Prying guarded wallets Retailers are relying on a variety of special to lure in cautious holiday shoppers. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com
Consumers will tighten spending this holiday season, but that doesn’t have to mean they’ll get less for their money. Thanks to heightened competition among retailers and plenty of planned online and in-store specials, savvy shoppers can make sure Santa leaves plenty of gifts under the tree. According to a recently released National Retail Federation survey, holiday shoppers say they plan to shell out an average of $516 on holiday gifts, down from last year’s $541. “When it comes to retail growth this holiday season, slow and steady wins the race – and the same is true for shoppers, who are meticulously calculating the best ways to stretch their dollar,” said NRF See FRIDAY, Page 16A INSIDE: Avoiding debt, Page 16A

The deal is out there for shoppers. Here are some ways to reel it in Here are some tips to help holiday shoppers save: • Match guarantee: Many stores will match competitors’ advertised sales price and in some cases will match it and give you a portion of
the difference. Remember to keep your receipts. If you buy a flat-screen television this weekend and then see that it’s on sale for a lower price elsewhere, bring the receipt and the advertise-
ment to the store and ask for the difference to be refunded or threaten to return it and buy it at the competition. If it has been marked down further at the same store you purchased it at, you
shouldn’t have a problem getting the difference as long as you have that receipt. • Use coupons: Stores will often place advertisements in newspapers offering a
fixed amount or a percentage off at this time of year. Stores such as Target and Toys R Us have issued coupon books. And look on comSee SHOPPING, Page 16A

mony of a graduate assistant who said he reported seeing Sandusky rape a child in 2002. Among other things, they asked for corroboration of statements by assistant coach Mike McQueary that he told Schultz and Curley he witnessed Sandusky sodomizing a 10-year-old boy in the football team showers nine years ago. They said such corroboration is needed to meet
the relatively low legal standard required for the perjury charge to advance from the preliminary hearing to county court for a full trial. “The presentment states no such corroboration,” wrote Caroline Roberto, who represents Curley, and Thomas J. Farrell, Schultz’s lawyer. “Please provide any in advance of the hearing or specify there is none, thereby
saving the court and us considerable time and inconvenience.” Roberto and Farrell acknowledged that Pennsylvania’s criminal procedure rules don’t require the disclosure they are seeking, but told state prosecutor Jonelle Eshbach she had the discretion to provide it. A spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on the letter Wednesday.

Eddie Day Pashinski, DWilkes-Barre.

ate district boundaries. On Wednesday, 15 people from Northeastern Pennsylvania, the greater Philadelphia region and the Lehigh Valley offered reasons why the proposed changes should be modified. Among those set to testify against the remapping plan was state Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca. Carroll was unable to appear but said he will submit remarks supporting his opposition to the arrangement next week. “I am continuing my efforts to secure adjustments to the prelimi-

nary plan and have chosen to submit my testimony next week in order to more precisely outline changes that make sense for our region,” Carroll said via email. Under the proposal, Carroll would see his 118th District, which is currently Luzerne County-based, with a portion of Monroe County included, shifted more toward Monroe County. The change would lower the registered Democratic majority in that district from 65 percent to 55 percent.

Sister Aidan Byron, RSM November 23, 2011 Aidan Byron, RSM, a memS ister ber of the Institute of the Sisters
of Mercy Mid-Atlantic Community, died at Mercy Center on November 23, 2011. The former Catherine Byron was born July 31, 1912, in Nanticoke, and was the daughter of William Aidan and Mary Ellen Roberts Byron. Sister Aidan graduated from Nanticoke High School and received her bachelor’s degree from Misericordia University, a BMU in Music from the Juilliard school of Music, N.Y., and an MM from Teachers College, Columbia University. Sister Aidan entered the Sisters of Mercy on September 8, 1931, in Dallas and professed her vows on March 12, 1934. Sister taught music in the Diocesan schools in Scranton and at Misericordia University, where she was also Chair of the Music Department. Sister served as the Director
of Formation for the Sisters of Mercy and directed choirs in the House of Studies. Sister Aidan felt deeply privileged to companion her sister, Ann, in her later years. Sister was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Ann Stashak. She is survived by her seven devoted nieces and nephews, all living in California, and the Sisters of Mercy. Transferral to Mercy Center will be on Monday, November 28, 2011, followed by a wake service and viewing from 2 to 4 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be on Tuesday, November 29, 2011, at 10:30 a.m. in Mercy Center Chapel followed by interment at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Hanover Township. Memorial contributions in the name of Sister Aidan Byron may be made to Mercy Center, PO Box 370, Dallas, PA 18612.
Others concerned, too Many echoed Carroll’s concerns over splitting municipalities between districts, including West Chester Mayor Carolyn Comitta who implored the commission to keep West Chester wholly represented by one state representative. Former Philadelphia City Councilman Angel Ortiz said the proposed plan “doesn’t pass the smell test.” He said not only did party politics come into play in designing the maps, but it seems race and ethnicity did, too. He said members of Philadelphia’s Latino community are not happy with the proposal, as some of their neighborhoods are being placed into suburban-Philadelphia districts they have little in common with. Spurred by new census data, the state must carry out the constitutional mandate of one person, one vote by ensuring each district is equally represented in Harrisburg. In the House, each district will represent about 62,253 constituents; in the Senate, it’s 254,048. This means some growth areas, such as the Poconos and Lancaster, will see changes based on population increases alone. So will areas like Philadelphia and the western half of the state that have seen population dips. But some of the changes were done by gerrymandering districts, a common but often-criticized practice that creates districts that have little in common beyond party registration. If the maps as proposed are adopted, “voters will continue to become more cynical,” said Elizabeth Rogan, president of the Lower Marion Township board of commissioners. She said politics need to be taken out of the process. Others urged the same. ‘Not a time to tinker’ “This is not a time to tinker partisanly. This is not a time to horse trade partisanly,” said former Scranton Mayor James Barrett McNulty. Though the testimony portion of the process is complete, the public’s chance to express concerns over the planned redistricting maps is not. The public comment period will continue until Dec.1, at which point the commission has 30 days to approve the maps and make them official. The state Supreme Court could still get involved if challenges to the maps are made on legal grounds.

William Ruzzo and Al Flora defended the ex-judge at trial, and will handle his appeal
Ciavarella lawyers to do appeal By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com
The two attorneys who represented former Judge Mark Ciavarella at his corruption trial have been appointed to handle his appeal of his conviction, but it’s not known if they will be paid with taxpayer money. Attorneys William Ruzzo and Al Flora on Tuesday officially entered their appearance on behalf of Ciavarella for his appeal before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Ruzzo said he has not yet been advised whether the court has approved Ciavarella’s request to be declared indigent, a determination that would entitle the attorneys to be paid $125 per hour – the current federal rate for court-appointed attorneys.
Ciavarella is appealing his Feb. 18 conviction on 12 charges, including racketeering and money laundering, related to his acceptance of money from Ciavarella a contractor who built two juvenile detention centers the county utilized. He was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison. Ruzzo and Flora filed a notice of appeal with the Third Circuit on Aug. 17. Ruzzo said that by doing so he and Flora have committed themselves to represent Ciavarella in the appeal, regardless of whether they will be paid. Ruzzo explained that under the
rules of the Third Circuit Court, if an attorney who represented a client at trial files an appeal, that attorney is obligated to represent the client, even if the client cannot pay the attorney and his indigency petition is denied. “If you file a notice of appeal, and you were the trial counsel, you are doing their appeal,” Ruzzo said. Ruzzo and Flora are both members of the Luzerne County Public Defender’s Office, with Flora serving as chief public defender. No county funds have been paid to either man to represent Ciavarella, as they each accepted the case through their private practices. Ruzzo previously filed court documents in August seeking to have Cia-

Daniel Ungarsky is led into District Judge Barillas Swoyersville office for arraignment Wednesday morning.
Man charged in more robberies Daniel Ungarsky charged last week in Taco Bell robbery. He was arraigned on 11 counts Wednesday.
By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com
SWOYERSVILLE – A Wilkes-Barre man charged last week with robbing a Taco Bell in Wilkes-Barre was arraigned Wednesday on other charges stemming from robberies in three other municipalities. Daniel Ungarsky, 27, of North Washington Street, was arraigned by District Judge David Barilla on 11 robberyrelated charges stemming from incidents in Pringle, Kingston Township and Plains Township. Police say Ungarsky committed the robberies to support a heroin addiction, and that after learning he used the same needle as someone infected with the AIDS virus, he “went on a rampage.” Last week, Ungarsky was charged with robbing the Taco Bell on Kidder
Street. After a spree of other robberies in the county, police called Ungarsky a “person of interest” in the crimes he was charged with Wednesday. Already held on $100,000 bail, Ungarsky is lodged at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. Barilla set $50,000 straight bail for each of the newly-charged incidents Wednesday. Ungarsky asked Barilla to lower his bail so that he is not held in a maximum security area of the prison where those with higher bails amounts are lodged. Barilla said Ungarsky can make the request to lower his bail a preliminary hearing next week. Ungarsky is tentatively scheduled for preliminary hearings on Nov. 29 before District Judge Diana Malast; Dec. 1 before District Judge James Tupper; and on Dec. 8 before Barilla. According to court papers, police said Ungarsky entered the Uni-Mart in Plains Township on Nov. 14, displayed a knife and demanded money. Ungarsky later told police he fled without any cash because he saw a ve-
hicle pull up and decided to leave. He told police he is a heroin addict and that he learned he shared a needle with someone who is infected with AIDS. He said when he found out he “went on a rampage” and used the money from the robberies to support his drug habit. That same day, Kingston police say, Ungarsky entered the Family Dollar in Pringle and demanded money while holding something in his hand he said was a gun and mace. A clerk said Ungarsky apologized for robbing the store and $687 was handed over. Ungarsky also took $20 from a store customer. The clerk said Ungarsky said, “I’m sorry about this, I know I’m a scumbag” while leaving the store. Three days later, police say, Ungarsky entered the Dollar General in Kingston Township and demanded money. A clerk said Ungarsky had a canister in his hand that she believed was mace, and that money was handed over. Ungarsky also reached into another register and grabbed money, the clerk said.
Railroad files federal lawsuit against UGI over pipeline Reading Blue Mountain & Northern alleges line requires agreement. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com
SCRANTON – An area railroad company has filed a federal lawsuit against UGI Utilities Inc. that seeks to block the company from beginning construction on a natural gas pipeline near McAdoo until a legal dispute is resolved. Attorneys for the Reading
Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad Co. filed the suit Tuesday, alleging UGI has taken action to begin constructing the gas line under a section of railroad tracks without first agreeing to sign a licensing agreement with the railroad. According to the suit, UGI has contracted with a company to bore an 874-foot tunnel and install a pipeline that would allow for the transmission of natural gas beneath a section of rail line located at mile post 8.6 in McAdoo, Carbon County. UGI filed court papers in Carbon County Court in July
seeking the approval of a petition to condemn the section of railway, which would allow it to construct the pipeline. The railroad’s lawsuit, filed by attorney J. Stephen Feinour of Harrisburg, contends UGI is obligated to first sign a licensing agreement, which contains various conditions that would protect the railroad’s interests in the property. UGI has refused to do so, Feinour said. The licensing agreement contains several provisions, including a section that would require UGI to relo-
cate the pipeline should that be deemed necessary to accommodate any improvements or additions the railroad may wish to make in the future. The suit does not state why UGI has declined to sign the agreement. Joe Swope, spokesman for UGI, did not return a phone message Wednesday seeking comment on the dispute. The contractor hired by UGI planned to begin boring the tunnel on Nov. 28. Feinour filed a separate action Tuesday that asks a judge to halt the proposed construction.
PLYMOUTH – A broken boiler could leave residents at a shelter for homeless women and children out in the cold this holiday season. Sister Marie Larkin, director of Catherine McCauley House, said the shelter’s boiler broke last Thursday, forcing the seven women and eight children who had been living there to seek shelter elsewhere until it can be fixed. The Church Street shelter provides temporary housing for women and their children who have become homeless for reasons other than domestic abuse. It was at full capacity when the heat went out. “One of the kids came back – the mothers are coming back for clothes and stuff – and one of the kids said ‘Can we come Area agencies home yet? Can we like the Unitcome home?’ So it’s kind of hard for them,” ed Way and the CommisLarkin said.

Larkin said area agencies have offered to put shelter residents up in a hotel temporarily until the boiler can be fixed, but a larger problem lies in that the shelter also doesn’t have enough money on hand to replace the heating unit, which could cost more than $40,000 by one plumber’s estimate. “It’s way beyond our means; we barely make it as it is,” Larkin said. Area agencies like the United Way and the Commission for Economic Opportunity are trying to help, but it’s unclear how much aid they can provide. Joe Calore, deputy weatherization director for CEO, said it is applying on for state Weatherization Assistance Program Grant funding on behalf of the shelter, but needs to perform an on-site home energy audit before a grant can be approved. There is a question as to whether the shelter qualifies for weatherization assistance because it is a temporary shelter rather than a permanent residence. Catherine McCauley House is funded primarily by private donors, and Larkin said the shelter would also appreciate any help the public might provide. The shelter can be reached at 779-2801.

Yemen’s president quits
WASHINGTON — Newt Gingrich, a political gambler his whole life, is banking on unorthodox stands on immigration, Social Security and other issues to propel him past Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential contest. In a few weeks, GOP voters in Iowa and New Hampshire will show whether they think the best person to challenge President Barack Obama is a comparative stranger to Washington politics or a contentious and sometimes cantankerous veteran of decades of inside-theBeltway battles. Gingrich, 68, may be the most familiar of the eight Republican candidates. But he has never been a play-it-safe politician. He has a long career of highs and lows to prove it. Romney, meanwhile, is sticking with his run-out-the-clock strategy. He’s adhering to GOP orthodoxy on immigration, not making too much noise about Social Security, and focusing his criticisms on Obama. His strategy has kept him fairly stea-
emen’s authoritarian President Ali Abdullah Saleh agreed Wednesday Y to step down after a fierce uprising to
dy in the polls for months while others — notably Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and businessman Herman Cain — have risen and fallen. Now it’s Gingrich, the historyquoting former House speaker, with a chance to prove he’s the Romney alternative who can rally and inspire Republican voters. With time running short, he’s drawing attention to himself with a familiar mix of big ideas, huge confidence and occasional bombast. Gingrich highlighted his break with traditional GOP thinking on immigration Tuesday in a televised debate, stepping into a touchy area that tripped up Perry earlier this year. Gingrich said he favors pathways to legal status for illegal immigrants who have lived peaceful, law-abiding, tax-paying lives in the United States for many years. “I don’t see how the party that says it’s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families which have been here a quarter-century,” Gingrich said in the forum, televised on CNN. “I’m prepared

to take the heat for saying let’s be humane in enforcing the law.” That spells amnesty to some critics of illegal immigration. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and the GOP establishment’s favorite, was among those who refused to play along. Any type of pathway to legal status is a magnet for more unlawful crossings from Mexico, Romney said. Immigration has vexed U.S. politicians for years. Many analysts say Re-
publicans risk angering the fast-growing Hispanic population by showing little sympathy for the millions of illegal residents already here. Eyeballs sometimes roll when Gingrich cites his books, college degrees and big-thinking proclivities. But he’s rarely dull. On Tuesday he detailed why he thinks the United States should follow Chile’s model of making Social Security accounts private for workers.

oust him from 33 years in power. The U.S. and its powerful Gulf allies pressed for the deal, concerned that a security collapse in the impoverished Arab nation was allowing an active al-Qaida franchise to gain a firmer foothold. Saleh is the fourth Arab leader toppled in the wave of Arab Spring uprisings this year, after longtime dictators fell in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. The deal gives Saleh immunity from prosecution — contradicting one key demand of Yemen’s opposition protesters. Seated beside Saudi King Abdullah in the Saudi capital Riyadh, Saleh signed the U.S.-backed deal hammered out by his country’s powerful Gulf Arab neighbors to transfer his power within 30 days to his vice president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. That will be followed by early presidential elections within 90 days.

Police have found 13 shot and burned bodies in two pickup trucks in the western city of Culiacan. Sinaloa state Attorney General Marco Antonio Higuera Gomez says neighbors called police after seeing a pickup truck on fire early Wednesday in the Antonio Rosales neighborhood. Higuera says investigators found nine bodies on the bed of the truck. Higuera says that minutes later, authorities received another report of a pickup truck burning behind a store. Police found four bodies inside that vehicle. Higuera said all 13 had been shot. PITTSBURGH

A flood of gooey black muck dropped from a tanker truck disabled about 150 cars and damaged an unknown number of other vehicles along a nearly 40-mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, officials said. A leaking valve on a tanker spread driveway sealant over the eastbound lanes of a long stretch of the Turnpike between New Castle and the Oakmont Service Plaza on Tuesday night, Turnpike spokesman Bill Capone said. Turnpike operations officials on Wednesday said 150 or more cars were disabled when the sticky goo covered their tires and wheels. Some state police and turnpike maintenance vehicles had to be towed away after getting stuck in the tar-like substance, according to the turnpike operations center. WASHINGTON
Medicare chief steps aside
The point man for carrying out President Barack Obama’s health care law will be stepping down after Republicans succeeded in blocking his confirmation by the Senate, the White House announced Wednesday. Medicare chief Don Berwick, a Harvard professor widely respected for his ideas on how to improve the health care system, became the most prominent casualty of the political wars over a health care overhaul whose constitutionality will be now decided by the Supreme Court. Praising Berwick for “outstanding work,” White House deputy press secretary Jamie Smith criticized Republicans for “putting political interests above the best interests of the American people.”

Egypt’s rulers feel more heat By AYA BATRAWY Associated Press
CAIRO — International criticism of Egypt’s military rulers mounted Wednesday as police clashed for a fifth day with protesters demanding the generals relinquish power immediately. A rights group raised the death toll for the wave of violence to at least 38. The United Nations strongly condemned authorities for what it deemed an excessive use of force. Germany, one of Egypt’s top trading partners, called for a quick transfer of power to a civilian government. The United States and the U.N. secretary general have already expressed
their concern over the use of violence against mostly peaceful protesters. Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, deplored the role of Egypt’s security forces in attempting to suppress protesters. “Some of the images coming out of Tahrir, including the brutal beating of already subdued protesters, are deeply shocking, as are the reports of unarmed protesters being shot in the head,” Pillay said. “There should be a prompt, impartial and independent investigation, and accountability for those found responsible for the abuses that have taken place should be ensured.”

Syrian activists say 2-day death toll is 34 As violence mounts, U.S. embassy has urged citizens to leave immediately.
By ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY Associated Press
BEIRUT — Syrian security carried out raids in rebellious areas in the center and the south of the country Wednesday, and at least six people died, raising the death toll in the past two days to 34, activists said, as the U.S. and Turkey took unusual steps to protect their
citizens. Syrian President Bashar Assad was under increasing international pressure to stop the brutal crackdown, but no effects were apparent on the ground. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens in Syria to depart “immediately,” and Turkey’s foreign ministry urged Turkish pil-
grims to opt for flights to return home from Saudi Arabia to avoid traveling through Syria. Activists and human rights groups said at least six people died in central and southern Syria on Wednesday, some during raids by Syrian security forces, and others who died of injuries sustained earlier.
MOSCOW — If Washington continues to ignore Russia’s demands about a proposed U.S. missile shield in Europe, Russia will deploy new missiles aimed at it and put arms control on hold, President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday. The tough statement reflected a growing strain in U.S.-Russian ties, despite President Barack Obama’s campaign to “reset” American relations with the Kremlin, which were The White strained by House says years of tensions over U.S. the U.S. will foreign policy not limit or and the 2008 change its Russian-Geormissile degian war. fense plans in Medvedev said he still Europe. hopes for a deal on the U.S. missile shield, but he strongly accused the U.S. and its NATO allies of ignoring Russia’s worries. The White House says the U.S. will not limit or change its missile defense plans in Europe. Spokesman Tommy Vietor says the U.S. has been open and transparent with Moscow on its missile defense plans in Western Europe. The U.S. has repeatedly said those plans reflect a growing threat from Iran and wouldn’t be directed against Russia’s nuclear forces. Vietor says the implementation of the U.S. missile shield is going well and the U.S. sees no basis for threats to withdraw from it. The U.S. has repeatedly assured Russia that its proposed missile defense system wouldn’t be directed against Russia’s nuclear forces, but Moscow has demanded legally binding assurances, and Medvedev did that again on Wednesday.

Flooding hinders Hillside
Storm drain may be to blame for the mess that delayed the business’ opening Wednesday. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com
KINGSTON TWP. -- The dairy store at The Lands at Hillside Farms suffered a significant blow to sales Wednesday after it was forced to close for several hours due to flooding that’s believed to have been caused by a backed up storm drain system. Suzanne Kapral Kelly, spokeswoman for Hillside Farms, said employees arrived at the store at around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and discovered it was flooded with about 2 inches of water.
Employees and volunteers workedthroughoutthemorningto clear out the water and clean up. The state Department of Agriculture inspected the store and gave permission for it to re-open at about 11:45 a.m. Kelly said authorities believe the flooding was caused by construction being done at a nearby bridge that apparently altered the flow of water in the storm drainage system, causing it to back up and push up through the ground. Kelly said Wednesday was expected to be one of the busiest days of the year for the store as customers prepared for Thanksgiving holiday. She estimated the store lost at least $5,000 in sales in the hours it was closed. “It couldn’t have come at a worse

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Authorities said Wednesday they dropped a charge against a German MercedesBenz executive who was arrested under Alabama’s new crackdown on illegal immigration after a police officer caught him driving without identification required by the law.

Tony Decker November 22, 2011 ony Decker, age 50, died unexpectedly at his home on TuesT day, November 22, 2011.
He was born on May 20, 1961, in Hanover Township and was the son of Jean Lynn Decker of Hanover Township and the late Tony Decker Sr. Tony is survived by his loving wife of 18 years, the former Patricia Forgach, and three sons, Joshua, Nicholas and Cody. He was a graduate of Meyers High School, Class of 1979. Tony was known to be a dedicated Dallas Cowboy, New York Yankee and Penn State fan. If you asked him anything about sports, he was a walking wealth of knowledge, such as, batting averages, completed passes or team standings. When his sons began playing sports, it goes without saying, that he was their biggest fan. He was very proud of his three boys and made sure he was in the stands while they played football, basketball and baseball. Tony also had a great sense of humor. At family gatherings, he was a master at telling a story, joke or doing his impersonations. In no time at all, he would have everyone laughing hysterically and requesting another story or joke. Tony was always there for his family no matter whom or no matter what. He would take the time to listen. He would try to fix anything that was wrong in his own way. He had a big heart, a heart we can never replace. A heart we will miss forever. He was a member of the Honey Pot Fireman’s Club and its pool leagues. Also, he was a member of

class majority it purports to represent. The corporations, not the shoppers, are the focus of any protests, they say. But organizers do hope their actions drive people to reconsider shopping at national chains and direct their attention to small, locally owned stores. That may not fly with small businesses wary of any association with the movement, which presents itself as pushing back against corporate power. “If you ask, a lot of small business owners identify as business owners, not specifically small business,” said Jean Card, spokeswoman for the National Federation of Independent Business. “I would like to believe there is a silver lining, but I don’t picture a frustrated consumer that can’t
get into a box store turning around and going to a small business. I see that person going home.” Trying to shop exclusively local neglects economies of scale, job specialization and other benefits that big, multistate corporations can bring, said George Mason University economist Russ Roberts. “Don’t punish yourself by not shopping where you can get the best deal; that’s foolish,” Roberts said. Besides, small businesses aren’t necessarily better employers in terms of wages, benefits, opportunities for advancement and other measures, said John Quinterno, principal at the public policy research firm South by North Strategies in Chapel Hill,

Oregon gov. backs away from executions By JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press
SALEM, Ore. — Haunted by regret for allowing two men to be executed more than a decade ago, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber now says it’ll never happen again on his watch. Calling Oregon’s death penalty scheme “compromised and inequitable,” the Democratic governor said Tuesday he’ll issue a reprieve to a twice-convicted murderer who was scheduled to die by lethal injection in two weeks. He said he’d do the same for any other condemned inmates facing execution during his tenure in office. “I simply cannot participate once again in something that I be-
lieve to be morally wrong,” the governor said in uncharacteristically emotional remarks during a news conference in his office. “It is time for this state to consider a different approach,” he said. Death penalty proponents quickly criticized the decision, saying the governor is usurping the will of voters who have supported capital punishment. Kitzhaber’s decision halts the execution of 49-year-old Gary Haugen, who had disregarded advice from his lawyers and asked to waive his remaining appeals in protest of a justice system he views as unjust and vindictive. Haugen, who was scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Dec. 6, is one of 37 inmates on Oregon’s death row. Haugen was serving a life sentence for fatally bludgeoning his former girlfriend’s mother, Mary Archer, when he was sentenced
to death for the 2003 killing of fellow inmate David Polin, who had 84 stab wounds and a crushed skull. Oregon has executed two men since voters reinstated the death penalty in 1984. Both inmates, like Haugen, had abandoned appeals, but in those cases Kitzhaber didn’t intervene, saying his oath of office required him to let the executions proceed. Kitzhaber’s first two terms as governor began in 1995. The next year, Douglas Wright was executed, Harry Moore the year after that. After eight years out of office, the Democratic governor was elected to a third term last year and, his voice shaking, said Tuesday he has long regretted those decisions. He said he has come to believe that Oregon voters did not intend

to create a death penalty scheme in which the only inmates who are put to death are those who volunteer. “The reality is that, in Oregon,
our death sentence is essentially an extremely expensive life prison term,” Kitzhaber said. “Far more expensive than the terms of others who are sentenced to life
in prison without parole, rather than to death row.” Kitzhaber fought tears as he said he spoke to relatives of Haugen’s victims, saying they were difficult discussions and his “heart goes out to them.” He declined to discuss them further, calling them “private conversations.” “We’ve been dealing with this since 1981,” Ard Pratt, Archer’s first husband, told The Associated Press. “It was almost over. And then he changes it because he’s a coward and doesn’t want to do it.” Kitzhaber is a former emergency room doctor who still retains an active physician license with the Oregon Medical Board, and his opposition to the death penalty has been well-known. In a news conference explaining his decision, he cited his oath as a physician to “do no harm.”

Hiring of replacement contractor controversial Mike Bugelholl replacing Carl Yorina, who resigned after being elected to board. By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent
EXETER -- The hiring of a replacement for an independent contractor recently elected to the school board raised questions from board members and the audience alike at Tuesday’s Wyoming Area School Board meeting. Carl Yorina, who was voted onto the board earlier this month, had been the contractor hired as the district’s wastewater treatment plant operator at the Sarah J. Dymond Elementary School, for which he was paid $21,500. On Tuesday, the board accepted Yorina’s letter of resignation for that position effective Dec. 1 and appointed Mike Bugelholl as wastewater treatment plant op-
erator at $13,000. Board member Frank Casarella voted no on the appointment and said he wasn’t in favor of the additional salary given to Bugelholl, who is already a district employee. Several audience members questioned Bugelholl’s licensing and who would be liable in the event of a wastewater spill from the plant, as well as whether the job was posted. Superintendent Ray Bernardi said Bugelholl is properly licensed as a wastewater treatment plant operator and is pursuing licensing for drinking-water testing, which is another function previously provided by Yorina. Bernardi said he was unsure about the liability issue but would investigate, and confirmed the job was posted “five or six months ago.” Bernardi said the district’s union insisted that the position must be filled by a unionized
worker, and noted that not many people are both a member of the union and certified in wastewater management. He said Bugelholl, who is a union employee, pursued the licensing in anticipation of the position someday becoming available. Bernardi said that once Yorina leaves the position next week, the district could be fined by the state Department of Environmental Protection for each day it is without someone monitoring the wastewater system. In other personnel-related matters, the board approved retirement incentives for Deanna Sabola and Tom Pepe, accepted the resignation of Jennifer Alaimo and the notice of intent to retire from assistant secondary principal Cathy Raineli, and approved an agreement between the district and the Wyoming Area Education Association to allow any member of the profes-
HAZLETON AREA SCHOOL BOARD
Investors sought for property buys By JIM MORRISSEY Times Leader Correspondent
HAZLE TWP. – The Hazleton Area School Board on Tuesday night hired Brian Bradley, vice president of RBC Capital Markets, to put together investors to raise $9.99 million for the purchase of the CanDo and Bishop Hafey buildings. Bradley was able to attain a 20year fixed rate debt with an average interest of 3.3 percent. The first year of debt payment for the district will be only .85 percent, and through the 20th year, which will be 2032, the interest rate will not exceed 3.85 percent. District officials chose this method of attaining the money rather than going to a bank because the bank would have had a variable rate, which would have been more expensive. Board President Clarence John wanted to go on record to say that

Former St. Hedwig’s School to be vets housing Portions of property in Kingston to be renovated; Edwardsville church to stay. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com
The former St. Hedwig’s School in Kingston will house 12 apartments for veterans as part of a $2 million project set for construction next year, a Diocese of Scranton representative said. The project has been planned for years, tied up by zoning issues on the portion of the property that lies in Edwardsville. The St. Hedwig’s Church is in Edwardsville, and the convent, rectory and school are in Kingston, said Steve Nocilla, the housing and residential services director for the diocese. The diocese wanted to replace the rectory, church and convent with a three-story building connected to the school, creating a 36-unit apartment complex of one- and
two-bedroom units for veterans and their families, Nocilla said. While Kingston residents and officials welcomed the project, Edwardsville refused to grant zoning approval, he said. Some residents had expressed concerns the project would attract veterans with psychological and substance abuse problems. The diocese lost county and state zoning appeals for the Edwardsville portion of the project, Nocilla said. The new scaled-back version will put a dozen apartments in the school and demolish the rectory and convent to create parking and a park area for tenants. The Zerby Avenue church, which closed at the end of 2007 under diocese consolidations, will remain for now, Nocilla said. The diocese will attempt to find another use for the structure or dismantle it if funds become available, he said. The Catholic Social Services
of the Diocese of Scranton is overseeing the apartment project and is borrowing funds to cover costs that are not covered by a $400,000 allocation from the Luzerne County Community Development Office approved in 2010, he said. Built in 1923, the school closed a decade ago. “We wanted to find a way to reuse the structure,” Nocilla said. Veterans need affordable housing as they seek employment and possibly rehabilitation for war-related injuries, he said. The veterans will pay up to 30 percent of their income in rent. A building manager will be on site to supervise the complex. Kingston Mayor Jim Haggerty said the project will help veterans and prevent the former school from decaying. “The people in Kingston are supportive of the troops and CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER supportive of services for returning soldiers and their fam- The former St Hedwig’s School in Kingston will soon be renovated into a 12-unit apartment complex ilies,” Haggerty said. for veterans and their families.
Wapwallopen woman sentenced to house arrest, probation for role in $3.6 million cocaine ring By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – A Wapwallopen woman was sentenced Wednesday to 23 months in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program for her role in a $3.6 million cocaine distribution ring. Michelle Ulitchney, 50, was sentenced on three related charges to which she pleaded guilty in March 2010. She was sentenced by Luzerne County Judge Thomas Burke, who said the first 11 1⁄2 months of Ulitchney’s sentence will be served on house arrest with the remaining on probation. Prosecutors say Ulitchney

Questioned by police, Williams said he was at the school that day to try out for the basketball team but was not chosen for the squad. He admitted that he stole the phones from the locker room as he left the school, and that he threw them out a window at his home after he saw police cars outside.
played a part in the ring that began in July 2008. The ring was busted in March 2009 when undercover agents raided a clubhouse and a member’s home, as well as four other locations. Police said Ulitchney and several other people were members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club and that thousands of calls were intercepted and controlled cocaine purchases were made. Ulitchney’s attorney, Demetrius Fannick, said Wednesday his client has taken responsibility for her actions and played a “limited” part in the actual offenses, including making phone calls. Deputy Attorney General Tim Williams also admitted the suspected marijuana belonged to him, telling officers he sold the drugs to several people about 10 times a week. Williams was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Andrew Barilla on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, theft, receiving stolen property and several other offenses. He was transported to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, where he is being held for lack of $50,000 straight bail.

Doherty said Ulitchney has cooperated from the beginning and that he was not seeking jail time for Ulitchney. John Ricci, 38, of Hanover Township, was also scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday for his role in the ring, but his sentencing was continued to Dec. 9.
Four members have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing in Luzerne County Court, including Kenneth Koonrad, of Wilkes-Barre, who is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 20. Most recently, Anthony Manchio, 51, of Wapwallopen, who investigators say was the main cocaine supplier, was sentenced
last month to five to 10 years in state prison on 13 related charges he pleaded guilty to in April. Thirteen others have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced, including: Michael Scavone, of Harveys Lake; John Gonda, of White Haven; Francis Buraczewski, of Wilkes-Barre; John Macking, of Hanover Township;
Michelle Adams, of Harveys Lake; Paul Czerniakowski, of Wilkes-Barre; Patrick Brown, of Dallas; Mitchell Miller, of Wilkes-Barre; Larry Gwynn, of Hanover Township; Lazaro Salavarria, of Wilkes-Barre; Joseph Janick, of Ashley; Michael Brostoski, of Wilkes-Barre; Michael Bafile, of Berwick.

OTHER OPINION: HEALTHY EATING
Debate sours on school lunches
O
NE WOULD THINK that an effort to encourage healthier eating habits among children would win nearly universal support, even in our splintered society. One would be wrong. When first lady Michelle Obama started her efforts to encourage healthier eating and educate the public about proper nutrition, she was met with withering attacks from critics who falsely accused her of dictating what Americans should and shouldn’t eat. We certainly don’t support having the government try to force people to eat properly. But when it comes to children, the government does have some say over what they eat, or at least to which foods they have access at lunchtime during the school year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had proposed standards that, among other things, would limit the use of potatoes on the lunch line, put new restrictions on sodium and boost the use of whole grains. Lawmakers in Congress blocked the changes last week with legislation prohibiting the department from using money to carry out the new rules. As a
EDITORIAL BOARD
result, tomato paste on pizzas will continue to be counted as a vegetable. Some lawmakers argued that this is an issue of personal freedom – that the government shouldn’t be telling children what to eat. That’s true, but parents do have a say in the matter, and they always have the option of packing a lunch if they don’t like what’s being served in the school cafeteria. Of course, the real issue had little to do with ideals of personal freedom or proper nutrition. It had to do with money. Frozen pizza manufacturers, the salt industry and potato growers are among those who lobbied Congress to prevent the changes from taking effect, lest they be knocked out of the school lunch business. Corporate influence wasn’t the only factor. Some school districts have said some of the USDA proposals went too far and cost too much at a time of extremely tight budgets. It’s a shame things have come to this. Encouraging healthy eating habits must begin at a young age to have the best chance of taking hold as children grow into adults. Reading Eagle

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

Rosqueta is the founding executive director of the Center for High Impact Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy & Practice. (Visit www.impact.upenn.edu).

I hope those big retailers compensate their employees for ripping them away from their families on this family holiday. It should be like the good old days. No Thanksgiving advertisements until after Halloween. No Christmas advertising or carols until after Thanksgiving. No Santa parades until after Thanksgiving (local municipalities are guilty of this).

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

Tip: Think first, shop later Consumer spending experts advise holiday shoppers to stick to a plan to avoid debt. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com
There is a joy to holiday giving, but doing so without the pain of debt requires planning and self-control. Terri Stocki, certified education director for the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Northeastern Pennsylvania, said savvy shoppers will determine what they can afford to spend and what they want to buy before heading out in the wee morning hours to hunt Black Friday deals. “When we say making your list and checking it twice, that goes double for your budget,” Stocki said. “Make sure you know what your expenses will be, and don’t give more than you can afford.” Those on a tight budget should think of simple ways to reduce expenses like cutting back on restaurant meals and coffee-to-go, and re-

administration at VAntage Trust Federal Credit Union in WilkesBarre, said shoppers should be discerning in signing up for store credit cards, which offer incentives and instant approval at the cost of sky-
high interest rates. Sign up for too many and you risk ruining your credit, McGraw cautioned. If you must shop on credit, use a low-interest card and pay off the
balance as soon as you can. A Nintendo Wii retailing for $200 could end up costing you nearly $600 if you make only minimum payments on a high-interest card, Farrell said.

Checking out the sales at the Wyoming Valley Mall this week, she said neither Black Friday nor waiting for last-minute bargains typically are her style. But 2011 may be different. She said that with a new child and her husband making less money at a new job, she’ll
have to plan better this year. According to the retail federation’s survey, 62.2 percent of Americans say the U.S. economy will affect their holiday spending plans. Joe Ohrin, the Wyoming Valley Mall’s spokesman, said he has noticed stores offering more sales in the weeks before Black Friday in recent years as the holiday shopping season starts earlier. It’s a competition that’s heating up, especially with fewer dollars expected to be spent and fewer gifts set to be bought. Holiday shoppers plan to buy

A little Thanksgiving football appetizer

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com
Last night it was a movie. Today it will be Thanksgiving dinner. Given all that has gone on around Penn State football lately, these are very small things to organize. But Tom Bradley hopes they will add up. The interim coach has spent most of his waking hours trying to keep the Nittany LiUP NEXT ons’ season Penn State at from coming Wisconsin apart in these 3:30 p.m. past two Saturday weeks. And (ESPN) while much of that has dealt with on-field matters, Bradley has had to take care of his players away from the gridiron as well. This week, those players expressed how much they appreciated his work. “I have a ton, ton, ton of respect for coach Bradley,” quarterback Matt McGloin said. “He understands it’s a tough situation, and he’s doing a great job as head coach. My respect for him is through the roof. “A lot of people don’t understand the type of person he is. He’ll do anything for you, and he’s been doing a lot of work.” That included renting out a movie theater Wednesday night as Bradley and the entire squad took in a showing of “The Immortals.” “We’ll see how that goes,” Bradley deadpanned on Tuesday. “The NCAA said we’re allowed to give them popcorn and a Coke. So that’s a good start. “We’ve got some things because it is Thanksgiving – we have a Thanksgiving dinner planned for them. … We’ll try to See PSU, Page 5B

Pack remembers last trip to Detroit TODAY’S NFL TV SCHEDULE
By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer
DETROIT — The last time Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came to Detroit, they looked like anything but Super Bowl contenders. Of course, the Green Bay quarterback has a perfectly valid explanation for why the Lions slowed him down. “They gave me a concussion,” Rodgers said. Rodgers recovered from that jarring December loss, leading the Packers to a Super Bowl title, but the way the Lions shut down their NFC North rivals still resonates. This trip to Detroit to face Ndamukong Suh on Thanksgiving could be the toughest remaining test of the regular season for the unbeaten Packers. “Another game, another opportunity to get after another great team,” said Suh, Detroit’s imposing defensive tackle. “They’re a great offense, and one that’s very potent.” It’s hard to imagine now, but the Packers were actually in danger of missing the playoffs after they lost 7-3 in

Thanksgiving losing streak. The last time they won their traditional holiday game was in 2003, when they intercepted Brett Favre three times in a 22-14 victory over Green Bay. “We want to make sure that the players understand the tradition of this game, its importance to the city, its place in the history of the National Football League,” Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said. “When you wake up downtown and they’re setting up for the parade, I mean, it’s not just a normal day. Thanksgiving in Detroit is different than other cities.” This entire year has been different so far for the Lions. Their resurgence actually began with that victory over Green Bay, the start of a four-game winning streak to end last season. Detroit also won its first five games this season. The Lions beat the Packers last year with third-string quarterback Drew Stanton. Now, starter Matthew Stafford is healthy. He’s started every game this season, throwing 25 touchdowns
Detroit last season. Rodgers left with a concussion toward the end of the second quarter, but Green Bay was sputtering even while he was in the game. Rodgers missed the following week’s game, a loss to New England, but the Packers have won 16 straight since. Green Bay (10-0) hasn’t been held under 21 points this season, and Rodgers has thrown 31 touchdown passes with only four interceptions. The Lions (7-3) face a daunting task if they’re going to end their seven-game See NFL, Page 5B

GAR hopes to learn from rough experience at states GAR’s first experience in the PIAA Class 2A playoffs was a learning experience. The final grade was far from passing – Northern Lehigh 50, GAR 14. The Grenadiers, though are taking the knowledge from that game – as unpleasant as it was – and are applying it as they prepare for Friday’s state game against District 11 champion Pen Argyl at Spartan Stadium in Kingston. “We got to feel what it’s like to get in the championship and the state playoffs,” GAR lineman Joe Olejar said. “We know what it’s like now. It’s definitely different. We can go in with a game plan and not go in
JOHN ERZAR NOTEBOOK blindly. We didn’t know how intense it was going to be last year. Now we do know it’s going to be insanity pretty much.” The craziness was all on Northern Lehigh’s side early on as the Spartans fumbled three times on their opening drive. And GAR couldn’t take advantage of any of them. Northern Lehigh regrouped and in a flash was ahead 29-0 in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the Grenadiers couldn’t do anything right. Receiver Shaliek Powell caught a touchdown pass in See ERZAR, Page 5B
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
GAR players head out to practice for Friday’s PIAA Class 2A showdown against Penn Argyl. The Grenadiers lost in their state opener last season.
e came to the Wyoming Valley hoping to discover a better way of life, and will leave with a football future much brighter than anyone else in his conference. So Eugene Lewis has a lot to be grateful for this Thanksgiving Day. “I thank Jesus Christ for the whole situation,” said Lewis, the son of a minister. His situation is simple. Lewis played his last football game in the area for the West team in Wednesday night’s UNICO Classic. Then the Wyoming Valley West star will head off to Penn State, despite all the sudden turmoil in Happy Valley, where he is destined to become the kind of star with the Nittany Lions that Raghib Ismail turned out to be for Notre Dame. “I’m still committed to Penn State,” Lewis said. “This will be a great time for the new class to come in and make a whole new era for Penn State.” The old era ended pretty badly for the program, with former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky charged with sexually abusing children in a scandal that cost legendary head coach Joe Paterno his job as part of an investigation that shocked the sports world. Including the incoming recruits. “It was Penn State. They were flawless,” Lewis said of the school’s image. “I’m sure some people have been waiting to have something like this happen to Penn State. “This could happen to anybody,” Lewis continued. “The aspiration I’ll have is just to think positive.” He sure made a positive impact on Valley West. Lewis left the Penn Ridge school district in the Philadelphia area in seventh grade to live with his father, Eugene Lewis Sr. and his step-mom, Amy Lewis, on the Wyoming Valley’s west side. “It was tough for me to come up here,” said Lewis, a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan who admires current Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. “But it was time for my dad to teach me some stuff.” You can’t teach what Lewis does on a football field. A natural wide receiver, Lewis was a game-changer just about everywhere – and every time – he played – for the Spartans. He was almost unstoppable as a running and passing quarterback for Valley West this season. He scored on punt returns and scored on interception returns. Lewis had a game for the ages in a district playoff loss to Whitehall as a sophomore. He caught six passes for 168 yards and returned two kickoffs for 120 more in a one-man show Valley West fans will remember long after he leaves. “My sophomore year, I figured I could do some things and definitely go to college for this,” Lewis said. He went into a game against Dallas leading an unbeaten Valley West team this season, only to be stopped short of the goal line on a two-point conversion run. When the Spartans lost the game by a point, it left Lewis with his biggest regret. “That will haunt me for the rest of my life,” Lewis said. But there weren’t many bad memories like that for Lewis. He tried to produce one last shining moment for Wyoming Valley fans to remember him by, while trying to have some fun in the UNICO game Wednesday night. It came at the end of a career filled with thrills. We all should be thankful for that.

Meyer continues to refute OSU reports By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Despite numerous reports saying he’s all but set to become Ohio State’s next football coach, Urban Meyer said Wednesday that is not the case. “I have not been offered any job nor is there a deal in place,” the former Florida coach said in a statement released through ESPN, where he is a college football analyst. “I plan on spending Thanksgiving with my family and will not comment on this any further.” Several websites, TV stations and The Columbus Dispatch have reported that Meyer has reached an agreement in principle
with Ohio State and, barring any last-minute problems, will be introduced as the Buckeyes’ coach next week. Meyer People within the athletic department and close to the team told The Associated Press the job has not been offered to Meyer and nothing has been completed. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the coaching search is supposed to be confidential. Athletic director Gene Smith declined to comment Wednesday. Ohio State, under interim coach Luke Fickell, plays at No.
Golden’s season of turmoil set to end
17 Michigan on Saturday. Fickell, who some reports have said will be retained on Meyer’s staff, declined to address the story, which has been percolating for days. “No. I won’t,” he said Wednesday. “It’s not about that. I’m going to have enough respect for this football game to make sure it’s about this football game. I don’t think this is the time and the place.” Speaking briefly to reporters, he was asked if he knew if a decision on a new coach had been made yet. “I know there’s a game at noon on Saturday,” he said. Meyer is from Ashtabula and was a graduate assistant at Ohio State under Earle Bruce in the
1980s. He grew up an Ohio State fan and has said he has a portrait of legendary Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes hanging prominently in his home. In addition to winning national titles in Florida in 2006 and 2008, he has also been a head coach at Bowling Green and Utah and worked as an assistant at Notre Dame, Colorado State and Illinois State. He announced in December 2009 he was stepping away from coaching because of health concerns, but quickly changed his mind. After taking a leave of absence, he returned to the sidelines for the 2010 season and then retired again in December. Alabama coach Nick Saban
said he would welcome Meyer back into the coaching fraternity. “Urban Meyer is a very good coach, he’s a good teacher. He’s good for young people,” Saban said on the Southeastern Conference coaches conference call this week. “If coaching is in his heart, I think that’s what he should do.” Saban said he understood why Meyer had apparently changed his mind about returning to coaching. “As you go through life and you do things and you make choices and decisions about what you do — and I know his involved circumstances around his health — but still you learn about yourself in everything you do,” Saban said. “As you learn these things,

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — There were nights when Al Golden wondered if he had made a horrible mistake. He was hired as Miami’s football coach last December by an athletic director who left a couple months later. He had to scramble for recruits. A top linebacker was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer, a good running back asked for his release and another player was dismissed after being accused of attacking a female student. By now, all those events have been largely forgotten, Golden which is understandable. Golden’s first season at Miami ends on Friday when the Hurricanes play host to Boston College. Regardless of what happens in that game, his 2011 season will be remembered by scandals — the one at Miami after a former booster went public with a massive list of shocking allegations, and the one at his alma mater Penn State, where shocking child sexual abuse allegations ultimately led to the firing of legendary coach Joe Paterno, Golden’s mentor. Golden has a 300-page binder on his desk, a users’ manual of sorts for coaching. Suffice to say, there’s no chapters to guide him through what popped up this year. “First of all, Al’s a quality individual, human being, great character, great football coach,” said Boston College coach Frank Spaziani, who has known Golden since the mid-1980s. “I think he’s handled it marvelous. I think he’s done a tremendous job, really, with all the distractions and all the problems that he’s had to navigate through. It’s a tribute to his skills.” Every day this season, it seemed like there was a new problem for Golden to deal with. Suspensions of eight players for their role in the Nevin Shapiro scandal to begin the year. A slew of injuries, mainly at defensive line. A player punching a North Carolina opponent in the groin. Another player investigated for having dinner with the owner of a public-relations firm. Golden’s longtime agent stirred up news at one point, suggesting his client would have options to leave Miami if NCAA penalties handcuff the program for years. And then the Penn State story broke, bringing new speculation Golden may want to return there. Finally, the university self-imposed a bowl ban for this season, a move announced Sunday.
sometimes things change in terms of what his direction is. I think everybody has to do that, and I don’t think anybody should be criticized for that.” Jim Tressel was pressured to resign on May 30 after 10 years as the coach of the Buckeyes. His downfall came about when it was learned that he knew that several of his players had accepted cash and tattoos from a tattoo parlor, the focus of a federal drug-trafficking investigation. Ohio State is awaiting NCAA penalties stemming from several violations. Fickell, a defensive assistant coach for nine years with the Buckeyes, was subsequently promoted to head coach.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban will lead the No. 2 Crimson Tide against the Auburn Tigers Saturday. A victory could send Alabama back to the BCS Championship Game. No. 1 LSU, meanwhile, hosts No. 3 Arkansas with the SEC West title still on the line.
Plenty still at stake By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Southeastern Conference has played significant games every week for the last six seasons. This week might be bigger than any of the others. Yes, the league that has won five consecutive national championships and had a regular-season matchup dubbed “The Game of the Century” earlier this month has as many meaningful games this weekend as any weekend in recent years. In addition to Arkansas-LSU, which will help determine the Western Division race, the league has renowned rivalries on tap, long winning streaks at stake and plenty of postseason implications on the line. The No. 3 Razorbacks and the top-ranked Tigers get the weekend started Friday with a game that has turned out to be as relevant to the conference and national championship pictures as the much-hyped LSU-Alabama game three weeks ago. LSU can secure a spot in the SEC title game with a victory. The Razor-
backs need to win and have Auburn upset No. 2 Alabama the following day to definitely reach Atlanta. And there are several scenarios involving the Bowl Championship Series national title game, including the premise that the game could pit two SEC teams that don’t even play for the league crown. “I have to be real honest with you. I have not been able to internalize any of that,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “I can tell you one thing. We’re going to play this very talented team in our stadium. ... Frankly, it is one of those games that you look forward to playing.” The winner of the Iron Bowl, the annual in-state rivalry game between Alabama and Auburn, has won the last two national championships and could be a factor again. “I feel like all SEC teams and rivalries are kind of like this,” Crimson Tide linebacker Dont’a Hightower said. “You get all the energy up for that game, and then you win that game, you go off and have so much steam so
you go off to the SEC championship and then the national championship.” It doesn’t work like that everywhere. Tennessee, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt all need wins to become bowl eligible. The Volunteers (5-6) play at Kentucky (4-7), a team they have beaten 26 times in a row. It’s the longest active winning streak in the country in an annually played series. “I expect for Kentucky to come out and try to be spoilers for us,” Vols defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. “They don’t have a bowl game, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to play for. They can kind of say, ‘Oh yeah, we didn’t go to a bowl game but neither did Tennessee because we beat them. ...’ “We can’t take Kentucky lightly because, if we do, they’ll beat us. They’ll be happy they beat us and we’ll be sad because we’ll be sitting at home in December.” The Bulldogs (5-6) host instate rival Mississippi in the Egg Bowl. The teams have one SEC
victory between them this season, making this the least attractive matchup, but Mississippi State desperately wants to make back-to-back bowl games for the first time in more than a decade. Ole Miss, meanwhile, has lost 13 consecutive conference games but would love to send fired coach Houston Nutt out on a positive note. “A lot of the guys had a little extra bounce this week,” Nutt said. Vanderbilt (5-6) has made a bowl game just once since 1982. The Commodores lost close games to Georgia, Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee this season, leaving them with a mustwin scenario against Wake Forest. “More than ever, it’s a onegame season,” Vandy defensive tackle Rob Lohr said. “We have to win this in order to go to a bowl game. We have to be ready.” Assuming the league gets two spots in the BCS for the sixth consecutive season, Tennessee, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt would need wins for the conference to fill all of its bowl slots.
HONOLULU — University of Hawaii coach Greg McMackin told reporters after Wednesday’s practice that he’s been asked not to comment on allegations that some players have been involved in point-shaving. The university said Tuesday the admissions office received an anonymous letter Nov. 3 accusing unnamed players of intentionally playing poorly to affect the final score as part of a gambling scheme. Honolulu police and the NCAA were notified afterward, but police have said there isn’t enough information for a criminal investigation. McMackin directed questions to university spokeswoman Lynne Waters, who wouldn’t comment Wednesday on whether the university would conduct a probe. On Tuesday, she declined to say whether the anonymous letter referred to current members of the football team or incidents alleged to have happened in previous years. Also on Wednesday, the NCAA said it was “extremely concerned” by the allegations and has been in contact with the school since early this month. “We take any allegation of point shaving very seriously as it is a crime that threatens two core NCAA principles — the well-being of student-athletes and the very integrity of intercollegiate sport,” a statement said. When asked about preparing for Saturday’s game against Tulane, McMackin said the team has faced challenges before. “It’s just another form of adversity,” he said. “I really believe in these guys. I love these players, I love the coaches, and a lot of people are going through adversity in our world. I’m a teacher. I’ve had to teach through adversity to the team more than I’ve had to.” Warriors receiver Jeremiah Ostrowski said the allegations won’t affect the team’s play. “Individually, it has nothing to do with any of us as players,” he said. “We all know that we aren’t a part of it, so really it’s no distraction. We just have to maintain focus.”
Annual Backyard Brawl threatened by Big East changes By JOHN RABY AP Sports Writer
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The Backyard Brawl could be taking a breather. The 116-year-old series between Pittsburgh and West Virginia, and a few other rivalries in the Big East, may have less significant roles as conference realignment takes hold over the next few years. Pittsburgh and Syracuse are
expected to leave for the Atlantic Coast Conference after the 2013 season. West Virginia is off to the Big 12 at an undetermined date. With nonconference matchups often scheduled years in advance, that puts a question mark on the immediate prospects of games such as the Backyard Brawl and the River City Rivalry between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. While the athletic directors of West Virginia and Pittsburgh
have indicated they’d like to keep their game going, there’s a walkdown-memory-lane feel to this year’s Brawl, which takes place Friday night in Morgantown. Just don’t ask West Virginia (7-3, 3-2 Big East) and Pittsburgh (5-5, 3-2) to hold hands. “It’s obviously the biggest game on our schedule,” said West Virginia defensive end Will Clarke, a Pittsburgh native. “It has a lot of history to it. Being from Pittsburgh, getting to play
against my hometown team is always great, too.” With only 70 miles of Interstate 79 separating them, no other series in either school’s history has sparked such disdain, cursing and cover-your-kids’eyes T-shirts. There have been some memorable finishes. In 2007, then-No. 2 West Virginia needed a win to secure a spot in the national champion-
ship game, but the Panthers smothered the Mountaineers’ vaunted rushing attack and won 13-9 in Morgantown. In 2004, Tyler Palko’s short touchdown run with 4 minutes left gave Pittsburgh a 16-13 upset over then-No. 21 West Virginia. In 1975, walk-on kicker Bill McKenzie’s field goal in the closing seconds gave West Virginia a 17-14 win over a Pitt team led by Tony Dorsett.

One successful swap By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com
Dallas has been known as a championship-caliber team every year for many seasons now. So when head coach Chris Scharff approached Dave Miller about moving from center-mid to sweeper, the senior would do anything to keep the winning going for the Mountaineers. And Miller did just that.

Commissioner pleased with results from CBA
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Gary Bettman understands the risks of a work stoppage as well as any sports commissioner. He oversaw the 1994-95 NHL lockout that delayed the start of the season and forced a 48-game regular-season schedule. When labor problems lingered in 200405, Bettman shut down the league. Bettman knows the pain that NBA players, owners and fans feel and the financial and career gambles they’re taking as the messy lockout continues. Everyone from the parking attendants and restaurant owners to the peanut vendors and ushers suffers with no games. He just hopes the NHL doesn’t make that sport stoppages list again. The NHL’s collective bargaining agreement is set to expire Sept. 15, 2012, and discussions are scheduled to begin shortly after the NHL All-Star break at the end of January. Donald Fehr, the executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, has said he does not expect acrimonious negotiations. Bettman has declined to discuss specifics of what he expects out of the negotiations — just know that he wants the NHL business
to continue to grow. “We’ve been spending time together,� Bettman said. “I’ve known Don for 30 years. He’s quite smart and capable. I’m sure he’ll do a very workmanlike job in representing his constituents.� Before labor negotiations begin, Bettman hopes to have a better handle on realignment. Vancouver businessman Tom Gaglardi just bought the Dallas Stars, and he’s already lobbied Bettman to get the team out of the Western Conference. The Winnipeg Jets are still stuck in the Southeast Division with Washington, Florida, Carolina and Tampa Bay for this season. Bettman wants the Jets in the Western Conference. “We’re going to have to address it, and that’s something we’ll do with the board (of governors) in December,� Bettman said. Bettman was in Philadelphia this week for the ribbon cutting on a renovated rink that’s part of Flyers chairman Ed Snider’s youth hockey program. Three neglected, open-air rinks in Philadelphia have been transformed as part of a $13 million restoration project into reconstructed, closed rinks worthy of an NHL practice facility.

Fight card set Friday at Lackawanna College By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader
Black Friday means different things to different people. For shoppers, the day after Thanksgiving is about the earlymorning pursuit of sales.

ways been our best night for selling tickets.” Nehme said fight fans also have made clear their preference for the Student Union site, which had a long history as the home of boxing cards in its days as the Scranton Catholic Youth Center. “A lot of our fans say it is the best,” Nehme said. “The GA seats are as good as the floor.” The card will feature an increase in professional fights with

Harbaugh family rivals meet on national stage

NEW YORK — Dayton Moore thought about the changes in baseball’s new labor deal and wondered how they would impact the Kansas City Royals, who spent more than $14 million this year to sign amateur talent, nearly half as much as the team’s $36 million opening-day payroll. “Obviously, we’re not going to have the luxury to do that again,” the general manager said. With new luxury taxes on both the June draft and international signings, baseball owners hope to cut down on big bonuses to high school and college players, as well as prospects from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. But while the money may be reallocated, teams don’t think that will make it harder to rebuild with young talent. “The draft changes, which I’ve heard people argue will hurt clubs in markets like Pittsburgh, I think will do the exact opposite,” Pirates president Frank Coonelly said. “It will make it so that the original purpose of the draft is once again achievable through the draft, and that is the teams finishing with the poorest records should have access to the very best talent coming into the game, and the decisions will be made on talent as opposed to signability.” Agent Scott Boras negotiated a record $15.1 million, four-year contract for Stephen Strasburg after Washington made the pitcher the top pick in the 2009 draft, then got Bryce Harper a $9.9 million, five-year deal after the Nationals took him with the first pick the following year. UCLA pitcher Gerrit Cole, the No. 1 selection this year, got an $8 million signing bonus from Pittsburgh in a minor league contract that Boras negotiated. Next year, the tax will start if a team goes over a specified total of signing bonuses for the first 10 rounds — from $4.5 million to $11.5 million — depending on when a team selects. Clubs are likely to be more concerned about making mistakes. “What this agreement is going to do, it’s going to put more of a premium on very good talent evaluators, on guys that can bring talent to the front at low cost,” former New York Mets general manager Omar Minaya said. “The teams that have the better evaluators are the ones who are going to be able to get production from the pool of dollars that’s available to them.” In Latin America, the labor deal likely will bring an end to huge contracts for Cuban defectors, such as pitcher Aroldis Chapman’s $30.25 million, sixyear contract with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010. And it could impact the decisions of two-sport stars. Notre Dame All-America wide receiver Jeff Samardzija signed a $10 million, five-year deal with the Chicago Cubs in 2007 after they drafted him in the fifth round the previous year. Rather than take a scholarship to play quarterback at Nebraska, Bubba Starling agreed in August to a minor league contract with the Royals, who gave a $7.5 million signing bonus to their first-round pick.

Tony Stewart kisses the Sprint Cup Series championship trophy after winning the title at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla., on Sunday.
Strong year boosts NASCAR From an upset at Daytona to a tense finish, the circuit saw its ratings increase.
By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR opened its season with a fresh-faced Daytona 500 winner and ended it with one of the most thrilling championship race in series history. In between, there was conflict, controversy and, most important, compelling competition — none more so than Sunday’s season finale. Tony Stewart grabbed his third NASCAR championship with a determined drive at Homestead, where he passed an unbelievable 118 cars to win for the fifth time in the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The victory left him tied with Carl Edwards in the final points standings — a NASCAR first — and Stewart got the title on the tie-breaker of season wins. “If you didn’t think this was one of the most exciting Chases to watch from a fan standpoint, you’ve got to go to a doctor immediately and get checked out,” Stewart said. The television ratings backed it up, as NASCAR saw an upswing for the first time in years. ESPN had its largest audience ever for a NASCAR race, as the 4.0 rating was up 18 percent from last year’s finale. More important, ratings for the entire Chase were up 14.8 percent from last year. “Obviously, we think the season has gone very well,” NASCAR chairman Brian France said two days before the race. It was a good season, beginning with Trevor Bayne’s improbable Daytona 500 victory. Nobody gave the 20-year-old a chance in NASCAR’s version of the Super Bowl, not in his first Daytona 500 start and driving for a team that hadn’t been to Victory Lane in a decade. But with a slew of veterans lined up behind him on the final restart — Stewart included — Bayne kept his foot on the gas and drove the famed No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford to a stunning upset. It was a tremendous kickoff to the season and made many people forget about the two-car tandem racing style that had taken over at Daytona. As the months wore on, 18

different drivers won Sprint Cup races, including six firsttime winners. Among them was Regan Smith, driving for underfunded, single-car team Furniture Row Racing, and Marcos Ambrose, who proved Richard Petty Motorsports could still compete after staving off a 2010 collapse. And then there was Brad Keselowski, a brash and outspoken driver who just two years ago was a thorn in most everyone’s side. That seems so long ago now. Keselowski has grown into a media darling and backed it up with a sensational summer run — while driving with a broken ankle — that got him into his first Chase and earned him a surprising fifth place in the final points standings. His emergence helped soften things at Penske Racing, which all year was forced to clean up behind driver Kurt Busch. Busch sparred with his team, the media, and his meltdowns on his in-car radio became legendary. Just this week, Busch’s crew chief formally quit the team and Penske officials took the unusual step of issuing a public apology when a fan posted video to YouTube of Busch being verbally abusive Sunday to an ESPN reporter. Then there’s Busch’s little brother. The last month of the season was rough for Kyle Busch, the top seed at the start of the Chase who ended the year ranked last in the 12-driver standings. He was suspended by NASCAR three weeks ago at Texas for intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr. under
caution in a Truck Series race, and Kyle Busch had to fight hard to keep primary sponsor M&M’s from firing him. Although his job appears to be safe, his future participation in Nationwide and Truck races seems to be in jeopardy. The suspension was one of the many hiccups for Kyle Busch, who unwittingly became the poster boy for NASCAR’s “Boys, have at it” policy. Still grappling with just how far drivers can go in policing themselves, NASCAR officials held up Busch at Texas as the one who finally crossed the line. But, there’s still questions: A week after Busch’s incident, Brian Vickers intentionally wrecked Matt Kenseth at Phoenix — after announcing weeks before that Kenseth had one coming — and NASCAR took no action. NASCAR also didn’t explain publicly why Vickers wasn’t punished, and it was discovered days before the season finale that Keselowski had been secretly fined $25,000 for critical comments he made about fuel injection. At a time when NASCAR claims to be transparent, it was back-to-back examples of the missteps for the series. France has promised to reevaluate the process of not announcing all fines during the offseason. There are other issues to be addressed, as well. At least four major teams are going away next year — one from Roush Fenway Racing, one from Richard Childress Racing and both Red Bull cars — because of sponsorship issues. Kenseth, a former series champion who challenged for the title deep into the Chase, has no funding lined up for next year, and team owner Jack Roush has said he’ll pay for Kenseth’s car out of pocket if he must. Roush already has begun layoffs as David Ragan’s Cup team likely won’t exist next season, and Roush has nowhere to put Bayne or reigning Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. After fielding three Nationwide cars this season, the team likely will be down to 1.5 next year. Kevin Harvick Inc. closed its doors after celebrating the Truck Series owner’s championship.
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers have thrived this season because they are physical, relentless and combative. Just like their coaches. The no-holds barred sibling rivalry between John and Jim Harbaugh moves to the national stage on Thanksgiving night, when they make NFL history by becoming the first brothers to compete on opposite sidelines as head coaches. John Harbaugh is seeking to take the Ravens (7-3) to the playoffs for the fourth time in as many years at the helm. Jim Harbaugh has turned the 49ers (9-1) into Super Bowl contenders in his rookie year as an NFL coach by instilling his unyielding work ethic into a workmanlike offense and the league’s stingiest defense (14.5 points per game). The brothers received much of their football knowledge from their father, Jack, a longtime college coach. Their competitive spirit was honed during endless duels in almost every game imaginable — including a few they invented just so they could butt heads for boasting purposes. “We would play tennis-ball basketball on a coat hanger rim,” big brother John recalled. “We were throwing balls between tree branches, I guess, throwing snowballs against trees. It was whatever we could think of.” Sometimes it got out of hand. “We have never had a fight as

adults, maybe since we were 25 or something,” John said. “But we had some knock-down dragouts when we were younger. I can remember my mom screaming, wailing and crying, ‘You’re brothers! You are not supposed to act like this!’ There are probably a lot of mothers out there that can relate to that.” John, 49, and Jim, 47, aren’t the only pair of brothers who have dueled while growing up. They are, however, poised to become the only ones to take that competition into an NFL game as head coaches. “It goes back to how hard both of them worked to get to where they’re at today,” said Joani Crean, their younger sister. “Nobody said, ‘Oh, you’re Jack Harbaugh’s son, why don’t you come do this job?’ They both started out in their professions at the bottom rung, so to speak. They both worked their way up.” Their players know how important this game is to each brother. “They’re both competitive. We’re competitive as a team,” 49ers running back Frank Gore said. “It should be a great game.”
Dolphins’ recent success shifts attention to present By JAIME ARON AP Pro Football Writer
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Cowboys and Dolphins playing on Thanksgiving will forever conjure memories of the 1993 game. Dallas defensive lineman Leon Lett adding to his blunderful reputation by sliding across ice and snow to bring alive a dead ball, setting up Miami for the winning kick as time ran out. With Lett now part of the Cowboys’ coaching staff, and Snickers pushing a lighthearted “Forgive Leon” campaign, that tale seemed likely to be the most exciting storyline for another holiday meeting between the clubs. Nope. Nostalgia has been shoved to the sideline because the game itself is shaping up as a good one. Both teams go in having won three straight. For the Cowboys, it’s meant a rise into a tie for first place in the NFC East, and a chance to take over sole possession at least until the Giants play Monday night. For the Dolphins, it’s flushed away the dread from an 0-7 start and replaced it with the invaluable commodity of hope. Matt Moore has shown he could be the club’s long-sought solution at quarterback and the defense has gone 12 straight quarters without giving up a touchdown. Dallas and Miami have played four times since Lett’s unthinkable gaffe, which came 10 months after an equally stun-

ning, though nowhere near as punitive, mistake in the Super Bowl. The Dolphins and Cowboys have even met on Thanksgiving twice since then. Yet this is their first meeting since the Dolphins have turned into Cowboys East, with their general manager, coach, quarterback and five more players having been with Dallas first, most going directly from one club to the other. “We know there are a lot of guys who have Dallas ties — ‘the Cowboy club,”’ Miami safety Yeremiah Bell said. “But they’re Dolphins now. We want to make sure we go there and give them a good showing on Thanksgiving.” Only one team will leave Cowboys Stadium on Sunday with a four-game winning streak. “When I was in Dallas, I thought the three games in (12) days can change your fortunes fast one way or the other,” said Miami coach Tony Sparano, who was with the Cowboys from 2003-07. “We talk to the team about opportunity — and we have a really good opportunity.”

urope’s spreading debt woes and slower manufacturing in China pushed stocks sharply lower Wednesday. Traders worldwide were spooked by the poor results at an auction of German debt, which drew too few bids to sell all of the 10-year notes being offered. Companies that make raw materials were hurt by signals of slower growth in China. Relatively few shares were traded as many U.S. market participants got an early start on the Thanksgiving holiday. U.S. markets will be closed today and will have shortened hours on Friday.

WASHINGTON — At the start of the critical holiday shopping season, the economy received a dose of mixed news Wednesday. Consumers barely increased their spending in October, and businesses pulled back on investment in long-lasting manufactured goods. Still, Americans’ pay rose by the most in seven months, a sign they may spend more. Some economists were discouraged by the reports, especially after a separate report earlier this month showed Americans spent more on retail goods in October for the fifth straight month. Paul Dales, a senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics, expects just 2.5 percent growth instead of 3 percent in the October-December quarter. Consumer spending increased 0.1 percent last month, the Commerce Department said. It was the poorest gain in four months. Spending on durable goods such as autos showed a solid increase. But spending on nondurable goods, such as food and clothing, fell. “Today’s report was a good reminder that much of what consumers spend their money on is not purchased at the shopping mall, but is rather spent on their homes and on their health,” said James Marple, senior economist at TD Economics. “With services spending making up 65 percent of total consumption expenditures, the poor performance here more than made up for the continued gains in spending on goods.” The report also showed that Americans earned more in October. Income increased 0.4 percent last month, the best showing since March. Private wages and salaries drove the gain.
Chapter 11 filing for PMI Private mortgage insurer PMI Group Inc. is seeking shelter from creditors under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy code after the seizure of two of its subsidiaries by regulators in Arizona. PMI says it intends to use bankruptcy protection to assess its options in light of the action taken by the Arizona Department of Insurance. Last month, insurance regulators in Arizona seized PMI’s main subsidiaries in the state because the companies did not have enough money on hand to meet state requirements.

Vegas gambles on air travel
Groupon shares tumble
By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press
Groupon Inc.’s stock fell below its initial public offering price for the first time as investors reassess the challenges facing the still-unprofitable online deals company in a shaky economy. The shares plunged $3.11, or 145.5 percent, to $16.96 Wednesday, well below Groupon’s IPO price of $20, which was set less than three weeks ago. Groupon has shed one-third of its market value since the end of last week to wipe out nearly $6 billion in shareholder wealth.
LAS VEGAS — Shifting focus in the face of declining domestic visitors, Las Vegas tourism officials are betting that a new air terminal will lure some travelers to use Las Vegas as a regular stopover en route to Asia or other foreign places. Some might never leave McCarran International Airport, while others might decide to make casinos happy by hopping in a cab and spending a few hours gambling. Either way is fine with the airport — it just needs enough people trav-
Nokia Siemens cutting jobs Wireless equipment maker Nokia Siemens Networks will slash 17,000 jobs — almost one-quarter of its work force — in a move to cut annual costs by 1 billion euros ($1.35 billion) by 2013, company officials said Wednesday.

Even in tough economic times this seems to be true, and proves the point that, relatively speaking, America is still a rich, prosperous country.

At the same time, airport and tourism officials are pitching the new terminal to airlines based outside the United States as a destination for direct service, pointing to regular service from England, South Korea and Mexico as successes that justify more international flights here without stops elsewhere first.

The major improvement in our weather evident this morning is a sign of more good weather to come this week. With a large zone of high pressure centered close by to our south, the winds will back toward the west later today then toward the south tomorrow. This will allow for mild afternoon temperatures and dry weather from now through Saturday night. Our next chance for rain will come late in the day on Sunday or at night. I also see a chance for rain Monday morning for deer hunting. On Thanksgiving Day last year, we had snow, sleet and rain. I suppose this year we can be especially thankful.

ACKENSACK, N.J. — Alicia Graham has her entire day planned to the minute from the time her children get on the school bus to when she gets to work to what time she gets to class and how much time she has to cook and clean before getting her homework done for the next day. “It’s a challenge. I find myself overwhelmed sometimes by everything I have to do,” said Graham, 38, of Englewood, N.J., a single mother working toward her college degree. For her, time is a commodity that is extremely hard to come by. And according to a new study, as a college student she is not alone. According to the findings of the non-profit organization Complete College America, 75 percent of students today are college commuters, juggling families, jobs and school. And the major factor preventing many from completing their degrees is time — or to be more exact, the lack of it. These competing demands are forcing many of today’s students to stay in school longer, which, according to the study, can severely hurt their chances of actually completing their degrees. “As the clock runs, students’ lives fill up with jobs, relationships, marriages, children and mortgages. The list goes on and on,” said the founder of Complete College America, Stan Jones. And with the majority of students taking at least six years to complete a bachelor’s degree, Jones said it’s time that colleges rethink the way they structure their programs. “Colleges need to realize that the way that they are doing things isn’t working,” he said. His organization’s report, “Time is the Enemy,” says the key to increasing graduation rates is creating programs that help students make better use of their time rather than let them “waste it” on excess credits, remedial classes and attending part time. Many colleges and universities
acknowledge the need to help students complete their degrees in a timely fashion. Bergen Community College is attacking the problem by getting students on the right track early. With the aid of a $2.9 million Title 5 grant, the college has implemented an institution-wide program — 1-2-3 Connect — to improve academic success and student retention. The program consists of a summer orientation and two not-forcredit courses that focus on giving first-year students the advice and mentoring they need to succeed. “Research and data shows that students who see success in their first three semesters tend to continue that success,” said Jose Adames, president of Bergen, N.J., Community College. While some students do not succeed because they do not have time to complete their assignments, other students can complete their work faster when given the opportunity to work at their own pace. This is exactly the idea behind the new math computer lab on campus that allows students to take a virtual course at their own pace rather than over a 15-week semester, often completing the work in as little as six weeks. “It’s amazing what students can do when they are given the flexibility to work at their own speed,” Adames said. Passaic County Community College, meanwhile, is working with the national non-profit Achieving the Dream to figure out what factors interfere with student achievement. Steven Rose, president of the college, said the school will consider improvements in course offerings, scheduling, remediation and ad-

visement. “There is no magic bullet or one-size-fits-all solution to the issues that prevent some of our students from completing, but it all starts with creating new pathways and strategies,” Rose said. At Montclair State University, a new office was created especially to address issues that prevent students from completing their degrees. Headed by Tara Zulo, the new Academic Success and Retention Program aims to change the way students think about completing their degrees. “We want to change ‘I wish there was something I could do’ into ’Let’s see what we can do,’” said Zulo, whose department is focusing on helping Montclair seniors and juniors complete their course work. “Sometimes all they need is one or two courses to graduate, and they don’t even know it,” she said. Some community-college rep-
resentatives think it is a mistake for students to transfer to fouryear institutions before completing their associate’s degrees. “If they graduate, then no matter what happens they always have that associate’s degree to fall back on,” said Stefani Gjorgievska, student president of the Bergen Community College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society for students at twoyear colleges. This year, Gjorgievska and her fellow Phi Theta Kappa members have chosen to spread this message through a yearlong project called Commit to Complete. The message behind their cause may be simple, but it has the potential to make a world of difference for students who are willing to take advantage of the opportunities of an associate’s degree. “It doesn’t make sense not to graduate — all it can do is help you as you continue your education or start your career,” said
Gjorgievska, who urges students to consider the time that is wasted when four-year colleges refuse to accept community-college credits. While colleges often offer students flexible options such as taking courses online and on Saturdays and during the winter and summer, students often have inflexible jobs that interfere with writing papers and finishing assignments. At Bergen Community College, Alicia R. Graham found a way to inject more time into her day by working at her campus’ admissions office. “Working at school was one of the best decisions I made. Where else is your manager going to give you time to study or catch up on work?” said Graham, who hopes that in the long run choosing education over money will pay big dividends. Full-time jobs that prevent students from attending school full
time could cost students more because of the loss of financial aid, some experts warn. That is what Dina Razafy, 23, of Lodi, N.J., found during his first two years of taking part-time classes at Bergen Community College. “Part time was tough — without financial aid, I had to work full-time to keep up with paying for school,” said Razafy, who quit his job as a cashier and now works as a valet on nights and weekends to give himself more time for school. It’s that kind of decision that Alicia R. Graham wished she had made years ago before she left school with what turned out to be 87 non-transferable credits. “Trust me, if you’re willing to do it — do it when you are young,” said Graham, who hopes that a degree in business management will lead to her dream of owning her own business one day.

so suffer from math learning disability. Consider it the mathematical partner to dyslexia, which impairs reading ability. But while researchers have explored causes of dyslexia and developed strategies for compensating, the study of dyscalculia lags about 30 years behind. As a result, many people remain stymied by math. And math dysfunction is socially accepted. “I hate math so much,” said Juan Mendoza, 21. He has taken
intermediate algebra six times at San Jose City College but has always dropped out part way. Finally, a teacher explained formulas in an understandable way. Just like he’s overcome his dyslexia, he said, maybe researchers will find a way to better teach differently wired brains. The ability to estimate is an oft-tapped skill that, for example, helps waiting shoppers determine which checkout line is likely to move faster at the grocery store. And understanding the cause of the disability could lead to identifying children at risk of failing math and developing ways to help them. “Children are being considered

that children with dyscalculia don’t activate the parietal cortex, which is critical for number processing, in the same way that other children do. Researchers still don’t know why, nor whether inactivity in that lobe of the brain causes the math problem or is a symptom of the disability. “It’s a severely underinvestigated disorder,” Ansari said. But what happens as children fail in arithmetic, he said, is that some develop math anxiety and then want to shun the subject. A survey released last month seems to bear that out. The forprofit Sylvan Learning reports that about one-third of 400 children surveyed would sacrifice a month of video gaming or going on Facebook if they could never have to do algebra again, and 71 percent of 534 parents surveyed think helping children with algebra is harder than teaching them to drive.

skills. But that doesn’t apply to everyone who “doesn’t get” math; the study found that children in the bottom 11 percent to 25 percent had no problem with estimation. What dyscalculic children lack is “number sense,” something that most people take for granted but is a construct that can’t always be taught. “You can’t just tell somebody that 8 is more than 4,” Mazzocco said. “It’s not like memorizing states and their capitals.” Just like dyslexics, children suffering from dyscalculia may be intelligent, she said. “They are processing information differently.” More research could lead to ways to help people who struggle with math, said Daniel Ansari, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Western Ontario. Ansari’s studies have shown

Can’t calculate a tip or even balance your checkbook? Take heart; maybe you can blame your brain — specifically, the parietal cortex in the top back part of the head. And it could be a problem that has roots not in a failed arithmetic or “new math” lesson, but even earlier. Recent findings indicate that how well 3-year-olds estimate quantities predicts their math ability in elementary school. Another study funded by the National Institutes of Health showed that the innate capacity to estimate is impaired in children who have a math learning disability. The findings are so new that there’s no widely accepted way to diagnose what’s known as dyscalculia (dis-cal-KOO-lia), nor any set strategies for coping with it — even though 5 percent to 8 percent of the population is thought
lazy or unmotivated, or not to have potential, when in fact they have a disability in processing numbers,” said Michele M.M. Mazzocco, the lead researcher on the studies.” We need to learn how this can be overcome.” Mazzocco and colleagues at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore began tracking 249 kindergartners in public schools in 1997. She found large differences in children’s estimation skills. Even as ninth-graders, some who viewed a set of colored dots flashed briefly on a screen found it difficult to consistently estimate the number, or to distinguish quantities, such as 20 dots from 15 dots. To tell how many dots we see or to compare quantities, the brain taps into its “approximate number system.” Mazzocco found that students in the bottom 10 percent of math achievement lagged in those estimation

Everyday heroes perform the small deeds that deserve big thanks Dear Abby: A while back you asked your readers to name their heroes. May I contribute? My heroes are nameless, often faceless and in most cases unsung. They will never have 15 minutes of fame. Their deeds won’t be recorded in history books, but their kindness inspires and their good deeds will forever affect the lives of others — though some may not realize it. My heroes are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, foster parents, teachers and playground monitors who teach others to have values and common sense, and to be ethical in their treatment of others.
DEAR ABBY ADVICE My heroes are the guys on the garbage truck who take a few extra seconds to pick up the items that didn’t make it into the truck and make sure your receptacle is upright and undamaged before moving on to the next house; grownups who hold children’s hands in parking lots to keep them safe; teachers who stay after school to help a student struggling with homework, a troubled home life or homelessness. My heroes are strangers on streets and in buildings who take a moment
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
to ask if they can help you because of the uncertain expression on your face; every shelter worker who has ever cried when a homeless or abused creature was euthanized; my dear father, whose strong hands, often bruised and bloodied, made a living for his family, who gently held his frightened little girl and who often shared more than he could afford with others less fortunate than he. — Julie in Scott City, Mo. Dear Julie: Thank you for taking the time to describe your many heroes. On this day of all days, let us all give thanks for those individuals who have made — and continue to make — a positive difference in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! — Love, Abby
CRYPTOQUOTE
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Louis,” is retired. I’m in school studying law, which means a tremendous amount of homework. At night when I should be studying, Louis gets upset if I don’t knock off by 9 or 9:30. He also gets upset if I start before 9 in the morning. He has never asked me what I need from him to help me accomplish what I have to do. He also never asks what I’m doing in my classes without turning around and accusing me of doing the professor’s job. Abby, this man insists he has never been so much in love, and that’s why he wants to spend so much time with me. I think he should show his love by supporting me in challenging times. Your opinion? — Rose in Washington
Dear Rose: Your boyfriend is selfcentered. He’s clearly less interested in your interests than in his own. Law school is challenging, even when a student doesn’t have someone trying to sabotage her efforts — which Louis appears to be doing morning and night. You have an important decision to make about your future, because your law degree is likely to last longer than your relationship with Louis, and that’s what I think you should put first. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel driven to spread your love of humanity to everyone. Your conversation hovers around the most interesting and uplifting news you’ve heard. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will know that you’re an integral part of what’s happening in your group. You’ll get the sense that you’re leading the action. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll exercise your creative muscles and express yourself with flair. There will be more options available to you than you could possibly sample in one day, though you’ll certainly try! CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be among a mix of loved ones and strangers, and you’ll feel that in many ways the world is one big community. People around you will be thankful that you were part of their day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Counteract the day’s heightened level of excitement with moments of deep breathing, fresh air and solitude. Ten minutes to yourself will ensure that your mood is consistently wonderful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll take extra measures to make everyone comfortable. In an effort to see things the way your loved ones see things, you’ll put yourself in different positions, figuratively and, wherever possible, actually. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be inclined to hustle all day if you let yourself, but don’t. Your enjoyment will be amplified if you relax into moments of fun instead of constantly noticing all the work to be done.

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll hear kind words of support, and you’ll mentally speak to yourself in an encouraging way. All the positive reinforcement will help you make this day truly memorable for you and yours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It has something to do with the way you dig into life with a sense of whimsy and fun. By the end of the day, you’ll be even more popular. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You approach the day with some solemnity, and there’s an atmosphere of importance around you. The respect you give to loved ones comes like a fast boomerang back to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You understand what it means to have an attitude of gratitude, and you’ll teach those who are younger how to show and feel appreciation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll ignore the little glitches and change the plan as often as necessary. You’ll let nothing keep you from your goal of creating a shared experience with the people you love. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 24). Relationships will be healed this year. You’ll spend quality time with those who are most dear to you. You’ll buzz with electric insight into matters of business in January. You will be wiling to take greater risks because you have a prescient sense that the return will be high. Cancer and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 44, 31 and 30.
