at the
Wyoming Valley Mall this week,
she said neither Black Friday
nor waiting for last-minute bar-
gains typically are her style.
But 2011 may be different.
She said that with a new
child and her husband making
less money at a new job, shell
President and CEO Matthew
Shay.
Knowing their customers are
more focused than ever on val-
ue, retailers will entice shoppers
with promotions that go beyond
discounts, whether theyre pro-
moting free gifts with purchas-
es, an extended warranty or
stellar customer service, he
said.
More than half of consumers
have to plan better this year.
According to the retail feder-
ations survey, 62.2 percent of
Americans say the U.S. econo-
my will affect their holiday
spending plans.
Joe Ohrin, the Wyoming Val-
ley Malls spokesman, said he
has noticed stores offering more
sales in the weeks before Black
Friday in recent years as the
holiday shopping season starts
earlier.
Its a competition thats heat-
ing up, especially with fewer
dollars expected to be spent and
fewer gifts set to be bought.
Holiday shoppers plan to buy
an average of 14.7 holiday gifts
this year, down from 16.8 last
year and continuing a four-year
decline in the number of gifts
they plan to purchase, accord-
ing to the Deloitte survey.
Comparison shopping
To compensate, consumers
are expected to comparison
shop to save dollars.
The Internet is an easy way
to do that.
Jeff Reeder, of Mountain Top,
who was at Kohls in Wilkes-
Barre Township recently, said
that while he doesnt use his
smartphone to compare prices,
his girlfriend swears by the
practice.
Shes got an app that tells
her what local stores sell the
same item and how much they
are. I dont have the patience to
drive all over the place to save a
few bucks, he said laughing.
More people plan to buy on-
line, with 46.7 percent set to do
so, up from 43.9 percent in
2010, according to the NRF sur-
vey. Using mobile phones to
comparison shop and tablet
computers to do research and
buy are also becoming more
popular. More than one-third of
tablet owners, 34.8 percent, said
they plan to buy items on their
device.
Still, heading out to stores re-
mains a staple for nearly the
entire gift-buying population as
only 1.7 percent of respondents
said that they plan to do all of
their holiday shopping online.

social networks and email lists
for insider deals.
Gift cards: They are always
an easy and popular gift. Accord-
ing to a National Retail Federa-
tion survey, 57.7 percent of shop-
pers say theyd like to receive a
gift card. If you shop wisely you
can get cards for yourself, too.
Many restaurants offer a buy a
$25 gift card, get a $5 gift cardbo-
nus deal.
Early shopping: Black Friday
shopping has become an annual
tradition for individuals and fam-
ilies. And stores such as Macys,
Kohls and Target have an-
nounced theyll open at midnight
this year to cater to these hard-
core shoppers. But do you really
need to forego sleep tonight to
get that deeply discounted video
game, crock pot or television?
Increasingly, retailers are offer-
ing similar deals online to whats
available in-store onBlackFriday,
so skip the lines and score some
bargains.
Store cards: If you dont have
a store credit card, sometimes if
youre going to make a big pur-
chase it could be worth applying
for one. Stores often offer a dis-
count on your first purchase with
a new card; if youre going to buy
a high-priced item and the store
will give you 10 percent off if you
open an account, it might be
worth considering.
Layaway: It used to be a sta-
ple of the holiday shopping expe-
rience and its making a come-
back. Layaway is a form of pay-
ment in which the store holds on-
to the item in question until the
customer pays for it in full. There
is usually a small service charge
involved. That way you pay little
bits over time rather than a lump
sumup front which will tie up all
your spending money.
Cyber Monday: The second
Monday in December is growing
in popularity as a day to shop for
the holidays. Online retailers
have taken to offering free ship-
ping and percentage-off sales to
get shoppers who didnt want to
wait in line at brick-and-mortar
stores or who put off shopping.

Its definitely different. We can go in

blindly. We didnt know how intense
it was going to be last year. Now we
do know its going to be insanity
pretty much.
The craziness was all on Northern
Lehighs side early on as the Spartans
fumbled three times on their opening
drive. And GAR couldnt take ad-
vantage of any of them. Northern
Lehigh regrouped and in a flash was
ahead 29-0 in the second quarter.

Last night it was a movie. To-
day it will be Thanksgiving din-
ner. Given all that has gone on
around Penn State football lately,
these are very small things to or-
ganize. But Tom Bradley hopes
they will add up.
The interim coach has spent
most of his waking hours trying
to keep the
Nittany Li-
ons season
from coming
apart in these
past two
weeks. And
while much
of that has
dealt with on-field matters, Bra-
dley has had to take care of his
players away fromthe gridiron as
well.
This week, those players ex-
pressed how much they appre-
ciated his work.
I have a ton, ton, tonof respect
for coach Bradley, quarterback
Matt McGloin said. He under-
stands its a tough situation, and
hes doing a great job as head
coach. My respect for him is
through the roof.
A lot of people dont under-
stand the type of person he is.
Hell do anything for you, and
hes been doing a lot of work.
That included renting out a
movie theater Wednesday night
as Bradley and the entire squad
tookinashowingof TheImmor-
tals.
Well see how that goes, Bra-
dley deadpanned on Tuesday.

Saturday
(ESPN)
H
e came to the Wyoming Valley
hoping to discover a better way
of life, and will leave with a
football future much brighter than
anyone else in his conference.
So Eugene Lewis has a lot to be
grateful for this Thanksgiving Day.
I thank Jesus Christ for the whole
situation, said Lewis, the son of a
minister.
His situation is simple.
Lewis played his last football game
in the area for the West team in
Wednesday nights UNICO Classic.
Then the Wyoming Valley West star
will head off to Penn State, despite all
the sudden turmoil in Happy Valley,
where he is destined to become the
kind of star with the Nittany Lions that
Raghib Ismail turned out to be for
Notre Dame.
Im still committed to Penn State,
Lewis said. This will be a great time
for the new class to come in and make
a whole new era for Penn State.
The old era ended pretty badly for
the program, with former defensive
coordinator Jerry Sandusky charged
with sexually abusing children in a
scandal that cost legendary head coach
Joe Paterno his job as part of an in-
vestigation that shocked the sports
world.
Including the incoming recruits.
It was Penn State. They were flaw-
less, Lewis said of the schools image.
Im sure some people have been wait-
ing to have something like this happen
to Penn State.
This could happen to anybody,
Lewis continued. The aspiration Ill
have is just to think positive.
He sure made a positive impact on
Valley West.
Lewis left the Penn Ridge school
district in the Philadelphia area in
seventh grade to live with his father,
Eugene Lewis Sr. and his step-mom,
Amy Lewis, on the Wyoming Valleys
west side.
It was tough for me to come up
here, said Lewis, a huge Philadelphia
Eagles fan who admires current Eagles
quarterback Michael Vick. But it was
time for my dad to teach me some
stuff.
You cant teach what Lewis does on a
football field.
A natural wide receiver, Lewis was a
game-changer just about everywhere
and every time he played for the
Spartans.
He was almost unstoppable as a
running and passing quarterback for
Valley West this season. He scored on
punt returns and scored on intercep-
tion returns. Lewis had a game for the
ages in a district playoff loss to White-
hall as a sophomore.
He caught six passes for 168 yards
and returned two kickoffs for 120 more
in a one-man show Valley West fans
will remember long after he leaves.
My sophomore year, I figured I
could do some things and definitely go
to college for this, Lewis said.
He went into a game against Dallas
leading an unbeaten Valley West team
this season, only to be stopped short of
the goal line on a two-point conversion
run.
When the Spartans lost the game by
a point, it left Lewis with his biggest
regret.
That will haunt me for the rest of
my life, Lewis said.
But there werent many bad memo-
ries like that for Lewis.
He tried to produce one last shining
moment for Wyoming Valley fans to
remember him by, while trying to have
some fun in the UNICO game Wednes-
day night.
It came at the end of a career filled
with thrills.
We all should be thankful for that.
PAUL SOKOLOSKI

Giving thanks
for some great
opportunities
DETROIT The last time Aaron
Rodgers and the Packers came to De-
troit, they looked like anything but Su-
per Bowl contenders.
Of course, the Green Bay quarter-
back has a perfectly valid explanation
for why the Lions slowed him down.
They gave me a concussion, Rodg-
ers said.
Rodgers recovered from that jarring
December loss, leading the Packers to a
Super Bowl title, but the way the Lions
shut down their NFC North rivals still
resonates. This trip to Detroit to face
Ndamukong Suh on Thanksgiving
could be the toughest remaining test of
the regular season for the unbeaten
Packers.
Another game, another opportunity
to get after another great team, said
Suh, Detroits imposing defensive tack-
le. Theyre a great offense, and one
thats very potent.
Its hard to imagine now, but the
Packers were actually in danger of mis-
sing the playoffs after they lost 7-3 in
Detroit last season. Rodgers left with a
concussion toward the end of the sec-
ond quarter, but Green Bay was sput-
tering even while he was in the game.
Rodgers missed the following weeks
game, a loss to New England, but the
Packers have won 16 straight since.
Green Bay (10-0) hasnt been held un-
der 21 points this season, and Rodgers
has thrown 31 touchdown passes with
only four interceptions.
The Lions (7-3) face a daunting task
if theyre going to end their seven-game
Thanksgiving losing streak. The last
time they won their traditional holiday
game was in 2003, when they intercept-
ed Brett Favre three times in a 22-14 vic-
tory over Green Bay.
We want to make sure that the play-
ers understand the tradition of this
game, its importance to the city, its
place in the history of the National
Football League, Detroit coach Jim
Schwartz said. When you wake up
downtown and theyre setting up for
the parade, I mean, its not just a nor-
mal day. Thanksgiving in Detroit is dif-
ferent than other cities.
This entire year has been different so
far for the Lions. Their resurgence ac-
tually began with that victory over
Green Bay, the start of a four-game win-
ning streak to end last season. Detroit
also won its first five games this season.
The Lions beat the Packers last year
with third-string quarterback Drew
Stanton. Now, starter Matthew Staf-
ford is healthy. Hes started every game
this season, throwing 25 touchdowns

COLUMBUS, Ohio Despite
numerous reports saying hes all
but set to become Ohio States
next football coach, UrbanMeyer
said Wednesday that is not the
case.
I have not beenofferedany job
nor is there a deal in place, the
former Florida coach said in a
statement released through
ESPN, where he is a college foot-
ball analyst. I plan on spending
Thanksgiving with my family
and will not comment on this any
further.
Several websites, TV stations
and The Columbus Dispatch
have reported that Meyer has re-
ached an agreement in principle
with Ohio State
and, barring
any last-minute
problems, will
be introduced
as the Buck-
eyes coach
next week.
People with-
in the athletic department and
closetotheteamtoldTheAssoci-
atedPress the jobhas not beenof-
fered to Meyer and nothing has
been completed. They spoke on
condition of anonymity because
the coaching search is supposed
to be confidential. Athletic direc-
tor Gene Smith declined to com-
ment Wednesday.
Ohio State, under interim
coach Luke Fickell, plays at No.
17 Michigan on Saturday. Fickell,
who some reports have said will
be retained on Meyers staff, de-
clinedto address the story, which
has been percolating for days.
No. I wont, he said Wednes-
day. Its not about that. Imgoing
to have enough respect for this
football game to make sure its
about this football game. I dont
think this is the time and the
place.
Speaking briefly to reporters,
he was asked if he knew if a deci-
sion on a new coach had been
made yet.
I know theres a game at noon
on Saturday, he said.
Meyer is from Ashtabula and
was a graduate assistant at Ohio
State under Earle Bruce in the
1980s. He grew up an Ohio State
fan and has said he has a portrait
of legendary Buckeyes coach
Woody Hayes hanging promi-
nently in his home.
Inadditiontowinningnational
titles in Florida in 2006 and 2008,
he has also been a head coach at
Bowling Green and Utah and
worked as an assistant at Notre
Dame, Colorado State and Illi-
nois State.
He announced in December
2009 he was stepping away from
coaching because of health con-
cerns, but quickly changed his
mind. After taking a leave of ab-
sence, he returned to the side-
lines for the 2010seasonandthen
retired again in December.
Alabama coach Nick Saban
said he would welcome Meyer
back into the coaching fraternity.
Urban Meyer is a very good
coach, hes a good teacher. Hes
good for young people, Saban
said on the Southeastern Confer-
ence coaches conference call this
week. If coaching is in his heart,
I think thats what he should do.
Saban said he understood why
Meyer had apparently changed
his mind about returning to
coaching.
As yougo throughlife andyou
do things and you make choices
and decisions about what you do
and I know his involved cir-
cumstances around his health
but still you learn about yourself
in everything you do, Saban
said. As you learn these things,
sometimes things change in
terms of what his direction is. I
think everybody has to do that,
and I dont think anybody should
be criticized for that.
Jim Tressel was pressured to
resign on May 30 after 10 years as
the coach of the Buckeyes. His
downfall came about when it was
learned that he knewthat several
of his players had accepted cash
and tattoos from a tattoo parlor,
the focus of a federal drug-traf-
ficking investigation.
Ohio State is awaiting NCAA
penalties stemming from several
violations.
Fickell, a defensive assistant
coach for nine years with the
Buckeyes, was subsequently pro-
moted to head coach.

backs need to win and have Au-
burn upset No. 2 Alabama the
following day to definitely reach
Atlanta.
And there are several scena-
rios involving the Bowl Cham-
pionship Series national title
game, including the premise
that the game couldpit two SEC
teams that dont even play for
the league crown.
I have to be real honest with
you. I havenot beenabletointer-
nalize any of that, LSU coach
LesMilessaid. I cantell youone
thing. Weregoingtoplaythisve-
ry talentedteaminour stadium.
... Frankly, it is one of those
games that you look forward to
playing.
The winner of the Iron Bowl,
the annual in-state rivalry game
between Alabama and Auburn,
has won the last two national
championships and could be a
factor again.
I feel like all SEC teams and
rivalries are kind of like this,
Crimson Tide linebacker Donta
Hightower said. You get all the
energy up for that game, and
then you win that game, you go
off and have so much steam so
GAINESVILLE, Fla. The
Southeastern Conference has
played significant games every
week for the last six seasons.
This week might be bigger
than any of the others.
Yes, the league that has won
five consecutive national cham-
pionships and had a regular-sea-
son matchup dubbed The
Game of the Century earlier
this month has as many mea-
ningful games this weekend as
any weekend in recent years.
In addition to Arkansas-LSU,
which will help determine the
Western Division race, the
league has renowned rivalries
on tap, long winning streaks at
stake and plenty of postseason
implications on the line.
The No. 3 Razorbacks and the
top-ranked Tigers get the week-
end started Friday with a game
that has turned out to be as rele-
vant to the conference and na-
tional championship pictures as
the much-hyped LSU-Alabama
game three weeks ago. LSU can
secure a spot in the SEC title
game with a victory. The Razor-
you go off to the SECchampion-
shipandthenthenational cham-
pionship.
It doesnt worklikethat every-
where.
Tennessee, Mississippi State
and Vanderbilt all need wins to
become bowl eligible.
The Volunteers (5-6) play at
Kentucky(4-7), ateamtheyhave
beaten 26 times in a row. Its the
longest active winning streak in
the country in an annually
played series.
I expect for Kentucky to
come out and try to be spoilers
forus,VolsdefensivetackleMa-
lik Jackson said. They dont
have a bowl game, but that
doesnt mean they dont have
anything to play for. They can
kind of say, Oh yeah, we didnt
gotoabowl gamebutneitherdid
Tennessee because we beat
them. ...
We cant take Kentucky light-
ly because, if we do, theyll beat
us. Theyll behappytheybeat us
andwell be sadbecause well be
sitting at home in December.
The Bulldogs (5-6) host in-
state rival Mississippi inthe Egg
Bowl. The teams have one SEC
victory between them this sea-
son, makingthis the least attrac-
tive matchup, but Mississippi
State desperately wants tomake
back-to-back bowl games for the
first time in more than a decade.
Ole Miss, meanwhile, has lost
13 consecutive conference
games but would love to send
firedcoachHoustonNutt out on
a positive note.
A lot of the guys had a little
extra bounce this week, Nutt
said.
Vanderbilt (5-6) has made a
bowl game just once since 1982.
The Commodores lost close
games to Georgia, Arkansas,
Florida and Tennessee this sea-
son, leaving them with a must-
win scenario against Wake For-
est.
More than ever, its a one-
game season, Vandy defensive
tackle Rob Lohr said. We have
to win this in order to go to a
bowl game. Wehavetobeready.
Assuming the league gets two
spots in the BCS for the sixth
consecutive season, Tennessee,
Mississippi StateandVanderbilt
would need wins for the confer-
ence to fill all of its bowl slots.
SEC teams have big weekend ahead

Plenty still at stake
By MARK LONG
AP Sports Writer
HONOLULU University of
Hawaii coach Greg McMackin
told reporters after Wednesdays
practice that hes been asked not
to comment on allegations that
some players have been involved
in point-shaving.
The university said Tuesday
the admissions office received an
anonymous letter Nov. 3 accus-
ing unnamed players of inten-
tionally playing poorly to affect
the final score as part of a gam-
bling scheme. Honolulu police
and the NCAA were notified af-
terward, but police have said
there isnt enough information
for a criminal investigation.
McMackin directed questions
to university spokeswoman
Lynne Waters, who wouldnt
comment Wednesday on wheth-
er the university wouldconduct a
probe. On Tuesday, she declined
to say whether the anonymous
letter referred to current mem-
bers of the football team or inci-
dents alleged to have happened
in previous years.
Also on Wednesday, the NCAA
said it was extremely con-
cerned by the allegations and
has been in contact with the
school since early this month.
We take any allegation of
point shaving very seriously as it
is a crime that threatens two core
NCAA principles the well-be-
ingof student-athletes andtheve-
ry integrity of intercollegiate
sport, a statement said.
When asked about preparing
for Saturdays game against Tu-
lane, McMackin said the team
has faced challenges before.
Its just another formof adver-
sity, he said. I really believe in
these guys. I love these players, I
love the coaches, and a lot of peo-
ple are goingthroughadversityin
our world. Im a teacher. Ive had
to teach through adversity to the
team more than Ive had to.
Warriors receiver JeremiahOs-
trowski saidthe allegations wont
affect the teams play.
Individually, it has nothing to
do with any of us as players, he
said. We all know that we arent
a part of it, soreallyits nodistrac-
tion. We just have to maintain fo-
cus.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
The Backyard Brawl could be
taking a breather.
The 116-year-old series be-
tween Pittsburgh and West Vir-
ginia, and a fewother rivalries in
the Big East, may have less sig-
nificant roles as conference re-
alignment takes hold over the
next few years.
Pittsburgh and Syracuse are
expectedto leave for the Atlantic
Coast Conference after the 2013
season. West Virginia is off to the
Big 12 at an undetermined date.
With nonconference match-
ups often scheduled years in ad-
vance, that puts a question mark
on the immediate prospects of
games such as the Backyard
Brawl and the River City Rivalry
between Cincinnati and Pitts-
burgh.
While the athletic directors of
West Virginia and Pittsburgh
have indicatedtheydlike tokeep
their game going, theres a walk-
down-memory-lane feel to this
years Brawl, which takes place
Friday night in Morgantown.
Just dont ask West Virginia
(7-3, 3-2 Big East) and Pitts-
burgh (5-5, 3-2) to hold hands.
Its obviously the biggest
game on our schedule, said
West Virginia defensive end Will
Clarke, a Pittsburgh native. It
has a lot of history to it. Being
from Pittsburgh, getting to play
against my hometown teamis al-
ways great, too.
With only 70 miles of Inter-
state 79 separating them, no oth-
er series in either schools histo-
ry has sparked such disdain,
cursing and cover-your-kids-
eyes T-shirts.
There have been some memo-
rable finishes.
In 2007, then-No. 2 West Vir-
ginia needed a win to secure a
spot in the national champion-
ship game, but the Panthers
smothered the Mountaineers
vaunted rushing attack and won
13-9 in Morgantown.
In 2004, Tyler Palkos short
touchdown run with 4 minutes
left gave Pittsburgh a16-13 upset
over then-No. 21 West Virginia.
In 1975, walk-on kicker Bill
McKenzies field goal in the clos-
ing seconds gave West Virginia a
17-14 win over a Pitt team led by
Tony Dorsett.
Annual Backyard Brawl threatened by Big East changes
By JOHN RABY

CORAL GABLES, Fla.
There were nights when Al Gold-
enwonderedif hehadmadea hor-
rible mistake.
He was hired as Miamis foot-
ball coach last December by an
athletic director who left a couple
months later. He had to scramble
for recruits. A top linebacker was
arrested for allegedly assaulting a
policeofficer, agoodrunningback
asked for his release and another
player was dis-
missed after be-
ing accused of
attacking a fe-
male student.
By now, all
those events
have been large-
ly forgotten,
which is under-
standable.
Goldens first season at Miami
ends on Friday when the Hurri-
canes playhost toBostonCollege.
Regardless of what happens in
that game, his 2011season will be
remembered by scandals the
one at Miami after a former boost-
er went public with a massive list
of shocking allegations, and the
one at his alma mater Penn State,
where shocking child sexual
abuseallegationsultimatelyledto
the firing of legendary coach Joe
Paterno, Goldens mentor.
Golden has a 300-page binder
on his desk, a users manual of
sorts for coaching.
Suffice to say, theres no chap-
ters to guide him through what
popped up this year.
First of all, Als a quality indi-
vidual, human being, great char-
acter, great football coach, said
Boston College coach Frank Spa-
ziani, who has known Golden
since the mid-1980s. I think hes
handled it marvelous. I think hes
done a tremendous job, really,
withall thedistractionsandall the
problems that hes hadtonavigate
through. Its atributetohis skills.
Every day this season, it
seemedlike there was a newprob-
lemfor Golden to deal with.
Suspensions of eight players for
their role in the Nevin Shapiro
scandal to begin the year. A slew
of injuries, mainly at defensive
line. A player punching a North
Carolina opponent in the groin.
Another player investigated for
having dinner with the owner of a
public-relations firm. Goldens
longtime agent stirred up news at
one point, suggesting his client
would have options to leave Mia-
mi if NCAApenalties handcuff the
program for years. And then the
Penn State story broke, bringing
new speculation Golden may
want to return there. Finally, the
university self-imposed a bowl
ban for this season, a move an-
nounced Sunday.

A stellar defender, he helped

and was a big contributor for the
unit, which only allowed 23 goals,
the third-fewest in the entire WVC.
Austin Bogart
Senior forward

One of just three All-State selec-
tions by the WVC coaches, he led
the entire conference in goals (39)
and points (84) playing for the
two-time Division III champion

TI MES L EADER SOCCER AL L- STARS
A.J. Nardone
Sophomore midfielder
Dallas
He led Division I in assists with 14,
three ahead of the next closest.
Overall, he contributed with 30
points for the Mountaineers, adding
eight goals.
Dallas has been known as
a championship-caliber
team every year for many
seasons now.
So when head coach
Chris Scharff approached
Dave Miller about moving
from center-mid to sweeper,
the senior would do any-
thing to keep the winning
going for the Mountaineers.
And Miller did just that.
The defender helped the
Mountaineers to a second
straight 14-0 regular season
and Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Division I champion-
ship. The team will begin
next season in the midst of
30-match conference win
streak.
Miller, The Times Leader
Boys Soccer Player of the
Year, was also a big part of
the daunting Dallas defense,
which has given up just 11
regular season goals in two
years.
It was a little different,
Miller said about moving
from offense to being the
last defender on the field
and now being responsible
for making sure everything
goes as planned on defense.
But thats where they need-
ed me and it worked out for
us this year.
Miller, who played defense
prior to high school, had a
big chore at hand this sea-
son as Dallas only allowed
two goals in 2010 and lost in
the first round of the Dis-
trict 2 Class 2A tournament.
But Miller, one of two
captains on the team, led a
charge for the Mountaineers.
They began the season with
five straight shutouts and
didnt allow a goal from the
field until the second half of
the season.
Taking every teams best
shot, Dallas trailed just
twice all season falling be-
hind Pittston Area 1-0 before
winning 3-1. The team then
surpassed last years post-
season run by advancing to
the district final, which was
the only other time the
Mountaineers trailed, losing
1-0 to Scranton Prep for
their only loss in a 16-1 cam-
paign.
Its fun (playing on Dal-
las) because even with all
the pressure we know that
everybodys going to come
after us so everybodys go-
ing to give it their best.
They all want to beat Dal-
las, Miller said. Theres
nothing to be ashamed of
with a 16-1 record. It just
happened to be the last
game.
With just four seniors on
the team, Dallas will again
be a force in 2012 and Miller
has a little advice for his
younger teammates.
Just keep the same ga-
meplan as this year and they
can do the rest next year.

the final minute, barely putting
a cosmetic dent into a miser-
able night at J. Birney Crum
Stadium in Allentown.
With so many seniors re-
turning and so many players at
that game gaining experience,
some of the nerves should be
out, Powell said. There
shouldnt be as many mistakes
and breakdowns like we had
last year.
GAR isnt a team thats used
to mistakes. The Grenadiers
had a plus-15 turnover ratio
during the Wyoming Valley
Conference season, meaning
they created 15 more turnovers
than they gave away.
Pen Argyl hasnt been to the
state playoffs since 2001, but
that year the Green Knights
made it to the state title game.
Theyve trampled just about
every opponent and have five
shutouts on the way to their
12-0 record.
There will be mistakes Fri-
day night by GAR. Its how the
Grenadiers handle them that
will be the key.
GETTING LOOKED AT
GARs Shaliek Powell, a de-
fensive back/receiver, has been
drawing interest from Akron
and Temple recently. He was
also offered a scholarship by
Prairie View A&M, a historical-
ly black university in Texas
that plays in the Southwestern
Athletic Conference.
Colgate has inquired about
GAR quarterback/defensive
back Darrell Crawford, and
Pittsburgh has also shown
recent interest.
2012 AND 2013 SCHEDULES
The WVC held a meeting
Wednesday to hammer out its
football schedules for the next
two seasons. Schedules are
done in all sports in two-year
cycles that correspond with the
PIAAs enrollment classification
calendar.
Something mentioned last
week as speculation has be-
come a sticking point.
The Mountain Valley Confer-
ence added two members
Allentown Allen and Allentown
Dieruff from the Lehigh Valley
Conference and now its
teams need two less non-con-
ference games.
So the WVC might have to
scramble a bit to fill the spots
vacated by MVC teams.
Crestwood played two MVC
teams the past two years,
while Coughlin, Dallas, Hazle-
ton Area, Tunkhannock, Wil-
liamsport and Wyoming Valley
West played one each.
The WVC schedule should
be ready around mid-Decem-
ber, with a few minor tweaks
prior to the 2012 kickoff.
AGAINST ALL ODDS
The District 2 Class 2A
champion hasnt fared well in
the state playoffs over the last
10 years. Eight times the
D2-2A champ was eliminated
in the first round. Seven times,
the margin of defeat was 21
points or more.
The 2007 Dunmore team
was the last D2-2A champion
to win its state opener. The
Bucks defeated Lansdale Ca-
tholic 21-14 and made it to the
state championship game
where they fell 49-21 to Ter-
relle Pryor and Jeannette.
Lakeland topped Line Moun-
tain 28-13 in 2003, then lost
10-7 to Northern Lehigh in the
next round.
HELP WANTED
As Pen Argyl heads to our
parts for its game with GAR,
two of its Colonial League
brethren will be looking for
new coaches.
Rob Sawicki stepped down
at Salisbury after four years
and a 5-36 record. Jim Brady
did the same at Palisades. He
was 3-17 in his two years. Also
in the Lehigh Valley area, Al-
lentown Dieruff has an opening
after John McDowell resigned.
He was 0-30 in three seasons.
As for the WVC, there prob-
ably wont be much, if any,
turnover.
Eight of the 17 coaches have
been at their schools two years
or less.
There were some rumors
one coach was considering
calling it quits, but it now
appears hell be back.

and 10 interceptions.
Detroit had lost three of
four and trailed 24-7 in the
first half last weekend against
Carolina, but Stafford rallied
the Lions with five touch-
down passes, and they won
49-35. Because of injuries,
Stafford has faced Green Bay
only once in his career,
throwing four interceptions
against the Packers in a 34-12
loss on Thanksgiving of 2009
his rookie season.
Its special, Stafford said.
Its a challenge for us. Its a
challenge for Green Bay, ev-
erybody playing on Thanks-
giving that played last Sun-
day. ... Its a special one for
us. Weve got the 10-0 Packers
coming in.
Green Bay can already
think about locking up a play-
off spot. In fact, the Packers
can clinch one this week if
they win and a couple other
things break right. Coach
Mike McCarthy says trying to
extend this undefeated run is
no burden.
I dont think you need to
hide from it. We really keep it
simple here and focus on win-
ning games and just staying
really in touch with the qual-
ity of play and work on per-
forming better each week,
McCarthy said. We feel great
about being 10-0, but we dont
waste a whole lot of time talk-
ing about it, thats for sure.
Both the Lions and Packers
have struggled to run the ball
at times. Detroits Jahvid
Best has been out with con-
cussion problems, but Kevin
Smith stepped in and ran for
140 yards last weekend. Green
Bay running back James
Starks has been dealing with
knee and ankle issues.
But it takes more than an in-
jury to a running back to halt
these two offenses. Neither
Rodgers nor Stafford was at
full strength the last time De-
troit and Green Bay met. Its a
different story this week.
Being a sports fan growing
up, you get used to watching
the Lions on Thanksgiving
and appreciate the fact that
Thanksgiving reminds you of
family, and knowing that
youre going to be able to be
on TV in front of a large audi-
ence, Rodgers said. Person-
ally, I have a lot of family
watching, and thats exciting.
NFL
do a lot of teamfunctions later in
the week. Right now letting
them rest up and study and do
whatever they have to do.
That includes getting ready
for Saturdays showdown with
Wisconsin out in Madison. The
winner will finish atop the Lead-
ers Division and get to face Mi-
chigan State in the inaugural Big
Ten title game the following
weekend in Indianapolis.
For the first time in his three-
plus decades at the university,
Bradley is fully in the spotlight.
And its brighter than anyone
could have imagined following a
scandal that led to the firing of
Joe Paterno and university presi-
dent Graham Spanier.
Bradley took over for Paterno
and Rod Erickson had succeed-
ed Spanier as the two main faces
to represent the university since
chaos took holdinState College.
I dont think there (was) a
whole lot of pressure, Bradley
said. I just answered the ques-
tions honestly and openly. If you
do that, you dont have much
pressure. Most guys know me. I
talk from my heart. I talked to
the team that way. Im not a
(read off of a) piece of paper guy.
Everybody knows that about
me. I say what I have to say, and
it wasnt bad.
The Penn State lifer has ex-
pressed his interest in the per-
manent coaching job, the only
persontopublicly dososince Pa-
terno was fired.
Acting athletic director Dave
Joyner said this weekend that
Bradley has done a very fine
job thus far and that he would
have no objection to hiring
someone with Penn State ties to
replace Paterno.
As things have begun to calm
downslightly, players havecome
out in support of Bradley.
Hes done an awesome job,
senior linebacker Nate Stupar
said. Hes treating us like men,
taking care of us just like his own
family. It really feels likes his
hearts in the right place. Hes
keeping his heart on Penn State
knowing that this season means
so much to us.
Hes been very sacrificing of
his own time, trying to do every-
thing possible to make this our
best season. And I thank himfor
that.

PHILADELPHIA Gary Be-
ttman understands the risks of a
work stoppage as well as any
sports commissioner.
He oversaw the 1994-95 NHL
lockout that delayed the start of
the season and forced a 48-game
regular-season schedule. When
labor problems lingeredin2004-
05, Bettman shut down the
league.
Bettman knows the pain that
NBA players, owners and fans
feel and the financial and career
gambles theyre taking as the
messy lockout continues. Every-
one fromthe parking attendants
and restaurant owners to the
peanut vendors and ushers suf-
fers with no games.
He just hopes the NHL
doesnt make that sport stop-
pages list again.
The NHLs collective bargain-
ing agreement is set to expire
Sept. 15, 2012, and discussions
are scheduled to begin shortly
after the NHL All-Star break at
the end of January.
Donald Fehr, the executive di-
rector of the NHL Players Asso-
ciation, has said he does not ex-
pect acrimonious negotiations.
Bettman has declined to discuss
specifics of what he expects out
of the negotiations just know
that he wants the NHL business
to continue to grow.
Wevebeenspendingtimeto-
gether, Bettman said. Ive
known Don for 30 years. Hes
quite smart and capable. Im
sure hell do a very workman-
like job in representing his con-
stituents.
Before labor negotiations be-
gin, Bettman hopes to have a
better handle on realignment.
Vancouver businessman Tom
Gaglardi just bought the Dallas
Stars, and hes already lobbied
Bettman to get the team out of
the Western Conference.
The Winnipeg Jets are still
stuck in the Southeast Division
with Washington, Florida, Car-
olina and Tampa Bay for this
season. Bettman wants the Jets
in the Western Conference.
Were going to have to ad-
dress it, and thats something
well do with the board (of gov-
ernors) in December, Bettman
said.
Bettman was in Philadelphia
this week for the ribbon cutting
ona renovatedrink thats part of
Flyers chairman Ed Sniders
youth hockey program. Three
neglected, open-air rinks in Phi-
ladelphia have been trans-
formed as part of a $13 million
restoration project into recon-
structed, closed rinks worthy of
an NHL practice facility.

Black Friday means different
things to different people.
For shoppers, the day after
Thanksgiving is about the early-
morning pursuit of sales.
For Maury Nehme and Chris
Coyne of Northeast MMA, it is a
Friday night made for fights.
Northeast MMA is promoting
PA Cage Fight 9 on Friday night
at the Lackawanna College Stu-
dent Union. Doors open at 6
p.m. with the first fight sched-
uled for 7 p.m.
It is the third consecutive
Black Friday that Nehme and
Coyne have promoted a Mixed
Martial Arts card after four years
in which they promoted a box-
ing card on the traditional start-
ing day of the Christmas shop-
ping season.
Black Friday has been an an-
nual thing for Chris Coyne and
I, Nehme said. Other than the
ESPN (boxing) fights, it has al-
ways been our best night for sell-
ing tickets.
Nehme said fight fans also
have made clear their preference
for the Student Union site,
which had a long history as the
home of boxing cards in its days
as the Scranton Catholic Youth
Center.
A lot of our fans say it is the
best, Nehme said. The GA
seats are as good as the floor.
The card will feature an in-
crease in professional fights with
six scheduled, the most North-
east MMA has produced in its
series and more than is typical of
a split pro/amateur MMA card.
Gemiyale Baby Hecrules Ad-
kins will meet Kris The Savage
McCray in the main event.
Adkins, from Delaware, is 7-2
after winning his first six bouts
as a pro.
McCray, a former Ultimate
Fighting Championships series
competitor from New Jersey, is
6-3, not including a 4-1 mark in
The Ultimate Fighter bouts early
in 2010.
West Scrantons Dave Morgan
will try to bounce back from his
first defeat amateur or pro
against Evan Velez of New York.
Morgan is known locally as a for-
mer national championship
wrestler at Kings.
Morgan (2-1) lost by submis-
sion to Tuan Pham Oct. 8 in the
Tri-State 1 Cage Fight in Matam-
oras. Velez is 2-0.
Rex Harris of Exeter is sched-
uled to face John Doyle, while
Steve Mytych of Wyoming, Evan
Bates of Dingmans Ferry and
John Flock of Williamsport are
also scheduled to have profes-
sional fights.
The amateur portion of the
card includes Dave Spadell Jr. of
Hazleton and Gary Peters of Pitt-
ston, both 5-2, for the Cage Fight
Series welterweight amateur ti-
tle.
Tickets are priced at $75, $50,
$40 and $35.

Fight card set Friday at Lackawanna College

For The Times Leader
CHARLOTTE, N.C. NAS-
CAR opened its season with a
fresh-faced Daytona 500 win-
ner and ended it with one of
the most thrilling champion-
ship race in series history.
In between, there was con-
flict, controversy and, most im-
portant, compelling competi-
tion none more so than Sun-
days season finale. Tony Stew-
art grabbed his third NASCAR
championship with a deter-
mined drive at Homestead,
where he passed an unbelieva-
ble 118 cars to win for the fifth
time in the 10-race Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship.
The victory left him tied
with Carl Edwards in the final
points standings a NASCAR
first and Stewart got the title
on the tie-breaker of season
wins.
If you didnt think this was
one of the most exciting Chas-
es to watch from a fan stand-
point, youve got to go to a doc-
tor immediately and get
checked out, Stewart said.
The television ratings
backed it up, as NASCAR saw
an upswing for the first time in
years. ESPN had its largest au-
dience ever for a NASCARrace,
as the 4.0 rating was up 18 per-
cent from last years finale.
More important, ratings for
the entire Chase were up 14.8
percent from last year.
Obviously, we think the sea-
son has gone very well, NAS-
CAR chairman Brian France
said two days before the race.
It was a good season, begin-
ning with Trevor Baynes im-
probable Daytona 500 victory.
Nobody gave the 20-year-old a
chance in NASCARs version of
the Super Bowl, not in his first
Daytona 500 start and driving
for a team that hadnt been to
Victory Lane in a decade.
But with a slew of veterans
lined up behind him on the fi-
nal restart Stewart included
Bayne kept his foot on the
gas and drove the famed No. 21
Wood Brothers Ford to a stun-
ning upset. It was a tremen-
dous kickoff to the season and
made many people forget about
the two-car tandemracing style
that had taken over at Daytona.
As the months wore on, 18
different drivers won Sprint
Cup races, including six first-
time winners. Among them
was Regan Smith, driving for
underfunded, single-car team
Furniture Row Racing, and
Marcos Ambrose, who proved
Richard Petty Motorsports
could still compete after stav-
ing off a 2010 collapse.
And then there was Brad Ke-
selowski, a brash and outspo-
ken driver who just two years
ago was a thorn in most every-
ones side. That seems so long
ago now. Keselowski has grown
into a media darling and
backed it up with a sensational
summer run while driving
with a broken ankle that got
him into his first Chase and
earned him a surprising fifth
place in the final points stand-
ings.
His emergence helped soften
things at Penske Racing, which
all year was forced to clean up
behind driver Kurt Busch.
Busch sparred with his team,
the media, and his meltdowns
on his in-car radio became leg-
endary. Just this week, Buschs
crew chief formally quit the
team and Penske officials took
the unusual step of issuing a
public apology when a fan post-
ed video to YouTube of Busch
being verbally abusive Sunday
to an ESPN reporter.
Then theres Buschs little
brother.
The last month of the season
was rough for Kyle Busch, the
top seed at the start of the
Chase who ended the year
ranked last in the 12-driver
standings. He was suspended
by NASCAR three weeks ago at
Texas for intentionally wreck-
ing Ron Hornaday Jr. under
caution in a Truck Series race,
and Kyle Busch had to fight
hard to keep primary sponsor
M&Ms from firing him.
Although his job appears to
be safe, his future participation
in Nationwide and Truck races
seems to be in jeopardy.
The suspension was one of
the many hiccups for Kyle
Busch, who unwittingly be-
came the poster boy for NAS-
CARs Boys, have at it policy.
Still grappling with just how
far drivers can go in policing
themselves, NASCAR officials
held up Busch at Texas as the
one who finally crossed the
line. But, theres still questions:
A week after Buschs incident,
Brian Vickers intentionally
wrecked Matt Kenseth at Phoe-
nix after announcing weeks
before that Kenseth had one
coming and NASCAR took
no action.
NASCAR also didnt explain
publicly why Vickers wasnt
punished, and it was discov-
ered days before the season fi-
nale that Keselowski had been
secretly fined $25,000 for crit-
ical comments he made about
fuel injection. At a time when
NASCAR claims to be transpar-
ent, it was back-to-back exam-
ples of the missteps for the se-
ries.
France has promised to re-
evaluate the process of not an-
nouncing all fines during the
offseason.
There are other issues to be
addressed, as well.
At least four major teams are
going away next year one
from Roush Fenway Racing,
one from Richard Childress
Racing and both Red Bull cars
because of sponsorship is-
sues. Kenseth, a former series
champion who challenged for
the title deep into the Chase,
has no funding lined up for
next year, and teamowner Jack
Roush has said hell pay for
Kenseths car out of pocket if he
must.
Roush already has begun lay-
offs as David Ragans Cup team
likely wont exist next season,
and Roush has nowhere to put
Bayne or reigning Nationwide
Series champion Ricky Sten-
house Jr.
After fielding three Nation-
wide cars this season, the team
likely will be down to 1.5 next
year.

Just 20 years old, Trevor
Bayne opened a memorable
Sprint Cup season with an
improbable victory at the
famed Daytona 500 back in
February.
BALTIMORE The Balti-
more Ravens and San Francisco
49ers have thrivedthis seasonbe-
cause they are physical, relent-
less and combative.
Just like their coaches.
The no-holds barred sibling ri-
valry between John and Jim Har-
baugh moves to the national
stage on Thanksgiving night,
when they make NFL history by
becoming the first brothers to
compete on opposite sidelines as
head coaches.
John Harbaugh is seeking to
take the Ravens (7-3) to the play-
offs for the fourthtime inas many
years at the helm. Jim Harbaugh
has turned the 49ers (9-1) into
Super Bowl contenders in his
rookie year as an NFL coach by
instilling his unyielding work
ethic into a workmanlike offense
and the leagues stingiest defense
(14.5 points per game).
The brothers received much of
their football knowledge from
their father, Jack, a longtime col-
lege coach. Their competitive
spirit was honed during endless
duels in almost every game imag-
inable including a few they in-
vented just so they could butt
heads for boasting purposes.
We would play tennis-ball bas-
ketball on a coat hanger rim, big
brother John recalled. We were
throwing balls between tree
branches, I guess, throwing
snowballs against trees. It was
whatever we could think of.
Sometimes it got out of hand.
We have never had a fight as
adults, maybe since we were 25
or something, John said. But
we had some knock-down drag-
outs whenwe were younger. I can
remember my mom screaming,
wailing and crying, Youre broth-
ers! You are not supposed to act
like this! There are probably a lot
of mothers out there that can re-
late to that.
John, 49, andJim, 47, arent the
only pair of brothers who have
dueled while growing up. They
are, however, poised to become
the only ones to take that compe-
tition into an NFL game as head
coaches.
It goes back to how hard both
of them worked to get to where
theyre at today, said Joani
Crean, their younger sister. No-
body said, Oh, youre Jack Har-
baughs son, why dont you come
do this job? They both started
out intheir professions at the bot-
tomrung, so to speak. They both
worked their way up.
Their players know how im-
portant this game is to each
brother.
Theyre both competitive.
Were competitive as a team,
49ers running back Frank Gore
said. It should be a great game.

ARLINGTON, Texas The
Cowboys and Dolphins playing
on Thanksgiving will forever
conjure memories of the 1993
game. Dallas defensive lineman
Leon Lett adding to his blunder-
ful reputation by sliding across
ice and snow to bring alive a
dead ball, setting up Miami for
the winning kick as time ran
out.
With Lett now part of the
Cowboys coaching staff, and
Snickers pushing a lighthearted
Forgive Leon campaign, that
tale seemed likely to be the
most exciting storyline for an-
other holiday meeting between
the clubs.
Nope. Nostalgia has been
shoved to the sideline because
the game itself is shaping up as
a good one.
Both teams go in having won
three straight. For the Cowboys,
its meant a rise into a tie for
first place in the NFC East, and
a chance to take over sole pos-
session at least until the Giants
play Monday night. For the Dol-
phins, its flushed away the
dread from an 0-7 start and re-
placed it with the invaluable
commodity of hope. Matt Moore
has shown he could be the clubs
long-sought solution at quarter-
back and the defense has gone
12 straight quarters without giv-
ing up a touchdown.
Dallas and Miami have played
four times since Letts unthink-
able gaffe, which came 10
months after an equally stun-
ning, though nowhere near as
punitive, mistake in the Super
Bowl. The Dolphins and Cow-
boys have even met on Thanks-
giving twice since then.
Yet this is their first meeting
since the Dolphins have turned
into Cowboys East, with their
general manager, coach, quarter-
back and five more players hav-
ing been with Dallas first, most
going directly from one club to
the other.
We know there are a lot of
guys who have Dallas ties
the Cowboy club, Miami safe-
ty Yeremiah Bell said. But
theyre Dolphins now. We want
to make sure we go there and
give them a good showing on
Thanksgiving.
Only one team will leave
Cowboys Stadium on Sunday
with a four-game winning
streak.
When I was in Dallas, I
thought the three games in (12)
days can change your fortunes
fast one way or the other, said
Miami coach Tony Sparano,
who was with the Cowboys from
2003-07. We talk to the team
about opportunity and we
have a really good opportunity.

NEW YORK Dayton Moore
thought about the changes in
baseballs new labor deal and
wondered how they would im-
pact the Kansas City Royals, who
spent more than $14 million this
year to sign amateur talent, near-
ly half as much as the teams $36
million opening-day payroll.
Obviously, were not going to
have the luxury to do that again,
the general manager said.
With newluxury taxes on both
the June draft and international
signings, baseball owners hopeto
cut down on big bonuses to high
school and college players, as
well as prospects from the Do-
minican Republic and Venezuela.
But whilethemoneymaybere-
allocated, teams dont think that
will make it harder to rebuild
with young talent.
The draft changes, which Ive
heard people argue will hurt
clubs inmarkets like Pittsburgh, I
think will do the exact opposite,
Pirates president Frank Coonelly
said. It will make it so that the
original purpose of the draft is
once again achievable through
the draft, and that is the teams
finishing with the poorest re-
cords should have access to the
very best talent coming into the
game, and the decisions will be
made on talent as opposed to sig-
nability.
Agent Scott Boras negotiated a
record $15.1 million, four-year
contract for Stephen Strasburg
after Washingtonmade the pitch-
er the top pick in the 2009 draft,
then got Bryce Harper a $9.9 mil-
lion, five-year deal after the Na-
tionals took him with the first
pick the following year. UCLA
pitcher Gerrit Cole, the No. 1 se-
lectionthis year, got an$8million
signing bonus fromPittsburgh in
a minor league contract that Bo-
ras negotiated.
Next year, the tax will start if a
teamgoes over aspecifiedtotal of
signing bonuses for the first 10
rounds from $4.5 million to
$11.5 million depending on
when a team selects. Clubs are
likely to be more concerned
about making mistakes.
What this agreement is going
to do, its going to put more of a
premium on very good talent
evaluators, onguys that canbring
talent to the front at low cost,
former New York Mets general
manager Omar Minaya said.
The teams that have the better
evaluators are the ones who are
goingtobe able toget production
from the pool of dollars thats
available to them.
In Latin America, the labor
deal likely will bring an end to
huge contracts for Cuban defec-
tors, such as pitcher Aroldis
Chapmans $30.25 million, six-
year contract with the Cincinnati
Reds in 2010.
And it could impact the deci-
sions of two-sport stars. Notre
Dame All-America wide receiver
Jeff Samardzija signed a $10 mil-
lion, five-year deal with the Chi-
cago Cubs in 2007 after they
drafted himin the fifth round the
previous year. Rather than take a
scholarship to play quarterback
at Nebraska, Bubba Starling
agreed in August to a minor
league contract with the Royals,
who gave a $7.5 million signing
bonus to their first-round pick.

under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy code
after the seizure of two of its subsidi-
aries by regulators in Arizona.
PMI says it intends to use bankrupt-
cy protection to assess its options in
light of the action taken by the Arizona
Department of Insurance.
Last month, insurance regulators in
Arizona seized PMIs main subsidiaries
in the state because the companies did
not have enough money on hand to
meet state requirements.
Groupon shares tumble
Groupon Inc.s stock fell below its
initial public offering price for the first
time as investors reassess the challeng-
es facing the still-unprofitable online
deals company in a shaky economy.
The shares plunged $3.11, or 145.5
percent, to $16.96 Wednesday, well
below Groupons IPO price of $20,
which was set less than three weeks
ago. Groupon has shed one-third of its
market value since the end of last week
to wipe out nearly $6 billion in share-
holder wealth.
Nokia Siemens cutting jobs
Wireless equipment maker Nokia
Siemens Networks will slash 17,000
jobs almost one-quarter of its work
force in a move to cut annual costs
by 1 billion euros ($1.35 billion) by
2013, company officials said Wednes-
day.
The joint venture between Finlands
Nokia Corp. and Siemens AG of Ger-
many said it would focus on mobile
broadband networks and services as it
slims down with a view to becoming an
independent company.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N B
timesleader.com
The holi-
day shopping
season is
officially
upon us a
seasonal
embarrass-
ment of riches and deals that
whip normally placid store-
goers into a froth and leave
businesses ransacked, their
bare shelves exposed for all to
see. Even in tough economic
times this seems to be true,
and proves the point that,
relatively speaking, America is
still a rich, prosperous country.
Late November also seems
to be the time that newcon-
sumer electronics are
launched. Manufacturers are
hoping for big sales numbers
fromtheir flagship product
lines.
I dont see what all the fuss
is about. Online retailers like
Amazon, and even websites for
brick-and-mortar stores such
as Best Buy, often have sales
that are at least as good as
anything youll find in the
stores. So on Black Friday, Ill
be doing my Christmas shop-
ping sitting by the fireplace
with my feet up.
There is, to be sure, a viscer-
al satisfaction of bludgeoning
fellowshoppers with display
items in an effort to grab that
$100 LCDTV, but what really
gets me is the traffic. The last
thing I want to do on a day off
is sit in the car snarling at
other drivers. Its just not
worth it.
The holidays are stressful
enough, between unpredict-
able weather, last-minute prep-
arations and trying to pull
family gatherings together.
Looking at it objectively, we
kick off each holiday season
with a ritualized struggle for
resources the holiday deals
and quaintly named door
busters that people swarm
over the second theyre let into
the store. Id prefer to spend a
fewextra dollars and save the
time and stress.
If modern technology has
conferred one blessing upon
us, its the ability to have con-
sumer electronics dropped off
at our house with the click of a
mouse button.
But in spite of the commer-
cial and technological on-
slaught of modern life, if one
holiday out of the year offers
proof that this country at its
core still respects family val-
ues, its Thanksgiving. For
most, the cell phones and
computers are off, and save for
the occasional football game,
the holiday is still celebrated
today just as it has been for the
last hundred years: families
coming together and eating a
home-cooked meal.
Today, Thanksgiving Day,
comes before Black Friday
just as, in my opinion, spend-
ing time with your family
comes before spending money
on gadgets. Tomorrow, any-
thing goes, and grandma is on
her own if she gets in the way
of that Playstation 3.
Lets mark Thanksgiving, Black Friday in that order

WASHINGTONAt the start of the
critical holiday shopping season, the
economy received a dose of mixed
news Wednesday.
Consumers barely increased their
spending in October, and businesses
pulled back on investment in long-last-
ing manufactured goods. Still, Ameri-
cans pay rose by the most in seven
months, a sign they may spend more.
Some economists were discouraged
by the reports, especially after a sepa-
rate report earlier this month showed
Americans spent more on retail goods
in October for the fifth straight month.
Paul Dales, a senior U.S. economist
with Capital Economics, expects just
2.5 percent growthinsteadof 3 percent
in the October-December quarter.
Consumer spending increased 0.1
percent last month, the Commerce De-
partment said. It was the poorest gain
in four months. Spending on durable
goods such as autos showed a solid in-
crease. But spending on nondurable
goods, such as food and clothing, fell.
Todays report was a goodreminder
that much of what consumers spend
their money on is not purchased at the
shopping mall, but is rather spent on
their homes and on their health, said
James Marple, senior economist at TD
Economics. With services spending
making up 65 percent of total con-
sumption expenditures, the poor per-
formance here more than made up for
the continued gains in spending on
goods.
The report also showed that Amer-
icans earned more in October. Income
increased 0.4 percent last month, the
best showing since March. Private
wages and salaries drove the gain.
Economic
picture
is mixed
LAS VEGAS Shifting focus in
the face of declining domestic vis-
itors, Las Vegas tourism officials are
betting that a new air terminal will
lure some travelers to use Las Vegas
as a regular stopover en route to Asia
or other foreign places.
Some might never leave McCarran
International Airport, while others
might decide to make casinos happy
by hopping in a cab and spending a
few hours gambling.
Either way is fine with the airport
it just needs enough people trav-
eling here to justify a $2.4 billion ex-
pansion conceived when Las Vegas
was much busier. The new terminal
opens in June.
The city still expects most visitors
to vacation here for longer periods,
but the newtactic marks a big change
from past years when Vegas could
count on filling planes solely as a des-
tination. Since the Great Recession
crushed tourism, airlines have can-
celed Vegas-bound routes and left ca-
sinos scrambling for customers.
The new terminal would also let
travelers heading to Asia or else-
where avoid longer lines at customs
in Los Angeles or San Francisco and
take advantage of cheap fares to Ve-
gas.
At the same time, airport and tou-
rism officials are pitching the new
terminal to airlines based outside the
United States as a destination for di-
rect service, pointing to regular ser-
vice from England, South Korea and
Mexico as successes that justify more
international flights here without
stops elsewhere first.
Korean Air flies directly from Las
Vegas to Seoul three times per week,
and is looking to increase to daily
flights.

The major
improvement in
our weather evi-
dent this morn-
ing is a sign of
more good
weather to come
this week. With
a large zone of
high pressure
centered close
by to our south,
the winds will
back toward the
west later today
then toward the
south tomorrow.
This will allow
for mild after-
noon tempera-
tures and dry
weather from
now through
Saturday night.
Our next chance
for rain will
come late in the
day on Sunday
or at night. I
also see a
chance for rain
Monday morning
for deer hunting.
On Thanksgiving
Day last year, we
had snow, sleet
and rain. I sup-
pose this year
we can be espe-
cially thankful.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Rain, snow and breezy to windy conditions will be likely over western
Washington, western Oregon and the northern Cascades today. Rain and snow showers will also
extend from northern and central California into the northern Rockies. High pressure will allow for
plenty of sunshine from the Plains to the Eastern Seaboard.

her college degree.
For her, time is a commodity
that is extremely hard to come
by. And according to a newstudy,
as a college student she is not
alone.
According to the findings of
the non-profit organization Com-
plete College America, 75 per-
cent of students today are college
commuters, juggling families,
jobs and school. And the major
factor preventing many from
completing their degrees is time
or to be more exact, the lack of
it.
These competing demands are
forcing many of todays students
to stay in school longer, which,
according to the study, can se-
verely hurt their chances of ac-
tually completing their degrees.
As the clock runs, students
lives fill up with jobs, relation-
ships, marriages, children and
mortgages. The list goes on and
on, said the founder of Com-
plete College America, Stan
Jones.
And with the majority of stu-
dents taking at least six years to
complete a bachelors degree,
Jones said its time that colleges
rethink the way they structure
their programs.
Colleges need to realize that
the way that they are doing
things isnt working, he said.
His organizations report,
Timeis theEnemy, says thekey
to increasing graduation rates is
creating programs that help stu-
dents make better use of their
time rather than let them waste
it on excess credits, remedial
classes and attending part time.
Many colleges and universities
acknowledge the need to help
students complete their degrees
in a timely fashion.
Bergen Community College is
attacking the problem by getting
students on the right track early.
With the aid of a $2.9 million Ti-
tle 5 grant, the college has imple-
mented an institution-wide pro-
gram 1-2-3 Connect to im-
prove academic success and stu-
dent retention.
The programconsists of a sum-
mer orientation and two not-for-
credit courses that focus on giv-
ing first-year students the advice
and mentoring they need to suc-
ceed.
Research and data shows that
students who see success in their
first three semesters tend to con-
tinue that success, said Jose
Adames, president of Bergen,
N.J., Community College.
While some students do not
succeedbecause theydonot have
time to complete their assign-
ments, other students can com-
plete their work faster when giv-
en the opportunity to work at
their own pace.
This is exactly the idea behind
the new math computer lab on
campus that allows students to
take a virtual course at their own
pace rather than over a 15-week
semester, often completing the
work in as little as six weeks.
Its amazing what students
can do when they are given the
flexibility to work at their own
speed, Adames said.
Passaic County Community
College, meanwhile, is working
with the national non-profit
Achieving the Dream to figure
out what factors interfere with
student achievement. Steven
Rose, president of the college,
said the school will consider im-
provements in course offerings,
scheduling, remediation and ad-
visement.
There is no magic bullet or
one-size-fits-all solution to the is-
sues that prevent some of our stu-
dents from completing, but it all
starts with creating new path-
ways and strategies, Rose said.
At Montclair State University,
a newoffice was created especial-
ly to address issues that prevent
students from completing their
degrees. Headed by Tara Zulo,
the new Academic Success and
Retention Program aims to
change the way students think
about completing their degrees.
We want to change I wish
there was something I could do
into Lets see what we can do,
said Zulo, whose department is
focusingonhelpingMontclair se-
niors and juniors complete their
course work.
Sometimes all they need is
one or two courses to graduate,
and they dont even knowit, she
said.
Some community-college rep-
resentatives think it is a mistake
for students to transfer to four-
year institutions before complet-
ing their associates degrees.
If they graduate, then no mat-
ter what happens they always
have that associates degree to
fall back on, said Stefani Gjor-
gievska, student president of the
Bergen Community College
chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, an
honor societyfor students at two-
year colleges.
This year, Gjorgievska and her
fellowPhi Theta Kappa members
have chosen to spread this mess-
age through a yearlong project
called Commit to Complete. The
message behind their cause may
be simple, but it has the potential
to make a world of difference for
students who are willing to take
advantage of the opportunities of
an associates degree.
It doesnt make sense not to
graduate all it can do is help
you as you continue your educa-
tion or start your career, said
Gjorgievska, who urges students
to consider the time that is wast-
ed when four-year colleges refuse
to accept community-college
credits.
While colleges often offer stu-
dents flexibleoptions suchas tak-
ing courses online and on Satur-
days and during the winter and
summer, students often have in-
flexible jobs that interfere with
writing papers and finishing as-
signments.
At Bergen Community Col-
lege, Alicia R. Graham found a
way to inject more time into her
day by working at her campus
admissions office.
Working at school was one of
the best decisions I made. Where
else is your manager going to
give youtime tostudyor catchup
on work? said Graham, who
hopes that in the long run choos-
ing education over money will
pay big dividends.
Full-time jobs that prevent stu-
dents from attending school full
time could cost students more
because of the loss of financial
aid, some experts warn. That is
what Dina Razafy, 23, of Lodi,
N.J., found during his first two
years of taking part-time classes
at Bergen Community College.
Part time was tough with-
out financial aid, I had to work
full-time to keep up with paying
for school, said Razafy, who quit
his job as a cashier and now
works as a valet on nights and
weekends to give himself more
time for school.
Its that kind of decision that
Alicia R. Grahamwished she had
made years ago before she left
school withwhat turnedout tobe
87 non-transferable credits.
Trust me, if youre willing to
do it do it when you are
young, said Graham, who hopes
that a degree inbusiness manage-
ment will lead to her dream of
owning her own business one
day.

Cant calculate a tip or even
balance your checkbook?
Take heart; maybe you can
blame your brain specifically,
theparietal cortexinthetopback
part of the head. Andit couldbe a
problem that has roots not in a
failed arithmetic or new math
lesson, but even earlier.
Recent findings indicate that
how well 3-year-olds estimate
quantities predicts their math
ability in elementary school. An-
other study funded by the Na-
tional Institutes of Health
showed that the innate capacity
to estimate is impaired in chil-
dren who have a math learning
disability.
The findings are so new that
theres no widely acceptedway to
diagnose whats knownas dyscal-
culia (dis-cal-KOO-lia), nor any
set strategies for coping with it
eventhough5percent to8per-
cent of the population is thought
so suffer from math learning dis-
ability. Consider it the mathe-
matical partner to dyslexia,
which impairs reading ability.
But while researchers have ex-
plored causes of dyslexia and de-
veloped strategies for compen-
sating, the study of dyscalculia
lags about 30 years behind. As a
result, many people remain sty-
mied by math. And math dys-
function is socially accepted.
I hate math so much, said
Juan Mendoza, 21. He has taken
intermediate algebra six times at
San Jose City College but has al-
ways droppedout part way. Final-
ly, a teacher explained formulas
in an understandable way. Just
like hes overcome his dyslexia,
he said, maybe researchers will
find a way to better teach differ-
ently wired brains.
The ability to estimate is an
oft-tapped skill that, for example,
helps waiting shoppers deter-
mine which checkout line is like-
ly to move faster at the grocery
store. And understanding the
cause of the disability could lead
to identifying children at risk of
failingmathanddevelopingways
to help them.
Childrenarebeingconsidered
lazy or unmotivated, or not to
have potential, when in fact they
have a disability in processing
numbers, said Michele M.M.
Mazzocco, the leadresearcher on
the studies. We need to learn
how this can be overcome.
Mazzocco and colleagues at
the Kennedy Krieger Institute in
Baltimore began tracking 249
kindergartners in public schools
in 1997. She found large differ-
ences in childrens estimation
skills. Even as ninth-graders,
some who vieweda set of colored
dots flashed briefly on a screen
found it difficult to consistently
estimate the number, or to distin-
guish quantities, such as 20 dots
from15 dots.
To tell how many dots we see
or to compare quantities, the
brain taps into its approximate
number system. Mazzocco
found that students in the bot-
tom 10 percent of math achieve-
ment lagged in those estimation
skills. But that doesnt apply to
everyone who doesnt get
math; the study found that chil-
dren in the bottom 11 percent to
25 percent had no problem with
estimation.
What dyscalculic children lack
is number sense, something
that most people take for granted
but is a construct that cant al-
ways be taught.
You cant just tell somebody
that 8 is more than 4, Mazzocco
said. Its not like memorizing
states and their capitals.
Just like dyslexics, children
suffering from dyscalculia may
be intelligent, she said. They are
processing information different-
ly.
More research could lead to
ways to help people who struggle
withmath, saidDaniel Ansari, an
associate professor of psycholo-
gy at the University of Western
Ontario.
Ansaris studies have shown
that children with dyscalculia
dont activate the parietal cortex,
which is critical for number proc-
essing, in the same way that oth-
er children do. Researchers still
dont know why, nor whether in-
activity in that lobe of the brain
causes the math problem or is a
symptom of the disability.
Its a severely underinvesti-
gated disorder, Ansari said.
But what happens as children
fail in arithmetic, he said, is that
some develop math anxiety and
then want to shun the subject.
A survey released last month
seems to bear that out. The for-
profit Sylvan Learning reports
that about one-third of 400 chil-
dren surveyed would sacrifice a
month of video gaming or going
on Facebook if they could never
have to do algebra again, and 71
percent of 534 parents surveyed
think helping children with alge-
bra is harder than teaching them
to drive.

Holy Redeemer High School recently inducted its 2011-2012 Student Leadership Council. Each member received a pin at the ceremony,
which was part of a special school Mass. Council members represent Holy Redeemers classes, homerooms and student body and are elected
or appointed. They coordinate service projects and activities throughout the year and serve as advisers to the administration. Members also
act as ambassadors within the community and assist in church and community projects. They must meet specific academic and character
standards. Student Leadership Council officers for the 2011-2012 school year are Sarah Cavanaugh, president; Michael Martin, vice president;
Julia Wignot, secretary; and David Gawlas, treasurer. Vice Principal Michael Booth is council adviser. Shown are SLC members, first row, from

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: A while
back you asked your
readers to name their
heroes. May I
contribute?
My heroes are
nameless, often
faceless and in most
cases unsung. They will never have
15 minutes of fame. Their deeds
wont be recorded in history books,
but their kindness inspires and their
good deeds will forever affect the
lives of others though some may
not realize it.
My heroes are parents, grandpar-
ents, aunts, uncles, cousins, foster
parents, teachers and playground
monitors who teach others to have
values and common sense, and to be
ethical in their treatment of others.
My heroes are the guys on the gar-
bage truck who take a few extra sec-
onds to pick up the items that didnt
make it into the truck and make sure
your receptacle is upright and undam-
aged before moving on to the next
house; grownups who hold childrens
hands in parking lots to keep them
safe; teachers who stay after school
to help a student struggling with
homework, a troubled home life or
homelessness.
My heroes are strangers on streets
and in buildings who take a moment
to ask if they can help you because
of the uncertain expression on your
face; every shelter worker who has
ever cried when a homeless or abused
creature was euthanized; my dear
father, whose strong hands, often
bruised and bloodied, made a living
for his family, who gently held his
frightened little girl and who often
shared more than he could afford
with others less fortunate than he.
Julie in Scott City, Mo.
Dear Julie: Thank you for taking the
time to describe your many heroes.
On this day of all days, let us all give
thanks for those individuals who have
made and continue to make a
positive difference in our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Love, Abby
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, Louis,
is retired. Im in school studying law,
which means a tremendous amount
of homework.
At night when I should be studying,
Louis gets upset if I dont knock off
by 9 or 9:30. He also gets upset if I
start before 9 in the morning. He has
never asked me what I need from him
to help me accomplish what I have to
do. He also never asks what Im doing
in my classes without turning around
and accusing me of doing the profes-
sors job.
Abby, this man insists he has never
been so much in love, and thats why
he wants to spend so much time
with me. I think he should show his
love by supporting me in challenging
times. Your opinion?
Rose in Washington
Dear Rose: Your boyfriend is self-
centered. Hes clearly less interested
in your interests than in his own. Law
school is challenging, even when a
student doesnt have someone try-
ing to sabotage her efforts which
Louis appears to be doing morning
and night. You have an important
decision to make about your future,
because your law degree is likely to
last longer than your relationship
with Louis, and thats what I think
you should put first.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Everyday heroes perform the small deeds that deserve big thanks
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
feel driven to spread your love
of humanity to everyone. Your
conversation hovers around the
most interesting and uplifting
news youve heard.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
will know that youre an integral
part of whats happening in your
group. Youll get the sense that
youre leading the action.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
exercise your creative muscles
and express yourself with flair.
There will be more options avail-
able to you than you could pos-
sibly sample in one day, though
youll certainly try!
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
be among a mix of loved ones
and strangers, and youll feel
that in many ways the world
is one big community. People
around you will be thankful that
you were part of their day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Counteract
the days heightened level of
excitement with moments of
deep breathing, fresh air and
solitude. Ten minutes to yourself
will ensure that your mood is
consistently wonderful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll
take extra measures to make
everyone comfortable. In an
effort to see things the way your
loved ones see things, youll put
yourself in different positions,
figuratively and, wherever pos-
sible, actually.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll
be inclined to hustle all day if
you let yourself, but dont. Your
enjoyment will be amplified if
you relax into moments of fun
instead of constantly noticing all
the work to be done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
hear kind words of support, and
youll mentally speak to yourself
in an encouraging way. All the
positive reinforcement will help
you make this day truly memo-
rable for you and yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
It has something to do with the
way you dig into life with a sense
of whimsy and fun. By the end
of the day, youll be even more
popular.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
approach the day with some
solemnity, and theres an atmo-
sphere of importance around
you. The respect you give to
loved ones comes like a fast boo-
merang back to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
understand what it means to
have an attitude of gratitude,
and youll teach those who are
younger how to show and feel
appreciation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
ignore the little glitches and
change the plan as often as nec-
essary. Youll let nothing keep
you from your goal of creating
a shared experience with the
people you love.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov. 24).
Relationships will be healed this
year. Youll spend quality time
with those who are most dear
to you. Youll buzz with electric
insight into matters of business
in January. You will be wiling to
take greater risks because you
have a prescient sense that the
return will be high. Cancer and
Libra people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 44, 31
and 30.
