America was in shock on Sun-
day, Dec. 7, 1941.
Early that morning, an attack
by 353 aircraft from six carriers
of the Imperial Japanese Navy
had devastated the U.S. naval
base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
More than 2,400 Americans
had been killed, and some of the
largest ships of the Navy in-
cluding eight battleships had
been sunk or badly damaged.
Many people feared an invasion
of Hawaii or an attack on the
West Coast was imminent.
The next day, the United
States declared war on Japan.
American participation in
World War II had begun, and

ATLANTA A defiant Her-
man Cain suspended his falter-
ing bid for the Republican presi-
dential nomination Saturday
amid a drumbeat of sexual mis-
conduct allegations against
him, throwing his staunchly
conservative supporters up for
grabs with just one month to go
before the lead-off caucuses in
Iowa.
Cain condemned the accusa-
tions as false and unproven
but saidtheyhadbeenhurtful to
his family, particularly his wife,
Gloria, and were drowning out
his ability to deliver his mess-
age. His wife stood behind him
on the stage,
smiling and
waving as the
crowd chant-
ed her name.
So as of to-
day, with a lot
of prayer and
soul-search-
ing, I am suspending my presi-
dential campaign because of the
continued distractions and the
continued hurt caused on me
and my family, a tired-looking
Cain told about 400 supporters.

NEW YORK Former Penn
State defensive coordinator Jer-
ry Sandusky maintains he never
sexually abused children and
portrays himself in a New York
Times interview as a father-like
figure to the
kids in his life.
The New
York Times re-
ported Satur-
day that Sand-
usky also in-
sisted he never
spoke with Joe
Paterno about
any allegations
of misconduct.
Theyve tak-
en everything
that I ever did
for any young
person and
twisted it to say
that my mo-
tives were sex-
ual or whatev-
er, Sandusky
said. I had kid
after kid after
kid who might
say I was a fa-
ther figure. And
they just twist-
ed that all.
Sandusky has been charged
with 40 counts of molesting
eight boys over 15 years and is
free on bail while awaiting a pre-
liminary hearing Dec. 13. A
grand jury investigating Sandus-
ky said in a report that some of
the assaults occurred in the
Penn State football showers, in-
cluding a 2002 allegation in
which a graduate assistant

WILKES-BARRE Henrietta
Hank Rose was setting tables
onThursdayat theSt. Vincent de
Paul Kitchen. Rose, 68, said she
volunteers every day at the kitch-
en to justify getting a meal every
day. She doesnt want anything
for nothing
Thank God we have a kitchen
like this, she
said. So many
people need
help.
Rose is far
from alone.
The demand
for food, cloth-
ing and shelter
has been rising
steadily in Lu-
zerne County,
according to
officials in-
volved with
agencies that
provide the
goods and ser-
vices. As more
people ask for
assistance,
raising ade-
quate dona-
tions has be-
come more
challenging for
the agencies
serving a re-
gion with a
stubbornly
high unem-
ployment rate.
Ann Marie
McCawley, has
been the direc-
tor at St. Vincent dePaul Kitchen
on East Jackson Street for 25 of
its 29 years of operation. In re-
cent years she said there has
been a noticeable increase in re-
quests for assistance.
Some 400 to 450 people arrive
at the kitchens doorstep each
day for meals.
It used to be that we were
busier at the end of the month,
but now, we have the same num-
ber of people every day,
McCawley said. And there are
new faces every day people

PLAINS TWP. When
hard times compel cuts to a
household budget, a familys
best friends are sometimes
the losers.
Since the economic melt-
down of 2008, the Luzerne
County Chapter of the Socie-
ty for the Prevention of Cru-
elty to Animals has seen a
sharp rise in surrendered
pets.
Cary Moran, education
and volunteer director, said
more pets than usual are
waiting for a good family.
During this down econo-
my, weve seen more drop-
offs and less adoptions,
Moran said. And weve seen
more cases of animal cruelty
because pet owners dont
have the money to properly
care for or feed their pets.
Moran said the local SPCA
has about 150 to 200 cats in
residence and 60 dogs and 15
rabbits.

More than a dozen uniquely

were on display. Light refresh-
ments were served and musical
entertainment was provided by
the Dallas Middle School Select

wish I could have all those trees
in my house to wake up to every
morning, she said, as she waited
withher family to see her brother

This is a wonderful way to
bring people together before the
holidays, said college President

times, people really need to sit
back and enjoy each other.
Pointing out that the holidays
canbe a lonely time for some peo-

MOSCOW Russias long
dominant party appeared likely
to lose its edge as voters across
the sprawling country cast bal-
lots for Parliament on Sunday,
many of them frustrated over
corruption and the gap between
ordinary Russians andthe super-
rich.
Prime Minister Vladimir Pu-
tins United Russia party has sig-
naled it is worried about polls
showing it could receive only a
bit more than half the votes,
cracking down on an independ-
ent election monitor and warn-
ing of political instability.
The Kremlin is determined to
see United Russia maintain its
two-thirds majority, an unassail-
able dominance that allows it to
amend the constitution. Both
Putin and President Dmitry
Medvedev made final appeals
for the party on Friday, the last
day of campaigning, warning
that a parliament made up of di-
verse political camps would be
incapable of making decisions.
The view underlines Russian
authorities continuing discom-
fort with political pluralism and
preference for top-down oper-
ation. As president in 2000-
2008, Putins strongman leader-
ship style won wide support
among Russians exhausted by a
decade of post-Soviet uncertain-
ty.

PLAINS TOWNSHIP Penn
State students canvassed for
cash and celebrated Saturday to
support the universitys annual
THON dance marathon.
The fundraiser, which bene-
fits children undergoing treat-
ment for cancer, has been an an-
nual institution in State College
since 1973, but this years mara-
thon will be the first since the
Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse
scandal rocked the Penn State
campus.
Volunteers Tuesday said the
scandal isnt something they
canignore, but theydidnt feel it
had a negative impact on their
fundraising efforts.
Honestly, it wasalwaysinthe
back of everyones mind, said
student Brittany DeGrazia, 21,
of Patterson, N.Y. But you have
to just hope people realize were
doing it for the right reasons,
andwe didnt encounter anyone
that wanted to shut us down or
anything like that.
I think that our community
ingeneral is reallysadandupset
over it, but (THON) is some-
thing that over 15,000 people
are involved with, said Liz
McHugh, one of the organizers
of the local fundraiser.
McHugh, 21, of Pittston, and
Melissa Ripepi, 21, of Harrison
City, Westmoreland County,
canvassed for donations with
other current students Saturday
morning and hosted a fundrais-
ing party at the River Grille in
the evening in an effort to win a
spot in Februarys dance mara-
thon.
Students entering as inde-
pendents, as opposed to
through a student organization,
can enter a lottery to win one of
700 spots in the marathon if
theyraisemorethan$2,500, and
gain another chance for every
$500 they raise over that
amount.
Thepair saidtheyhadcollect-
ed about $3,000 by the end of
the day Saturday.
If anything, student volun-
teers said the Sandusky scan-
dals impact may have actually
helpedtheir efforts incollecting
money.
I sawmore support thannor-
mal,saidstudent CharlieAllen,
22, of West Pittston. This areas
very pro-Penn State, especially
having the local campus. I feel
like we saw people step up and
trytohelpout PennStates repu-
tation.
A lot of alumni have been in-
volved in THON, Ripepi said.
Like today, some people stop-
pedthat hadPennState stickers
on their cars. You could see that
they were willing to give a little
more.
This years THON is sched-
uled for Feb. 17-19 in the Bryce
JordanCenter onthePennState
main campus in State College.
Since 1973, the event has raised
morethan$78milliontobenefit
children undergoing treatment
for cancer through The Four
Diamonds Fund at Penn State
Hershey Childrens Hospital.
Last year more than 15,000
student volunteers helped to
raise more than $9.5 million.

THON fundraiser organizer
FOSTER TWP. Hosts and hostess-
es in period dress welcomed guests to
the Victorian Christmas at Eckley Min-
ers Village on Saturday.
The
yuletide observance featured a beauti-
fully decorated Victorian showplace in
seasonal colors and accoutrements.
As guests entered the period home,
they were greeted by an impressively
dressed Christmas tree off of the foyer
and were escorted by nattily dressed
volunteers to a formal dinning roomre-
plete with a delicious selection of sea-
sonal cookies, pastries and teas.
A number of vendors were stationed
throughout the house selling every-
thing from holiday crafts to estate jew-
elry.
A silent auction featuring original
artwork and period collectors was
conducted to raise money for the
historic sites continued upkeep.
This fundraising event was
necessary because our funding
and staff were recently cut by
50 percent, said event orga-
nizer Karen Esak. Were ac-
tually anticipating another
financial hit in January.
Esak, who lives at
the village and is the chief tour guide,
said the recent budgetary cuts have
causedher tostart takingupthe mantle
of fundraiser.
Many of the period decorations for
the Victorian holiday event were hand
crafted by Hazleton Area High School
senior Molly Maloney of Freeland.
I had a number of family members
who actually lived here in the village,
said Maloney, who plans to study histo-
ry at Penn State in the fall. Ive always

The past comes alive
Bookseller Barnes &Noblehopes to
help the flood-ravaged West Pittston
Librarybyhostingaholidaybookdrive
at its Wilkes-Barre Township store.
ThestoreintheArenaHubPlazahas
hosted the book drive as part of a na-
tional programfor several years andin
previous years donated books to char-
itable organizations such as Catholic
Social Services andtheChildrens Mir-
acle Network, but
this is the first year
proceeds will go to a
library.
This year it was
just a no-brainer;
they needed our
help, saidstorespo-
keswoman Donna
Wench. They lost
everything, not only
the building but ev-
erything in the
building.
Under the pro-
gram, Barnes & No-
ble shoppers may
purchaseanewbook
of their choice or
choose one from a
wish list submitted
by the library. The
drive runs until Jan.
1.
The bookseller
will also donate up
to 20 percent of purchases made be-
tweenDec.11andDec.13atanyBarnes
&Noble store, or online through Dec.
18, to the library. Customers at the
Wilkes-Barre Township store need on-
ly ask to participate in the program at
check-out time, whilecustomers shop-
ping at other locations or online need
to mention the West Pittston Librarys
code: 10591287.
The library on Exeter Avenue was
devastated by the September flood. It
lost morethan14,000books, including
volumes stored for its annual book
sale, as well as computer equipment,

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.
McGovern is hospitalized
F
ormer Democratic presidential
candidate George McGovern was
alert, comfortable and in stable condi-
tion at a South Dakota hospital Sat-
urday after hitting his head during a
fall, hospital officials said.
The 89-year-old former U.S. senator
was taken by helicopter to a Sioux Falls
hospital late Friday after falling outside
Dakota Wesleyan Universitys McGov-
ern Library in Mitchell. A school offi-
cial said McGovern hit his head on the
pavement about two hours before he
was scheduled to appear on a live C-
SPAN interview at the library.
The statement said McGovern was
in stable condition, though no other
details were released.
The former South Dakota senator
has lived in St. Augustine, Fla., since
2008 but also has a home in Mitchell.
McGovern was elected to his first of
three terms in the Senate in 1962.
Though he later lost the 1972 presi-
dential race to Richard Nixon, he con-
tinued to distinguish himself during his
political career and was a lifelong ad-
vocate for U.S. and world food pro-
grams.
CHICAGO
Sentencing for ex-governor
As Rod Blagojevich steps before a
sentencing judge, the impeached Illi-
nois governor might do well to sup-
press the cocksure, perpetual cam-
paigner in him and conjure up a lesser-
known figure: The humble, contrite
family man.
Whether he can pull that off at the
hearing beginning Tuesday may play a
role in determining the sentence im-
posed for his 18 convictions, including
that Blagojevich sought to auction off
the Senate seat Barack Obama was
vacating to become president.
The former governor has never wa-
vered in insisting on his innocence,
from his celebrity turns on national
television to his gabby days on the
witness stand. But even a hint of obsti-
nacy in court could anger Judge James
Zagel and scuttle any hopes Blagojev-
ich harbors of a lesser sentence.
CAIRO
Victors reassure people
Egypts Muslim Brotherhood, emerg-
ing as the biggest winner in the first
round of parliamentary elections,
sought Saturday to reassure Egyptians
that it would not sacrifice personal
freedoms in promoting Islamic law.
The deputy head of the Brother-
hoods new political party, Essam el-
Erian, told The Associated Press in a
telephone interview that the group is
not interested in imposing Islamic
values on Egypt, home to a sizable
Christian minority and others who
object to being subject to strict Islamic
codes.
We represent a moderate and fair
party, el-Erian said of his Freedom and
Justice Party.
CARACAS, VENEZUELA
Leaders form new bloc
Leaders from across Latin America
and the Caribbean pledged closer ties
to safeguard their economies from the
world financial crisis as they formed a
new bloc on Saturday including every
nation in the hemisphere except the
U.S. and Canada.
Several presidents stressed during
the two-day summit that they hope to
ride out turbulent times by boosting
local industries and increasing trade
within the region.

NEW YORK An 85-year-old New
York grandmother said Saturday she
was injured and humiliated when she
was strip searched at an airport after
she asked to be patted down instead of
going through a body scanner.
Lenore Zimmerman said she was tak-
en to a private room and made to take
off her pants and other clothes after she
asked to forgo the screening because
she worried it would interfere with her
defibrillator. She missed her flight and
had to take one 2 1/2 hours later, she
said.
Im hunched over. Im in a wheel-
chair. I weigh under 110 pounds, she
said from her winter home at a seniors
community in Coconut Creek, Fla. Do
I look like a terrorist?
But the Transportation Security Ad-
ministration said in a statement Satur-
day no strip search was conducted.
While we regret that the passenger
feels she had an unpleasant screening
experience, TSA does not include strip
searches as part of our security proto-
cols and one was not conducted in this
case, the statement read.
Zimmerman was dropped off by her
son at Kennedy Airport for a 1 p.m.
flight Tuesday to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
on JetBlue, she said. She arrived to the
ticket counter around 12:20 p.m. and
headed for security in a wheelchair, her
small, metal walker in her lap.
Shes been traveling to Florida for at
least a decade and has never had a prob-
lem being patted down until now, she
said. I worry about my heart, so I dont
want to go through those things, she
said, referring to the advanced image
technology screening machines now in
place at the airport.
As a result, she said, she was taken in-
to the private screening room by one
agent and made to strip.
Private screening was requested by
the passenger, it was granted and lasted
approximately 11 minutes, the state-
ment read. TSA screening procedures
are conducted in a manner designed to
treat all passengers with dignity, re-
spect and courtesy and that occurred in
this instance.
The private screeningwas not record-
ed.

WASHINGTON Virginia
Tech says it acted appropriately
in alerting the campus that
bloody spring day in 2007 during
what turned out to be the dead-
liest mass shooting in modern
U.S. history.
The government disagrees
and has levied $55,000 in fines,
contending the school was too
slow in notifying students, facul-
ty and staff and therefore in vio-
lation of a federal law requiring
timely warnings when there are
safety threats.
The university gets a chance
Wednesday to
begin making
its case before
an Education
Department
administrative
judge, Ernest
C. Canellos, in
hopes of eras-
ing a fine that
isnt hefty but
can leave a
black mark on
an institutions
record.
The fines were levied under a
law known as the Clery Act,
which requires colleges and uni-
versities to provide warnings in a
timely manner and to report the
number of crimes on campus.
During the Obama administra-
tion, theres been a ramping up
in enforcement under the act,
which has gotten recent atten-
tion because of scandals at Penn
State and Syracuse.
Investigators have been on the
Penn State campus for a Clery
Act investigation into whether
the university failed to report in-
cidents of sexual abuse in con-
nection to allegations against
former assistant football coach
Jerry Sandusky. An Education
Department spokesman said the
department is also reviewing
whether a similar investigation
will take place at Syracuse.
Three men, including two for-
mer ballboys, have accused for-
mer assistant basketball coach
Bernie Fine of molesting them
as minors.

MANCHESTER, N.H. The once-
bursting 2012 Republican presidential
field is narrowing to a two-man race, and
GOP voters have one month before cast-
ing the first votes to winnow it to one.
Barring a dramatic new turn, their chief
options will be the steady but often bland
demeanor of Mitt Romney andthe idea-a-
minute bombast of Newt Gingrich.
Herman Cains suspension of his cam-
paign Saturday and Texas Gov. Rick Per-
rys continued struggles to regain trac-
tion have focused the partys attention on
Romney, the former Massachusetts gov-
ernor, and Gingrich, the former House
speaker. They offer striking contrasts in
personality, government experience and
campaign organization, with Gingrich
having only a scant infrastructure in the
early voting states.
At a town hall meeting in New York
sponsored by tea party supporters, Gin-
grich declined to characterize the race as
a direct contest between himself and
Romney. Any of the remaining GOP con-
tenders could stage a comeback before
the Iowa caucuses, Gingrich said, just as
he had after his campaign nearly implod-
ed last summer.
Im not going to say that any of my
friends cant suddenly surprise us, Gin-
grich said, noting that Texas Rep. Ron
Paul has a strong organization in Iowa
and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann
is an Iowa native.
Its now a 2 man race for GOP
Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich
proceed carefully with Herman Cain
out of the picture.

The unrest has steadily be-

refer to it this week as a civil
war andurge the international
community to protect Syrian

Sanctions by the United

Turkey and the 22-member
Arab League have so far failed
to blunt the turmoil.

testifiedhesawSanduskymolest-
ing a young boy.
University trustees fired Pater-
nomajor collegefootballswin-
ningest coach on Nov. 9, four
days after charges were filed
against Sandusky, amid mount-
ing criticism that school leaders
shouldhavedonemorewhenalle-
gations came to their attention.
During a lengthy interview
with The New York Times at his
lawyers home, Sandusky painted
a picture of chaotic but friendly
scenes involving children he de-
scribed as extended family at his
State College, Pa., home. There
were sleepovers, wrestling
matches, and children playing
with dogs at the house after foot-
ball games.
The descriptions sharply con-
trast with the shocking allega-
tions involving children outlined
inthegrandjuryreport, including
oral andanal sex. Oneaccusation,
from 2000, describes a janitor
walking into the assistant coach-
es shower roomandseeingSand-
uskyholdingaboyupagainst the
wall andlicking onhim.
Three attorneys representing
one of the alleged victims re-
leasedastatement Saturday, with
attorney Andrew Shubin calling
Sanduskys comments an entire-
ly unconvincing denial and a se-
ries of bizarre explanations.
Sandusky told the newspaper
heandPaternonever spokeabout
the alleged 2002 incident or a
1998childmolestationcomplaint
investigated by Penn State cam-
pus police.
I never talked to himabout ei-
ther one, Sandusky said. Thats
all I cansay. I mean, I dont know.
He worked for Paterno for nearly
30 years.
Messages left Saturday by The
Associated Press seeking com-
ment fromrepresentatives for Pa-
terno were not immediately re-
turned.
Paterno testified before the
grand jury that the graduate as-
sistant toldhimin2002about the
assault he had witnessed, and
thatherelayedthereporttohissu-
perior, athletic director TimCurl-
ey.
The graduate assistant, Mike
McQueary, later met with Curley
and Gary Schultz, a university
vice president who oversawcam-
pus police. But authorities said
the allegation was not passed on
to police or prosecutors.
CurleyandSchultz are charged
with failing to report the 2002 al-
legationandlyingtothe grandju-
ry. Curley is on administrative
leave, while Schultz has stepped
down. Lawyers for bothmenhave
saidtheir clients are innocent.
Prosecutors have said Paterno
is not atarget of theinvestigation.
Paternos son, Scott Paterno,
told the AP last month the first
and only incident reported about
SanduskytoPaternowas in2002.
Paterno has said in a statement
that specific actions alleged to
haveoccurredinthegrandjuryre-
port were not relayedto him
Still, thestates topcophas crit-
icizedthewayschool leaders han-
dled allegations and said Paterno
and other officials had a moral re-
sponsibility to do more.
The 84-year-oldPaternoinitial-
lyannouncedhisretirementeffec-
tive at the end of the season, say-
ing that the scandal was one of
the great sorrows of my life. With
the benefit of hindsight, I wish I
had done more. The trustees
fired himanyway, about 12 hours
later.
Sanduskysaidthat prosecutors
have misconstrued his work with
children. He described a family
and work life that could often be
chaotic, evenodd, onethat lacked
some classic boundaries between
adults and children, the New
York Times reported.
It was, youknow, almost anex-
tended family, Mr. Sandusky
said of his households relation-
ship with children from the char-
ity he founded, The Second Mile.
He characterized his experiences
withchildrenasprecioustimes,
andsaidthephysical aspect of the
relationships just happened that
way.
But Saturdays statement from
one accusers attorneys called
such comments a delusional ra-
tionalization.
Pedophiles oftenhorriblymis-
characterize the abuse they per-
petrate as something that their
victims sought or benefited
from, said Justine Andronici,
who represents the same accuser
as Shubin.
A third attorney, David Mar-
shall, added that Sanduskys in-
terview goes a long way toward
corroborating the victims ac-
counts because Sandusky ac-
knowledges he wrestled and
showered alone with boys, gave
them gifts and money, and trav-
elledwiththem.
Allegations involving two vic-
tims occurred in Sanduskys
home, accordingtothegrandjury
report.
Victim One testified that
Sandusky had a practice of com-
ing into the basement roomafter
he told Victim One that it was
time to go to bed, the grand jury
report said. VictimOne testified
that Sandusky would crack his
back, which was described in
the report as Sanduskygettingon
to the bed and rolling under the
boy.
Sandusky is accused of mining
the ranks of Second Mile to find
underprivileged boys to abuse,
whichhesaysisfalse. Hesaidthat
thecharityneverrestrictedhisac-
cess to children until he became
thesubject of acriminal investiga-
tionin2008.
He acknowledgedthat he regu-
larly gave money to the disadvan-
taged boys at his charity, opened
bank accounts for them and gave
themgifts that had been donated
to the charity.
I tried to reward them some-
times witha little money inhand,
just so that they could see some-
thing, he said. But more often
than not, I tried to set up, maybe
get themto save the money, and I
put it directly into a savings ac-
count establishedfor them.
The paper said he grew most
animated when talking about his
relationships with children and
most disconsolate whenhe spoke
of Paterno and Penn State, and
the upheaval causedby his indict-
ment.
I dont think it was fair, he is
quotedas saying.
During the interview, Sandus-
kysaidhisrelationshipsandactiv-
ities with Second Mile children
caused some strain with Paterno.
He told the paper he worried that
havingsome childrenwithhimat
hotels before games or on the
sideline during games couldhave
been regarded as a distraction by
Paterno.

Edward
Charles "Ned"
Kerber of
Clarks Summit
died Friday,
December 2,
2011, at Allied
Skilled Nurs-
ing.
His wife is
the former Edith Bosher. The cou-
ple celebrated their 42nd wedding
anniversary on June 28.
Born September 5, 1941, in Avo-
ca, Pa., he was the son of the late
Raymond and Margaret Kritzer
Kerber. He was a student at Scran-
ton Preparatory School and a grad-
uate of St. Marys Assumption
High School and Wilkes-Barre
Business College.
Severely injured at age 11, Ned
never gave up. There was no chal-
lenge he did not try to overcome.
No love that he didnt share. Ned
never let his weaker limbs prevent
his strong heart fromshowing sup-
port and compassion.
Following his childhood acci-
dent, Ned learned to walk again by
working with his Elementary Mu-
sic teacher. This started a life-long
love of arts education and Sousa
Marches. In support of that firm
belief, heledtheJollyBoys Bandin
Avoca, was a founding member of
the Lakeland Band Parents Associ-
ation, and made sure that all four
children played the musical instru-
ment of their passions. Even when
hewas tooweaktomovehimself in
bed, he was able to march on, at
least in spirit.
Ned never shied away from
sharing his talent. From age 18 to
36, he was able to walk with a
slight limp. During this time he
served as a credit manager for the
former McCrorys and Pomeroys
department stores. In1967, he was
hired by the Metropolitan Insur-
ance Company where he worked
as aSales RepresentativeandSales
Manager. In1977, hewas placedon
permanent disability.
Ned did not let his disabled sta-
tus define his life. Instead, he took
the opportunity to commit his
time to his family, his community,
and his faith. He umpired his chil-
drens baseball games, went camp-
ing, and was a leader with the Boy
Scouts. He was a Gold Award Ad-
visor and proud member of the
Girl Scouts. Even though he was
not physically able, he was a mem-
ber of the Justus Volunteer Fire
Company and helped with their
billing.
He was a Roman Catholic by
faith and a Third-Degree Knight in
the Knights of Columbus. He was
proudly ecumenical. He served on
the Board of Trustees at the Chin-
chilla United Methodist Church.
At the Chinchilla UMC, he helped
put on childrens musicals and coor-
dinated transportation for the Vaca-
tion Bible School. He was also active
in the Abington Ecumenical Ministe-
rium and helped to plan the annual
CROP Walk in the late 1980s.
Ned loved railroading. He loved
learning about railroad history and
sharing stories about family mem-
bers who worked on the railroad. He
enjoyed collecting model trains and
sharing his layout with family and
friends. He kept in regular contact
with his family and had a close rela-
tionship with even his third cousins.
The world was a better place be-
cause of him. He wanted everyone to
be given a fair shot. He would sacri-
ficesothat others wouldgain. Hewas
not afraid to speak his mind, but also
tried to find the common ground in
peoples differences. There are many
people who have turned to him for
fatherly advice.
He was preceded in death by his
brothers, James and Raymond, and
his sister Alice Schott.
He is survived by a daughter, Amy
Louise Barlow and husband, Joe,
Clarks Summit; three sons, Edward
Charles Kerber II and wife, Loriann,
Clarks Summit; John Raymond Ker-
ber and wife, Elizabeth Gaggin, East
Rutherford, N.J.; and William Lewis
Kerber and wife, Cherish, North To-
nawanda, N.Y.
Also surviving are sisters, Cecile
Manta and husband, Joseph, Flour-
town, Pa.; and Margi McGinnis and
husband, Gerald, State College, Pa.
He was the proud grandfather of Jef-
frey and Bryan Barlow, who were the
light of his later life. He was support-
ive uncle to many nieces and neph-
ews.
The family would like to thank the
staff of the VNA Hospice and Allied
Services for their care.

Wiffle ball has long been the
passionof many youngsters anda
planned activity for many sum-
mer picnics. Now, that activity
has the potential to raise money
for various worthy organizations
in the community.
Kevin R. Sickle, commissioner
of the Wilkes-Barre-based Back-
yard Wiffle Ball League, a not-for-
profit group, has launched a cam-
paign for votes to win a $10,000
Pepsi Refresh Project grant. The
grant would be used to purchase
land for a field, which would ulti-
mately host numerous area char-
ity events.
Past charity
benefits by the
league include
Sears Heroes
at Home, the
Colleen Shea
Foundation
and local Little
Leagues.
The Pepsi
Refresh Project
is based on the
simple idea of
supporting pos-
itive efforts ini-
tiated by local
communities.
Pepsi has grant-
ed money to-
ward a variety
of causes, in-
cluding a slam poetry event in
Texas and a photography effort,
which allows military families to
have professional photos taken
with their families. Each month
theproject awards approximately
$1million. This grant money will
bereceivedbythetop15vote-get-
ters received online. The public
can vote for the idea once a day
every day this month at www.re-
fresheverything.com/bwbl.
Sickle said that area residents
hoping to improve their commu-
nity will rev up their computers
andmake a difference simply by a
click of their mouse. Sickle said
the league now hosts one annual
charity tournament each year, as
well as a full season of Wiffle ball
action.
The league has been operat-
ing since 2004, said Sickle, and
this money would be used for the
league to move forward, having
its own field and being able to de-
velop its own schedule of its
events.
The votes would be very ap-
preciated and the grant money
well used, says Sickle, remind-
ing the public to vote at www.re-
fresheverything.com/bwbl.

LOS ANGELES Alan Sues,
the actor best known as a flam-
boyantly campy regular on Row-
an & Martins Laugh-In in the
late 1960s and early 70s, has
died. He was 85.
Sues died Thursday night
while watching television at his
home in West Hollywood, said
Michael Gregg Michaud, a long-
time friend.
He had been in failing health
the last couple of years, but it was
nothingyoucouldput your finger
on; just old age, said Michaud.
Mentally, he was funny and on
as usual. He was a delightfully
funny man, with a wonderful ca-
reer that spanned six decades.
As a cast member of Laugh-
In, the overnight sensation that
debuted on NBC in 1968, Sues
joinedperformers including Judy
Carne, Goldie Hawn, Ruth Buzzi,
Jo Anne Worley, Arte Johnson
and Henry Gibson in the weekly
hour of wildly wacky, fast-paced
comedy.
During his time on the show
from 1968 to 1972, Sues played
the recurring characters Big Al,
the effeminate sportscaster, who
would ring a small bell on his
desk and exclaim, Oh ... my tin-
kle ... my tinkle ... I looove my tin-
kle; and Uncle Al the Kiddies
Pal, the perpetually hung-over
childrens showhost. (Oh, Uncle
Al had a lot of medicine last
night, boys and girls.)
Alan was a free spirit, an out-
rageous human being who was a
love child, George Schlatter, the
shows executive producer, told
the Los Angeles Times on Friday.
Hed say things like a frown is
just a smile upside down, and
hed scold me if I ever got firm
with the cast.
He was a delight; he was an
upper. He walked on the stage
and everybody just felt happy.
Buzzi said Sues was the fun-
niest person that I ever worked
with.
Michaud said Sues was gay but
not publicly because he feared it
would ruin his career.
Sues served in the Army dur-
ing World War II.

when (in East Coast time) the Ja-
panese attack began, volunteers
will begin to read the names of
the 2,402 Americans killed in the
attack. While some people have
already volunteered, others who
wish to join the memorial cere-
mony may read some of the
names at the event. Visitors are
free to enter or leave as they see
fit.
Walters hopes that local Pearl
Harbor survivors, other World
War II veterans and relatives of
survivors as well as anyone who
recalls Dec. 7, 1941, will attend
and bring photos, documents
and personal reminiscences to
share.
Interspersed with the reading
of the names will be presenta-
tions by participants who reflect
upon the experiences and memo-
ries of those who served at Pearl
Harbor, Walters said. Musical
selections that would have been
familiar to those in the service at
the time will also be featured,
along with pictorial displays.
Real-life connection
One real-life connection that
Walters hopes to bring to the cer-
emony will be the story of Joe
Lockard.
As an Army private and radar
operator, Lockardsawthe incom-
ing Japanese planes and notified
his superior, only to have his
warning rejected as probably a
flight of American B-17 bombers
expected in Hawaii that day.
While Lockard, 89 and a Har-
risburg resident, will not attend,
Walters, who visited with him,
will explain how that one mans
action might have made a huge
difference in the way the day and
subsequent history turned out.
Since the war, Lockards story
has become well-known. He was
portrayed giving his warning in
the 1970 movie Tora, Tora, To-
ra, the classic film treatment of
the Pearl Harbor attack.
Walters Lindhill Institute has
been offering living history pre-
sentations for more than a dec-
ade. They have ranged from a re-
would not end in Europe and the
Pacific for nearly four grueling
and bloody years.
Today, though, when Ameri-
cans look back at that terrible
Sunday, they alsosee stirringsac-
rifice and valor, the emergence of
a spirit of resolution that would
carry the nation through unimag-
inable hardships to ultimate vic-
tory.
A living history program
scheduled for Wednesday, 70
years after the event known to
this day simply as Pearl Harbor,
will offer a chance to reflect on
that day and on the sacrifices of
those who bravely fought back
and of those who died.
The Lindhill Institute will pre-
sent Remember Pearl Harbor
at 1 p.m. in the Great Hall of
Wyoming Seminary, 228 Wyom-
ing Ave., Kingston.
We want to make this a very
dignified and moving tribute,
said Fred Walters of Kingston
Township, the living history or-
ganizations director.
Walters will open the program,
after which Kip Nygren, presi-
dent of Wyoming Seminary, will
welcome guests. Nygren is a re-
tired Army brigadier general and
former professor of engineering
at West Point.
Defining moment
The program, free and open to
the public, will then move to its
defining moment. That will be a
re-creation of a legendary Memo-
rial Day service of 1942 in which
Hawaiian flower wreaths, or leis,
were placed on memorials repre-
senting Americas four uni-
formed services, marking the
Pearl Harbor tragedy.
We will re-create the spirit of
that memorial event, said Wal-
ters, who plans to have military
veterans place the leis.
Then, at1:25p.m., the moment
creation of local war veterans
holding a reunion in the 1920s to
the trial of the conspirators in the
assassination of President Abra-
ham Lincoln. While most are
done in Wyoming Valley, some
have been staged as far afield as
Gettysburg and Philadelphia.
Fighting back
The Pearl Harbor attack, while
damaging to Americas interests,
was not the complete success Ja-
pan had hoped.
Japan hoped by launching the
attack to cripple Americas naval
and air forces in the Pacific and
blunt any move to halt Japanese
expansion in the Far East.
Fortunately for the United
States, the U.S. Navys aircraft
carriers (which the Japanese had
hoped to sink) were on maneu-
vers at sea and were unharmed.
Within six months, those carri-
ers and their squadrons of torpe-
do planes, dive bombers and
fighters were in action, inflicting
heavy damage on Japans navy
and paving the way for American
forces to invade key Pacific is-
lands and roll back Japanese
gains.
In August 1945, a battered Ja-
pan surrendered unconditionally
after American atomic bombs
devastated the cities of Hiroshi-
ma and Nagasaki.
Wednesdays program, though,
will focus on the earliest mo-
ments of the war.
A lot of their memories have
been recorded, said Walters of
the people who knewthe desper-
ate days of the Pearl Harbor at-
tack and the rest of World War II.
But with the events of Dec. 7,
1941 now 70 years in the past,
Walters says the nation should
call up all that remains of the fast-
fading direct memory of those
times. His Wednesday living his-
tory memorial is designed to do
just that.
We are facing, sadly, the pass-
ing of that generation.

HAZLETON Christmas ar-
rived in Hazleton on Saturday
witha touchof abracadabra anda
flourish of sleight of hand, much
to the delight of the crowd who
came out in support of Hazleton
Little Leagues Magic Christ-
mas celebration.
The holiday event was held at
theHazletonAreaHighSchool as
a means to raise money for a new
press boxat the Little Leagues fa-
cilityandtogivebacktolocal chil-
dren.
Thisisthefirst of what weplan
to be an annual holiday event,
said Ed Shoepe, Hazleton Little
League president. Its a chance
for us toraisemuch-neededfunds
for our field, but also to showour
appreciation to the hundreds of
kids who participate in Hazleton
Little League.
Shoepe addedthat a number of
community businesses donated
money and merchandise for the
events 50/50 raffle to benefit the
Helping Hands Charity.
The show featured a headline
performancebynationallyknown
magician, Gemini, who thrilled
the crowd with fire, illusion and
side-splitting comedy.
Local dance troupe, Faberges
Follies, warmed up the crowd
with a seasonal dance and tum-
bling routine to the accompani-
ment of holidaymusical favorites.
We hope next year is bigger
andbetter, saidScott Burkhardt,
a Little League board member.
But this is a fantastic start.
Organizers thanked all their
volunteers and sponsors, includ-
ing state Rep. Tarah Toohil and
state Sen. John Yudichak, as well
as congressman and former Ha-
zleton mayor Lou Barletta, for
their support.
The magician Gemini is assisted by
Alexandra Wagner, 10, during a fundrais-
er performance for the benefit of Hazle-
ton Little League at the high school
Saturday. He thrilled the crowd with fire,
illusion and side-splitting comedy. The
Magic Christmas event was a means to
raise money for a new press box at the
Little Leagues facility and to give back
to local children. There was also a raffle
and dancing.
A magical time in Hazleton

who have never had to ask for
help and dont know how.
For Thanksgiving, McCawley
said 750 meals were delivered to
homebound people. Another 350
ate their Thanksgiving dinners
at the kitchen, which is run by
Catholic Social Services.
Bags packed with food and
toys are already being filed and
stacked on the shelves for the
Christmas season. McCawley
said she expects to distribute
about 900 of the bags
that include a turkey and
the only toys some chil-
dren will receive as gifts.
In the clothing storage
room, empty hangers
clearly show the need for
donations.
Weve already run out
of coats, McCawley
said. With winter com-
ing and the temperatures
dropping, everybody
comes here looking for
coats and sweaters.
McCawley said as
soon as she opens the
door of the clothes clos-
et, 40 to 50 people arrive
looking for items. The
closet is open Monday,
Wednesday and Friday
from 1 to 3 p.m. and
Tuesday and Thursday from 9 to
11 a.m.
Yes, the demand has gone
up, McCawley said, adding, Its
Gods work; He never lets us
down.
McCawley said the kitchen
barely met its goal of $200,000
for the Sponsor a Day cam-
paign. For $125, a company or in-
dividual can sponsor the kitchen
meal for one day. The donor
chooses the day and their name
is placed on a big board in the
kitchen. The campaign runs
from May to October each year.
McCawley said the kitchen is
facing a critical time she said
the demands of the holidays
must be met, but when the new
year begins, donations dry up.
Our worst time for donations
is January to May, she said. Do-
nations really drop. Thats why
we have to do well this month so
we can meet our needs and con-
tinue serving meals after the ho-
lidays.
And if the goals arent met,
what then?
Then we have to do a lot more
begging, she said.
CEO helps families
At the Commission on Eco-
nomic Opportunity, the Harry
and Jeannette Weinberg Food
Bank was depleted to meet the
needs of Thanksgiving. CEOs
32nd annual Thanksgiving Pro-
ject distributed food packages
this year to a record 7,619 house-
holds throughout Lu-
zerne and Wyoming
counties.
According to CEO,
more than 21,000 tons
of food that comprise
the ingredients of a tra-
ditional Thanksgiving
dinner was given out.
The Wyoming Valley
distribution alone
served 6,083 families
from the CEO distribu-
tion site located in
Plains Township.
Rich Kutz stood in
the warehouse on Am-
bler Lane and said do-
nations noware needed
to meet the Christmas
distribution needs.
Kutz said the food
bank will distribute
food to the Salvation Army, St.
Vincent de Paul Kitchen, the
Greater Pittston Food Pantry
and others for the coming holi-
day season. CEOdistributes food
to four counties Luzerne, Lack-
awanna, Wyoming and Susque-
hanna.
Director of the Weinberg Food
Bank since 1996, Kutz said CEO
has been operating the food pro-
gram for more than 35 years.
Were between holidays and
our stock is down, Kutz said.
Demand is increasing because
unemployment is still high and
we had severe flooding that re-
quired us to send food to vic-
tims.
Kutz said hes noticed an in-
crease in the number of senior ci-
tizens in need of help from the
food bank. Many seniors are on
fixed incomes that have not in-
creased, he said, while prices of
food and other necessities have
gone up.
And its difficult for them to
get out and shop, Kutz said.
The food bank receives private
donations from individuals and
businesses and participates in
the Feed America Program.
We distributed more than 5
million pounds of food last year,
Kutz said. When we opened in
1996, we distributed around 1
million pounds of food.
Escaping poverty
At Volunteers of America, Vice
President and Chief Operating
Officer Bill Jones said a great
deal of time is spent not just serv-
ing those who live in poverty, but
also trying to help lift them out
of poverty.
It is quite a challenge, Jones
said. If we can lower the unem-
ployment rate, we can begin to
lower the poverty rate.
VOA has 58 units of affordable
housing in the Wyoming Valley,
and all are filled and have long
waiting lists, Jones said.
The need for housing for low-
income families and individuals
with disabilities is very signifi-
cant, Jones said. Individuals
earning minimum wage, even if
they are full time, cannot afford
the local market rate of even a
one-bedroom apartment. Hous-
ing is an issue.
Jones said the number of cli-
ents in VOAs Caring Alterna-
tives pregnancy counseling pro-
gram doubled from 61 last year
to 120 this year.
More families than ever be-
fore are reaching out for help, he
said. After the flooding in Sep-
tember, donors were very gener-
ous to help us replace the diapers
and pantry items we lost. We are
going through those replenished
supplies very, very quickly.
VOAs Dial a Driver program, a
transportation program for the
elderly and those with disabili-
ties, served 321 different individ-
uals last year. Jones said the
agencys all time high was 327 in
fiscal year 2009-10.
This year through November,
just four months into the fiscal
year, we are already at 306 undu-
plicated individuals, Jones said.
There is no question we will set
a new record of service by July.
VOA, in partnership with Lu-
zerne County Children and
Youth, started a new program
that supports at-risk families.
Jones said he was expecting to
serve 60 families, but 85 en-
rolled.
The parents in the majority of
these households who can work,
do work, he said. Yet, wages
are very low and most do not
have benefits. As such, they
struggle and this impacts the
children in the family.
What people need
At the St. Vincent de Paul
Kitchen Henrietta Hank Rose is
one of the hundreds nowdepend-
ent on the downtown kitchen for
a hearty daily meal.
We have nothing like this in
Pittston I wish we did, she
said. I come here to see everybo-
dy theyre like my family.
Rose, who grew up in Dupont
and nowrents a roomin Pittston,
Rose never married she has
two sisters who she says she
hardly ever sees or hears from. A
proud woman, she has the look
of a difficult life and said its been
tough to make ends meet.
Rose doesnt just showup for a
meal: she volunteers almost ev-
ery day. She keeps her eye on
everything and everybody, said
McCawley, the director of the
kitchen. Shes the boss around
here.
Rose, a former chamber maid
at the now-defunct Pittston Hos-
pital, said shes noticed people of
all ages coming through the
doors at St. Vincent de Paul. She
said need has no social bounda-
ries or age limits.
These people need help, she
said. They need food.
NEED
Rich Kutz, director of the CEO/Weinberg Food Bank in Wilkes-Barre, talks about the areas need for food and clothing.
At Volunteers
of America,
Vice President
and Chief
Operating
Officer Bill
Jones said a
great deal of
time is spent
not just serv-
ing those who
live in pover-
ty, but also
trying to help
lift them out
of poverty.
This year it seems like everybo-
dy has had to give up their pets for
one reason or another, Moran
said. People can no longer afford
them, sadly, or they are moving to
more affordable housing and pets
arent allowed.
She said the more animals the
SPCA has, the more money needed
for food, cleaning supplies and
medical supplies.
The local SPCA budget is around
$2 million annually, and Moran
said the agency is coming up short
this year.
It costs about $40 per animal
per day to house them here, she
said. Were always short on cat
food, she said. And we go
through tons of cat litter.
Moran said all dropped-off ani-
mals are vaccinated upon arrival.
She said cats are blood tested for
feline leukemia and animals are
de-wormed. Moran said the local
chapter doesnt place a time limit
for an animal to be adopted.
We had one cat that finally got
adopted after a year and a half,
she said. We dont have a limit on
how long our animals can stay
here, but we have to keep them
healthy, and that costs money.
People want to adopt for free,
she said, but we cant do that.
There are occasional exceptions;
in December Moran said cats 1
year and older will be given to a
good home for free. Kittens under
a year old can be adopted for $50
and that includes vaccinations,
de-worming, microchip for perma-
nent identification and spaying/
neutering.
Dogs can be adopted for $95,
and that fee includes a county dog
license, vaccinations, microchip
and spaying or neutering.
When you adopt from an animal
shelter like SPCA, we will do our
best to match a pet with a home
and family. We will also give les-
sons on how to care for your pet.
Moran said the holiday season
should be a time when people open
their hearts and homes to an
adopted pet. Theyve lost their
home and they need that second
chance; they deserve it, Moran
said. And in return they will give
you years of unconditional love.
PETS
This male tabby
cat is a stray
picked up in West
Pittston. It can be
adopted at the
SPCA in Plains
Township. In De-
cember, the SPCA
will give cats 1
year and older to
a good home for
free. Kittens un-
der a year old can
be adopted for
$50, which in-
cludes vaccina-
tions, deworming,
microchip for
permanent identi-
fication and spay-
ing/neutering.
five days after an Atlanta-area
woman, Ginger White, claimed
she and Cain had an affair for
more than a decade, a claim that
followed several allegations of
sexual harassment against the
Georgia businessman.
Now, I have made many mis-
takes in life. Everybody has. Ive
made mistakes professionally,
personally, as a candidate, in
terms of howI run my campaign.
And I take responsibility for the
mistakes Ive made, and I have
been the very first to own up to
any mistakes Ive made, he said.
But Cain intoned: I am at
peace withmy God. I amat peace
with my wife. And she is at peace
with me.
Whites attorney saidina state-
ment after the announcement
that Cain had disparaged his cli-
ent and should apologize. Cain
hadcalledher atroubledAtlanta
businesswoman whom he had
tried to help.
We continue to encourage Mr.
Cain to retract these statements
and apologize for the way he has
characterized these women in
the media, Buckley said. Cains
campaign had no immediate re-
sponse.
Cains announcement provides
a new twist in what has already
been a volatile Republican race.
Former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich has, so far, been the big-
gest beneficiary of Cains precipi-
tous slide. Polls show Gingrich
and former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney atop the field in
what is shaping up as a two-man
race heading into early voting
states.
But others, such as Texas Gov.
Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep.
Michele Bachmann, will likely
make a strongplay for Cains anti-
establishment tea party backing
as they look to rise as a viable al-
ternative to Romney, whose con-
servative credentials are suspect
in some GOP circles.
Cain said he would offer an en-
dorsement, and his former rivals
were quick to issue statements
on Saturday praising his conser-
vative ideals and grassroots ap-
peal.
At a tea party rally in Staten Is-
land, Gingrich praised Cain for
bringing optimism and big ideas
to the race.
He had the courage to launch
the 9-9-9 plan, which, whether
you liked it or disliked it, was a
bigidea andstartedtoelevate the
debate toward big solutions and
not the usual nitpicking, consult-
ant-driven negativity, Gingrich
said. He was referring to Cains
catchy but controversial plan to
scrap the current tax code for a 9
percent tax on personal and cor-
porate income as well as a new 9
percent national sales tax.
Some disappointed Cain sup-
porters were clearly in search of a
candidate on Saturday following
his withdrawal.
I dont know where I will go
now, Janet Edwards, 52, said fol-
lowing Cains announcement. I
guess I have to start looking at
the rest of them.
Cain told supporters he
planned to continue his efforts to
influence Washington and an-
nounced Plan B what he
called a grassroots effort to re-
turn government to the people.
Cains announcement was a re-
markable turnabout for a man
that just weeks ago vaulted out of
nowhere to the top of the GOP
field, propelledby a populist, out-
sider appeal and his tax overhaul
plan.
Saturdays event was a bizarre
piece of political theater even for
a campaign that has seemed to
thrive on defying convention.
Cain marked the end of his bid
at what was supposed to be the
grand opening of his new cam-
paign headquarters in Atlanta.
Minutes before he took the stage
to pull the plug, aides and sup-
porters took to the podium to
urge attendees to vote for Cain
andtravel toearlyvotingstates to
rev up support for his bid.
Join the Cain train, David
McCleary, Cains Georgia direc-
tor, urged the audience.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2011
H
eres a local quiz question: What
Wyoming Valley town has boast-
ed a housing development made
entirely of concrete, a one-armed man
who played major league baseball and
the very first variety store in what
became a national chain?
If you answered Nanticoke, youre
right.
Youll find this kind of information,
plus a ton of historic photos, in the
new book Nanticoke, by Chester
Zaremba. Its 127 pages of neat pictures
describing the city from an incredibly
detailed 1890 birds-eye view through
1920s saloons (Prohibition, whats
that?) to the cleanup after the 1972
Agnes flood.
Zaremba, a retired state trooper and
former Nanticoke police chief, scoured
the community for photos. While you
will notice some you might have seen
before if youre into local history, most
of them will be new.
A lot of the pictures have not been
seen since they were taken, he said.
One, a picture of the towns old football
field, languished in the form of a glass
plate until Zaremba unearthed it, pho-
tographed it, made a positive and
brought back to life a sight that had
been unseen for many decades.
You can buy the book at Barnes &
Noble and at the Nanticoke Historical
Society, located in the Samantha Mill
House, adjacent to the Nanticoke Li-
brary. Zaremba is a co-founder of the
group.
If youre a genealogist with roots in
that area, you probably wont uncover
any ancestors you didnt know about in
Zarembas book, but you will get a
strong, strong sense of how your Nanti-
coke ancestors lived, studied, shopped,
worked, worshiped and played sports.
Youll see what was important to them,
what filled them with pride and what
sights they walked past on their way to
job or church.
The book offers a short general in-
troduction, plus a brief separate in-
troduction to each of the nine sections,
with titles like Churches and Trol-
leys.
Oh, and here are the details of our
quiz question: the Concrete City hous-
ing project, Pete Grey and the S.H.
Kress chain.
Queries: Im frequently asked by
genealogists about the full names of
the photo studios whose names are on
portraits of their ancestors, and wheth-
er those studios are still in business.
For the names and locations of local
photographers from a century or more
ago you can go to the 1900-1901 Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Business Directory.
Youll have to look under each Wyom-
ing Valley town separately, though.
Wilkes-Barre and Pittston seem to have
had more photographic studios than
any other Luzerne County towns.
For mid-20th century photographers,
a Wilkes-Barre City Directory from that
time (1950 or so) will give the names
of photographers in its business list-
ings, in the front of the directory. As far
as their still being in business though,
dont get your hopes up. Few studios
remain even from the 1950s. One, Ber-
thold of Wilkes-Barre, was destroyed in
a fire.
Some studios achieved historic sta-
tus, however. Stearns and Wildermuth
(downtown Wilkes-Barre) was well
known for its high-quality work at the
turn of the 20th century, and some
photos from that shop have been sold
on the Internet as collectibles.
News Notes: The West Pittston Li-
brary, where I have done several gene-
alogy presentations in recent years, is
operating in temporary quarters since
it was inundated in the September
flood. The current address is 801
Wyoming Ave., Unit 120, West Pittston.
Thats the shopping center near the
football stadium. To help the library
get back on its feet, you may send
contributions to the West Pittston
Library Recovery Fund, Luzerne Foun-
dation, 140 Main St., Luzerne, Pa.

Oria Maria De la
Concepcion Teresa
Robertin De Mirabel-
la (also known as
TuTu and Marie), a
resident of Drums,
Pa., will celebrate her 102nd, 37,230-
day birthday and continuing member-
ship in the exclusive Centenarian
Club.
The last of 13 mostly well-educated
siblings, she earned her liberal arts
masters degree and successfully held
positions as an educator and in Social
Services management caring for and
assisting others throughout her ca-
reer.
To state the obvious, Marie has
been witness to countless epic world
events in many areas of human en-
deavors and a host of repeat family
holidays in her lifetime.
She will be proudly joined by her
son, daughter-in-law, some recent
friends and perhaps others in the
celebration of her comfortable (at
times frustrating) ordinary and
healthy life, her experienced joys,
sorrows, likes, dislikes, successes,
failures and probably some well-kept
inconsequential, deep secrets.
Marie has been a mother, wife,
sister, relative and friend. She loved
her pet dogs and cats throughout the
years and song. She also has had a
long, curious gift of gab.
Join us in wishing this once strong
but now fragile lady with failing eye
sight a Happy Birthday and thank
her for her warm smiles, tender hugs
and generosity. She is loved!

Chester Kempinski started the bakery in 1940 on Everhart Street in the Buttonwood section of Hanover
Township. After 70 years in business the bakery closed its retail store and switched to mainly holiday baking
and online sales. George Kempinski took over his fathers business 26 years ago after his father passed away.
Over the years the online business grew and four years later George decided to put up a website which grew
the business substantially. I receive holiday orders from around the country for select baked goods such as
poppy seed and nut roll, cheese, prune and apricot rolls. He and his daughter, Alicia will continue to take orders
for these select products and ll online orders.
Onlineorders will betakenat www.buttonwoodbakery.comandtelephoneorders at (570) 823-8283for thelimited
selection of products. The bakery will be open for the holidays with a great selection of holiday favorites.

Wyoming Seminary Lower School students in Lisa Iskras eighth-grade science class recently toured a
State Police mobile crime laboratory and learned about state police crime investigation techniques. The
students completed a unit on forensic science in which they studied how police investigators gather,
study and evaluate evidence. They also solved a crime using forensic tools and simulated reenactments
and later conducted a trial to determine the guilt or innocence of a suspect. Troopers Anthony Petroski
and John Corrigan of the forensics services unit of Troop N Hazleton described how state police secure a
crime scene and gather evidence. They also guided the students through a tour of a state police car and
the mobile crime lab and explained the equipment in the lab and its use. During the tour, from left: Pe-
troski; Courtney Sminkey, Laurel Run; Gabrielle Grossman, Shavertown; Megha Sarada, Dallas; Megan
Obeid, Pittston; Lindsey Lacomis, Bear Creek Township; Alexandria Zaloga, Moosic; Jacob Schall, Hunlock

Some things are just meant to
be, hesaid.
When Wagner asked the Make-
A-Wish Foundation if it could help
arrangearideforMaddy, theywere
sympathetic but not helpful.
They only arrange wishes for
kidswhoaredying,saidWagner, a
single father who lives in Glen-
wood City, Wis. They couldnt
helpme.
Figuring that he had nothing to
lose, he put anadonCraigslist ask-
ingifsomeonewoulddonatearide.
Likeanyparent, youwant todo
anythingyoucanfor your kids, he
said. Buthedidnthavehighhopes.
I figured that Id just throw it out
thereandseewhat happens.
What happened was that Sili-
kowski washavingabout of insom-
nia. He was on his computer troll-
ingtheInternetinthemiddleof the
night when he stumbled on Wagn-
ers ad. He realized that AutoMo-
torPlexhadjust what Maddyneed-
ed.
Right away I knew: We can do
this, he said. But instead of just
giving her one ride, lets give her a
wholelot of rides.
He was hoping to get three or
four tenants to offer rides. He end-
ed up with several times that be-
cause everyone he sent anemail to
said yes. In fact, two owners who
wereoutof townarrangedforother
peopletodrivetheir cars.
Wagner said that Maddys fasci-
nation with sports cars started
about a year ago. Suddenly she
startedspoutingall these facts and
figures about super cars, he said.
AtfirstIdidntpaymuchattention,
but then I realized that she knew
what she was talking about. Her
brother added: She has the best
memoryever.
Wagner said that it was impor-
tant that Maddynot bedefinedby
her autism. Ive taught both my
kids that they can accomplish
whatever they believe they can ac-
complish. Yes, shes autistic, but in
every other way, shes just like ev-
ery other teenage girl. I hope peo-
ple dont see her as being autistic
but rather as being a beautiful
young lady who can accomplish
anythingshesets her mindto.
After each ride, Maddy gave the
driver a hug. Her assessments of
the rides were succinct: Cool.
Really cool. And, I felt like we
weregoingreallyfast. I likedit.
Her favoritecar lineis theLam-
borghini; she even knows the
name of the companys head test
driver. Sports car fans are ex-
tremely loyal to their brands, and
several of them made good-na-
tured attempts to get Maddy to
change her allegiance.
When Judson Dayton strapped
her into his Ferrari, he joked that
theridemightturnherintoaFerra-
ri buff. But aftertheride, shepolite-
ly announced, I dont want to be
mean, but I still like Lamborghinis
more.
Her first ride in a Lamborghini
didnt disappoint: I liked it, but it
was kind of scary, she said of the
cars tight cornering. Ive never
beenina car likethat before.
The drivers professed to be en-
joying the day as much as she did.
Most of the cars were getting their
last spinof theyear beforegoingin-
to winter storage. In fact, some of
the owners had already canceled
their collision insurance for the
year and had to reinstate it just for
theday.
This is the right thing to do,

Maddy a ride inhis FordGT. Its a

Men literally beg to get in.
Theres a waiting list. Andnoones
moresurprisedabout that thanthe
assistantwardenwhocouldnthelp
but harrumph when Zwerling told
her she wanted to teach inmates
how to make stuffed dolls and
woolly hats. Every other prison in
the area had already turned her
down.
I was like, Mmmm, I dont
know, says Margaret M. Chippen-
dale, the prisons warden. I just
hadahardtimetryingtograspthat
aninmatethat might havecommit-
ted a violent crime or been a gang
affiliatewasgoingtowant tosit ina
roomandknit.
But they did. Anddo.
They want it so much, in fact,
that theyrewillingtobegoodinor-
der to do it. Chippendale has no-
ticedlowerratesof violenceamong
the men who knit. Its a privilege
to be in that program, Chippen-
dale says. Its somethingthat mat-
ters and they dont want to do any-
thingtobe removedfromit.
On a recent Thursday, George
Hopkins hunched in a chair, gri-
macinginconcentration, pushinga
needle through a loop of wool,
wrapping it with yarn, then deftly
tucking it under, through and
around again and again, over
andover.
The 54-year-oldfromBaltimore,
in prison for stabbing someone,
had settled into a knitting-induced
reverie. He was halfway into a hat
and, justasZwerlingsuspected, en-
tirely transported.
My mind is on something soft
and gentle, he said. My mind is
nowhere near inside these walls.
That first night at the prison,
Zwerling went alone. A grand-
motherly figure who cuts her gray-
inghairshortandwholikestowear
herownbrightlycoloredcreations,
Zwerlingsteppedthroughthemet-
al detector, held her arms out for a
pat downandendureddisapproval
over her underwire brassiere. She
saysshewasnt scared, not evenfor
a minute.
We were very naive, says Sheila
Rovelstad, a 61-year-old avid knitter
who joined Zwerling at the jail not
longafter that first class. At first we
didnt knowenoughtobeafraid.
Theythought theguys werefun-
damentally good fellows who per-
haps made some bad choices.
But soonenoughtheyrealizedthat
these were men who had beaten
people, written bad checks for
thousands of dollars, and in one
case, kept someone locked in a
room. One was a child abuser.
That one was hard, Rovelstad
says.
In the bare, plain classroom
thats become the knitting roomat
the prison, the women lay down
firm ground rules. No roughhous-
ing. Nocoarselanguage. Noprison
nicknames. Bring your best
selves, they say.
If one of the mensteps out of line,
Rovelstad finds herself telling him,
We dont do that in this family. Its
thesamethingshedtellherownkids.
For the sessions that run two
hours everyThursdayevening, the
men do seem to bring their best
selves. They shower. They put on
clean clothes. When they walk in,
they peel off their skull caps and
greet the women respectfully. Be-
fore they leave, theyll call out
things like, Drive safely and
Have a great week.
On that recent Thursday eve-
ning, Hopkins, Furman and about
10 others were working wool, side
byside, theroomnearlysilent with
concentration. Most of them were
makinghatsfor studentsinneedat
Baltimores ArlingtonElementary.
Theres yarn of all colors spread
alongone table, as well as scissors,
tapestry needles and pom-pom-
makers every last bit of which
thewomenwill havetoaccount for
before they leave the prison.
The women buy most of the
groups supplies themselves,
thoughontheknittingsiteRavelry-
.com, theyve set up a page where
peoplecanmakedonationsof mon-
ey or yarn.
Also, Rovelstad, who has a busi-
ness hand-dying yarns where she
names the shades after songs, de-
signed one to benefit the program
called, I Fought the Law and the
Law Won. She had people nomi-
natecolor suggestionsonline, then
brought the choices in to the guys
for a final vote.
They chose a variegating stripe
of three colors blue for the sky,
greenfor thegrass andblackfor
thebarsthat keepthemfromenjoy-
ingeither one.
Its GaryRalphs last night. After
spending nearly all of his 30s and
40s in prison for burglary, robbery,
making and selling drugs and,
most recently, for violating parole,
the52-year -oldwasfour daysaway
from going home to College Park,
Md. He smiled when someone
pointed out that hed never finish
the hat inhis lap.
The former biker, still with long
silver hair that falls well past his
shoulders, has made about10hats.
Hes known for topping themwith
big, voluptuous pom-poms. He al-
soknit his mother a scarf, part bur-
gundy, part gold, withfringe at the
ends. A Redskins fan, Ralph says
she went crazy over it.
While working on all of those
things, Ralphsaidhe thought about
home. He says he hopes he keeps
knittingoncehefinallygets there.
I dont want togoout anymore,
doing what I used to do, he says.
Idrather stayhome, watchTV, sit
there andknit.

H
e was skating strong and pro-
ducing points while flying high
during his first extended action
in the NHL.
Then Eric Tangradi got hit by a
flying elbow.
That unprovoked blow during last
seasons Brawl Game between the
Pittsburgh Penguins and New York
Islanders did more than crumple Tan-
gradi with a concussion.
It changed him.
You could say Ive played with my
head up a lot more than I had in the
past, Tangradi said.
Thats not to say he plays with his
head on a swivel.
Tangradi is still turning heads with
timely goals, such as the one he
scored for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins on a power play Friday
night.
But hes not about to let some goon
turn his lights out again.
So Tangradi plays wiser and with
more awareness.
I skate up and protect myself more
out there, Tangradi said.
When he put his head down and
went to work, Tangradi was a joy to
watch.
A slight setback to NHL stardom
Standing 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, he
produced 39 points during his first
AHL season with Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton in 2009-10. He put up 33 points in
42 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
last season, including 18 goals, while
marking himself as a top prospect for
Pittsburgh. Tangradi had some suc-
cess with the parent Penguins when
he was promoted to help fill a void
created by a rash of injuries, produc-
ing a goal and two assists in 15 NHL
games. He had plenty of moments
hell remember.
Then came one he wont.
His Pittsburgh teammates were
already warring with the Islanders
after a fight-filled game earlier in 2010-
11 when the rematch played out in
New Yorks Nassau Veterans Memorial
Coliseum.
Tangradi simply got caught in the
middle.
His head got crunched against the
boards by a vicious elbow from Islan-
ders enforcer Trevor Gillies, sparking
a full-team brawl. And it knocked out
the rest of Tangradis season.
Just unfortunate, Tangradi said.
It may have set me back a little bit.
He didnt mean in the area of devel-
opment.
It might have held me back from
playing a few more games up there,
Tangradi said.
The 22-year-old winger from Phila-
delphia recovered in time to participa-
te in his first NHL playoff game for
Pittsburgh in April.
Now hes trying to recover some of
his old magic.
Tangradis displayed flashes of that,
putting up a four-game points streak
while accumulating three goals and
three assists for the WBS Penguins in
October. He skated twice in games for
Pittsburgh during a recent promotion.
And after going four games without a
point seemingly an eternity for him
anymore Tangradi found the net on
the power play against Portland to
break his mini-drought Friday.
He was a thorough player (against
Portland), WBS Penguins coach John
Hynes said. He made smart plays
when it was time to make them.
Tangradi makes them as much with
his head these days as he does with
his hands.
Slumps are part of everyones
game, Tangradi said. Its how you
react to them.
Its in his nature to respond quickly.
Because as Tangradi learned, its the
best way to make up for lost time.

ATLANTA LSU slogged
its way through a brutal first
half. The nations top-ranked
team had only 12 yards and
not even a single first down.
The Honey Badger didnt
care.
He just took what he want-
ed a trip to the national
championship game.
Tyrann Mathieu turned in
an MVP performance when
the Tigers needed him most,
running back a punt 62 yards
for a touchdown, setting up
another score with a fumble
recovery and finally finishing
off No. 12 Georgia with his
best play yet, a whirling der-
vish of a return that led to the
decisive TD of a 42-10 victory
in the Southeastern Confer-
ence championship game Sat-
urday.
LSU (13-0) advanced to a
spot in the BCS title game in
New Orleans, just 75 miles
fromits Baton Rouge campus.
The Tigers opponent will be
announced Sunday night, but
SEC West rival and No. 2 Ala-
bama already beaten by the
Tigers 9-6 in overtime a
month ago had the inside
trackeventhoughit didnt win
its division.
The Bulldogs tried to really
shake things up, racing to a
10-0 lead that couldve been
even bigger if they hadnt
dropped a pair of potential
touchdown passes in the first
quarter. LSU looked down-
right awful on offense, going
three-and-out on all seven of
its possessions before half-
time.
But, thanks to Mathieu, the
deficit was only 10-7 when the
teams went to the locker
room. He took a punt at his
own 38, found an opening and

SYRACUSE, N.Y. The Syra-
cuse Crunch pulled away with
two goals in the second period
and added two more in the third
to handle the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins 5-2 on Satur-
day at the Onondaga County War
Memorial.
Geoff Walker and Brian Gib-
bons tallied for the Penguins,
while Brandon McMillan, Pa-
trick Maroon, Kyle Palmieri,
Troy Bodie and Peter Holland
scored for the
Crunch.
Bodie gave
the home teama
4-1 cushion at
the 2:54 mark of
the third when
he re-directed a
centering pass
from Mat Clark
past Pens net-
minder Brad
Thiessen.
Gibbons
brought his
teamwithin two
scores by beat-
ing Crunch goa-
lie Iiro Tarkki
with seven min-
utes left, but Hollandaddedanin-
surance marker 1:35 later to set-
tle the issue.
It was the second time in less
thantwoweeks that Syracuse has
beaten its East Division rival,
with Syracuse putting five goals
into the back of the Pens net each
time.
Palmieri delivered a wincing
blow to the Penguins with 20.4
seconds remaining inthe second.
Nick Bonino won a faceoff in the
right dot of the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton zone, slipping it over to
Palmieri in the right side of the
slide.
Palmieri quickly fired a shot
past Thiessen to give the Crunch
a 3-1 edge heading into the sec-
ond intermission.
That answered a tally by Walk-
er that had pulled Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton within 2-1 at the 12:18
mark. Seconds after a Penguins
power play expired, Walker
flipped a shot from the right past
Tarkkis far side. The Crunch
screamed that the play had been
off-sides, but the players protests
evaporated into air.

second to give the Crunch a jump

LEXINGTON, Ky. Pushed and
pressured all day, Anthony Davis finally
went somewhere else no one could on
the floor. Up.
The freshman soared to block John
Hensons shot in the final seconds and
No. 1 Kentucky held on to beat No. 5
North Carolina 73-72 on Saturday to ex-
tendthe Wildcats home winningstreak
to 39 games.
I just jumped as high as I could with
my arm up, said Davis, who had seven
points and nine rebounds. I thought I
probably would (block it). I have long
hands.
Freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

WILKES-BARRE Open at
the top of the arc, Nick Reisig
wasnt about to miss a shot like
this.
Kyle Hammonds found the
Kings senior captain in line for
the big shot and Reisig didnt
disappoint, burying the three-
pointer that gave the Monarchs
the lead for good on Saturday.
Hammonds added a steal and
a score onthe next possessionto
help put away a 75-70 win over
FDU-Florham in the Monarchs
Freedom Conference home
opener at Scandlon Gymasium.
The thing Imreally enjoying
about this team is that as were
growing, its not the same peo-
ple ontop, Kings coachJ.P. An-
drejko said. I like that we arent
relying on one guy to perform
every night for us to be success-
ful.
With the graduation of star
big man Kevin Conroy, the Mon-
archs (3-3, 2-0 Freedom) dont
have a choice but to spread
things out on offense. That was
the case on Saturday as Conroy

JOEY MORMINA
Penguins defenseman
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
defenseman Joey Mormina spans the
globe to pick his fantasy hockey team.
Not only did Mormina dip into Rus-
sias Kontinental Hockey League and
the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germa-
ny (DEL), he also picked a few former
and current teammates. Granted, cur-
rent teammates arent allowed to be
chosen for Fantasy GM, but when you
have more than 400 AHL games under
your belt - as Mormina does, well go
ahead and bend the rules.
Read on and find out what familiar
face now playing in Russia made Mor-
minas team, and which of his current
teammates reminds himof Sidney
Crosby.
FORWARD -- Sidney Crosby (Pitts-
burgh), "Himor Bryan
Lerg. I find that
theyre very similar
players."
DEFENSE -- An-
drew Hutchinson
(Astana, KHL) - "Hes
in Kazakhstan right
now just dominating."
GOALTENDER --
Carey Price (Montreal), "We always
have a debate every morning whos the
best goaltender in the league and I
always say Carey Price. Himor John
Curry, who is lighting up the DEL right
now. Id give Carey the start, but one
goal and Id put John in."
POWER PLAY SPECIALIST -- Brett
Sterling (St. Louis), "He was second in
the league (AHL) in scoring. Hes my
one-time power play specialist."
PENALTY KILL SPECIALIST -- Hal
Gill (Montreal), "Hes enormous. His
stick is 100 feet long, his blade is six
inches thick. Hes dominant."
SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST -- Keven
Veilleux (WBS), "Hes the best Ive ever
seen."
ENFORCER -- Steve MacIntyre
(Pittsburgh), "Hes a monster."
AGITATOR/PEST -- Robert Bortuzzo
(WBS), "Hes got a mouth on him. I
dont know if hes learning it fromme or
what. Imrubbing off on him."
HEAD COACH-- Alain Nasreddine
(WBS), "I think hed put me on the pow-
er play more often."
ALL TIME GREAT -- Ray Bourque
(Boston, Colorado), "He was my favorite
player growing up and a top-five defen-
seman of all time."
Trade Secrets
Bourque
suppers and lunches for us, give us a
care package when we come here.
They try to make things easy for us.
As a hockey player whos played on
different teams, their support is huge,
he continued. They care about us as
hockey players and people, too.
Fellow Penguin Joey Mormina
agreed.
The beginning of the year, they set
us up with blankets, bags, things we
need on the road, he said. Its pretty
important and special, and we appre-
ciate it.
But the booster club isnt all about
making the Penguins feel at home in
Leaving rural Canada for the Wyom-
ing Valley as a 20-year-old can be quite
a culture shock.
Heck, starting your first professional
job in Northeastern Pennsylvania can
be a bit of a challenge if you are com-
ing from New England or Minnesota.
Fortunately for the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins, the teams booster
club is on hand to help players make
the transition into professional hockey.
Players who come from other
leagues say they cant believe what we
do, said Vicki Silva, the clubs presi-
dent.
Among the things the club does for
the players include: hosting a welcome
dinner and luncheons during the sea-
son; helping them with any problems
that might arise involving relocating
to the area; and baking them Christ-
mas cookies.
The club even provides each player
with a welcome bag at the beginning
of each season.
Its actually a travel bag, Silva said.
Some years its a garment bag, some
years its a duffel bag.
The bag is then filled with items
from area businesses that players new
to the area might find useful.
We ask for all kinds of contribu-
tions coupons, gift certificates,
snacks , Silva said.
The players even get a scrapbook at
the end of the season of their time
spent playing for the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins.
We will take pictures all year long,
Silva said.
Its all geared towards making the
players feel welcome and at home in
the Wyoming Valley.
And the players appreciate the ef-
fort.
The booster club is obviously some
of our biggest supporters, Penguins
center Ryan Craig said. They put on
the Wyoming Valley although they
certainly do a good job of that.
The club also offers fans a chance to
interact with players, bond with fellow
fans and more closely follow the team.
There are even trips to road games.
Its nice when we go on the road,
like in New England, there were two
bus loads of our fans there that filled
up a section of the rink, Mormina
said. Its nice to see and its extra
motivation to play well for people who
spent their hard-earned money coming
on the road to see us.
And you dont have to a hockey
fanatic to sign up.
Its perfectly OK if you dont know
the difference between boarding and
charging.
Even Silva was a hockey newbie
when she joined the club.
In fact, she hadnt even seen her first
hockey game until about eight years
ago.
I was a nurse and was working in a
doctors office at the time, Silva said.
A drug rep gave me tickets to a Pen-
guins game.
So we went and I loved it.
A short time later Silva was an ac-
tive member of the booster club, and
the rest is history.
Support system for Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons hockey team not only helps players adjust, it
motivates them throughout their time in Northastern Pennsylvania

The Penguins Boosters table set up at the area during the game.
On the day he was named the
ECHLs rookie of the month for No-
vember, Chris Barton scored two goals
Friday to lead the Nailers over Read-
ing, 5-1.
On the season, Barton has 14 goals
and nine assists, giving him 23 points
in 16 games. Barton is second in the
ECHL in goals and fifth in points. He
also leads all rookies in scoring.
Patrick Killeen stopped 20 of the 21
shots he faced Friday for his sixth win,
and newly acquired Adam Ross had a

with Hammonds for the team
lead. Alan Kuiper added11points
and nine rebounds. Kings got 27
points off the bench, led by nine
from Mike Foster, who hit some
key buckets in the second half.
The Monarchs had led the en-
tire first half before a late charge
by the Devils (1-4, 1-1) gave them
a brief 28-27 lead with a minute
left before the break.
A Matt Fiorino three-pointer
gave the Monarchs a 30-28 edge

Lady Monarchs trounce FDU
Her first start of the seasonwas
more of a formality than any-
thing. But senior Paige Carlin
still made it count for Kings on
Saturday.
Carlin scored a season-best 25
points and the Lady Monarchs
topped FDU-Florham 90-73 in
the teams Freedom Conference
home opener at Scandlon Gym-
nasium.
A fixture in the starting lineup
the past two seasons, Carlin had
still played significant minutes
(25.3 per game) to open the 2011-
12 season but had done so com-
ing off the bench.
With fellow veteran Brittany
Muscatell out with an injury Sat-
urday, Carlin was back in as a
starter and came within three
points of her career-high while
adding eight rebounds and three
steals in 29 minutes
I thought she was spectacu-
lar, Kings coach Brian Donogh-
ue said. Shes handled every role
weve asked her to do. Not only
didweinsert her inthelineup, we
gave her more of a ballhandling
responsibility without (Musca-
tell).
Celia Rader (21points) and Sa-
mantha Simcox (15) also hit dou-
ble figures in the win as Kings
had its highest scoring output of
the young season.
The Lady Monarchs (6-1, 2-0
Freedom) scored the games
opening 11 points and the Devils
called three timeouts in the
games opening seven minutes to
try and stop the bleeding. But
things only got worse for them
before halftime
Upset with the officiating and
his teams poor start, FDU coach
Marc Mitchell was assessed a
double technical just 10:32 into
the game and was ejected.
Carlin hit all four foul shots to
put the Lady Monarchs up 33-8.
They led by as many as 27 points
before heading into the break
with a 49-24 advantage.
A second-half rally saw FDU
(3-5, 0-2) cut a 30-point deficit
down to13 but could pull no clos-
er.

Lamb added12 of his14 points af-
ter halftime in the heavily hyped
matchup.
I didnt realize, because I
hadnt been watching much TV,
that this game was being played
up like the end alls of end alls,
Kentucky coach John Calipari
said.
Davis sure ended it, all right.
Reggie Bullock hit a 3-pointer
for North Carolina (6-2) to cut
the Wildcats lead to 73-72 with
48 seconds left. After freshman
Marquis Teague missed the front
end of a one-and-one, Davis
blocked Hensons shot, grabbed
the rebound and the Wildcats ran
out the clock.
If he doesnt block the shot,
we lose, Calipari said. Both
teams gutted it out, just gutted it
out. This is supposed to be
March, not now. Im exhausted.
Tyler Zeller and Harrison
Barnes scored 14 points apiece
for the Tar Heels, who led by as
many as nine in the first half and
helda six-point leadinthesecond
before Kentucky rallied.
The Wildcats havent lost at
Rupp Arena since Calipari took
over, a span of 38 games that in-
cludes winning their final one at
home under Billy Gillispie.
Lamb converted a three-point
play as part of a 7-0 run that gave
Kentucky a 63-60 lead. After Zell-
er hit a jumper to cut it to one,
Lamb hit a pair of 3s, the second
in the corner that gave the Wild-
cats a 69-64 lead with 3:47 left.
He had a couple of layups, a
couple of threes and they were
big shots, they were big shots.
That one inthe corner was a huge
shot and he knocked it down,
Calipari said. Ive got good play-
ers. Were young, were inexperi-
enced, but I havereallygoodplay-
ers.
After a 3-pointer by Barnes,
North Carolinas 11th of the
game, made it 69-67. Darius Mill-
ers basket made it 71-67. Henson
hit two free throws and Kidd-Gil-
christ answered with two more
before Bullocks 3 set up the final
sequence.
After Teague missed the front
end of the one-and-one following
a foul by Kendall Marshall with
21seconds left, the Tar Heels had
one more chance.
Marshall found Zeller and as
Terrence Jones came to double
team, he found Henson. Henson
went up for a winner, but Davis
used his 6-foot-10 frame and mas-
sive wingspan to block the ball.
He grabbedthe reboundas North
Carolina never tried to foul as
time expired.
He came from the other side
of the lane, it was a great play by
him, Henson said.
Jones finished with 14 points
and Miller had 12 for the Wild-
cats. North Carolinas P.J. Hair-
ston scored 11 and Henson fin-
ished with 10.
Kentuckylast reachedNo. 1un-
der Calipari in 2009-10, but
promptly lost its first game after
receiving the ranking. The Wild-
cats beat St. Johns 81-59 on
Thursday night before this
matchup the first between top
five teams in Lexington in 13
years.
Last year, these two teams
played a pair of memorable
games with North Carolina win-
ning 75-73 in Chapel Hill before
Kentucky topped the Tar Heels
76-69 inthe NCAAregional finals
in March.
This one was equally as enter-
taining even though North Car-
olina slipped from the No. 1 spot
last weekwhentheylost toUNLV
in Las Vegas to keep this frombe-
ing the first No. 1vs. No. 2 match-
up in the 35-year history of Rupp
Arena.
The Tar Heels committed five
early turnovers, but Hairston,
who had been questionable to
play because of a sprained left
wrist, hit a pair of 3-pointers up-
on entering to give North Caroli-
na a 24-18 lead.
A jumper by Barnes extended
it to 34-25, the biggest deficit the
Wildcats faced this season and
Kentucky trailed at the half for
the first time this season, 43-38.
Its the first time the two
schools have met this highly
rankedsince Dec. 26, 1981inEast
Rutherford, N.J., when Michael
Jordan, James Worthy and Sam
Perkins combinedfor 66points in
North Carolinas 82-69 victory.
Kentucky standout SamBowie
didnt play in that game because
of a stress fracture in his left leg,
but that game still featured 18
draft picks including five that
went in the first two rounds. The
NBAdraft was10 rounds through
1984.
This matchup had even more
media anticipation and included
more thantwodozenNBAscouts
and front office personnel. Ken-
tuckys young squad that starts
three freshmen and two sopho-
mores responded.

(132), Sal Diaz (152), Connor
Wasson (170) and C.J. Mayer
(120) took third.
Troy Edwards and Matt Dog-
gett placed fourth at 132 and
195, respectively, while Ryan
McMullan earned a fifth-place
showing at 170.

Balanced Wilkes topples DeSales
The Times Leader staff
and a 2-0 lead. Bonino was bat-
ting the puck around in front of
the net, and a rebound rolled to
Maroon on the right side. Ma-
rooneasilyburiedit intotwine at
the 2:12 mark.
Both teams had chances to
add to their second-period boun-
ty. Syracuses Nicolas Des-
champs shook free for a break-
away with 15:41 left in the peri-
od, but Thiessen closed down
his 5-hole bid.
And with 1:34 remaining,
Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons Ben
Street drove in hard on the left
side of a 3-on-1, but Tarkki stayed
with himas he cut to the middle
and denied the shot.
The middle 20 minutes also
tooka bit of a chippy turn. Palmi-
eri and Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons
Ryan Craig fought at the 9:37
mark after Craig ran into Tarkki.
McMillan, who had been goal-
less with both Anaheim and Sy-
racuse this season, finally put
one up in that column for the
first periods only tally.
McMillan set up his opportu-
nity by drawing a cross checking
penalty on Street at the 3:14
mark. He then made the Pens
pay by taking a pass from Dan
Sextonandwhistlinga shot from
the left circle past Thiessen with
15:03 left in the period.
The Penguins had a chance to
answer that man-up marker with
one of their own when Palmieri
was whistled for goalie interfe-
rence at the 7:54 mark. But Syra-
cuse easily wasted that advan-
tage.
Syracuse, N.Y. - Whenit comes
to the point-counterpoint be-
tween Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
and Syracuse, Pens forward Ge-
off Walker is sticking to his argu-
ment.
I like our team over their
team any day of the week if we
play our game, he said.
On Saturday night, that again
was a crucial and deciding ca-
veat.
The Crunch pulled away with
two goals in the second period
and added two more in the third
to handle the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins 5-2 on Satur-
day at the Onondaga County
War Memorial.
It was the second time in less
than two weeks that Syracuse
beat its East Division rival, scor-
ing five goals each time. Even
more annoying to Wilkes-Barre/
Scrantonwas that it out-chanced
the Crunch both times, taking a
54-18 shots advantage onNov. 23
and a 35-29 decision in that cate-
gory on Saturday.
They were opportunistic on
their shots. We didnt bury our
chances, Walker added as the
second part of his proclamation.
Walker and Brian Gibbons tal-
lied for the Penguins, while
Brandon McMillan, Patrick Ma-
roon, Kyle Palmieri, Troy Bodie
and Peter Holland scored for the
Crunch. Syracuse goalie Iiro
Tarkki frustrated the Pens with
33 saves, while Brad Thiessen
turned in 24 for Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton.
Bodie gave the home team a
4-1 cushion at the 2:54 mark of
the third when he re-directed a
centering pass from Mat Clark
past Thiessen.
Gibbons brought his team
within two scores by beating
Crunch goalie Iiro Tarkki with
seven minutes left, but Holland
added an insurance marker 1:35
later to settle the issue.
I thought we were a little bit
inconsistent, said Penguins
coach John Hynes. think
theyve played us very well. Both
times we were trying to play
catch up.
Palmieri delivered a wincing
blow to the Penguins with 20.4
seconds remaining in the sec-
ond. Nick Bonino won a faceoff
in the right dot of the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton zone, slipping it
over to Palmieri in the right side
of the slide.
Palmieri quickly fired a shot
past Thiessentogive the Crunch
a 3-1 edge heading into the sec-
ond intermission.
Palmieri is going to put that
puck in the net more times than
not, Walker said. We let it slip
away, and we were chasing the
whole third.
Palmieris score answered a
tally by Walker that had pulled
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton within
2-1at the12:18 mark. Seconds af-
ter a Penguins power play ex-
pired, Walker flipped a shot from
the right past Tarkkis far side.
The Crunch screamed that the
play had been off-sides, but the
players protests evaporated into
air.
Maroon scored early into the
second to give the Crunch a
jump and a 2-0 lead. Bonino was
batting the puck around in front
of the net, and a rebound rolled
to Maroon on the right side. Ma-
rooneasilyburiedit intotwine at
the 2:12 mark.
Both teams had chances to
add to their second-period boun-
ty. Syracuses Nicolas Des-
champs shook free for a break-
away with 15:41 left in the peri-
od, but Thiessen closed down
his 5-hole bid.
And with 1:34 remaining,
Wilkes-Barre/Scrantons Ben
Street drove in hard on the left
side of a 3-on-1, but Tarkki stayed
with himas he cut to the middle
and denied the shot.
I thought he played solid,
Hynes said of Tarkki. He made
some big saves and found the
puck through traffic. Key saves
at big times.
McMillan, who had been goal-
less with both Anaheim and Sy-
racuse this season, finally put
one up in that column for the
first periods only tally.
McMillan set up his opportu-
nity by drawing a cross checking
penalty on Street at the 3:14
mark. He then made the Pens
pay by taking a pass from Dan
Sextonandwhistlinga shot from
the left circle past Thiessen with

PENGUINS
SEVILLE, Spain Argentina won the
doubles against Spain to trail 2-1 in the Da-
vis Cup final, although the South Amer-
icans will face Rafael Nadal on his favorite
clay surface today.
David Nalbandian and Eduardo
Schwank, partnering for the first time,
eased to a 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 victory Saturday
over Spanish pair Fernando Verdasco and
Feliciano Lopez on the clay at Olympic
Stadium.
Nadal, unbeaten on clay in 16 Davis Cup
matches, opens Sunday for four-time
champion Spain against Juan Martin del
Potro.
The South Americans broke five times
and overcame three break points to extend
the series. The visitors need to sweep Sun-
days reverse singles to become the first
team in 72 years to rally from a 2-0 deficit.
We played a great game. Were in very
good shape, and the series is still alive,
Nalbandian said. Our hope is intact.
The 11th-ranked Del Potro needs to re-
cover quickly from his exhausting, nearly
five-hour loss to David Ferrer on Friday.
Argentina wins Davis Cup doubles. Next up: Nadal on clay

S P O R T S
Coaching searches, particular-
ly high-profile ones like at Penn
State, hinge on semantics. Re-
ports emerge that a coach at
another school or from a profes-
sional team is a candidate, and
out come the denials.
So it has begun for Penn
State.
Since the announcement of a
formal six-person committee to
find a permanent replacement
for Joe Paterno, the verbal danc-
ing has picked up. Who has
been contacting who? Whats
the definition of interest from
one side or the other?
Acting athletic director Dave
Joyner, who is heading the com-
mittee, has already been in-
volved in that himself.
I would say that weve had a
lot of interest is a good way to
put it, Joyner said in an in-
terview posted on the schools
website. There is not a lack of
interest in Penn State football, I
can tell you that.
I cant say who has applied
and who hasnt, but I will say
that everyone that is interested
in this job can contact me.
Theres the rub. Interested
candidates can have intermedi-
aries speak with other interme-
diaries and still be able to say
they havent had talks about the
position.
Were not using a search
firm, Joyner said. You put out
a notice that were looking for a
coach and then people will
contact you. Or, there are some
candidates that havent contact-
ed us directly or indirectly.
Then, if we think theyre wor-
thy, we will go through the
appropriate process depending
on what their present job status
is.
Certainly the job isnt as at-
tractive as it would have been
even a month ago, not after the
Jerry Sandusky scandal broke.
That also means there will be
increased scrutiny on what the
new coach does away from the
field.
As for Joyners requirements?
I think its fairly easy to put it
in a framework, he said. Num-
ber one, a highly ethical coach
who has a great background in
that and well-respected for that.
A coach that understands the
importance of academics and
being part of a larger education-
al community and the value of
that for their athletes.
And then one thats able to
win, because thats important.
And one thats able to win in
that environment. And there are
a lot of people out there that fit
that bill, that come with that
kind of pedigree and those are
the kind of people were looking
for.
The final decision will be
made by Joyner and university
president Rod Erickson, perhaps
in the next two weeks.
Until then, here is a look at
some of the names that have
come up so far.
TOMBRADLEY
Interim head coach, Penn
State
Record: 1-2
Age: 55
Alma mater: Penn State
(1979)
RESUME
Penn State
Interim coach since Nov. 9
Defensive coordinator,
2000-11
Defensive backs, 1996-99
Defensive ends/special
teams, 1995
Outside linebackers/special
teams, 1986, 1988-94
Wide receivers/special
teams, 1987
Special teams, 1980-87
Graduate assistant, 1979
QUOTABLE: I certainly would
want the permanent job here.
Secondly, Im not concerned
about what other people think.
Im worried about what our
administration thinks and what
the people that are going to
make that decision think.
If I dont end up getting the
job, I can look back and say I
gave everything I had to help
those guys win a championship.
And some day down the road,
no matter how many years
down the road, theyll say, Hey,
Coach worked for us until the
end.
Nov. 22 press conference
OUTLOOK: The in-house can-
didate, Bradley has the support
of current and former players, as
well as recruits who have given
verbal commitments to Penn
State.
Though the Lions went 1-2 to
close out the season under Bra-
dley, the Johnstown native has
been nationally praised for his
work in an unprecedented and
impossibly difficult situation.
He has been known for decades
as a tireless worker and recrui-
ter for the program.
Those long-time connections
could be a detriment, however.
Joyner has said that having ties
to the program and, by associ-
ation, Sandusky would not
preclude someone from getting
the job. But Penn State may
choose to go for a clean break
from the past rather than risk
new developments in the Sand-
usky case dragging others back
into the spotlight.
Bradley is expected to formal-
ly interview for the position, but
the obstacles he faces may be
insurmountable.
MIKE LONDON
Head coach, Virginia
Record: 12-12 (FBS), 24-5
(FCS)
Age: 51
Alma mater: Richmond
(1983)
RESUME
Virginia
Head coach, 2010-present
Defensive coordinator/

90, 1995-96
Houston Texans
Defensive line, 2005
Boston College
William and Mary
QUOTABLE: I havent heard
from (Penn State), and I dont
expect to. Thats the power of
rumors. It runs like a wild horse,
man. Ive got bigger things to
fry right now. Its a little bit of
everything. I mean, were build-
ing an indoor facility here.
I can tell you no one (from
Penn State) has reached out to
me, or talked to me. Its way,
way, way, way premature for
anyone to credibly think thats
the case.
Nov. 11 interview with
Daily Press of Newport News,
Va.
OUTLOOK: London was ac-
tually the very first name to be
linked to the Penn State job in
reports. Coming just two days
after Paterno was fired, The
Washington Post reported, cit-
ing an unidentified source, that
Penn State had reached out to
gauge interest that London
might have.
The source said London, in
his second season at Virginia,
would prefer to sign an exten-
sion with the Cavaliers.
After playing for Richmond
and spending part of one season
with the Dallas Cowboys in
1983, London went into law
enforcement and recently told
the story on ESPN how he was
nearly killed in the line of duty
and elected to go into coaching.
Working as an assistant for 19
seasons at different stops, Lon-
don got his first head coaching
gig at his alma mater, leading
the Spiders to a national cham-
pionship in 2008.
After a 4-8 debut for Virginia
last season, London rallied the
Cavaliers to 8-4 this season and
has been named ACC coach of
the year.
DAN MULLEN
Head coach, Mississippi State
Record: 20-17
Age: 39
Alma mater: Ursinus (1994)
RESUME
Mississippi State
Florida
Offensive coordinator/
quarterbacks, 2005-08
Utah
Quarterbacks, 2003-04
Bowling Green
Quarterbacks, 2001-02
Notre Dame
Graduate assistant, 1999-
2000
Syracuse
Graduate assistant, 1998
Columbia
Wide receivers, 1996-97
Wagner
Wide receivers, 1994-95
QUOTABLE: Im sure Im on
everybodys (list). Am I right?
Every time a job comes open,
doesnt my name come up? So,
you know our policy. We talk
Mississippi State football. Thats
all we ever talk about.
Nov. 29 press conference
Neither I, my agent nor the
administration at Mississippi
State University have been con-
tacted by anybody at Penn State
University. Im very happy with
the direction the Mississippi
State program is headed right
now. I will not comment further
in regards to any speculation
about job openings.
Dec. 2 statement
OUTLOOK: As his name con-
tinues to come up over and over
again, Mullen has become more
vocal in his denials.
There has been more smoke
around Mullen than anyone else
thus far, but that doesnt neces-
sarily mean he is the favorite for
the job, regardless of any ESPN
reports.
Mullen was born in the Phila-
delphia area and grew up in
New Hampshire rooting for
Penn State, where his father
graduated around the time
Paterno was being named head
coach.
He had tremendous success
as one of Urban Meyers top
assistants at three different
stops, working directly with
NFL No. 1 overall draft pick
Alex Smith at Utah and Heis-
man winner Tim Tebow at Flor-
ida, where he helped the Gators
win two national titles.
As far as attitude, however,
Mullen is one of the starkest
contrasts to the old regime out
there. His backers say he is
opinionated and confident. His
detractors say he is annoying
and arrogant.
To be sure, Mullen believes in
his abilities a great deal and is
not afraid to engage in a little
back-and-forth with opponents.
MIKE MUNCHAK
Head coach, Tennessee Titans
Record: 6-5 (NFL)
Age: 51
(1981)
RESUME
Tennessee Titans/Houston
Oilers
Head coach since Feb. 7
Offensive line, 1997-2010
Offensive assistant/Quality
control, 1994-96
QUOTABLE: You cant believe
what you hear, I guess, huh? I
know that things are going to
come up with me because Im
from Penn State, because I
played football there and gradu-
ated from there. Its a natural
thing to start wondering. If
something changes, you guys
will be the first one to know.
Dec. 2 to Titans reporters
after practice
OUTLOOK: Eyebrows were
raised across the NFL communi-
ty in the past week when ru-
mors surfaced that the Lacka-
wanna County legend had con-
tacted his alma mater about the
coaching job. For his part, Mun-
chak steadfastly denies he has
had any contact with Penn
State.
But the idea of the Scranton
native returning to State Col-
lege to help rescue the program
holds great appeal to many
alums.
Munchaks reputation is ster-
ling going back to his days at
Scranton Central High School,
Penn State and a Hall of Fame
career on the offensive line with
the Houston Oilers. He is one of
just five Penn State players in
the Pro Football Hall of Fame
and the only Paterno-coached
player to lead an NFL team, an
opportunity he finally got in
February after years of loyalty to
the Oilers/Titans franchise.
The toughest thing for Mun-
chak now is the timing. At an-
other time in his career, he may
have jumped at the chance to
succeed Paterno. But just 11
games into his NFL head coach-
ing career, his Titans are still in
the playoff hunt and could be in
contention until the final week
of the regular season on Jan. 1.
Would Penn State wait that
long for him? Because its hard
to imagine him abandoning his
post in the middle of the season.
TIMMURPHY
Head coach, Harvard
Record: 17-37-1 (FBS), 134-67
(FCS)
Age: 55
Alma mater: Springfield
(1978)
RESUME
Harvard
Cincinnati
Head coach, 1989-93
Maine
Head coach, 1987-88
Offensive coordinator, 1985-
86
Boston University
Offensive line, 1982-84
Lafayette
Defensive line, 1981
Brown
Part-time assistant/Offen-
sive line, 1979-80
QUOTABLE: Both schools
that I was contacted by (neither
being Penn State), I told them
that I was very happy here and
very politely told them that I
was not interested.
Dec. 2 interview with the
Harvard Crimson
You never say never in this
business. But I can say cate-
gorically we are very happy
here. I really enjoy coaching the
kids we have here. I have great
colleagues and Im very happy.
Nov. 17 interview with the
Boston Herald
OUTLOOK: Well, Penn States
last hire from outside the pro-
gram came from the Ivy League
when Rip Engle came aboard in
1950.
Joking aside, Murphy is one
of the most well-respected
coaches in the country at any
level. Its not hard to imagine
Joyner reciting that same creed
about ethics and academics first
when talking about the long-
time Crimson coach.
A head coach for the past 25
seasons at three different
schools, Murphys name is one
of the most experienced that
has surfaced. His only stint at
college footballs top level came
in the early 90s with the Bear-
cats, struggling for four seasons
before lifting the program to an
8-3 record, the teams best in
years.
At Harvard he has turned the
Crimson into the Ivy Leagues
most dominant team, winning
three of the last five conference
titles, four of the last eight and
six total.
All of that is well and good,
but a lack of name recognition
could play a factor here. Joyner
and Erickson may not want to
risk hiring someone who
doesnt move the needle much
with fans if they want the seats
to remain filled and the revenue
to remain high.
DARREN PERRY
Safeties coach, Green Bay
Packers
Record: N/A
Age: 42
(1992)
RESUME
Green Bay Packers
Safeties, 2009-present
Oakland Raiders
Pittsburgh Steelers
Defensive backs assistant,
2003
Cincinnati Bengals
Safeties, 2002
QUOTABLE: If approached by
Penn State, this really would be
the only college job that he
would take a hard look at and
really listen to.
Perrys agent, Chris Turn-
age, Dec. 1 interview with the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Just rumors at this point.
Thats all.
Perry, Dec. 2 interview
with the Journal Sentinel of
Milwaukee
OUTLOOK: Not exactly a seri-
ous candidate. But listed here
mainly because he is a rare
coach who has not denied in-
terest in the job.
An All-America safety at Penn
State, Perry played seven sea-
sons with the Steelers, garner-
ing an All-Pro selection in 1994
and starting in the Super Bowl
at the end of the 1995 season.
As a coach, he has two Super
Bowl rings 2005 with the
Steelers and 2010 with the Pack-
ers, who remain undefeated this
season.
A case of legitimate interest,
or a case of an agent trying to
drum up attention for a client?
THE FIELD
Naturally the options arent
limited to those listed above.
More names are sure to emerge
in the coming days, and Penn
State people have been especial-
ly tight-lipped about specific
targets.
A few names that were promi-
nent immediately after Pater-
nos ousting have since signed
contract extensions at their
current schools.
The most discussed coach
there would be Al Golden, who
was given an extra four years
onto his original deal at Miami
in the past week. Golden, a
former Penn State captain and
assistant coach, had turned
around a hopeless program at
Temple and had been consid-
ered a serious candidate to
replace Paterno.
I believe I will be at Miami in
2012, Golden said four days
before his new contract was
announced.
Rutgers coach Greg Schiano
is another former Penn State
assistant whose name has not
come up much in recent weeks
after initial speculation.
In the same boat as Golden,
Vanderbilt head coach James
Franklin also signed an exten-
sion with the Commodores this
past week in the wake of his
name being linked to openings,
including Penn State.
Then there are the two coach-
es who come up with every
national opening TCUs Gary
Patterson and Boise States
Chris Petersen. There is nothing
linking either head coach to
Penn State yet.
Patterson and the Horned
Frogs are set to join the Big 12
and Petersen has reportedly
rebuffed an inquiry from UCLA
this week.
Louisvilles Charlie Strong
and Houstons Kevin Sumlin
have drawn plenty of attention
as jobs across the country have
opened up since the end of the
regular season. Sumlin has
already been linked to talks with
Arizona State and Texas A&M.
Northwestern coach Pat Fitz-
gerald was thought of highly by
Paterno, creating buzz that the
young boss of the Wildcats
could be an option in the past
two years. But pulling him away
from his alma mater would have
been tough enough without the
added image problems from the
scandal.
Likewise, Iowas Kirk Ferentz
no longer comes up in connec-
tion to Penn State as he did in
past years.
That would leave a trium-
virate of former NFL coaches
that are mentioned for every
major opening at every level of
football Bill Cowher, Tony
Dungy and John Gruden.
But aside from a brief note-
book item in a column on
CBSsports.com mentioning
Dungy having passing interest,
there is nothing linking any of
them to Penn State.
What happens next is any-
ones guess.

HOUSTON Austin Davis
threw four touchdown passes
and No. 24 Southern Mississip-
pi ruined Houstons perfect
season and Bowl Championship
Series hopes with a 49-28 victo-
ry over the seventh-ranked
Cougars on Saturday.
It was star quarterback Case
Keenums last home game for
Houston for sure, and couldve
also been the finale for coach
Kevin Sumlin, who has been
mentioned as a top candidate
for virtually every higher-profile
job opening.
Houston (12-1) was poised to
impress a national-television
audience and representatives
from the Orange and Sugar
Bowl, who attended Saturdays
game. Keenum couldve also
made one last case for an in-
vitation to next weeks Heisman
Trophy ceremony.
Instead, the Golden Eagles
(11-2) turned it into their big
day, shackling Houstons high-
powered offense and striking
with several big plays of their
own to win their first league
title.
No. 3 Oklahoma St. 44,
No. 13 Oklahoma 10
STILLWATER, Okla. Jo-
seph Randle ran for 151 yards
and two touchdowns, Richetti
Jones returned a fumble for a
score and No. 3 Oklahoma State
throttled No. 13 Oklahoma
44-10 Saturday night to win the
Big 12 championship and make
its case to play for a national
title.
The Cowboys (11-1, 8-1 Big
12) snapped an eight-game
losing streak in the Bedlam
rivalry and won their first out-
right conference title since 1948
in the three-team Missouri
Valley.
No. 21 Clemson 38, No. 5
Virginia Tech 10
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Tajh
Boyd threw three touchdown
passes and ran for another as
No. 21 Clemson routed No. 5
Virginia Tech 38-10 Saturday
night to win its first Atlantic
Coast Conference champion-
ship in 20 years.
The Tigers (10-3) clinched
their first Orange Bowl berth
since 1981, the year they won
their only national champion-
ship. Clemson wont be playing
for a national title this season,
but the victory was still sweet
considering theyd lost three of
four games to close the regular
season.
Clemson scored three touch-
downs on five plays in a span of
4:24 in the third quarter to
break open a 10-10 tie at half-
time.
No. 9 Boise St 45,
New Mexico 0
BOISE, Idaho Kellen
Moore threw three touchdowns
in the final home game of his
brilliant career and Doug Mar-
tin ran for two more as No. 9
Boise State rolled over New
Mexico 45-0 Saturday.
Moore, the winningest start-
ing quarterback in college foot-
ball history, was nearly flawless
and the Broncos defense had
no problem bottling up the
punchless Lobos.
Moore was 28 of 33 for 313
yards before heading for the
sideline midway through the
third quarter. His three touch-
downs give him 41 for the sea-
son, setting a new school sin-
gle-season record. He also set a
new school record for comple-
tions in a season with 300.
Martin rushed for 110 yards
on 19 carries, and his 40-yard
touchdown run in the third
quarter gave the Broncos a 38-0
lead.
No. 16 Kansas State 30,
Iowa State 23
MANHATTAN, Kan. John
Hubert ran for 120 yards and
the go-ahead touchdown, and
No. 16 Kansas State kept alive
its chances for a share of the
Big 12 championship with a
30-23 victory over Iowa State
on Saturday.
Collin Klein ran for a touch-
down and threw for another,
and Anthony Cantele was per-
fect on three field-goal at-
tempts, allowing the Wildcats
(10-2, 7-2) to reach 10 wins for
the first time since 2003, when
they knocked off Oklahoma in
the Big 12 title game.
The Wildcats need some help
from the Sooners this time.
If No. 13 Oklahoma beat
third-ranked Oklahoma State in
Bedlam on Saturday night, the
teams will have finished in a
three-way tie atop the confer-
ence and share the champion-
ship.
Jeff Woody ran for 85 yards
and two touchdowns for the
Cyclones (6-6, 3-6), who be-
came bowl eligible for the sec-
ond time under Paul Rhoads
when they knocked off the
Cowboys a couple weeks ago.
No. 18 TCU 56, UNLV 9
FORT WORTH, Texas
Greg McCoy returned a kickoff
99 yards and Kris Gardner had
a 16-yard interception return for
a touchdown in a 12-second
span, and the 18th-ranked TCU
Horned Frogs could bust into
the BCS again after a 56-9 victo-
ry over UNLV in their Mountain
West Conference finale Sat-
urday.
TCU (10-2, 7-0 MWC) wrap-
ped up its third consecutive
outright Mountain West title,
winning its last 24 games in
that league before moving to
the Big 12 next season.
The consecutive TD returns
by McCoy and Gardner just
before halftime came about the
same time Southern Miss was
wrapping up a 49-28 victory at
previously undefeated Houston
in the Conference USA cham-
pionship game.
If the Frogs move up two
spots into the top 16 of the final
Bowl Championship Series
standings Sunday, they will be
virtually guaranteed to go to
their third consecutive BCS
game.
No. 19 Baylor 48, Texas 24
WACO, Texas Robert
Griffin III ran for two touch-
downs and passed for two more
to lead No. 19 Baylor to a 48-24
win over Texas, capping the
Bears best regular season in 25
years and perhaps doing
enough to persuade Heisman
Trophy voters hes the best
player in college football.
Baylors defense, ranked
among the worst in the nation,
gave up a 14-0 lead but also
forced six turnovers, three of
them setting up Baylor touch-
downs.
Baylor fans will now wonder
if Griffin has played his last
home game for the Bears (9-3,
6-3 Big 12). Griffin, a fourth-
year junior who has already
graduated, must decide if he
will leave for the NFL.
Case McCoy passed for 356
yards and three touchdowns for
Texas (7-5, 4-5) but had five
turnovers.
For Griffin, beating a Texas
program that had pounded the
Bears for years will go down as
one of the greatest achieve-
ments of a stellar career.
Baylor reached nine wins for
the first time since 1986 and
Griffin has led Baylor to consec-
utive bowl games for the first
time since the early 1990s. He is
also just the third player in
major college history with
10,000 yards passing and 2,000
yards rushing.
Cincinnati 35,
Connecticut 27
CINCINNATI Munchie
Legaux threw a career-high
three touchdown passes on
Saturday, and Cincinnatis de-
fense got two scores of its own,
setting up a 35-27 victory over
Connecticut that left the Bear-
cats one of three teams sharing
the Big East title.
Although the Bearcats (9-3,
5-2) got their third title in four
years, they likely will miss out
on the leagues BCS bid. No. 22
West Virginia (9-3, 5-2) will get
it if, as expected, the Mountain-
eers are the highest-ranked Big
East team in the final BCS
standings.
Louisville (7-5, 5-2) also
shared the title and would have
gotten the bid if the Bearcats
had lost on Saturday. The Husk-
ies (5-7, 3-4) didnt have anoth-
er upset in them.
Pittsburgh 33, Syracuse 20
PITTSBURGH Antwuan
Reed returned a fumble 20
yards for a touchdown with less
than 3 minutes remaining to lift
Pittsburgh to a 33-20 win over
Syracuse on Saturday.
The Panthers (6-6, 4-3 Big
East) became bowl eligible for
the fourth straight year with the
victory. Tino Sunseri threw for
259 yards and a score and Kevin
Harper drilled four field goals
while the Pitt defense forced
the reeling Orange (5-7, 1-6)
into six turnovers.

was gone all the way to the
end zone for his second punt re-
turn for a touchdown in as many
weeks. Well, almost to the end
zone. A replay showed Mathieu
flipped the ball to an official just
before he crossed the goal line,
but nooneonthefieldcaught the
blunder.
That was long forgotten by the
time the fearless sophomore was
done.
On Georgias first possession
of the second half, quarterback
Aaron Murray tried to scramble
for a first down but had the ball
knocked loose just before he hit
the turf. Who was there to fall on
it at the Bulldogs 26?
Mathieu, of course, his fifth
fumble recovery of the season.
LSU quickly seized its first
lead. The Tigers finally picked
up a first down, then freshman
Kenny Hilliard broke off a 15-
yard run for the first of his three
touchdowns. Normally, that
wouldve been more than
enough to win the games MVP
award. Not even close on this
day.
Mathieu, whose nickname
comes from a humorous You-
Tubevideoabout supposedlythe
worlds more fearless animal
(Honey Badger dont care, he
just takes what he wants, the
narrator says), dropped back to
receive another punt. About the
onlythingtheBulldogs managed
todowas keephimout of the end
zone.
The 5-foot-9, 175-pounder cra-
dled the ball, took off down the
center of the field, cut back to his
left, stutter-stepped and turned
on a burst of speed, basically
came to a stop around the Geor-
gia 30, then took off again and
was finally dragged down at the
17.
He avoided or broke away
from at least eight of the 11 red-
clad guys trying to bring him
down, a Heisman-worthy play
that should be enough to at least
get him to New York for the ban-
quet if not earn him serious
consideration for the award as
the nations top player. Certainly,
no defensive player has come up
with more big plays.
Mathieu has scored four
touchdowns this season: two on
returns, two more from his cor-
nerback spot. Hes forced six
fumbles. Hes picked off two pas-
ses. He one of the top tacklers on
one of the nations top defenses.
LSU took control with a 21-
point third quarter, coming back
fromadouble-digit deficit for the
secondweekina rowandleaving
little doubt that its the best team
in the country heading into bowl
season. The only other unbeaten
team, Houston, was blownout in
the Conference USA champion-
ship game Saturday. All the oth-
er top teams have at least one
loss.
If there was ever a year when
no playoff was needed, its this
one. The Tigers have knockedoff
five teams in The Associated
Press current Top 25 includ-
ing three of the top eight. Theyll
still have to win one more game
to claim the BCS title, but a case
can be made that they deserve to
be voted No. 1 in the AP poll, no
matter what happens Jan. 9 in
the Big Easy.
SEC East champion Georgia
came into the game ona10-game
winningstreak, andthe Bulldogs
showed no fear of LSU in the
early going. Murray connected
with Tavarres King on a 44-yard
pass andcouldve hada TDwhen
a pass across the middle went
through Kings hands. They set-
tled for Blair Walshs 40-yard
field goal.
Knowing he would have to
throwcaution to the wind to pull
off the upset against a13-point
favorite, Georgia coach Mark
Richt called an onside kick. It
worked to perfection, Walsh
bouncing the ball off the turf and
high into the air. Alec Ogletree
soared in to grab the ball beyond
the necessary 10 yards, giving
the Bulldogs another posses-
sion.
They shouldve scored a
touchdown. Instead, theywound
up with nothing. Freshman Mal-
colm Mitchell dropped a pass
right in his hands at the LSU 5
with no one around, and Walsh
missed a 45-yard try.
But LSU couldnt do anything
withthe ball. The Tigers longest
play in the first half was 9 yards.
Eleven of their 21 plays went for
zero or negative yards. Outside
of Mathieu, punter Brad Wing
was LSUs best field-turning
weapon, averaging 54.1 yards on
his first seven punts.
Both offenses stalled in the
second quarter, managing a
grand total of 2 yards 1 for
each team. Georgia went to the
locker roomwith a commanding
135-12leadintotal yards, but cer-
tainly a sense it had missed its
chance to put away LSU.

LUBBOCK, Texas Kierra
Mallard had 18 points and 15 re-
bounds to help No. 19 Texas Tech
beat No. 16 Penn State 70-66 on
Saturday.
Jordan Barncastle made a 3-
pointer off an inbounds pass with
2 seconds to play to seal the win
for the Lady Raiders (7-0), who
held off a pair of late surges by
Penn State (6-2).
Texas Tech led by seven with
3:30 to go, but the Lady Lions
twice pulled within one on 3s by
Maggie Lucas and Alex Bentley.
Bentleys shot made it 67-66
with 34 seconds remaining. Penn
State knocked the ball out of
bounds onthe Lady Raiders next
possession with a second left on
the shot clock. Barncastle then
drilled the clinching bucket from
the corner.
Bentley finished with 18
points.

The Big Tens first champion-
ship game made the idea of a
conference title tilt seem like a
good one.
Michigan State (10-3) rallied
from a 21-7 first-quarter deficit
to take a 29-21 halftime lead and
still led 39-34 after Dan Con-
ways 25-yard field midway
through the fourth quarter.
But Wilson and Ball answered
with a score and a 2-point con-
version.
LOSINGNOT ANOPTTION:
Montee Ball responded to the
inquiry with the same style and
attitude he displays when facing
a linebacker one-on-one near
the line of scrimmage.
Asked whether he had pon-
dered the ramifications of a loss
to Michigan State in the Big Ten
title game, Wisconsins junior
tailback didnt shy away from
the issue. He attacked.
"That is the great thing about
playing this great sport, because
there is so much pressure on just
about every game," Ball said.
"But this game there is a lot
more pressure on us. If we do
win well end up in the Rose
Bowl. If we do lose were at the
mercy of other bowls.
"I really do embrace the pres-
sure that is put on us because
that is what I love about the
sport and thats why I play it."
That response should end any
doubt whether Ball is ready to
lead UW against the Spartans at
7:17 p.m. Saturday at Lucas Oil
Stadium.
Ball, the Big Ten offensive
player of the year, wants to play
now.
"Our seniors and leaders have
got to step up and make big
plays," he said. "Just make plays
throughout the entire game."
The stakes for No. 15 UW
(10-2) and No. 11Michigan State
(10-2) couldnt be clearer.
The winner of the inaugural
Big Ten title game secures a
berth in the Rose Bowl.
For UW, that would mean a
second consecutive trip to Pasa-
dena and an opportunity to
make amends for a 21-19 loss to
Texas Christian last season.
For Michigan State, that
would mean returning to the
Rose Bowl for the first time
since the 1987 season, when Ge-
orge Perles was coach and Tony
Mandarich was a first-team All-
American offensive tackle.
SHOWING MUSCLE: The in-
augural Big Ten championship
game will feature plenty of
smashmouth football, which
has been a big part of the
leagues reputation over 115
years.
No. 11 Michigan State will
face No. 15 Wisconsin at 8:17 to-
night at Lucas Oil Stadium with
a Rose Bowl berth on the line.
The Spartans may rank last in
the Big Ten with 139 rushing
yards per game, but they are still
built around a Pound, Green,
Pound philosophy. MSU has
two talented rushers, LeVeon
Bell (794 yards, 10 TDs ) and Ed-
win Baker (624 yards, four TDs
), and a young offensive line that
has made tremendous improve-
ment over the last four weeks.

days rematch with the Steelers,
who held off Cincinnati 24-17 on
the road three weeks ago.
The surprising Bengals (7-4)
trail Baltimore and Pittsburgh
(8-3) by a game in the AFC
North with five weeks to go. A
loss would effectively end Cin-
cinnatis bid for an unlikely divi-
sion title. The way Lewis fig-
ures, no need to downplay the
stakes.
This is abigfootball gamefor
us, no doubt about it, he said.
If we want to have an opportu-
nity to win the AFC North, this
is an important game for us. We
cant fall another gamebehindat
this point.
Neither, in truth, can the
Steelers.
Though Pittsburgh is tied
with the Ravens, Baltimore
holds thetiebreaker after sweep-
ing the season series. Any mis-
step puts the Steelers hopes of a
second straight division title
and homefield advantage
throughout the playoffs in seri-
ous jeopardy, and they know it.
We felt like coming out of the
bye we needed to go 6-0, wide
receiver Mike Wallace said. We
got one down, we still got five to
go.
The Steelers have won six of
seven yet have a tendency to
play to the level of their oppo-
nent. The team that beat the
NewEngland Patriots with rela-
tive ease the day before Hallo-
ween is the same one that strug-
gled to put away reeling Kansas
City 13-9 last week.
Pittsburgh isnt apologizing
for winning ugly, though quar-
terback Ben Roethlisberger in-
sists the offense needs to be-
come more consistent. Wide re-
ceiver Mike Wallace dropped a
pair of deep balls against the
Chiefs that would have broken
the game open while the run-
ning game continued to operate
in sporadic bursts.
It wasnt our best, but guys
understand what time of year it
is, Roethlisberger said. Id
rather stand here and talk about
an ugly win than a pretty loss.
So would the Bengals, though
their spirited play against the
defending AFC champions two
weeks ago even in defeat sig-
naled their hot start was no
fluke. Cincinnati rallied from a
14-0 deficit to tie the game at 17
before wilting in the final min-
utes.
The game served as a litmus
test for rookiequarterbackAndy
Daltons growth, one he passed
flawlessly for three quarters be-
fore a pair of late interceptions
ended Cincinnatis five-game
winning streak.
They try to get into your
head a little bit and try to mess
with you, Dalton said.
Thats the way it tends to go
for rookies facing Pittsburghs
3-4defense. TheSteelers are13-1
against first-year quarterbacks
under defensive coordinator
Dick LeBeau, though Dalton ap-
pears to be a little further down
the road than most 24-year-olds.
I dont know how the talk is,
but hes rookie of the year,
Roethlisberger said. I think hes
that good of a quarterback.
One who doesnt think the
Bengals have to wait their turn
until theRavens andSteelers are
done dominating the division.
Dalton believes the Bengals and
be a playoff team now, not next
year.

LANDOVER, Md. When
Mike Shanahan is joking, he often
has to tell everyone that he is jok-
ing. With him, youre never quite
sure.
When Rex Ryan is joking, its
pretty much obvious. Just this
week he speculated that his New
York Jets might have snagged a

But it works

Both guys have

Both coaches

the staid the say-anything vs.

a fun guy to be around, and he
knows when its time to work and
he knows when its time to have
fun. Thats one of the things that I
noticedwhenI first camehere, was
that Ive never laughed so much in
his meetings.
Its safe to say no player has ever
uttered similar thoughts about
Shanahan.
This weeks game, though, is no
laughing matter for the Jets, who
feel they have to win out to make
the playoffs for a third straight sea-
son. They squeaked by the Buffalo
Bills 28-24 last week, needing a
fourth-quarter rally engineered by
MarkSanchez, just a tentative first
stride in what they hope will be a
sustained winning streak.
Sure, we won last week, San-
chez said. But we know, as an or-
ganization, as anoffense, thats not
a winning formula.
Sanchezs day was as erratic as
anyones. Hewasbooedduringpre-
game introductions, completed
fewer than50 percent of his passes
and threwhis sixth interception in
five games.
But he also tossed a career-high
four touchdown passes, wasnt
sackedfor thefirst timethisseason
and led his ninth career fourth-
quarter or overtime comeback vic-
tory, capped by an 82-yard drive
that produced the go-ahead score
with1:09 to play.

MINNEAPOLIS Percy Harvin was
Tim Tebows flashy sidekick at Florida,
where they ran coach Urban Meyers potent
spread system together and made many a
Saturday afternoon miserable for opposing
defenses.
Man, they were a load. They were the of-
fense. It was a tough combination, said
Vikings safetyJamarca Sanford, whoplayed
against them at Mississippi.
Theyre still a challenge to tackle in the
pros, as unconventional as the skill sets of
each of these former Gators might be for
their respective positions. This weekend,
Tebows and Harvins teams will face each
other for the first time when the Denver
Broncos (6-5) travel to Minnesota (2-9).
Tebows atypical style has become the
story of the season, with the Broncos 5-1
since he took over as the starter in mid-Oc-
tober despite an average of 10 completed
passes per game in that stretch.
He became famous from a Heisman Tro-
phy award and two national championships
in college, plus an unabashed profession of
Christianfaiththat has either inspiredor of-
fended everyone who has watched himplay
or heard himspeak, judging by the cultural
polarization surrounding
his profile. But the foot-
ball part of all this Tebow
talk is whether a run-first
quarterback with a so-far
inaccurate throwing arm
can sustain such success
for more than a few
months.
There are several rea-
sons why the option is a
scheme thats been used
effectively by college
teams but not in the NFL.
Im not sure, Vikings
linebacker E.J. Hender-
son said, asked why the
Broncos are thriving with
an offense thats not sup-
posed to work. I was one
of those guys that said the
same thing, just because
of the amount of time
your quarterback is going
to get hit. But maybe
theyre successful because of the durability
of Tebow, him being a bigger guy and hav-
ing a running back size compared to a nor-
mal quarterback.
At 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds, Tebowpacks
a punch, and hes faster than a fullback. He
ran the ball 22 times last week in a win over
San Diego, the most in a game by an NFL
quarterback since 1950. Sanford said he
thought he was done defending the option
when he left college.
Hes strong, really one of strongest guys
Ive ever come across, especially at quarter-
back, Sanford said.
Willis McGahee has been running the
ball well, Eric Decker is a sure-handed, big-
play wide receiver and without sound
blocking by the offensive line Tebow
wouldnt be able to find so much room. He
has rushed for 455 yards and averaged 5.8
yards per attempt.

NFL SUNDAY
Irrationally and with doomed results, I found myself predicting losses for the Packers
and Patriots last week. Next time I start to do that, would someone stop me, please?
Those misfires made me so angry I was looking for someone to stomp on like Ndamu-
kong Suh. Instead, I punted my cat. (Decent hang time, but not much roll). On the
brighter side, we bulls-eyed the Redskins outright upset in Seattle last week, and
smartly rode four underdogs with the points: Browns, Bills, Broncos and Chiefs.
PACKERS (11-0) at GIANTS (6-5)
Line: GB by 7
Cotes pick: GB 31-27
Time: 4:15 p.m. EST
Three eight- versus seven-win matchups in Week 13 made this a contentiously thorny
call for the GOTW committee, but I figure this is the Packs toughest remaining road
bump en route to a 16-0 regular season, so call it a nod to avid interest by the 72 Dol-
phins and older, history-minded Dolfans. What a brutal schedule stretch for the Biggies.
Poor Tom Coughlin must have been a really bad guy in a former life. Poor Eli Manning,
too, asked week after week to outscore his really bad defense. Saints just slapped
around NYGs D for 49 points. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Aaron Rodgers. Taking a
shot on homies-plus-seven, though. Gee Bees are due a mortal outing, and Eli has a ton
of weapons, including 2011 fantasy gift Victor Cruz and his annoying salsa-dance end
zone celebration.
FALCONS (7-4) at TEXANS (8-3)
Line: ATL by 3
Cotes pick: HOU19-17
Time: 1 p.m.
AAWWK! bellows the Upset Bird, soaring in a seasonal elfs hat and a rather fey green
scarf. T.J. Yaaawwwk! I like the home dog Texans here precisely because this game will
NOT be about the first career start of fifth-round rookie QB T.J. Yates, who is subbing
for injured starter Matt Schaub and injured backup Matt Leinart, with the newly signed
ghost of Jake Delhomme now behind the Break In Case Of Emergency glass. Yates is
well-insulated. Houston is a solid home team (4-1) with arguably the best defense in the
NFL and with the best running back tandem in Arian Foster and Ben Tate. Lantas run-D
is stout; Houstons run-O is stouter. Also, Falcs could be without RB Michael Turner
(groin), or see him limited. Deck the halls with boughs of Foster, carols U-Bird. Fa la la
la la, la la la laaawwwk!
COLTS (0-11) at PATRIOTS (8-3)
Line: NE by 20
Cotes pick: NE 28-10
Time: 1 p.m.
There are games Id less rather watch, but no others present the potential for unbridled,
cartoonishly outlandish lopsidedness. A 20-point spread!? What is this, Alabama-FAU?
Winless Indy fired its defensive coordinator and is lifting QB Dan Orlovsky from a crate
of mothballs for his first career start since December 2008. Hey, how much worse can
he be? Patriots probably could win by 45 if they chose, and might, but Im hunching that
Bill Belichick will be actively coaching to not embarrass an opponent that, with Peyton
Manning, had been something of a nemesis for the Pats. Might even be an early rest for
Dimples Brady and a fair dose of Brian Hoyer handing off. At least thats what this pick is
hoping.
PANTHERS (3-8) at BUCCANEERS (4-7)
Line: TB by 3
Cotes pick: TB 24-21
Time: 1 p.m.
Cam Newton and Josh Freeman have combined to throw 30 interceptions so Im guess-
ing this battle to avoid the NFC South cellar will come down to mistakes/turnovers.
Carolina is only 1-4 on road, so look for Tee Bees to snap a five-game losing skid with a
third win in a row this series. Freeman will outplay Newton if not necessarily out-yard
him. Give me Cats, though, with that dangling extra half point on the bet line.
RAIDERS (7-4) at DOLPHINS (3-8)
Line: MIA by 3
Cotes pick: MIA 23-17
Time: 1 p.m.
Brandon Marshall reportedly got apprehended for skipping out on a taxi fare recently.
Heres hoping he eludes Raiders cornerbacks more successfully than he dodges cabbies.
Part of me wonders if Dolphins should even be favored here, but improving Miami
makes the perfect spoiler that playoff-angling teams like Oakland do not want to face
right now. I think Dolphins can control the ball against Oaklands grade-D run stopping
(they allow 5.3 yards per carry) more than I think Raiders can run wild on Miamis front
seven. Carson Palmer will go bombs away if needed but also is pick-prone (eight in 136
passes). Key to the game, for me, is Miamis O-line protecting a hot Matt Moore against
what can be a menacing pass rush that has produced 15 sacks in past three games. With
Oakies facing Green Bay next and possibly in look-ahead mode, give me a Miami squad
that has won 10 of past 12 vs. Raiders especially with extra time to prepare after
playing on Thanksgiving. If the Dolphins of the past month had come out the gate like
this, we would be talking playoffs right now. Sad. Probably better not to think about it, I
guess.
BENGALS (7-4) at STEELERS (8-3)
Line: PIT by 6
Cotes pick: PIT 27-20
Time: 1 p.m.
Pittsburgh has won three in a row and eight of past 10 in this division series, and it would
be an odd time to hop off that trend as the rivalry heads back to Steelville. But Cincy is
4-2 away and showed just three weeks ago (losing 24-17) that its improvement has
narrowed the disparity in these teams. Assuming Troy Polamalu will play and liking Pitt
and its hot run defense on the cover, but barely.
JETS (6-5) at REDSKINS (4-7)
Line: NYJ by 3
Cotes pick: NYJ17-13
Time: 1 p.m.
Rex Ryans Planes (downgraded from Jets) are a bit healthier getting LaDainian Tom-
linson back but are 1-4 traveling and must find a way to win away from the Jersey
swamp. Skins defense will keep them in this game but in the NFC only the Rams score
fewer points. Braggin NYJ has no margin of error in its uphill climb to playoffs, so let
that desperation steer this pick.
BRONCOS (6-5) at VIKINGS (2-9)
Line: MIN by 1
Cotes pick: MIN 24-20
Time: 1 p.m.
Denver and the almighty Tim Tebow have won four in a row, while sliding Minnesota has
been on a season-long slide likely will be without Adrian Peterson again. So logic says
Broncos here in a near-pick-em game, but I just have a hunch on Vikings. Broncs due a
letdown after beating Chargers in OT last week. Purples still stop the run and Tebow,
forced to throw, will suffer the sin of defeat, amen.
TITANS (6-5) at BILLS (5-6)
Line: BUF by 1
Cotes pick: BUF 20-17
Time: 1 p.m.
Buffalo is 4-1 at home and Wingville in winter offers a sizable home-field edge a com-
fort desperately needed by a team that has dropped four straight. Bison have been
better defensively at home, with 12 of their 16 interceptions there. Hot Chris Johnson will
get his yards, more reward for his patient fantasy owners, but make it Williams in a
venue call.
CHIEFS (4-7) at BEARS (7-4)
Line: CHI by 7
Cotes pick: CHI 16-13
Time: 1 p.m.
Chiefs were being coy but as the week wore on seemed more and more likely to start
recently signed ex-Bear (and Bronco) Kyle Orton at QB over Tyler Palko. Why not?
Meantime Caleb Hanie continues to sub for Chitown, but thats OK because Matt Forte
should run hugely vs. lousy KC run-stoppage. I like a good home team over a bad Chiefs
offense, but take visitors with points.
RAVENS (8-3) at BROWNS (4-7)
Line: BAL by 6
Cotes pick: BAL 27-9
Time: 4:05 p.m.
Cleveland has 21 points just once all season, and the Ravens are not an opponent
against whom offenses tend to get well. Joe Flacco is 6-0 in this series, Crows have won
four of past five in Clevetown, and also have had extra time to prepare after playing on
Thanksgiving. Oh, and Ray Rice will rule your fantasy day. Not giving Earthtones much
of a chance, even in the defanged Dawg Pound.
COWBOYS (7-4) at CARDINALS (4-7)
Line: DAL by 4
Cotes pick: DAL 24-21
Time: 4:15 p.m.
Medium-to-large upset potential here. Cardbirds have beaten Boys two times in a row
and could get QB Kevin Kolb back, which is huge because compared to abysmal John
Skelton hes pretty good. Cant count on another out-of-nowhere 228 yards from Beanie
Wells, though. Also, aside to Dallas punter: Dont kick it to Patrick Peterson. Better to
punt it into Section 104.
RAMS (2-9) at 49ERS (9-2)
Line: SF by 13
Cotes pick: SF 27-0
Time: 4:15 p.m.
This ranks with Pats-Colts as Week 13s least-likely upset as the NFLs best (Niners) and
worst (Rammed) run defenses take the field. His fantasy owners will throw a parade for
Frank Gore. So will teams that have San Frans defense. Niners, who played on Thanks-
giving, have had extra time to plan the celebration of their first division title since 2002.
LIONS (7-4) at SAINTS (8-3)
Line: NO by 9
Cotes pick: NO 31-27
TV: 8:20 p.m.
Give Motown half an upset shot in this prime timer, even with DT Ndamukong Suh
serving a two-game suspension for his Thanksgiving Stomp. Lions have had extra time
to prepare, are 4-1 on the road and are desperately on far edge of wild-card contention
at the moment. In Drew Brees I trust, but nine points is still a lot to give Matthew Staf-
ford against a beatable Saints secondary.
CHARGERS (4-7) at JAGUARS (3-8)
Line: SD by 2
Cotes pick: SD 25-17
Time: 8:30 p.m. Monday
Monday night stinker is the Calamity Bowl. San D has lost six in a row as coach Norv
Turner continues to build his career coffin. Jacksonville fired coach Jack Del Rio and
agreed to sell the franchise to a Pakistani businessman named Shahid Khan (which must
absolutely thrill all themgood ol boys up in the Panhandle). Jax is 2-0 all-time vs. the
Bolts and upset Ravens on MNF in Week 7, while having any faith at all in San Diego is
more dangerous than a pack of cigarettes. And yet I like the Bolts! Anybody got a match?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Packers-Giants. Afewweeks ago,
that sounded like a playoff pre-
view, maybe even for the NFC
championship.
Youknow, oneof thoseDecem-
ber games with all kinds of impli-
cations for January.
The defending Super Bowl
champion Packers were unde-
feated and the Giants were a
team to be
reckoned with
after going to
New England
and ending the
Patriots 20-
game, regular-
season home
winningstreak.
Three weeks
later, the Pack
(11-0) and Aa-
ron Rodgers
are still chasing
perfection. A
win today at
MetLife Stadi-
umwill clincha
third straight
playoff berth
and possibly
the NFC North
title, depend-
ingonwhat De-
troit and Chica-
go do.
For the Giants, hopes of get-
ting back to the playoffs for the
first time since 2008 have taken a
beating. Losses to San Francisco
and Philadelphia, then a thrash-
ing in New Orleans on Monday
night have wiped out New Yorks
two-game lead in the NFC East,
leaving it with a 6-5 record, a
game behind Dallas with five
games to go.
So while the Packers deal with
questions about matching Mia-
mis undefeated season in 1972,
the Giants are fielding annoying
questions about a collapse for the
third straight season.
After giving up 577 yards and
49 points to Drew Brees and the
Saints, the idea that the Giants
might knock Mike McCarthys
team from the undefeated ranks
seems ludicrous.
Dont tell that to either the Gi-
ants or the Packers.
Drews a talented quarter-
back. Hes one of the top guys in
the league for sure. And he was
hot, Rodgers said in tossing out
the Giants last game. He got the
ball out of his hand quickly, dealt
the ball well, spread it around
good. They ran the ball effective-
ly.
This is a talented team, their
backs are against the wall, theyre
a game back in the division,
theyre a game back in the wild
card. Its atoughenvironment. So
were expecting them to play
well.
The Giants must improve dras-
ticallyinalmost all phases tobeat
Green Bay. The 577 yards surren-
dered were the second highest
single-game total by anopponent
in New Yorks 87-year history.
While Eli Manning and the of-
fense put up 24 points, most
came in the second half by a unit
that has failed to produce a first-
half touchdown during the cur-
rent slide.
Coach Tom Coughlin believes
his teamwill bounce back, andso
do his players.
We have great character on
this team, guys who are mature
and understand we still have a
shot. We still can make a good
run, Manning said. Its how do
we finish the season? Its how do
we dofromhere onout. It doesnt
matter what has happened the
last three weeks or the first three
weeks. We still have five games
left and howwe finish the season
will determine how our season
goes.
New York does have a little
wiggle room, even if it loses to
Green Bay, which would not be
surprising considering the Pack-
ers ripped the Giants 45-17 in
Green Bay late last season to
start their current 17-game win-
ningstreakandignitetheir runto
the NFL title.
The Giants will have four
games remaining, including two
with Dallas. If they ran the table,
they would win the division title.
The Packers, on the other
hand, are talking more about
their quest for a perfect season.
Were embracing it, lineback-
er Clay Matthews said. Were
not shying away fromit. The fact
is weve been able to stay unde-
feated for a little while now. We
have to take it 12-0 in order to get
towhat youweresaying. Well try
and go 12-0 this week against a
good New York team and take it
from there, and then hopefully
take it game by game and work
towards our ultimate goal.
Rodgers, thefirst player inNFL
history to post a 100-plus passer
rating in 11 straight games,
doesnt want to look too far
ahead.
"That is not somethingthat we
vocally talk about as a goal, he
said. Our goal is to win the divi-
sion first, get a home game and
give ourselves a chance and go
fromthere. We put ourselves in a
good position to be able to talk
about those things by taking care
of business the first 11games. We
are going to keep on plugging
away, and hopefully we will be
able to talk about this at the end
of the season.
If the Giants are going to end
the Packers streak, they need to
put Rodgers on his back a lot
at least a lot more than they have
done to opposing quarterbacks
the past three games. New York,
which had 28 sacks in the first
eight games, has had three in los-
ing the last three contests.

MINNEAPOLIS Donovan
McNabb is a free agent for the
first time in his 13-year career.
After his last two disappointing
stints as a starter, its not clear
what the future has in store for
one of the most accomplished
quarterbacks of his generation.
McNabb was unclaimed by
the waiver deadline on Friday
afternoon, one day after he was
cut by the Minnesota Vikings so
he could pursue an opportunity
for playing time elsewhere.
This was probably the most
desirable outcome, McNabbs
agent, Fletcher Smith, told The
Associated Press on Friday.
This way it really gives him a
chance to weigh his options and
evaluate the situations as they
come and make the best deci-
sion for him.
The intent all along was to
put himself in a position to
explore any opportunities as
they present themselves. He
could not do that while he was
a member of the Minnesota
Vikings.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier
knew McNabb from their days
together in Philadelphia, and he
hand-picked the veteran to
serve as a bridge between Brett
Favre and rookie Christian
Ponder.
But now, the highly deco-
rated quarterback six Pro
Bowls, five NFC championship
games, a Super Bowl appear-
ance and more than 37,000
yards passing has a career
very much in doubt. After lead-
ing the Eagles so proudly for 11
seasons, the 34-year-old
McNabb has stumbled in his
last two stops in Washington
and Minnesota.
Smith said McNabb still
feels he can play at a high level
today.
There was talk of his home-
town Bears putting a claim in
on McNabb after they lost start-
er Jay Cutler to a broken
thumb. But the Bears declined
to do so, hoping that Caleb
Hanie can steer them to the
playoffs before Cutler is healthy
enough to return to the field.
Detroit Lions
PORTLAND, Ore. Police
in Oregon say Detroit Lions
defensive tackle Ndamukong
Suh crashed his car into a tree
in downtown Portland, but was
not injured.
Police say Suh was not im-
paired and was cooperative
with officers following the
accident at about 1:15 a.m.
Saturday. Suh lost control of
the 1970 Chevrolet Coupe he
was driving, which then hit a
curb, light pole, drinking foun-
tain and tree. His vehicle was
towed from the scene.
Suh had two passengers in
the vehicle. They were not
injured.
San Francisco 49ers
SANTA CLARA, Calif.
The 49ers are a big step closer
to moving from San Francisco
to a new stadium about 45
miles south in Santa Clara.
The team and City of Santa
Clara announced on Friday that
they have secured long-awaited
funding for the project. Gold-
man Sachs, Bank of America-
Merrill Lynch and U.S. Bank
have agreed to an $850 million
loan with the citys stadium
authority and the 49ers.

THOUSANDOAKS, Calif. (AP) ZachJohnsonneed-
ed something special to track down Tiger Woods in the
Chevron World Challenge. Holing a 7-iron from the 18th
fairway for eagle did the trick Saturday.
Johnsons shot from163 yards landed near the cup and
spuninto the hole, giving hima 4-under 68 anda one-shot
lead over Woods going into the final round at Sherwood
Country Club.
It was the second
eagle on the back
nine for Johnson,
who also chipped in
on the par-5 11th.
Woods had the 36-
hole lead for the sec-
ond straight tourna-
ment, and for the sec-
ond straight time
failed to break par in
the third round. He
had three bogeys on
the par 5s and had to
settle for a 73, though
he had few com-
plaints.
The wind was
strong and chilly
from the start, and
rarely stayed the
same direction very
long. With a wedge in
his hand, Woods went
some 40 feet long on the second hole that led to a three-
putt bogey. Another wedge on the par-5 13th sailed over
the green and left a pitch he had no chance to get close.
Both players ran into trouble on the par-5 16th.
Johnson was playing in the group ahead of Woods, felt
the breeze in his face and tried to hammer a driver that
went left of the grass andinto the gallery. He triedto clear
a creekandwent intothe trees tothe right before pitching
out and taking a bogey.
Woods was in the fairway, but says a gust took his fair-
way metal too far right and into a hazard. He thought
about trying to hit out behinda pair of rocks before choos-
ing to take a penalty drop, and he also made bogey.
The difference was how they finished.
Johnson three-putted the 17th for another bogey, then
drilled his 7-iron at the flag on the 18th for the most un-
likely finish to his round. The eagle put him at 8-under
208.
Woods had to settle for pars.

IONIA, Mich. Bernard Bax-
ter, 85, has shot almost as many
deer as the number of years he
has been hunting.
This year on Nov. 16, using his
trusty Remington 16-gauge,
three-shot automatic shotgun, he
shot his 55th, a six-point buck.
However, he saidhe didnot think
it to be any kind of milestone.
"I just figured its another one
on my list," said Baxter.
A list is certainly something
Baxter keeps handy. He has re-
corded a journal entry for every
hunting expedition since his very
first time in1943. It includes who
hehuntedwith, thedateandtime
he began, the weather conditions
of the day, whether he useda bow
or shotgun, the weight of the
deer, and more.
"I dont know why (I) started
doing it, but I kept track every
year," Baxter said, adding he
wouldlike toremember eachout-
ing.
In addition to the 68-year-old
journal, Baxter continues to use
the same red wool hunting suit
he bought in 1943, which is in
outstanding condition.
"Its good and warm," he said,
adding he also uses a knife of the
same age to clean the deer. "As
long as its workable, I keep it."
Baxter lives in Ionia and hunts
on the property of Don and
Elaine Nash on David Highway.
"I just enjoy being out there,"
Baxter said. "I like to get out and
see the birds and the chip-
munks."
Born and raised in Crystal,
Baxter saidhe beganhuntingdue
to the interest he gained fromhis
brothers and father who partici-
pated in the sport. He first hunt-
ed pheasants, he said, and the
hobby stuck. From there, he has
hunted in the lower and upper
peninsulas of Michiganandinthe
westernpart of the UnitedStates.
Though he uses a shotgun
now, Baxter said he previously
would also hunt using a bow.
"I used to like bow hunting be-
cause you hunt on a deers level,"
he added.
Baxters daughter, Shirley
McGinn, saidshe is proudthat he
can still hunt and added she feels
it is good for him to do so.
"I think its pretty awesome he
still does it," said McGinn.
When Baxter hunts, he said he
likes to begin in the early morn-
ing before 7 a.m. and stay out for
the entire day. The fellowship
that comes with the sport and al-
so breakfast with friends is what
he enjoys most, he added.
"Id like to continue until Im
not able," Baxter said.

NEWARK, N.J. Animal activ-
ists said Friday there wasnt
enoughtimeforthemtochallenge
acourt decisionallowingNewJer-
seys black bear hunt to begin
Monday, but that they planned
protests next week and will push
to block next years hunt.
A state appeals court ruled
Thursday that the hunt could go
onas scheduled. Thecourt turned
awayclaimsfromTheAnimal Pro-
tection League of NewJersey and
TheBear EducationandResource
Group that the states bear man-
agement policy was flawed.
On Friday, Doris Lin, an attor-
ney representing the groups, said
they would ask the state Supreme
Court to hear the issue.
We are filing an appeal, but
there wouldnt be time to get a de-
cision by (Friday), so theres no
rushtogotocourt, Linsaid. But
all next week were going to have
protests all six days of the
hunt.
The groups also sued last year
but failed to stop a hunt in which
nearly 600 bears were killed. Lin
saidtheywouldfileanappeal next
weekandseektoblocknext years
hunt.
A legal challenge to the hunt
succeeded in 2007 and no hunt
was held after a court found flaws
with the management policy.
That court said the 2005 hunt
should not have taken place. A
new policy has since been adopt-
ed.
In its opinion this week, the
stateappealscourt rejectedtheac-
tivists argument that the popula-
tion management policy was de-
veloped arbitrarily. The three-
judge panel said repeatedly in its
ruling that it deferred to the agen-
cy that developed the document,
and found it to be based on thor-
ough research and sound science.
State wildlife officials have said
the hunt is necessary to keep the
states black bear population, now
thought tonumber about 3,400, in
check. The population has re-
mained fairly stable after increas-
ingly dramatically since the
1980s.

ATLANTA A 48-year-old
Villa Rica man has been sen-
tenced in federal court for at-
tempting to ship deer fromPenn-
sylvania to his ranch in Georgia.
Donald Lee Vaughn was sen-
tenced on Wednesday to pay a
$20,000 fine and was ordered to
serve six months probation
Shipping wildlife across state
lines without testing for illness
and disease potentially threatens
the health of our wild deer pop-
ulation, U.S. Attorney Sally
Quillian Yates said in a news re-
lease. Experts tell us that once
diseases spread, they are almost
impossible to eradicate.
Prosecutors say that in 2009,
Vaughn paid $6,000 for five
white-tailed deer froma dealer in
Pennsylvania and then attempt-
ed to transport an additional six
whitetail deer that he purchased
from the same dealer.
The shipment was stopped by
a Yadkin County, N.C., sheriffs
deputy. TheNorthCarolinaWild-
life Resources Commission de-
terminedthere were notransport
permits or health certificates ac-
companying the deer.
Federal law requires that any
deer shipped out of state to be
tested for tuberculosis and ac-
companied by proper ear tags
and a veterinarians certificate,
prosecutors said. Most states al-
so prohibit introducing deer that
are not from a herd certified as
free from Chronic Wasting Dis-
ease.
The case was investigated by
agents of the U.S. Fish and Wild-
life Service working with the Ge-
orgia Department of Natural Re-
sources andNorthCarolina Wild-
life Resources Commission, and
prosecuted by Shennie Patel of
the Justice Departments Envi-
ronmental Crimes Section and
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary C.
Roemer.

HARRISBURG Pennsylvania
Game Commission officials,
joined by veterinarians and lab-
oratory technicians from the Penn-
sylvania and U.S. departments of
Agriculture, will continue their
efforts to sample thousands of
hunter-killed deer to determine
whether chronic wasting disease
(CWD) has come to the Common-
wealth.
For nearly a decade, we have
tested hunter-killed deer, and have
not found or confirmed any cases
of CWD-infected deer in Penn-
sylvania, said Carl G. Roe, Game
Commission executive director.
We are planning to collect sam-
ples from about 4,000 hunter-
killed deer to test for CWD in the
firearms deer season. Last year,
we tested samples from 3,882
deer. CWD was not detected in
any of the samples.
Game Commission deer aging
teams started collecting deer
heads throughout the state Nov.
29 the second day of the states
two-week rifle deer season. The
heads will be taken to the six
Game Commission region offices,
where samples will be collected
for testing.
The CWD tests on these deer
samples will be conducted at the
University of Pennsylvanias veter-
inary diagnostic laboratory at the
New Bolton Center in Chester
County. Results are expected in
2012.
The Game Commission collect-
ed CWD samples (brain tissue and
lymph nodes) from elk that were
not to be mounted, and requested
that taxidermists submit the
caped heads from elk provided by
hunters seeking to have their
trophies mounted. Elk hunters
were provided pre-paid mailers for
taxidermists to submit the sam-
ples. All elk samples will be tested
for CWD at the New Bolton Cen-
ter as well.
The Game Commission also
collected lung samples to look for
signs of tuberculosis, and blood
samples to look for evidence of
brucellosis from the 53 elk har-
vested. Dr. Walter Cottrell, Game
Commission wildlife veterinarian,
said the agency will release the
elk and deer test results as soon as
they are available.
The Game Commission, with
the assistance of the Pennsylvania
and U.S. departments of agricul-
ture, has conducted tests on more
than 350 elk and more than
30,000 deer killed by hunters in
Pennsylvania during the past nine
years. Since 1998, more than 1,100
deer and elk that had died of un-
known illness or were exhibiting
abnormal behavior also have been
tested. No evidence of CWD has
been found in these samples. The
Game Commission will continue
to collect samples from deer and
elk that appear sick or behave
abnormally, with special emphasis
in the area closest to the known
positive case in Allegheny County,
Maryland.
Even though CWD had not been
detected in Pennsylvania, CWD
testing of healthy appearing hun-
ter-killed deer or elk is available
through the New Bolton Center.
Hunters who wish to have their
deer tested may do so for a fee by
making arrangements with the
New Bolton Center Laboratory
(610-444-5800).
First observed in 1967, CWD is
a transmissible spongiform en-
cephalopathy (TSE) that affects
cervids, including all species of
deer, elk and moose. It is a pro-
gressive and always fatal disease,
which scientists believe is caused
by an agent capable of transform-
ing normal brain proteins into an
abnormal form.
There currently is no practical
way to test live animals for CWD,
and there is no vaccine to prevent
an animal from contracting the
disease. There is no cure for ani-
mals that become infected. There
is no evidence of CWD being
transmissible to humans or to
other non-cervid livestock under
normal conditions.
Deer harboring CWD may not
show any symptoms in the dis-
eases early stages. The usual
incubation period for CWD is
between 12-24 months. Common-
ly observed signs of an infected
animal include lowered head and
ears, uncoordinated movement,
rough-hair coat, weight loss, in-
creased thirst, excessive drooling,
weakness, and ultimately, death.
The Center for Disease Control
has investigated any connection
between CWD and the human
forms of TSEs and stated the risk
of infection with the CWD agent
among hunters is extremely small,
if it exists at all and it is ex-
tremely unlikely that CWD would
be a food-borne hazard.
We count on hunters, who
spend a lot of time in the woods,
to be our eyes when they head out
to hunt, Roe said. With the help
of the nearly one million deer
hunters who go afield, we can
cover a lot of ground.
If hunters see something un-
usual or abnormal, they should
contact us and provide as much
specific information as possible.
CWD is present in free-ranging
or captive wildlife populations in
19 states and two Canadian prov-
inces. The Game Commission has
been working with other state
agencies to protect the Common-
wealths wild and captive deer and
elk by emphasizing measures
designed to prevent its introduc-
tion into the state.
Information on CWD also is
published on page 52 of the 2011-
12 Pennsylvania Hunting and
Trapping Digest, which is present-
ed to each license buyer.
We know that Pennsylvania
hunters are just as concerned
about keeping CWD out of Penn-
sylvania as we are, and we are
confident that they will do all they
can to protect the Common-
wealths whitetail and elk pop-
ulations, Roe said.
State Game Commission rounds up veterinarians and lab techs in an endless pursuit of a big target,
but its one search everyone hopes will keep proving fruitless
Hunting for deer disease
In an effort to prevent the introduc-
tion of CWD into the Commonwealth,
the Game Commission has imple-
mented an executive order prohib-
iting hunters from importing specific
carcass parts from members of the
deer family including mule deer, elk
and moose from19 states and two
Canadian provinces.
This importation ban affects hunters
heading to: Colorado, Illinois, Kansas,
Maryland (only from CWD Manage-
ment Area), Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New
Mexico, New York (only from Madi-
son and Oneida counties), North
Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
Utah, Virginia (only from CWD Con-
tainment Area), West Virginia (only
from CWD Containment Area), Wis-
consin and Wyoming, as well as the
Canadian provinces of Alberta and
Saskatchewan.
The executive order prohibits hun-
ters from bringing back certain parts
from any cervid from the listed
states or provinces, whether the
animal was taken from the wild or
from a captive, high-fence operation.
The specific carcass parts that can-
not be brought back to Pennsylvania
by hunters are the ones where the
CWD prions (the causative agent)
concentrate in cervids, and they are:
the head (including brain, tonsils,
eyes and any lymph nodes); spinal
cord/backbone; spleen; skull plate
with attached antlers, if visible brain
or spinal cord tissue is present; cape,
if visible brain or spinal cord tissue is
present; upper canine teeth, if root
structure or other soft tissue is
present; any object or article con-
taining visible brain or spinal cord
tissue; unfinished taxidermy mounts;
and brain-tanned hides.
The prohibition does not limit the
importation of: meat, without the
backbone; cleaned skull plate with
attached antlers, if no visible brain
or spinal cord tissue is present;
tanned hide or raw hide with no
visible brain or spinal cord tissue
present; cape, if no visible brain or
spinal cord tissue is present; upper
canine teeth, if no root structure or
other soft tissue is present; and
finished taxidermy mounts.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission will continue collecting samples from some 4,000 hunter-killed deer
in an effort to protect against the spread of CWD. Over nine years of testing, no cases have been found.

COMMISSION PHOTOGRAPHY
CONTEST Deadline Extended to
Dec. 31
Theres still time to enter the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commis-
sions (PFBC) annual photography
contest. The Commission has extend-
ed its deadline for entries to Dec. 31.
Past winners have seen their
works featured in Commission publi-
cations such as Pennsylvania Angler
& Boater magazine, and enlarged as
visuals for PFBC sportshow exhibits.
The contest is a great way for
angling and boating photographers
to not only show their craft but to
also show their appreciation for the
Commonwealths fishing and boating
opportunities and aquatic resources.
There are three judged categories
this year with highly valued top
prizes.
The category Anglers and Boa-
ters invites photographers to partic-
ipate with submissions showing
themselves and family members on
the water. Waterway Scenics in-
vites inspiring environmental images
of your favorite Pennsylvania stream
or lake. The category Reptiles and
Amphibians encourages photog-
raphers to capture a moment when
they might see a frog, toad, snake,
turtle, salamander or skink in their
native habitat.

PARAGOULD, Ark. Donna
Hagar was at work one day when
her dad, JimBateman, called and
told her she needed to come by
his house in Oak Grove on her
way home from work. He said he
had something for her.
When she got there, he handed
her a bag of turkey feathers he
had gotten from a friend.
"What do you want me to do
with these?" she asked. "Some
people paint on them," he said.
Hagar said it seemed at little
weirdto her, but "I playedaround
with it for a few months and fig-
ured out something to do," she
said.
Today, she shows in the three
best craft shows in the area: the
Paragould show, A Little Bit of
Christmas in Jonesboro and a
show in Kennett, Mo.
She said she started out paint-
ing turkeys on the feathers.
"I figureda turkey shouldbe on
a turkey feather," she said. She
then tried painting deer on them
and then added pheasants and
mallard ducks. A few years ago,
she added dog breeds to her rep-
ertoire. "I have one of a bull rider,
just because I like the rodeo
stuff," she said.
She wont paint people, and
she doesnt like to do dog por-
traits, because "each dog has its
own personality, and I dont
know that personality," she said.
"I feel like I dobetter withjust do-
ing the breed."
She said she paints feathers by
request, and the most commonly
asked for are big bucks, mallard
ducks and turkeys. "I also try to
keep a good supply of the differ-
ent dog breeds, because those
sell really well," she said.
Hagar grew up in Oak Grove
and was in the last class to gradu-
ate from Oak Grove High School
in1986. She said she hates to see
the old Rock Building go, but it is
time. When she attended the
school, it didnt evenhaveair con-
ditioning.
She said she has always had an
interest in art and was always
doodling. He father taught her to
color, and they drew together.
"On Sundays,
we would go to
Grandmas and
I would draw
the funny pa-
pers," she said.
She liked pen
and pencil
drawing and
never took up
painting until
she was in high
school. Shesaid
she was a se-
nior and had to
have one more
credit, so she
took an art
class.
"I knew how
to use charcoal
and pastels, but
I hated paint-
ing," she said.
She said the art
teacher, Jerris
Palmer, was big
in painting. "She got me started
painting and encouraged me to
start a portfolio to apply for col-
lege," she said. "She enteredus in
contests and shows whether we
wanted to or not. I won several
shows, got a trophy and won art
student of the year."
She said she quit painting for
several years because she had
two kids and a job. And then her
dad called about the turkey feath-
ers.
She said her parents did wood-
working crafts and went to the
craft shows.
"I said I would never do craft
shows when I started painting,"
she said. She had several paint-
ings and had left them at her fa-
thers house for a few days be-
cause he hada friendwhowanted
to see them.
While he had the paintings, he
took them to be judged for entry
into "A Little Bit of Christmas,"
which is a judged show and the
biggest one around.
"My work was accepted, and I
onlyhadnine pictures ready," she
said. "I went, andI didnt sell any-
thing, but I took a lot of orders."
That was seven years ago, and
she has been doing the three
shows since.
She also paints glass ball
Christmas ornaments.
"I needed something to make
up the difference in the price gap
and help me pay for my booth
rent," she said.
Sales of the ornaments took
off, and her attitude about doing
shows has changed.
"This is my hobby, and it is my
Christmas money," she said, Her
daughter, Kristen, helps her set
up and take down the shows.
"She is wonderful; I couldnt do it
without her," she said. She also
has a son, Nick.
Hagar works for Wellsco Tele-
com Services as an operator of a
computer-aided design (CAD)
program. She said she loves the
work. She learned the CAD sys-
tem on the job. She had worked
on a factory floor for 10 years, but
her kids were growing, and she
was working too much overtime.
"I felt it was time for me to be
home more," she said. She didnt
know what a CAD operator was
when she applied for the job, but
she knew it was office work.
Woman from Arkansas paints on turkey feathers as hobby
She hesitantly started doing
it, but now travels to elite
craft shows.

HELENA, Mont. The
head of the commission re-
sponsible for setting Montanas
hunting regulations has found
himself at the receiving end of
one of the warnings his agency
issues for illegally salvaging
road kill.
The Independent Record
reported Tuesday that Bob
Ream of the state Fish, Wild-
life and Parks Commission got
the warning after he tagged a
deer struck by his car on Nov.
12.
The commission chairman
says most of the carcass was
salvageable, so he took it for
processing. He says he didnt
realize that was illegal until he
mentioned it to a game war-
den.
Wildlife officials say statutes
limit hunting to firearms and
archery during times and do
not specify scenarios in which
game might be taken illegally.
Ream says he may seek to
clarify the regulations.
The warning required him to
donate the meat to a food
bank.
New York
ALBANY, N.Y. The De-
partment of Environmental
Conservation says it has
charged more than 70 people
in 13 New York counties with
violating hunting laws this
deer season.
The crackdown is part of a
coordinated effort to stop ille-
gal poaching in New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts
and Vermont. Charges include
shooting from vehicles, hunt-
ing near residences, using
firearms during bow season
and hunting without a license.
DEC spokesman Rick Ge-
orgeson told The (Albany)
Times Union on Tuesday that
the agency has been working
with other states because
some hunters go into more
than one state.
The arrests were made in
October and November.
Indiana
VALPARAISO, Ind. A
judge is letting a town along
Lake Michigan go ahead with a
deer hunt, saying he doesnt
have the authority to block it
ahead of a state agencys hear-
ing on a challenge to the
hunts permit.
Opponents wanted a Porter
County judge to delay the hunt
planned by the Ogden Dunes
Town Council until after a
Dec. 29 Department of Natural
Resources hearing. The towns
permit allows volunteer sharp-
shooters to kill up to 40 deer
through Feb. 15.
The Times of Munster re-
ports that town attorney Char-
les Parkinson accused oppo-
nents of trying to delay the
process. Hunt opponent Dona
Young says she believes the
due process of law is being cut
short.
Town officials say the hunt
is needed because of more
Lyme disease cases among
residents.

turn cloudy. On
Monday, we will
have mostly
cloudy skies with
a chance of
evening showers.
The skies will

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
timesleader.com
M
ost of the newsprint and air-
time devoted to extending the
payroll tax reduction is wasted,
at least on the employers who are said
to be eager to hire gobs of new workers
if only they were sure the cut would
continue.
How can I say that? Easy the puny
savings arent enough to spark any sane
businessperson to add staff.
But judging by the rhetoric from
both left and right, the $10 a week an
employer would save on every $500 in
wages will either spark massive hiring
and economic growth, or send the
United States into a death spiral if the
lost revenue isnt recouped by starving
some other branch of government.
This is nonsense, and Im not the
only one who thinks so. While Wash-
ington politicians jockey for advantage
on nearly meaningless issues like this
one, business owners such as Tom
Zabroski, owner of Zodiac Printing in
Mountain Top, become more discour-
aged.
Speaking rhetorically for other small
business owners he knows, Zabroski
said, We have totally lost faith in the
people weve elected.
And the supposedly critical issue of
the payroll tax cut?
The tax thing is not the major con-
cern, he said.
In my two decades of business own-
ership and management, I cant think
of a single hiring decision that was
predicated on the tax rates. As Zabros-
ki said, the demand or sales is driving
whether were going to hire.
Hes not alone. When the economy
is good, jobs are plentiful, said Tommy
Grimes, chief operating officer of Calex
Logistics in Pittston, dismissing the
idea that a few dollars saved in his tax
bill is more important than demand.
And its hard to see more demand
ahead when it seems the nation will be
stuck in place for another year, until
the 2012 elections.
If theres any employee-related ex-
pense that influences hiring, its the
cost of health care insurance, which
seems to rise uncontrollably. Thats
real money; a temporary 2 percent cut
in the payroll tax isnt. It would be
useful for officials to realistically tackle
that one, rather than wasting time on
unimportant distractions such as the
payroll tax cut for employers.
The other side of the payroll tax cut
makes some sense, since much of the
extra $10 a week in a workers wallet
will likely be spent, supporting other
businesses. Guess what that spending
is called demand.
One thing I hope people of all politi-

cal stripes can agree on is that fairness
is important in the application of taxes.
Sure, there are times when certain
activities merit preferential treatment,
but that is best done with grants or
loans targeted at particularly promising
ventures (Solyndra not included).
So its heartening to see Pennsylva-
nia taking an aggressive stance on sales
tax collection by out-of-state online
retailers. If there ever were a time that
industry needed an advantage, its long
past. Local stores have enough compe-
tition without tilting the field in the
favor of the Amazons of the Internet.
The clarification of what constitu-
tes a presence in Pennsylvania is
sweeping and few online sellers escape
its reach, down to those that only have
links on state-based websites.
Revenue Secretary Dan Meuser
stopped short of threatening e-com-
merce businesses that fail to comply,
but strongly suggested its in their best
interest to review the new rules and
get a Pennsylvania tax license by the
Feb. 1 deadline.
Opponents have complained that
collecting state taxes is too complex
and expensive. That sounds disin-
genuous coming from businesses that
seem able to track our every mouse
click when they want to sell some-

More consumers are using smart-
phones and tablet computers to help
them shop this holiday season, and
more stores and shopping centers are
rushing to meet them there.
An estimated 15 percent of U.S. con-
sumers visiting a retailers website this
month will use a mobile device, up from
4.2 percent in October a year ago, ac-
cording to data compiled by IBM Core-
metrics.
Boosting traffic this holiday season:
the fast growth of Android-based smart-
phones as well as tablet computers such
as the iPad, said John Squire, Coremet-
rics chief strategy officer.
Consumers are using mobile devices
to search for store locations, compare
prices and promotions, check product
availability, read reviews, check the dig-
ital gift lists of family and friends, and
makes purchases, industry people say.
The consumer has an entire store in
their hands, Squire said.
Mobile applications are one of a num-
ber of digital tools that retailers and
shopping centers increasingly are de-
ploying. Against an uncertain backdrop
for the important holiday retail season,
online sales are expected to surge.
Coremetrics estimates that mobile
devices accounted for 9.6 percent of on-
line sales in October, up from 3.4 per-
cent a year earlier.
Mobile platforms also dovetail with
consumers and retailers increasing use
of social media sites like Facebook to re-
ach each other.

ig Boulder in Kidder Township, Carbon County, has been the first ski resort to open in
the region each of the past six seasons. And while that streak may be extended this
year, it wont happen this week. Mild weather and nary a snowflake in sight have left
mountains green and snow-free from Shawnee west to Scranton and from Union Dale south to
Palmerton. Not only hasnt Mother Nature created her own snow, because the temperature
hasnt dropped below freezing and stayed there for an extended period of time the expensive
snow making machines that each ski resort owns have been mostly silent.
Though area resorts have been
open as early as Thanksgiving in
recent years, there have been oth-
ers when the ski lifts have re-
mained idle well into December.
Mark Verrastro, general manag-
er at Sno Mountain in Scranton, he
has not placed his finger on the
panic button. But if the weather
pattern remains in effect for anoth-
er week or two, he may.
If we can open before Dec. 15th
to 20th, it will be OK, Verrastro
said. Anything before Dec. 15th is
a bonus.
Up on Elk Mountain near Union
Dale, Susquehanna County, Gener-
al Manager Gregg Confer said
were definitely not panicking,
but its frustrating to have every-
thing ready to go, skiers with sea-
son passes purchased and no con-
trol over the weather.
Megan McHugh, Camelback
Mountain Resorts spokeswoman,
said there was a foot of snowon the
slopes in late October. But it has
melted and besides leaves and rain-
drops, nothing has fallen on the
mountain since.
Its hard when youre depending
on Mother Nature, McHugh said.
Like Verrastro, McHugh said its
much too early to panic.
The goal is Christmas, she said.
Like many skiers, McHugh said
she walked out of her house last
week to a beautiful spring-like day
and was disappointed.
Its the end of November and its
50 degrees, was the thought that
popped into her head. When is it
going to get cold?
I know thats not the sentiment
of everyone, she said with a laugh
while speaking on her cell phone at

pers can select a mall, get direc-

tive map.
The app also shows the latest
retailer specials, a separate din-
ing guide, a calendar of events
and even how to apply for job
openings.
In addition to the mobile app,
the Wyoming Valley Mall web-
site contains a Twitter feed used
by several stores anda linktothe

tos andannouncements arepost-
ed.
Squire, of IBM Coremetrics,
says he expects retailers to in-
creasingly use what they know
about their shoppers to deliver a
hyperpersonalized experience
and offers over mobile plat-
forms, including free shipping,
which is highly important to on-
line and mail order shoppers.
Collaborative features such as
shopper ratings, reviews and gift
wish lists will be popular, he
said.
Consumers cango inandfind
out what is the best gift for kids
under $40, he said. Whats the
wisdomof the crowds for gifting
this season? Thats a place where
the mobile device can be invalu-
able.
A Deloitte annual survey of
more than 5,000 consumers in
September found 27 percent of
smartphone users expected to
use their devices for holiday
shopping this year.
Sixty-seven percent expected
touse themtosearchfor store lo-
cations, 59 percent to compare
prices, and 46 percent to check
product availability.
But retailers have less time to
close the deal over the mobile
platforms than they do with con-
sumers sitting in front of their
PCs.
Coremetrics research shows
consumers spend an average of
3.5 minutes on a retail site when
visiting from a mobile device,
comparedtosevenminutes from
a PC.
Squire said that time should
rise as more consumers use tab-
lets, which tend to show longer
visits on retail sites.
He attributes that to factors
such as larger screen size, the
fairly rich shopping experi-
ence that comes over a tablet,
and a consumer demographic
that appears to be great shop-
pers.
Some segments may do better
than others with mobile plat-
forms.
Department stores have
spent a lot of time investing in
(mobile) technology, theyve in-
vested in promotions and free
shipping, Squire said.
Health and beauty, while
probably not as challenged by
the pricing, has done a good job
of buildingconsumer loyaltyand
mobile platforms, he said.

BOSTONIts anoldstory: A
stars rapid rise is cut short when
high expectations arent met.
It happens in so many fields:
sports, music, politics.
In finance, a star mutual fund
managers performance slump
can be costly, and not just for the
stars reputation. Also at stake
are the millions of dollars invest-
ed based on the funds record
and perhaps also based on any
awards the manager won for
those results.
Theres plenty of pain to go
around among shareholders of
funds run by recent winners of
Morningstars manager of the
year awards, and manager of the
decade honors. Five of the eight
selected since early last year are
enduring slumps, and just one
among the group remains near
the front of the pack. Some are in
such a deep funk that the manag-
ers exemplary long-term record
could be at risk.
Morningstar is the most influ-
ential fund researcher around,
and its award winners attract
newcash frominvestors because
of those honors.
Morningstars research direc-
tor, Russel Kinnel, notes that the
awards recognize superior past
performance, and arent intend-
edas a fundequivalent of a buy
rating for a stock. Morningstars
judgments about how funds are
likely to fare going forward are
incorporated into its Analyst
Ratings, introduced last month
to supplement Morningstars
performance-based 1- to 5-star
system.
Still, the lousy year-to-date re-
sults from most of the latest top
manager winners illustrate the
folly of picking a fund solely
based on past performance, or
awards.
Starting with the steepest
drop-off, heres a look at some of
the past Morningstar winners
suffering slumps:
Bruce Berkowitz Domestic
Stock Fund Manager of Year,
2009; Stock Fund Manager of
Decade (2000-09)
His Fairholme Fund is down
29 percent this year, compared
with the 1percent total return of
the Standard&Poors 500 index.
Thats worst among hundreds of
funds in Fairholmes large-value
stock category. Its recent loss is
one reason why Fairholme has
shrunk to $8 billion in assets,
less than half its total early this
year. A bigger reason is the huge
amount of money that investors
have withdrawn. Its a stark
about-face, after attracting a net
$4.3 billion in 2010, following
the double-honors that Berko-
witz won that January.
Michael Hasenstab Fixed
Income Manager of Year, 2010
Templeton Global Bond has
lost 2.4 percent this year, placing
it in the bottom 3 percent in its
world bond category. The fund
has lagged because of its invest-
ments in the currencies of South
Korea and Australia, which have
weakened relative to the U.S.
dollar. Also, Hasenstab recently
positioned his fund for a rise in
interest rates that hasnt yet
panned out. This fund has
swelled to $61 billion in assets,
including $16 billion in newcash
attracted last year.
Brent Lynn International
Stock Manager of the Year, 2010
His Janus Overseas Fund has
lost nearly 29 percent this year,
ranking it in the bottom 3 per-
cent of its foreign large growth
category. Janus Overseas per-
formance has suffered partly be-
cause its recent 38 percent
weighting in emerging markets
stocks is more than triple the av-
erage of its peers. Stocks in the
worlds fastest-growing econo-
mies havefaredworsethanthose
in developed markets this year.
Bill Gross Fixed Income
Manager of the Decade (2000-
09)
The manager of the worlds
largest fund, the $244 billion
Pimco Total Returnfund, recent-
ly wrote a letter headlined Mea
Culpa to shareholders, ac-
knowledging his off year. Total
Return has posted a 2 percent
gain this year, trailing 91percent
of its peers in its intermediate-
term bond category. Its the
worst performance in more than
a dozen years for Gross, a three-
time winner of Morningstars
bond manager of the year title.
Hes lagging this year primarily
because he avoided investing in
low-yielding U.S. Treasurys,
which have rallied as investors
have sought out the least-risky
assets.
David Herro International
Stock Manager of the Decade
(2000-09)
His Oakmark International
Fund is down nearly 13 percent.
Thats in the bottom 25 percent
of its category uncharacteris-
tic for a fund that finished in the
top 2 percent the previous two
years. Four of the funds tophold-
ings as of Sept. 30. were financial
stocks, and each is down more
than 30 percent this year. A
smaller fund that he also runs,
Oakmark International Small
Cap, is having a middle-of-the-
pack year in 2011.

WASHINGTON This
should be a great time to buy a
first home. Prices have sunk to
2002 levels. Sellers are waiting
anxiously as homes languish on
the market. Mortgage rates are
their lowest ever.
Yet the most likely first-time
homeowners, especially young
professionals and couples start-
ing families, wont buy these
days. Or they cant. Or they al-
ready did, during the housing
boom. And their absence helps
explain why the housing indus-
try is still depressed.
The obstacles range from
higher down payments to heavy
debt from credit cards and stu-
dent loans. But even many of
those who could afford to buy no
longer see it as a wise invest-
ment. Prices have sunk 15 per-
cent in three years.
Ive looked for a home, but
the places we can afford with the
money we have are not that
great, says Seth Herter, 23, a
store manager in suburban St.
Louis. It also doesnt seem
smart anymore to buy with pric-
es falling. Buying a home just
doesnt make sense to us.
The proportion of U.S. house-
holds that own homes is at 65.1
percent, its lowest point since
1996, the Census Bureau says.
That marks a shift after nearly
two decades in which homeown-
ership grewbefore peaking at 70
percent during the housing
boom.
The housing bubble lured so
many young buyers that it re-
duced the pool of potential first-
timers to below-normal levels.
Thats contributedto the decline
in new buyers in recent years.
In 2005, at the height of the
boom, about 2.8 million first-
timers bought homes, according
to the National Association of
Realtors. By contrast, for each of
the four years preceding the
boom, the number of first-timers
averaged fewer than 2 million.
Still, the bigger factors are the
struggling economy, shaky job
security, tougher credit rules
and lack of cash to put down,
said Dan McCue, research man-
ager at Harvard Universitys
Joint Center for Housing Stud-
ies. The unemployment rate
among typical first-timers, those
ages 25 to 34, is 9.8 percent,
compared with 9 percent for all
adults.
The obstacles facing first-
time buyers are big, and its
changing the way they look at
home ownership, McCue says.
Its no longer the American
Dream for the younger genera-
tion.
First-timers usually account
for uptohalf of all sales. Over the
past year, theyve accounted for
only about a third.
A big reason is tougher lend-
ing standards.
Lenders are demanding more
money up front. In 2002, the
median down payment for a sin-
gle-family home in nine major
U.S. cities was 4 percent, accord-
ing to real estate website Zillow-
.com. Today, its 22 percent.
And one-third of households
have credit scores too low to
qualify for a mortgage. The
median required credit score
from FICO Inc., the industry
leader in credit ratings, has risen
from720 in 2007, when the mar-
ket went bust, to 760 today.
Homes in many places are the
most affordable in a generation.
In the past year, the national
median sale price has sunk 3.5
percent.
The average mortgage rate for
a 30-year fixed loan is 4 percent,
barelyaboveanall-timelow. Five
years ago, it was near 6.5 per-
cent. In 2000, it exceeded 8 per-
cent.
Whenthe economy eventually
strengthens, the housing market
will, too. More people will be
hired. Confidence will rise.
Down payments wont be so
hard to produce.
The question is whether first-
time buyers will then start flow-
ing into the housing market.
That will depend mainly on
whether they think prices will
rise, said Mark Vitner, senior
U.S. economist at Wells Fargo.
Its a guessing game as to
when things will turn around,
Vitner said. But until they do,
you wont see young people buy-
ing homes.
Home ownership no longer part of the dream

According to Accuweather,
winter weather may be just
around the corner. Though day-
time temperatures will be in the
40s and even 50s this week, it
could begin dropping below
freezing at night on Tuesday.
But the forecast didnt scare all
ski resorts fromstartingthesnow
makingprocess onFriday, includ-
ing Shawnee, near Marshalls
Creek in eastern Monroe County.
Die-hards keep stores busy
While the cold weather and
some snow would get people to
the slopes, the stores that sell ski
equipment have seen mixed busi-
ness so far.
Sean OShea, manager at
Country Ski and Sports in
Wilkes-Barre Township, said
sales are down slightly but once
the weather cooperates theyll
pick right up.
Hesaidskiingenthusiasts have
already been in to get the latest
equipment.
The diehard skiers know win-
ters coming but until we get a
cold snap, most of the casual
skiers arent really going to have
skiing on the top of their mind,
OShea said.
Howard Balbach, a manager at
Top of the Slope on South Main
Street, Wilkes-Barre, said people
are still buying gifts for the holi-
days and though theyve been
grumbling about the delay in the
season, thats a common occur-
rence because skiers cant wait to
hit the slopes.
Paula Godfrey, of Drums, is
among them.
Godfrey, 32, was checking out
the stock of ski goggles at Dicks
Sporting Goods in Wilkes-Barre
Township last week. The Canada
native grew up with skis on and
said the lack of snow either nat-
ural or manmade is killing
me.
Every day I see the weather
forecast andtheres nosnowandI
get more and more antsy. A few
years ago I was skiing on Black
Friday. This year I was walking
around with a T-shirt on, she
said.
Golf, hiking seasons extended
The unseasonably warm
weather has delayed the ski sea-
soninthePoconoMountains, but
a spokeswoman for the Pocono
Mountains Visitors Bureau said
there is a bright side.
While these recent warmer
temps maynot haveallowedus to
begin snowmaking, they certain-
ly have extended our adventure
season offering outdoor seekers
more time to hike, bike, horse-
back ride, even take to the ropes
at one of the areas ropes cours-
es, said Alicia Quinn, who lives
in Penn Lake Park.
Merle Mackin, the director of
the Luzerne County Convention
and Visitors Bureau, said that
while the countys hotels see
some extra business for ski and
stay packages at area ski resorts,
most of them occur between the
Christmas and Presidents Day
holidays. The lagging start of the
winter season is more beneficial
for local attractions like golf
courses, state parks and bike

Q.: A woman in our depart-
ment has become the self-ap-
pointed party planner. Renee is
constantly trying to organize of-
fice celebrations for birthdays,
weddings, and other events.
Most people cringe when they
see her coming, because they
knowshewill beaskingfor volun-
teers.
NowRenee is trying to arrange
a send-off for someone who is re-
tiring. Since I have worked with
the retiree longer than anyone
else, Renee says I should do
something for her. To be honest,
I do not enjoy working with this
person and am actually counting
the days until she leaves. How
can I politely tell Renee to stop
bothering me?
A: Some people delight in
workplace festivities, while oth-
ers viewthemas an annoying dis-
traction. As long as you dont
hide in your cubicle while every-
one else is eating cake, you
should feel free to participate in
these occasions at a level that is
comfortable for you.
To accomplish this, you will
need to become more assertive
with your persistent party per-
son. For example: Renee, I ap-
preciate your desire to recognize
special events. However, I simply
dont have time to help with the
planning.
If Renee continues to prod you
intoparticipating, keeprepeating
the phrase I dont have time un-
til she decides to find a more
cooperative target. If you stick
with this strategy, she will even-
tually stop bugging you.
Regarding your retiring col-
league, however, a slightly differ-
ent approachmay be inorder. Un-
like birthdays and weddings, re-
tirements are typically acknowl-
edged by management, so you
might suggest that Renee discuss
her celebratory plans with your
boss.
Q: I wouldlike to knowhowve-
rybrief jobs shouldbehandledon
a resume. My most recent posi-
tion was eliminated after I had
been there only eight weeks. If I
include it, employers may won-
der why I left so quickly. But if I
omit it, how do I explain why I
left the preceding job?
Also, I have previous experi-
ence with a temporary employ-
ment agency where most of the
assignments lasted only a few
months. Listing all those compa-
nies could make me look like a
job-hopper.
I have read that its OKto leave
short-term positions off a re-
sume, but I dont know whether
thats a good idea. What should I
dotogive employers the right im-
pression?
A: Under certain circumstanc-
es, applicants might wisely
choose to omit a job which lasted
only a few weeks. In your case,
however, theres really no reason
to exclude the eight-week stint
with your most recent employer.
Instead, indicate on your re-
sume that this position was elim-
inated as part of a workforce re-
duction. If the rest of your work
history is solid, youre not likely
to be screened out because of a
layoff.
To accurately portray your ex-
perience as a temp, list the agen-
cy as your employer for the entire
time you worked with them.
Then show each assignment as a
project completedduringthat pe-
riod of employment.

TV GLOWFADES
Some analysts are questioning the future of the television. Astronger
yen is making exports from Japanese TV makers less attractive. De-
mand is also expected to wane as more people buy tablets and smart-
phones and it becomes easier to use them to watch TV shows, says
global research firm Nomura. Nomura rates the consumer electronics
sector a Neutral. Panasonic and Sony said their earnings fell last quar-
ter, and Nomura thinks they could fall even more because TVs continue
to get cheaper.
CYBER MONDAY MADNESS
Cyber Monday, in which online retailers offer
steep discounts to shoppers returning to work,
and their computers, on the Monday after
Thanksgiving weekend, was a hit this year. Re-
search firm comScore Inc. said it was the big-
gest online shopping day in history. Many re-
tailers began advertising their sales early, and
web traffic related to Cyber Monday began to
grow over the holiday weekend. On Sunday,
Nov. 27, web searches for Cyber Monday prod-
ucts rose 18 percent over the previous year ac-
cording to research firm PriceGrabber. Parents
used the opportunity to search for deals on toys
for their kids. Among the most popular: the
Leap Frog Learning Tablet, which mimics tab-
lets for adults, and the Orbeez Soothing Spa.
The stresses of life have apparently trickled
down to children, who enjoy relaxing their feet
in the foot spa and its cascading waterfall.
STILL BUYING
Golds price may have halted its
straight-up ascent, but one group
of investors is still buying: central
banks. Russia bought 18.5 tons
in October, Barclays Capital ana-
lysts say, citing data from the In-
ternational Monetary Fund. Ka-
zakhstan added 3.2 tons. Central
banks around the world bought
148.4 tons in the third quarter,
according to the World Gold
Council. Thats up from 21.9 tons
a year earlier. Such buying could
help keep golds price high, Bar-
clays analyst Suki Cooper says.
After ending 2010 at $1,421.40
per ounce, gold hit a record of
$1,891.10 in late August. It was
at $1,713.40 on Tuesday.
Costco Wholesale (COST) certainly
doesnt look like a cheap stock. It
trades at 26 times its earnings per
share over the last 12 months. That
compares with a price-to-earnings
ratio of just 13 for the overall S&P
500 index. But Harvey Neiman
says the stock still has a place in his
mutual fund. Price-earnings ratios
are just one set of numbers he
checks to see if a stock offers good
value. His Neiman Large Cap Value
fund (NEIMX) ranks in the top 4 per-
cent of all U.S. large-cap value stock
mutual funds for five-year returns.
What do you
look at first
in a stock?
Likely almost
any other in-
vestor, price-
earnings will
pop up first.
As a value in-
vestor, Im not
in the realm of
paying 40, 50
or 100 times
price to earn-
ings. When its up there, no matter
the company, we stop right there.
We dont consider it. But we will ac-
cept a little but more juicy of a P-E if,
number one, the company is per-
forming well for the fund. We dont
turn our back on a stock just be-
cause their P-E went from 17 to 18
and then rolled up into the mid 20s.
Price-to-book comes second. (It
measures a companys stock price
against its book value, or how much
accountants say the company would
be worth if it shut down immediate-
ly.) Debt-to-equity comes up third.
(This measures how much debt a
company has relative to its share-
holders equity, which is its assets
minus its liabilities.) Then dividend
yield comes up fourth. The fifth thing
is I compare a stocks chart to the
S&P 500 or Dow Jones industrial av-
erage. If youve got a value stock
that has relative strength, that trans-
lates into a potential winner.
What do you mean by relative
strength?
I can look at a 200-day moving aver-
age of whatever stock Im looking at.
(It shows the average stock price
over the prior 200 trading days). I
can also include a 50-day moving
average. If I see that the benchmark,
like the Dow, is below those lines,
and yet the stock Im looking at is
above those lines, I know that its rel-
ative strength is strong.
Most professionals will not rely on
one variable alone. Its important to
have a basket, and thats why the
occasional 26 times P-E stock like
Costco remains in the portfolio.
Because its other numbers look
good?
When I look at its price to book, its
still only about 3 times. Debt-to-equi-
ty is low. Its dividend yield is 1.1 per-
cent, but its been growing.
And youre not concerned about
the upcoming retirement of Cost-
co co-founder JimSinegal?
The successor is someone who has
been with the company, and the suc-
cession is going to be business as
usual. There would have been a
challenge if it had been an outsider,
an unknown, or if Mr. Sinegal had
left suddenly. But its an orderly suc-
cession, and investors seem to be
comfortable with it, and Im included
with those.
You own several defense contrac-
tors, like Raytheon (RTN). How
worried are you about upcoming
spending cuts?
There will be less military growth.
But Raytheon is trading at about 9
times earnings, and its less than 2
times price to book. Its debt-to-equi-
ty is less than 40 percent. That
means it can handle some reduced
revenues, and it can continue to pay
its bills and its dividend. The yield is
just under 4 percent.
There could be layoffs at
Raytheon, but I dont see a pullback
in government contract as (leading)
to a filing for bankruptcy on the part
of Raytheon.

always cheap
InsiderQ&A
Neiman
Dave Carpenter Kristen Girard AP
Even professional investors are agonizing over how
much exposure they should have to Europe, given the near
defaults in Italy and Greece.
A huge debt overhang and political problems threaten to
bring down the entire eurozone. And besides potential defaults,
much of the continent faces long-term economic challenges,
such as declining populations.
Before you act too hastily, here are answers to
three common questions:
Some experts recommend in-
vesting instead in U.S. mega-cap
stocks and those with extensive
international operations. Multina-
tionals, such as Caterpillar,
Google, McDonalds and Yum
Brands, can serve as proxies for
direct investments.
Also remember that any big fi-
nancial setback in Europe will
generate shock waves world-
wide. Companies in the Stan-
dard & Poors 500 index derive
14 percent of their revenue from
Europe and 46 percent overall
from abroad.
2
IF YOU AVOID EUROPE,
WHERE SHOULD YOU LOOK?
Your time horizon for invest-
ments within a 401(k) or other re-
tirement account should be 10
years or longer. That should help
quell any temptation to overreact
to scary headlines. Also recognize
that many European stocks, and
those with a significant depen-
dence on Europe, already have a
gloomy outlook priced in. Swift ac-
tion by the European Central Bank
could help steer the continent
away from crisis and send stocks
sharply higher.
SHOULD YOU DECREASE
YOUR STAKE IN INTERNA-
TIONAL INVESTMENTS?

Europe and 25 percent each for
the Pacific region and emerging

Stocks of small companies are attractive be-
cause they can offer stronger growth than the rest
of the market. The catch is that when theyre
weak, they tend to fall more than the market.
One way to reduce volatility in small caps is to
look for ones that are buying back their own
stock, JPMorgan strategist Bhupinder Singh
says. Stock buybacks either reduce the number
of shares available in the market or hold back
their growth. Thats good for investors because
profits are split among fewer shares.
Singh looked at which companies in the Rus-
sell 2000 index of small stocks were repurchas-
ing stock from July 22 through Oct. 3. It was a
rough time for small-caps, and the index fell 23.8
percent.
Singh found that small companies that didnt
repurchase any shares during that span did even
worse as a group than the Russell 2000. Compa-
nies that were buying back stock did better, and
the more stock they were repurchasing, the big-
ger the outperformance.
This screen from Singh shows small caps that
bought back their stock this year. They also have
high amounts of cash, relative to their size.

Treasury yields, mortgage rates tick up
The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose back above 2
percent last week as yields on longer-termTreasurys
inched higher. That tends to pull up rates on con-
sumer loans: The average rate on a 30-year fixed
mortgage rose to 4 percent last week from 3.98 per-
cent, Freddie Mac says. But rates remain near his-
toric lows. Ayear ago, the average rate on a 30-year
fixed mortgage was 4.46 percent.

WHOWILL LEAD
the GOP back to pow-
er? That was the
headline attached to
this column on Nov.
16.
With all the gyra-
tions confounding
those attempting to navigate Repub-
lican presidential politics, I wondered
aloud whomRepublicans might nomi-
nate in 2012 to recapture the White
House.
Postmortems are ghoulish things, I
wrote. The one performed on the 2008
GOP presidential campaign was no
different. Its unattractive to watch, but
there was nothing pretty about losing
the presidency by margins of 53 to 46
percent and 364 to 174 in the Electoral
College.
With the nomination process so un-
settled, The wise gray-hairs in the Re-
publican Party will keep their counsel
and wait to fully digest all that has hap-
pened to undo their once firm grip on
our American government. Unfortu-
nately for the elders, a younger, right-
wing coterie of Republicans, in and out
of government, believes they already
know the solution.
Can Republicans nowdominated by a
fringe Tea Party even attract 270 electo-
ral votes when the right-wing Repub-
lican brain trust and followers of the
religious right maintain that Sen. John
McCain fell short in 2008 because he
wasnt conservative enough?
Yes, theres still Romney, I noted, but
he and other Republican candidates will
be pilloried by the far right if they do
not adhere strictly to those wildly pop-
ular positions of George W. Bush that
worked so famously well for McCain.
I concluded the November column
this way: Is there any Republican who
can adroitly bridge these two en-
trenched encampments? Its too early to
know. But while others talk a good
game someone will soon seriously try.
Who? Dont laugh, watch Newt.
That was Nov. 16 2008.
Former House Speaker Newt Gin-
grich knewthen what Gov. Bill Clinton
figured out 20 years earlier; in four years
a well-liked, well-educated and well-
funded incumbent of the opposite party
will seek re-election and that the top
tier candidates in his party, being ever
too cautious, wont run.
Whether President Obama is re-
elected or not, Republicans in 2016
would never look to Gingrich. Nor
would the little-known Clinton have
received his partys nomination in1996
had he remained in Little Rock in1992.
Both Clinton and Gingrich under-
stood this early: There is no perfect
time to run for president. In a weak field
there is only now.
Newton Leroy McPherson was born
on June 17, 1943 in Harrisburg. He was
the son of teenage parents who soon
divorced. His mother married a career
soldier named Robert Gingrich when
Newt was 3.
Gingrich is a graduate of Emory Uni-
versity and earned his doctorate in
history fromTulane University. Elected
to Congress in1978 fromthe state of
Georgia, Gingrich was elevated to
Speaker in1995 before resigning from
the House in1999.
In just 30 days, Iowa will hold its
first-in-the-nation nominating caucuses,
and Newt Gingrich is well-positioned.
There are no guarantees that the former
Speaker, prone to stumble, has either
the stamina or the money to maintain
his momentum. But no one should
underestimate his penchant for flexibil-
ity.
If elected, Gingrich, unlike other
Republicans, would not be the president
of no. As a member of Congress Gin-
grich founded a working group on avia-
tion and space. He would set his sights
on a meaningful legacy, to do big
things and sculpt deals necessary to
accomplish them.
Gingrich understood that in a less
than brilliant sky, his star might spar-
kle. And, like Clinton before him, if the
questionable policies of the past pro-
duced a sluggish and unpopular econo-
my, lightning could strike.
You heard it first, in 2008, In the
Arena.

LATE LAST MONTH,
the stock market took
another dive. The
supercommittee
failed. A bond auction
flopped in Germany.
The U.S. economy
didnt grow as fast in
the third quarter as originally thought.
Technically, the recession ended in
the United States in the middle of 2009,
but what came after doesnt feel like a
recovery.
Unemployment remains stuck at 9
percent. With all this, maybe its time to
ask the Apollo 13 question. In the
movie, things were so bad mission
control stopped trying to catalog what
was going wrong. Engineers on the
ground wanted to know what was work-
ing.
Behind the statistical noise one can
glimpse improving strength in two key
sectors with broader implications for
the whole economy.
One is domestic energy and the other
is manufacturing, which is surprising
because the two are long associated
with perceptions of U.S. decline.
Horizontal drilling and hydraulic
fracturing have revolutionized oil and
gas production. With little notice from
the squabbling pols in Washington,
America finds itself sitting atop a bonan-
za of fossil-fuels energy.
North Dakota alone is pumping out
400,000 barrels of oil a day, compared
with10,000 only eight years ago. Amer-
icas oil-import bill has plummeted from
60 percent of domestic consumption to
just over 46 percent.
The second bright spot is manu-
facturing. The big news is that China is
losing its cost advantage and some jobs
are moving back to the United States.
Chinese wages are rising, its workers
are less productive, raw materials tend
to be more expensive and transporta-
tion costs are increasing.
This trend is still in the embryonic
stage, but a recent report by the Boston
Consulting Group peered into the fu-
ture and concluded that within four
years, the cost advantage could shift
from China to the United States.
Economist Chris Kuehl, whose client
base includes small to midsize manu-
facturers employing 50 to 500 workers,
recently returned from a Chicago trade
show called Fabtech. The event draws
machine tool makers and companies in
the metal-forming and welding business
that do custom work on short notice.
All of the machine tool makers re-
ported more interest and more sales,
even in industries that are struggling,
Kuehl said. The mood of the show was,
We need to get on with it. Were tired of
waiting for some kind of magical politi-
cal solution.
Many of these companies are orga-
nized so that the income of the business
and the income of the owners is syn-
onymous, which means theyre sensitive
to threats of higher taxes and increased
regulation.
Higher taxes and regulatory costs
would peel away money that could go
for new hiring or investment, Kuehl
said.
Washington wouldnt have to do
much to boost growth in oil and gas
drilling and midsize manufacturing, two
vibrant sectors on the upswing. Even so,
like the rest of the economy, theyre
held back by policy-induced uncertainty,
which remains at historically high lev-
els, according to three economists who
devised an index to measure it.
When businesses are uncertain
about taxes, health care costs and regu-
latory initiatives, they adopt a cautious
stance, Scott R. Baker, Nicholas Bloom
and Steven J. Davis wrote in a recent
piece for Bloomberg News. Because it
is costly to make a hiring or investment
mistake, many companies will wait for
calmer times to expand. If too many
businesses wait, the recovery never
takes off.
That may seem obvious, but the
message hasnt gotten through to the
administration. Unfortunately for the
economy, the uncertainty fog isnt likely
to lift until after next years election.

ASHINGTON Think
for a moment about the
emotional seesaw of
someone who has lost a
lovedoneinIraqandhearsthat thewar
is about to end.
At first, thereisrelief: Americanswill
finally stop dying in a distant desert.
Then an indescribable sadness, be-
cause it comes too late.
Ami Neiberger-Miller was onaplane
to Colorado filled with soldiers on the
day before President Barack Obamas
October announcement that all re-
mainingtroops wouldleaveIraqbythe
end of the year.
They were familiar company. She
works for the Tragedy Assistance Pro-
gram for Survivors, known as TAPS,
which aids the families of fallen mem-
bers of the military.
The troops were on their way back
from the war. They were dusty and
tired. A homecoming with family and
friends awaited themat the gate.
As they exited the plane, the other
passengersandcrewapplauded. Quiet-
ly, Neiberger-Miller began to weep.
Do you know someone in the mili-
tary? the passenger in the adjacent
seat said gently.
She nodded. Her younger brother,
Army Spec. Christopher Neiberger,
was killed in 2007 by a roadside bomb,
three days before his 22nd birthday.
Our homecoming was a casket,
she said.
Thewarbeganonthenight of March
19, 2003. It was just past 9:30 in Wash-
ington, near dawn in Baghdad.
Millions watched it unfold. It was
supposedtobequick, surgical anddeci-
sive.
This will not be a campaign of half
measures and we will accept no out-
come but victory, President George
W. Bush told the nation that night as
the bombs began to fall.
But it became a slog; messier than
anticipated, more costly in lives and
treasure.
Its not the defeat we got in Viet-
nam, said Larry Diamond, a Stanford
Universityprofessor andformer senior
advisertotheCoalitionProvisional Au-
thority, which the allies created to rule
the country after the invasion. There
were real achievements in Iraq, but at
considerable costs and considerable
skepticismonthe part of the American
public as to whether it was worth it.
That question could haunt us for
some time. Iraq has a fledgling democ-
racy, but its still torn by religious and
tribal strife. Its taken nearly nine years
and the price has been high: almost
4,500 Americans dead and a nearly $1
trillion unpaid bill.
The Bush administrations original
projection was $60 billion, tops.
Meanwhile, thefightinginAfghanis-
tan continues.
But Iraq, because it inexplicably
shifted our purpose and the worlds
support away fromavenging the 9/
11terrorist attacks, helpedtousher ina
periodof political uneaseandmistrust.
Andas the economy soured, anxiety
grew. Being declared a hero by a patri-
oticpublicandsmilingpolitical leaders
could provide little comfort.
I come to the food pantry because I
dont receive food stamps and my hus-
bandjust got backfromatour overseas
and is having trouble finding work, a
woman in line at a Kansas City mobile
food pantry said in a note to the orga-
nizers. And, the pantry helps so much
in feeding our children.
She wrote it on the back of a paper
plate.
Now, as the 2012 presidential elec-
tion looms, a long war of ambiguous
purposeandresults has ledtowariness
about more foreign entanglements.
Any president is really going to
think twice about one of these foreign
adventures, said novelist Ward Just,

Editorial
I dont claim to be the perfect
candidate. I just claim to be a lot
more conservative than Mitt
Romney and a lot more electable
than anyone else.
Newt Gingrich
The Republican from Georgia, who formerly served as speaker of the
House, told a radio station this week why hes among the top
contenders to receive the GOP nomination for president in 2012.
WAKE UP, America, you are being exploit-
ed, duped and brainwashed. Though politi-
cal analysts left and right differ on their
prescriptions on how to save America from
decline, there is one thing they seem to
agree on: The vast majority of Americans
spend most of their lives politically asleep.
Crossroads GPS, an advocacy group
founded by Republican operative Karl Rove,
recently produced a commercial called
Wake Up, an anti-Obama attack ad that
portrays a woman tossing and turning in the
middle of the night who then sits up and
reflects on how her faith in President Barack
Obama has been betrayed. Obama, the ad
implies, is doing things in the White House
that disturb what otherwise would be a
restful sleep.
At a rally against poverty last month,
Princeton professor and political activist
Cornel West told a Los Angeles audience,
referring to the Occupy movement: Finally
our fellow citizens are beginning to wake up
because they have been sleepwalking for so
long.
Are we going to remain awake? West
asked.
There also is a long tradition in American
political history of attributing voting behav-
ior, lack of worker militancy or acquiescence
in the face of socialist takeover choose
your problem to the somnolent state of the
American citizenry. If you only knew the
truth about what is really going on in this
country, these critics argue, you would rise
up and overthrow the corporate capitalists,
the left-wing radicals inside the government
or the various false brothers of the ruling
elite.
There are several problems with believing
that the vast majority of Americans are es-
sentially asleep. Whatever the reality behind
this image, regarding people as essentially
passive recipients of elite manipulation as-
sumes that most of us are simply unable to
perceive and thereby act on our own self-
interest. Not only is this belief condescen-
ding, it suggests that our political, social and
symbolic worlds are unified and simple, if we
would only open our eyes to that fact.
If a structured and orchestrated system
is oppressing or manipulating us, then re-
vealing the nature of that system is the first
step toward freedom. In terms of popular
culture, think of the movie The Matrix, in
which those who were brave were provided a
pill that revealed the hidden nature of the
reality surrounding them.
There is a tinge of paranoia in these be-
liefs, the idea that only those with access to
esoteric knowledge can know whats really
going on. And as psychoanalyst Adam Phil-
lips points out, paranoia is the self-cure for
insignificance, a psychic strategy for assuag-
ing an inner doubt that we might not really
matter.
It is the analytical and political hubris
contained in this stance that is the problem.
If we are asleep, then it is the responsibility
of Rove, West or others the ones who are
presumably awake to wipe the political
sleep from our eyes.
But my sense is that people live their lives
as best they can, sorting through the com-
plex claims on their time, their values and
their obligations to families and communi-
ties. We weigh the costs of action in the
political world against the satisfactions and
disappointments of working through the
dynamics of everyday life. We live, as histori-
an Aileen Kraditor suggests, within complex
and disorderly societies, not within all-en-
compassing systems.
This election year, we undoubtedly will
hear from many people who suggest we
wake up and realize the state were in. Some
of these people might even be candidates.
When they do, you might consider this re-
sponse: Im awake, thank you very much
and feeling grumpy.
Its time for politicians to wake up and smell the coffee
Kelly Candaele, an adjunct professor of communi-
cations at Cal State Chico, wrote this for the Los
Angeles Times.
COMMENTARY
K E L L Y C A N D A E L E
There are several problems with believing
that the vast majority of Americans are
essentially asleep.
LIKE MANY authors, Ive
tried everything to gener-
ate book sales, but appar-
ently I just cant write well
enough for critical acclaim
or badly enough for low-
brow popularity.
Thats why Ive decided to run for presi-
dent.
Look, what sells books these days is celeb-
rity, and running has brought valuable atten-
tion to a host of authors who are no more
deserving than yours truly. The presidential
race has made everyone aware of Herman
Cain, after all, and forced all of us to remem-
ber Newt Gingrich, no matter how desper-
ately we might wish those memories had
remained suppressed. Even Donald Trump
ran briefly, enjoying the spotlight for a while
and generously elevating the campaign with
his unique brand of class.
But unlike some other candidates, I make
no pretense about my poor prospects for
election, or knowing which side we were on
in Libya, or what federal agencies Ive prom-
ised to close. I just need to get famous, fast.
And Im a coward. The only real alterna-
tive marrying Kim Kardashian in a story-
book wedding is far scarier than the or-
deal of seeking the nations highest office.
Sorry Kim, but Ill take trial by fire any day!
Now that Im a serious candidate, of course,
I have to do everything I can to be an unseri-
ous person. So rest assured that I plan to cut
your federal income taxes unless of course
youre too poor to pay any, in which case Ill
raise them.
But really, who needs taxes? Its your
money; keep it! Unlike the other candidates,
with their piddling budget-cutting propos-
als, I plan to tackle the monster of govern-
ment spending head on. Ill slash federal
spending right down to zero in my first year
in office, except of course for subsidies to
agribusiness, big oil and the financial ser-
vices industry.
Oh, and I guess well still need a few
bucks to prosecute Ben Bernanke for print-
ing all that money over at the Fed. Well also
need to pay a lawyer to retry the Scopes
case you know, the one in which Spencer
Tracy made a monkey out of Fredric March.
In fact, forget everything Ive said in the
past about evolution, climate change, abor-
tion, gravity and the multiplication tables.
Theyre all just theories, bad ones at that,
and I reject every last one of them. I wont
vacillate around the subject of sex, either.
Come to think of it, I oppose vacillation in
all its forms, whether against the human
papillomavirus or anything else that causes
disease.
In a free country, people should be al-
lowed to choose for themselves whether
their children are vacillated. Someone just
told me that vacillation can cause mental
retardation, and I believe it. Has anyone
checked whether any of my opponents has
been vacillated lately?
Anyway, back to sex. There wont be any
such hanky-panky in my administration, and
as president I pledge to limit my activities
in this arena to sexual harassment, as Ive
always done in the past. Sexual harassment
was good enough for Bill Clinton, after all,
and he was a pretty successful politician. I
wont shirk immigration when I get to
Washington. While my opponents have
talked of walls and moats and the like to
keep out Mexicans, I believe American
technology can do the job much more effec-
tively. My administration will use land
mines.
And there wont be any speculation as to
who my vice president will be, because Im
announcing my running mate Jesus here
and now. There, that ought to sell a few
books. And if it doesnt, I suppose theres
always Kim Kardashian.
Theres nothing like a candidacy to spur book sales

O
N THE HUNT for
signs of hope during
the pre-Christmas
rush, we noticed
these developments on the lo-
cal, state and national scenes.
Each supplies reason for opti-
mism.
Residents of flood-dam-
aged parts of the region, in-
cluding West Pittston and
Shickshinny, continue to re-
port successes such as the reo-
peningof restaurants andbusi-
nesses. Federal workers,
meanwhile, aim by Christmas
to have some families living in
a newly established mobile
home park near Tunkhan-
nock.
It will cost less for cus-
tomers of UGI Penn Natural
Gas tokeeptheir houses warm
this winter. The utility compa-
ny serving Northeastern
Pennsylvania announced a
rate reduction last week that
will lower the average residen-
tial customers bill by about
$10 a month.
Separately, lots of Medicare
users who had been caught in
the so-called doughnut hole
are saving bucks on their pre-
scriptionmedicationplans, ac-
cording to the federal pro-
grams Office of the Actuary.
Seniors and other beneficiar-
ies of these savings will spend,
on average, about $600 less
than they would have in 2011,
courtesy of the changes in
President Obamas health care
overhaul law.
On the subject of peoples
health, Gov. Tom Corbett re-
cently gave the OKfor the cre-
ation of a state-run insurance
exchange, providing consum-
ers with an easier way to shop
for and compare health insur-
ance coverage options. If all
goes as expected, it could be
implemented in 2014.
The UnitedWay of Wyom-
ing Valley announced last
week that it had filled its CEO
vacancy. The very capable Bill
Jones, formerly of the areas
Volunteers of America organi-
zation, will take the helm on
Jan. 2, aiming to strengthen
the areas social safety net.
Automakers say that sales
of new cars and trucks during
November far outpaced last
years numbers. Chrysler
Group, for instance, recorded
sales growth over the prior
year of 45percent a jumpdue
in part to the popularity of the
Jeep Compass.
Nationally, employers
added120,000 newjobs in No-
vember not enough by any
means, but another indicator
of a gradually improving U.S.
economy. Other encouraging
trends: Consumer spending,
business investment and man-
ufacturing all have made gains
since the summer.
We want to know what
hopeful signs that youandoth-
er readers encounter in the
community during this holi-
day season. Tell us about
emerging evidence of pro-
gress. Or preparations for new
and marvelous possibilities.
Or humanitarian gestures. Or
community spirit.
We all could use the boost.

can point with pride
at the citys brilliant
program that replac-
es the tires, mattresses and
weeds on vacant lots with
freshly mowed lawns, trees
and wooden fences.
Philadelphia LandCare has
raised property values and
sparked investment in forgot-
ten neighborhoods. Now,
theres research showing it al-
so has helped cut violent
crime and might improve
health.
Researchers at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Medical
School analyzed crime data
from 1999 to 2008 in areas
surrounding 4,436 cleaned
lots and areas near 13,308
trashed lots, and found a net
decrease in gun crimes
around the cleaned lots.
They also found an in-
crease in disorderly-conduct
reports in cleaned areas. But
some people say that is a sign
of residents taking more
pride in communities and be-
coming less tolerant of bad
behavior.
In a separate study, Penn
researcher Eugenia Garvin is
looking at the health effects
of cleaned and greened lots,
and anecdotally has learned
that people feel safer in
cleaned areas.
LandCare is the brainchild
of the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society, which a decade
ago convinced the city to not
only clean but maintain va-
cant lots, even if the city
didnt own them.
About 10 percent of the
nearly 5,000 cleaned parcels
have been developed.
The program is not a cure
for poverty and its related
problems, but it is an impor-
tant step toward giving resi-
dents the support andencour-
agement they need to take
back their neighborhoods.

ITS IOWA
minus one
month, and
barring yet
another resur-
rection, or
something of
similar im-
probability, its Mitt Romney
versus Newt Gingrich. In a
match race, heres the scorecard:
Romney has managed to
weather the debates unscathed.
However, the brittleness he
showed when confronted with
the kind of informed follow-up
questions that Bret Baier tossed
his way Tuesday on Foxs Spe-
cial Report the kind of scruti-
ny one doesnt get in multi-
player debates suggests that
Romney might become in-
creasingly vulnerable as the
field narrows.
Moreover, Romney has profit-
ed from the temporary rise and
spontaneous combustion of
Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry
and Herman Cain. It required
no exertion on Romneys part.
Enter Gingrich, the current
vessel for anti-Romney forces
and likely the final one. Gin-
grichs obvious weakness is a
history of flip-flops, zigzags and
mind changes even more exten-
sive than Romneys on climate
change, the health care man-
date, cap-and-trade, Libya, the
Ryan Medicare plan, etc.
The list is long. But what
distinguishes Gingrich from
Romney and mitigates these
heresies in the eyes of conserva-
tives is that he authored a
historic conservative triumph:
the 1994 Republican takeover of
the House after 40 years of
Democratic control.
Which means that Gingrichs
apostasies are seen as devia-
tions from his conservative core
while Romneys flip-flops are
seen as deviations from ... noth-
ing. Romney has no signature
achievement, or legislation that
identifies him as a core conser-
vative.
So what is he? A center-right,
classic Northeastern Republican
who, over time, has adopted a
specific, quite bold, thoroughly
conservative platform. His entit-
lement reform, for example, is
more courageous than that of
any candidate, including Barack
Obama. Nevertheless, the party
base, ostentatiously pursuing
serial suitors-of-the-month,
considers him ideologically
unreliable. Hence the current
ardor for Gingrich.
Gingrich has his own vul-
nerabilities. The first is often
overlooked because it is charac-
terological rather than ideolog-
ical: his own unreliability. Gin-
grich has a self-regard so im-
mense that it rivals Obamas
but, unlike Obamas, is untamed
by self-discipline.
Take that ad Gingrich did
with Nancy Pelosi on global
warming, advocating urgent
government action. He laughs it
off today with that is probably
the dumbest single thing Ive
done in recent years. It is in-
explicable.
This will not do. He was
obviously thinking something.
What was it? Thinking of him-
self as a grand world-historical
figure, attuned to the latest
intellectual trend, demonstra-
ting his own incomparable
depth and farsightedness. Made
even more profound and funda-
mental his favorite adjectives
if done in collaboration with a
Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Kennedy
or even Al Sharpton, offering
yet more evidence of transcend-
ent, trans-partisan uniqueness.
Two ideologically problem-
atic finalists: One is a man of
center-right temperament who
has of late adopted a conserva-
tive agenda. The other, more
conservative by nature, is pos-
sessed of an unbounded need
for grand display that already
has led him to unconservative
places even he is at a loss to
explain, and that as president
would leave him in constant
search of the out-of-box experi-
ence the confoundedly bril-
liant Nixon-to-China flipperoo
regarding his fancy of the day,
be it health care, taxes, energy,
foreign policy, whatever.
The second, more obvious,
Gingrich vulnerability is electa-
bility. Given his considerable
service to the movement, many
conservatives seem quite pre-
pared to overlook his baggage,
ideological and otherwise. The
independents and disaffected
Democrats upon whom the
general election will hinge will
not be so forgiving.
They will find it harder to
overlook the fact that the man
who denounces Freddie Mac to
the point of suggesting that
those in Congress who aided
and abetted it be imprisoned,
took $30,000 a month from that
very same parasitic federal
creation. Nor will independents
be willing to believe that more
than $1.5 million was paid for
Gingrichs advice as a histori-
an rather than for services as
an influence peddler.
Every conservative has thus
to ask himself two questions:
Who is more likely to prevent
an Obama second term? And
who, if elected, is less likely to
unpleasantly surprise?
Out of a weak field,
its Mitt versus Newt

CHURCH
stories are
usually for
Sunday morn-
ings. But last
Sunday night
there was a
certain church
story shown nationwide on
ABC, and it was pretty special
because it started in Detroit,
with a drop of rain.
As the years passed, the rain
began to rot the roof. The ceil-
ing grew brown. The plaster
peeled and fell.
One morning, the pastor of
this church a big, smiling,
heavyset man named Henry
Covington noticed the rain
had rotted a hole through the
ceiling.
It got bigger. And bigger.
Soon the hole was nearly 20
feet long, and the water came
pouring in, splashing on the
pews as the congregants
prayed.
In other churches, in other
places, they start a drive to
raise funds for repairs. But in
this church, in Detroit, there
was no such money. The con-
gregants were poor. Some were
homeless. And Pastor Henry
was a once-wayward soul who,
in giving his life to God, left the
bad life behind and took noth-
ing with him.
The hole grew and grew.
But the power of a place.
It can move mountains.
So in the pews of that
church, a few years back, I sat
with Henry five minutes after
meeting him and we looked
at that hole, and we talked
about fixing it, but first he told
me he had been a drug dealer, a
thief, an addict, incarcerated.
He told me this because he
wanted to be honest. There
was a spirit in the air, and we
became friends.
And earlier this year, in those
same pews of that same
church, I sat with executives
from the Hallmark Hall of
Fame.
They wanted to make a mo-
vie of Have a Little Faith, the
book I wrote about Henry and
how the hole was fixed. Al-
though theyd asked to meet in
Los Angeles, Id insisted on
Detroit. I knew the power of
that sanctuary, the spirit in the
rafters.
By the end of the day, they
were going forward.
A few months after that in
those same pews in that same
church Laurence Fishburne,
the esteemed actor, donned a
robe and rubbed oil on his
temples and preached a sermon
that had the audience, made of
real congregants, jumping and
clapping and urging him on. He
was playing the role of Rev.
Henry Covington, and playing
it well. But the spirit of that
place, I believe, pushed the
performance.
And finally, earlier this
month in those same pews of
that same church Fishburne
and fellow actors Martin Lan-
dau, Bradley Whitford, Anika
Noni Rose and Deanna Duna-
gan returned to Detroit and
took part in a service of joy and
music, as the congregants sang
and prayed along.
Looking up, the ceiling was
solid. The original hole had
been fixed. A second hole
which the movie crew had
bashed through also had been
fixed.
It says something about a
churchs resiliency, doesnt it?
Two holes, no dripping?
The church is called I Am My
Brothers Keeper ministries.
And last Sunday night, its story
and that of its amazing pastor
were shown to the nation on
ABC.
I only wish Henry were here
to see it. He died last Decem-
ber at age 53. His death carved
a new hole in the church, one
that cant be fixed with plaster
and shingles. It hurts every day.
He used to tease me about a
movie of the book, saying, Im
all for it, as long as they get
Denzel to play me.
Denzel Washington. Lau-
rence Fishburne. Doesnt mat-
ter. Its the spirit of the man
that inspires not only the film,
but the real people still down at
My Brothers Keeper Henrys
wife, his kids, his dear friends,
his flock. They pray. They
work. They feed the homeless
who sleep on their floor.
They carry on.
I remember Henry once
standing in the sanctuary,
pointing up and telling his
people, Look at the hole in the
roof. ... It wont be here for
long.
He was right. And I guess
nothing and none of us is
really here for long.
Its a Sunday morning story
on a Sunday night. And wher-
ever Henry is up there, I imag-
ine he can see it.
After all, the whole thing
started with a drop of rain.
A holy spirit emerged from gaping hole in roof

A
s a lifelong resident of
Luzerne County who has
raised my family here, Id
like to thank the voters who
elected me to county council.
Throughout the campaign, I
spent many hours traveling
the county and I had the op-
portunity to meet some won-
derful people I might other-
wise have never had the privi-
lege of knowing.
I promise to make respon-
sible decisions in the best
interest of the residents of
Luzerne County and to build a
consensus among my fellow
council members.
To everyone who came out
to the polls on Nov. 8 in sup-
port of my candidacy, put a
sign in their yard or offered
me a word of encouragement
over the past several months, I
thank you.
Also, I acknowledge all of
the candidates who worked
very hard during the cam-
paign. They are to be com-
mended for their efforts and
for putting their names out to
the public for consideration. I
enjoyed meeting candidates
and wish them the best.
I thank all of the people
who took time from their busy
schedules to vote in the gener-
al election. The right to vote is
certainly a privilege that each
of us should cherish.
In addition, I must thank
my family for all of their hard
work and support throughout
the campaign.
Finally, it is my hope to
work with each elected county
council member to make
Luzerne County a great place
to live and work. If we all
work together, we can make
the county proud.

Cancer sufferer
grateful for help
O
n May 27 I was diagnosed
with cholangiocarcinoma,
a rare form of bile duct
cancer and I need a liver trans-
plant to be cured. I am
blessed to have been afforded
that opportunity because of
my younger brother Matt,
who is willing to be my living
donor; without him, my odds
of ever obtaining a liver on the
UNOS waiting list are less
than miniscule.
A feature article about my
situation and a fundraiser that
was held for me was published
in the Sept. 5 edition of The
Times Leader. Since then, two
other fundraisers have been
held and Ive received numer-
ous donations from friends,
family and even strangers.
I have tried to write person-
al thank-you notes but have
fallen short, as the number of
individuals offering donations
has continued to climb. Please
understand I appreciate all
donations received. I have not
had the nerve to stand in front
of the hundreds of people who
have attended the events to
support me for fear of crying
in front of my 8-year-old son
who cries when he sees his
mom crying. It would break
my heart and possibly yours.
So this is my public thank-
you to everyone who has
shown their love for me.
Thank you for the cards; Ive
saved every single one and I
read them often. Thank you
for your prayers; I know they
are working. Thank you for
your donations; your generos-
ity is overwhelming. Thank
you for your emails; I love
being thought of. Thank you
for your phone calls; I love to
talk. Thank you for making
me believe that miracles hap-
pen every day.
I also need to thank my
family: My husband Roby, the
unfortunate and unintended
recipient of all of my bad days,
who loves me in spite of my-
self. Youre my superhero. My
parents whose love, support
and sacrifice for me over the
years have been unwavering. I
dont say it often enough, but I
appreciate all youve done and
do for me. My son Bo, who
always knows when I need a
hug or a good laugh. You were
my first miracle. My best
friend Noell, the most loyal
person I know. Your friendship
is invaluable to me. My sister-
in-law Jen, whose sunny dis-
position is infectious and a
calming force wrapped in one.
My brother Matt, the king of
sarcasm who will probably
still be making light of the
situation even as were
wheeled in to surgery. You will
never know what your sacri-
fice for me means, but Ill
always know I have the best
brother ever and I am the
luckiest woman because of
him.
Ten years from now, when
Im watching my son receive
his high school diploma, it is
all of you I will be thinking of,
and forever I will be repeating
thank you.
Love. Peace. Hope. Cour-
age.

Banking practices
must be exposed
O
ther news organizations
often publish reports
about predatory banking
practices. (Visit www.truth-
out.org/bank-america-makes-
millions-charging-fees-with-
draw-unemployment-bene-
fits/1321294590.)
On the surface, the issues
seem significant, with far-
reaching social, cultural and
economic impact. Does the
Times Leader question the
accuracy of these reports, or
does it believe them to be
insufficiently newsworthy?
I can understand, and even
applaud, an impartial ap-
proach by The Times Leader. I
also can accept the fact that
the TL has only so much
space and that it must pri-
oritize its content.
But when big banking in-
terests prey upon the least
privileged members of our
society, the press has a special
responsibility. John Q. Public
will awake and rise up only
when they become aware of
the predators among us.
Thats your role, Times
Leader: Take away the cur-
tains behind which they hide.

Paterno treated
without justice
I
confess that I have never
been wildly enthusiastic
about Joe Paterno, the foot-
ball coach.
Over the years I have seen
too many games in which a
Penn State team snatched
defeat from the jaws of victory
because of its conservative
three yards and a cloud of
dust offensive strategy. Joe
Paterno has been a very good
coach, but not quite imagina-
tive enough on the offense to
have been a great one.
As for Joe Paterno the man,
however, that is another story.
He is a good, honest and de-
cent man, one who has devot-
ed his life to Penn State, who
has donated millions of dollars
to the university and who has
consistently emphasized the
importance of good character
and a good education to his
players. He is indeed a great
human being.
Regarding the recent trage-
dies at State College, the
worst that can be said of
Coach Paterno is that he
might have handled a difficult
situation in a better way. He
has admitted as much.
But for the Board of Trust-
ees to treat him in such a
manner was, in my opinion, a
terrible miscarriage of justice.
The old adage, let the puni-
shment fit the crime was
completely missing in its
headlong and frenetic rush to
judgment, egged on and abet-
ted of course by the sensation-
alized media feeding frenzy.
For the Board of Trustees to
destroy a 64-year-career and
Paternos lifes work was com-
pletely unnecessary. He com-
mitted no crime, he is charged
with no crime, he was in-
formed of the problem three
years after Jerry Sandusky had
resigned his coaching job and
he reported the information
promptly to his superiors.
There was simply no moral
imperative to cause the trust-
ees to make such a draconian
decision. They should have
issued a reprimand to JoePa
and let him retire at the end of
the season.
If former assistant coach
Sandusky is guilty of child
molestation, then he should
be forced to exhaust every last

assist with the healing process
for his victims and their fam-
ilies.
On the topic of child abuse
and the news media, why was
there significantly less media
outrage directed toward the
hundreds of priests in the
United States and abroad who
did things just as bad as Sand-
usky is accused of doing, and
infinitely worse than anything
Joe Paterno did? And why the
considerably less media out-
rage directed toward church
officials who knowingly con-
spired to cover up and even
perpetuate these sinister
crimes?
Whats the matter with this
picture, anyway?

Gas drilling issue
sways area voters
E
lection 2011 proved to be
an election of change in
the Second District, with
candidates making history and
voters sending a message.
In Dallas Township, the
heart of the areas natural gas
debate, Democrat Liz Martin
was elected supervisor, beat-
ing a Republican incumbent
who had held that position
since Dwight Eisenhower was
president and becoming the
first woman to hold the post.
A critic of the gas industry, Liz
vowed to preserve our envi-
ronment, protect the integrity
of our drinking water and stop
the industrial exploitation of
our land at the expense of
public safety. In short, the
people of Dallas won on elec-
tion night, and the gas compa-
nies lost.
At Harveys Lake, Demo-
crats took a majority of the
seats up for election for bor-
ough council, with Michelle
Boice, Ed Kelly and Thomas
Kehler leading the charge.
Natural gas played a signif-
icant role in this race as well.
The voters sent a message to
the GOP-controlled council
that passed a weak ordinance
in October while having
rejected a stronger, more sub-
stantive ordinance in March
by electing Boice, Kelly and
Kehler, signaling that they
want their water protected.
The results go to show that
solid, progressive candidates
with the interests of the mid-
dle class and working families
at heart always will triumph
over regressive, corporate-
backed politics.
Finally, the biggest Second
District winner of election
night was Harveys Lakes own
Jennifer Rogers, receiving the
highest number of votes for
judge in Luzerne County.
Congratulations to all Dem-
ocratic winners and candi-
dates. The Second District is
quickly turning a beautiful
shade of blue. In 2011 it was
Dallas and Harveys Lake, and
in 2012 its going to be Harris-
burg and Washington, D.C.

Holidays a time
to rethink diet
G
reek philosopher Socrates
once said, The unexam-
ined life is not worth liv-
ing. Americans should heed
this advice and reassess their
dietary choices during the
holiday season.
The consumption of turkey
and other animal foods jeopar-
dizes ones health, inflicts
untold suffering on the ani-
mals and continues to exacer-
bate the problems of envi-
ronmental degradation and
world hunger. A vegan (plant-
based) diet offers us a ratio-
nal, ethical alternative.
Health researchers have
accumulated incontrovertible
evidence of a definitive link
between the overconsumption
of meat in the Western hemi-
sphere with heart disease,
diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis
and a host of other ailments.
Asian cultures have incredibly
low rates of these ailments,
except where Western dietary
practices have been intro-
duced.
And with health-care costs
spiraling out of control, is it
not rational and prudent for
people to make healthy die-
tary decisions such as re-
stricting or eliminating the
consumption of animal foods?
The worlds population
recently surged to more than 7
billion and such decisions are
now more crucial than ever to
ensure that all can be fed.
This holiday season please
take Socrates advice in the
dietary sense and explore the
wisdom of the vegan option.

Writer: Dogma
limits rationalists
J
ustin Vacula, co-organizer
of the NEPA Freethought
Society, felt a need to quote
Theodore Schick in respon-
ding to statements made by
the Rev. Joseph Bertha in an
article titled Prayers of
thanks (Oct. 24).
Mr. Vacula takes umbrage
with the suggestion that su-
pernatural intervention might
have occurred in preventing
flooding in certain areas and
uses skeptical quotes from
Schick to support his argu-
ment in his letter to The
Times Leader titled Natural
explanation for flood preven-
tion (Nov. 8).
While there appears to be
obvious weight to the nat-
ural explanation, might I
suggest that Mr. Vacula is
limiting himself in his hy-
pothesis.
Id like to share an excerpt
from G. K. Chestertons Or-
thodoxy, on the subject of
miracles, which I think repre-
sents a more open and free
approach to the topic:
But my belief that miracles
have happened in human
history is not a mystical belief
at all; I believe in them upon
human evidences as I do in
the discovery of America.
Upon this point there is a
simple logical fact that only
requires to be stated and clear-
ed up. Somehow or other an
extraordinary idea has arisen
that the disbelievers in mira-
cles consider them coldly and
fairly, while believers in mira-
cles accept them only in con-
nection with some dogma.
The fact is quite the other
way. The believers in miracles
accept them (rightly or
wrongly) because they have
evidence for them. The dis-
believers in miracles deny
them (rightly or wrongly)
because they have a doctrine
against them. The open, obvi-
ous, democratic thing is to
believe an old apple-woman
when she bears testimony to a
miracle, just as you believe an
old apple-woman when she
bears testimony to a murder
If it comes to human testimo-
ny there is a choking cataract
of human testimony in favor
of the supernatural. If you
reject it, you can only mean
one of two things you either
deny the main principle of
democracy, or you affirm the
main principle of materialism
the abstract impossibility of
miracle. You have a perfect
right to do so; but in that case
you are the dogmatist. It is
Christians who accept all
actual evidence it is you
rationalists who refuse actual
evidence being constrained to
do so by your creed. But I am
not constrained by any creed
in the matter, and looking
impartially into certain mira-
cles of Mediaeval and modern
times, I have come to the
conclusion that they occurred.
All argument against these
plain facts is always argument
in a circle
The skeptic always takes
one of the two positions; ei-
ther an ordinary man need not
be believed, or an extraordin-
ary event must not be be-
lieved.

Beware trappings
of communism
W
ay back in 1967 I existed
(not lived) behind the
Iron Curtain in Hungary
for five months.
The influence of communi-
sm only heightened my es-
teem for capitalism and our
beloved country. In writing
this, I wish only to convey the
malevolence of that particular
ism to those people who
today are advocating redistrib-
ution of wealth.
I recall times when bread
was scarce; if an individual did
not get there early in the
morning, no bread.
Owning property was a
definite no-no. In other words,
one chicken for the family and
one chicken for the govern-
ment.
Any electrical appliance was
taxed each month. There was
nothing political on the radio,
only what they wanted you to
hear. If one were fortunate to
have a TV, there were certain
hours allotted for viewing.
To be sure, no one between
the ages of 17 and 60 was out
of work. It was against the law
to be unemployed. For in-
stance, should a professor be
out of work, work was found
for him/her by sweeping the
streets with a makeshift
broom made out of twigs.
Lets not forget that military
patrolled the streets, markets,
cafes. No more than three
people talking on the street
was allowed. If more than
that, they took it as a protest
and off one went.
Medical benefits? Doctors
were paid by the government.
Should there be 10 ill people,
the only ones who would
benefit would be the ones who
were useful to the govern-
ment.
Men at different times were
taken during the night with-
out warning only to be return-
ed to their families months
later. Families never knew the
reason.
Family members, friends,
neighbors were never to be
trusted. Hence, nobody spoke
against the government for
fear of retaliation.
Hangings still prevailed
then; they stopped in 1989.
Clothing? The average
working man/woman had
maybe only three changes of
clothing and two pairs of
shoes. Poor quality at that.
Nothing was imported.
Whats my point in giving
all this information? The point
is that in our beloved nation,
the Occupy Wall Street pro-
testers seemingly yearn for
communism without knowing
its full agenda. They are fo-
cused on the same objective:
equal distribution of wealth
and a classless society.
Do I believe every person in
these rowdy mobs is con-
sciously involved in a commu-
nist revolution? No, of course
not. A majority of the partici-
pants, in fact, are probably
nothing more than useful
idiots who are hopelessly
addicted to the idea of less
and less work coupled with
more and more entitlements. I
doubt they realize that the
system they long to see imple-
mented is communism or
ultimately leads to communi-
sm.
Still want to rid our nation
of capitalism?

Voters should
oust Rep. Mundy
F
inally, the voters of North-
eastern Pennsylvania seem
to be exercising common
sense when it comes to clean-
ing house of greedy politic-
ians; one more self-serving
crony needs to go.
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy
must pack it in after 20-plus
years of padding her pocket at
the expense of senior citizens
who live on modest, fixed
incomes.
Mundy gave herself a 16
percent pay raise in 2005, in
spite of the fact that the Penn-
sylvania Supreme Court
deemed it unconstitutional.
And where was Phyllis during
the 2011 flood?
Mundys highest priority
seemingly is voting to support
abortion on demand, high
taxes for small-business own-
ers and no respect for the
Marriage Protection Act.
Wise up in 2012. Mundy
must go.

IN A few weeks, thou-
sands of our brave
men and women will
return from Iraq after
participating in one of
the longest wars in
American history.
Many will enter the
next phase of their lives and return to
the private sector with an eye on ob-
taining a college degree.
Many of the same benefits that veter-
ans enjoyed following World War II,
Korea and Vietnam are available today
through the Post-9/11 GI Bill. It pro-
vides veterans with financial assistance
equal to the cost of tuition at the aver-
age state university. The third gener-
ation of the GI Bill also contains the
Yellow Ribbon codicil, which challeng-
es private colleges to offer financial aid
equal to one-half the difference be-
tween their tuition and that of public
institutions. In turn, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs matches the
grant offered by private institutions,
thus providing veterans a broader array
of options for their college educations.
Misericordia University was one of
the first institutions in the nation to
sign up for the Yellow Ribbon Program.
As a result, returning students such as
these are attending Misericordia Uni-
versity: Sgt. John Belcher, a Marine
helicopter gunner who had tours of
duty in Iraq and Iran, and assignments
in Africa and other hot spots during
his enlistment; Sgt. Jessica Pugliese,
who served as a maintenance manage-
ment officer; and Sgt. Erik Wells, a
member of the 10th Mountain Division
of the U.S. Army.
Belcher and Pugliese participated in
a ceremony on campus honoring World
War II veterans, particularly John J.
Passan, who grew up in the Heights
section of Wilkes-Barre. At 17, Mr.
Passan left Coughlin High School in his
senior year to enlist in the Navy. He
was stationed aboard the USS Los
Angeles, a newly commissioned heavy
cruiser that sailed from Philadelphia in
August 1944 to operate with the 7th
Fleet during the battles that preceded
the end of World War II.
Following the war, Mr. Passan return-
ed to his hometown and enrolled at
Penn State University on the GI Bill.
Similar stories were repeated countless
times. Young men and women who
were raised during the Great Depres-
sion returned from war and quietly
assumed their civilian lives. Millions
attended college on the GI Bill. These
veterans became the foundation of
Americas Greatest Generation. They
adopted the rigorous task-oriented
approach they learned in the military to
college and to their jobs. They were
further buttressed by the determination
that neither they nor their country
would relive the economic morass of
the 1930s.
Mr. Passans tremendous work ethic
and entrepreneurial insight enabled
him to leverage a delivery company
into a 2 million-square-foot warehous-
ing and logistics facility in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania. His company, Valley
Storage and Distribution, serves as a
testimony to the ingenuity of just one
of the many members of the Greatest
Generation.
Mr. Passans success story and many
similar ones played a major role in
Congress approving the continuation of
the program. All is not well with the
program, however. Hollister Petraeus,
assistant director for service member
affairs at the Consumer Financial Pro-
tection Bureau, and wife of Gen. David
Petraeus, the newly anointed director
of the CIA, explained in a recent New
York Times editorial that some for-
profit colleges see service members as
nothing more than a dollar sign in
uniform and use aggressive market-
ing to draw them in.
Some for-profit colleges target ser-
vice members so they can circumvent a
1999 amendment to the Higher Educa-
tion Act. The 90-10 Rule requires
for-profit colleges to obtain 10 percent
of its revenue from sources other than
Title IV educational funds, which in-
clude Pell Grants and subsidized Staf-
ford loans. The GI Bill is not defined as
Title IV, so it can count toward that
requirement just like tuition.
One of the most egregious marketing
incidents was exposed on the PBS
program, Frontline, which reported
on a for-profit college recruiter signing
up Marines with serious brain injuries
at Camp Lejeune. According to Fron-
tline, the fact that some of these Ma-
rines couldnt remember what courses
they were taking was immaterial as
long as they signed on the dotted line
and allowed their GI Bill benefits to
flow to the for-profit college.
Mrs. Petraeus goes on to say that
there are for-profit colleges with a long
record of serving the military that have
solid academic credentials and a histo-
ry of success for generating graduates
who obtain solid employment. Howev-
er, compared to private and public
nonprofit colleges, for-profit colleges
generally have low graduation rates and
a poor record of gainful employment
for their alumni. While for-profit col-
leges enroll less than 10 percent of the
total college population, they account
for more than 20 percent of federal
financial aid awarded, not including the
GI Bill money.
The men and women who volunteer
to put themselves in harms way and
whose families also sacrificed while
they were away from home should not
be subjected to this kind of treatment.
Predatory practices undertaken by
for-profit institutions should be banned.
Instead, our GIs should receive as-
sistance through consumer education
programs and in other ways to ensure
that they make as wise an investment
in their college choices as they did in
deciding to serve their country.
For-profit colleges should not be allowed to prey on returning veterans

icordia University in Dallas Township.

time of more political clarity. It
would not be enough to say, if we
dont go into Afghanistan the Tali-
ban is going to run things. My
guess is the next time that hap-
pens, some people might be entit-
led to say: So what?
The war has touched every part
of America, from sprawling cities
to remote prairie towns, where a
single death can reverberate like
the rumble of distant thunder.
But unlike the Vietnam War,
which played in Americas living
rooms every night, Iraq was a be-
wildering, farawaydrama. For alot
of Americans without a personal
investment, it was simply back-
ground noise.
You wont find anybody who
says they arent supportive of the
soldiers, unlike with Vietnam,
said Cindi Staats, whose website,
fallen-coalition-heroes.com, is a
roll call of every American fatality.
But whenthis war was just raging
wed have several dying a week,
and no one seemed to really know
unless it was a local soldier and it
was local news. For people to real-
ly care, you have to get them in-
volved. Wedidnt haveanyof that.
Staats is a 54-year-old disabled
former aerospace worker from
Walnut, Calif., who early on made
it her mission to catalogue the
wars toll. She built a website, got
official casualty reports and
searched for photographs. She
scoured the Internet and home-
townnewspapers, andreachedout
to families.
Her tally is so exhaustive that
TheNewYorkTimes andPBSrely
on her for their own periodic
chronicles of the fatalities.
The weight of personal sacrifice
that shewithout fanfareenu-
merates, the permanent empti-
ness that each of those nearly
4,500deaths has left, cantakeyour
breath away.
Another 32,000 men and wom-
en were wounded in Iraq. Many
face a lifetime of struggle.
Of the 28 Marines that retired,
Marine Lt. Gen. Gregory New-
bold, the Pentagons top oper-
ations officer during the planning
for the war, spoke to McClatchy
during a recent visit to Bethesda
Naval Hospital: 26 had traumatic
amputations, all but twohadmore
than one amputation, he said.
Arms, legs, eyes. Thats pretty
tough.
Newbold, who left the service,
in part, over his opposition to the
invasion, regularly visits the
wounded at the hospital.
I think its hard to say when a
warisgoodthing,saidPeterRich-
ert, who was 22 and a member of
theKansasNational Guardin2007
when his leg got blown apart by a
roadside bomb.
His unit was mostly fromsmall-
town Kansas. Richert was from
Hillsboro, population2,993. It was
a close-knit group. In the attack,
his sergeant was in the Humvee
with himand was killed.
I think (the war) was neces-
sary, he said. I truly believe that,
being around the local people and
seeing how oppressed they were.
They became a people who
couldnt fight for themselves. I
knowtheres more to it, but it was
definitely worth it.
At the beginning, most Ameri-
cans thought so, too. Nearly three-
quarters of the public approved of
the war inApril 2003, accordingto
a Pew Research Center survey;
now, less than half do.
Iraq became far more murky,
said Brian Turner, a sergeant with
the 2nd Infantrys 3rd Stryker Bri-
gade. Therearenofront lines. You
dont knowwhomight want tokill
you. Psychologically, it has an ef-
fect. Theres a whole nation youre
livinginside of andpart of the pop-
ulation would rather kill you. An-
other part just wants you out.
Now the war is in its final days.
Staats prays that she wont have to
add any last-minute names to her
website. It already contains heart-
ache enough.
She will always remember one
in particular, though. His name
was Jeffrey Braun, a private first
class fromStafford, Conn. He died
Dec. 12, 2003, from a non-hostile
gunshot wound. He was 19.
He looked like he was 12, she
said, like he was still in middle
school andshouldhavenever been
in uniform.

After a three-year hiatus, Charlize
Theron returns to movie screens Friday
with Young Adult, a pitch-black come-
dy about making war and a little bit of
peace with the past.
Because Young Adult takes a walk
down memory lane, Theron is more
than happy to offer up some less-than-
flattering stories about her own youth,
spent in Benoni, a small South African
town outside Johannesburg.
Far from the most attractive or pop-
ular kid in school, Theron, 36, insists
she was pretty much of a mess from
the ages of 7 to12. Even though the pop-
ular kids excluded her, Theron admits
she was obsessed with her schools
Queen Bee.
I mean, like you would go to jail for
that stuff today, the actress says with a
laugh. Im so embarrassed to say this,
but I was in tears one day because I
couldnt sit next to her. I have issues.
Theron is adamant that, during her
high-school years, boys never gave her
the time of day.
I wore really, really, really nerdy
glasses, she says. I was blind as could
be, and boys dont really like big, nerdy
glasses. Sure, I had a crush. I didnt have
any boyfriends, but I had a massive
crush on this guy.
Recently, a reporter for Vogue tracked
down the one-time object of Therons
desire. The lucky guy claimed he was
just as wild about Theron as she was
about him. But the actress isnt buying
it.
This guy did not know I existed in
school, but he was like, Tell her the
crush was mutual. F--k that. It was so
not mutual. Thenhe was, like, Oh, andI
remember she wore those glasses.
Given her willingness to revisit her
own past, its no wonder director Jason
Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air) and
scripter Diablo Cody (Juno) suspect-
ed Theron would be perfect for the role
of Mavis Gary, a teen-lit author whose
existence is shaken to the core when she
receives the news that her former high-
school boyfriend (Patrick Wilson) has
just become a dad.
Mavis immediately jumps on a plane
boundfor her hometowninrural Minne-
sota with hopes of winning her ex-beau
back despite the fact that hes married
and a new dad.
Theron describes Mavis as delusion-
al and just a beautiful car wreck. But
that didnt stop the actress from identi-
fying with her alter egos hopes and
fears.
I thought that thethings shedidwere
pretty despicable but not to the point
where I was disgusted by her, Theron
says. I never had a hard time liking her.
I would love to go and have a beer with
her. I would never let her hang out with
my boyfriend, but I would love to hang
out with her. I found her fascinating.
Mavis might be a heavy-drinking,
wise-cracking, self-absorbed grab bag of
dysfunction but, thanks to the actress,
she never seems beyond redemption.
Theron chalks up a lot of Mavis ques-
tionable behavior to her unwillingness
to grow up.
What I liked, when I read Diablos
script, was that Mavis is dealing with is-
sues that are very, very common to
women in their mid- to late 30s but
Mavis is dealing with themthe way a16-

he journey fromAmerica to England lasted a month, Ger-
mansubmarines were firing torpedoes throughthe Atlan-
tic and suspicious customs officials had confiscated a mu-
sicians manuscripts, believing they might contain a secret war-
time code. Under these less-than-hospitable conditions in the
spring of 1942, composer Benjamin Britten wrote the peaceful
passages andsoothinglullabyof his Ceremonyof Carols, provid-
ing even for the soft tinkling of a harp.
What I always find amazing is the
piece he writes in that situation is so
beautiful andethereal, saidJohnCurtis,

zerne County chorus and harp soloist

Perhaps the volatile atmosphere of
World War II did influence one move-

that describes how this little babe, so
few days old, has come to rifle Satans
fold.
The lyrics continue: With tears he
fights and wins the field. His naked
breast stands for a shield. His battering
shot are babish cries. His arrows looks of
weeping eyes.
These are the weapons by which he
(the Christ child) is going to defeat the
perils of evil, Curtis said. Its really
striking imagery.
Its fast and intense and really almost
violent, the director explained. Its not
something you usually associate with
harp music. It really shows the whole
range of the harp. More than just angelic
Lots of hot tea, occasional rest and plenty
of Ricola cough drops.
Thats the strategy Kathleen Shucosky of
Kingston uses as she sings her way though
the Christmas season with both the Robert
Dale Chorale and the St. Nicholas Church
Choir.
Blessed as Northeastern Pennsylvania is
with an abundance of choruses, shes not the
only vocalist who finds herself heading out
to more than one rehearsal a week.
Its a fun night. You enjoy the practice
and you see your friends, said Ed Staab of
Wilkes-Barre, whos been singing with Cho-
ral Arts of Luzerne County on Tuesday
evenings and St. Nicholas Choir on Monday
and Thursday evenings.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
There is something beauti-
ful about every emotional
state. The beauty comes
when you channel your
emotions in a way that
helps to celebrate the
human condition. Its OK
to feel.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You have your eye on
your quality of life and will
notice the impact your
environment has on your
overall well-being. You
cant control the weather,
but your sense of order
and design will bring sun-
shine to any space.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Maybe youve never seen
an actual ghost or shaken
hands with your guard-
ian angel. But you havent
completely discounted that
they exist. And today youll
feel inexplicably touched
by unseen help.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There are things in your
environment that you cant
love and you cant leave
so your only sane choice is
to find a fix. Once you dive
in, the solution wont be
as expensive or as compli-
cated as you once thought
it would be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Sometimes you feel you
were put on the earth
to serve others, and you
dont mind that feeling. Its
purposeful. On the other
hand, youll be missing out
if you dont steal moments
of simple peaceful enjoy-
ment just for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You might toy with the
idea of losing your ambi-
tion or trading it in for a
level of contentment that
has always eluded you.
Youre not ready to give
up the fight yet, but youre
definitely coming to a dif-
ferent place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You will receive a blessing
of sorts. It wont be from
a religious official, and it
wont happen in a formal
context. You will feel the
energy of this blessing
open something up in you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Your greatest assets are
immaterial. Realizing this
helps you curb your appe-
tite for gadgets and gear
designed to help you pres-
ent yourself and your work
in the best light. What you
lack in tools you make up
for in talent.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). When you love a pro-
cess, the results of that
process dont matter as
much to you. Knowing this,
youll commit to a certain
action without worrying
about whether the action
will bring you success in
the end.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Uncertain of what to
do about a certain issue in
your own life, youll focus
on others for the day. Your
capacity for happiness
expands every time you
give another person a rea-
son to be happy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You will be increas-
ingly open to new modes
of communication and will
be getting information
from different people and
places. You could even get
a kind of message from an
animal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Not everything should be
taken to the committee. A
difficult decision becomes
easy to make when you
stop waiting for a consen-
sus of opinion and just do
what you think will work.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec.
4). Youll feel strongly
that you are on a mission.
In the new year, youll be
prolific, doing what you
do best and doing it as
often as any human pos-
sibly can. Youll position
yourself as an expert in
February. Youll seem to
need less sleep in March,
and youll work late hours
in order to achieve your
desired result. Scorpio and
Aries people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 6,
2, 29, 10 and 25.

DEAR ABBY
Vigil shows support for
those grieving lost child
Dear Abby:
Every year
across the
United States
and around
the world,
families must
deal with the holiday season
after the unthinkable has
happened the death of a
precious child.
In response to the need
for grieving families to have
one special day during the
difficult holidays to remem-
ber, honor and reflect on the
lives of these children who
have died at any age and
from any cause The Com-
passionate Friends, a nation-
al self-help support organiza-
tion for families grieving the
death of a child, created the
Worldwide Candle Lighting.
It is held the second Sunday
of each December and is
now in its 15th year. The
event officially takes place
at 7 p.m. local time for one
hour and continues to grow
larger every year.
The Compassionate
Friends invites your read-
ers to attend a service Dec.
11, to honor the lives of
these children, or to light
a remembrance candle at
7 p.m., wherever they may
be, whether alone or with
friends and family. They
are also invited to visit The
Compassionate Friends
national website on the day
of the Worldwide Candle
Lighting and post a remem-
brance message in our online
memory book. We do this so
that their light may always
shine, Abby. Thank you for
spreading the message.
Patricia Loder, Executive
Director, the Compassionate
Friends/USA
Dear Patricia: Youre wel-
come. The holidays are an
emotionally loaded time of
year for many people. For
families suffering from the
loss of a child, it can be even
more so. Thank you for the
support you offer them.
Readers, on Dec. 11, ser-
vices open to the public will
be held throughout the day
in hundreds of locations
across the U.S., as well as in
about two dozen countries
around the world.
Services will be held by
many of the Compassionate
Friends 630 U.S. chapters, as
well as allied organizations,
community groups, churches
and houses of worship,
funeral homes, childrens
memorial gardens, hospices,
schools, cemeteries even
community centers. To lo-
cate the nearest service and

pace gets hectic and voices can
tire but participants say its
worthwhile because singing in
harmony has a synergy that feels
almost magical.
When youre rehearsing at
home, looking at the music at the
piano, its just your one part.
When youre singing with a
group, everyone is doing some-
thing different. Its energizing,
Shucosky said. I love it.
Imsometimes jealous of my
singers because they get to sing
and I dont, said Steven Thomas,
who directs the Robert Dale Cho-
rale as well as student chorus
groups at Wilkes University.
I dont get to sing with any of
my choirs, and its something I
love.
Thomas remedies the situation
by singing with The Lyric Con-
sort, whose ANight of Snows
concert will be Dec. 17 at St.
Lukes Episcopal Church in Scran-
ton.
Fortunately, it doesnt conflict
with the Chorales Messiah Sing-
Along, scheduled for Dec. 18 at St.
Lukes, the Wilkes concert set for
Friday or this weekends Chorale
presentation, Noel Sing We,
which debuted last night in
Wilkes-Barre.
You can still catch the Noel
Sing We concert this afternoon at
3 at St. Lukes Church in Scran-
ton, where, as Thomas admitted
with a chuckle, youll find lots of
variations on the singing and the
noeling. Not every song on the
programcontains the word no-
el, but many do.
I like languages, said the
director, who recently presided
over a concert of Italian music.
The Noel Sing We lyrics delve
into Latin, French and archaic as
well as modern English.
That can add a bit of a language
lesson to rehearsals, which many
singers appreciate. They may not
have studied Latin in school, but
nowthey know, for example, rex
pacificus means king of peace.
But the best part of choral
singing comes fromthe relation-
ships, Shucosky said.
You cant sing together and not
become friends, she said. You
have relationships with the people
you see fromweek to week. Alot
of things you share fromyour
non-musical life. Theres so much
to gain fromsinging with a
group.
Members of the Wyoming
Valley Barbershop Harmony
Chorus, whose The Secret of
Christmas concert is set for 4
p.m. Dec. 11at St. Nicholas
Church in Wilkes-Barre, want to
be sure to pass their own enthusi-
asmfor singing to a newgener-
ation.
At their concert, theyll have
young men fromGARHigh
School sing Silent Night and
other pieces during a program
split between spiritual and secular
holiday songs, fromOCome All
Ye Faithful to Jingle Bell Rock.
And, if all this talk of choruses
makes you want to join in, youre
welcome to sing along when the
Robert Dale Chorale performs
Handels Messiah on Dec. 18 in
Scranton.
We have people come who
have the whole thing memorized
and we also have people who just
want to take a stab at it, Thomas
said. There are people who just
sing the Hallelujah Chorus,
because thats what they know,
and there are people who just
come to listen.
Any and all are welcome.
Thats what makes that concert
special, the interaction between
the people you expect to be the
performers, and the audience. We
break down those borders.

glissandos, there are very different
emotions.
The Britten piece contains a Gre-
gorian chant, a Balulalow lullaby
and movements with language that
might remind some audience mem-
bers of high-school Chaucer studies
or Sunday School lessons.
One of my favorite ideas about old
English carols is, you dont start out
talking about Jesus birth. You go all
the way back to Adam and start talk-
ing about original sin, Curtis said.
Americancarols never seemtogoall
the way back..
Also on the program is Camille
Saint-Saens Christmas Oratorio.
Originally intended to be perform-
ed on Christmas Eve, the lush piece
contains solos and duets as well as
passages for three, four and five sing-
ers. It explores a lot of the sounds
the human voice can make, Curtis
said.

year-oldwoulddeal withthem. I thought
that was really fascinating.
Whenshesays things, like, Dont you
know that love conquers all? Thats
something that a typical 16-year-old
would say. Here she is at 37 trying to get
her life together, and she just doesnt
have the tools to do it.
The last thing Theron wanted to do in
YoungAdult was try toelicit sympathy
for such a complicated character.
Yet Theron clearly understood Mavis.
While the actress has played plenty of
admirable women in her career think
of the steely crusader in North Coun-
try andthe determinedpolice detective
in The Valley of Elah she achieved
her best reviews, and an Oscar, for her
turn as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in
Monster.
I think that people get really kind of
freaked out when they see real women
conflicted on screen, Theron notes.
People keep going to me, Oh, its so
brave (to play Mavis). But it really isnt.
Its just refreshing. Its so great, as an ac-
tor, to get the opportunity to do some-
thing thats incredibly truthful.
In real life, Theron has survived her
share of dark times. When she was a
teenager, her mother shot and killed her
abusive father after he threatened both
women. Not long afterward, Charlize
moved to the United States to pursue
her dream of becoming a dancer. She
was a member of Joffrey Ballet before in-
juries sidelined her at 19.
She subsequently moved to Holly-
wood, where she acedroles insuchfluffy
films as Mighty Joe Black, Celebrity
and Two Days In The Valley. In 2004,
she reinvented herself as a dramatic
powerhouse with Monster.
Theron hasnt been on screen since
2009s The Road but the actress has
been busy, overseeing potential TV pro-
jects for her production company and
preparing for two films set for a 2012 re-
lease: Snow White and the Huntsman
with Kristen Stewart and Ridley Scotts
sci-fi epic Prometheus.
In early 2010, Theron passed on
Young Adult because she already had
committed to Fury Road, the fourth
film in the Mad Max series, with Tom
Hardy taking over the Mel Gibson role.
But when Fury Road was pushed back
a year, she immediately reconnected
with Reitman about Young Adult.
Now, theres talk of Theron netting
her third Oscar nomination (after Mon-
ster and North Country) for her abil-
ity to walk the fragile line between hu-
mor and heartbreak.
Its just really nice to have people
come up to me and have these little tiny
anecdotes about what they connected
with in Young Adult, she says. The
movie kindof puts themina little bit of a
Mavis mood, and so they feel free to ad-
mit that theyve done things like Mavis
has done, which is just so endearing. I
love that so much.

ts always sounded like a joke in search of a punch line: Holly-
wood star Hedy Lamarr helped develop the technology that
would make cellphones, Wi-Fi and GPS possible. This fact sug-
gests that there was more to Lamarr than her undeniable beauty.
She is remembered, if at all, for the 1949 blockbuster Samson and
Delilah and a few of the two dozen other movies she made in the
1940s and 1950s.
Lamarrs effort to invent a radio-guided
torpedo as a contribution to the Allied
cause in World War II has been noted here
and there since the 1940s. And in wonder-
ment, of course, as if the woman who
could utter dialogue like Tondelayo make
you tiffin? (in 1942s White Cargo)
couldnt be expected to think much at all.
She could think, and did. In Hedys Fol-
ly, author RichardRhodes, whowona Pu-
litzer Prize while chronicling the Atomic
Age in several books, provides enough in-
teresting details to give flavor to this curi-
ous footnote in science. There isnt all that
much to tell, though, and the story, while
intriguing, feels more than a little
stretched.
Lamarrs first husband was the Austrian
munitions millionaire Friedrich Mandl,
and she may well have been paying far
more attention than anyone thought dur-
ing his business-oriented dinners. Later,
divorced and pursuing her film career in
Hollywood, she passed up the social scene
to spend nights at home working on vari-
ous inventions, her mind alive with ideas.
Before the U.S. entered the war, Lamarr
was distressed over Germanys actions,
particularly when it sank a ship carrying
scores of children. Building a better bomb
inthis case, a torpedomay have been
her best-realized project. She also sought
to invent an anti-aircraft shell with a prox-
imity fuse, allowing it to detect a target
and explode near it.
Her co-inventor for such secret weap-
ons was equally unlikely: the composer
George Antheil. His early use of synchro-
nized player pianos gave him the insight
she needed to turn her idea a torpedo
guided by a frequency-hopping signal that
couldnt be jammed into a reality. How-
ever, gettingthe U.S. militaryonboardand
protecting their patent over time proved
to be another challenge altogether.
Lamarr the inventor eventually enjoyed
a measure of appreciation. A few years be-
fore her death in 2000, scientific societies
bestowed upon her the kind of honor and
respect that her film work never reaped.

PENGUINS WEEKEND
FEB. 25-26 Tampa Bay & Columbus at
Pittsburgh Penguins, Hotel, Free Time Station Square
CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. Over
the years, residents andtourists in
this picturesque resort town have
been guided by five gentle words:
Relax, youre on island time.
But these days, laid-back Chin-
coteague is on edge.
Ina newplantodeal withbeach
erosion and prepare for sea-level
rise, the U.S. FishandWildlife Ser-
vice proposed changes that the
mayor, the chamber of commerce
and homeowners say would even-
tuallydriveawaysummer tourism
and drive down the economy that
depends on it. Some of those
changes wouldinvolve closing the
beach and its parking lot, then
opening a beach with parking far-
ther away and shuttling tourists.
Town leaders say vacationers
wont board shuttles with all their
beach stuff umbrellas, chairs
and food. Theyll bypass Chinco-
teague for Ocean City, Md., where
hotels sit near the water.
The changes facing Chinco-
teague are coming to coastal com-
munities across the nation.
In Chincoteague, feelings are
running high, as Beth Hanback
learned after she helped shuttle
tourists to the public beach after
Hurricane Irene washed out the
parking lot.
Approached in a grocery store
by a little old lady who asked
whether shehelpedwiththat shut-
tle, Hanback thought she was
about to get a sweet, neighborly
attagirl.
Not quite. She sort of cleared
her throat and spit at me, Han-
back said. She said, Youre going
to kill this town with your [darn]
shuttle.
Hanback, executive director of
the Chincoteague Natural History
Association, was flabbergasted.
She was helping tourists, not en-
dorsing the part of the Fish and
Wildlife Services plan residents
dislike most.
For a town that relies on tou-
rism, the stakes are high. The
beach is its lifeblood, swelling its
3,500 population about tenfold in
summer.
But Chincoteague doesnt con-
trol its beach. Its part of the Assa-
teague Island National Seashore,
run by the federal National Park
Service, and sits within the Chin-
coteague National Wildlife Ref-
uge, controlled by the Fish and
Wildlife Service.
Chargedwithprotecting endan-
gered animals and managing the
refuge on a shrinking budget, the
FishandWildlifeServicearguedin
a 15-year comprehensive refuge
plan that it cant save the beach
and its parking lot from the unre-
lenting forces of nature.
Morethan100yardsof shoreline
has beenlost totheAtlanticOcean
since the mid-1960s, said Louis
Hinds, the refuge manager. A fed-
eral visitors center has been
moved twice from rising waters.
And if cars didnt occupy the 8.5-
acreparkinglot, pipingplovers, an
endangered shorebird the refuge
protects, would nest there.
At thecoreof thedebateinChin-
coteague are questions of fairness.
Should the federal government
close a beach it established and
helped popularize? Over a half-
century, it shored up Chinco-
teagues way of life, spawning doz-
ens of hotels andhundreds of rent-
al houses, restaurants and shops.
Shouldthe townexpect the cur-
rent beach and parking to last on
such a thin spit of land? Each time
the lot is washed away by storm
surge, as happened in late August,
taxpayers pay $200,000 to
$700,000 to restore it on land that
could be used for wildlife.
Our purpose here is migrating
birds. . . . Pipingploversnest onthe
beach. Disturbing adults off the
nest in the summer could mean
that the eggs will fry, Hinds said.
The agencys plan offers four al-
ternatives to operate a beach and
preservetourism. Onewouldkeep
the status quo, which would allow
thebeachtoerode. Another would
move the public beach about a
mile north, establish remote park-
ing lots and bus people to the new
location.
Chincoteague prefers none of
the above.
In trying to reach an agreement
and chart a future, Chincoteague
and Fish and Wildlife have en-
gaged in highly contentious meet-
ings.
Every aspect of the towns way
of lifeisonthetable. Inonepropos-
al, the agency would thin the herd
of wild ponies the town is permit-
ted to have from150 to 120. A re-
duced herd would ensure that
horses have enough food to sur-
vive lean times in the refuge,
Hinds said.
But Denise Bowden, spokeswo-
man for the Chincoteague Volun-
teer Fire Company, which manag-
es and sells some of the horses at
yearly auctions to supplement its
budget, was livid.
All we want is our 150 horses
and our 961 parking spaces at the
beach, Bowden said. For the life
of me, I cant understand how a
government agency can possibly
have this effect on a town.

In Chincoteague, a stampede against beach changes
If the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge beach is moved
north and a parking shuttle is created which are among federal
proposals to prepare for sea-level rise vacationers coming to
the town, above, will head to Ocean City, Md., instead, say town
leaders and business owners.
Christmas is alive and well
in Christmas City USA, an
hour or sos jaunt from
Wilkes-Barre via the Pennsyl-
vania Turnpike.
The former Bethlehem
Steel blast furnaces are light-
ing up the skyline of south
Bethlehem with the colors of
the holidays. SteelStacks has
premiered a holiday music
and light show that is shown
nightly at 5:30, 6:30, 7:30
and 8:30 through Dec. 31 on
the blast furnaces.
The popular holiday mar-
ket Christkindlmarkt has
moved to a new location.
Still nestled in a huge heat-
ed tent, but now in the PNC
Plaza, the market offers more
than 80 booths of crafts,
foods, music and, of course,
Santa Claus. Hours are 11
a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday
through Saturday and 11 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Sunday through
Dec. 18. Admission is $8 for a
daily pass and $15 for a sea-
son pass.
SteelStacks also lights its
two fire sculptures Wednes-
day through Sunday during
the holiday season. The 70-
foot-long Bridge fire sculp-
ture is lighted on the hour
from 5-9 p.m., and the Al-
chemy fire sculpture is lit
continuously from 5-9 p.m.
The streets of the Steel-
Stacks campus will be
decked in 1930s-era decora-
tions and holiday lights. In-
side the Frank Banko Ale-
house Cinema, Bethlehem,
The Christmas City is
screened daily.
The Mike and Ike Bistro in
the ArtsQuest Center is of-
fering a special holiday me-
nu.
Free parking for the vari-
ous attractions is available at
the parking lots on First
Street.
