President will visit Scranton

Obama will push extension of Social Security payroll tax cut. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – President Obama will speak at Scranton High School on Wednesday to make a pitch for Congress to extend a Social Security payroll tax cut, the White House said Sunday. Obama’s visit to Scranton was announced last week, but the White

House released more details Sunday about an event that is open to the media and ticketed members of the public. The event begins at 2:45 p.m. A limitObama ed number of tickets will be available to the general public and will be distributed today at 4 p.m. at the main entrance of Scranton High School, the White House said.

Obama’s trip to Scranton is part of a push by the White House and Democrats to extend the one-year payroll tax cut, which is due to expire at the end of the year. The tax cut saves a family that earns $50,000 a year about $1,000. Obama wants to increase the tax cut more in 2012 to save an average family about $1,500. Obama’s focus in Scranton will be to “continue to push Congress to act to extend and expand the payroll tax See OBAMA, Page 14A

The first big test for Cindy Garren, executive director of the Alice C. Wiltsie Performing Arts Center in Hazleton, came Sunday night when the rock group Chicago performed.

Setting the stage By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – For their first big concert promotion Cindy Garren and Jim Della Croce went back to school. They spent Sunday making sure everything was in order at the Hazleton Elementary/Middle School for the 8:10 p.m. show by the rock group Chicago, known for such hits as “Saturday in the Park” and “25 or 6 to 4.” Nearly 1,000 people were expected to attend the concert in the Alice C. Wiltsie Performing Arts Center; the renovated 1928

auditorium debuting at the region’s newest performance space. Della Croce, who grew up in Freeland and graduated from MMI Prep in 1975 and King’s College in 1979, wanted to give them a show to remember. “This is a labor of love for me,” said Della Croce of Pathfinder Management Inc. The Wiltsie fits into his overall goal to bring the entertainment industry “back to the Poconos,” he said. “I’m happy to be back and helping out.”

Della Croce has been in the entertainment industry for more than 25 years as a publicist and talent manager representing The Beach Boys, The Band, Badfinger, Grand Funk Railroad, Merle Haggard and Martina McBride among others. The board of directors of the Wiltsie sought him out long before the nearly $2 million project was completed this year. They also wanted Chicago to be the first marquee act on stage. It took some persistence, luck and negoSee WILTSIE, Page 14A

Season sees robbery run-up

‘Tis the season to be thankful and merry, but it’s also a time to be vigilant against thieves and robbers. While crime statistics show a steady trend of robberies and burglaries through the year, law enforcement officials see those offenses spike during the holiday season. “We usually see more robberies and burglaries in the summer with a situation where the weather is nice and more people are out and there are more opportunities to commit those crimes,” Hanover Township Police Chief Al Walker said. “We see a drop-off of those crimes in the fall, but now with the holiday season, those crimes See ROBBERIES, Page 14A

Medicare drug gap shrinking WASHINGTON — Medicare’s prescription coverage gap is getting noticeably smaller and easier to manage this year for millions of older and disabled people with high drug costs. The “doughnut hole,” an anxiety-inducing catch in an otherwise popular benefit, will shrink about 40 percent for those unlucky enough to land in it, according to new Medicare figures provided in response to a request from The Associated Press. The average beneficiary who falls into the coverage gap would have spent $1,504 this year on prescriptions. But thanks to discounts and other provisions in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law, that cost fell to $901, according to Medicare’s Office of the Actuary, which handles economic estimates. A 50 percent discount that the law secured from pharmaceutical companies on brand-name drugs yielded an average savings of $581. Medicare also picked up more of the cost of generic drugs, saving an additional $22. The estimates are averages, so some Medicare recipients may do worse and others better. Also, it’s still unclear if the discounts will start to overcome seniors’ deep unease about the law. Concern over cutting Medicare to expand coverage for the uninsured helped push older voters

Joseph Wilde November 25, 2011 Wilde, 66, a resident of J oseph Mountain Top, passed away at

his home on November 25, 2011. Joe was born on March 11, 1945, in Wilkes-Barre, a son of the late Joseph and Charlotte Davis Wilde. Joe graduated from Coughlin High School and served six years in the National Guard with a rank of First Sergeant. He was employed by the Williams Bus Line, initially as a school bus driver and subsequently as a manager/dispatcher. Joe was a 24/7 employee, who took great pride in performing his job responsibly. If Joe didn’t personally drive you or your children to a Wilkes-Barre Area School, he worked tirelessly to make sure the transportation was seamless and safe. Joe was an avid fisherman, with more fish tales than trophies. His true passion, though, was being a terrific father for his two children, Joseph (JJ), at home, and Sarah, Scranton. He enjoyed seeing them grow, but as most parents, agonized about cutting them loose. Nothing made him more proud than their graduations from Wilkes University and JJ’s advanced degree from Penn State. Above all, Joe was a caring Dad, always there and compulsively eager to do whatever he could for JJ and Sarah. More Obituaries, Page 8A

Joe is also survived by his wife, Jean, to whom he was married for 37 years, and by several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. If only he could, Joe would say his extended family included Dave Williams, his employer, and many lifelong friends with whom he worked at the bus line. In addition to his parents, Joe was also preceded in death by his sister, Kathleen Wilde Albert, and by his brother, James Wilde, with whom he shared a truly special friendship. Joe loved to talk, all the time, even with complete strangers. He carried around a pocket full of jokes, which he embellished to the point that punch lines were often lost of forgotten. That never seemed to bother Joe, because he simply enjoyed being with people and making them smile. He was a selfless volunteer, who never expected anything in return. Joe would want to be remembered in life, not in his sad passing. Honoring his preference, private serves were conducted for the immediate family.

on a charge of indirect criminal contempt for violating the nocontact term of the PFA. Police also said he showed signs of intoxication and they arrested him on evidence of drunken driving. He was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Carmody of West Pittston and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. Yuknavich was later released after posting $10,000 bail. His PFA violation hearing is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Dec. 6 in

Luzerne County Court. Police said driving under the influence charges are pending the results of a blood alcohol test. Yuknavich has preliminary hearing at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday before District Judge Diana Malast of Plains Township on the older set of charges of simple assault, theft, terroristic threats and harassment. Police said Yuknavich approached the car Pavlick and Kenneth Scialpi of Hughestown were sitting in the morning of Nov. 6.

DETAILS LOTTERY

According to police: Yuknavich punched Scialpi in the face, leaving bruises, cuts and chipping two teeth. He also dragged Pavlick from the car, stole her iPhone and threatened put bullets in her head and Scialpi’s. Yuknavich was committed to the county prison after his arrest on the charges and released after posting a percentage of his $10,000 bail. He could not be reached for comment.

Fight continues for aging rebel

Lawyer fought property rights battles with Idaho U.S. Rep. Helen Chenoweth. By JOHN MILLER Associated Press

NAMPA, Idaho — A 75-yearold lawyer who fought private property rights battles alongside Idaho U.S. Rep. Helen Chenoweth and her Nevada rancher husband, Wayne Hage, in the 1990s is still cultivating the Sagebrush Rebellion’s roots. Fred Kelly Grant has been slowed by age and heart surgery, but he’s in demand from counties — and tea partyers who attend his $150-per-person seminars — as conservative elements in the West’s continue to clash with the federal government. California’s Siskiyou County is paying Grant $10,000 to help block removal of four Klamath River dams. Montana and Idaho counties have enlisted him to trim hated wolf populations and thwart U.S. Forest Service road closures. What Grant preaches is “coordination,” the theory that federal agencies by law must deal with local governments when revising their public land travel plans or protecting endangered species. Grant insists he’s not reviving the discredited “county supremacy” movement, in which a Nevada county once threatened federal employees with prosecution. “This is not nullification,” simply ignoring federal mandates, he told The Associated Press. “Coordination is working within the system to try and make the system work.” Hage, who died in 2006, epitomized the Sagebrush Rebellion by battling the federal government over water rights. Chenoweth, killed the same year in a car crash, worried that federal agents would arrive aboard black helicopters to enforce the Endangered Species Act. Grant, a former federal prosecu-

tor in Maryland who once helped guide Stewards of the Range, the Hage family’s property-rights nonprofit, started his own foundation last year. He, a son and daughterin-law now give seminars, often to tea party groups, on how locals can demand coordination when Washington, D.C. isn’t listening. Grant insists he’s no radical, but he’s not above fanning the flames. In 2009, he told a crowd angry about road closures in California’s Shasta-Trinity National Forest that he once dismissed those who claimed the United Nations and U.S. government sought to eliminate people from public land as crackpots who saw “a communist behind every sagebrush.” “I thought it was a conspiratorial theory,” Grant said, in video footage. “It’s not.” Some environmentalists are dubious of Grant’s “coordination,” saying it’s so much fodder on the conservative rubber-chicken circuit for a restive Western audience long unhappy with federal management of vast tracts of public land.

“He’s saying a county should adopt its own plan, and the federal government is obliged to make sure its plan is consistent with the local plan,” said Jon Marvel, Western Watersheds Project director in Hailey, Idaho. “It’s nullification by another name.” Grant insists federal courts side with him. In 2001, a U.S. District Court judge in Utah ordered the Bureau of Land Management to remove wild horses resettled in Uintah County, in part because the agency didn’t coordinate with local officials. “Coordination does not mean the county gets its way,” Grant said. “What it means is, the federal government should be discussing policy with the county, and considering alternatives.” He cites Idaho’s Owyhee County, where he says coordination between locals and the BLM beginning in 1990 resolved grazing disputes — and led to ranchers’ support for 500,000 acres of federally protected wilderness created here in 2009.

Latest ‘Twilight’ flick keeps shining It took in $42 million domestically over the three-day weekend. By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — The latest “Twilight” movie has plenty of daylight left with a secondstraight win at the weekend box office. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1” took in $42 million domestically over the threeday weekend and $62.3 million in the five-day Thanksgiving boom time from Wednesday to Sunday. That raised its domestic total to $221.3 million, while the Summit Entertainment release added $71.5 million overseas to lift the international total to $268 million and the worldwide take to $489.3 million. Debuting at No. 2 was Disney’s family flick “The Muppets,” with $29.5 million for the three-day weekend and $42 million over the five-day holiday haul. Three other family films rounded out the top-five: the Warner Bros. sequel “Happy Feet Two” at No. 3 with a three-day total of $13.4 million and $18.4 million for five days; Sony’s animated comedy “Arthur Christmas” at No. 4 with $12.7 million for three days and $17 million for five days;

and Paramount’s epic adventure “Hugo” at No. 5 with $11.4 million for three days and $15.4 million for five days. Between “Breaking Dawn” and the blitz of family films, analysts thought Hollywood had a shot at record revenue over Thanksgiving, one of the year’s busiest weekends at movie theaters. But viewers did not come in anywhere close to record numbers. “I was pretty surprised by this. I just thought this was the perfect combination of films in the marketplace,” said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “Maybe there was just too much out there.” Domestic revenue totaled $234 million from Wednesday to Sunday, well below the $273 million record set two years ago, when “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” led the Thanksgiving weekend, according to Hollywood.com. Receipts also fell short of last Thanksgiving’s $264 million haul, when “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” finished on top. Studio executives concede it’s growing harder to lure fans into theaters given all the portable games, devices and other electronics people have to fill up their entertainment time. A so-so Thanksgiving on a weekend with such a good variety of movies could be a sign that Hollywood

simply has to live with diminished expectations. “I don’t know that choice is ever a bad thing, and in terms of a weekend for families, this is one of the best,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, which brought “The Muppets” back to the big-screen after a 12year absence. “The challenge is breaking through and being relevant and meaningful and fresh enough to take the more finicky customers and have them choose you.” Disney reported that “The Muppets” drew a good mix of families and couples without children who fondly remember Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the gang on “The Muppet Show.” The film stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams as fans helping to reunite the Muppets for a telethon to save their decaying studio. “Breaking Dawn” was holding close to the pattern set by “New Moon” two years ago, though domestic revenues were off slightly. Factoring in higher ticket prices since “New Moon,” the audience shrank even further for “Breaking Dawn.” “I think the audience has changed a bit. Everybody’s grown a little older, and I guess we lose a few of our patrons to age,” said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit.

LOCAL 3 row officials interested in spots Home rule will eliminate elected posts, but letters of interest submitted. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Sheriff John Gilligan, Coroner John Corcoran and Clerk of Courts Will Conyngham are among the five row officers eliminated by home rule government on Jan. 2, but they hope the new administration wants them to stay put, at least temporarily. The home rule transition committee sought resumes from people interested in filling interim jobs until the permanent manager is selected and able to make

staffing assessments and recommendations. Transition members said someone must be designated to temporarily run offices staffed by eliminated row officers on Jan. 2, and all three outgoing row officers say they’ve submitted letters of interest. The county manager, interim or permanent, will also have the option to designate deputies or other existing employees to be in charge of the impacted row offices. Recorder of Deeds James “Red” O’Brien, who will be eliminated Jan. 2, said he’d be willing to help with the transition and is applying for the new judicial services and records division head position created by home rule.

This manager will supervise the duties currently performed by the clerk of courts, prothonotary, recorder of deeds, register of wills and sheriff. Treasurer Michael Morreale, the fifth row officer to be eliminated Jan. 2, was not available for comment due to medical appointments. Morreale, 75, has served as county treasurer for 32 years and is not expected to apply for any interim or permanent county positions. The four row officers say their final days in office are strange because nobody knows what changes to expect under the new government. The transition committee has just started rankSee OFFICIALS, Page 14A

WILKES-BARRE -- Those looking for an inexpensive and wholesome family activity this holiday season need look no further than the Ice Rink at Coal Street Park. The recreational complex is part of a public/private venture between the city of Wilkes-Barre and the WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguins ice hockey organization. The facility hosts a number of icebound activities including a public skate program, team ice hockey and figure skating training. “We offer a number of community-based programs to encourage involvement at the rink,” said facility manager Jason Jarecki. “We have a ‘Learn to Skate’ program and a ‘Learn to Play Hockey’ program designed to get young people (6 to 9 years old) interested in skating.” Jarecki said the ice rink currently plays host to 19 youth hockey teams and 10 adult teams as well as the popular Anthracite Curling Club, which conducts its year-round activities and competitions at

off their talents to an appreciative crowd of family and friends. “We are part of the U.S. Figure Skating Club system,” said Diamond City organizer and trainer Valerie Palencar. “This is where children come to learn how to skate and participate in national competitions with a goal of competing in the Olympics.” Palencar was the longtime trainer to Clarks Summit native Adam Rippon, the reigning men’s Junior Figure Skating Champion. Palencar said the local club encourages adults to come out and learn to skate, and she detailed the many health benefits of participating in a recreational skating regimen. Rink officials said the facility is open throughout the year and that additional public skating sessions will be added to meet increased demand during the holiday season. “My biggest problem is I don’t have enough capacity to meet the growing demand. We’re overbooked,” said Jarecki. “But, I guess that’s a good problem to have.”

WASHINGTON – A report released this month helps make the case for a proposal by Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township, to give health care providers who use money-saving electronic records more legal protections, proponents say. But a critic of Marino’s bill says granting legal immunity for reporting Marino medical errors caused by faulty electronic records deprives patients of the right to seek compensation and takes away incentives for records vendors and the health care community to make needed improvements. When Marino introduced his Safeguarding Access for Every Medicare Patient Act in October, he said it would create a system for reporting potential errors in electronic records without the admission of the mistake being used as a legal admission of wrongdoing. The bill also applies to Medicaid patients, and since so many providers accept patients from the federal health care programs for seniors and the poor, Marino’s bill effectively would apply to most of the medical community. “Many providers are reluctant to use electronic records because they believe the practice will make them more vulnerable to unnecessary legal action,” said Marino, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, when he unveiled the bill in late October. The report released Nov. 8 by the nonprofit Institute of Medicine, which was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health See MARINO, Page 14A

Industrial plant, gas surge bring hope to Youngstown, Ohio It will mean 350 new jobs in a city that is struggling with 11 percent unemployment.

By THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press

the largest since 2008. The company, with operations across the U.S, was helped by demand for freight cars used in the shale industry. One of the biggest manufacturing projects on the shale developing horizon is the plan for a multibillion-dollar Shell Oil Co. petrochemical refinery. Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia are competing for the plant, which would convert natural gas liquids to other chemicals that go into everything from plastics to tires to antifreeze. “What they’re talking about at this stage is, you’re looking at the next gold rush,” said Martin Abraham, science-engineering dean at Youngstown State University. One study backed by the oil and gas industry predicted developing oil and gas reserves could create or support more than 200,000 jobs in the next four years just in Ohio, where Hess Corp. recently made a series of mineral-rights purchases worth $750 million. But the project is not without controversy. Susan Helper, a Case Western Reserve University professor who studies manufacturing issues, said such job projections

are suspect, in part because the estimate of natural gas reserves may be inflated. She said the industry and politicians have a self-interest in rosy projections. “It’s a way of saying to environmentalists and others that say slow down, ‘Gee, you’re preventing all this potential great job growth here’,” she said. V&M Star, with production locations in Youngstown, Houston and Muskogee, Okla., will ramp up production over the next year, creating seamless pipe to bring gas or oil to the surface. “Not only do we have an experienced workforce but ... our market is in our backyard,” said Joel Mastervich, the company’s president and chief operating officer. Rick Mazza, 52, who has experienced the industrial decline firsthand, likes the initial boost that V&M Star has generated for his commercial-residential heating and cooling business. He’s hired two more workers in the past year. “It’s going to be a good spillover for us, especially with this depression or recession, whatever we’re in now,” said Mazza, who was laid off repeatedly in the 1980s at the General Motors Corp. plant in nearby Lordstown.

The Youngstown-Warren region has lost more than 28,000 jobs in the past 10 years, twothirds of them in manufacturing. At a family-owned tavern in Youngstown managed by Larry

Maffitt, the talk is focused on a brighter jobs future. Steel workers coming off shifts around the clock had the place packed three deep years ago, but there were just 10 people on a re-

cent day. With the new plant across the road, the community’s morale “is all positive,” said Maffitt, 59. “Every day we’ve got something to look forward to.”

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — A rare sight in hard-luck Youngstown, a new industrial plant, has generated hope that a surge in oil and natural gas drilling across a multistate region might jumpstart a revival in Rust Belt manufacturing. The $650 million V&M Star mill, located along a desolate stretch that once was a showcase for American industry, is to open by year’s end and produce seamless steel pipes for tapping shale formations. It will mean 350 new jobs in Youngstown, a northeast Ohio city that is struggling with 11 percent unemployment. V&M Star’s parent company Vallourec, based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, hopes increased interest in shale formations will produce a ready-made market. Vast stores of natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations have set off a rush to grab leases and secure permits to drill. Industry estimates show the Marcellus boom could offer robust job numbers for 50 years. Similar hopes are alive in Lorain, Ohio, where U.S. Steel will add 100 jobs with a $100 million upgrade of a plant that makes seamless pipe for the construction, oil-gas exploration and production industries. Companies are trying to spin off more work from shale development, and every bit will be a plus, according to Youngstown Mayor Charles Sammarone. “I just know this: the money they will spend will help the economy,” he said. Those benefiting from shale AP FILE PHOTO development include American Railcar Industries of St. Charles, Larry Maffitt, owner of Kuzman’s Bar, stands inside the bar Mo., with an order backlog that is across the street from the mill that is being built in Girard, Ohio.

Afghans say Pakistani fire led to attack

The account challenges Pakistan’s claim that the strikes were unprovoked.

WASHINGTON

ISLAMABAD — Afghanistan officials claimed Sunday that Afghan and NATO forces were retaliating for gunfire from two Pakistani army bases when they called in airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, adding a layer of complexity to episode that has further strained Pakistan’s ties with the United States. The account challenged Pakistan’s claim that the strikes were unprovoked. The attack Saturday near the Afghan-Pakistani border aroused popular anger in Pakistan and added tension to the

U.S.-Pakistani relationship, which has been under pressure since the secret U.S. raid inside Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden in May. Pakistan has closed its western border to trucks delivering supplies to coalition troops in Afghanistan, demanded that the U.S. abandon an air base inside Pakistan and said it will review its cooperation with the U.S. and NATO. A complete breakdown in the relationship between the United States and Pakistan is considered unlikely. Pakistan relies on billions of dollars in U.S. aid, and the U.S. needs Pakistan to push Afghan insurgents to participate in peace talks. Afghanistan’s assertions about the attack muddy the efforts to determine what happened. The Afghan officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitiv-

ni army posts along the border that were later hit in the airstrikes. NATO has said it is investigating, but it has not questioned the Pakistani claim that 24 soldiers were killed. All air-

The Obama administration has asked Congress to extend payroll tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, and also to renew unemployment benefits. The tax-cut extension could cost the Treasury an estimated $112 billion, but if it lapses, taxes on American workers will go up Jan. 1 at a cost of about $1,000 for a typical family. Democrats plan to propose paying for the extension with a surtax on millionaires, which Republicans oppose. Economists warn that not extending payroll-tax cut and unemployment benefits could cut the economy’s weak growth almost in half next year.

Islamists win in Morocco The victory of an Islamist Party in Morocco’s parliamentary elections appears to be one more sign that religious-based parties are benefiting the most from the new freedoms brought by the Arab Spring. Across the Middle East, parties referencing Islam have made great strides, offering an alternative to corrupt, long serving dictators, who have often ruled with close Western support. The Justice and Development Party dominated Morocco’s elections through a combination of good organization, an outsider status and not being too much of a threat to Morocco’s all-powerful king.

Obese child in foster care An Ohio third-grader who weighs more than 200 pounds has been taken from his family and placed into foster care after county social workers said his mother wasn’t doing enough to control his weight. The Plain Dealer newspaper reported the Cleveland 8-year-old is considered severely obese and at risk for such diseases as diabetes and hypertension. The case is the first state officials can recall of a child being put in foster care strictly for a weight-related issue. Lawyers for the mother said the county overreached when authorities took the boy last week. They said the medical problems he is at risk for do not yet pose an imminent danger. A spokeswoman said the county removed the child because caseworkers saw his mother’s inability to reduce his weight as medical neglect.

BEIRUT

In an unprecedented move against an Arab nation, the Arab League on Sunday approved economic sanctions on Syria to pressure Damascus to end its deadly suppression of an 8-monthold uprising against President Bashar Assad. But even as world leaders abandon Assad, the regime has refused to ease a military assault on dissent that already has killed more than 3,500 people. On Sunday, Damascus slammed the sanctions as a betrayal of Arab solidarity and insisted a foreign conspiracy was behind the revolt, all but assuring more bloodshed will follow.

strikes are approved at a higher command level than the troops on the ground. Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen offered his deepest condolences and said the coalition was committed to working with Pakistan to “avoid such tragedies in the future.” “We have a joint interest in the fight against cross-border terrorism and in ensuring that Afghanistan does not once again become a safe-haven for terrorists,” Rasmussen said. NATO officials have complained that insurgents fire from across the poorly defined frontier, often from positions close to Pakistani soldiers, who have been accused of tolerating or supporting them. The U.S. plans its own investigation. Two U.S. senators called Sunday for harder line on Pakistan.

Some lost in translation By TOM BREEN Associated Press

CLAYTON, N.C. — English-speaking Roman Catholics who have regularly attended Mass for years found themselves in an unfamiliar position Sunday, needing printed cards or sheets of paper to follow along with a ritual many have known since childhood. “I don’t think I said it the right way once,” said Matthew Hoover, who attends St. Ann Catholic Church in Clayton, a growing town on the edge of the Raleigh suburbs. “I kept forgetting, and saying the old words.” The Mass itself — the central ritual of the Catholic faith — hasn’t changed, but the English translation has, in the largest shakeup to the everyday faith of be-

lievers since the upheavals that followed the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. A years-long process of revision and negotiation led to an updated version of the Roman Missal, the text of prayers and instructions for celebrating Mass, which originally was written in Latin. The new translation was rolled out across the English-speaking Catholic world on Sunday after months of preparation. The Rev. George Witt, pastor of the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on Park Avenue, started the 11 a.m. Mass by noting Sunday was not only the first day of Advent, but also the first day to use the new Missal. He directed parishioners to a pamphlet inserted into the back of the now-

outdated hymnal that spelled out the new wording. A notable number of worshippers stumbled after the priest said, “Peace be with you.” The new response is “And with your spirit” instead of “And also with you.” But many others confidently gave the right response. Kathleen McCormack, a church volunteer and former school teacher, said she didn’t like the new translation and didn’t understand why the church needed a translation closer to Latin. “Consubstantial? What is that word?” McCormack said, referring to a term in the retranslated Nicene Creed that replaces language calling Jesus “one in being with the Father.”

Egypt gets ready for key vote amid turmoil Elections are the first since popular uprising that pushed out Hosni Mubarak. By HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

CAIRO — Egyptians prepared to vote today in the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, a milestone many hoped would usher in a democratic age after decades of dictatorship. Instead, the polling is already marred by turmoil in the streets and the population is sharply polarized and confused over the nation’s direction. Nine months after the popular uprising that pushed Mubarak out, protesters are back in the streets. This time, they are demanding that military ruler Field Marshal Hus-

sein Tantawi and his council of generals step down immediately, accused of bungling the transition. Nine days of clashes that have left more than 40 dead have heightened fears of violence at polling stations. More critically, the political crisis has cast doubt on the legitimacy of the vote, which is expected to be dominated by Islamic parties. That could render the parliament that emerges irrelevant. “We have no idea who we are going to vote for,” said Mustafa Attiya Ali, a 50-yearold barber in Cairo. “We don’t know any of the candidates, but I and my friends will get together tonight and decide who to vote for.” Egypt’s military rulers decided to forge ahead with the elections despite the new

wave of unrest, scenes starkly reminiscent of the first uprising. On Sunday night in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the center of the original uprising, a relatively small crowd of a few

thousand braved a rare rainstorm to keep the round-theclock protests going. Egypt has not had a fair or clean election in recent memory.

On the eve of “Cyber Monday,” online retailers reported an even stronger start to the holiday shopping season than brick-and-mortar stores. Research firm comScore reported on Sunday that e-commerce spending jumped 26 percent on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, compared with the same day a year ago. ComScore reported $816 million in online sales for the day, up from $648 million. The 26 percent growth rate for online sales compares with a 7 percent retail sales increase reported for Black Friday by ShopperTrak, which gathers data from individual stores and shopping malls. At $11.4 billion, the brick-and-mortar sales total still dwarfs the online total. Gian Fulgoni, comScore chairman, said in a statement that e-commerce enjoyed a banner day, despite some analysts’ predictions that early store openings on Black Friday could hurt online sales. “With brick-and-mortar retail also reporting strong gains on Black Friday, it’s clear that the heavy promotional activity had a positive impact on both channels,” Fulgoni said. Thanksgiving is also a big day for online sales, and comScore reported an 18 percent increase this year compared with a year ago, with $479 million in sales. Online sales also have been strong throughout November. Online sales through Saturday rose 15 percent compared with the same period a year ago, according to comScore, which is based on Reston, Va. Through the first 25 days of the month, online sales have totaled $12.74 billion. ComScore said 50 million Americans visited online retail sites on Black Friday, up 35 percent from a year ago. Each of the top five retail sites reported double-digit gains in visitors, in percentage terms, led by top retail site Amazon. Walmart ranked second, followed by Best Buy, Target and Apple. Next up is Cyber Monday, when many online retailers run promotions for the first business day of the week following Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday sales topped $1 billion last year, making it the heaviest day of online spending ever. ComScore’s Fulgoni expects another record will be set this year.

Frederick C. Broghamer November 25, 2011

Frederick C. Broghamer, 50, of B’nai Brith Apartments in WilkesBarre, died Friday at his residence. Born October 6, 1961, in WilkesBarre, he was the son of the late Frederick J. and Lucille Schaefer Broghamer. He attended Gate of Heaven School in Dallas and graduated from West Side Area Vo-Tech School in Pringle. Fred was a devoted and loving son, brother and friend. Early on in his life, Fred loved hunting and fishing with his father. He enjoyed many other outdoor activities; one of his favorites being bicycling. However, soon after his 21st birthday, Fred was paralyzed in a car accident. Despite this major setback, Fred always remained upbeat and optimistic about life. He never let anything get in his way of doing what he wanted to do. He even began driving again with the assistance of a handicappedequipped van, which he drove until he became bedridden 10 years ago. Fred also loved and kept up with the latest technology, and was a genius with the computer, which was his major in school. Even with all of the physical problems he faced, Fred was always there for his family and friends, to lend an ear or help in any way he could, which he did often, both compassionately and generously. Fred was truly an inspiration of courage and determination, not only to his family and friends, but to everyone else who ever met him. There are not enough words, or even any words really, to convey how deeply and sadly he will be missed by all whose lives he touched. He was preceded in death by his father, Frederick J., who died on April 19, 1989 and his mother, Lucille A. Schaefer Broghamer, who died on December 7, 2007. Fred will be deeply missed by his sisters, Lucille Mudzik of Toms River, New Jersey; Bonita Plasco of Lakeside Nursing Center at Harveys Lake, and Lucinda Broghamer of Saylorsburg; aunt, Anna Foley; nieces, nephews and cousins. Family and friends are invited to share in the Celebration of Fred’s Life with a Funeral Liturgy on Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the Church of Saint Nicholas, 226 South Washington Street in Wilkes-Barre. Private interment will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Carverton. Arrangements are by McLaughlin’s. Permanent messages and memories can be shared with Fred’s family at www.celebratehislife.com.

Sandusky charges bring focus on Pa. sex crime laws cis J. Schultz, president of the state prosecutors’ association. “In Crawford County, we would choose the more specific offense if we were talking about anal or oral. We’re going to charge IDSI. And it probably varies Gary Asteak from prosecuCriminal defense tor’s office to lawyer in Easton prosecutor’s office.” Gary Asteak, a criminal defense lawyer in Easton, prefers the term rape to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse for clarity’s sake. “Let’s call it what it is,” Asteak said. “IDSI is kind of a long term. ... It’s a whole lot easier to say rape.” Even within the IDSI statute, there are different ways to charge. Sandusky’s IDSI counts were filed under a provision that applies when victims are under age 16 and the perpetrator is at least four years older, but not the victim’s spouse. The grand jury report issued when Sandusky was charged Nov. 5 lists eight purported victims, all boys, none identified by name. Involuntary deviate sexual intercourse was charged in relation to four of them: “victim 1,” a boy he allegedly fondled and engaged in oral sex with; “victim 2,” an asyet unidentified child whom another coach reported seeing subjected to anal sex in the team showers; “victim 4,” who prosecutors say became a fixture in the Sandusky household, and whom Sandusky is accused of trying to penetrate orally and anally; and “victim 6,” also unidentified, who jurors said was seen by a janitor in the showers being subjected to oral sex. The grand jury report said Sandusky performed oral sex on victim 1 more than 20 times in 2007-08, along with other allegations, but he was only charged with six total crimes in relation to that boy. Bill Costopoulos, a defense attorney in Lemoyne, said those 20

By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Plainly stated, the most serious of the 40 criminal charges lodged three weeks ago against Jerry Sandusky are that he sexually attacked young boys, subjecting them to anal and oral sex. That may sound to many people like a case of rape, but police and prosecutors turned instead to a different section of Pennsylvania’s criminal code for the most serious of the sex offenses the former Penn State assistant coach faces. Each of those seven felony counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison, the same as rape. The question of whether to “call a rape a rape,” as New York Times ombudsman Arthur S. Brisbane put it last week, comes down to the finer points of Pennsylvania state law, discretionary decisions made by police and prosecutors and the necessarily politically charged language of sex in general and violent sexual offenses in particular. Legal experts say the Pennsylvania definition of the two crimes overlap considerably, but the legal definition of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, which pertains to anal and oral sex, any type of sex with an animal, and penetration with foreign objects, covers behavior different from a rape involving vaginal sex between an adult man and woman. Forced anal sex can be charged as rape. It’s not unusual for the two offenses to be lodged together for a single criminal act. The decision about whether to charge rape or IDSI, as it is often referred to, can be a matter of courtroom tactics. Prosecutors sometimes worry that in scenarios such as the Sandusky allegations, where there has not been male-female vaginal sex, jurors can balk at declaring it rape. “The layperson considers rape in terms of ordinary sexual intercourse,” said northwestern Pennsylvania District Attorney Fran-

separate allegations could have generated 20 counts, but there may have been other considerations when it came time to decide which charges to lodge. “Once you start bringing in multiple counts, then the victim’s going to have to get more specific with dates, times and places,” Costopoulos said. Asteak said prosecutors who file dozens and dozens of charges, which happens, can run the risk of being seen as piling on, and multiple counts can have diminishing value in the criminal court system when it comes time for sentencing. “Sandusky has enough charges against him to put him away for the rest of his natural life, plus,”

Asteak said. Sandusky also faces other charges for alleged acts that include touching a child’s penis, grabbing a naked child in the shower and putting his hands down the waistband of a boy’s pants without touching his genitals. The other counts are aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, attempted indecent assault, unlawful contact with minors, endangering a child’s welfare and corruption of minors. If he is convicted of multiple charges for the same act, it’s possible convictions on lesser offenses may merge when it comes time for sentencing. He has denied the allegations

against him, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for next month. The set of crimes in the Sandusky case, collectively, can be described appropriately as “child sex abuse,” said Kristen Houser with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, which works with 51 rape crisis centers in the state and advocates on behalf of victims. But she pointed to the use of “sex scandal” and “child abuse” in news accounts as an example of how imprecision in the language of sex crimes can serve to water down the seriousness of the allegations. “What’s ... important to us is that the sexual nature of the vio-

lations are included,” Houser said. “When we see headlines calling it a ‘Penn State sex scandal’ — Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, those are sex scandals. This is about sexual abuse of children.” She also said the children who police say were attacked by Sandusky should be referred to as “alleged victims” rather than “accusers.”

Six items didn’t go up: French hens, calling birds, gold rings, maids-a-milking, ladies dancing and lords-a-leaping.

Cost of gifts in ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ tops 100 grand By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The price of partridges, pear trees and turtle doves has spiked, pushing the cost of every item mentioned in the carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas” above $100,000 for the first time. Holding mostly steady this year: maids-a-milking, ladies dancing, lords-a-leaping and gold rings. The 364 items repeated across all the song’s verses would cost

$101,119, an increase of 4.4 percent over last year, according to the annual Christmas Price Index compiled by PNC Wealth Management. The broader government Consumer Price Index increased by 3.9 percent over the same period. Those with the money to spend would end up with 12 drummers drumming, 22 pipers piping, 30 lords-a-leaping, 36 ladies dancing, 40 maids-a-milking, 42 swans-aswimming, 42 geese-a-laying, 40

a state trooper and 11 of those years as an accident reconstructionist before moving into the private sector and doing the same work for insurance companies and attorneys, believes the young man wasn’t thrown from the car, let alone fatally injured in the crash. Instead, Baranowski said Marietta was mostly likely struck by a passing motorist, probably as he stood in the highway trying to flag down help after the initial crash. Baranowski contends unidentified people in the car he believes hit Marietta are likely the same two individuals he believes stopped and called 911 before being allowed to leave by a trooper at the scene. Sgt. Joseph D’Andrea, the patrol supervisor at the barracks in question, said he was advised by superiors not to comment for this story because the Rev. Ewing Marietta, the victim’s father, has a lawsuit pending against the as-yet unidentified driver of the other car, which could result in some troopers being called as witnesses.

Romney enjoys a solid lead in New Hampshire polls and remains at the front. By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

CONCORD, N.H. — New Hampshire’s largest newspaper on Sunday endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the 2012 GOP presidential race, signaling that rival Mitt Romney isn’t the universal favorite and potentially resetting the contest before the state’s lead-off primary Jan. 10. “We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing,” The New Hampshire Union Leader said in its front-page editorial, which was as much a promotion of Gingrich as a discreet rebuke of Romney. “We don’t back candidates based on popularity polls or bigshot backers. We look for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independent-minded,

UNIONTOWN — A former state trooper who claims he was forced into retirement after challenging the official version of the fatal police shooting of an unarmed 12-year-old boy that resulted in a landmark $12.5 million settlement by the Pennsylvania State Police is again questioning the conclusion troopers from the same barracks where he used to work — this time in a crash that killed a pastor’s son. Investigators from the barracks near Uniontown, about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh, contend 18-year-old Ewing Marcus Marietta II fell asleep or otherwise lost control of his 2001 Ford Mustang about 2:45 a.m. while driving down a steep stretch of U.S. Route 40 coming home from a football camp in North Carolina in July 2009. Troopers concluded Marietta was ejected from his rolling car, and died from resulting head injuries three days later. But 49-year-old James Baranowski, who worked 17 years as

year. Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investment for PNC Wealth Management, said the core rate of increase is less than half the 9.2 percent jump last year. “The story in general is wages are still a very sluggish part of this economy,” said Dunigan, who noted that the price of eight maidsa-milking at minimum wage was $58 — the same as in 2009. Five gold rings even declined a bit, Dunigan said, to $645, from

ladies dancing and lords-a-leaping. Pipers piping and drummers drumming rose 3 percent. The partridge is still the cheapest item, at $15, and swans the most expensive. PNC Financial Services Group Inc. checks jewelry stores, dance companies, pet stores and other sources to compile the list. Some of its sources this year include the National Aviary in Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania Ballet Company.

gold rings, 36 calling birds, 30 French hens, 22 turtle doves, and 12 partridges in pear trees. (The price does not include bird maintenance.)

Republican presidential candidate and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich speaks during the Republican presidential debate in Washington.

grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job,” the editorial said. Romney enjoys a solid leads in New Hampshire polls and remains at the front of the pack nationally. A poll released last week showed him with 42 percent support among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire. Gingrich followed with 15 percent in the WMUR-University of New Hampshire Granite State poll. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas posted 12 percent support and former Utah Gov. John Huntsman found 8 percent support in that survey. Those numbers could shift based on the backing of The Union Leader, a newspaper with a conservative editorial page that proudly works to influence elections, from school boards to the White House, in the politically savvy state. “We don’t have to agree with them on every issue,” the newspaper wrote in an editorial that ran across the width of the front page. “We would rather back someone with whom we may

sometimes disagree than one who tells us what he thinks we want to hear.” While Romney enjoys solid support in national polls, the large pack of Republicans has shifted all year from candidate to candidate in search of an alternative to the former Massachusetts governor. That led to the rise, and fall, of potential challengers such as Huntsman, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Yet with six weeks until the primary, The Union Leader’s move could shuffle the race and give Gingrich another boost. In recent weeks, he has seen a surge in some polls as Republicans focus more closely on deciding which candidate they consider best positioned to take on President Barack Obama. Gingrich has performed solidly in debates, found his campaign stride and begun rebuilding his campaign. In New Hampshire, he brought on respected tea party leader Andrew Hemingway to lead his efforts and his team has been contacting almost 1,000 voters each day.

Hemingway’s team of eight paid staffers in New Hampshire has been adding more than 100 volunteers each day, campaign officials said. Gingrich’s team has lined up leaders in the major cities and started identifying representatives in each ward in the state. Gingrich has opened offices in Manchester, New Hampshire’s biggest city, along with Dover in the eastern part of the state and in the North Country’s Littleton. He plans two more. Gingrich hasn’t begun television advertising and has refused to go negative on his opponents. Yet The Union Leader’s backing could give him a nudge in New Hampshire and provide a steady stream of criticism. Four years earlier, the newspaper threw its support to Arizona Sen. John McCain’s bid and used front page opinion columns and editorials to boost him and criticize chief rival Romney. In the time since, Romney has worked to court Union Leader publisher Joe McQuaid, who often runs columns on the newspaper’s front page under his signature. “The Union Leader’s style is we don’t just endorse once,” McQuaid told The Washington Post in 1999. “We endorse every damn day. We started endorsing Reagan in 1975 and never stopped.” Romney and his wife, Ann, had dinner with the McQuaids at the Bedford Village Inn near Manchester, hoping to reset the relationship earlier this year. Yet it didn’t prove enough and McQuaid’s newspaper seemed not to appreciate the outreach. “Newt Gingrich is by no means the perfect candidate,” the editorial said. “But Republican primary voters too often make the mistake of preferring an unattainable ideal to the best candidate who is actually running.”

Occupy LA deadline ignored Protesters plan “eviction block party’’ instead of leaving encampment. By ANDREW DALTON Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of Occupy Los Angeles protesters showed no sign they planned to move Sunday ahead of a city-imposed midnight deadline to abandon their encampment, saying they would instead hold an “eviction block party.” Although city officials have told demonstrators they must leave the weeks-old protest site and take their nearly 500 tents with them by 12:01 a.m. today, just a handful were seen packing up Sunday. Instead, some passed out fliers containing the city seal and the words: “By order of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, this notice terminates your tenancy and requires you to attend the Occupy L.A. Eviction Block Party.” “The best way to keep a non-violent movement non-violent is to throw a party, and keep it festive and atmospheric,” said Brian Masterson as he helped a friend break down her tent. “And I’m going to be doing as much as I can to stop violence.” He said he had turned his own tent into a “non-violent booby trap” by filling it with sandbags to make it tough to tear down. “We can’t beat the LAPD, but

we can make it difficult for them to do their job, and have fun while we’re doing it,” Masterson said. Villaraigosa issued a statement a few hours before the deadline Sunday night, outlining the city’s plan and his hopes for a “spirit of cooperation.” He said that even after the park’s official closure police “will allow campers ample time to remove their belongings peacefully and without disruption.” Villaraigosa said police and social workers will walk through the park handing out information on the closure and services available. The mayor did not say what tactics authorities would use for those who refuse to leave — or when they will begin using them. The atmosphere was already festive Sunday afternoon. A punkpop band played protest songs on one of the lawns. The protest’s artists were out in great numbers showing their work, and twice the usual number of news trucks surrounded the tent city. Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart drew a crowd as he stood on the City Hall steps and argued with protesters on topics like Bank of America and Warren Buffett. Some campers packed up their tents and belongings Sunday to avoid police trouble, but said they intended to return without them in support of their fellow protesters. “I would prefer not to take the

tent down,” said Tiffany Wallace as she packed up her campsite. “But we need to be strategic for this movement to last. This is not just for the occupation of this particular location. This is for mobilizing working class people nationally and internationally.” Digital fliers were being posted on Facebook and Twitter encouraging people to go to City Hall at midnight in solidarity with occupiers. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl appeared on the City Hall lawn to issue a late plea for protesters to leave. Occupy organizers said thanks, but no thanks. “Until the grievances of the 99 percent are addressed to end corporate control of the system, the government and the media, Occupy LA will be here exercising our 1st Amendment rights,” Julie Levine, one of several Occupy spokespeople, told the Los Angeles Times. Police, for their part, have said little about what tactic they would take if protesters ignore the deadline.

Editorial

WORLD OPINION

The Asia Pacific region shouldn’t be top priority

N HIS SPEECH to the Australian Parliament, President Barack Obama said that his top priority is the Asia Pacific region. Really? The Asia Pacific region is more important than the Middle East with all its crises? More important than solving the Palestinian-Israeli issue? More important than famine and political instability in the Horn of Africa and the dangers of it becoming a hub of international terrorism? More important than the nuclear ambitions that the United States is convinced Iran harbors? At least it explains why the United States seemingly has given up all pretense of working for peace in the Middle East. It explains why the United States is doing nothing about the brutal repression in Syria. It also explains

why the White House so cravenly bowed to threats from Republicans in Congress over U.S. involvement in Libya and pulled U.S. planes out of the battle, leaving the action to the French, the British and other Europeans. If the Asia Pacific region is the priority, is the United States now wholly focused on problems there? Compared to the Middle East, there are none, apart from North Korea and its blackmailing regime. It remains to be seen if Obama’s speech in Australia is the United States’ “East of Suez” moment. But for a nation that still is the most militarily powerful in the world yet now seems so unsure about wielding that power, it looks as if that might be the case. Arab News Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

QUOTE OF THE DAY “They remind us of our best versions of ourselves.” Jason Segel The co-writer and star of the recently released “The Muppets” film says the beloved characters have shown for 40 years that it’s possible to get laughs without having to do it at anyone else’s expense.

Don’t give up the fight

SMALL GROUP of U.S. legislators should have announced a plan last Wednesday to clean up their country’s fiscal mess. Instead, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Supercommittee”) gave up, two days early. Its failure to agree on how to cut $1.2-trillion from the deficit over 10 years triggers automatic and deep spending cuts as part of an earlier deal to raise the country’s debt ceiling – unless Congress unites to reverse those triggers. But Congress should lie in the bed it made. The U.S. political class needs to stem the public’s hemorrhaging mistrust. The United States’ public finances need to be put on a sustainable footing.

Unlike other commissions to reduce the deficit, the supercommittee of six Democrats and six Republicans had tremendous authority. Yet agreement among 12 members of Congress was no easier to achieve than agreement among 535. It would be better to actually look into the abyss. And if it really is that scary, it ought to unite Congress to do something positive – reconvening something like the supercommittee or taking a second look at the sound recommendations of another bipartisan committee, the Simpson-Bowles Commission. Ultimately, in a crisis, public confidence is restored when politicians try, not when they give up the fight. The Globe and Mail, Toronto

Turkey is modern state

T A TIME when so many Arab states are experiencing severe political unrest, Turkey’s potential to act as a force for stability in the region should not be underestimated. While it has experienced political turbulence in the past – the country’s military staging a coup d’etat in 1980 – in recent years Turkey has made giant strides toward becoming a modern democratic state. Its ruling Justice and Development Party has sought to strike the right balance between the competing claims of its proud Islamic heritage and the desire of its youthful, secular-minded population to achieve social

and economic progress. There also has been a dramatic turnaround in Turkey’s economic fortunes, with the country experiencing a growth rate of nearly 7 percent so far this year, far higher than any of its neighbors in Europe. Some analysts predict it will be one of the world’s top 10 economies by 2050. The success of this moderate Islamic state in achieving rapid economic growth, and in proving the compatibility of Islam with democracy, should certainly serve as a model for prodemocracy campaigners elsewhere in the Muslim world.

Prevention is the key to avoiding the flu this season WE’VE ALL had those days when we just don’t feel well – a cough, a runny nose, sneezing, body aches and maybe a fever. As the winter months approach, those symptoms could mean that you have the flu, or the influenza virus. But there are steps you can take to minimize your chances of contracting the flu. The first step is to understand how the influenza virus spreads. Generally, influenza spreads from one person, who has the virus, to another person. According to the Centers for Disease Control, this typically occurs when people who have the flu cough, sneeze or talk and create droplets that come in contact with another person. The virus also can be contracted by touching a surface that has been contaminated by the influenza virus. A recent study by personal and health care product company Kimberly-Clark revealed that surfaces we come into contact with every day, including gas pump handles, escalator rails and ATM and credit card machines, can be contaminated with bacteria and viruses. Handling money also is a common source of transmission.

MAIL BAG

DR. NEIL LESITSKY To help ensure that you are not spreading viruses such as influenza from a contaminated surface, wash your hands often with soap and water, and if soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Also, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth after touching a surface that could be contaminated or after coming in contact with someone who is sick. Even after taking these precautionary steps, it’s still possible to get sick. If you think you have the flu, based on the symptoms outlined above, it is recommended that you stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care. In most cases, the flu is a mild illness, and most people do not need medical care or antiviral drugs. However, according to the CDC, some people are more likely to have complications from the flu – namely, young children, people 65 and older, women who are pregnant and people with asthma or diabetes. It’s also possible, though more rare, for healthy peo-

COMMENTARY

ple to develop severe illness from the flu, so the CDC recommends that anyone concerned about their illness should consult a health care provider. Perhaps the most important step you can take to prevent the flu is to receive a flu vaccination. In fact, the CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses. And contrary to what some people might think, the vaccine does not contain a live active virus, so you cannot get the flu from the vaccine. Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, like many other insurers, strongly encourages our members to receive a vaccination because it’s the best way to keep yourself, and our community, healthy during flu season. For more information on where to find a flu vaccine location near you, visit www.flu.gov or contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health toll-free at 1-877-PAHEALTH.

he state House and Senate are proposing natural gas drilling-related legislation that includes the establishment of optional local impact fees at the expense of requiring municipalities to sacrifice whatever power they might have to enforce local ordinances meant to protect the health and welfare of residents. One argument put forth to advance this agenda is that the bills, HB 1950 and SB 1100, include improvements to existing environmental regulations. But, the truth is there are no existing regulations that apply to deep drilling, which uses high volumes of chemically treated liquid forced downward under enormous pressure. The existing laws apply to shallow vertical drilling, a vastly different activity. Thus, when lawmakers tout the recommendations made by Gov. Tom Corbett’s Marcellus Commission to increase the existing gas well setback distance of 200 feet from any drinking water source to 500 and 1,000 foot setbacks from private and public water sources, this is merely an arbitrary determination, probably made in accordance with protecting the financial bottom line of the drilling industry.

is evidence – both scientific and from recent experience – that suggests the proposed 500 and 1,000 foot setbacks are quite inadequate as protective measures for one of Pennsylvania’s most valuable resources: clean water. In addition, the bills each contain a provision for a driller to pursue a variance for the proposed setbacks, in order to be allowed to drill even closer to drinking water sources. Lawmakers should reject both SB 1100 and HB 1950 and get back to the task of crafting a bona fide state severance tax. Moreover, considerations such as the protection of the rights of municipalities to enforce zoning regulations and the careful crafting of realistic state environmental legislation should be issues that are addressed separately. Combining these issues with an impact fee is just the means by which our state lawmakers hold Pennsylva-

Letter on Sunday hunting misses target, many facts

nce again the sportsmen of this commonwealth are subject to the antihunting ravings of David Kveragas (“Sunday hunting threatens general peace and quiet,” Nov. 18). Kveragas conveniently fails to mention that Sunday hunting already is permitted for crows, coyotes and fox, not to mention trap shooting. He also fails to mention that users of the state game lands during hunting season are required to wear 200 inches of fluorescent orange, which many blithely ignore. To date, there is no record of anyone being injured by the hunter despite the ignorance and noncompliance of this law. He goes on to mention the rights of people to make decisions about property they own. He conveniently fails to mention the hunting clubs that own hundreds and thousands of acres are denied the right to use them for hunting by the “no Sunday hunting” law! G.F. Schutz Pringle

But, she said, a dozen flashlights had to be purchased before show time. She also anticipated having to deal with people unhappy with the location of their seats in the 1,130-seat venue.

toward Republicans in the 2010 congressional elections. Obama and the Democrats have been trying to woo them back ever since. “For people with high drug expenditures, the 50 percent discount offers real savings,” said Tricia Neuman, director of Medicare policy for the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “It’s certainly more helpful than no coverage at all, which is what they had previously.” More than 2 million beneficiaries already have gotten some help, discounts that have gone largely to middle-class seniors, because the poor are covered in the gap at taxpayer expense. For retired elementary school teacher Carolyn Friedman, it meant she didn’t need a loan to pay for drugs that keep her epilepsy under control. “What a change for the better,” said Friedman, 71, of Sunrise, Fla. “This year it was easier to pay my bills, whereas last year I had to borrow money to pay for my medications when I was in the doughnut hole.” One of her brand-name antiseizure drugs cost about $370 in the gap last year, and the other about $270. This year Friedman paid about $150 and $130, respectively, for a month’s supply. Medicare covers about 47 million older and disabled people, and about 9 in 10 have some kind of prescription plan. Most rely on the drug benefit, also known as Part D, which is delivered through private insurance plans. Beneficiaries have until Dec. 7 to change their drug plans for 2012. Consumer advocates recommend that seniors check their coverage during open enrollment to see if their current choice remains the best for next year. Many families start the process around the Thanksgiving holiday. The coverage gap, a moneysaving idea from a previous Congress, never has been popular.

President Barack Obama listens in June 2010 as Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius speaks during a town hall meeting on the Affordable Care Act in Wheaton, Md.

It starts after an individual beneficiary and his or her drug plan have spent a total of $2,840 on medications for the year. Seniors are then on their own for the next $3,600. Once total spending reaches about $6,440, Medicare’s catastrophic coverage kicks in and beneficiaries pay only a token amount. Most people do not spend enough in the doughnut hole to qualify for catastrophic coverage. Although few private insurance plans still cap the amount they spend on medications, Medicare’s hole-in-the-middle approach is highly unusual. The Republican-led Congress that passed the drug benefit under President George W. Bush was trying to balance coverage and costs, as many conservatives fretted about creating a new unfunded entitlement. Supporters wanted all beneficiaries to get some initial benefit from the program, and they wanted to protect those with overwhelmingly high costs. The resulting compromise led to the doughnut hole. Under Obama’s health care law, the gap will be gradually

phased down by 2020. This year, the law provides a 50 percent discount on brand name drugs and 7 percent break on generics. Next year the discount on generics rises to 14 percent. When the changes are fully phased in, beneficiaries will still be responsible for their annual deductible and 25 percent of the cost of their medications until they reach catastrophic coverage. If Republicans succeed in repealing what they dismiss as “Obamacare,” the discounts would be wiped out as well. Joan Gibbs thought her pharmacy had made a mistake. Her total cost for a brand-name painkiller in the doughnut hole came out lower than her co-payment earlier in the year, at a time her plan was picking up most of the tab. “I reluctantly called the insurance company,” said Gibbs, 54, who lives near Cleveland. “If they had made a mistake, I knew they would catch it sooner or later. I was very surprised that it turned out to be such a good discount.” Gibbs is on Medicare because of an auto-immune disorder and

other medical problems that left her unable to work. Other beneficiaries say it’s still a struggle, even with the discounts. John Robinson of Bel Air, Md., has diabetes and heart problems. A retired director of patient accounts for a hospital, Robinson said he runs up his credit card balance to pay for insulin, other medications and diabetic supplies in the doughnut hole.

ton Street, Wilkes-Barre, with allegedly committing five robberies and attempts at area stores and restaurants within a 24-hour period. Ungarsky is an alleged drug user, police said. Ungarsky allegedly robbed the Taco Bell on Kidder Street, Wilkes-Barre, at night on Nov. 13. The following morning on Nov. 14, he allegedly robbed the Family Dollar on Union Street, Pringle, and Dollar General on the Dallas Memorial Highway, Kingston Township, after he unsuccessfully attempted to rob the McDonald’s restaurant on Kidder Street, Wilkes-Barre, and the Uni Mart on North Main Street, Plains Township, according to arrest records. There were also robberies in

the same South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre neighborhood at the Family Dollar and Dollar General on Nov. 15 and Nov. 16, respectively. Robberies and attempts were also reported at the Turkey Hill, North Washington Street and George Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, on Nov. 16; Rite Aid Pharmacy, Amber Lane, Wilkes-Barre, on Nov. 17; P.G. &W. Employee Federal Credit Union, South Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, on Nov. 19; Cocoa Hut convenience store, Middle Road, Nanticoke, on Nov. 21; Good to Go convenience store, state Route 309, Fairview Township, on Nov. 22; and at the Dallas Township branch for Luzerne National Bank, state routes 415 and 118,

on Nov. 22. Wilkes-Barre police charged Ronald Shobey, 52, of Davis Place, with the attempted robbery at the federal credit union. Dallas Township Police Chief Robert Jolly said the robbery at the bank was committed with a balloon that the suspect claimed was filled with acid. The balloon was filled with ammonia when it popped, Jolly said. There were 52 robberies in the last three months in Luzerne County in 2010, eight more than the year before, according to the state police Uniform Crime Report. Robberies in October 2011, the most recent statistics reported to the UCR, were 19, three more than in the same month in 2010.

pers and protection-from-abuse orders. “Workers keep asking me what’s happening. I told them it’s not up to me,” Gilligan said. “I’d love to stay, but that’s not up to me.” Corcoran, who is wrapping up his first term in the post, said he’s concentrating on work. “We’re on a wait-and-see basis,” he said. “We have a wonderful office. We all work well together.” The office employs three fulltimers and also per diem workers, processing at least 2,500 deaths annually, he said. Conyngham, who was appointed clerk of courts in October 2010 after Robert Reilly resigned, said

an overseer is required in the office to sign official documents and make sure legal deadlines are met. The office also assigns witness clerks to attend criminal court proceedings and is a clearinghouse for criminal court records. “Literally foot-high stacks of paperwork come in here every day,” said Conyngham, who has a staff of 16. O’Brien said he’s departing his office with confidence that he made many improvements since he started serving the start of 2008. More than a million documents have been scanned into the computerized deeds record sys-

tem, including indexes back to 1926, he said. The office continues to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit for the county after covering the cost of staff and operations. Revenue from online document access has increased thousands of dollars each month, and online record filing has reduced office traffic and reduced paper usage, he said. Several positions were not filled as workers left. “There are no sour grapes. People wanted a change, so let it be,” O’Brien said. “Things happen for a reason. I’m a firm believer in that, and I will do everything in my power to assist this new form of government.”

and Human Services, said the federal government is spending billions of dollars to encourage hospitals and other health care providers to more widely use electronic health records, but also needs to develop a method for technology vendors and providers to report record-related injuries or deaths. Reporting “events related to patient safety should be mandatory for vendors and voluntary, confidential and non-punitive for care providers,” the report said. “Just as the potential benefits of health IT are great, so are the possible harms to patient safety if these technologies are not being properly designed and used,” said Gail L. Warden, president emeritus of Henry Ford Health System and chairman of the committee, in a statement when the report was released Nov. 8. “To protect patients, industry and government have a shared responsibility to ensure greater transparency, accountability and reporting of health IT-related medical errors.” Joel White, executive director of the Health IT Now coalition that includes providers, employers and insurance companies, said Marino’s bill is a way to help put some of the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations into effect. “The question is how to create a system that identifies and allows people to report errors and fix them without engaging in a punitive environment,” said

extending the payroll tax cut but oppose doing it by the surcharge on millionaires. Economists have said that ending the payroll tax cut while the economy remains shaky could drain needed spending from the economy. Congress also will confront the issue of whether to extend unemployment benefits for many workers whose benefits are due to run out when lawmakers return this week from a Thanksgiving break. White. Marino’s bill wouldn’t stop a lawsuit from going forward if an electronic records-related error – for instance, an intravenous infusion machine that dispenses the wrong dosage – occurred, White said. But it would protect the confidentiality of a reporting system designed to prevent the same mistake from happening again, he said. But Williamsport attorney Cliff Rieders, a past president of the Pennsylvania Association of Justice, said granting the legal immunity Marino seeks in his bill will discourage, not encourage, improvements to faulty electronic record systems. “Giving doctors immunity is exactly the wrong thing to be doing,” said Rieders, a medical malpractice attorney and a board member of the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority. “If you say to people that there is no repercussion to doing the wrong thing, you are going to encourage the wrong thing.” The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority is an independent state agency whose 11-member board is appointed by the governor and legislature and is made up of physicians, attorneys, nurses, a pharmacist and a non-healthcare worker. It is charged with taking steps to reduce and eliminate medical errors. Marino’s bill has not yet received a hearing in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over health care issues. But Marino also hopes to see the bill referred to his judiciary committee, his office said.

Eagles look disinterested in embarrassing loss to Pats By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

PHILADELPHIA – Maybe it was the way they were manhandled by the New England Patriots. Maybe it was simply the prospect of getting another chance during an upcoming game in four days. Or maybe the Philadelphia Eagles are just growing accustomed to getting flogged at home. Whatever the reason for their apathetical attitude after Tom Brady’s three touchdown passes Sunday sparked New England’s 38-20 thrash-

Maybe that’s why Eagles fans were calling for the ouster of Andy Reid through the second half. “You really can’t hear much down there,” said Reid, the Eagles 13-year head coach. “(But) the way we played, I can understand.” It didn’t take Philadelphia fans long PATRIOTS EAGLES to realize one thing.

At 4-7 overall, Philadelphia remained in last place in the NFC East, and was pushed farther from the playoff race.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Bernie Fine was fired Sunday by Syracuse University after a third man accused the assistant basketball coach of molesting him nine years ago. “At the direction of Chancellor Cantor, Bernie Fine’s employment with Syracuse University has been terminated, effective immediately,” Kevin Quinn, the school’s senior vice president for public affairs, said in a statement. The 65-year-old Fine was in his 36th season at his alma mater. He had the longest active streak of consec- Fine utive seasons at one school among assistant coaches in Division I. Zach Tomaselli, 23, of Lewiston, Maine, said Sunday that he told police that Fine molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room. He said Fine touched him “multiple” times in that one incident. He was the third accuser to come forward in the investigation of child molestation allegations against Fine. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said he supported the university’s decision to fire his longtime assistant and expressed regret for his initial statements that might have been “insensitive to victims of abuse. “The allegations that have come forth today are disturbing and deeply troubling,” Boeheim said in a statement released by the school. “I am personally very shocked because I have never witnessed any of the activities that have been alleged. I believe the university took the appropriate step tonight.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ben Roethlisberger joked that the broken thumb on his throwing hand was “still attached” after Sunday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

In a normal season, a 9-3 Penn State team would draw attention from the top-tier bowls outside of the BCS. In a normal season. As one of the top draws in college football, that’s how the Nittany Lions, at just 7-5, ended up playing on New Year’s Day in the Outback Bowl last season. This year, with the Jerry Sandusky scandal looming over the university, things are much more complicated. Though Penn State has remained a strong ratings draw this month in the wake of charges being filed against the former defensive coordinator, image concerns could still drop the Lions to a less prestigious bowl game.

lined by a right foot injury. D.J. Ware, meanwhile, is trying to recover from a concussion, although it appears he’ll be available to back up Brandon Jacobs after practicing fully during the latter part of the past week. New York also will be shuffling its offensive line because left tackle Will Beatty needed surgery to repair a detached retina. Complicating matters even more is fact that the Giants will be playing in the Superdome, where noise has been known to hinder communication for opposing offenses at the line of scrimmage. That could be a factor, given that Manning, when asked about ways to improve the run-

ning game, stressed the need for communication in the time between a run is called in the huddle and the snap of the ball. “The offensive line and the backs and I have to get us out of some bad runs,” Manning said. “We just have to try to get into some things where we get 3 and 4 yards a carry. There is just too many times where we are losing 2 yards. When you are playing in second-and-12, it makes for a long day.” Despite the lack of a credible running threat to this point, Manning is averaging 295.2 yards per game. “Two big allies to the quarterback are good defense and the ability to run the football,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

N F L T O D AY SCOREBOARD Today Giants (6-4) at Saints (7-3), 8:30 p.m. EST. Two NFC playoff contenders look to keep pace in their divisions.

STATS

Cardinals rookie Patrick Peterson tied the NFL record with his fourth punt return for a touchdown this season. He had an 80-yarder while St. Louis’ Nick Miller had an 88-yarder, the first game in NFL history in which each team had an 80-yard punt return for a score. ... The Browns scored a touchdown in the first quarter for the first time all season.

“What has been impressive about (Manning’s) season to date is despite them not having the same numbers that they would like (running the ball), he has been very consistent and very productive and a big reason why they are having success this year. He is having a fantastic season.” Still, Payton said he does not expect the Giants to abandon the running game, which would be out of character for coach Tom Coughlin. “They’re run numbers aren’t really what you might be accustomed to,” Payton said. “Clearly that’s something they’ll look to correct as they come into our game just like we had done the same thing.”

FINE

Dynamic duo leads North to 3-0 victory

By VAN ROSE For The Times Leader

DALLAS—When Delaware Valley’s Carissa Dube turned in a monster effort against Holy Redeemer in September, coach Jack Kablick wondered what it would be like if she joined forces with Royals All-Stater Allie Griswold. Sunday night, Kablick got a glimpse of what might have been. Dube and Griswold turned in dominating performances to lead the North to a 3-0 victory over the South in the Wyoming Valley Conference girls volleyball senior all-star game at Dallas High School. The scores were 2529, 25-22, 25-22. “If Carissa was at Redeemer, we would have been playing in the finals of the state tournament last Saturday (Nov. 19),” said Kablick, who coached the North team. “Dube and Griswold blended in well. They are good, intelligent athletes that adapt to a situation.” The duo proved to be difference makers in Sunday’s match. The South team held several leads throughout each games, but in the end were simply unable to stave off the two most powerful hitters in the WVC. Dube, a 6-foot-3 middle hitter, led the way with 15 kills, including a host of high-flying slams that were impossible to defend.

She also posted 13 service points, including two aces. The 5-11 Griswold had nine kills, eight service points and one block. “I really enjoyed being on the same team as the Redeemer players,” Dube said. “They are really great girls and it was a lot of fun. I think Allie and I were able to be aware of where each other was throughout the match.” Dube made the play of the match when she connected on a line-drive slam from the back row during game two, standing just a few inches in bound. “I estimated where I was, and I just went up and swung,” Dube said. “It was just instinctive.” Crestwood’s Courtney Kania, who led the South squad with 11 digs, spent most of the night trying to keep up with Dube and Griswold. “It was hard to defend against two great hitters,” Kania said. “I made sure I kept hustling and gave my team a lift. We kept going, no matter what.” Griswold felt that she and Dube meshed. “I’ve thought about us playing on the same team. We really supported each other well. We knew we had to do that in order to win.” Julia Wignot (Holy Redeemer) also had a strong effort. She had two kills, 17 assists and 16 service points.

Carissa Dube from Delaware Valley tries for a kill over Kyra Wolseiffer (13) of Meyers during the all-star senior volleyball game at Dallas High School Sunday.

Lake-Lehman’s Laura Casterline led the South in scoring with seven kills. The 5-11 hitter played stellar defense. “At first it was difficult because I was playing middle instead of outside,” Casterline said. “I thought we really did good, but they had two hitters that took over.” The South team also consisted of Carol Mosier (Lake-Lehman), Kayla Koziol (Lake-Lehman), Stephanie Klug (Crestwood), Aubrey Gryskiewicz (Dallas), Morgan Yohey (Nanticoke), Kyra

Wolseiffer (Meyers), Brielle Sherman (Tunkhannock), Allyssa Triano (MMI) and Brittany Atkins (Tunkhannock). MMI’s Annika Wessel did not play due to an injury. Rounding out the North team were Danielle Rose (Holy Redeemer), Kayla Kishbaugh (North Pocono), Shawna Rabbas (Hanover Area), Danielle Georgetti (Coughlin), and Wyoming Valley West trio of Jocelyn Amico, Stephanie Serafin and and Juliet Schmid. It was coached by Crestwood’s Mike Williams.

Gibbs, Wright lead Pitt past Robert Morris PITTSBURGH — Ashton Gibbs scored 21 points and Cameron Wright added a careerhigh 13 as No. 17 Pittsburgh rolled past Robert Morris 81-71 on Sunday. The Panthers (5-1) won their third straight by shooting 55 percent from the field in the first half and playing with a defensive intensity they have lacked at times early in the season. The addition of rangy freshman forward Khem Birch into the lineup helped. Birch finished with eight points, 11 rebounds and six blocks while making his second career start. Cordon Williams led Robert Morris (4-2) with 19 points but the Panthers clamped down on Robert Morris star Velton Jones, who came in averaging 19.7 points but was held to 10 on 1-of-14 shooting.

EAGLES Continued from Page 1B

“A lot of things can happen,” Eagles running back LeSean McCoy said, trying to muster some fading hope. “All we can do is win, and hope for the best.” Yet, the worst keeps happening for the Eagles, who have turned Lincoln Financial Field into a house of horrors while going 1-5 at home this season. “We’re supposed to be a great team,” said Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel, a former Patriot. “For some reason, we can’t get homefield advantage to work for us.” Advantage, everyone else. After the Eagles rattled off the game’s first 10 points, the Patri-

What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found. I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse.” Two former Syracuse ball boys were the first to accuse Fine, who has called the allegations “patently false.” Tomaselli, who faces sexual assault charges in Maine involving a 14-year-old boy, said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press that he signed an affidavit accusing Fine following a meeting with Syracuse police last week in Albany. Tomaselli’s father, meanwhile, maintains his son is lying. Bobby Davis, now 39, told ESPN that Fine molested him beginning in 1984 and that the sexual contact continued until he was around 27. A ball boy for six years, Davis told ESPN that the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four. Davis’ stepbrother, Mike Lang, 45, who also was a ball boy, told ESPN that Fine began molesting him while he was in fifth or sixth grade. When the accusations first became public Nov. 17, Boeheim adamantly defended his lifelong

friend. In an interview that day with the Post-Standard, Boeheim attacked Davis’ reasons for going public with his accusations. “The Penn State thing came out, and the kid behind this is trying to get money. He’s tried before. And now he’s trying again. If he gets this, he’s going to sue the university and Bernie. What do you think is going to happen at Penn State? You know how much money is going to be involved in civil suits? I’d say about $50 million. That’s what this is about. Money.” No one answered the door at the Fine home Sunday. Before Fine’s firing, his attorneys released a statement saying Fine would not comment beyond his initial statement. “Any comment from him would only invite and perpetuate ancient and suspect claims,” attorneys Donald Martin and Karl Sleight said. “Mr. Fine remains hopeful of a credible and expeditious review of the relevant issues by law enforcement authorities.” Tomaselli said the scandal at Penn State involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky prompted him to come forward. Sandusky is accused in a grand jury indictment of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period. “It was the Sandusky stuff that came out that really made me think about it,” Tomaselli said in the phone interview. “A lot of people were slamming ESPN and Bobby for saying anything. I wanted to come out. ... It made me sick to see all that support for Fine at that point. I was positive he was guilty.”

The Chiefs marched across midfield to the Pittsburgh 37 when Palko dropped back to pass. He was looking for Dwayne Bowe but threw it high and behind him, and Keenan Lewis hauled in the interception with 29 seconds left to seal the outcome. “Stepped up one more time for us,” Roethlisberger said. “They did a great job all day. Palko, making his second consecutive start in place of the injured

Matt Cassel, also fumbled a snap and threw interceptions to Ike Taylor and Ryan Mundy on consecutive plays in the first half. He fared little better than he did last week against New England, when he tossed three picks in his first NFL start. Palko finished 18 of 28 for 167 yards in what was likely his last chance. The Chiefs claimed former Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton off waivers on Wednesday with the in-

tention of having him compete with Palko for the starting job. Orton didn’t arrive in town until Friday, though, and he was inactive Sunday night after participating in only one practice. “He’ll have a much better chance this week to compete, and like I said, Tyler is the starter, but whatever position we say, if someone gives us a better chance to win, that’s the guideline we generally follow,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said.

ots took off on an unstoppable roll. Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored on four- and one-yard touchdown blasts to put the Patriots in front 14-10 early in the second quarter, Brady took over. The super-smooth Patriots quarterback rifled a 41-yard scoring strike to Wes Welker, then directed a 53-yard march in the two-minute drill to set up Stephen Gostkowski’s 45-yard field goal for a 24-13 lead by halftime. Brady found Welker again with a nine-yard touchdown toss in the third quarter and zipped a 24yard scoring strike to Rob Gronkowski with 8:35 to play. That gave the Patriots a 38-13 lead, and gave the normally die-hard Philadelphia faithful reason enough to storm the exits.

“They went no-huddle,” Eagles defensive end Jason Babin shrugged while talking about the Patriots offense and Brady. “They did a great job getting rid of the ball. That’s what makes Tom good. They’re a really good team and they beat us.” Actually, the Eagles helped beat themselves. They wasted a 400-yard passing day by backup quarterback Vince Young, as star wide receiver DeSean Jackson dropped two potential touchdown passes and the Eagles committed 10 penalties – including two offsides infractions in three snaps on New England’s field goal drive at the end of the first half. “You can’t have that many penalties and turnovers when you’re playing a good football team,” Reid said. “That’s my re-

sponsibility and we’ve got to take care of it.” Maybe taking to the road will help. The Eagles travel to Seattle for a Thursday night special this week, giving them little time to dwell on the Patriots massacre. “We don’t have a choice. We’ve got to get on the plane,” Babin said. “We kind of have to put this behind us for now.” It didn’t take long for the Eagles to jump out front Sunday. Young’s 58-yard bomb to Riley Cooper set up LeSean McCoy’s two-yard touchdown run on the opening possession. Then Young found Jackson with another deep ball for 44 yards the next time Philadelphia touched the ball, positioning Alex Henery for a 43yard field goal that gave the Eagles a 10-point lead.

“I’d be frustrated because the thing we have here is a group of players that didn’t do anything,” said interim coach Tom Bradley, who will leave the behind-thescenes lobbying to acting athletic director Dave Joyner. “They weren’t involved in this, they worked their tail off, they were 9-3. They’ve done everything we’ve asked them to do, and you’ve got to give them credit -for everything that has gone on, they’ve hung tough. “They’ve done a great job sticking together and I’m proud of them. I’m proud of the way they behaved, I’m proud of the way they acted and my hat’s off to them in a situation that is unprecedented in the history of college football. “They didn’t have anything to do with it. They weren’t involved in any way. And I think they deserve the opportunity to play a bowl game.” “We bust our butts year-in and year-out to go to a bowl game,” McGloin said. “To take that away from us, I don’t agree with it and the team doesn’t agree with it."

“We want someone that actually wants us at the bowl game,” quarterback Matt McGloin said. “If (bowls) are going to pass up on us for reasons that we can’t control, then that’s fine. But we want to go to a bowl game where someone actually wants us there.” The Lions will likely find out next Sunday where they are headed. The winner of Saturday’s Big Ten title game between Wisconsin (10-2) and Michigan State (10-2) heads to the Rose Bowl. Barring some upsets next week, Michigan (10-2) has a good shot at earning a BCS at-large bid, possibly to the Sugar Bowl. The first bowl picks after the BCS belong to the Capital One Bowl and then the Outback Bowl. Both would have an interest in Nebraska (9-3), which has fans eager to visit new postseason venues after the Cornhuskers’ first year in a new conference. Assuming Michigan is off the board, the Capital One would likely choose between Nebraska and the Big Ten championship loser, with the Outback taking the other. Next up is the Insight Bowl, a potential landing spot for the Lions. Penn State and Iowa (7-5) would be the teams with the best records left available, and the Hawkeyes played in the Insight last season. But if the Insight passes because of fear of negative publicity, the Lions would likely fall to the bottom rungs, comprised of the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, the TicketCity Bowl and the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. That’s because the last mid-tier game -- the Gator Bowl -- has had representatives already say publicly that they would like to try and match up Ohio State (6-6) and Florida with Urban Meyer as a common link. It’s a frustrating scenario for the Lions, who have said they would not decline a bowl bid. Penn State’s board of trustees could conceivably step in and say otherwise, but the coaches and players are hoping it doesn’t come to that.

Hanging around Despite the lopsided 45-7 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday, the Lions remain ranked in the latest BCS standings, dropping just two spots down to No. 21. Awards time The Big Ten will begin its expanded awards season tonight with an hour-long TV special highlighted by the all-conference teams being named. Airing at 7:30 p.m. on the Big Ten Network, two separate allBig Ten teams will be announced, with the coaches and media each voting for their own squads. A total of 10 new positional award-winners will be announced as well, with the conference’s top quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end, offensive lineman, defensive lineman, linebacker, defensive back, kicker and punter all being named. Leadership and humanitarian award-winners will come out on Tuesday, with the league naming offensive and defensive players of the year on Wednesday along with coach of the year and freshman of the year.

NBA

When lockout ends, Heat hoping to pounce By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — Free Agency 2011 will be nowhere near as celebrated for the Miami Heat as the player-movement bonanza that brought LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade together a year ago. It still carries massive importance. James, Wade, Bosh, Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem are still under contract, meaning the core remains intact. Point guard Mario Chalmers — who came up big during the NBA finals — is a restricted free agent, though he clearly has an eye on being back in Miami. And rookie point guard Norris Cole figures to contend for some rotation time. Looking at that list, the free-

agent focus in Miami seems obvious: The top Heat priority likely will be an upgrade at center. With the season now scheduled to start on Christmas, the Heat are preparing to shop. “We go in every day, and we’re ready to hit the ground running,” Heat President Pat Riley said last week, before the tentative deal between the league and its players. “Every single department’s up and running, ready to roll, and we’re all doing our jobs from that extent. ... That’s what we do every day. And we’re ready to roll. When we find out, we’re ready to go.” The financial terms of the agreement almost certainly will not help the Heat bottom line. A person familiar with the team’s financial picture told The Associated Press that the Heat — buoyed

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Tigers, Tide take over control of BCS By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Only a major upset or a dramatic shift by voters can prevent a rematch between LSU and Alabama in the BCS national championship game. The Tigers and Crimson Tide hold down the top two spots for the second straight week, and by a wide margin over third-place Oklahoma State. Stanford is fourth and Virginia Tech fifth. LSU (1.000 BCS average) is a unanimous No. 1 in both the coaches’ poll and the Harris poll, and is top-ranked in the computer ratings. Alabama (.9551) is an overwhelming No. 2 in the polls and second in the computers. Oklahoma State (.8712), with one game left against Oklahoma on Saturday, is third in the computer ratings and fifth in the polls. LSU (12-0) plays Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game on Saturday. Win that, and the Tigers earn a spot in the BCS title game Jan. 9 in New Orleans. If the Tigers lose to the Bulldogs, they still have a chance to remain in the BCS top two and play for the national title. Alabama is done with its season. Oklahoma State plays Oklahoma on Saturday, with the chance for another statement victory against a good team. But with the Cowboys fifth in both polls it

LSU unanimous No. 1 … again

NEW YORK — The voters in The Associated Press college football poll are clear on which two teams they believe are the best in the country. LSU is the unanimous No. 1 for a third consecutive week and Alabama received all the second-place votes for a second straight week. The SEC West powers are on course for a rematch in the BCS championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans. Oklahoma State moves up to No. 3 on an off week, taking advantage of Arkansas’ tumble from No. 3 to No. 6 after the Razorbacks lost 41-17 at LSU on Friday. Stanford is No. 4, just five points behind Oklahoma State. Virginia Tech is No. 5.

would take an enormous swing by voters to push them past either SEC team. While there might not be any games with national championship implications and championship weekend, plenty of BCS bids will be determined. Michigan State and Wisconsin play in the Big Ten championship game with the winner going to the Rose Bowl. Oregon and UCLA meet in the Pac-12 title game Friday night with a Rose Bowl berth on the line. The Bruins (6-6) would not even qualify for a bowl if they lose to in Eugene.

by the excitement created by James, Wade and Bosh playing together — turned a profit last season for the first time since moving into AmericanAirlines Arena more than a decade ago. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because deal details have not been announced. With a more punitive luxury tax coming as part of this new labor deal, as well as a revenue sharing plan, the Heat almost certainly will be spending more money than ever before. And that doesn’t even take into account team payrolls being set to steadily rise over the course of the deal. The Heat are apparently fine with that, the thinking being that losing money is better than losing a season — and a chance at a NBA title. If they were so inclined, they

could use the new amnesty clause to part with someone like Miller and get his $5.4 million off the cap books for this coming season, but those familiar with Miami’s plans say that’s not an option. Instead, the Heat will happily do some spending once this freeagent window opens Dec. 9, driven in part by losing the NBA finals a season ago. Joel Anthony remains in the Heat plans at center, but there’s still no shortage of quality bigman options out there, including Tyson Chandler, Nene and Samuel Dalembert, who has South Florida ties and has spoken in the past about the prospects of playing in Miami. On the wing, Grant Hill could be a potential Miami target, and Shane Battier told his Twitter followers that he’s already

Team percentages are derived by dividing a team’s actual voting points by a maximum 2875 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1475 possible points in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Six computer rankings are used to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the remaining four are added and divided to produce a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin, and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength in its formula.

Oklahoma State might be shut out of the national title game, but the Bedlam rivalry game will still determine the Big 12 champion and — at worst — a spot in the Fiesta Bowl. The Atlantic Coast Conference championship game between Clemson and Virginia Tech will determine which teams plays in the Orange Bowl. Houston can clinch its spot as

this year’s BCS buster by beating Southern Mississippi at home in the Conference USA championship game. The undefeated Cougars are sixth in the latest standings. The Big East has three teams still alive for its conference title and BCS berth: Cincinnati, Louisville and West Virginia, though none of the contenders controls the race.

Illinois fires Zook after end-of-season collapse By DAVID MERCER Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Seven years of tantalizing potential that often lead to frustrating results at Illinois ended Sunday when the school fired coach Ron Zook following his team’s historic lateseason collapse. Illinois started the season 6-0 but finished with a six-game losing streak, finishing with a 27-7 defeat at Minnesota on Saturday. According to STATS, LLC, the Illini are the first FBS team to open the regular-season with six straight wins, and close it with six losses in a row. Zook took the Illini to their first Rose Bowl since the 1980s and last season led the team to its first bowl win in more than a decade. The strong start this season had fans thinking they could contend in the Big Ten, and the Illini could still go to a bowl game. But Zook also had five losing seasons in Illinois — finishing with a 34-51 record — and leaves the Illini in a year in which their only Big Ten wins were against Northwestern and Indiana. Athletic Director Mike Thomas said Zook left Illinois football better than he found it. But Illinois, Thomas said, needs a new leader who can build a team more suited to competing in the Big Ten.

Ron Zook enters the squad room for a news conference hours after he was fired as Illinois coach on Sunday in Champaign, Ill.

“To me, really, you have to have success within your own conference,” Thomas told reporters. “The last seven years we won roughly 32 percent of our Big Ten games,” adding that Illinois had a winning record against only Indiana over that period. Thomas said he met with Zook Sunday morning and informed the coach of his decision. At his own news conference, Zook didn’t take questions, but thanked a room packed with players, family and friends for what he called seven special seasons. Occasionally stopping to gather himself. “I think our program is very close; I really do,” the 57-year-old

Zook said. “We just didn’t finish a few games here and there.” Most of the roughly two-dozen players gathered at Zook’s news conference declined questions, but senior linebacker Trulon Henry said the team believed it let Zook down through the losing streak. “I’d jump off a cliff for him,” said Henry, who Zook recruited to Illinois after Henry served time in prison for an armed robbery but will graduate at the end of the current semester. “A lot of coaches wouldn’t have brought me here.” With two years left on his contract, Zook will receive a $2.6 million buyout.

Thomas said a search will start right away to find a successor, though he wouldn’t discuss potential candidates. Defensive coordinator Vic Koenning will be interim head coach, the first-year athletic director said. Zook came to Illinois in 2005 after being fired in his third season at Florida. He replaced Ron Turner, now an Indianapolis Colts assistant coach. The 2007 season was Zook’s high point at Illinois. The Illini were Big Ten runners-up and upset an undefeated Ohio State team in Columbus that was shooting for a perfect season and a national title. But only two of Zook’s Illinois teams finished with winning records, 2007’s 9-4 squad and last year’s 7-6 Texas Bowl team. Thomas praised Zook for the elevating Illinois, which had four losing season in five years before he arrived. But Thomas, who became AD last summer, also alluded to Zook’s uneven tenure at Illinois. “It is imperative that our program shows some consistency and competes for championships, and I think a change in coaches can help us get there sooner. I wasn’t here seven years ago when Ron Zook took over as coach, but it’s clear the program is in better shape than what he inherited.”

getting sales pitches from fans in Miami, Memphis, Houston and Oklahoma City. “Let free agency begin!!!,” Battier wrote. “Thanks y’all!” Another interesting option for the Heat could be a reunion with forward Caron Butler, who was drafted10th overall by the team in 2002, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers two years later as part of the deal that brought Shaquille O’Neal to Miami. Butler said last month that he would not rule out a potential return. Of course, money will dictate just about everything. With a new CBA, even some players aren’t sure what the market value will be for free agents. And as the Heat likely will be close to the salary cap for this season, they know they’ll have to choose wisely.

This much is known: Putting this team together won’t be as massive as the overhaul that followed last year’s offseason moves. “We came together with nine new players with a big goal,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said earlier this month. “I think that’ll help us this season, the fact that we spent almost nine months together on that journey. And the journey didn’t end, it’s just beginning.” True — it’s the lockout that’s ending. Wade wrote on Twitter early Sunday that games were missed, money and jobs were lost but that his silver lining was getting to spend additional time with his family. Now a reunion with his “work” family awaits. “Glad we all are back to work,” he wrote.

NHL ROUNDUP

Spezza scores 200th as Senators top ’Canes The Associated Press

OTTAWA — Jason Spezza scored twice, including his 200th regular-season goal, to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. Spezza reached the milestone with his second goal of the game on a power play late in the first period. His first tally, a highlight-reel effort 55 seconds in, ended a personal 11-game goal drought. Erik Karlsson and Sergei Gonchar assisted on both goals. David Runblad got his first NHL goal, Zack Smith also scored and Craig Anderson made 34 saves for Ottawa, which is on a 4-1-1 run. The Senators, who closed out a six-game trip Friday with a 6-3 loss in Pittsburgh, begin a three-game trip Tuesday in Winnipeg. Eric Staal and Alexei Ponikarovsky scored in the third as Carolina twice closed to within one in the final period. Patrick Dwyer also scored for the Hurricanes, who are on a 0-2-1 skid. Cam Ward made 21 saves. Carolina has won just three of its last 13 (3-9-1). Held without a goal since Oct. 29, Spezza took no time ending his drought with a sensational individual effort in the game’s opening minute. The Ottawa center drove past Hurricanes defenseman Tim Gleason and cut across the goalmouth to stuff the puck past Ward’s left pad and into the right side of the net for his first goal in 12 games. Dwyer drew Carolina even with 4:57 to go in the first, beating Anderson over the left shoulder with a tight-angle shot from the right side for his third goal. Spezza’s 200th goal, his second of the period and eighth of the season, came off a fine setup by Sergei Gonchar. Spezza took the veteran defenseman’s pass and fired into an open side before skating to the boards to pound his fist against the glass. Anderson made a lunging glove save to deny Jeff Skinner

and protect Ottawa’s 2-1 lead midway through the second. Rundblad got his first goal in 14 games with 14 seconds left in the second. He made it 3-1 when he beat Ward with a shot from the point with 14 seconds left in the second. Milan Michalek put a shot off the post on an Ottawa power play in the third. Staal drew the Hurricanes within 3-2 moments later with his fifth goal at 6:46. Smith put Ottawa up 4-2 with his fourth goal at 12:35. Ponikarovksy cut the lead to one again with a power-play goal at 16:49. Flames 5, Wild 2 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Alex Tanguay and Jarome Iginla had third-period goals to pad Calgary’s lead and help stop a three-game losing streak for the Flames with a win over the Minnesota Wild. Matt Giordano, Lee Stempniak and T.J. Brodie scored during a furious first period, and Mikka Kiprusoff steadied himself after the early barrage to make 19 saves for the Flames. He improved to 2615-5 in his career against the Wild. Cal Clutterbuck and Nick Johnson had goals in those first 9 minutes for the Wild, but goalie Niklas Backstrom was pulled for Josh Harding after the Flames took a 3-2 lead. Blues 2, Blue Jackets 1 COLUMBUS, Ohio — David Backes scored in the third period to lift the St. Louis Blues over the Columbus Blue Jackets in coach Ken Hitchcock’s first game against his former club. Kris Russell, traded from Columbus earlier in the month, also scored for St. Louis, which is 7-1-2 since Hitchcock replaced Davis Payne on Nov. 6. Brian Elliott made 23 saves for the Blues to improve to 10-1-0 this season. Derek Dorsett scored for Columbus, which had its fivegame points streak snapped.

NEWS FOR VETERANS PLYMOUTH: The Chapel of Four Chaplains Legion of Honor recently inducted Eileen Cipriani of West Wyoming, Robert Gillette of Old Forge and Timothy Sirko of Madison Township. Jerry Pace of Old Forge nominated the three inductees. The award is given in recognition of service rendered by the individuals to persons regardless of race or religious faith. The Chapel of Four Chaplains was formed to recognize and encourage acts of volunteerism, brotherhood and sacrifice among all Americans. The ceremony was held at All Saints Parish, Plymouth, by the Rev. Robert Kelleher. The award commemorates the sacrifice of four U.S. Army Chaplains, George Fox, Methodist; Alexander Goode, Jewish; Clark Poling, Dutch Reformed; and John Washington, Roman Catholic, who gave up their life jackets to those who had none on the USS Dorchester, a World War II troop ship that sank after being torpedoed by a German submarine. WASHINGTON, D.C.: “Make the Connection,” a new campaign launched by the Department of Veterans Affairs, is creating ways for veterans and their families to connect with other veterans as well as with information and resources to help them transition from service, face health issues or navigate the complexities of civilian life. The campaign’s central focus is a web site, www.MakeTheConnection.net. It features numerous veterans who share their experiences, challenges and triumphs. For more information, visit MakeTheConnection.net or VA’s mental health services web site at www.mentalhealth.va.gov.

IN BRIEF PLAINS TWP.: The Plains Rotary Club will hold a Christmas party for township children who are physically or mentally challenged at 6 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Woodlands Inn and Resort, Route 315. The Wyoming Valley Children’s Association has mailed invitations to its clients who live in Plains Township, but if some children have not received an invitation because they are not clients, they are still welcome. The event includes live music, dinner and gifts from Santa. Parents or guardians may call Rotarian Gino Bartoli at 8221684 to make reservations. Anyone who would like to experience Rotary in action is also invited.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2011 PAGE 5C

Fiance’s adult son is always short on money but long on demands Dear Abby: My fiance and I plan to be married in the coming year. It will be the second marriage for both of us. My intended has an “adult” son I’ll call “Jeff,” who graduated from college last year and makes good money. His father has helped him out by paying his tuition, car loan, rent, a generous allowance and various other loans that have never been repaid. Jeff comes up short almost every month because he blows his money on vacations, clothing, electronic gadgets, etc., so he needs $500 to $1,000 to “get on his feet.” If his father refuses, Jeff resorts to name-calling and emotional blackmail.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE I earn a good living and have a tidy nest egg, and I’m concerned that Jeff’s irresponsibility and his father’s enabling will put a comfortable retirement for us in jeopardy. I feel like this is my business, too — but I don’t want to come between father and son. What’s your advice? — Thrifty in Wyoming Dear Thrifty: Your concerns are legitimate. Your fiance is doing his son no favors by footing the bills for his irresponsible behavior. But on some level he already knows that and may be doing it because he feels guilty

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

about the divorce from Jeff’s mother. Before marrying your fiance, discuss this with an attorney to be sure your interests will be protected. The assets you accumulated before the marriage should be kept separate, and there should be a clear understanding that any monies you earn will not benefit his son. Dear Abby: My husband and I divorced several years ago because of his cocaine habit. He had been taking money from our accounts, etc. After our divorce I met someone. It was several months before I agreed to a date. He’s honest, fun, good-looking, hardworking and helps my family when he can. My problem is on our first date he told me he’d been a drug user and had spent time in prison.

CRYPTOQUOTE

He said that was in the past. He got counseling, loves his new life and would not break the law again. My children know about his past and say, “It’s no big deal; it’s the 21st century.” We date, nothing more, but he alludes to wanting to propose. I’m afraid that when my parents and people in my small town find out about his past, they’ll be shocked and I’ll be shunned. I can’t believe this is an issue in my life again. Is it OK to date an ex-drug addict? Do some people beat the odds and stay clean? I’m scared that maybe I should have run away after that first date. Please advise. — Waiting For the Other Shoe to Drop Dear Waiting: What did this man go to prison for? Was he selling drugs to

support his habit? Stealing? Did he commit a violent crime? While your children may think his past is “no big deal,” it IS a big deal. However, whether it’s a deal-breaker is up to you. If you had thought so, it would have been over after he mentioned he’d had the same problem as your ex-husband. Some former addicts stay clean. Others have been known to backslide. If you love this man and he maintains his sobriety, consider his proposal sometime in the future. 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.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your day will be uneven. If the mood starts to take a turn for the worse, you can steer it back to a positive place. Just remember what you were doing when things were going right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A difference of opinion will arise, and you really need to work it out in order to make your life run smoothly. Instead of debating, agree to flip a coin. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll find it remarkably easy to take hold of situations and guide them in the direction you want to go. You will be warm and patient, bringing out the best in others. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you’re having fun with your work, you’ll get more accomplished. Put the fun in consciously, or you’ll be led off course by far less interesting distractions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You recognize that things are working according to a system. You’re willing to learn the system because it’s interesting to you and also because you sense the advantage this will give you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In order to see a person, you must be able to look beyond the mask. But most people won’t let you pull their mask away. If you’re disarming, they will drop it long enough for you to get a glimpse. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your friendliness will make you a candidate for a leadership position. You’ll have an easy time assembling the right team for a job. People want to please you because it seems reasonably easy to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you look ahead and plan for any kind of weather, it really won’t matter if it rains on your parade. People will come anyway. They’ll bring their umbrellas, and the band will march on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll chip away at a problem. When you get instruction in the matter, you’ll only hear what you can understand. Try to note when you’re not getting it so that you can circle around later and crack the code. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You wish you could be there to make another person happy, safe and protected at every turn. You can’t. No one can do this for another person at all times. Trust your best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People around you are more concerned with being cool than they are with bettering themselves and their situation. You want a better life, and you’re willing to work toward getting it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s excitement ahead. It wouldn’t be happening like this had you not been willing to make a change many weeks back. Your spirit of adventure is commendable. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 28). Though you can be remarkably tenderhearted, your year will be characterized by mental and physical toughness. You’ll apply tenacity to make money. January brings happy family news. Your environment gets a makeover in May. Gemini and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 39 and 18.
