DEAL REACHED
NBA owners and players

reached a tentative
agreement early Sat-
urday morning to end the
149-day lockout. After a
secret meeting earlier
this week, the sides met
for more than 15 hours
Friday, working to try to
save the season. Weve
reached a tentative un-
derstanding that is sub-
ject to a variety of ap-
provals and very complex
machinations, but were
optimistic that will all
come to pass and that
the NBA season will begin
Dec. 25, Commissioner
David Stern said.

HICKSHINNY Why come
back? How many times can
you start over?
Theyre reasonable ques-
tions to ask residents and
business owners in a small town with
limited resources that has been flooded
out numerous times over the last 40
years, the most devastating event this
past September.
Clarence Lewis wants to live in a
town made special by its sense of com-
munity.
You cant go to Philadelphia, you
cant go to Allentown, you cant go to
Wilkes-Barre as we knowit andsit down
in the coffee shop and talk to the baker
or the people who own it and say, We
want a doughnut named Flood Mud.
And the next thing you know, everybo-
dy is coming in asking for those things.
Its the (sense of) family thats coming
out, Lewis said.
Pizza shop owner Jim Houseknecht
likes that the town is small and safe, yet
busy enough to support his livelihood.
The answers are a little different for
everyone, but they follow a common
theme a strong thread that seems to
weave through this river town commu-
Shickshinny
on the mend

spirits high

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
JimHouseknecht says he will reopen his business, J. Angelos New York Pizza. He opened the shop three years ago. Houseknecht
says he likes Shickshinny and will never leave.
WE COULD HAVE a fire
that devastates the town.
We could have sinkholes
open up. For the love of
God, we had an earth-
quake. You have to deal
with it. There is no abso-
lute safe place. So why
would you not be where
you feel youre the hap-
piest?

SHICKSHINNY Borough resi-
dents might be wondering just who
those people in polo shirts wandering
through their community are and
why theyre passing out fliers.
They are the members of the Feder-
al Emergency Man-
agement Agencys

nity Recovery Team,
and theyre here to
help the town make
a comeback, said
team leader Shea
Christilaw.

After a day of long lines and
big boxes, shoppers in Luzerne
County thought small yesterday.
Locally-owned businesses
took part in Small Business Sat-
urday, a shopping holiday creat-
ed last year by American Ex-
press as a mom-and-pop alterna-
tive to Black Friday.
Through an online and televi-
sion advertising campaign the
credit-card provider encouraged
shoppers to buy from local
stores. It also purchased adver-
tising space on Facebook for
small businesses and offered a
$25 credit to cardholders charg-
ing $25 or more to an AmEx
card at participating stores.
The plug seemed to help local
retailers, who did a brisk busi-
ness Saturday.
Thats why were here; to sup-
port the area, said shopper
Brandy Butler of Courtdale as
she shopped with family mem-
bers at The Blue Hydrangea in
Dallas. We decided we were go-
ing to support small businesses
today.
Store owner Barbara Eisen-
hart said she timed a 20-percent-
off sale at The Blue Hydrangea
to coincide with the shopping
holiday.
We try to keep our customers
in the Back Mountain if we can,
she said.
A large sign outside The Flow-
er Warehouse on Rutter Avenue
in Kingston promoted the holi-
day, encouraging passers-by to
shop small Saturday.
A lot of people have come in

Leslie Goleneski, a customer at 3 Sisters Jewelry Store in King-
ston, talks about the Small Business Saturday campaign.
For about 40 local men, the
evening and early morning of
Jan. 2 and 3, 1920 was unforget-
table.
Over several hours beginning
late at night, federal agents --
along with Wilkes-Barre police --
raided two hotels and numerous
private homes in the city, arrest-
ing men they proclaimed com-
munist radicals, bent on over-
throwing the
American gov-
ernment.
Wilkes-
Barre is a
hotbed of these
radicals in
Pennsylvania,
the Sunday In-
dependent
newspaper re-
ported author-
ities as saying.
Agents also
confiscated a
large quantity
of soviet literature, the paper re-
ported, adding that the raids had
been meticulously planned far in
advance.
While many living Americans
recall the so-called communist
witch hunt of the early 1950s,
led by U.S. Sen. Joseph McCar-
thy, the 1920 campaign led by a
high-ranking U.S. government of-
ficial who was born in Luzerne
County has pretty much faded in-

WASHINGTON Presi-
dent Barack Obama has
pitched in to help small
businesses get into the holi-
day shopping season.
The president took his
daughters, Malia and
Sasha, along on a shopping
run to a bookstore a few
blocks from the White
House.
He says he made the visit
because its small business
Saturday and he wanted to
support a small business.
The retail industry is en-
couraging shoppers to pa-
tronize mom-and-pop busi-
nesses on the Saturday af-
ter Thanksgiving. Its a
counterpoint to Black Fri-
day and the sales and spe-
cial deals offered by depart-
ment stores and other large
retailers.
The Obamas walked out
with a selection of books in-
cluding The Invention of
Hugo Cabret, Diary of a
Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever
and Descent into Chaos:
The U.S. and the Disaster
in Pakistan, Afghanistan,
and Central Asia.

It was another long night of
hard rock and heavy metal at the
Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey
Plaza onSaturday, but this time it
was by design.
Unlike Sundaynights perform-
ance by Guns N Roses, which
never got started until 11:15 p.m.
and carried on until the wee
hours of Monday morning, Satur-
days Share The Welt tour with
headliners Five Finger Death
Punch and three other bands was
supposed to take all night.
Instead of having the crowd
stand around all evening waiting
for something to happen, this
show provided almost five hours
of hard-hitting, fist-pumping
rock.
Rains, a quartet from Indiana
led by singer Jeff Rains, got
things started with a short and
spiritedset highlightedbyits two
singles Liar and Look in My
Eyes.
Next upwas Hatebreed, a quin-
tet from Wallingford, Conn.,
which has released six albums
since 1997, including a pair in
2009. The group featuring vocal-
ist Jamey Jasta and the twin-gui-
tar attack of Wayne Lozinak and
Frank Novinec took the stage to
the strains of Andy Williams Its
The Most Wonderful Time of the
Year and proceeded to
pummel the crowd with
its high octane hardcore
metal. The general-ad-
mission section of the
arena floor became a gi-
ant mosh pit as the band
unleashed nuggets such
as This Is Now andBe-
fore Dishonor.
All That Remains, a
quintet from Springfield,
Mass., followed with an
intense set of its slightly
more melodic metal. The band
consisting of vocalist Philip La-
bonte, guitarists Oli Herbert and
Mike Martin, bassist Jeanne Sa-
gan and drummer Jason Costa
has released five albums since
2002, and its latest, 2010s For
We Are Many, reached No. 10 on
the Billboard 200.
Highlights of All That Re-
mains performance on Saturday
included crowd-pleasing ver-
sions of Forever in Your Hands,
The Last Time and The Wait-
ing One.
Due to an early deadline and a
late start time by the headliners
(the band was not scheduled to
hit the stage until 10:30 Saturday
night), a review of the perform-
ance by Five Finger
Death Punch was not
available at press time.
Five Finger Death
Punch was formed in
Los Angeles in 2005
and released its debut
album The Way of the
Fist in 2007. The
groups second album,
War is the Answer
from 2009, contained
four Top 10 hits on the
Billboard Mainstream
Rock chart. Its latest album,
American Capitalist, was re-
leased in October. The records
first single, Under and Over It,
is the bands first Hot 100 hit, top-
ping out at No. 77.
The Share The Welt tour
moves on to Sayreville, N.J., to-
night. Country stars Lady Ante-
bellum will be at the Mohegan
Sun Arena on Dec. 16.

WILKES-BARRE Blowing out the can-
dles on his Godzilla birthday cake Saturday,
7-year-old Nicholas Humen, of Mountain
Top didnt mind that he wouldnt be taking
home any of the presents piled on a nearby
table.
After learning that so many children who
were affected by the September flooding
lost their toys, Nicholas wantedtohelp, said
his mom, Katina, 38.
We have so many toys already, and with
Christmas falling on the heels of his birth-
day, we thought it would be a good idea,
Katina said in the party roomat the YMCA.
Hes a really nice boy and very caring, so
when I asked himabout it, he was up for it.
Nicholas dad, Michael, also 38, said he
worried his son would go back on his word
when invitations went out a fewweeks ago.
Twenty-five of Nicholas friends from Cub
Scouts and school attended the party.
We try to teach our children, the more
you give, the more you get, he said. The
couplealsohas a5-year-olddaughter, Maria.
In return for his generosity and kindness,
Nicholas was presented a certificate by Na-
vy and Marine volunteers fromthe Toys for
Tots, Wyoming Detachment Branch.
Its amazing that he would actually do-
nate all of his toys to the Toys for Tots pro-
gram, said Navy Medical Corpsman Rafael
Castillo. I hope its something hell remem-
berI know I will.

Barnes & Nobles childrens
section at the Arena Hub
Plaza was alive on Saturday
afternoon with adults and
children enjoying a sneak
peek of Ballet Northeasts
"The Nut-
cracker."
The
event was
well at-
tended
through-
out the af-
ternoon as
the holi-
day pre-
sentation
was re-
peated
several
times to the delight of the
audience. Dancers from the
performance also took the
opportunity to read The
Nutcracker to the children
assembled, familiarizing
them with the basics of the
story.

WYOMING Sirens blared at sun-
down Saturday as the Santa parade
rolled through town.
A Martz bus led the parade of fire
trucks and ambulances from surround-
ing municipalities up and down several
blocks before stopping at the Butler
Street Park for the boroughs sixth an-
nual tree lighting ceremony.
The park was in full holiday mode as
childrensangChristmas carols under il-
luminated trees.
With the help of Mayor Robert Boyer,
Santa climbedout of his sleighandgave
highfives tothe kids as he made his way
into the center of the park. A mass of
children swarmed around Santa as he
settled onto a bench in front of the bor-
ough tree.
With his 5-year-old great-grand-
daughter Arianna pulling on his arm in
a frenzied rush to meet the big guy, Do-
naldJohnson, 78, of Exeter triedtonavi-
gate through the crowd.
I didnt know this was going on, he
said. I came just to take her to the
park.
The boroughs recreation board,
which sponsored the event, provided
cookies, hot chocolate and candy canes
for the children.
Proceeds from a basket raffle, as well
as donations, help defray the cost of
lighting, Boyer said, adding that volun-
teers are badly needed for the recre-
ation board.
With the weather being so nice, this
turnout was larger than normal, he
said.

Deaths tied to Craigslist ad
A body found in a shallow grave in
northeast Ohio was that of a man mis-
sing more than a week who answered a
deadly Craigslist ad that police say
lured victims into a robbery, a medical
examiner said Saturday.
Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon, was
last seen Nov. 13 after driving to Akron
for a job he called a good offer but
strange. Kern died of gunshot wounds
to the head, the Summit County Med-
ical Examiners office said.
Kern answered the same ad for a
farmhand that authorities say led to
the shooting death of Norfolk, Va.,
resident David Pauley, 51, in a rural
area 90 miles south of Akron. A South
Carolina man reported answering the
ad but managed to escape after being
shot Nov. 6.
The discovery of Kerns body Friday
near the Rolling Acres shopping mall in
Akron came just a few hours before the
sheriff in Noble County in southeastern
Ohio announced that another body had
been found in a shallow grave there.
If the two bodies discovered Friday
are both linked to Pauleys case, that
would bring to three the number of
deaths associated with the phony
Craigslist ad.
TEHRAN
Iran warns against attack
Iran will target NATOs missile de-
fense installations in Turkey if the U.S.
or Israel attacks the Islamic Republic, a
senior commander of Irans powerful
Revolutionary Guard said Saturday.
Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of
the Guards aerospace division, said
the warning is part of a new defense
strategy to counter what he described
as an increase in threats from the U.S.
and Israel.
Tensions have been rising between
Iran and the West since the release of a
report earlier this month by the In-
ternational Atomic Energy Agency that
said for the first time that Tehran was
suspected of conducting secret experi-
ments whose sole purpose was the
development of nuclear arms.
CAIRO
Security, protesters clash
Fresh clashes between security
forces and Egyptian protesters de-
manding the military step down broke
out Saturday in front of the Cabinet
building, leaving one man dead, as
violence threatened to overshadow
next weeks parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, Field Marshal Hussein
Tantawi, the head of the ruling military
council that took power after Hosni
Mubarak was ousted in February, met
separately with opposition leader and
Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBa-
radei and presidential hopeful Amr
Moussa, who was the former head of
the Arab League. Egyptian state TV
reported the meetings but gave no
details.
CHESTERTOWN, MD.
Frosty in heated dispute
Who says Frosty the Snowman has
to be jolly?
A man in a Frosty the Snowman
costume was arrested Saturday during
the annual Christmas parade in Ches-
tertown, on Marylands Eastern Shore.
Hes accused of scuffling with police
and kicking at a police dog.
Sgt. John A. Dolgos tells The Star
Democrat of Easton that 52-year-old
Kevin Michael Walsh became agitated
when a dog-handling officer tried to
escort him away from the crowd.
Walsh said he was wrongfully arrest-
ed. He said an officer hassled him after
he made a joke about the police dogs
presence at the parade.

VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict
XVI insisted on Saturday that all of so-
cietys institutions and not just the Ca-
tholic Church must be held to exact-
ing standards in their response to sex
abuse of children, and he defended the
churchs efforts to confront the prob-
lem.
Benedict acknowledged in remarks
to visiting U.S. bishops during an audi-
ence at the Vatican that pedophilia was
a scourge for society, and that dec-
ades of scandals over clergy abusing
children had left Catholics in the Unit-
ed States bewildered.
It is my hope that the Churchs con-
scientious efforts to confront this real-
ity will help the broader community to
recognize the causes, true extent and
devastating consequences of sexual
abuse, and to respond effectively to this
scourge which affects every level of so-
ciety, he said.
By the same token, just as the
church is rightly held to exacting stan-
dards in this regard, all other institu-
tions, without exception, should be
held to the same standards, the pope
said.
An official of a U.S. group advocating
for victims of clergy abuse lamented
that Benedict, with his remarks, was
setting a terrible example for bish-
ops.
No public figure talks more about
child safety but does little to actually
make children safer than Pope Bene-
dict, David Clohessy, national director
of the Survivors Network of those
Abused by Priests, told The Associated
Press in an emailed statement.
The pope would have us believe that
this crisis is about sex abuse. It isnt. It
is about covering up sex abuse, Clo-
hessy said. And while child sex crimes
happen in every institution, in no insti-
tution are they ignored or concealed as
consistently as in the Catholic church.
The pedophile scandal has exploded
in recent decades in the United States,
but similar clergy sex abuse revelations
have tainted the church in many other
countries, including Mexico, Ireland,
and several other European nations, in-
cluding Italy.

ISLAMABAD Pakistan on
Saturday blocked vital supply
routes for U.S.-led troops in Af-
ghanistan and demanded Wash-
ington vacate a base used by
American drones after coalition
aircraft allegedly killed 24 Pakis-
tani troops at two posts along a
mountainous frontier that serves
as a safe haven for militants.
The incident was a major blow
to American efforts to rebuild an
already tattered alliance vital to
winding down
the 10-year-old
Afghan war. Is-
lamabad called
the bloodshed
in one of its
tribal areas a
grave infringe-
ment of the
countrys sover-
eignty, and it
could make it
even more diffi-
cult for the U.S. to enlist Pakis-
tans help in pushing Afghan in-
surgents to engage inpeace talks.
ANATOspokesmansaidit was
likely that coalition airstrikes
caused Pakistani casualties, but
an investigation was being con-
ducted to determine the details.
If confirmed, it would be the
deadliest friendly fire incident by
NATO against Pakistani troops
since the Afghanwar begana dec-
ade ago.
A prolonged closure of Pakis-
tans two Afghan border cross-
ings to NATO supplies could
cause serious problems for the
coalition. The U.S., which is the
largest member of the NATO
force in Afghanistan, ships more
than 30 percent of its non-lethal
supplies through Pakistan. The
coalition has alternative routes
through Central Asia into north-
ernAfghanistan, but they are cos-
tlier and less efficient.
Pakistan temporarily closed
one of its Afghancrossings toNA-
TO supplies last year after U.S.
helicopters accidentally killed
two Pakistani soldiers. Suspect-
ed militants took advantage of
the impasse to launch attacks
against stranded or rerouted
trucks carrying NATO supplies.

LOS ANGELES Despite
a fast-approaching deadline
set by the mayor and police
chief, very few of the anti-
Wall Street protesters from
Occupy Los Angeles have be-
gun breaking down their
tents on the City Hall lawn
and most say they dont
intend to.
The Occupy LA encamp-
ment was abuzz with activity
Saturday, but nearly all of it
was aimed at how to deal
with authorities come Mon-
days 12:01 a.m. deadline.
Some handed out signs ad-
vertising a Monday morning
eviction block party.
Others held a teach-in on
resistance tactics, including
how to deal with rubber bul-
lets and pepper spray.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigo-
sa announced Friday that de-
spite his sympathy for the
protesters cause, it was time
for the camp of nearly 500
tents to leave for the sake of
public health and safety.

JAKARTA, Indonesia
Search-and-rescue teams were
lookingfor survivors Sunday af-
ter a busy bridge collapsed in
central Indonesia, killing at
least four people and leaving
scores missing as a bus, cars
and motorcycles
crashed into the
river below.
Sutopo Purwo
Nugroho, a
spokesman for
the countrys di-
saster manage-
ment agency, said
the sprawling
concrete bridge
on the remote is-
land of Borneo
was being re-
paired when Sat-
urdays accident occurred.
Workers were tightening
screws and bolts when a steel
support cable snapped and the
bridge, which was less than 10
years old, came smashing
down.
Four bodies were pulledfrom
the water, including a 6-month-
old baby, and 19 people were
rushed to the hospital with in-
juries, said police Capt. Syafii
Nafsikin.
Scores of people including
six of the repair workers
were missing.
The 770-yard (700-meter)
structure built to resemble
the Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco
linked the
towns of
Tenggarong
and Samarin-
da in East Ka-
limantan
province.
It was
clogged with
traffic when
the accident
occurred,
Syaiful, a wit-
ness, told lo-
cal television station TVOne.
He saw at least one bus and
close to a dozen motorcycles
plunge into the Mahakamriver.
Several cars were mangled.
Everyone was screaming,
said Syaiful, who like many In-
donesians uses only one name.
Some survivors were swim-
ming to the shore in panic.

BOGOTA, Colombia Col-
ombias main rebel group killed
four of its longest-held captives,
apparently during combat Sat-
urday between soldiers and
guerrillas, the government said.
A fifth captive fled into the jun-
gle and survived.
President Juan Manuel San-
tos called the killing of a soldier
and three police officers a
crime against humanity and
dismissed any suggestions that
Colombias armed forces might
be responsible.
They were held hostage for
between 12 and 13 years and
wound up cruelly murdered,
Santos said.
Defense Minister Juan Carlos
Pinzon initially announced the
deaths, then said hours later
that the fifth rebel prisoner, po-
lice Sgt. Luis Alberto Erazo,
had survived. Erazo, 48, had
been held by the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia, or
FARC for nearly 12 years.
Pinzon said government
troops had been in the area for
45 days chasing rebels and had
intelligence the guerrillas might
be holding police and soldiers
as captives.
No official explained the na-
ture and reliability of that in-
telligence or whether the four
died in a failed rescue mission.
All four men were killed exe-
cution-style, three with shots to
the head and one with two
shots to the back, Santos told a
community meeting in central
Colombia.
Neither the president nor Pin-
zon, who did not take questions
from reporters, said whether
the four were killed Saturday.
Pinzon said the bodies were
found together, with chains
near them.
He said Erazo fled into the
jungle chased by three rebels
who threw grenades, wounding
him slightly in the face. Erazo
emerged from hiding after dusk
when he heard chain saws cut-
ting a clearing so helicopters
could land, Pinzon added.
It is standing policy of the
FARC to kill its prisoners to
prevent their rescue. And the
rebels frequently chain their
captives.
The sister of one of the vic-
tims, 34-year-old police Maj. El-
kin Hernandez, was angry with
the government.
The FARC are murderers for
the manner in which they killed
them, and the government is
equally a murderer. They had
the possibility to get them out
of there, and they didnt, Mar-
garita Hernandez told The As-
sociated Press.

The soldier and three police
officers were held hostage for
between 12 and 13 years.

pany that is hiring only military
veterans for its installation crews
at a time when unemployment
among former service members
is outpacing that of civilians.
Tipping Points efforts echo
those of companies and groups
nationwide to hire veterans in
the green energy industry. Den-

Green Jobs is one of the largest,
having trained or placed 370 vet-

The veteran unemployment

NEW YORK Pepper-
sprayed customers, smash-and-
grab looters and bloody scenes in
the shopping aisles. How did
Black Friday devolve into this?
As reports of shopping-related
violence rolled in this week from
Los Angeles to
New York, experts
say a volatile mix of
desperate retailers
and cutthroat mar-
keting has hyped
the traditional post-
Thanksgiving sales
to increasingly
frenzied levels.
With stores open-
ing earlier, bargain-
obsessed shoppers
often are sleep-de-
prived and short-
tempered. Arriving
indarkness, theyal-
so find themselves
vulnerable to savvy
parking-lot muggers.
Add in the online-coupon phe-
nomenon, which feeds the psy-
chological hunger for finding im-
possible bargains, and youve got
a recipe for trouble, said Theresa
Williams, a marketing professor
at Indiana University.
These are people who should
know better and have enough
stuff already, Williams said.
Whats going to be next year, ev-
erybody getting Tasered?
Across the country on Thurs-
day and Friday, there were signs
that tensions had ratcheted up a
notch or two, with violence re-
sulting in several instances.
A woman turned herself in to
police after allegedly pepper-
spraying 20 other customers at a
Los Angeles-area Walmart on
Thursday in what investigators
said was an at-
tempt to get at a
crate of Xbox vid-
eo game consoles.
In Kinston, N.C., a
security guard al-
so pepper-sprayed
customers seeking
electronics before
the start of a mid-
night sale.
In New York,
crowds reportedly
looted a clothing
store in Soho. At a
Walmart near
Phoenix, a man
was bloodied
while being sub-
dued by police officer on suspi-
cion of shoplifting a video game.
There was a shooting outside a
store inSanLeandro, Calif., shots
firedat amall inFayetteville, N.C.
and a stabbing outside a store in
Sacramento, N.Y.
Thedifferencethis year is that
instead of a nice sweater you
need a bullet proof vest and gog-
gles, said Betty Thomas, 52,
who was shopping Saturday with
her sisters anda niece at Crabtree
Valley Mall in Raleigh, N.C.
The wave of violence revived
memories of the 2008 Black Fri-
day stampede that killed an em-
ployee and put a pregnant wom-
aninthe hospital at a Walmart on
NewYorks Long Island. Walmart
spokesman Greg Rossiter said
Black Friday 2011 was safe at
most of its nearly 4,000 U.S.
stores despite a fewunfortunate
incidents.
Black Friday named that be-
cause it puts retailers in the
black has become more in-
tense as companies compete for
customers in a weak economy,
said Jacob Jacoby, an expert on
consumer behavior at New York
University.
The idea of luringincustomers
witha fewdoorbuster deals has
long been a staple of the post-
Thanksgiving sales. But now
stores are opening earlier, and
those deals are getting more ex-
treme, he said.
Theres an awful lot of psy-
chology going on here, Jacoby
said. Theres the notion of scar-
city when somethings scarce
its more valued. And a resource
that can be very scarce is time: If
youdont get there intime, its go-
ing to be gone.
Theres also a new factor, Wil-
liams said: the rise of coupon
websites like Groupon and Li-
vingSocial, the online equiva-
lents of doorbusters that usually
deliver a single, one-day offer
with savings of up to 80 percent
on museum tickets, photo por-
traits, yoga classes and the like.
The services encourage im-
pulse buying and an obsession
with bargains, Williams said,
while also getting businesses
hooked on quick infusions of cus-
tomers.
The whole notion of getting a
deal, thats all weve seen for the
last two years, Williams said.
Its about stimulating consum-
ers quick reactions. How do we
get their attention quickly? How
do we create cash flow for to-
day?
To grab customers first, some
stores are opening late on
Thanksgiving Day, turning bar-
gain-hunting froman early-morn-
ing activity into an all-night slog,
said Ed Fox, a marketing profes-
sor at Southern Methodist Uni-
versity in Dallas. Midnight shop-
ping puts everyone on edge and
also makes shoppers targets for
muggers, he said.
In fact, robbery appeared to be
the motive behind the shooting
in San Leandro, about 15 miles
east of San Francisco. Police said
robbers shot a victim as he was
walking to a car with his purchas-
es around 1:45 a.m. on Friday.
There are so many hours now
where people are shopping in the
darkness that it provides cover
for people who are going to try to
steal or rob those who are out in
numbers, Fox said.
The violence has prompted
some analysts to wonder if the
sales are worth it, and what solu-
tions might work.
In a New York Times column
this week, economist Robert
Frank proposed slapping a 6 per-
cent sales tax on purchases be-
tween 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving
and 6 a.m. on Friday in an at-
tempt to stop the arms race of
earlier and earlier sales.
Small retailers, meanwhile, are
pushing so-calledSmall Business
Saturday to woo customers who
are turned off by the Black Friday
crush. President Barack Obama
even joined in, going book shop-
ping on Saturday at a small book-
store a fewblocks fromthe White
House.
How much crazier can Black Friday get?

to history.
Nationwide on that one night,
nearly 5,000 people alleged to be
dangerous communists, many of
them immigrants from eastern
European countries, were round-
ed up with the aim of determin-
ing if they should be jailed or de-
ported once they were convict-
ed.
The government official in
charge of those January 1920
raids was the attorney general of
the United States, A. Mitchell
Palmer, a native of Luzerne
County and who cut his political
teeth in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia.
Historical movie
In the new movie J. Edgar,
the story of former FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover, actor Geoff Pier-
son plays Palmer.
In his days as head of the Jus-
tice Department, Palmer was an
early mentor of Hoover, who
wouldlater become famous inhis
own right as a crime fighter and a
pursuer of real or suspected rad-
icals.
Alexander Mitchell Palmer, ac-
cording to numerous sources,
was born at Moosehead, Denni-
son Township, Luzerne County.
He grew up and attended school
in Stroudsburg, Monroe County,
receiving a degree from Swarth-
more College, near Philadelphia,
and beginning the practice of law
in Stroudsburg.
Becoming active in the Demo-
cratic Party, he won election to
the U.S. House of Representa-
tives in1908, holding the seat un-
til he relinquished it in 1912.
He impressed party leaders so
much that at the Democratic
Convention that year he rejected
a bid to run for president himself,
instead throwing his support to
Woodrow Wilson. His reward
was an offer to become secretary
of war, but he declined it and re-
turned to Stroudsburg and his
law practice. He ran for a U.S.
Senate seat in 1914 but lost.
In 1917, as the United States
entered World War I, President
Wilson named Palmer his Alien
Property Custodian, in which ca-
pacity he took over, administered
and sold German property in
America. Two years later, Wilson
named him attorney general, the
chief law enforcement officer in
the nation.
Red Scare
By that time, America had en-
tered an era that historians call
the Red Scare. The
1917 Bolshevik Revo-
lution in Russia and
the creation of a so-
cialist state there
sparked fears of so-
cialist uprisings in
other countries.
Many Americans
were looking with
fear at the strong tide
of immigration, par-
ticularly from eastern European
nations. Their concern was that
the newcomers might include
dangerous radicals and revolu-
tionaries and that, with the bless-
ing of socialists abroad, they
would try to destabilize the
American government and over-
throw capitalism and Christiani-
ty.
Palmer, taking over his new
post in March, moved quickly
andmade it clear that his priority
wouldbefightingradicals. Oneof
his early acts was to create the
radical division within the Jus-
tice Department, naming the ag-
gressive 24-year-old J. Edgar
Hoover to head it.
Some arrests under Palmers
direction were made in Novem-
ber 1919. But on Jan. 2, 1920, the
action was strong and sweeping.
Starting that evening and ex-
tending into the
morning hours, fed-
eral agents swooped
down on suspected
meeting places of
radicals in about 40
cities of various siz-
es, mostly in the
Northeast, arresting
thousands of people
believed to be com-
munist radicals.
Numerous people were taken
into custody at a North Washing-
ton Street hotel, and at another
hotel on East Market Street, both
in Wilkes-Barre.
Meetings were in progress in
both places, agents told the In-
dependent. City police officers
fluent in foreign languages ac-
companied the raiders as inter-
preters. Then the agents moved
ontothe homes of additional sus-
pects, arresting the occupants.
Newcomers of eastern Europe-
andescent were the maintargets.
The federal authorities told re-
porters the Communist Party in
Chicago had issued four official
organizational charters for the
Wilkes-Barre areas Russian, Pol-
ish, UkrainianandLithuanianim-
migrants. The Communist Party,
authorities said, has a member-
ship of nearly 4,000 spread
through Wyoming Valley.
Suchraids shouldhave beenno
surprise to anyone who had read
Palmers 1920 publication, The
Case against the Reds, where in
colorful prose he outlined his be-
liefs andsaidonly quick anddras-
tic action would save America
from destruction.
Wrote Palmer, Like a prairie-
fire, the blaze of revolution was
sweeping over every American
institutionof lawandorder a year
ago. It was eating its way into the
homes of the American work-
men, its sharp tongues of revolu-
tionary heat were licking the al-
tars of the churches, leaping into
the belfry of the school bell, craw-
ling into the sacred corners of
American homes, seeking to re-
place marriage vows with liber-
tine laws, burning up the founda-
tions of society.
Arrest and deport
The best remedy, he conclud-
ed, was arrest and prompt de-
portation.
The 40 people arrested in the
Wilkes-Barre area were taken to
the Luzerne County prison for
Sunday morning hearings, where
a federal immigration officer
checked on their legal status.
Those found guilty were to be
shipped to the immigration facil-
ity at Ellis Island, NewYork, with
the goal of putting themon ships
dubbed by federal authorities
anarchist arks and sent back to
their home countries in Europe.
Palmers aggressive style soon
drew criticism almost as soon as
he took over the attorney general
post. Many people inhis ownpar-
ty were shocked that a liberal
Democrat and ally of the idealist
President Wilson would virtually
ignore civil liberties with mid-
night raids and arrests.
Union leaders, who supported
the Democrats, complained their
members were being targeted by
the party theyd thought was
their ally. In mid-1919, Palmers
home in Washington, D.C., was
bombed, though he was not in-
jured.
While the Red Scare would
continue for some time, Palmer
left the attorney generals office
in March1920, just 366 days after
taking the job.
He evidently had another goal.
Three months later at the Demo-
cratic National Conventionhe
sought his partys presiden-
tial nomination. Although he
ran strong in early balloting, on
the 38th ballot the Democrats fi-
nally chose James M. Cox, who
would go on to lose to Repub-
lican Warren G. Harding
in November.
Palmer didnot run
for office again. But
he remained in
Washington and
continued to
participate in
Democratic
politics, help-
ing to write the
party platforms
for 1932 and
1936, with Dem-
ocrat Franklin D.
Roosevelt win-
ning both times.
He died in 1936.
Hes buriedat a cem-
etery in Stroudsburg.
Appointee to icon
Palmers young em-
ployee J. Edgar Hoov-
er would go on to
head the new Federal
Bureau of Investiga-
tion and have an
even larger career.
He became an iconic fig-
ure for the bureaus crime
fighting during the era of
prohibition (1920-33), and
succeeding presidents al-
lowed himto remain in the
post. So powerful and pop-
ular a figure was Hoover, in
fact, that President Lyn-
don B. Johnson in the
1960s even waived federal retire-
ment rules for him.
Though Hoovers popular im-
age was that of anintrepidbattler
against crime and subversion, his
FBI was criticized in the turbu-
lent 1960s for investigating seem-
ingly innocuous people such as
entertainers and athletes for sus-
pected radicalism.
Hoover died, still in office, in
1972. With his death, the Justice
Departments last connection to
the turbulent days of A. Mitchell
Palmer andthe RedScare of 1919-
1920 was gone.

name and all remain-
ing remnants from
the premises. That
was the easy part.
Now comes the
much harder task of
establishing their
own brand for the ca-
sino now known as
the Golden Nugget
Atlantic City. Hous-
ton-based Landrys
Restaurants bought
the casino-hotel for
$38 million about a tenth of
what former owners Trump En-
tertainment Resorts nearly got
for it just two years earlier. But
that sale fell throughandAtlantic
City casino values collapsed as
the economy headed south.
Tilman Fertitta, the billionaire
owner of Landrys which also
owns Golden Nuggets in Las Ve-
gas and Lauglin, Nev. got busy
right awayona $150millionreno-
vation and re-branding he views
as crucial to establishing the
Golden Nuggets own identity in
Atlantic City.
Every single inch is being tou-
ched, he said. The building is
going tolook brandnewwhenits
finished. If you took someone
who hadnt been in there since
last year, blindfolded them and
led them into the building now,
they wont knowwhere they are.
The casinos motto quickly be-
came Out with the old, in with
the Gold. With its aging brick
exterior and uninspiring institu-
tional design, Trump Marina had
long been derided as looking like
a hospital since short-
ly after it opened in
1985 as Trumps Cas-
tle. First togowere the
giant Trump Marina
signs bolted to the
sides of the building.
The weathered brick
was painted gold, and
golden banners were
unfurled at the main
entrance.
Inside, the casinore-
mains a whirl of con-
structionactivity. Ona
recent visit, workers
had several areas cor-
doned off as they built
new attractions, rewired electri-
cal fixtures and reconfigured cor-
ridors. The main entrance was
buried behind construction vehi-
cles, cones and barrels.
Lets call it a work in pro-
gress, saidKarenHudekof Mon-
roe, Conn., who spent a recent
weekend there. Theres a lot go-
ing on.
She was pleased with her ac-
commodations.
The rooms were clean and
they came in punctually to clean
themevery day, she said. I read
some bad reviews of this place on
the Internet, so Im going to go
home and correct that.
Yet shes not sure shedgoback,
at least right away.
Theres a lot of other places on
the Boardwalk Id want to go to
first, she said.
Willie Williams of Atlanta also
enjoyed his first trip to the Gold-
en Nugget.
Sofar its reallygood, he said.
The rooms are real nice. Theyre
doing a lot here.
Fertitta agrees.
Its definitely a construction
zone, but we try very hard not to
interfere with the guests, he
said. A lot of people like the ex-
citement when youre building.
Whats not building, at least so
far, is the Golden Nuggets casino
revenue. In October, the casino
took in just over $9 million, a de-
cline of 28.3 percent from Oct.
2010. It averaged less than
$300,000 a day, compared with
over $400,000 a year ago.
For the first 10 months of this
year, the Golden Nugget is dead
last in casino revenue in Atlantic
City. Its $106.1 million take is
down15.4 percent fromthe same
period last year.
Yet Fertitta is unfazed, saying
he is focused on increasing over-
all profitability by controlling ex-
penses, particularly by refusing
to join an expensive arms race
with larger casinos to throwcost-
ly promotional spending at pro-
spective customers.
We dont buy business, he
said. He alluded to a promotion
used earlier in the year by Re-
sorts Casino Hotel, which is also
struggling to build its business
volumes. I can go give rooms
away for 20 dollars, but that has
never been my philosophy, Fer-
titta said.
When we bought the Golden
Nugget Las Vegas in 2005, I took
the revenue down and the (earn-
ings) up, he said. Some of the
business weve lost is business
where they (Trump Entertain-
ment Resorts) just gave themtoo
much. We just dont do that. Last
summer they lost $3 million; this
summer we made $2.5 million.
Thats a pretty nice swing.
The casino had a gross operat-
ing profit of $2.1 million for July,
August and September, com-
pared with just $247,000 for the
same period last year when
Trump owned it.
The rebranding returns the
Golden Nugget name to Atlantic
City, althoughinadifferent build-
ing unrelated to the original
Golden Nugget, which operated
from1980 to 1987 in what is now
ACH, the former Atlantic City
Hilton.
A big part of the new Golden
Nuggets renovation included
adding new restaurants includ-
ing the Chart House (one of sev-
eral around the country that the
parent company owns), and Vic
& Anthonys steakhouse. Italian
and sushi restaurants are coming
soon.
The Golden Nugget recently
hosted shows by Motley Crue
singer Vince Neil and comic
Kathleen Madigan. It hosted a
best festival on its outdoor deck,
and a Beatles tribute band,
1964, is coming in December.

SCRANTON The holiday
train rolled into Scrantons
Steamtown National Historical
Site on Saturday evening embla-
zoned with colors of green, gold
and red and heralding the 2011
Christmas Season.
The Christ-
mas-themed lo-
comotive is
part of Cana-
dian Pacific
Railroads an-
nual holiday
campaign to
raise money
and supply to
fill empty cup-
boards across
the United
States and Can-
ada this holiday season.
According to the railroads
website, "since the programs in-
ception back in 1999, more than
$5.6 million and over 2.45 mil-
lion pounds of food has been col-
lected in Canada and the United
States."
The 2011 holiday train em-
barked fromthe NewYork-Cana-
dian border on Friday evening
with a schedule to visit 140 cities
along CPRs circuit before culmi-
nating in Minnesota in mid-De-
cember. A sister holiday train
will also be making the rounds
of cities throughout Canada.
"The trains going to make its
annual stop here between 5:45
and 6:15 and present the United
Neighborhood Centers of North-
east Pennsylvania with a check
for $1,000," said Steamtown
spokesman Mark Brennan. "Its
a popular event for us each
year."
For 2011, the Canadian Pacific
food drive will feature an inter-
active program called Decorate
&Donate which is designed as a
"fun and educational way for
schools and families to help feed
(the underprivileged) their
communities."
According to Brennan, this
years train features popular
country singing stars Willy Por-
ter and Sydney Grigg entertain-
ing the crowds with holiday clas-
sics and carol sing-alongs froma
festive, open-airstage aboard the
train a more elaborate lighting
scheme, synchronized lighting
scheme.
"Look at that thing. Its larger
than life," stated Carmine Vasil-
lo of Moscow, who came with
his two excited children. "This
is our second year and its defi-
nitely worth the trip."
Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus
made a command appearance at
the Steamtown whistle-stop,
much to the delight of the ador-
ing fans and spread the Yuletide
spirit with small gifts and trin-
kets for the crowds.
"Does Santa really live on that
train," one inquisitive toddler
asked her mother, as the train
slowly pulled away.
Following the stop in Scran-
ton, the Holiday Train would be
making a much-anticipated stop
atop the famous viaduct in Ni-
cholson, Pennsylvania as part of
that towns "Trains and Trees"
holiday kick-off celebration.
Holiday spirit is on track

Shickshinny and Athens,
Bradford County, are the only
two Pennsylvania communities
marked by FEMA to receive
long-term recovery assistance
following a five-point plan
called Heart-and-Soul Commu-
nity Planning.
Its finding out what makes
Shickshinny special and using
those things and places to
plan for the future, Christilaw
said.
We dont want to lose what
gives Shickshinny its character.
We want to make sure those
special places are preserved
and those values are carried
through even in the face of
change, because things are
going to change, she ex-
plained at a recent story cir-
cle meeting at First United
Methodist Church.
Christilaw said the team will
help create a long-term recov-
ery plan.
Many voices
The process should include
everyone: council, business
owners and residents. A com-
mittee of community members
residents, business owners,
senior citizens, students and
a few Luzerne County repre-
sentatives to help steer the
process, she said.
The Rev. Terry Hughes,
pastor of the First United
Methodist and a steering com-
mittee member, said the proc-
ess is an opportunity to paint
the picture of Shickshinny the
way you envision it.
One person says I think
Shickshinny should look like
this, another person says it
should look like that. When
you put all of them together,
what are the things that are in
common? These are the things
that we need for Shickshinny
for it to feel like home,
Hughes said.
At the story circle, Pat Hart-
man said the park behind Cur-
ry Donuts is special to her.
Its really nice for parents
and kids; its somewhere safe. I
love seeing the families there.
It does give you a sense of
community, she said.
Curry Donuts employee
Jacqueline Evanitus said she
misses seeing and talking with
children who stopped in while
waiting for the school bus as
well as shopping in the local
stores and seeing everyone she
knows on a regular basis. She
wants that to return.
Looking back, then ahead
Beauty shop owner Helen
Siesko said she remembered
the 1960s when Shickshinny
was a really busy place, and
Id like to see that again.
Specifically, she misses a
place called Dot & Jims,
where we used to all gather
and have sodas and cheese-
burgers and dance and play
pool and just walking the
streets and feeling safe on
busy sidewalks.
Christilaw said the team will
be knocking on doors to get
input from at least 100 resi-
dents before moving on to the
second step, a visioning meet-
ing on Dec. 8 at Northwest
Area High School.
Were going to ask everybo-
dy: Where do you see Shick-
shinny in five years, 10 years,
15 years? What do you want to
see? What are your visions?
What are your biggest needs?
What are your assets? What
opportunities do you think we
have? she said.
The third step, she said, will
be design workshop for which
FEMA will bring in architects,
artists, designers and urban
planners to help them sketch
out what some of these ideas
could look like.
Making it a reality
For the fourth step, working
groups will determine project
feasibilities, identify funding
sources and work on how we
make them realities.
The last step will be making
the long-term comprehensive
plan a reality.
The rest is up to them,
Christilaw said of community
residents and business owners.
Well be done by the end of
February and then after that
theyll have a plan and theyll
just have to make it reality.
Hughes hopes people will
get excited and participate.
When you see so much
devastation, you might say,
Whats the use? Hughes said.
But people say, Wait a min-
ute, this is my home. This is
where I went to high school.
This is where I met my wife
or my husband; this is where
my children were born. This
is where people start looking
at not the things that they
dont have, but the things that
they do have.

Shickshinny Mayor Beverly Moore addresses the towns Long
Term Community Recovery Steering Committee in the basement
of First United Methodist Church during its first meeting.
and without provocation said
were here to support small
businesses today, owner Lisa
Benkowski said. So it definite-
ly worked as a campaign.
Benkowski added the extra
business was especially helpful
because a down economy has
hurt flower sales in recent
years.
An American Express sticker
promoted the holiday on the
door of Yukis Clothing and Ac-
cessories in United Penn Plaza,
Kingston. The holiday coinci-
ded with the stores biannual
sale, something owner Yuki
Spencer said always brings in
customers, but Spencer added
she still thinks Small Business
Saturday gave the store a boost.
Its busier than last year for
sure, so maybe it has something
to do with it, she said.
Next door at 3 Sisters bou-
tique, co-owner Cathy Duffy
said she promoted the holiday
on the stores Facebook page
and that she wholeheartedly
supports the campaign because
it represents what her store is
all about.
3 Sisters specializes in jewelry
and gifts made by hand in the
United States and focuses on
providing top-notch customer
service, Duffy said, something
that sets her store apart from
national chains.
We encourage not just our
own business but small busi-
nesses themselves, because
were really the backbone of our
town, Duffy said. When you
look at what some businesses
give back to the community ver-
sus what the big boxes say they
do it doesnt compare.
Jill Gryskevicz, a former 3 Sis-
ters employee who now lives in
Philadelphia, said she planned
to shop at several local shops
while she is in town for the holi-
day weekend.
Giving back to small busi-
nesses is important, she said.
I think growing up working for
one you realize you get different
things from the big box retailers
at these smaller local stores,
and good service.
Even businesses that didnt
go out of their way to promote
Small Business Saturday said
they seemed to be reaping the
benefits.
We did get a lot of customers
coming in saying how happy
they were to be shopping at a
small business rather than the
big stores, so that was exciting
for us, said Natalie Bush, own-
er of Bratty Nattys boutique on
Pierce Street in Kingston.
Tom Santucci, manager at
Voitek TV and Appliance on
Wyoming Avenue in Kingston,
said hes heard much the same
sentiment, though not just this
weekend.
I always get people in every
day saying they would rather
buy from a local store, Santuc-
ci said. Im not just talking
about today, but the other 364
days a year.
Cathy Duffy, co-owner of 3 Sisters in Kingston, said she supports American Express Small Business Saturday campaign.
Owner Yuki Spencer talks about the Small Business Saturday
campaign at Yukis Clothing and Accessories in Kingston.

have you pulling
your hair out?
We need to start looking at
ways to address the runoff prob-
lem, she said.
I like my life here
Houseknecht, who opened J-
Angelos New York Pizza at the
corner of Main and Union streets
the center of the downtown
three years ago, also loves the
town and is rebuilding the shop
to better withstand flooding.
Its too small a town to really
turnto a ghetto like Williamsport
or Hazleton. All the big trouble
drives right through it, the 50-
year-old Mocanaqua resident
said while taking a break fromre-
modelingworkinthe shop. I like
my life here. Ill never be a quit-
ter.
Bonnie Shane, Houseknechts
landlady and owner of The Up-
stairs Gallery frame shop located
above the pizza place, said shes
heartened by a teamof long-term
recovery specialists fromthe Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agency working to assist with a
comeback.
You come back and you come
back prepared to deal with these
problems the best you can if it
happens again. We have a major
intersection, we have great natu-
ral resources here, were a hub for
this area, for our children, our ol-
der people, Shane, 55, said.
As for a government buyout,
she hadnt considered it.
Ive put too much into this
business, into this building. Its a
historical building, and its lived
throughalot of floods. Its seenso
much and it did not have
the damage that our in-
surance wouldnt cover,
so I only see going
ahead, Shane said.
Options limited
But many people in
town dont have much
choice.
We own our build-
ings. Relocating is too ex-
pensive, and its either a
total loss or wedbe stuck
with a property we cant
sell if we left it, she said.
Theda Belles, who
owns Shickshinny Floral and
Gifts, said the town needs a flow-
er shop, but the only reason she
reopened is because she has a
mortgage on the shop to pay off.
The 64-year-old said shes
flood-weary and ready for retire-
ment. As soon as I can get a
buyer, Im out of here, she said,
notingthat she didnot have flood
insurance because previous
floods never reached her shop.
Jessica Demko and her hus-
band, Andy, have owned Country
Joy, a gift shop on Main Street,
for the past five years and were
prepared for the high water be-
cause they had flood insurance.
I think we all know that were
in a flood zone here, and theres
no surprise about that, Jessica
Demko, 38, said.
Knowing that it could hap-
pen, you prepare as much as you
can. You get insurance and you
nity, reinforcing it to withstand a
disaster that inflicted millions of
dollars in damage to nearly all of
the towns 430 housing units and
all but one of its 28 businesses
and might otherwise have torn it
apart.
The mayor of the borough of
838 residents seems to have a
good grasp on what makes the
town special and worth saving as
well as why so many of her con-
stituents wish to remain and are
determined to see it thrive once
again.
We could have a fire that dev-
astates the town. We could have
sinkholes openup. For the love of
God, we had an earthquake. You
have to deal with it. There is no
absolute safe place. So why
would you not be where you feel
youre the happiest? Mayor Be-
verly Moore saidina recent inter-
view.
I love this town. Everybody
here knows just about everybody
else. You know the people in the
stores. Its a great little place. Its
like a little secret. Just the traffic
alone here could support our
businesses, she said.
Learning from history
The recent flood? She labels it
an inconvenience.
Weve been through flooding
before. Did we have a good flood
plan? Absolutely. Did this last
flood screw it up for me? Yup.
But we go out as soon as we
hear from (the emergency man-
agement agency), everybody
starts moving their stuff, we
dont have anything hysterical
going on. They all know they
have to move it. You knowat that
point the chances are youre go-
ing to have to replace your floor-
ing, some of your walls, Moore
said.
She said it wouldnt be feasible
to raise up every home and busi-
ness eight feet so theyre out of
the flood zone. And at the same
time, I dont think my town
should become a ghost town be-
cause of it.
Moore said Shickshinny will
prepare a flood plan based on the
most recent flooding that likely
will address an even higher crest
than the record 42.6 feet the Sus-
quehanna River reached on Sept.
9.
She said the recent flood has
been a learning experience and
some things would be done dif-
ferently. If a river crest of more
than 34 feet were predicted, she
would advise all residents and
business owners to move their
belongings and goods higher
than they have in the past.
But because of the levees and
the ever-increasing runoff from
development upstream, Moore
doesnt see the flood threat level-
ing off unless something more is
done.
just have to commit to it, she
said. Were celebrating our ses-
quicentennial. Weve been here
this long, theres no reason it
should end now.
Town residents have similar
feelings.
Lewis said he grew up on the
Monongahela River in western
Pennsylvania and moved to
Shickshinny after his wife
learned about it on the Internet
because they wanted to live
somewhere safer that was still a
river town.
We came up and we
looked at it and it
looked beautiful. It was
in a bowl (surrounded
by) mountains. We
came into the town and
were sheltered. What is
it, 11 miles to a Burger
King, 13 miles to a
McDonalds? When
youre raising children,
thats very important
because (a trip to those
restaurants) is not
treated as an everyday
thing, Lewis said.
Mayberry effect
The Mayberry effect is here.
Our children grow up slower
here. And the people here are dif-
ferent because theyre open,
theyre honest. They want to
know how they can help a neigh-
bor, he said.
But that sense of community
still amazes him.
Six weeks ago, we were eye-
balls into water. I cannot believe
the attitude of people in Shick-
shinny, their can-do attitude. Its
not about can-do, its will-do. And
the ones who packed up and ran,
they werent the heart of this
town. The heart of this town is
the people who are still wiping
the mud off their windows, who
are still tryingtowait out their in-
surance people so they can get
going, he said.
Lewis said its the neighborly
support that keeps Shickshinny
goingtoday. We celebrate the fact
that someone got a cabinet inor a
refrigerator. We celebrate that.
Thats what makes Shickshin-
ny alive and its what makes me
glad that we found it. What we
went through was even greater
than (the 1972 flooding of Trop-
ical Storm) Agnes. But were still
here, Lewis said. Whenyoutalk
and you share some of the hurt,
because when you share with
somebody you know cares, it
doesnt hurt so much. Its the
ointment that keeps us healing.
Theda Belles explains why she reopened Shickshinny Floral and Gifts the towns only flower shop last week. While shes ready to
retire, shes still paying down a mortgage on the 24-year-old business.
Bonnie Shane discusses flood insurance payouts with her tenant, Jim Houseknecht, while he takes
a break from remodeling work inside his pizza business on Monday in Shickshinny.

CULVERCITY, Calif. Theymeet ev-
ery Tuesday afternoon at the famous Cul-
ver Hotel inCulver City, seatedat acenter
table in the restaurant, engaged in lively,
loud luncheon conversation. They are
members of the Sons of the Desert, the
international Laurel and Hardy apprecia-
tion society, and a more devoted group is
hard to find.
The name derives fromthe1933 come-
dy starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.
They play friends with domineering
wives who hope to attend a convention of
their fraternal organization, calledSons of
theDesert. Thefilmsocietyhas tents all
over the world, including several in Cali-
fornia, withtheWayOut West tent inHol-
lywood.
Arecent Sons gatheringwas particular-
ly ebullient. The group was thrilled about
therecent releaseof Laurel &Hardy: The
Essential Collection DVD set that con-
tains 58 comedy shorts and features star-
ring the gangly Englishman Laurel and
the portly Hardy that they made for pro-
ducer Hal Roachfrom1929 through1940.
Among the highlights are Sons of the
Desert, 1937s Way Out West, 1938s
Block-Heads and 1932s Academy
Award-winningshort TheMusicBox,in
which the boys try to deliver a piano up a

"There is no question in my mind that Laurel and Hardy
comes closest to representing the average American as he
bumbles along in life. Despite all the messes they get into,
they still stick up for one another and love each other. This
warmth brings us close to them like no other comedians."

othing about her life has been easy. Mak-
ing a way for herself, being a female New
York City police officer, living through
Sept. 11, 2001 and now, being a small business
owner in a tough economy those are just a few
of the challenges that Hazamoon Lisa Cahill has
overcome. Cahill, 40, was born in Brooklyn,
N.Y., and she was named Hazamoon after her
mother, which means change just when need-
ed. Her parents cametoAmerica fromIndia and
her family is from Punjabi descent.
Cahills needed change
might have been moving to
Luzerne in 2009. She now
owns Hazamoon Creations
on Union Street, where she
creates vintage clothing
from tablecloths, scarves,
bed sheets and anything
else she finds. She also al-
ters all types of clothing
and will create clothing for
her customers with their
choice of pattern and mate-
rial.
Prior to owning her own
business, Cahill loved her
job as a police officer in
New York City. She was af-
filiated with the NYPD
from 1991 to 2004 and
worked in Police Plaza,
where she monitored ev-
eryone who entered the
building for contraband.
Very few people liked
that post because it was a
very confrontational post
to have because youre
dealing with all sorts of
people, Cahill said. I
loved it. It was busy and it
helped me to master my
job.

T
he little engine chug-chugs
around a never-ending loop,
pulling along rail cars full of coal,
logs, milk cans, oil and assorted
freight.
Occasionally its route is varied by
someone throwing a tiny switch. But it
always ends up back in the same spot,
right in front of you, all set to go out on
its travels again later today or tomor-
row.
Im a fan of scale-model railroad
layouts under the Christmas tree, or
anywhere else for that matter. I dont
have one myself, because you cant buy
one that would satisfy me and I dont
(ahem) have the electrical and carpen-
try and other skills necessary to build
one. So I content myself with visiting
public displays every December.
My family had a really nice layout
about 60 years ago. My dad was a true
craftsman. Built on a white base to
simulate snow, the little town sur-
rounded by the circle of rail track had
sidewalks made from strips of wood
painted to look like concrete and old-
time streetlights that lit up in the dark.
In one corner was a mountain, made
from papier mache over a metal frame,
properly rugged looking of course, with
a tunnel through which the train could
pass.
But the nicest part of the whole
operation, I believed, was the build-
ings. Scorning the popular Plastic-
ville snap-together structures as an
abomination, my father spent months
at his basement work table, construct-
ing homes, a drugstore, a church and
everything else his tiny town could
need from scratch.
I can see him now working with
balsa wood and stiff cardboard, meticu-
lously inserting cellophane panels in
windows and hanging signs out over
sidewalks with microscopic cords de-
signed to look like chain.
The people and automobiles in the
streets were about the only items he
bought pre-made. Even the bare, brown
trees were actually tiny twigs hed
plucked off the bushes in our back yard
and trimmed with a razor blade to look
like maples and oaks awaiting spring.
My favorite building in the whole
town was the movie theater. Of course
it had a projecting marquee announc-
ing that Stars in My Crown, a 1950
Joel McCrea flick, was being shown
inside all in tiny black letters cut
from an edition of The Times Leader
newspaper.
More remarkable, though, were the
cellophane-encased posters on the
front of the theater. They contained
scenes from the movie, cut from small
newspaper ads. Even their frames were
painted to look like brass.
It was the kind of town where almost
anyone even today would want to
live.
And maybe thats why Christmas
displays are still with us. As the darkness
of winter closes in and we are thrown
more upon our own resources, they give
us a brief entry into a kind of world wed
like to sink into. Of course we know that
world never really existed (even in
1950). But they offer a chance for us to
think If only I could
Our wintry fantasizing is, of course,
the reason why youll never see a
Christmas display featuring boarded-up
storefronts scarred with graffiti and
with mysterious-looking little plastic
figures trading money for tiny packages
in the alleyways. We already see that,
too much of it, in fact.
So, since I cant cut a piece of balsa
wood without ending up in the emer-
gency room, and you cant buy a 1950
town in a box, thats why I go out to
see Christmas train layouts.
All aboooooard!

in1963.
Bann hands over a copy of the
menu from the studios Our Gang
Cafe the Our Gang comedies
were another Roach franchise
fromthe1930s whereonecouldget
a caviar appetizer for 30 cents. It
was right in front of the studio,
said Bann. It was open to the pub-
lic, and Our Gang and Laurel and
Hardy would eat there with the
public.
Sitting across from Bann at the
table is John Duff, who said he first
fell inlovewithLaurel andHardyas
a boy of 5 when he would get up
early on Saturday mornings to
watchthemonTV. I madeaprom-
ise to myself that one day I would
have a library of their films. I start-
ed collecting16mmfilms, and over
the years I have got the DVDs.
Like Duff, Mike Nemeths affec-
tion for the pair dates to TV in the
1950s. They are the warmest, the
best, he said.
There is no question in my
mind that Laurel and Hardy comes
closest to representing the average
American as he bumbles along in
life, Nemeth said. Despite all the
messes theyget into, theystill stick
up for one another and love each
other. This warmth brings us close
to themlike no other comedians.
I think thats one of the reasons
why people took to themso much,
because they were eternal opti-
mists, said Randy Skretvedt, au-
thor of Laurel and Hardy: The
Magic Behind the Movies.
There is a scene in the Laurel
and Hardy movie Block-Heads
where Ollie comes to visit Stan in
the old soldiers home after not see-
ing himfor 20 years, relatedSkret-
vedt. They make small talk, but
the undercurrent of the scene is ba-
sically I love you and miss you.
What other comedyteamwoulddo
a scene like that?
Former child star Johnny Craw-
fordof TheRifleman fameactual-
ly met Laurel before his death in
1965. I was doing an interviewfor
some local TVshowandalsobeing
interviewed was Babe London, re-
called Crawford. London had ap-
peared in the 1931 Laurel and Har-
dy short Our Wife.
She talked about her past with
Laurel and Hardy. We became
friends, and I was determined to
get to meet Stan Laurel, Crawford
said. One day we arranged a time
to go to his apartment in Santa
Monica. He was a wonderful, gra-
cious host, very sweet.
Veteran comic Jim MacGeorge
not only knew Laurel, he also
played him in a series of commer-
cials more than 40 years ago with
Chuck McCann as Hardy and also
on the 1966 Laurel and Hardy car-
toon series, which featured Larry
Harmon as the voice of Hardy.
Scratching his head like Laurel,
MacGeorge gets a perplexed grin
on his face and suddenly trans-
forms into the comic actor.
MacGeorge recalled that he had
gottenLaurels phonenumber from
his agent. Standing outside his
apartment, MacGeorge wondered
if he should call Laurel. I said to
myself, Do it.
Not only was Laurel pleased to
hear from a fan, he asked him to
come to lunch the following week.
SoI usedtogothereandvisit him.
I would knock on the door, and he
would open it. He would say, How
are you, lad? He called everyone
lad. I said, How are you? He said,
My life is over. Come on in. He
said the same thing every time.

dominantly male setting, Cahill,
who stands at about 5 feet tall,
said she had a tough road ahead
because she was a woman. Some
other male cops had reservations
about a petite Indian female cop,
but Cahill was confident.
I knewwhat I was doing, she
said.
She loves this country because
of the opportunity and success
she had.
No, this countryis not perfect,
but we are the best country out
there, Cahill said. Where else
cana little, Indianfemale become
a figure of authority as a police of-
ficer?
Cahills love for America
makes Sept. 11, 2001 a difficult
day to remember because there
were so many lives lost.
I tried to reason with myself
and tell myself that it was their
time to go, she said, teary-eyed.
She was working on that day
and witnessed the tragedy that
struck our nation. After work ev-
ery day, she was part of the recov-
ery clean-up, the Bucket Brigade,
and she met with many families
who lost their loved ones in the
attacks.
That tragic day propelled her
into action. She knew that there
were other things besides her life
as a New York City police officer.
She wanted people to be aware of
her mother, who passed away.
Opening her own shop and dedi-
cating her vintage creations
seemed like a great way to pass
on her mothers legacy.
I wouldlike to be like her, Ca-
hill said. She was such a good,
good person.
Everything she creates in her
shop is for her mother.
The atmosphere (in my shop)
is a very positive one and it influ-
ences me to create, she said.
The theme of her shop is that
no two clothing items are alike
because her mother was very
unique.
The label on the clothing, yes,
its my name, but it is because of
my mom. This is my mothers
clothing line.
Upon entering her shop, there
are items of clothing hanging
from the ceiling and walls. Cahill
sells vintage jewelry and purses,
as well.
There are pictures of her moth-
er and photos of Cahill as a police
officer. Theres a collection of
newspaper clippings and photo-
graphs dedicated to 9/11.
Cahills message to every
American: Never forget.
HAZAMOON
Opening a vintage clothing and alteration shop in Luzerne , was a
way for Hazamoon Lisa Cahill to pass on her mothers legacy.

VERONA, N.J. Retirement

communities may have their
perks, but Beryl OConnor says it
would be tough to match the
birthday surprise she got in her
own backyard when she turned
80 this year.
She was tending her garden
when two little girls from next
door my buddies, she calls
them brought her a strawber-
ry shortcake. It underscored why
she wants tostay put inthe house
that she and her husband, who
died 18 years ago, purchased in
the late 1970s.
I couldnt just be around old
people thats not my lifestyle,
she said. Id go out of my mind.
Physically spry and socially ac-
tive, OConnor in many respects
is the embodiment of aging in
place, growing old in ones own
longtime home and remaining
engagedinthe community rather
thanmoving to a retirement facil-
ity.
According to surveys, aging in
place is the overwhelming prefer-
ence of Americans older than 50.
But doing it successfully requires
both good fortune and support
services things that OCon-
nors pleasant hometown of Vero-
na has become increasingly capa-
ble of providing.
About 10 miles northwest of
Newark, Verona has roughly
13,300 residents nestled into less
than 3 square miles. Theres a
transportation network that
takes older people on shopping
trips and to medical appoint-
ments, andthe townis benefiting
from a $100,000 federal grant to
put inplace anaging-in-place pro-
gram called Verona LIVE.
Administrated by United Jew-
ish Communities of MetroWest
New Jersey, the program strives
to educate older people about
available services to help them
address problems and stay active
in the community. Its partners in-
clude the health and police de-
partments, the rescue squad, the
public and public schools, and re-
ligious groups.
Among the support services
are a home maintenance pro-
gram with free safety checks and
minor home repairs, access to a
social worker andjobcounselor, a
walking club and other social ac-
tivities. In one program, a group
of middle-school girls provided
one-on-one computer training to
about 20 older adults.
Social worker Connie Pifher,
Veronas health coordinator, said
a crucial part of the overall initia-
tive is educating older people to
plan ahead realistically and con-
stantly reassess their prospects
for successfully aging in place.
There are some people who
just can do it, especially if they
have family support, said Pifher,
And then you run into people
who think they can do it, yet real-
ly cant. You need to start educat-
ing people before a crisis hits.
Theres no question that aging
in place has broad appeal. Ac-
cording to an Associated Press-
LifeGoesStrong.com poll con-
ducted in October, 52 percent of
baby boomers said they were un-
likely to move someplace new in
retirement. In a 2005 survey by
AARP, 89 percent of people age
50 and older said they would pre-
fer toremainintheir homeindefi-
nitely as they age.
That yearning, coupled with a
widespread dread of going to a
nursinghome, has ledtoa nation-
wide surge of programs aimed at
helping people stay in their
neighborhoods longer.
Verona LIVEis a version of one
such concept: the Naturally Oc-
curring Retirement Community,
or NORC. That can be either a
specific housing complex or a
larger neighborhood in which
many of the residents have aged
inplaceover alongperiodof time
and need a range of support ser-
vices in order to continue living
in their homes.
Verona is an apt setting.
Roughly 20 percent of its resi-
dents are older than 65, com-
pared with 13 percent for New
Jersey as a whole.
Another notable initiative is
the village concept. Members
of these nonprofit entities can ac-
cess specialized programs and
services, such as transportation
to stores, home health care, or
help with household chores, as
well as a network of social activ-
ities with other members.
About 65 village organizations
have formed in the U.S. in recent
years, offering varying services
and charging membership fees
that generally range between
$500 and $700 a year.
One of the potential problems
for people hoping to age in place
is that their homes may not be se-
nior-friendly.
It becomes a challenge be-
cause we live in Peter Pan
houses, designed for people who
never grow old, said Susan Bo-
sak, a social scientist who is over-
seeing a program to boost inter-
generational engagement in Tul-
sa, Okla.
Many older people live in
homes that are 40 or more years
old, abounding with narrowinte-
rior doorways, hard-to-reach
kitchen cupboards and potential-
ly hazardous bathroom fixtures.
If youre a boomer person,
with money to remodel, think
about making your house more
user-friendly, not just more beau-
tiful, for when you have your
knee replacement or a chronic
condition, said Nancy Thomp-
son of AARP. Were talking
smart, convenient. It doesnt
have to look institutional or util-
itarian.
To promote this outlook,
AARP has teamed up with the
National Association of Home
Builders to create a designation
for certified aging in place spe-
cialists trained in designing and
modifying residences for the el-
derly. Several thousand builders,
contractors, remodelers and ar-
chitects have been certified.
Building or remodeling homes
can include such details as touch-
less faucets, trimkitchendrawers
instead of cupboards, grab bars
and nonslip floors in the bath-
rooms.
Arizonas Pima County, along
with a few other local govern-
ments, has gone a step further,
passing an ordinance requiring
that all new homes in the unin-
corporated areas around Tucson
offer a basic level of accessibility.
They must have at least one en-
trance with no steps. Minimum
heights andwidths are set so that
light switches can be easily reac-
hed and doorways are passable in
a wheelchair.
For now, Beryl OConnors
two-story, four-bedroom Cape
Cod house, built in the 1940s,
poses no physical challenges for
her. Her own bedroom is on the
ground floor, and she recently
had a safety bar installed in her
bathtub, so she thinks prospects
are good for staying put over the
long term.
Plus, shes got company at
home a 26-year-old grand-
daughter lives upstairs and com-
mutes toa jobinNewYorkand
many friends around town,
where she has a busy schedule of
club meetings, group lunches,
card games and occasional bus
trips to casinos.
Youve got to socialize, she
says. There are things out there
to do youve got to look for
them.
Ira and Roseanne Bornstein,
who live a few blocks from
OConnor, also think their long-
time home can accommodate
them suitably for many years to
come. Theres a room on the
ground floor they could convert
to a bedroom, and space upstairs
to house a live-in aide if one were
needed.
Its a modest home, but its al-
ways worked for us, said Ro-
sanne Bornstein, 63, who was a
school counselor and teacher for
25 years. Were very strong in
wanting to stay here.
Her 69-year-old husband, a re-
tiredpharmacist, saidthey worry
that the economics of relocating
might result in a smaller resi-
dence, and crimp their ability to
entertain and host out-of-town
guests.
People are younger and
healthier when they retire, he
said. If you plan right, you can
have a lot of time to enjoy it.
Connie Pifher, the town social
worker, engages with aging-in-
place issues as part of her job, and
also on a personal level as she
nears retirement at 64.
Divorced, with two grown
sons, she used to be determined
to stay on in her four-bedroom
house as a retiree. Now shes
planning to move out, to a co-op
or townhouse. She said the or-
deal of a recent three-day power
outage after a surprise snow-
stormhammered home the point
that its time to move out of
Dodge.
In several states, theres debate
about whether to promote aging
in place by shifting more Medi-
caid dollars to community-based
programs and away from tradi-
tional nursing facilities. But bud-
get problems may complicate
such efforts as some financially
struggling states cut back on
home health services that help
keep some elderly people out of
nursing homes.
Susan Bosak, the social scien-
tist who is advising Tulsa on its
Across the Generations initia-
tive, says building positive inter-
generational relations through-
out a community is vital to en-
hancing life for its elderly.
Aging in place fosters the illu-
sion we can do it by ourselves,
but we cant, she said. A high
quality of life requires support
from the entire community.

Nobody dies at the end of
this book, writes Philadel-
phias Susan Morse in the pref-
ace to The Habit (Open Road In-
tegrated Media, $22.99/Kindle
edition $9.99), a sometimes
searing, often hilarious account
of a mother-daughter relation-
ship Hallmark probably doesnt
have a card for.
If only because there just
arent that many people whose
85-year-old mothers decide to
become Orthodox Christian
nuns.
But as we enter the season
when family members have
more opportunities than usual
to get on one anothers nerves,
you might want to grab a copy
before heading over the river
and through the woods, if only
to have a reminder that even the
people who drive us the craziest
might be worth getting to know
better.
Not that Morse, whose book
was published earlier this
month and whos looking for-
ward to helping her mother cel-
ebrate her 90th birthday this
week, pretends to have the road
map to a happier Thanksgiving.
The youngest of four children
of the late Michael von Mosch-
zisker creator of Philadel-
phias 1 percent for art pro-
gram and his wife, Marjorie
a portrait painter hereafter
known as Mother Brigid
Morse found herself becoming
the sibling in charge of Oper-
ation Ma after her father died
in 1995.
Author shares moms journey to become a nun
But when my father died, my siblings and I really
kind of had to rally, and none of us really knew
each other all that well. It wasnt that we didnt
like each other; we just never had had that much to
do with each other.,
Susan Morse

THE MIRACLE OF BETHLEHEM
A 45 minute live production depicting the life of Jesus
from his birth to his resurrection, will be presented at
St. Faustina Grove by the St. Faustina Parish
Community of Nanticoke at 7 PM on December 2
and 3, with Sunday, December 4 at 7:00 PM as an
inclement weather date. The cast consists of parishioners &
friends of St. Faustina Parish. The grove is located in Sheatown
on Old Newport Street, behind the Saint Stanislaus Apartments
& Guardian Eldercare Center. Parking will be available along
with a handicap area for viewing the presentation for those
with special needs. Admission is free; however, any good will
offerings will be graciously accepted.
Our family is, I think, not un-
usual, in that people kind of
spread out. Everyone spreads
out and doesnt want to have to
deal with each other, she said
last week in an interview in the
northwest Philadelphia home
where she and her husband, the
actor David Morse, have raised
three children of their own.
But when my father died, my
siblings and I really kind of had
to rally, and none of us really
knew each other all that well. It
wasnt that we didnt like each
other; we just never had had
that much to do with each oth-
er, she said. It was fun it
was really fun getting to
know the siblings more.
And then there was Mother
Brigid, as Morses mother came
to be called after undergoing
tonsure, a ceremony in which
she became a monastic (one
who, in deference to her age,
doesnt live in a religious com-
munity but whose job neverthe-
less is to pray).
A religious explorer (all my
life, she was hungry spiritually,
said Morse), shed been born an
Episcopalian, converting her
family to Roman Catholicism
for a while, and had continued
to explore other beliefs after
that.
Her nature is to be an evan-
gelist. And that was incredibly
annoying. And frustrating,
Morse said. I think Orthodox
Christianity has made a world
of difference to her, encourag-
ing her to focus on her own spir-
itual experience.
There were about 12 years of
real struggle with my mother
and Im not sure why this two-
year period that the book is
about changed everything, but
Ive tried to puzzle it out in the
book, she said.
I think its a combination of
that we had to see each other a
lot and that we just both really
needed to solve this problem
that she was having.
The problem: a bout with can-
cer and a fall that resulted in a
broken hip and shoulder, a one-
two punch all too familiar to
many members of the Sandwich
Generation, wholl probably ap-
preciate Morses riffs on the
medical system (and in particu-
lar the acronymshe used for her
mothers former HMO, derived
from a phrase I cant repeat
here).
Theres something about
having a common adversary
that kind of bonded us, she
said.
And when Morse, a former ac-
tress whos worked as a book ed-
itor, realized that the emails
shed been sending to update
her siblings on their mother
might be the basis for a book,
she found a new bond.
Everybody was saying to me,
Are you going to publish the
book after she dies? I really
wanted to not wait because I
knewshe was going to live a mil-
lion years, and it seemed like we
were moving toward a happy
ending anyway without her hav-
ing to end it dying, which is
such a classic way to end a par-
ent memoir, she said.
So she decided to share the
project with her mother as she
wrote it.
I had to be introspective
about her to write things about
howI was feeling about her, that
I had never been able to find a
way to express to her one-on-
one, she said.
Shed take each chapter to her
mother for review, and I would
always be quaking in my boots
that she would be horrified, or
insulted or just embarrassed at
the idea that I was actually go-
ing to publish this thing.
Instead, what was so amaz-
ing [was] that I could go to her
andreadthis stuff to her andshe
would be howling with laugh-
ter.
There were only two or three
times that she actually said to
me, Thats below the belt, or
Thats not fair, or, Youre exag-
gerating. I did not do that. And
I would immediately say,
Youre right, youre right. Im
hamming it up a little bit much.
Ill take it out. Or we would find
a compromise that suited both
of us. And we did negotiate the
book all the way through,
Morse said.
Though surprised by her
mothers reaction, eventually
it dawnedonme that shes a por-
trait artist, and she earned her
living painting other people,
and having them say, Can you
make sure my teeth dont stick
out as much as they do when I
look in the mirror? Or whatev-
er. . . . And she would have to
struggle for herself with a way
to represent a person so it
wasnt too painful for them, it
was artistically viable to her
and an honest representation of
her perspective [and yet be
something] that they would
still feel comfortable hanging in
their living room and giving to
their descendants, she said.
We had never really been
able to laugh at the same joke at
the same time until this book.
Neither one of us really got each
others sense of humor in a way
that was all satisfying. And now
we do. I feel really lucky . . . and
really grateful that we were able
to do it.

SHAVERTOWNFor
some, running is viewed as
a mundane exercise meant
to stay in shape.
For others however, run-
ning has the potential to
lead some on paths others
could never see coming -- it
is a way of life. Such is the
case for Kelly Ciravolo, a
local attorney in Kingston
and a distance runner.
Through her participation
in competitive running,
Ciravolo has gotten to par-
ticipate in several experi-
ences that some people can
only dream of.
One such event occurred
Sept. 11, when Ciravolo
competed in the In-
ternational Triathlon
Union World Cham-
pionship (ITU
Worlds) held in
Beijing, China, at
a triathlon course
previously used
during the 2008
Summer Olympics.

solid effort, coming home

T
he pass came out of Darrell
Crawfords hands perfectly, a
beauty of a bomb that found
Lucas Benton streaking downfield on
his way to a 55-yard touchdown catch.
It was the second play of the second
quarter.
And it was the last time the GAR
Grenadiers had a chance to really cele-
brate.
They werent going to get drubbed
the way they did during last years
state playoffs, the Grenadiers had
vowed.
But when they looked up with barely
five minutes gone in the third quarter,
they were losing 50-6.
For the second year in a row, a Dis-
trict 11 team flattened the Grenadiers
in a state playoff game.
This time, it was Pen Argyl puni-
shing GAR, 50-20.
Last year, it was Southern Lehigh
pounding out a lopsided 50-14 victory.
How does this keep happening to
GAR?
Arent the Grenadiers two-time Dis-
trict 2 champions?
Arent they the team that usually
seems unstoppable, scoring 68 points
twice this season and ringing up more
than 50 two more times on their way to
an 11-2 record?
I just think they play their brand of
smash-mouth football in District 11,
GAR coach Paul Wiedlich Jr. said. Up
front, they really controlled both sides
of the football.
They kind of overpowered us a little
bit.
Pen Argyl was mightier
There was nothing little about Pen
Argyl, which will now take its 13-0
season into the second round of the
PIAA Class 2A playoffs next week.
The Green Knights stacked their
defensive front with three 6-foot-3
players all weighing more than 200
pounds, and 6-4, 185-pound Kyle Mull-
er.
But size wasnt the main issue in
Fridays state playoff game at Spartan
Stadium.
Strength was.
I think they spend a little more time
in the weight room, Wiedlich said.
Our kids go in the weight room. I just
think maybe they need to get in there a
little more.
If they add bulk to go with all that
blazing speed, the Grenadiers could be
dangerous on the state level.
Because Fridays game proved GAR
could play with the best. They just
couldnt stay with the best.
Before the game got away from
them, the Grenadiers were going good.
They moved to midfield with their
opening possession, before a bad snap
proved critical in causing an intercep-
tion on the next play.
They stripped away a fumble at the
goal line on Pen Argyls opening drive.
And the Grenadiers answered Pen
Argyls first score with one of their
own, when Crawford launched his
touchdown pass to Benton to pull GAR
within 8-6.
We were moving the ball, Wiedlich
said. We ended up causing a turnover
when theyre going in to score.
Then Pen Argyl scored a knockout.
Pen Argyl shut down GARs trick
plays, recovered and scored on an on-
side kick attempt to start the second
half, and easily handled GARs quarter-
back shuffle between Crawford and
Corey Moore in the second half.
But it was more about Pen Argyls
power than GARs speed.
Not a good way to end my senior
year, Crawford said. A loss is never
good. But Im proud of my teammates
for making it this far.
Twice now, GAR got a demonstra-
tion of what it takes to make it farther.
A little strength goes a long way.

defeat since a 45-6 loss toOhioState in
2000, the first of the so-called dark
years for the program.
The program will try to prevent a
the start of a similar slide amidst a na-
tional search for a permanent head
coach, a probe to determine if any
NCAA violations have been commit-
ted and the ongoing investigations in-
to the Jerry Sandusky case.
All of them stand as hurdles for the
Lions (9-3, 6-2 Big Ten) to get back to
MADISON, Wis. -- Drenched and
dominated, the Nittany Lions trudged
out of Camp Randall Saturday night
and out of the national spotlight.
Penn State University, of course,
will remain there. When the football
program returns to it is uncertain.
Withtheir goal of a BigTentitle and
a trip to the Rose Bowl demolished by
Wisconsin, a 45-7 winner, the Lions
face a murky future inthe next month,
the next year and beyond.
While the Badgers head off to a re-
match with Michigan State in the Big
Ten title game next weekend, Penn
State players will get a week away
from football and the chaos surround-
ing the school before finding out next
Sunday which bowl game will take
them.

NEW YORK Now that theres a handshake

After a149-daylockout, owners andplayers re-

at a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars for
both sides, on top of the fans and jobs that were
lost during the stalemate. And it leaves the NBA
with its second shortened season, with the hope
of getting in 66 games instead of a full 82-game

led on the ice with a scrum in
front of the net, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins goaltender
Scott Munroe made a big save
when he stuck out his leg to pre-
vent the Binghamton Senators
from leveling the score.
But the save wasnt as big as
the one he would make seconds
later.
Thats when

penalty shot at-
tempt. Al-
though the Sen-
ators did man-
age to tie things
up minutes lat-
er, the Penguins
rallied with a
late goal from
Brandon DeFa-
zio for a 3-2 win
over Bingham-
tononSaturday.
The win puts
a halt to the Penguins five-game
losing skid and improves their
record to 11-5-1-4.
But if you ask the Penguins,
there really wasnt any losing
streak.
At least not in their minds.
Were still not thinking about
it. We never were, DeFazio said.
Today was the first game in our
new segment. Were 1-0-0 and
thats the way were goingtolook
at it.
For most of Saturdays game
the Penguins held onto a 2-1lead
they established in the first peri-
od thanks to goals from Bryan
Lerg and Colin McDonald.
The leadstuck during a frantic
second period that featured lots
of rushes and few whistles. Eric
Tangradi came close to giving
the Penguins a two-goal lead
when his shot hit the crossbar
and floated over the back of
Binghamton goaltender Robin
Lehner.
Munroe stopped28 of 30 shots
on the night and played strong
throughout the game. He
stepped up big while the Pen-
guins were called for three
straight penalties late in the sec-
ond and into the third period.
Just 45 seconds into the third
period, Munroe was in the
crease when he made a leg save
while sprawled on the ice. Dur-
ing the sequence, one of the Pen-
guins covered the puck while it
was loose in front of the net, and
Filatov was awarded a penalty
shot.

FIRST QUARTER
PSU-- Curtis Drake 44-yard pass from
Matt McGloin (Anthony Fera kick),
8:44. Drive: 8 plays, 80 yards, 3:32.
Comment: The Nittany Lions stunning-
ly strike first at Camp Randall as
Wisconsin fails to pick up Curtis Drake
despite himbeing lined up on the
outside like any normal receiver. The
Lions had their opening drive stopped
before backup Badgers tailback James
White bumped into Anthony Fera on a
punt to give Penn State a first down
near midfield.Fromthere, Drake was
released by both the cornerback and
safety on play-action, and the sopho-
more was able to turn around and field
the McGloin lob like a punt for the
Lions first passing touchdown since
Oct. 22 against Northwestern. PENN
STATE 7, WISCONSIN0
UW-- Jared Abbrederis 21-yard pass
fromRussell Wilson (Philip Welch kick),
Comment: Wisconsin strikes right back
with an impressive drive as star tail-
back Montee Ball gets on track and
gets the Badgers in gear. Ball rips off 31
yards on five carries as top Penn State
linebacker Gerald Hodges comes off
the field with an injury. Marching into
Lions territory, Abbrederis runs past
Chaz Powell and Wilson hits himin the
end zone before safety Nick Sukay can
get over to close the gap. That gives
Wilson 36 straight games with a touch-
down pass, tying the all-time NCAA
record. PSU7, UW7
SECOND QUARTER
UW-- Montee Ball 1-yard run (Welch
kick), 14:57. Drive: 8 plays, 50 yards,
3:30. Comment: Things unravel quickly
for the Lions after a strong start. Penn
State gets good field position after the
ensuing kickoff goes out of bounds,
but Matt McGloin gives it back to the
Badgers, throwing an interception to
safety Shelton Johnson at midfield. It
takes the Badgers just eight plays to
turn it into another touchdown. Ball
appears to have a 3-yard score just as
time expires in the first quarter, but
replay overturns it, making it first-and-
goal inside the 1. The Badgers go right
back to Ball after the break and punch
it in on the next play. It is the 31st total
touchdown of the year for Ball, putting
himeight behind Barry Sanders NCAA
single-season record. UW14, PSU7
UW-- Ball 2-yard run (Welch kick),
Comment: Penn States sloppiest half
of the season sees the Lions surrender
21 unanswered points nearing halftime
at Camp Randall. Penalties, missed
tackles and miscues on both sides of
the ball culminate in another long
drive for the Badgers before the break,
capped off by Balls 32nd total touch-
down of the season. Wilson in partic-
ular has tortured the Penn State
defense, spinning out of some tackles
and sprinting away fromothers to pick
up first downs with his armand his
legs.But down near the goal line, its
Ball again, as it has been all season
long for the Badgers. UW21, PSU7
UW-- Nick Toon 4-yard pass from
Wilson (Welch kick), 0:37. Drive: 6
plays, 31 yards, 1:26. Comment: The
collapse continues as a short kickoff
after the touchdown is fielded by
fullback Michael Zordich. Wisconsins
Conor ONeill comes up with the strip
and the recovery to give the Badgers
the ball right back at the Lions 31.
Wilson converts yet another big third
down before a well-timed shovel pass
give the Badgers a first-and-goal. The
Lions look for Ball, but its Wilson
dropping back instead, hitting Toon in
the back of the end zone to signal the
rout. UW28, PSU7
THIRD QUARTER
Comment: The second half opens no
better for the Lions, who fumble it
away on their opening possession.
Silas Redd smacks into the back of his
own lineman, sending the ball flying
into the air. Badgers linebacker Mike
Taylor recovers at the Penn State 46
and the rout continues. Ball gets the
ball inside the 10 again and meets little
resistance froma beaten-down Lions
defense, scoring his third touchdown
of the game. Thats 33 on the season
to put himin second place in NCAA
history for a single season. UW35,
PSU7.
Comment: Fittingly, an 89-yard run by
Stephfon Green is called back on a
chop block penalty, and Penn State
punts fromits goal line to set up yet
another Badgers score. Ball continues
to pound away at the Lions defense,
covering all 45 yards himself to pick up
his fourth score of the game. The
score puts himat 128 yards on the day,
the most given up by the Lions to a
single player all season. Make it 34
total scores. UW42, PSU7
FOURTH QUARTER
UW-- Welch 44-yard field goal, 10:47.
Drive: 6 plays, 17 yards, 3:59. Comment:
Penn States fourth turnover of the
game -- a muffed punt by Drew Astori-
no -- leads to more points. Wisconsin
was poised to make it four touchdowns
following the four turnovers, but a
holding call stalled the drive and
forced the Badgers to settle for a long
field goal through the rain. Wisconsin
coaches are already drawing up plays
for next weeks rematch against Michi-
gan State in the Big Ten title game.
UW45, PSU7
this point, on the doorstep of a
BCS game.
Wisconsin was a daunting
enough obstacle on Saturday.
The Lions hardly helpedmatters
themselves, committing four
turnovers that the Badgers turn-
ed into 24 points.
It just hits you that nothings
gonna go right today, said quar-
terback Matt McGloin, who fin-
ished 9-of-17 for 97 yards, a
touchdown and an interception.
Felt like we really couldnt do
anything about it.
I think we made them look a
lot better than they really are,
senior captain Derek Moye said.
What the Badgers looked like
was one of the
best teams in
the country,
one that had
two losses by a
combined 10
points, both
coming on last-
minute desper-
ation heaves to
the end zone.
No chance
for any late he-
roics this time
around. Penn
States heave to
the end zone
came in the first quarter as Wis-
consin handed the Lions a 7-0
leadby ignoring Curtis Drake on
a go route, resulting in a 44-yard
pitch and catch.
It was the only thing that
worked out for the Lions on the
day.
After a surprising opening
touchdown -- 44 yards from
McGloin to Curtis Drake on a
badly blown coverage -- Penn
State managed just 36 total
yards for the rest of the half. At
the break, Penn State had run19
plays to Wisconsins 48.
The Lions turned it over twice
on a McGloin interception and a
Michael Zordich fumble on a
short kickoff, both of which led
to Badgers touchdowns.
It ledto a 28-7 halftime deficit.
The Lions had not given up
more than27points ina game all
season long.
The fumble was particularly
brutal, coming on a short kickoff
with 2:03 to play in the half. It
tookWisconsinjust 1:33 toreach
the end zone again.
Thats what did us in at the
end of the half, interim coach
TomBradley said. Turn the ball
over there and then it starts roll-
ing down hill. Zordichs fumble
probably sealed our fate.
If that didnt do the trick, then
Silas Redd (66 yards) did on the
opening drive of the second half,
slamming into the back of his
own lineman as the ball flewout
of his arms and into the air.
Another Penn State turnover,
another Wisconsin touchdown.
A muffed punt by Drew Asto-
rino early in the fourth led to a
Wisconsinfieldgoal andthe 45-7
final score.
Even an impressive 89-yard
run by Stephfon Green in the
third quarter was wiped out by a
chop block penalty.
I dont know that Ive been a
part of a (snowball effect) like
that since Ive been back here,
said offensive coordinator Galen
Hall, who took over the job be-
fore the 2004 season.
Wisconsin (10-2, 6-2) out-
gained Penn State 450-233, rack-
ing up 264 yards on the ground.
Montee Ball, a sure-fire All-
America selection at tailback,
rushed for 156 and four touch-
downs, the most given up by the
Lions all year.
Now comes the waiting game
as the Lions lobby for inclusion
in a bowl game that doesnt have
a different name every other
year.
Hopefully, Bradley said,
well get one more game. And
we wont have to go out like
this.

It just hits
you that
nothings
gonna go
right today.
Felt like we
really couldnt
do anything
about it.
Matt McGloin
Penn St.
quarterback
MADISON, Wis. Penn State
has seen plenty of quarterbacks
that could run around.
Pick up an extra first down
or two. Create a few big plays
from nothing.
Russell Wilson was somehow
different.
The numbers for the Wiscon-
sin quarterback were not com-
pletely eye-popping -- 19-of-29
for 186 yards and two touch-
downs. Nothing like the four
scores by tailback Montee Ball.
But it was Wilson who kept
things going in the Badgers
45-7 blowout, keeping the Li-
ons defense honest like no
other quarterback had this year.
Take it from the defenders
themselves.
Hes everything I thought he
was, said defensive tackle
Devon Still, a likely All-Amer-
ican and a finalist for three
national awards. Hes a dynam-
ic quarterback. Its just his
desire to win. His desire not to
be tackled and just do whatever
he can to help out his team.
Thats exactly what he did.
It was tough because we
really had to focus in on the
running back, and we couldnt
because we had to focus on
Wilson, defensive end Jack
Crawford said.
Wilson, an expert on play-
action and rollout passes, fin-
ished with just 36 yards rush-
ing but used his legs several
times to convert third downs
and buy time for receivers to
come open.
The scramble really killed
us, Crawford said. We didnt
tackle well. Our tackling was
very poor. Just didnt get off
our blocks well. Were athletic
enough, we have the playmak-
ers, and thats whats so up-
setting about it.
For Wilson, it was just anoth-
er week in a record-breaking
season. The senior blew away
the school passing touchdown
record of 21 long ago, improv-
ing that number to 28 on Sat-
urday.
Going back to his days at
North Carolina State, it was
Wilsons 36th straight game
with a passing touchdown,
tying him for the all-time
NCAA record streak with for-
mer Texas Tech quarterback
Graham Harrell.
Wilson also remains on pace
to shatter the NCAAs single-
season pass efficiency mark
with two games left to play.
Hes pretty darn good,
interim coach Tom Bradley
said. He played a heck of a
game. Got to take your hat off
to him and realize he did a
heck of a job today.
Infirmary report
Wide receiver Brandon Mose-
by-Felder did not make the trip
for the second straight week, as
he continues to deal with a
back injury.
Penn State once again
brought just 68 active players
on the 70-man travel roster, as
injured defenders Michael
Mauti and Pete Massaro took
the final two spots to help out
the coaches on the sideline.
As usual, four true freshmen
CB Adrian Amos, WR Bill
Belton, PK Sam Ficken, WR
Allen Robinson made the trip.
Spike or self-defense?
With the game still tech-
nically in doubt a 14-7 lead for
the Badgers early in the second
quarter Penn States offense
couldnt get into rhythm.
Not helping matters was a
series of flags that first negated
a first-down run by Silas Redd
and was capped off by a dis-
puted unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty against Matt McGloin.
After a block in the back call
against Justin Brown erased
Redds impressive run, tight
end Andrew Szczerba was
flagged for a false start.
The ball had already been
snapped, and as Wisconsin
defenders bore down on
McGloin, he instinctively
tossed the ball into the ground
to stop the play.
Officials interpreted it as a
sign of frustration following
consecutive penalties and hit
McGloin for a 15-yard penalty.
After the three penalties, the
Lions were stuck with a sec-
ond-and-28 at their 15-yard line,
killing the drive.
The Scranton signal-caller
was not pleased.
Its a ridiculous call to make
in a situation like that, said
McGloin, who said he did not
receive an explanation from the
referee. I mean, Im not gonna
stand there with the ball in
case a defender doesnt hear
(the whistle) and he ends up
clocking me. So I just stepped
back and spiked the ball. Its an
incomplete pass. Somehow
thats unsportsmanlike con-
duct.

S P O R T S
AUBURN, Ala. Trent Ri-
chardson and No. 2 Alabama
turned the Iron Bowl into a
statement game. Now, theyll
wait and see what happens in
the national title and Heisman
Trophy races.
Richardson rushed for a ca-
reer-high 203 yards and AJ
McCarron threw three first-half
touchdown passes to lift the
Crimson Tide to a 42-14 victory
over rival Auburn on Saturday.
The Tide (11-1, 7-1 Southeast-
ern Conference) has a week
before finding out if its resume
is good enough to secure a shot
at a second national title in
three years. No. 3 Oklahoma
State and No. 1 LSU have big
games remaining against No. 12
Oklahoma and No. 13 Georgia,
respectively.
Richardson ran 27 times and
caught a 5-yard touchdown pass
in his final chance to impress
Heisman voters.
He had runs of 35 and 57
yards to set up second-half
scores.
Fans began chanting first
Heisman and then LSU in
the fourth, with a sizable con-
tingent wearing crimson and
white remaining in the stands
afterward clamoring for a re-
match. By then, there wasnt all
that much orange and blue left.
The Tide fell to LSU 9-6 in an
overtime game that Bama fans
at least feel didnt settle the
matter of which one is better.
Its pretty clear whos best in
the state.
In the end, the win might
have given the Tide enough
style points to hold onto No. 2
in the BCS rankings whatever
happens next week.
The Tide dominated statisti-
cally but didnt put Auburn (7-5,
4-4) away until Dee Milliners
35-yard interception return early
in the fourth quarter. Alabama
entered the quarter with a 309-
44 advantage in total yards but
also gave up touchdowns on a
fumble recovery and a kick
return.
McCarron completed 18 of 23
passes for 184 yards but only
attempted five second-half pas-
ses. Richardson handled the
rest.
He gained 142 yards on 13
carries in the second half
against a defense ranked 98th
nationally against the run.
It was more than enough to
end Auburns streak of 14
straight wins at Jordan-Hare
Stadium.
The Tigers biggest offensive
weapons were mostly nonfac-
tors. Tailback Mike Dyer, the
SECs No. 2 rusher, had three
carries at the half and finished
with 13 for 48 yards.
No. 6 Virginia Tech 38,
No. 24 Virginia 0
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Logan Thomas threw for two
touchdowns and ran for one and
David Wilson scored on two
long runs in the second half as
No. 6 Virginia Tech shut out No.
24 Virginia.
The Hokies (11-1, 7-1 Atlantic
Coast Conference) earned the
leagues Coastal Division title
and a rematch with No. 18
Clemson in next weekends ACC
championship game in Char-
lotte.
It was their eighth consec-
utive victory in the series, and
12th in 13 games. They will be
playing for the ACC title for the
fifth time and seeking their
fourth title in five years.
The Cavaliers (8-4, 5-3) had
won four straight and seemed
ready to finally challenge their
state rival, but quarterback

Tide rolls, awaits its fate
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alabama running back Trent Richardson (3) leaps over Auburn defensive back Ryan Smith (24) in
the first half Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadiumin Auburn, Ala.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
jovial Kansas fan decked out in
school colors of red and blue
scooped a sizzling hamburger
patty off the portable grill and
dropped it onto the plate of a
smiling fellow dressed in Mis-
souri black and gold.
Apparently, passions have
cooled over 120 years. Fist-
fights broke out in the crowd in
1891whenKansas andMissouri
played their first football game.
For the most part, good-na-
tured jibes held sway during
festive tailgating on Saturday
when they played their last.
Its a shame this rivalry has
to end, said 1976 Kansas grad
Steve Billings as he slipped an-
other patty onto the grill. But
well just continue to hope they
lose in the SEC and well con-
tinue to build the Big 12.
When Missouri rallied for a
24-10 victory before a sparse
crowd in Arrowhead Stadium,
the nations second-oldest col-
legiate rivalry and one of the
most unique came to what
many consider a sad end.
The Tigers, who have shared
a conference with Kansas since
1907, are headed to the South-
eastern Conference. Theyll
likely make more money and no
longer worry about Texas or
Oklahoma breaking up the
league and forcing them to go
hat-in-hand to some other BCS
conference.
Kansas, without aninvitation
from another BCS conference
when the Big 12 seemed on the
brink of extinction both this
year and last, is staying put.
Though things seem settled
down now, the Jayhawks down
the road will still be subject to
the whims of Big12powers Tex-
as and Oklahoma, not knowing
the security that will soon be-
long to Missouri.
That Missouri was willing to
leave them in the lurch is one
reason Kansas has refused the
Tigers offer to continue the ri-
valry in Kansas City on a non-
conference basis.
And that, to many Missour-
ians, is one of the best things
about leaving.
They were wanted by anoth-
er major conference, and Kan-
sas was not.
Mizzouhadto act inthe best
interests of Mizzou and that
was going to the SEC, financial-
ly and athletically, Missouri
fan Michael Funk said.
But (the Big 12) has some
stability now and I think KU
should understand that.
As inflamed as emotions
have always been in these parts,
fans around the nation rarely
paid much attention to Kansas-
Missouri games.
Unlike other long-running ri-
valries such as Alabama-Au-
burn and Michigan-Ohio State,
the Jayhawks and Tigers were
rarely very good.
But that doesnt mean people
are happy to see the long rivalry
end.
If youve got a 120-year-old
tree in your backyard, do you
chop it down and plant a sa-
pling? asked Amy Longstreet,
a lifelong Kansas fan.
Called for generations the
Border War, the Kansas-Mis-
souri rivalry actually did trace
its roots to real bloodshed, the
violent border clashes between
free state Kansas and slave
state Missouri in the 1850s and
60s.
Marauding bands from Kan-
sas known as Jayhawkers
would make raids on towns in
Missouri, which was protected
by militia known as Missouri
Tigers. WilliamQuantrills raid-
ers murdered more than 100
men and burned Lawrence,
Kan., to the ground in1863. Be-
fore that, a gang of Jayhawkers
did the same to Oceola, Mo.
The ensuing football series
was so bitter, the two sides do
not even agree on the overall re-
cord. Kansas claims victory in
1961when it inflicted a loss that
may have cost Missouri its only
shot at a national champion-
ship.
But Missouri claims victory
because the Big Eight Confer-
ence said the Jayhawks used an
ineligible player and ordered a
forfeit.
Longtime Missouri basket-
ball coach NormStewart would
never let his teamstay in hotels
on the Kansas side of the bor-
der.
C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L
Kansas, Missouri end
120-year Border War
With Missouri headed to the
Southeastern Conference,
longstaning rivalry is over.
LUCK ON STANFORDS
SIDE VS. N.D.
STANFORD, Calif. Andrew
Luck set the school record for
the most career touchdown
passes and eclipsed his own
single-season mark, throwing
for 233 yards and four scores
to lead fourth-ranked
Stanford past No. 22 Notre
Dame 28-14 in his home finale
Saturday night.
Luck topped John Elways
record of 77 touchdown
passes and helped the
Cardinal (11-1) build a 21-0
halftime lead. He has thrown
for 80 touchdowns in three
years and 35 this season.
Tommy Rees threw an
interception, lost a fumble
and took a bruising blow to
the ribs for Notre Dame (8-4)
before getting benched.
Andrew Hendrix threw for 192
yards and a touchdown and
ran for another score in a
second-half rally for the
Fighting Irish that came up
short.
STARS
Denard Robinson, Michigan,
accounted for five touchdowns
and helped the No. 17 Wolverines
beat Ohio State 40-34 and snap a
school-record, seven-game losing
streak in the rivalry.
Kellen Moore, Boise State, threw
three touchdown passes, in-
cluding a last-ditch 46-yarder on
the final play of the first half, to
lead the No. 7 Broncos to a 36-14
victory over Wyoming.
Aaron Murray, Georgia, threw
four touchdown passes and the
No. 13 Bulldogs extended their
domination over No. 25 Georgia
Tech, pulling away for a 31-17
victory.
Mike Glennon, North Carolina
State, threw for a career-high five
touchdowns, ran for another
score and led the Wolfpacks rally
from 27 points down in the sec-
ond half to beat Maryland 56-41.
D.J. Williams, Grambling State,
threw three touchdowns to Mario
Louis in a 36-12 victory over
Southern University in the 38th
annual Bayou Classic.
END OF AN ERA
Kansas and Missouris 120-year-
old football rivalry could be over.
The Border War, as generations
have called it, actually traces its
roots to real bloodshed, the vio-
lent border clashes between free
state Kansas and slave state
Missouri in the 1850s and 60s.
But all that history and tradition
ground to a halt Saturday when
the Jayhawks and Tigers met for
the 120th time on a raw and windy
day in Kansas City, where it began
with that first game in 1891.
Missouri is heading to the South-
eastern Conference next season,
leaving Kansas in the Big 12.
NUMBERS
26Games of the losing streak to
Tennessee snapped by Kentucky
with a 10-7 victory over the Vols.
32Touchdown passes by Ge-
orgias Aaron Murray this season,
extending his own team record.
35Points scored in the fourth
quarter by North Carolina State in
its 56-41 win over Maryland.
4,541Career yards rushing by
Western Kentuckys Bobby Rainey,
passing Lerron Moore on the
schools career list. Raineys 1,695
yards this season are also a
school record.
ERICKSONS FUTURE
Dennis Ericksons run in the des-
ert could be nearing an end.
The 64-year-old coach is planning
to meet with Arizona State athlet-
ic director Lisa Love in the next
few days to discuss his future with
the program. Most indications are
that Ericksons five-year tenure
will end after a monumental
collapse by the Sun Devils.
Once in control of the Pac-12
South, Arizona State lost its grip
on the division and its season by
losing its final four games.

BRANDON DEFAZIO
Penguins forward
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
forward Brandon DeFazio picked a
good friend, some complete strang-
ers and a few familiar faces to be on
his fantasy hockey team. In a classy
move, DeFazio also gave an honor-
able mention to a legendary tough
guy who recently passed away.
Interestingly, DeFazio had a hard
time picking someone to play the role
that he plays so well agitator. No
one likes to play against an agitator,
he said, so its tough to pick one and
give them credit for a job well done.
But as a true Fantasy GM, DeFazio
filled the spot with a remarkable
choice and put together a unique and
solid fantasy hockey team.
Forward John
Tavares (N.Y. Islan-
ders), Hes my work-
out buddy in the
summer and he has
great skills.
Defenseman
Zdeno Chara (Bos-
ton)
Goaltender Jonas Hiller (Ana-
heim), Ive seen him play and hes
very quick. Plus, it looks like he has
fun in there.
Power Play Specialist John Ta-
vares (N.Y. Islanders)
Penalty Kill Specialist Ryan
Kesler (Vancouver), He works hard
and I like the way he plays.
Shootout Specialist Wojtek Wol-
ski (N.Y. Rangers), He went 9-for-9
one year.
Enforcer Steve MacIntyre (Pitts-
burgh), He was amazing when he
was down here, and hes a really good
guy. Honorable mention Bob Prob-
ert (Detroit, Chicago), My favorite
player growing up.
Agitator/Pest P.K. Subban (Mon-
treal), Hes the ultimate agitator
right now.
Head Coach Mike Babcock (De-
troit), I dont know him but he seems
like a very good coach.
All-Time Great Steve Yzerman
(Detroit), He was the ultimate every-
thing a team leader, could score,
pass, hit and played hurt. Whatever
you needed he did it, and hes defi-
nitely someone youd want on your
team.
-- Tom Venesky
FANTASY GM
Tavares
Pittsburgh. Ulf Samuelsson has a
wealth of hockey knowledge one that
Philip has at his disposal whenever its
needed.
He watches all of my games and
gives me his opinion. I like getting that
feedback, not that I dont get it from
the coaching staff here, Philip Sa-
muelsson said. Its good to have an-
other set of eyes focusing on you.
Samuelsson was born in Sweden but
spent most of his childhood growing
up around the NHL rinks where his
father played. He hung out in NHL
locker rooms, rubbing elbows with
stars such as Mario Lemieux, Jaromir
Jagr, Alexei Kovalev and Nicklas Lid-
strom while his father carved out an
NHL career that encompassed 1,080
games and more than 2,400 penalty
minutes.
A delicious start
But Samuelsson was never pres-
sured to follow in his fathers footsteps
or even become a hockey player. It was
a decision that he made when he was
14.
Thats when I decided to give hock-
ey a serious go and start training in
the summers and developing my
game, Samuelsson said. There was
no pressure from my family to play
hockey, but when I chose to do so my
dad has always been willing to help as
much as possible.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
defenseman Philip Samuelsson is in a
unique position as he tries to follow
the career path blazed by his father,
long-time NHLer Ulf Samuelsson.
But hes not alone.
Along the way Samuelsson, 20, has
had several teammates following the
same road. He played with Dean Che-
lios (son of Chris Chelios) in juniors,
and Ryan Bourque (son of Ray Bour-
que), John Ramage (son of Rob Ram-
age) and Jarred Tinordi (son of Mark
Tinordi) with the U.S. National Pro-
gram.
Were all just fathers and sons like
everyone else, Philip Samuelsson
said.
But they did have a little fun with it.
We would kind of give each other a
hard time if there was a certain game
where one of the dads was better than
the other, Samuelsson added. But,
aside from the hockey background, the
one thing we all have in common is
that were proud of our fathers and
their careers.
And now Samuelsson is part of the
next generation working to get his
familys name on the back of an NHL
jersey again.
His father played in the NHL for 16
seasons (1984-2000) and won two
Stanley Cups during his five years with
Samuelssons hockey path originat-
ed in Arizona while his father was an
assistant coach for the Phoenix
Coyotes. He played on a youth hockey
team sponsored by PF Changs, a Chi-
nese restaurant chain, from 2006-08.
It became one of my favorite restau-
rants. They gave the players a discount
on the lettuce wraps, Samuelsson
said.
Good food aside,
Samuelsson is one of
nine players from his PF
Changs team to go on
to play Division I col-
lege hockey.
After his youth hock-
ey days, Samuelsson
spent a season playing
junior hockey for the
Chicago Steel in United
States Hockey League,
played in two international tourna-
ments with the United States and
Sweden (he has dual citizenship) and
was a defenseman for Boston College
the last two seasons before earning a
spot with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
In just a few short years, Samuels-
son has suited up for two countries,
four teams and three different leagues.
And he gained a ton of experience in
the process.
Ive been able to take some things
from each coach Ive played for and
adapt it into my game, Samuelsson
said. Just having those different per-
spectives from each coach has been
huge for my development.
His development is continuing with
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where Sa-
muelsson has evolved into a reliable
defenseman, posting an impressive
plus-7 rating in 16 games.
In his first season as a pro, Samuels-
son is also putting his childhood expe-
rience of growing up around the NHL
to use as well.
Its something that Penguins head
coach John Hynes has noticed.
You can see that Philip has comes
from that (NHL) back-
ground where his dad has
played a long time. He
has hunger, and he under-
stands theres a process
for him to become a
full-time player, Hynes
said. That comes from
some of his childhood
and some of the mentor-
ship he gets from his
dad.
Although Samuelssons game is
different from his fathers physical
style, he doesnt ignore the similarities
between the two. His father was also a
defenseman who wore No. 5 and
played for the Pittsburgh organization.
But there is one more similarity that
the younger Samuelsson says would be
the biggest of all: To wear a No. 5
Pittsburgh jersey with the Samuelsson
name on the back.
Playing in the NHL is my ultimate
goal, and being able to do it with Pitts-
burgh would mean a lot because of the
history with my dad, Samuelsson
said. And to be able to wear his num-
ber while playing for Pittsburgh that
would truly be a special moment for
me.
BUT, ASIDE FROM the hockey background, the one thing we all have in
common is that were proud of our fathers and their careers.

Defenseman Samuelsson hopes

Defenseman Andrew Hotham,
who spent time in Wilkes-Barre/
Scrantons training camp, ha a
four-point night Friday as Wheel-
ing defeated Gwinnett, 5-1. Hoth-
am registered two goals and two
assists on the night. Chris Barton
scored his team-leading 12th goal
of the season to extend his point
scoring streak to 10 games.
On Saturday, the Nailers lost to
Gwinnett 3-1. Cody Chupp scored
the only goal for the Nailers, his
fifth of the season. Wheeling re-
mains in first place in the Atlantic
Division with a 10-5-0-0 record and

ANN ARBOR, Mich. De-
nard Robinson danced with his
feet and dazzled with his arm,
giving Michigan an edge at
quarterback against Ohio State.
Finally.
Robinson accounted for five
touchdowns, helping the 17th-
ranked Wolverines beat the
Buckeyes 40-34 on Saturday and
snap a record seven-game losing
streak against their archrival.
He ran left, right and center,
using his speed to blow past
Buckeyes, juke moves to slip
tackles and sacks and even
showed some power when an
extra yard was needed.
The star quarterback had a
chance to leave college footballs
winningest program when the
spread coach he came to play
for Rich Rodriguez was
fired in January. This victory
made it all worthwhile.
I wouldnt want to be any-
where else except with these
guys, Robinson said. Im glad I
stayed.
And, coach Brady Hoke is
happy he was given a chance to
come back to Ann Arbor, where
he was an assistant.
I got the best job in the
world, Hoke said.
Former Ohio State coach Jim
Tressel used to think the same
thing, especially when he made
the Wolverines a target and beat
them regularly when they were
led by Lloyd Carr and Rodri-
guez.
Tressel was forced to resign
nearly six months ago in the
wake of a cash-for-Buckeyes
memorabilia scandal that also
led to quarterback Terrelle
Pryor bolting for the NFL and
several other players serving
multiple-game suspensions in
what became the programs
worst season on the field since
1999.
The Buckeyes are led by inter-
im coach Luke Fickell for
now but Tressel addressed
his former players Friday before
they boarded busses in Colum-
bus, Ohio.
To be able to see him again, I
think it definitely got us
pumped up, Ohio State center
Mike Brewster said.
The Buckeyes got off to a
great start, scoring first on Brax-
ton Millers 54-yard pass to
Corey Brown and holding Rob-
inson to a three-and-out drive.
Ohio State led twice more in
the first half and had a 24-23
advantage at the break. After
the Wolverines went ahead
30-24 on Robinsons 20-yard
pass to Martavious Odoms to
open the second half, Ohio State
pulled within three points early
in the fourth and again midway
through the fourth quarter.
Michigan (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten)
was forced to settle for a six-
point lead with 1:59 left on Bren-
dan Gibbons career-long 43-
yard field goal after two appar-
ent TDs were negated by a
video review and then penalties.
The Buckeyes (6-6, 3-5) had
the ball once more at their 20
with 1:59 left.
I thought we had a chance,
Miller said.
They did.
But Miller sailed a pass over
Deviser Poseys head on what
couldve been a 76-yard TD,
spiked the ball to stop the clock
on third down with 45 seconds
left because he said the
coaches told him to then
threw a loss-sealing interception
to Courtney Avery.
Its a weird feeling, Pose
said. Were not really used to
it.
No. 11 Michigan State 31,
Northwestern 17
EVANSTON, Ill. Keshawn
Martin returned a punt 57 yards
for a touchdown just before
halftime and Kirk Cousins threw
two TD passes to B.J. Cunning-
ham as No. 11 Michigan State
warmed up for next weeks Big
Ten championship game by
beating Northwestern.
The Spartans had already
wrapped up the Legends Divi-
sion title and a berth in the
league championship game next
week. Now they have the best
record in the division, as well,
and 10 victories overall (10-2,
7-1).
Cousins threw a 33-yarder to
Cunningham in the third quar-
ter and hit him again on a jug-
gling 29-yard TD pass with 5:17
left to complete a 93-yard drive.
It was the 62nd career touch-
down pass for Cousins, breaking
the school record held by Jeff
Smoker (61).
Northwestern (6-6, 3-5) had
its four-game winning streak
snapped in the regular-season
finale and now hopes for a bowl
bid. The Wildcats closed to
24-17 early in the final quarter
on Dan Persas 12-yard TD pass
to Demetrius Fields, set up by a
clutch fourth-down pass from
Persa to Jeremy Ebert.
The Wildcats got the ball
back at the MSU 47, but a hold-
ing penalty and Jerel Worthys
sack of Persa forced a punt and
then MSU went on its long,
game-clinching drive.
Martin sprinted in on his
57-yard punt return with 34
seconds left in the half as Michi-
gan State scored two touch-
downs in the final 1:40 of the
second quarter and took a 17-3
lead at the intermission.
With the score tied at 3-3,
Northwestern was driving when
Treyvon Green fumbled after a
hit by Max Bullough and Michi-
gan States Denzel Drone reco-
vered at the Spartan 3 with just
more than five minutes left in
the half. Northwestern called a
timeout presumably to have
the play reviewed but Michi-
gan State retained possession.
MSU then took off on a 97-
yard drive Cousins hit Brian
Linthicum for 15 yards and
heaved a 46-yarder to Martin
that carried to the NU 7. LeVe-
on Bell then carried the final 7
yards for a TD, completing an
eight-play march that put the
Spartans up 10-3.
Purdue 33, Indiana 25
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Ralph Bolden scored one touch-
down, Caleb TerBush threw for
another and Carson Wiggs made
three field goals Saturday to
lead Purdue past Indiana for the
Old Oaken Bucket.
The victory makes Purdue
(6-6, 4-4 Big Ten) bowl-eligible
for the first time under coach
Danny Hope. But the Boiler-
makers are not guaranteed a
bowl spot because 10 Big Ten
teams are eligible for the
leagues eight bowl berths.
The milestone victory also
was tarnished by a third-quarter
injury to Bolden, who appeared
to injure his right knee and did
not finish the game. School
officials did not immediately
provide an update on Boldens
condition.
Indiana (1-11, 0-8) finished the
season on a nine-game losing
streak and is the only BCS con-
ference team not to beat a Foot-
ball Bowl Subdivision foe.
Minnesota 27, Illinois 7
MINNEAPOLIS MarQueis
Gray rushed for 167 yards and
two touchdowns and threw for
another score, guiding Minneso-
ta past backsliding Illinois in the
season finale and sending the
Fighting Illini to their sixth
straight defeat.
Gray took off 27 times to
break the single-season rushing
record for a Golden Gophers
quarterback, giving him 966
yards. Billy Cockerham had 831
yards rushing in 1999.
Troy Pollards 11-yard touch-
down run in the third quarter
was the only highlight for the
Illini (6-6, 2-6 Big Ten), who
wasted their best start in 60
years and put coach Ron Zooks
job in obvious danger.
Nathan Scheelhaase, who was
4-for-6 for 15 yards in a time
share with Reilly OToole, lost a
costly fumble on one of his five
sacks.

Friday into Saturday, Stern ac-
cepted some congratulations,
headed for another short night of
sleep, then planned to brief his
owners on a deal that could
change the way they do business.
Players, looking beat and bea-
ten, face a tougher healing proc-
ess in approving an agreement
that significantly limits their
earnings.
First, players must drop a law-
suit against the league, reform
their disbanded union and ap-
prove the handshake deal that
was reached shortly after 3 a.m.
Saturday. Players association ex-
ecutives Derek Fisher and Maur-
ice Evans hardly lookedenthused
about the agreement as they sat
next to executive director Billy
Hunter on the same side of a con-
ference table as Stern, Deputy
Commissioner Adam Silver and
Spurs owner Peter Holt, the
chairman of the leagues labor re-
lations committee.
But at least they werent sitting
in a courtroom, where they ap-
peared headed less than two
weeks earlier.
Just 12 days after talks broke
down and Stern declared the
NBAcould be headed to a nucle-
ar winter, he sat next to Hunter
to announce the 10-year deal,
with either side able to opt out af-
ter the sixth year.
Owners relented slightly on
their previous insistence that
players receive no more than 50
percent of basketball-related in-
come after they were guaranteed
57 percent in the old collective
bargaining agreement. The tar-
get is still a 50-50 split, but with a
band from 49 percent to 51 per-
cent that gives the players a bet-
ter chance of reaching the high-
est limit than previously pro-
posed.
Owners were warned on a con-
ference call Friday night that a
deal did not seem imminent, a
person briefed on the details told
The Associated Press on condi-
tion of anonymity because of the
sensitivity of the information.
Then, shortly past 3 a.m.,
many league officials received an
e-mail from Silver saying they
had a deal news that apparent-
ly caught many off guard.
Silvers e-mail, the person said,
did not contain any specifics
about the terms of the tentative
agreement.
Those details were expectedto
be provided on a late-afternoon
conference call of the labor rela-
tions committee Saturday. The
agenda was expected to include
when franchises may begin con-
tacting their players again and
when team facilities could re-
open in advance of training
camps.
Stern said he expects the labor
committee to endorse the deal
and recommend it to the full
board.
The players side has revealed
little of its feelings about the deal,
noting the pending antitrust liti-
gationinits desire for keepingde-
tails quiet. But players always
preferred to be on the court, rath-
er than in it, and nowthey finally
have the chance.
I think it was the ability of the
parties to decide it was necessary
to compromise and to kind of put
this thing back together in some
kind of way, to put an end to the
litigation and everything that
that entails, Hunter said.
Players filed an amended anti-
trust lawsuit in Minnesota on
Monday that could have earned
the players billions but surely
would have come at the cost of at
least the entire 2011-12 season.
Bothsides saidall alongtheon-
ly way to a deal was through ne-
gotiating. Theygot backtogether
Tuesday, setting the way for the
pivotal meeting that began Fri-
day.
I thinkwe sawa willingness of
both sides to compromise yet a
little more and to reach this
agreement, Silver said. We look
forward to opening on Christmas
Day and we are excited to bring
NBA basketball back and thats
most important.
Both sides are expected to OK
the pact, which would pave the
way for training camps and free
agency to open simultaneously
Dec. 9.
President Barack Obama gave
a thumbs-up when told about the
tentative settlement after he fin-
ished playing basketball at Fort
McNair in Washington on Satur-
day morning.
DEAL
with a second-place finish and
a silver medal.
Traveling as a member of
Team USA, Ciravolo men-
tioned that she was grateful
for their help in making the
trip possible, from aiding with
the financial and paperwork
side of things to planning a
vast majority of the trip.
Upon her arrival, Ciravolo
was amazed by the lengths the
people of China went to in or-
der to make the event one to
remember.
Two days before the race,
there was a parade of nations
through the city of Beijing,
Ciravolo said. There were
thousands of athletes and
spectators that marched
through the streets before con-
verging on one of the Olympic
arenas from 2008. It was just
like the Olympics, but minia-
ture. The ceremony was really
something.
Before becoming complete-
ly acclimated to the 12-hour
time difference, Ciravolo
found time to do some sight-
seeing and managed to hike
the Great Wall on just her sec-
ond day in China.
Freedom restricted
While in China, Ciravolo did
notice many differences be-
tween their society and that of
our own. She was unable to ac-
cess her account on Facebook
and a lot of other websites that
she would normally have ac-
cess to while at home because
the Chinese government ac-
tually prohibits them. This
made her iPad all the more val-
uable, as it became a vital tool
for talking to her family back
home in the United States.
I had an iPad, so I was able
to use Skype, Ciravolo said.
This was very important be-
cause my mother was home
with my 2-year-old, whom I
missed so much. We were able
to talk pretty much every day.
Ciravolo also observed how
tight security was while they
were in the foreign land, being
scanned with metal detectors
before even boarding the bus
prior to the opening and clos-
ing ceremonies.
Once the day of her triath-
lon finally arrived, Ciravolo
was more than ready to take on
the three-headed beast, which
consisted of a .9-mile swim, a
bike ride that stretches rough-
ly 25 miles and a 6.2-mile run.
It was really something to
be surrounded by the greatest
athletes from all over the
world, Ciravolo said. And
the fact that not all of them
spoke English made it really
neat.
Ciravolo further described
the metrics of her triathlon
course, stating that with inter-
national Olympic racing, a lot
of the courses are multiple
laps of the bike and the run.
This means that instead of
completing the bike and run
course once, she had to com-
plete three loops on each.
While the swim is admitted-
ly not her best leg of the triath-
lon, Ciravolo was able to exit
the water in fifth place. With
the knowledge that she has a
certain knack for coming from
behind and that the run is her
best leg, Ciravolo felt that she
was in a good spot.
Overcoming pain
The second leg of the triath-
lon was the bike portion. Tak-
ing the first lap a little easy in
order to get used to the tech-
nicality of the bike course, Ci-
ravolo began cruising on the
second lap and her confidence
started to grow. On the third
lap, she came across a major
setback when her bike flewout
from under her, causing her to
soar across the road where she
landed on her left hip and arm.
I dont knowwhether it was
overconfidence or if I just
slipped on something, Cira-
volo said. The Chinese peo-
ple that were volunteering
were screaming for an ambu-
lance and I thought to myself
that my family, sponsors and
coaches were all watching
back home. Ending my race
just wasnt an option.
Despite the pain radiating
from her leg after the wreck,
Ciravolo put together a solid
run during the third leg of the
triathlon and ended up with
the second fastest female run
of the day, just 20 seconds be-
hind the winner of the event.
While reflecting on her ex-
periences in China, Ciravolo
mentioned that she wouldnt
mind returning someday.
However, there are a few more
stops that she wants to make
first.
The thing is, ITU Worlds
changes every year, so al-
though I would go back to Chi-
na, Imlooking forward to New
Zealand in 2012, Ciravolo
said.
More recently, Ciravolo
competed in the New York
City Marathon and finished as
the 42nd overall female in a
field of more than 47,000 par-
ticipants in a time of 2:56:30.
I always see room for im-
provement and I like to test
myself, Ciravolo said. That
was my goal for this whole sea-
son. I wanted to go for more
aggressive races, more elite
races and just more races in
general. Im really passionate
about it and so I like to keep
improving as I get older.
Next year (in New Zeal-
and), I hope to go for gold.
Thats my main goal.
SILVER
Filatov skated in on net, made
a few dekes and faked a shot be-
foreMunroecalmlymadethesave
to thwart a tie and a huge Bing-
hamton momentum gain.
I just stayed patient with him
(Filatov) and I was able to stay
withit, Munroesaid. If that goes
in its a totally different hockey
game.
But the Senators did manage to
tie things up after defenseman
Alexandre Picardwas whistledfor
tripping, giving Binghamton its
thirdconsecutive power play. Sen-
ators defenseman Josh Godfrey
sent a shot in from the point that
made its way through traffic and
past Munroe to even things at 2-2.
Despite the goal, the Penguins
were able to withstand a persist-
ent Binghamton attack in the
first five minutes of the third pe-
riod. The Senators generated
plenty of chances despite mis-
sing several veterans due to inju-
ry.
They were playing a little
shorthanded but they have a ton
of skill and speed, Munroe said.
They were coming at us hard
and we kind of weathered the
storm.
It wasnt until 13 minutes later
that Philip Samuelsson sent in a
shot from up top that DeFazio
deflected to give the Penguins a
3-2 lead that would stick.
We did enough to win the
game, said head coach John
Hynes. Theres certain ele-
ments Id like to see more of, but
we played well enough to win
which is the most important
thing.
NOTES
- C Zach Sill was scratched for
Saturdays game. Coach John
Hynes said Sill doesnt have a se-
rious injury and could return for

end.

his father is handling lung cancer
treatments very well.
Former Nittany Lions head
coachJoe Paternowas diagnosed
with a treatable formof lung can-
cer during a follow-up visit for a
bronchial illness earlier this
month. After Saturdays 45-7 loss
at Wisconsin, Jay Paterno said
his father is going through treat-
ments and handling it very
well.
The family has requested pri-
vacy, saying doctors are optimis-
tic the 84-year-old Paterno will
make a full recovery.

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta Di-
dier Cuche won the downhill sea-
son-opener Saturday, giving
Switzerland a 1-2 finish in the
World Cup race at Lake Louise.
The 37-year-old Cuche fin-
ished in1 minute, 47.28 seconds.
He also won at Lake Louise in
2009.
Actually, I always struggle to
be fast here in Lake Louise, espe-
cially in the downhill, Cuche
said. I was on the podium three
or four times in the super-G, but
before the win two years ago I
was maybe once top five. Its a
hard course to be fast. You need
to attack. You need to glide. You
need find a good mix between
pushing hard and letting the ski
goes. Today, I think I had a lot of
help with my skis and my materi-
al.
Beat Feuz was second in
1:47.34, and Austrias Hannes
Reichelt was third in 1:47.36.
Its one race where the Swiss
guys are better, Reichelt said.
Well try tomorrow, or at Beaver
Creek (next week), to kick the
Swiss off the podium.
Bode Miller was the top Amer-
ican, finishing ninth in 1:48.01.
Marco Sullivan was 24th, Tra-
vis Ganong 27th, Erik Fisher
35th, Wiley Maple 38th and An-
drew Weibrecht 51st. Ryan Co-
chran-Siegle crashed in his first
World Cup start.
Asuper-Gis scheduledfor Sun-
day.
What keeps Cuche going is
driving across the finish line to
see his name light up in green let-
ters at the top of the leaderboard,
instead of red letters below.
If its green, its perfect, said
Cuche, the defending downhill
andsuper-Gseasonchampion. If
its red, you start to focus on the
next day and hope you get the
green light.
Cuche is a hero to Feuz.
Hes the old guy and Im the
young guy so we complete each
other, the 24-year-old Feuz said.
Of course hes a ski legend and a
great guy and to be second be-
hind him, it gives an even sweet-
er taste to my podium finish.

PHILADELPHIA Tom Bra-
dy talked up the Philadelphia Ea-
gles more than Vince Young.
Brady and the AFC East-lead-
ing New England Patriots (7-3)
visit Philadelphia on Sunday in
their second meeting since the
Super Bowl in February 2005.
The Patriots beat those Eagles
24-21 for their third NFL title in
four seasons.
Listening to Brady and his
teammates discuss the upcom-
ing game, you would think
theyre getting ready to play Do-
novan McNabb, Terrell Owens
and Brian Dawkins again.
Theyre very talented, theres
no question about that, Brady
said. You look at their defensive
stats and their offensive stats,
theyre as good as any team in
the league. They can play with
anybody. Theyve had two pretty
significant blowout wins and
then the rest of the games have
been very close. Its not like
teams are running away from
these guys; theyre in every sin-
gle game. Theyre a tough team
in all phases.
As usual, Brady was echoing
his coachs thoughts.
Theyre good across the
board, theyre well-coached,
theyre a hard team to get ready
for because of the number of
things they do and they do them
at a high level, Bill Belichick
said. Theyaregoodinall phases
of the game. They have a lot of
outstanding players.
Nearly eliminated
Thats a lot of praise for a team
thats 4-6 and one loss away from
being all-but-mathematically
eliminated from playoff conten-
tion in a season that began with
enormous expectations.
It was Young who put a bulls-
eye on the Eagles when he called
thema DreamTeam after sign-
ing a one-year contract to be Mi-
chael Vicks backup. By now,
Young and his teammates have
heard plenty of jokes regarding
how this Dream Team is a
nightmare and so on.
I didnt think anything of it
whenI first heardit, cornerback
Nnamdi Asomugha said. I just
thought it was Vince talking
about how he felt and how he
was excited and howit was like a
dreamcometrue, somethinglike
that. Then it turned into us just
being cocky and us being over
confident and saying way too
much, etc. etc., which we were
never doing. No one ever took it
like that when he said it. It was
just something like that hes al-
ways looked forward to or hes
happy to be in this situation.
Despite adding a slew of high-
profile players Asomugha was
theprizeof thefree-agent market
toa groupthat was comingoff
an NFC East championship, the
Eagles havent lived up to the
hype. Theyve lost four of five
home games, blowing fourth-
quarter leads in each loss at the
Linc. Overall, the Eagles are 1-7
at home since beating Houston
last Dec. 2.
Theyre talented, said Patri-
ots cornerback Kyle Arrington, a
former Eagle who leads the NFL
with seven interceptions. By no
means does their record reflect
their talent.
All that talent hasnt helped
Philadelphia in the standings.
The Eagles are third behind Dal-
las (7-4) and the New York Gi-
ants (6-4) in the NFCEast. How-
ever, theyre 3-1 against division
opponents and have a chance to
win the East if they win their last
six games.
Young saved the Eagles sea-
son by leading them to a 17-10
winat the Giants last Sunday. He
may have to fill in again for Vick,
who broke two ribs in a loss to
Arizona on Nov. 13.
The Patriots have the worst-
ranked defense in the NFL.
Those numbers dont mean
much to Young.
There might be plenty of scor-
ing in this game. New England
has the leagues second-ranked
offense and the Eagles are No. 3.
While the Patriots are last on de-
fense, Philadelphia is tied for
11th, but has been vulnerable all
season.

U P N E X T
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Ben
Roethlisberger doesnt remem-
ber a whole lot about the last
time the Pittsburgh Steelers
played the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Steelers quarterback sus-
tained a concussion when his
head banged
intothekneeof
Chiefs line-
backer Derrick
Johnson as he
leaned head-
first during a
running play in
overtime. He
came back to
play some of
his best games
of the 2009 sea-
son afterward,
twice throwing
for threetouch-
downs without
aninterception
and leading
Pittsburgh to a
second-place
finish in the
AFC East.
It certainly
wasnt the first
time Big Ben
was banged up.
There have been numerous
concussions, several knee inju-
ries, and a fractured thumb sus-
tained a few weeks ago against
Cincinnati. Roethlisberger plans
to play Sunday night against
Kansas City, even though he ad-
mitted itll be painful, and thats
dreadful news to the Chiefs.
The truth is that Roethlisberg-
er seems to play better whenhes
ailing.
Hes an extremely intense
competitor, Steelers coach
Mike Tomlin said, and I think
adversity suchas that brings that
out of him. I think its a charac-
teristic that all goodcompetitors
have.
Pittsburgh had last week off,
giving Roethlisberger time to
heal. But the thumb still both-
ered him in practice this week,
and he didnt take snaps under
center early in the week, work-
ing out of the shotgun with a
splint under his glove to protect
it.
Its unclear how Pittsburgh
might alter its playbook in light
of the injury, though it wont be
the first time there have been
subtle tweaks. The teamworked
out of the shotgun and pistol last
year against Baltimore to take
some of the pressure off Roeth-
lisbergers sprained foot.
Ill be out there, I guarantee
that, Roethlisberger said. It
wont be anissue that way. Will it
be an issue with pain and throw-
ing? I dont know.
Focus over pain
Roethlisberger said he doesnt
plan to take an injection to numb
the pain. Instead, hell simply
play right through it, something
hes done with tremendous suc-
cess at other times in his career.
For me the reason I want to
play is for my guys, he said.
When youre dinged up a little
bit, you have to play a little bet-
ter, concentratealittlebit more.
It would take a lot more than a
banged up thumb to keep Roeth-
lisberger out this week. The
Steelers (7-3) are a half-game be-
hind Baltimore (8-3) in the
tough AFC North, with Cincin-
nati just a game back, headingin-
to this weeks games. They have
a good opportunity to pick up a
win on the road against the
Chiefs (4-6), who have lost three
straight and been ravaged by in-
juries all season.
The latest occurredtwoweeks
ago, when quarterback Matt
Cassel hurt his throwing hand
late ina loss toDenver. Any hope
that hed be able to return this
season vanished the very next
day when he had season-ending
surgery, turning the reins of an
offense already missing tight
end Tony Moeaki and All-Pro
running back Jamaal Charles to
a journeyman quarterback in
Tyler Palko.
Palko appeared comfortable
despite throwing three intercep-
tions in a 34-3 loss last week at
NewEngland, whichearnedhim
another start Sunday. After that
is anyones guess.
The Chiefs picked up Kyle Or-
ton off waivers fromthe Broncos
on Wednesday, but he couldnt
make it to Kansas City until Fri-
day. That meant there was vir-
tually no chance he could get up
to speed in time to play against
the Steelers. With a tough
stretch coming up, though, the
Chiefs were willing to pay the
roughly $2.6 million Orton is
still owed to potentially play in
just five games.
In the meantime, Palko is pre-
paring to make the second start
of his professional career against
a team that has made a habit of
competing for Super Bowls. The
son of a high school coach in
western Pennsylvania said hes
undaunted by the challenge, es-
pecially after making his debut
in a high-profile game Monday
night at New England.
I was surprisingly calm
throughout the whole game,
Palko said.
Playing the Steelers is espe-
cially meaningful for Palko be-
cause he grew up watching the
Steelers, and even played at
Heinz Fieldwhile he was leading
the University of Pittsburgh.
The fact Kansas City could
turnaroundits seasonwitha vic-
tory the Chiefs are two games
behind AFC West-leading Oak-
land only adds to the pres-
sure. Another loss with a tough
stretch looming would almost
certainly eliminate Haleys crew
from playoff contention.
Im fired up, Palko said. It
was fun growing up in Pitts-
burgh, seeing the Steelers, the
black and gold, understanding
the tradition. Its exciting and
Im looking forward to it.

NFL SUNDAY
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Hope yall had a great one. I had my turkey last
week. It was that Bills-over-Dolphins pick, which I still cannot rationally explain.
Otherwise had a decent week, including an outright upset with Seattle winning at
St. Lou, and a couple of with-points hits on Broncos covering vs. Jets and Red-
skins-plus against Dallas. Wins by Ravens and Falcons were the two games that
pushed. Built in excuse if we fizzle on our Week 12 picks below. It was the dog-
gone tryptophan fromThursdays pile-driving gorge of a meal. Made me too
groggy to concentrate!

Thanksgiving Day pulled rank and stole Week 12s best games, so it was a picked-
over carcass left to the Game of the Week committee. This one will fit the bill as
long as the Philly we saw last week deigns to show up again. The game stayed
off bet-boards because Mike Vicks ribs continued to make himquestionable, but
Vick or Vince Young would face the same susceptible Patriots pass defense.
Eagles in upsetting Giants last week finally showed the potential expected back
during all the DreamTeamtalk, with the Birds defense especially coming out of
hiding. It will take that same teamto upset the Pats. English coming off Monday
win and short week. Give me desperation and a home field. Birds.

AAWWK! shouts the Upset Bird. The bright side? This cannot possibly be a
worse pick than when I had Buffalo beating Miaaawwwk. Can it? This game had
GOTWpotential until Jay Cutler went and got hurt, leaving Chicagos QB as
Caleb Hanie, fixing to make his first career NFL start. I hear the name Caleb
Hanie and I picture a farmer tilling a field under the harsh flat brimof an Amish
hat. Where was I? Carson Palmer might throw for miles on a substandard Bears
pass defense, yes. But his chances might be limited because Matt Forte is run-
ning wildly on a most-generous Oaks run-D. Chicago is the better teamhere. Im

Ammann, notes U-Bird, muttering the name of the Amish founder. Caleb
Haaawwwk!
CARDINALS (3-7) AT RAMS (2-8)
Line: Off board
Cotes pick: STL 23-19
Time: 1 p.m.
Our Mutt matchup is another one kept off the wagering boards due to QB doubt.
Kevin Kolb is close to returning for Zona but probably not Sunday, so it looks like
another dose of John Red Skelton, who last week would have had to have
been better to rise to the level of abysmal. The Cacti are 1-5 on the road, and St.
Lous Steven Jackson should enjoy strong numbers against a Cardbirds run
defense that was bad even before losing NT Dan Williams to injury. Plus, wont
SamBradford happen upon another decent game one of these months? Just by
chance, perhaps?
TEXANS (7-3) AT JAGUARS (3-7)
Line: HOU by 3
Cotes pick: HOU21-13
Time: 1 p.m.
Houston is an immensely better teambut, again, QB play is the great equalizer
and the Texans fall off a cliff there losing Matt Schaub to injury for the season
and his replacement being Matt Leinart, who has thrown more parties than
passes in the NFL. This will be Matts first start since Nov. 29, 2009, although he
gets a nice welcome-back gift with Andre Johnson returning frominjury. John-
son, heavy doses of Arian Foster and a truly lousy Jax offense mean visitors get
by despite Leinart.
BILLS (5-5) AT JETS (5-5)
Line: NYJ by 8
Cotes pick: NYJ 24-20
Time: 1 p.m., CBS
Aside to Rex Ryan: Hey hows that well-win-the-Super Bowl boast workin out for
ya, pal? These teams have lost five in a row between thembut the Buffs slide
has been steeper, outscored106-26 in the past three losses. And nowthe Bison
will be missing top weapon Fred Jackson. Like Planes a lot outright, but bet-line
feels fat. Ryan Fitzpatrick is due a rebound game. Lets hunch wounded Williams
muster all remaining pride and keep it close.
BROWNS (4-6) AT BENGALS (6-4)
Line: CIN by 7

Cotes pick: CIN21-16
Time: 1 p.m.
Cincy is on a 6-1 run at home vs. its state-mate rivals in this series, and has won
five of the past six overall over the Earthtones including 27-17 on Kickoff Week-
end. Clevelands defense keeps it hanging around games but that moribund
offense treats red zones like quicksand. Cannot see Gals losing but see it closer
than the line as the home team(with Pittsburgh on deck) plays this one on
auto-pilot.
VIKINGS (2-8) AT FALCONS (6-4)

Cotes pick: ATL 24-17
Time: 1 p.m., FOX
Vikes dont travel well and now are almost certain to be missing top star Adrian
Peterson to an ankle sprain, heaping a ton of pressure on rookie QB Christian
Ponder (the NFLs second-most prominent Christian, after TimTebow). Matt Ryan
should find plenty of passing lanes against a porous Minny secondary. And yet
despite it all this is a lot of points for Lanta to cover.

Line: CAR by 3

Cotes pick: CAR 27-16
Time: 1 p.m.
Naturally the Dog of the Week panel thought long and hard about this game, but
ultimately decided the winlessness and train-wreck quality of the Colts offered a
gruesome appeal all its own. For the only teamthat took Suck For Luck seriously
this looks like the last best shot to dodge 0-16 and it could happen! I stood on
the edge of calling the Nags first victory, in fact, and might regret I didnt. The
thing is, CamNewton might throw and run for 459 yards, give or take.
BUCCANEERS (4-6) AT TITANS (5-5)
Line: TEN by 3
Cotes pick: TEN24-20
Time: 1 p.m.
Tenners are 6-0 all-time at home vs. the Tee Bees. More than that, they put a
better defense than Tampa on this home field. Also, fantasy owners who have
stuck with maddening Chris Johnson could be rewarded here. Bucs run defense
has been worst in league the past four games, allowing 162 yards per. High upset
potential, but the notion of a Johnson revival and the venue tilt this one.
REDSKINS (3-7) AT SEAHAWKS (4-6)
Line: SEA by 4
Cotes pick: WAS 20-17
Time: 4:05 p.m.
Upset! These two have comparably tepid offenses and fairly solid defenses.
Washington showed in taking Dallas into overtime last week that it is an under-
performing teamthat has no business on a six-game losing streak. The Skins are
way due, in other words, and should catch the Seabirds in overconfidence-mode.
By the way, anybody else noticed that Mike Shanahan has an egregiously red
complexion?

Cotes pick: SD 26-20
Time: 4:15 p.m.
Ah, TimTebow. Somewhere in the Bible there surely is a psalmthat reads, Lo,
but I would smite thee who is unbelieving of a man who throws an awful pass
and yet, yay, knows the rapture of winning. Or something like that. Picture the
Tebow bandwagon with a flat. San Diego is better, despite its unholy five-game
losing streak, and will show it. Although the bet-line is blasphemously large.
STEELERS (7-3) AT CHIEFS (4-6)
Line: PIT by 10
Cotes pick: PIT 24-16
Time: 8:20 p.m., NBC
Pittsburgh is coming off a bye, which this season has meant rust as much as
readiness. Ben Roethlisberger is test-driving a thumb injury. KC is coming of an
embarrassing home performance vs. New England on Monday night. Whats it all
mean? Chiefs cant hep but show better on this prime-time stage. Tyler Palko or
not, expect a competitive game.

Lets see. At New Orleans. Eli Manning fromthere. Hmm. Over/under on number
of times ESPN shows Archie and Peyton Manning sitting in a suite: 4. (Give me

EASTRUTHERFORD, N.J.
A sense of urgency is driving the
struggling Buffalo Bills and New
York Jets these days.
Mounting losses. Injuries.
Fading playoff chances.
Theyve all combined to turn a
pair of promising teams that
once appeared poised to de-
throne the New England Patri-
ots inthe AFCEast intoscuffling
squads desperate for a victory.
Its a must-win game for us,
Jets wide receiver Santonio
Holmes said. We knowwhats at
stake right now. We have to
come out firing just like we did
against these guys the last game
we played them.
The Jets (5-5) host the Bills
(5-5) at MetLife Stadium in a
game New York coach Rex Ryan
said marks the start of his teams
playoff push. It was only three
weeks agothat the Jets wontheir
third straight game by dominat-
ing the Bills 27-11.
Neither team has won since.
Two bad losses by New York;
three straight for Buffalo.
Theyve been in a little slump
as well as we have, Holmes said.
We know its another game on
the schedule and they get paid
just as well as we do, so theyre
going to be ready to come out
and put a real good stamp into
our playoff chances right now. So
we have to be on high alert right
now.
Thats for sure. But, so do the
Bills. As far as both teams are
concerned, their playoff chances
depend on it.
I think especially the last
(few) weeks have been hard on
us, Bills quarterback Ryan Fitz-
patrick said. The biggest thing
for us is weve really fallen down
early, fallenbehindandtakenbig
deficits. Unfortunately, we
havent been able to come back
from those.
Fitzpatricks play has beenone
reason. Since signing a six-year,
$59 million contract extension
on Oct. 28, he has mostly strug-
gled with four touchdowns and
eight interceptions in four
games following a terrific start.
In Buffalos last three losses, the
Bills have been outscored106-26
including a 35-8 thrashing at
Miami last Sunday.
Well were not playing the
way we were playing earlier in
the season and its not necessar-
ily (Fitzpatrick), even though I
thinkhebelieves hecanplaya lit-
tle bit better than he has been
playing, Bills coach Chan Gai-
ley said. But we can all do bet-
ter, every one of us can, me in-
cluded. I watch him play and it
seems like weve had a different
offensive line in there each week
for the last three or four weeks
and it seems like weve had dif-
ferent receivers going out there
each week, so its been hard on
him.
There will be some more of
the same lineup shuffling this
week for the Bills as running
back Fred Jackson, their biggest
offensive star, was placed on in-
jured reserve with a broken bone
in his lower left leg. That means
the speedy C.J. Spiller will get
more playing time in the back-
field instead at wide receiver,
where he has been lined up a lot
this season.
Welost a great player, but this
seasons far from over, Spiller
said. Ive just got to elevate my
game to a higher level. Ive got to
play at kind of a level that Fred
was playing at. Of course, we
wont replace him, thats obvi-
ous. So well just have to try our
best and go out there and exe-
cute.

U P N E X T
NEWORLEANS Whether a
two-game skid and a tough up-
coming schedule could combine
tospell doomfortheNewYorkGi-
ants is a question Eli Manning
sees little point in addressing
right now.
Its not about whoour next op-
ponent is or what the standings
are inthe division, Manning said
as the Giants (6-4) prepared for
their matchup with the Saints
(7-3) in New Orleans on Monday
night.
When you start looking ahead
or trying to calculate other teams
that teams in our division are
playing, and wins and losses, or
howmany games youhave to win
to get in the playoffs, thats when
you lose focus.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin is
in no mood to dwell on whether
the Giants seasonis onthe brink,
either.
Its interesting that after a cou-
ple of seven-point losses we are
going to talk about that, Cough-
lin said this week when asked
about the potential for a late-sea-
son swoon. Its difficult for me to
understand why theres nothing
more prevalent to talk about than
that.
While consecutive close loses
toSanFranciscoandPhiladelphia
couldhardlybeconsideredshock-
ing, thetimingof NewYorks slide
could not be much worse.
The Dallas Cowboys recent
surge has vaulted them to a half-
gameleadintheNFCEast, mean-
ing the Giants must now try to
keep pace by winning in New Or-
leans, where the Saints are 4-0
this season.
If the Giants difficulties persist
in the Big Easy, theyll face the
prospect of a four-game losing
streak when they host unbeaten
Green Bay the following week.
New Orleans also has tough
games coming up, but thats a
more comfortable topic of discus-
sion for the Saints, whove won
two straight and enter Week 12
withaone-gameleadover Atlanta
in the NFC South.
Following its meeting with a
desperate Giants squad that only
a few weeks ago played well
enough to knock off the Patriots
in New England, New Orleans
will then host Detroit.
We have a couple of confer-
ence games coming up that could
affect playoff positioning, which I
knowwe aspire to be there, as do
the two teams were playing com-
ing up, Saints quarterback Drew
Brees said. Its very much strate-
gic. Thesegamesmeanthat much
more because of that.
If the Giants want to reverse
their fortunes, theyll likely have
to find a way to slowdown Brees,
whose 3,326yards passingledthe
league through last weeks games
and represented the most yards
passing through10 games in NFL
history.
Coughlin hopes New York can
manage that with pressure froma
defensive line as formidable as
any in the league. Defensive ends
JasonPierre-Paul andOsi Umeny-
iora have combined for 17 1/2
sacks.
Saints not the cure-all they used to be
Giants are looking to escape
a two-game skid that has
eroded their NFC East lead.

against the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Rangers won 2-0.

ST. PAUL, Minn. Paul Deutschs pals in
his recreational hockey league needed to
find a replacement goalie Wednesday night.
The 51-year-old embroidery shop owner was
going to be suiting up for another team: The
NHLs Minnesota Wild.
The Wild signed Deutsch to an amateur
tryout contract to serve as an emergency
backup to starter Josh Harding for Wednes-
days game against the Nashville Predators.
Actually giving up my Wednesday night
game, Deutsch said. We play at Blooming-
tonIce Gardens at 9:45 p.m. till they turnthe
lights off. I cant make it.
Deutsch was signed after Niklas Back-
stromwas declaredout for personal reasons.
Matt Hackett was recalled from Houston,
but his flight wasnt scheduled to land in the
Twin Cities until about 6:30 p.m. and, with
the holiday traffic, Minnesota couldnt take
any chances of being short a goaltender.
Deutschs improbable shot at playinginan
NHL game ended almost as quickly as it
started, though. Hackett arrived at the arena
just before the 7 p.m. game time and
Deutsch was scratched.
Wearing a pair of former Wild goaltender
Manny Fernandezs pads, Deutsch participa-
ted in pregame warmups.
Deutsch never made it to the bench dur-
ing the game. Instead he watched from a
suite with members of his daughters un-
der-14 girls hockey team. Deutsch is a coach
for the teamand the suite was arranged long
before Deutschreceiveda call fromthe Wild.
Another goaltendingcontroversythere, if
he got in there, who knows, Wild coach
Mike Yeo joked after the game. Its great for
him and he handled it great. Guys really en-
joyed having him in there.
Deutsch watched the Wild win their fifth
straight game with starting goaltender Josh
Harding making 23 saves. He likely felt
much more comfortable watching from the
suite than he would have at ice-level.
Told me I better be good tonight so he
didnt have to go in, Harding said. It was a
lot of fun for him.
Deutschs signing was not as unlikely as it
seems for someone wholast playedina com-
petitive league in1978, when he was a junior
varsity defenseman for Minneapolis Roose-
velt High School.
He is a good friend of former Wild assist-
ant coachMikeRamseyandhas beenusedas
a fill-in goalie at Minnesota practices.
And because of NHL rules, the Wild we-
rent allowed to sign a goaltender with pro-
fessional experience. Deutschs amateur
tryout contract fit within the rules.
Its very nervous, Deutsch said. Prac-
tice is one thing. I have to tell you the game
faces are on. I dont see that very often with
these guys. At practice its calm, laughing
and ha-has. Game day is different.
Deutsch runs a screen printing and em-
broidery store in a St. Paul suburb and plays
recreational hockey. He didnt even start
playing goalie until he was 37.
When you play senior mens hockey and
there is nogoalie, there is nogame, Deutsch
said. Thats how I started. I was tired of
coming into the room and saying Oh rats,
there arent two goalies. Guys would litera-
lly go home. So I said, You know what, Im
going to play.

HAINAN, China Rory
McIlroy and Graeme McDowell
will head into the final round of
the World Cup with a two-stroke
lead after a convincing perform-
ance for Ireland in the fourballs
on Saturday.
The Irish duo hit eight birdies
to finish the third round with an
8-under 64, and a 21-under total
of 195 at the Mission Hills com-
plex.
However, the second-ranked
McIlroy and 2010 U.S. Open
champion McDowell will be
unable to rest easy Sunday with
Germany, South Africa and the
United States all tied for second
at 197.
Martin Kaymer and Alex
Cekja made 11 birdies in their
11-under 61 on the Blackstone
course carved out of cooled lava
rock.
We saw the scoreboard on
the sixth green and we saw
Germany were off to a flyer,
McDowell said. We actually
expected that today. We are
probably a little disappointed
that we couldnt pick up a cou-
ple more shots on the way in.
We really could have put a little
bit of daylight between us and
the chasing pack.
McDowell did not need re-
minding about what the Ireland
team faces on Sunday.
We are going to have to go
and play well tomorrow its
as simple as that, he said.
Germanys feat was matched
by South Africans Charl
Schwartzel and Louis Oosthui-
zen, who also managed a 61.
The U.S. team of Gary Wood-
land and Matt Kuchar had 10
birdies and one bogey in a 9-
under 63.
Today was a great day. We
ham and egged it pretty well,
Woodland said. Matt really got
us going early. I was kind of all
over the place, and he made a
birdie on the first hole and got
the edge off and then made
three or four in a row. I was
struggling and he picked me up.
Fortunately, I made some
putts on the back nine. Hopeful-
ly gives us a lot more momen-
tum going into tomorrow.
Australian PGA
COOLUM, Australia K.T.
Kim played steadily over the
back nine while other chal-
lengers fell around him, shoot-
ing a bogey-free 5-under 67
Saturday to take a one-stroke
lead over Bubba Watson into the
final round of the Australian
PGA.
Kim, who played for the los-
ing International side at the
Presidents Cup at Royal Mel-
bourne last week, had a 54-hole
total of 13-under 203 at the
Hyatt Regency resort course.
Watson, who held the lead for
part of the third round, double-
bogeyed the par-5 15th with two
bad chips out of the rough to
finish with a 69 after eagling the
opening par-5 first.
Aaron Baddeley was in third
place after a 67, three strokes
behind. Second-round leader
Marcus Fraser (74), Y.E. Yang
(70) and David Bransdon (67)
were tied for fourth, four strokes
behind.
Despite winning his last two
matches at the Presidents Cup,
Kim said he wasnt expecting a
lot at Coolum.
Watson had an eventful 18th,
pulling his tee shot into the
rough, then hitting a shot with
his rescue club into the green
which ricocheted into a mar-
quee, off a spectator and
bounced into rough near the
green. But the American got up
and down for par to stay within
one of Kim.
Watson wasnt happy having
to wait 20 minutes on the 18th
tee for twosomes to be wait-
ing that long is weird.
Then he had to cool his heels
for about 15 minutes in the
media center while Kim had an
elongated interview with an
interpreter.
South African Open
JOHANNESBURG South
Africas Hennie Otto shot a
7-under 65 Saturday and took a
three-shot lead after three
rounds of the South African
Open while countrymen Retief
Goosen and Ernie Els stumbled.
Otto had seven birdies and an
eagle, leaving him at 14 under
on Jack Nicklaus-designed the
Serengeti course. He is followed
by four players Goosen, Swe-
dens Magnus Carlsson and
South Africans Thomas Aiken
and Garth Mulroy.

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

LONDONEvery time Roger
Federer steps onto the court, an-
other milestone seems to be
within grasp.
He seized another one Satur-
day, reaching his 100th career fi-
nal by beating David Ferrer 7-5,
6-3 in the semifinals of the ATP
World Tour Finals. Federer could
add a few more Sunday. Hes in
positiontowinhis 70thtitle over-
all and a record sixth at the sea-
son-ending tournament for the
worlds top eight players.
Its obviously a special occa-
sion for me, said Federer, who
will play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in
the final.
Tsonga beat Tomas Berdych of
the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-5 in the
late match, putting the sixth-
seeded Frenchman into the final
of this event for the first time, in
only his second appearance.
Roger is the best player for the
moment indoors, Tsonga said.
Its going to be really special
here, for my first final here. Its
going to be an amazing atmo-
sphere on court, and I like that. ...
I know its the last match (of the
year) so I will give it everything.
The victory over Ferrer sent
Federer past Andy Murray to No.
3 in the year-end rankings, trail-
ing No. 1Novak Djokovic and Ra-
fael Nadal.
Djokovic and Nadal were elim-
inated after losing two of their
round-robin matches this week,
both saying their minds and bod-
ies werent up for top-level tennis
following another grueling sea-
son. Murray pulled out injured
following his opening loss to Fer-
rer on Monday.
Federer who holds a record
16 Grand Slam titles is tied
with Ivan Lendl and Pete Sam-
pras with five victories at the
ATP Finals, formerly known as
the Masters Cup. A win Sunday
would also tie Lendls record of
39 match victories in the event.
Federer became the fifthplayer
toreach100finals inthe openera,
joining Jimmy Connors (163),
Lendl (146), JohnMcEnroe (108)
and Guillermo Vilas (104).
Im shocked every time that
Ive reached so many finals or
won against so many players or
whatever record it is, Federer
said. It strikes me andmakes me
obviously very happy and very
proud that Ive been able to do it
for so many years at the highest
of levels.
And with his 806th victory Sat-
urday, Federer moved into a
share of sixth place on the career
list with Stefan Edberg.
In a tournament where his big-
gest rivals complained of fatigue
after failing to make it out of the
group stage, Federer showed no
signs of slowing down. The 30-
year-old Swiss star extended his
unbeaten streak to16 matches af-
ter winning titles inBasel andPa-
ris before coming to London.
Federer has played some of his
best tennis of the year in London,
and while he did not look as
sharp against Ferrer as he did in
his three group-stage victories,
he never faced a break point. He
broke the fifth-seeded Spaniard
twice in the second set and con-
verted his second match point
with a forehand winner.
Ferrer came within two points
of the first set six times in Feder-
ers service game when the Spa-
niardled5-4. But he never earned
a break point in a game that went
to deuce five times, and Federer
finally held when Ferrer sent a
backhand passing shot wide.
That marked a turning point,
with Federer winning the next
four games as well to take con-
trol.

LOME, Togo At least six
topflight Togolese soccer players
were killed and another 28 peo-
ple critically injured on Saturday
after a bus carrying their team
plunged into a ravine and caught
fire.
Ina statement readonnational
television, the Togo government
said President Faure Gnassingbe
had ordered that those injured
from the Etoile Filante club be
taken to the military wing of the
Lome Central Hospital toreceive
urgent medical attention.
A delegation, led by sports
minister Christophe Tchao, trav-
eled to the accident site with an
ambulance to evacuate the in-
jured.
The accident happened near
the city of Atakpame, about 160
kilometers (100 miles) north of
Lome, as Etoile Filante was onits
way to Togos second largest city
of Sokode for Sundays league
game against Semassi.
Atire is believed to have burst,
causing the bus to topple over
and plunge down a ravine. Some
of the victims reportedly burnt to
death. Eyewitness accounts said
the bus flipped over several
times as it crashed into the ra-
vine.
We do not knowhowwe man-
aged to get out of the accident,
said one of the survivors, goal-
keeper Mama Souleyman.
Images on Togo national tele-
vision showed the smoldering
wreckage of the bus, which was
almost completely burnt to ash-
es.
Team a contender
Lome-based Etoile Filante is a
seven-time Togo national league
champion and was runner-up in
Africas continental club compe-
tition in 1968.
Last year, two Togo national
team officials were killed and
several players hurt after a gun
attackonthe teams bus as it trav-
eled to the African Cup of Na-
tions tournament in Angola.
In 2007, Togo sports minister
Richard Attipoe was among 22
people who died when a helicop-
ter carrying Togolese soccer fans
and officials crashed in Sierra Le-
one after an African Cup qualify-
ing match.

DENVER Former heavy-
weight contender Ron Lyle, who
fought Muhammad Ali for the ti-
tle in 1975 and later battled Ge-
orgeForeman, has diedinDenver
at age 70.
Lyle died Saturday from com-
plications from a sudden stom-
ach ailment, said Ron McKinney,
a Salvation Army official in Den-
ver. Details werent immediately
available.
McKinney, a family friend who
hired Lyle to start the charitys
boxing program in 2002, said
Lyle retired from the program
last December but continued to
work out at the gym every day
I just saw him yesterday (Fri-
day), McKinney said. You
looked at him and he looked like
he was ready tostepintothe ring.
Shake hands with him, and its
like shaking a piece of steel.
The gym, called Red Shield
Cox-Lyle Boxing, would showre-
plays of Lyles fights every Friday
night as inspiration for some of
the programs 100 students,
McKinney said.
Lyle lost to both Ali and Fore-
man in the mid-1970s.
After his career in boxing, Lyle
lived in Las Vegas where he
trained young boxers and worked
as a security guard.
He made a brief comeback in
1995 at age 54 and hoped to fight
Foreman again in a fight jokingly
billed as Old and Older. Lyle
hoped for a better result than the
1976 match in which he took a
beating from Foreman. He also
toyed with the idea of fighting
Mike Tyson but neither fight ma-
terialized.

Yuzuru Hanyu and Mao Asada
overcame errors in their free

The 16-year-old Hanyu, who
finished second behind Javier

taled 241.66 points to edge the
Spaniard by three-hundredths of
a point and win his first Grand

STILLWATER, Okla. An
emotionally exhausting nine
days for the Oklahoma State
Cowgirls ended Saturday with
hugs, tears and a few smiles.
In their first game since a
plane crash killed coach Kurt
Budke, assistant coach Miranda
Serna and two others, the Cow-
girls beat Coppin State 59-35
behind 17 points from Tiffany
Bias.
The Cowgirls celebrated the
victory by standing arm in arm
on the floor and singing uni-
versitys alma mater with the
crowd of 3,557. Interim coach
Jim Littell and many of the
players then pointed their index
fingers toward the sky and went
into the stands to hug Budkes
wife, Shelley, and other Budke
family members, who attended
the game and sat behind the
home bench.
Their presence didnt sur-
prise Bias, a sophomore guard
who wrote "Serna" on one of
her orange shoes and "Budke"
on the other.
"It just shows how much
OSU is a family," Bias said.
"Thats what the Budke family
is. Theyre a family, and were
their extended family. No mat-
ter what the tragedy is . they
are going to come out and sup-
port us."
In the immediate wake of the
Nov. 17 crash in Arkansas, Okla-
homa State postponed home
games last weekend against
Grambling State and Texas-
Arlington, but university offi-
cials decided to resume the
Cowgirls schedule Saturday,
five days after a memorial ser-
vice for the victims inside Gal-
lagher-Iba Arena.
"Its the best therapy we
could have," university Presi-
dent Burns Hargis said of the
Cowgirls return to the court. "I
just think the whole OSU family
came together wonderfully. Its
not going to be easy. There are
going to be a lot of tough times
ahead . but if we pull together,
well figure out a way to get
through this."
Littell guided Oklahoma
State (2-0) against Coppin State
(1-3), and the Cowgirls made it
easy on him, as he never so
much as had to call a timeout.
The Cowgirls have won 55 of
their last 56 nonconference
home games.
"I thought today got much
deeper than just the basketball
part of it," Littell said. "I
thought we had a chance to pay
honor today, and I was very,
very proud of our kids. I was
very, very proud of our coaches.
"I just told our players that
Ive been fortunate over the
years to be surrounded by a lot
of good players and have a lot of
success. Ive never been more
proud of a group than I was
today."

coach and an assistant were killed in a plane crash.
Cowgirls back on court after tragedy
ASPEN, Colo. Viktoria Re-
bensburg of Germany darted in
between the shadows, daring to
charge on a demanding course
with little margin for error.
That go-for-broke mentality
helped Rebensburg make up
nearly a second on the final run
to hold off Elisabeth Goergl of
Austria to win a World Cup giant
slalom on Saturday. It was Re-
bensburgs fourthWorldCupwin
in her career.
Julia Mancuso finished third
to become the first American to
wind up on the podium at this
venue since 2004. But another
streak lives on: No U.S. skier has
won in Aspen since Tamara
McKinney nearly three decades
ago.
Rebensburg blazed through
the course in a combined time of
2 minutes, 11.25 seconds, edging
Goergl, the leader after the first
run, by 0.33 seconds.
My heart was beating pretty
(hard) when Liz came to the last
pitch down there, Rebensburg
said. I didnt know if it was
enough for me. I knew I had to
push the limit. I really pushed.
Her teammate, reigning over-
all World Cup champion Maria
Hoefl-Riesch, caught an edge on
her final run, skidded off course
and didnt finish.
Lindsey Vonn, who was well
back in 21st place after the first
run, zoomed down the twisting
and bumpy course to wind up
12th, 1.74 seconds behind Re-
bensburg.
Vonns confidence was soaring
heading into this event, especial-
lyafter winningtheseason-open-
ing giant slalomrace in Soelden,
Austria, last month. But on a
course thats always given her
trouble, Vonn held back on her
first pass and was 2.12 seconds
off the lead.
She picked up the tempo on
her second run, but simply had
too much ground to make up.
Vonns skiing has been limited
after tweaking her back in train-
ing last week. She has been rely-
ing on massages and heating
pads to keep her back loose.
Im trying to pretend like I
feel OK, Vonn said after her first
run. I was a little too nervous to-
day. I just wasnt really myself.
Frances Tessa Worley, the
reigning champion at Aspen,
failed to successfully navigate
the course in the first run, as did
Italys Federica Brignone, one of
the favorites to wind up on the
podium.
Lara Gut of Switzerland
wound up fifth despite having
the second-fastest time in the
morning. Then again, that per-
formance almost came as a sur-
prise toher. Gut typicallydoesnt
fare well on American slopes.
Teenager Mikaela Shiffrin of
the U.S. had a solid opening run,
but missed qualifying for anoth-
er run.
I had a lot of fun, made some
mistakes, had some good turns
and overall had a good run, said
the 16-year-old Shiffrin, whos
competing in her first full season
on the World Cup circuit.
Its always a disappointment
tocome downandknowthat you
didnt make second run. But at
the same time Im happy with
many of the turns that I made
and I just want to keep this good
positive feeling going.

here is anenemyamongus as we
headintothe woods for the open-
ingdayof deer seasontomorrow.
It lurks onthe forest floor andinthe
branches above the ground.
Tomake matters worse, this particular
enemyis rarelyseenuntil it is attachedto
your skin.
Ticks.
Theyve beenseeminglymore numer-
ous inthe woods eachhuntingseason,
but this year, fromwhat Ive seen, has
beenthe worst.
AtriptoBradfordCountya couple
weeks agotohunt fall turkeyturnedup10
ticks clingingtomypants whenI exited
the woods.
Last weekend, while scoutingfor deer
signs ina large tract of woods inMoun-
tainTop, I pulledoff dozens of ticks
throughout the day, not tomentionthe 70
or more that were onmydog.
Everyfewminutes Idstopandsweep
ticks off mypants, onlytohave a new
batchreappear. Some were as small as the
tipof a pen, some were all blackand
others hada darkredtiponthe body.
For as manyas I foundit seemedthat
the entire forest floor was coatedwith
ticks, andthere was nosafe haven. With
everystepI tookinthe dryleaves, more
ticks wouldappear.
It made what shouldve beenanen-
joyable dayinthe woods a frustratingone.
Not surprisingly, several successful
archeryhunters inthe area have saidtheir
deer were infestedwiththe pest.
Theyre everywhere.
Numbersincreasing
Duringthe summer, I spoke toDr.
DougAyers of the Plains Animal Hospital
about ticks andthe dangers theypose to
pets. Ayers has beenpracticingfor 21
years andhe saidhes never seenit this
bad. He addedthat ticks seemtobe worse
inthe springandinthe fall.
That windowseems tobe spreading
late intoNovember as mildtemperatures
linger.
Aroundthe same time I spoke toAyers,
I alsoaskedDr. StevenOstroff of the state
Department of Healthif ticknumbers are
increasing.
It is, he said, addingthat Pennsylvania
has between4,000and5,000lyme disease
cases eachyear, rankingit inthe topfive
states inthe country.
The major culprit for lyme disease is
the deer tick, but deer arent where the
disease originates.
Pennsylvania Game Commissionwild-
life veterinarianDr. Walt Cottrell saidthe
deer mouse is the primarycarrier of the
bacteria that causes lyme disease. If a tick
feeds ona deer mouse carryingthe bacte-
ria, thenit becomes infectedandcan
transmit the bacteria whenit feeds on
other hosts.
Fortunately, if youdofinda tick-- or
more likely, ticks -- bitingintoyour skin,
there is time.
Ostroff saidonce the tickattaches to
your skinit feeds until it becomes en-
gorged. Afterward, he said, the tickbegins
regurgitatingintothe host, andthats
whenthe lyme bacteria is transmitted.
Youhave approximately24hours toget
the thingoff before it caninfect youwith
lyme disease.
The days that Ive foundthe most ticks
crawlingonmypants were unseasonably
warmanddry. Perhaps the rainwe had
duringthe weekwas enoughtoknockthe
tickpopulationdowna little bit, but even
if it was Imsure theyre thrivingagain
after the warmweekendweve had.
I guess the threat of ticks wont goaway
until the groundfreezes or the snowfalls.
Its frustrating, but the presence of ticks
andthe threat of lyme disease arent
enoughtokeepme out of the woods for
the first dayof deer season.
Heck, its not goingtokeepme out of
the woods anytime duringthe year.
But it is goingtomake me stockupon
DEETandother repellents.
Andwhile Ill be keepingone eye open
for deer onMonday, Ill keepthe other on
the lookout for that little enemylurking
onthe forest floor.

Pesky ticks are
truly a hazard
for the hunter
Chris Denmon isnt a biologist. He
just plays one on the first day of deer
season.
For the last nine years, Denmon and
other members of the North Mountain
Branch of the Quality Deer Manage-
ment Association have operated a deer
check station on the first day of the
rifle deer season. Successful hunters
can bring their deer to the check sta-
tion in Sweet Valley to have it weighed,
aged and, if its a buck, its antlers mea-
sured.
Denmon, who is president of the
North Mountain Branch, usually gets a
buck during the archery season, so he
is one of the branch members willing to
give up the opening day of the rifle
season to work the check station. With
a passion for whitetails and biology, the
Sweet Valley resident looks forward to
collecting data on the deer that are
brought in each year.
I love the opportunity to see some of
these massive racks that come in. Its
like working at a bear check station,
said Denmon, of Lehman Twp.
And like the bear check stations
operated by the Pennsylvania Game
Commission, some interesting data is
collected each season.
Last season a buck with a thick,
eight-point rack was brought in that
Denmon had a hunch was different.
When he inspected the teeth to age the
deer, Denmon estimated it was eight-
and-a-half years old.
The teeth were worn down flat, he
said. It was shot in state forest land
that is hunted pretty hard.
When aging a deer, Denmon said its
important to look at
teeth on both sides of
the jaw. Deer are like
people, he said, as
they favor one side
more than the other
when they eat.
Last year, 69 deer
were brought to the
check station. Den-
mon said 33 percent
were three-and-a-half
years old, followed by
30 percent that were
two-and-a-half. Den-
mon admitted that
the data collected
each year is some-
what skewed because most of the deer
brought in are large bucks, but he said
deer of either sex and any size are im-
portant to be checked.
Having deer of both sexes in all age
classes is important to get a true per-
spective on herd health, he said.
The check station has yielded other
interesting results over the last nine
years. When weights are compared
with rainfall amounts for the spring and
summer prior to the season, Denmon
said there is a correlation between
heavy rains and heavy deer. When the
rainfall is up during the warmer
months, the vegetation is lush and the
body weights and even antler devel-
opment are better.
While it would appear this years
high rainfall amounts will equate to
larger deer, Denmon said that might
not be the case.
We have higher rainfall, but acorn
production appears to be much lower,
he said. I expect
weights to be down in
the deer taken from
the mountains.
Denmon said many
hunters who bring
their deer to the check
station have a genuine
interest in learning
more about their deer.
They want to know its
true weight, age and
how the health of
their deer may reflect
the health of the herd
in the area.
Denmon shares that
interest, aging the
deer that are shot by his hunting party
each season. The oldest was a doe shot
on state game lands that was more than
12 years old. He also found a dead buck
in a food plot years ago that, when a
tooth was pulled and aged, turned out
to be 10-1/2 years old.
Who would think that a buck that
old would be in Pennsylvania? You find
a lot of interesting things simply by
aging deer, Denmon said.
I LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY to see some of these
massive racks that come in. Its like working at a bear
check station.

Hunters are encouragedto donate deer
meat through the Hunters Sharing the
Harvest program to help feed the more
than one million Pennsylvanians who are
at risk to go without food.
The program enables hunters to do-
natedeer for processingintogroundveni-
son for distribution by Pennsylvania food
banks, soup kitchens and pantries.
Hunters can take their deer to one of
more than100 participating meat proces-
sors throughout the state and donate any
amount of their venison to the program
fromseveral pounds to the whole animal.
Any hunter donating an entire deer is
asked to make a minimum$15 tax-deduc-
tible contribution to help cover process-
ing costs. The programcovers all remain-
ing fees.
The Department of Agriculture,
through the federal Emergency Food As-
sistance Program, contributes $1 per
pound of donated venison to reimburse
processors.
Hunters Sharing the Harvest provides
more than 750,000 meals to food banks,
soup kitchens and social service pro-
grams.
Last year, hunters donated nearly
100,000 pounds of venison to more than
4,000 emergency food assistance agen-
cies in 53 participating counties through
the states 21 regional food banks.
Each year, the Hunters Sharing the
Harvest program brings thousands of
pounds of highly desired venison to the
Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, said
Kendall Hanna, executive director of the
regional food bank.
The families we serve look forward to
venison being available each year and,
since 2001, we have distributed more
than 103,000 pounds of the nutritious,
high-protein product for their tables.
Pennsylvanians can also donate money
to the Buck for the Pot campaign, which
supports Hunters Sharing the Harvest.

With rifle deer season
opening tomorrow, hunters
need to be aware that hunting
can put added stress on the
heart and should take extra
steps to protect themselves.
Elements such as cold
weather, rough terrain,
heightened adrenalin levels
and heavy
loads can all
put extra
strain on the
hunters
heart, said
Dr. Steven
Steinhubl, di-
rector of car-
diovascular
wellness at
Geisinger
Health Sys-
tem. This is
particularly
dangerous for
hunters who
lead a mostly
sedentary
lifestyle who
may not be ac-
customed to a
lot of physical
exertion.
Hunters
should check
with their
physicians be-
fore hunting
if they have
any of these
heart disease
risk factors:
high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, obesity, diabetes,
smoking, a family history of
heart disease or lead a seden-
tary lifestyle.
Just the thrill of seeing a
deer can cause the heart rate
to accelerate even beyond the
maximum we are able to in-
duce during treadmill test-
ing, Steinhubl said. When
you add to that extra physical
exertion of negotiating rough
terrain, climbing a tree stand
and potentially dragging a
200-plus pound animal out of
the woods, a hunter could be
in for trouble.
Steinhubl urges hunters to
follow these tips to protect
themselves during the hunt-
ing season:
* Have physician approval
to hunt.
* Never over do it. Listen
to your body and rest as need-
ed.
* Do not drag a deer out of
the woods alone. Use a vehi-
cle or cart.
* Wear layers of clothing to
regulate body temperature as
needed.
* Carry a cell phone, radio
or communication device and
arrange check-in times with
hunting partners.
* Hunt in a group and be
certain someone knows
where you are and when to
expect you back.
* Stay properly hydrated.
* Refrain from consuming
alcohol and smoking the day
before or during hunting.
* Refrain from eating a
heavy meal before hunting.
Hunters should seek imme-
diate medical attention if
they experience dizziness,
chest pain or heart palpita-
tions, according to Steinhubl.
Hunting is a valued activ-
ity for many Pennsylvania
residents, he said. With the
right precautions, it can con-
tinue to be an enjoyable expe-
rience and not a tragic one.
Hunters
must be
ready to
go afield
Physical fitness important to
those heading out for opening
day, and rest of deer season.

DALLAS Logan Haley
spent most of the Texas deer
seasons opening weekend sick.
His father, Danny Haley, wasnt
having much fun, either.
Instead of hunting, he was
nursing a sick son. Logan, 15 at
the time, made a recovery Sat-
urday night, and the hunters
went to their Nolan County
deer blind for a short hunting
session Sunday morning.
Logan turned 16 on Monday,
and his family and friends had
planned a surprise party at 3:30
p.m. Sunday. Theyd made a
long drive for a short hunt but
it turned out to be worthwhile.
"About 9 a.m., I saw a deer in
the ranch road, facing away
from us with his head down,
feeding, and his front legs wide
apart," said Danny Haley.
"There was something unusual
about the deer and, when I
looked closer, it appeared to be
a huge non-typical buck. All I
could see was horns."
Logan studied the deer and
thought he was seeing two
bucks fighting, except there
wasnt much action. As soon as
the buck gave him a shot, Lo-
gan took it. As the hunters
walked up to the fallen deer,
they realized why it looked so
unusual.
Logan had shot a live deer
with the antlers of a second
buck locked in its antlers. All
that was left of the second buck
was its head, a portion of its
neck and a husk of hide.
From the odor and appear-
ance of the second deer, Danny
Haley figured it had been dead
three to five days and coyotes
had eaten it, thus freeing the
victor of a buck fight to briefly
continue a normal life with an
odd and smelly crown.
"The buck Logan shot ap-
peared to be in pretty good
shape," said Danny. "He was
out feeding, moving around,
and his movements didnt ap-
pear to be all that hampered."
Logan Haley got an early 16th
birthday present and still made
it home for his surprise party.
His dad is working with a taxi-
dermist to determine the best
mount that will display the
unusual trophy.
Whitetail bucks are very
aggressive toward one another.
Fights are a common occur-
rence, though they rarely last
more than a few seconds.
On rare occasions, bucks get
their antlers intertwined in
such a way that they cannot get
them separated. Danny Haley
said the bucks his sons antlers
were impossible to separate by
hand. What frequently happens
is the force with which bucks
fight causes a tine to flex slight-
ly, locking the antlers when
tension is released.
Unless humans intervene by
cutting antlers to free the deer,
locked antlers invariably spell
death for both bucks. Wildlife
photographer Wyman Meinzer
studied coyotes as a graduate
student and has hunted,
trapped and photographed deer
and coyotes his entire life.
Meinzer said what he sus-
pects in a case like this is that
one deer is killed in the fight,
usually by a broken neck. When
coyotes find the windfall, the
live buck still has some fight in
him. The coyotes concentrate
on eating the dead deer. The
experience of watching coyotes
eat a vanquished foe literally at
the end of its nose must be
traumatic for the live deer.
Whitetail bucks are excep-
tionally strong for their size.
Once the burden is reduced to 20
pounds or so of head and neck, a
healthy buck can handle the load
until the coyotes are hungry
again. Over the last 30 years, Ive
heard of no more than two sit-
uations in Texas like the Haley
bucks.
Nobody knows how many bucks
die locked together but the num-
ber is undoubtedly higher on
ranches where the herd is bal-
anced between bucks and does
and a lot more fights break out.
Many large ranches have locked
antlers that are often found by
cowboys on horseback, deer hun-
ters atop huge trucks that provide
good visibility or quail hunters
walking through cover away from
the road.

For deer that lock horns, what follows is grisly
By RAY SASSER
The Dallas Morning News
two bow hunters have signed up
this year for the city of Oxfords
urban deer hunt program.
The program began last year
after years of complaints about
deer-vehicle collisions and the
animals wrecking gardens and
landscaping.
Jimmy Allgood, Oxford emer-
gency management coordinator
and the citys designated "deer
guy," tells the Northeast Mis-
sissippi Daily Journal that 30
hunter participated last year.
Allgood says 109 deer were
killed inside the city last year.
He says hunters accounted for
only 44 of those. He says most
of the rest died after colliding
with cars.
The four-month bow hunt
runs throughout the 2011-12
deer season.
Maine
AUGUSTA, Maine Maines
deer-hunting season has closed.
The firearms season officially
ended half-an-hour before sunset
on Saturday.
HAGERSTOWN, Md.
Marylands firearm deer season
is opening with state officials on
the watch for chronic wasting
disease.
The two-week season opened
Saturday.
The Department of Natural
Resources says it is operating a
chronic wasting disease surveil-
lance station at the Green Ridge
State Forest headquarters. Hun-
ters who kill deer anywhere in
Allegany County or in Washing-
ton County west of Clear Spring
are encouraged to bring them in
for sampling.
The testing is voluntary and
free, and the hunters can keep
the deer.
Chronic wasting disease is a
neurological ailment fatal to
deer. There is no evidence that
it poses a risk to humans.
A deer killed last year in the
Green Ridge State Forest was
the first in Maryland to test
positive for the disease.
Ohio
MARIETTA, Ohio Hunters
taking part in Ohio deer-gun
season that opens Monday will
no longer have to take their kills
to a check station for a physical
inspection.
Deer hunters will be able to
use a new automated system for
checking game. It was intro-
duced earlier this year by the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources.
Lindsay Rist of the depart-
ments Division of Wildlife says
the new system offers three
options for reporting deer har-
vests. Hunters can report by
phone, through the Internet or
to a traditional licensing agent.
Hunters have a full week to
harvest whitetail deer after the
deer-gun season opens state-
wide Monday. The season also
will include an extra weekend of
gun hunting on December 17-18.
New York
LEICESTER, N.Y. Author-
ities say a 70-year-old man has
died after he fell out of a tree
stand while hunting in western
New York.
State police said Wednesday
that a local medical examiners
office notified troopers Monday
that Robert Miller of Portville
had died.
Miller was injured Saturday
morning when he fell about 15
feet from his stand on a tree in
the Livingston County town of
Leicester, 30 miles south of
Rochester.
Miller suffered broken ribs, a
punctured lung and a cut to his
face.
Troopers say their investiga-
tion found that Miller didnt
secure a safety strap while hunt-
ing, and fell after shooting at a
deer.
Saturday was the first day of
deer season in western New
York for hunters using shotguns
or rifles.
Mississippi
OXFORD, Miss. Thirty-
The Department of Inland

down sharply from last year
when more than 40,000 permit
were issued. Officials cut back

chance to recover following
harsh winters in 2008 and 2009
that thinned the herd.

Jim Pennington of Buckner, Mo., was one of thousands who found

WASHINGTON The Obama ad-
ministration said Wednesday it will not
impose new restrictions on recreational
shooting on public lands, a Thanksgiv-
ing gift for thousands of gun owners and
hunters concerned about a draft plan to
limit target shooting near residential ar-
eas.
The policy, proposed this summer,
could have closed millions of acres of
federal land to gun use, a prospect that
causedalarmamonggunowners, partic-
ularlyintheWest, wheretarget shooting
on public land is a longtime tradition.
Hunting season for deer and other game
begins around Thanksgiving in many
states.
Officials said they were trying to en-
sure public safety in rapidly growing ar-
eas of the West, where some residents
have clashed with gun owners who use
public lands for target practice.
In a memo obtained by The Associat-
ed Press, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar
said his department supports opportu-
nities for hunting, fishing and recre-
ational shooting on federal land.
"By facilitating access, multiple use
and safe activities on public lands, the
Bureau of Land Management helps en-
sure that the vast majority of the 245
millionacres it oversees are openandre-
main open to recreational shooting," he
wrote.
The memo directs BLMDirector Bob
Abbey to "take no further action to de-
velop or implement" the draft policy on
recreational shooting.
Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., who
hadsharplycriticizedthe earlier propos-
al, said Wednesday he was glad the Oba-
ma administration had reversed course.
"But it would be a lot better for every-
one if they stopped doing things to re-
strict gun rights that require them to
back off in the first place," said Rehberg,
a frequent Obama critic who is challeng-
ingincumbent Sen. JonTester, D-Mont.,
next year.
"One thing is sure: You cant blink
withthese guys or theyll slipsomething
through," Rehberg added in an email.
The BLMsaidinannouncingthe draft
policy on recreational shooting that
many areas previously used for target
practice are now too close to houses or
other development. By 2020, such "hot
spots" were projected in all 48 continen-
tal states, the BLM said.
The BLM draft plan would have pro-
vided gun owners with a map of nearby
areas suitable for target practice.
The Wildlife and Hunting Heritage
Conservation Council, an advisory com-
mittee of conservationists and outdoors
groups, expressed concern over the
draft plan. Instead of restricting recre-
ational shooting, the government
should provide improvements for safe
shooting such as berms, benches and
target holders, the group said.
No new federal limits on target shooting
Recreational outings on public lands
will not face new regulations at this
time, says the Obama administration.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Tennessee
wildlife officials had hoped allowing
year-round limitless hunting of wild
hogs would eradicate the aggressive
pigs that can tear up farmland and for-
ests, but they spread even faster and
turned up in counties where they hadnt
been seen before.
So the Tennessee Wildlife Resources
Agency changed tactics and banned
hunting of the wild hogs for the general
public this year. Some wild hog hunting
is still allowed for landowners trying to
get rid of nuisance hogs and deer hun-
ters on most agency wildlife manage-
ment areas on the Cumberland Plateau
and in East Tennessee.
TWRA started allowing year-round
hunting of hogs in1999, but nowthe ani-
mals have been found in isolated pock-
ets in almost 70 counties as of this year.
Hog hunters are pushing back against
the change and say the state is trying to
protect the destructive hogs.
TWRAWildlife and Forestry Division
Chief Daryl Ratajczak told The Tennes-
sean that they promote wild hog elim-
ination but not the sport of wild hog
hunting.
"If people enjoy or like the sport of
wild hog hunting, they will want to con-
tinue to do that and expect there to be
wild hogs to hunt," he said.
Chuck Yoest, TWRAs wild hog coor-
dinator, said trapping of wild hogs in
WilliamsonandRutherfordcounties has
stoppedmuchof the damage inthose ar-
eas. TWRA favors trapping them in a
corral baited with grain or other food.
Those supporting the TWRAs deci-
sion include the Tennessee Association
of Conservation Districts, Tennessee
Pork Producers andthe Tennessee Wild-
life Federation, the states largest hunt-
ing advocacy group.
But a new group formed as a result of
the issue, the Tennessee Hunters Alli-
ance, opposes the states limits on hunt-
ing hogs. Chris Henderson, withthe Tel-
lico Bear and Boar Club, hunts with
dogs and is a supporter of the new
group.
"Theyre actually protecting hogs
from hunters," Henderson said of the
TWRA.
James Fleming, a farmer and out-
doorsman in Maury County, said hes
afraid hogs will change the states wild
game makeup and compete with native
wildlife for acorns and other food.
He backs the newrules and said hunt-
ing wild hogs isnt a viable way to keep
the animals population down.
"If youre going to try and control a
nuisance animal by shooting them one
at a time and theyre breeding 10 at a
time, theyre going to outrun you," he
said.
Wild hog hunters push back on limits in Tenn.
Nuisance animal reproducing in
greater numbers than the efforts
to cull the packs of aggressive pigs.

I
n light of the turmoil rocking fi-
nance and politics here and around
the world, it might seem a chore to
express gratitude this holiday season.
But psychologists advise thats exactly
what we should do, for our own well-
being and as inspiration to share our
relative good fortune with others.
In that spirit, here are some things to
be thankful for, particularly in matters
affecting financial satisfaction and the
health of our society:
Alan Simpson: The curmudgeonly
conservative former senator from
Wyoming is now aiming his famously
sharp tongue not just at Democrats
across the aisle but at former Repub-
lican colleagues who refuse to face the
reality that balancing an out-of-whack
budget requires both higher revenues
and expense cuts. True to his reputa-
tion as a plain-spoken maverick, he also
blasted AARP for its exaggerated ads
warning against cuts in Social Security
benefits.
Small businesses: God bless them,
every one. Well, most of them anyway.
Like the resourceful business owners
mentioned in Matt Hughes article
today, small business people are part of
their communities as well as contrib-
utors to the economy. So Butch Pisano
continues to sell Christmas trees at his
Sunoco station years after he needed
the extra income. Youve got to care
about what youre selling, he said. And
who youre selling to; if only the geni-
uses who came up with financial deriv-
atives shared that sentiment.
Generous donors: Tough times are a
double whammy for charities that
serve the poor, such as the St. Vincent
de Paul Kitchen. As more people look
to them for food and other support,
fewer people and companies are able to
provide donations of cash or food. So
when people such John and Tina
Dowd, owners of Sundance Vacations,
step in with a donation valued at
$50,000, it gets notice. But lets also be
grateful for all the people who give
what they can to help others in need,
whether by opening their checkbooks
or spending time that others would
devote to themselves.
Steady stock markets: Given the
daily gyrations and overheated report-
ing, you might not notice that stock
prices arent far today from their levels
a year ago. Certainly the changes this
year pale in comparison to the melt-
downs of the Great Recession or the
outsized gains of the dot.com-fueled
1990s. That said, we should be thankful
or at least hopeful for
Skeptical investors: Its an exhilarat-
ing ride when stock prices are soaring.
During an earlier bull market I marvel-
ed that nearly every advertising client I
called on could tell me how much
money they made that day as shares
leaped. You need only to look at the
freefall in 2008-2009 to see that things
can go south just as rapidly. While
market mavens rue the fleeing individ-
ual investor, sitting on the sidelines
or at least being much more careful
seems like a smart strategy right now.
The 90 percent with jobs: I know this
is a backhanded compliment to the
economy, but really, if 9 out of 10 of us
have jobs that means most Americans
are both earning a living and experi-
encing the dignity of work. Yes, too
large a share dont make what they
should, either because wages have
stagnated or hours have been cut, but
hopefully well muddle our way out of
this mess and better times will return.
In the meantime, its better to earn
something than wait anxiously for
unemployment benefits to expire.
And lets not forget whats most
important to be grateful for the
family members, friends and neighbors
who make our lives richer and more
fulfilling. Sharing our lives with others
through good times and bad has more
meaning than the size of our bank
accounts.

ers saw the amount of shopping being
done the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Six years later, its going strong and
some deals actually rival those offered
just two days ago.
Check out Shop.org and CyberMon-
day.com for deals or visit individual

youll get $8.99 back in Extra Bucks,
which, like Up Rewards, are printed
on your receipt and can be used for a
future store purchase.
If youre heading to the liquor
store anyway this week, heres a nice
way to get a free four-bottle wine
rack. Go to www.finewineandgood-
spirits.com and have a bottle or-
dered and delivered to your local
wine and spirits shop. If you are one
of the first 450 people to do so Mon-
day, you will also get the free wine
rack. So place those orders at 12:01
a.m.
If youre looking for a cute, unique
gift, visit Rite Aid and get an orna-
ment, mouse pad, magnet or mug
with your photo on them. Buy-one,
get-one free when you use your Well-
ness + Rewards card. And if you buy
$25 worth of those photo gifts, youll
also get a $5 Up Reward.
Also at Rite Aid is a great offer that
combines a sale price, an Up Reward
and a rebate.
Buy the Simply Saline Neti Pot Kit
for $9.99 and youll get a $4 Up Re-
ward, which is a coupon on your re-
ceipt you can use toward your next
store purchase. Then fill out this re-
bate form: www.armandham-
mer.com/PDF/NetiPotKit_RebateIn-
fo.pdf and youll get the $9.99 back.
CVS has Complete multi-purpose
contact lens solution for $8.99 and
Survey, conducted by BIGresearch,
78.4 percent of those companyies
surveyed will have special promotions
on Cyber Monday.
Online retailers often look to useCy-
berMonday.com and starting tonight
at midnight more than 800 companies
have banded together to promote
specials on the site, including some
that are offering Deals of the Hour.
So if you didnt get to wait in long
lines at brick and mortar stores on
Thursday or Friday (or Saturday or
Sunday for that matter), log on to
your favorite retailers website Mon-
day to try to grab a great deal.

LOS ANGELES Steve
Jobs widow may never find a
better moment to sell her late
husbands $6.78 billion of Apple
and Walt Disney stock.
Under U.S. law, Jobs heirs
may sell Apple and Disney
shares and avoid $867 million
in capital gains taxes. If Apples
late co-founder left his estate to
his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs,
the family wont be liable for
the 35 percent estate tax until
she dies or gives money to oth-
ers, according to estate plan-
ners.
I cant see any reason not to
sell all of it, said Kacy Gott,
chief planning officer at the
wealth-management firm As-
piriant. They should have
been looking to diversify years
ago.
Jobs heirs should sell some
stock to reduce the estates
risks, said Joyce Franklin, a San
Francisco financial planner
who works with high-tech exec-
utives. Making sales more at-
tractive: the capital gains tax is
set to rise to 20 percent in 2013
from 15 percent now, and high-
income Americans will also be
subject to a 3.8 percent levy on
unearned gains.
Jobs owned 138 million Dis-
ney shares, valued last week at
$4.74 billion, and 5.55 million
Apple shares worth $2.05 bil-
lion, according to filings. Proxy
statements show Jobs moved
his holdings into trusts as his
health worsened. Trusts let
people distribute wealth over
time and avoid probate fees.
If Jobs had sold all of his Dis-
ney and Apple on Oct. 4, the
day before he died, he would
have registered a gain of about
$5.78 billion and a tax bill of
$867 million. Thats based on
his investment of $55 million in
Pixar Studios, now part of Dis-
ney, and Apple shares granted
in March 2003. They vested
three years later at $64.66 each,
filings show.
Candace Pugatch, a spokes-
woman for Laurene Powell
Jobs, declined to comment on
her tax situation or whether
she plans to buy or sell any Ap-
ple or Disney shares.
Of the two holdings, Disney
would be more complicated to
sell. The stock represents al-
most 12 times the average num-
ber of Disney shares traded
each day over the past year, ac-
cording to data compiled by
Bloomberg.
The Apple holdings repre-
sent less than a third of the 17.6
million shares traded on a daily
basis, making an open market
sale much simpler.
Jobs died on Oct. 5 at age 56
fromcomplications of pancreat-
ic cancer. His will hasnt been
made public. Jobs is survived
by his wife and four children,
Lisa, Eve, Erin and Reed.
Under U.S. law, the trust can
sell the shares and incur taxes

Policymakers tend to like hard
numbers and definitive forecasts.
Well get X amount of growth next
year. This budget will produce Y
amount of revenue. Its a nice, neat
way of dealing with the world. And
yet, so often, the official predictions
turn out to be wildly wrong.
The untold story of this reces-
sion, writes Justin Wolfers, was the
many false signals given by U.S.
GDP data which have given false
hope, leading [to] policy mistakes.
Overly rosy gross domestic prod-
uct numbers back in early 2009 led
the White House to misjudge the se-
verity of the downturn, failing to
plan for worst-case scenarios. Last
months encouraging growth figures
seemed to ease policymakers out of
crisis mode, even though everyone
knows that these numbers go
through several revisions. It
shouldnt have been a surprise when
we learned Tuesday that GDP
growth turned out to be less robust
than thought - revised down to 2 per-
cent from 2.5 percent. Yet often it is
a shock.
Thats why some experts think we
need a different approach. Charles

Any big box store can sell you a plastic light-up San-
ta, just like the one on your neighbors lawn; Larry Sti-
rewalt can sell you one like youve never seen before.
Since the 1970s, at holiday time Stirewalt and his in-
laws before him have opened Christmasland, a 12-room
emporium of light-up joy above Main Hardware in
Wilkes-Barre. He is one of a number of local business
owners who carve out their niche each Christmas by of-
fering unique items shoppers are unlikely to find in a
chain store.
Our whole idea is to have a big selection, Stirewalt
said. So the chain stores and the big boxes will have
one of those plastic Santas or a snowman, and theyll
have like 10,000 of them. We have lots of different
kinds and five or six of each kind.
Many of the items Stirewalt carries, like tinsel trees
Carol and Joe Hayer of Shavertown leave Main Hardware in Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday with their purchases.

only on the appreciation since
Jobs death a gain of about
$338 million. If Jobs had died
in 2010, when there was no es-
tate tax, his heirs would have
faced the capital gains tax on
his entire investment profit if
they had sold. That provision
lapsed in 2011 when the estate
tax was reinstated.
The largest holding is Jobs
7.4 percent Disney stake,
shares received in 2006 when
the media and theme-park
company acquired Pixar for
$7.01 billion in stock.
Jobs bought Pixar from Star
Wars producer George Lucas
for $5 million in 1986 and in-
vested $50 million more in the
computer animation company
over a decade, according to a
person with knowledge of the
situation who wouldnt speak
publicly. When Jobs died, the
Disney stake was worth $4.35
billion.
Excluding dividends, that
marks an 18.5 percent annual
return through Oct. 5, based
on $55 million invested at the
end of 1986.
Three people who know Po-
well Jobs, who has a masters
degree in business administra-
tion from Stanford, dont think
she is interested in taking her
husbands seats on the Apple or
Disney boards. Disney CEO
Robert Iger joined Apples
board this month.
Powell Jobs intentions may
not matter if a bank is manag-
ing the investments, said John
Barcal, an estate lawyer and as-
sociate professor at USCs Lev-
enthal School of Accounting
who has worked with a trust
that exceeds Jobs public hold-
ings.
I dont know if his wife is a
co-trustee or if its a bank, but a
bank would be duty-bound to
diversify the holdings, Barcal
said.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduces the Apple Nano in San Francis-
co. Some advisors say Jobs heirs should sell some stock to re-
duce the estates risks.
Under U.S. law, the trust can sell the shares and incur taxes only
on the appreciation since Jobs death a gain of about $338
million. If Jobs had died in 2010, when there was no estate tax,
his heirs would have faced the capital gains tax on his entire
investment profit if they had sold.

ern University, for one, ar-
gues that forecasters and da-
ta agencies need to be much
more honest about the un-
certainty inherent in their
projections.
Take the Congressional
Budget Office. Whenever the
CBO scores a policy, it pro-
vides a single and definitive-
sounding estimate of the
policys effects. Last year,
CBO Director Douglas El-
mendorf told Congress that
the health-care law would re-
duce deficits $138 billion be-
tween 2010 and 2019. There
was no range of estimates.
No margin of error.
And yet, as economist
Alan Auerbach has argued
about the difficulties in scor-
ing the effects of tax chang-
es on revenue, in many in-
stances, the uncertainty is
so great that one honestly
could report a number either
twice or half the size of the
estimate actually reported.
Last December, Manski
visited the CBO to argue
that the agency should be
more open about its fore-
casts. Perhaps it should in-
clude a range of possible
outcomes. Or provide prob-
abilistic forecasts. Or offer a
low score and a high
score of a bill. But Manskis
ideas were met with skepti-
cism. As he told me in a
phone interview, CBO offi-
cials said that expressing un-
certainty would only dis-
gruntle Congress. Lawmak-
ers want answers, not ques-
tions.
Manski recounts an old
story about Lyndon B. John-
son lecturing an economist.
Ranges are for cattle,
Johnson said. Give me a
number.
Whats interesting, Manski
notes, is that this doesnt
seem to be some irrevocable
feature of human psycholo-
gy. In a 2004 paper for Econ-
ometrica, Manski found that
most people were perfectly
comfortable making probabi-
listic forecasts about their
own lives what sorts of
income they could expect,
what sorts of Social Security
benefits they plan to receive.
Ordinary people can handle
uncertainty, he says.
As it happens, not every
country tends to be so de-
finitive in its statements.
Manski notes that the Bank
of England publishes its in-
flation forecasts as a fan
chart, including a range of
outcomes. Whats more,
British government agen-
cies have to issue upper
and lower bounds for the
costs of their various pro-
posals. Of course, even if
U.S. agencies did do this
sort of work, would the
news media even notice?
After all, the Federal Re-
serves survey of profes-
sional forecasters issues
probabilistic predictions
every quarter, but they
rarely make it into news
stories.
Here in the U.S., we just
seem to want one hard
number, Manski sighs.
Maybe its because we just
[want] to figure out who
the winners and losers are
with every policy. But a lot
of times you cant figure
these things out and people
dont want to face up to
that fact.
FORECAST
LONDON Industry analysts and anxious
travelers expressed fears last week for the sur-
vival of Britains venerable tour operator Tho-
mas Cook, after thecompany, whichtookmore
than 22 million people on holidays in the latest
year, revealed its financial problems had wors-
ened.
Shares in Europes second-largest tour oper-
ator lost three-fourths of their already de-
pressed value after the company said it was
seeking new agreements with its main cred-
itors, barelyamonthafterannouncingit hadne-
gotiated new funding arrangements to carry it
through the slowwinter months.
The company insisted flights would leave as
usual and that it was taking newbookings, but
Britons who have bought holidays through the
firmwere anxious.
JamilaJuma-Ware, 27, whohasbookedaholi-
day in Tenerife in the next three weeks for her-
self and her mother, said she was praying its
going to be all right ... but Imnot confident.
Several small British travel firms have gone
under since the global economic crisis hit in
2008, but Thomas Cook is an industry giant,
and a fixture of Britains main streets.
There are a lot of small independent travel
agents around here, but I said Id rather just
bookit throughsomeonelikeThomasCookbe-
cause theyre big and theres more of a guaran-
tee they wont go bust, Juma-Ware said. And
then this week this happens.
Thomas Cook is, like many airlines and tour
operators, suffering from weak consumer de-
mand as Europes financial crisis has people
worried about their jobs.
Unrest inTunisia normally the topwinter
destination for French travelers and Egypt,
flooding inBangkok anddisappointing sales in
Russia all have added to the pressure on the
company.
Analysts said the financial troubles could
scareawaycustomers, darkeningthefirms pro-
spects.
Legitimate questions will be asked as to
whether Thomas Cookcansurvivelong-term,
saidJames Hollins, analyst at EvolutionSecuri-
ties. He added that he believed the company
could pull through on the strength of business-
es outsideBritain, but amoreflexiblefinancial
structure and massive turnaround are re-
quired.
ThomasCookwasduetoreport annual earn-
ings for 2010-11onThursday, but it has put that
off indefinitely as a result of deterioration of
trading insome areas of the business, andof its
cash and liquidity position since its year end.
SamWeihagen, ThomasCooksinterimchief
executive, insisted it was business as usual:
Flightsareleavingonschedule, shopsareopen
and were taking bookings.
Weihagensaidpeople whobookpackage ho-
lidays would be protected by the Air Travel Or-
ganizers Licensinginsuranceprogramwhichis

However, those who book only flights are ad-
vised to buy their own travel insurance.

gic flair, but Stirewalt insists hes
not simply dusting off the same
old stock each Christmas. Rath-
er, he has connections to the few
manufacturers that still make
those products and customers
still buy them, he said, if only as a
novelty.
We come here every year,
said Jay Sweetra, of Hanover
Township, as he browsed the ais-
les at Christmasland last week.
They have old stuff; they have
new stuff. It gets you in the spir-
it.
Dan Tratensek, spokesman for
the North American Retail Hard-
ware Association, said Stirewalt
is not unique; many hardware
stores turntoChristmas goods to
supplement sales as exterior
home-improvement work slows
in winter.
The Christmas selling season
has certainly taken on a greater
importance, and its almost a re-
turn to form really, Tratensek
said. At the beginning of the
20th century hardware stores
were more general stores; they
sold toys and BB guns and bicy-
cles. All those lights, decora-
tions, storage totes, things to
keep all that stuff in when youre
done; all that stuff drives busi-
ness.
Some community pharmacies
also do brisk business in selling
specialty gifts and decorations.
Frank Lombardo, owner of
Cooks Pharmacy in Shavertown,
said his store sells a wide variety
of locally-made and hard-to-find
gifts, including Michael Mootz
and Jon L. Stopay chocolates,
paintedglasswarebyBackMoun-
tain artist Rita Busch and the full
line of Burts Bees skin care prod-
ucts.
Lombardo said selling gifts
and decorations gives his busi-
ness a boost around the holidays,

Q: As a supervisor, I have al-
ways had a friendly, nonconfron-
tational leadership style. I have a
dry sense of humor andenjoy jok-
ing around with my staff. Recent-
ly, one of my employees told me
that she feels the others are very
disrespectful towards me. I was
surprised, because I never
viewed their bantering as disre-
spect.
In the past, my manager has al-
sosuggestedthat employees may
not respect me because I am too
nice andfriendly withthem. I dis-
agreed at the time, but now I
thinkshe may be right. HowcanI
overcome my history and get
more respect?
A: Before undertakinga leader-
ship style makeover, you must
correctly identify the change you
need to make. The problem here
is not that youare a nice, friendly,
jovial person. After all, no one
wants to work for a supervisor
who is humorless and mean-spir-
ited.
The more likely difficulty is
that you lack management pres-
ence that is, the ability to
comfortablyrelatetopeoplefrom
a position of authority. Managers
who feel uneasy about having
power often try to minimize the
distance between themselves
and employees by acting like one
of the gang. As a result, they
seem more like a peer than a
boss.
Your nonconfrontational ap-
proach may come across as a re-
luctance to deal with difficult is-
sues, especially if you fail to ad-
dress performance problems or
allow yourself to be intimidated
by strong-willed people. Employ-
ees will never respect you as a
manager unless you act like one.
For you, therefore, the recipe
for success is to increase your su-
pervisory self-confidence while
retaining the amiable, fun-loving
aspects of your personality. You
dont have to become aloof and
boring in order to be respected.
Q: You have previously said
that cubicle conversations can-
not be considered private be-
cause they take place in an open
area. But my situation is slightly
different.
Whenever someone comes to
mewithaquestion, thewomanin
the next cubicle yells out the an-
swer before I have a chance to
speak. I thinkit is veryrudeof her
to butt in when someone has spe-
cifically asked for my opinion.
How should I handle this?
A: By trying to beat you to the
answer, your know-it-all col-
league is definitely overstepping
her bounds. But since youre not
her boss, you appear to have only
two choices. The first is to polite-
ly request an end to the interrup-
tions.
For example: Mary, I know
youre just tryingtohelp, but it re-
ally bothers me whenyouyell out
ananswer tosomeone whois ask-
ing me a question. I would appre-
ciate your giving me time to re-
spond. If I dont have the informa-
tion, I will gladly refer the person
to you.
Should you prefer not to have
that conversation, your second
option is to simply ignore her un-
solicited input and continue with
your own answer.

CHICAGOIf you plan to use
thelastofyour2011sickdaysbefore
theendof theyear evenif youre
notreallyundertheweatheryou
might not bealone.
Companies that track employee
time off and other worker issues
say sick-day use among those who
arent sickis ontherise.
From 2006 to 2010, the Work-
force Institute at Kronos, a human
resourcespolicygroup, foundan18
percent increase among workers
who admitted to taking a sick day
when they werent really sick. And
a 2007 survey by human resources
consultant CCH found that two-
thirdsofU.S. employeeswhocalled
in sick at the last minute actually
werent.
Thats fake sicktime, director
JoyceMaroneysaid.
Fake sicktime is somethingthat
manycompaniescant afford, espe-
cially in a struggling economy, but
thereasonsemployeeshaveforfak-
ing it often go beyond just playing
hooky.
Using sick days to tend to the
needs of children and older rela-
tives is increasing among workers
whoseemployers donot allowsick
leave for family care, staffing pro-
fessionals say.
Its not always an illegitimate
reason, said Julie Tappero, presi-
dent of West Sound Workforce, a
West Coast staffingservice. There
are plenty of legitimate reasons
whyemployees takesickdays.
Increased concern about financ-
esandjobsecuritymaymakesome
employeeshesitantaboutcallingin
sick, but certain absences of a per-
sonal nature like emergency
carecant always beplanned.
DavidOssip, president andCEO
of workforcemanagement consult-
ant Dayforce, said increased sick-
time use is the result of economic
strain on the family. Where there
may have been a stay-at-home par-
ent before, now both parents are
working.
Peopleneedasenseof work-life
balance, he said. And this is an
outcomeof that.
CCH found in its 2007 survey
that periods of calling in sick are
greatest on Monday and Friday,
aroundholidays suchas Christmas
andtheFourthof July, andalsodur-
ingfluandhayfever seasons.
To offset the pattern, both Ossip
and Tappero suggested that compa-
niesbemorereceptivebyincreasing
flextimeandintroducingoptionsfor
telecommutingor shift-trading.
More employees faking
illness to use up sick days

but added that December, at the
start of flu season, already is a
busy month for the pharmacy.
For him, holiday items are just as
much a customer service as a
way to make money.
We offer free gift wrapping
andother things that set us apart
so that people dont have to go to
the mall; dont have to go to the
large chainstores, andits caught
on, Lombardo said. People are
interested in doing their shop-
ping right here in the Back
Mountain.
Servingloyal customers is also
the reason Butch Pisano trucks
hundreds of Christmas trees
fromhis home in Sweet Valley to
his gas station in Wilkes-Barre
each year.
Pisano, owner of Phils Sunoco
on South Main Street, each year
sells a few hundred trees, hand-
made wreaths and boughs of ev-
ergreen outside the gas station.
All are grown by Pisano on his
own land a former Christmas
tree farm or by his farmer
neighbor.
He began selling trees two
decades ago, when he was 20, as
a way to make extra money. His
business is now successful
enough that he doesnt really
need the extra money, Pisano
said, but he still sells trees be-
cause he enjoys it andbecause he
has built a customer base that
comes back year-after-year.
I just enjoy it; I really do, Pi-
sano said. After about three
weeks Im getting ready to pack
it in I just get tired but I en-
joy it. Believe me theres not a lot
of money in it.
Pisano said his regular cus-
tomers include area churches,
entertainment venues and flo-
rists, who buy tree clippings for
use in wreathes and arrange-
ments.
Like the other business own-
ers, Pisano said its the extra at-
tention he gives that sets him
apart from his larger competi-
tors. That includes knowing
when to cut each variety of tree
so that it still has needles at
Christmas, and caring for his
crop during the other 11 months
of the year.
Youve got to cut the grass.
They get all kinds of diseases.
Youve got to trim them, fertil-
ize them; its like having kids,
he said. If they come from me
or the other guy that I deal
with, we care about them.
Youve got to care about what
youre selling.

4Q MAGIC
Stocks have plunged in Novem-
ber. But for the quarter, the market
looks good. The Dow is up 3.2
percent since the start of October.
Theres some history that sug-
gests the quarter could end on an
up note. Most years, fourth-quar-
ter gains are magical, according
to the Stock Traders Almanac. A
strong fourth quarter has been
one of the markets most consis-
tent trends. The Almanac attri-
butes that in part to the good
cheer that leads up to the winter
holidays. It also has to do with
professional money managers,
who make changes to their portfo-
lios to get the best possible year-
end return.
AVIRTUAL SPREE
Analysts have started to pay nearly
as much attention to Cyber Mon-
day the boom in online sales that
occurs the Monday after Thanksgiv-
ing than the traditionally frenzied
Black Friday. This year, 39 percent
of consumers plan to shop on that
day compared to 37 percent last
year, says research company
PriceGrabber. Thats nearly as
many as the 40 percent of consum-
ers who plan to shop on Black Fri-
day. Most of those shoppers will
cash in on online deals, discounts
and free shipping offers available
that day. Most of the online shop-
pers will do so from the comfort of
their homes, but four percent will
shop from their smartphone.
STRESSFUL HOLIDAYS
The Federal Reserve said
last week that big banks
would have to undergo a
new set of stress tests.
The tests are meant to
put banks through hypo-
thetical worst-case sce-
narios and make sure
they have the capital
theyd need to withstand
them. The tests are ex-
pected to be more com-
prehensive than the
round most banks under-
went in 2009. But Bar-
clays Capital says banks
have much more capital
and much less risk than
they did then.
TomAtteberrys FPA New Income
fund (FPNIX) can boast an unusual
honor: it hasnt posted a loss since
1984. Its the only U.S. mutual fund
with that record. He says its be-
cause his fund has a disciplined,
defensive approach. The fund has
the freedom to invest wherever it
wants. That
means Atte-
berry can
avoid risk
when he
sees it.
How have
you man-
aged not to
have a
down year
since 1984?
We take a
very strict
discipline for every security that we
own. So we look to say, if an ad-
verse event were to happen say
interest rates were to rise 100 basis
points in a 12-month period will
this security still produce a positive
total return for us? Its a way for us
to say, Am I paid for the risk Im
taking? whether its interest rate
risk or whether its credit risk.
Some other fund managers
might say they do something
similar, but youve succeeded, so
whats different about your fund?
When we start with the premise of,
O.K., I want to have a 12-month
period of absolute positive return, if
thats the objective weve set for
ourselves, then it becomes what
can I own in the fixed-income mar-
kets that will help me accomplish
that? So ... if we cant find anything
thats attractive in, say, investment-
grade corporate bonds, then we
dont own any. If we find a multitude
of attractive bonds to own in the sin-
gle-family mortgage space, then we
have a big allocation there. So we
find ourselves free to go where we
can find the bonds that will satisfy
our objective. And most managers
dont have that degree of freedom.
What areas are you staying away
from?
Weve been reducing our allocation
this year and anything we had in
the credit space we owned that
were triple-B rated or less. We had
been as high as 10 percent, and
were down now to about 3 percent
in that high-yield credit space. The
reason for that is we see a tremen-
dous amount of uncertainty... that
amount of uncertainty we think re-
sults in very anemic growth for the
U.S., from a GDP standpoint, so
you say, O.K., why do I want to
take on credit risk given a very slow
growth economy?
What role does this fund play in
a typical clients portfolio?
People have hired us as a part of
their fixed-income allocation. Theyll
have some other firm theyve hired
and I think they really have hired us
as, O.K. youre an anchor to that
volatility the marketplace may have.
If Ive experienced volatility in equi-
ties or Ive experienced volatility in
other fixed-income managers, you
guys are an anchor. Youre going to
produce a positive return and
youre going to have lower volatili-
ty. And that mix is helpful.
So what have you been hearing
lately from your clients? Inves-
tors probably value reduced vol-
atility right now.
Yes. We saw money flow in more
earnestly starting in the summer as
the uncertainty started to grow. So
thats a way of indicating to us our
clientele is getting more nervous.
And in talking with our clients weve
found that theyve owned a lot of
credit, or a manager whos had a lot
of corporate credit. And they were
getting concerned with the fact that
their corporate credit portfolio was
starting to act just like their domes-
tic equities portfolio... So weve
seen some of them reduce their
corporate bond exposure because
they see theyre just replicating their
equity exposure.

InsiderQ&A
Atteberry
The president of Expedia Worldwide imagines a day when
the online travel company will make getting stuck at the
airport less of a hassle. Scott Durchslag, the former chief
operating officer of Skype, brings an eye for new technology
to Expedia. Hes trying to reignite customers passion for
travel despite tighter airport security and rising fees.
Durchslag met with The Associated Press
and discussed everything from the economy
to his favorite travel destinations.
Whats the next big thing in
travel technology?
What matters is what you can
do with that smartphone in your
hand. What you can do is carry
an active itinerary with you that
you can interact with us on. Say
you were rushing out to JFK
today to catch a flight. Expedia
can send you a message that
says, Hey, we know youre
running late to the airport,
because we can see where you
are by the GPS in your phone.
Dont worry. Your flight was
delayed. And we can tell you
your best two rebooking options.
We know your profile; we know
you like to fly on American. We
know that you tend to fly an aisle
seat in economy. Well check that
and say, Here are your two best
options. Just click accept.
Whats your outlook for travel
demand?
We are seeing a real flight to
value and much greater sophisti-
cation on the part of the
consumer about what theyre
looking for. We see people are
tending to stay a little bit closer to
home. But the bottom line is
people are still traveling. Theyre
just being savvier about where
they go and what value they seek.
Theres a big market for sponta-
neous travel.
What are the opportunities to
grow in the airfare booking
business?
Its starting to be comple-
mented with more of a view
toward destinations and experi-
ences. So it isnt just about
checking Munich off of your I
want to see this list. Its, I want
to experience Oktoberfest. There
are opportunities in the marketing
of package experiences. Part of
what triggers people to travel,
especially during these types of
times, is that sense of escape.
Well be doing more to make that
possible.

The quarters winners
Stock
Screener
The fourth quarter is more than halfway over, and it has been
rocky so far. The S&P 500 rose 14 percent in October before hitting
its peak on Oct. 28. Investors were becoming more confident that
European leaders would find a way to keep that regions debt crisis
from spilling over into the global economy and that the U.S. could
avoid a second recession. But the index then sank 9.4 percent,
when the possibility of a solution to the European
crisis faltered and U.S. growth proved slower than
expected.
So who has come out on top so far this quarter? Energy
companies. Oil prices have fluctuated as investors swing between
confidence and concern about global growth, which is directly tied
to demand for crude. Oil topped $100 per barrel in early November
for the first time since July, before pulling back. That surge gave
energy companies a lift. Of the ten industry sectors in the S&P 500, energy
companies have done best this quarter, rising 7.6 percent since the beginning
of October. This screen shows the S&P 500 companies with the biggest price
increases. El Paso Corp. tops the list because in early October, rival Kinder
Morgan said it would buy the company, creating the countrys largest natural
gas pipeline operator.

DOOMED TO fail, a
committee of the super
dysfunctional Congress
of the United States,
charged with formulating
a plan to reduce the
federal budget deficit by
$1.2 trillion over 10 years,
publicly called it quits late Monday after-
noon.
Created by the Budget Control Act, hasti-
ly adopted in August to increase the nation-
al debt ceiling and avert a global economic
calamity, the Joint Committee on Deficit
Reduction was a ruse providing temporary
cover for a Congress that sadly no longer
works.
Reducing the deficit by $1.2 trillion
through budget cuts alone would require
crippling blows to national defense, educa-
tion, Medicare and perhaps Social Security.
After all, that is where the money is.
Knowledgeable economists agree that
increased taxes on the wealthiest 1 percent
of Americans, to pre-Bush No. 43 levels, is
an essential and reasonable component of
any serious deficit-reduction plan. Members
of Congress surely understand it. The presi-
dent advocates it. So why are we in this fix?
The 12-member super committee made
up of three Republicans and three Demo-
crats from both the House and Senate be-
came immediately suspect when the GOP
appointed six right-wing members.
Congressmen Jeb Hensarling of Texas,
David Camp of Michigan and Fred Upton,
longtime protg of David Stockman, for-
mer Director of the Office of Management
and Budget under President Reagan, were
sure bets to oppose any compromise. They
were joined by Republican senators Jon Kyl
of Arizona, Rob Portman of Ohio and Pat
Toomey of Pennsylvania. No profiles in
courage there.
All six previously had signed a pledge to
the far-right activist Grover Norquist, oppos-
ing any increase, in any tax, of any kind, for
any reason, no matter how insignificant the
levy or vital the national purpose.
What has happened to the Republican
Party?
Last Sunday, 60 Minutes produced a
revealing segment titled, The Pledge:
Grover Norquists hold on the GOP. It was
an in-depth look at the divided and dys-
functional Congress. View it at
www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/
main3415.shtml.
Divided government occurs when one
party controls the presidency while the
other presides over the Senate and /or the
House of Representatives. We have had a
divided national government during 30 of
the last 44 years. It often produced signif-
icant results for the benefit of the entire
country through mutual cooperation and
compromise.
Not anymore.
The declaration that gave birth to this
nation and the Constitution that established
its enduring system of governance were
constructed on the principle of compromise,
clearly anticipating and encouraging its
continuous use. Our Constitution does not
contemplate half the legislative branch
refusing to compromise and willing to push
the nation and the world to the brink of
economic catastrophe.
Last Sunday, David Frum, Republican
speech writer for President George W. Bush
and the aide who inserted the phrase axis
of evil into the 2002 State of the Union
address, wrote a compelling piece for New
York Magazine. It is required reading for
every Republican, indeed every American.
In it he states, The conservative shift to
ever more extreme, ever more fantasy-based
ideology has ominous real-world conse-
quences for American society.
See it at http://nymag.com/news/poli-
tics/conservatives-david-frum-2011-11/
index4.html.
A committee failed. Super voters must
not. As another election rapidly approaches
our divided government has become dan-
gerously dysfunctional. And, at least in the
short term, it must cease to be divided.
Voters must consider the serious constitu-
tional crises this Congress has created.
They need to study a myriad of pressing
issues facing their country and their chil-
dren. They must decide. Only voters can
end divided government. When they do
It will become all one thing or all the
other. Abraham Lincoln

sins year of political turmoil andrecall
like to say that this is what democracy
looks like.
In the Capitol rotunda one day last
week, Chris Reeder stamped out a beat with his san-
daled feet and led a rousing cho-
rus of Roll Out the Recall,
while joyful demonstrators
danced polka turns under the
majestic dome.
In his office a fewdozen steps
away, the object of this daily
sing-alongtrainedhis intense fo-
cus on his agenda to curb union
power and lure job-creating
businesses. Peoplewant leader-
ship, said Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker, a steadfast and polariz-
ing Republican who is only in
his11thmonthinoffice andwho
expects to face a recall election
next year.
What democracy looks like
here is not always pretty. It is

videdandcharacterizedbyunendingcampaigns. Ina
statewherelaws fromtheprogressiveeraof the1920s

with, thenational battleover limitinggovernment vs.

litical siege.
On Nov. 15, Walker foes marched to the Govern-
ment Accountability Boardto file papers to recall the
governor. The day has come, the time is now, said
Democrat Kathleen Falk, a former county executive
who may run against Walker if the recall succeeds.
Thefilingstarts theclockona60-dayperiodinwhich
recall organizers must gather 540,208 signatures
from eligible Wisconsin voters.
The night before, Walker foes counted down the
hours at midnight mad-
ness events at unionhalls
and recall offices. They
dispatched post-midnight
petition-gatherers in paja-
mas and held drive-
through signings for Wis-
consin drivers heading
home from work or from
the deer stand. In the first
48 hours recall officials
said they collected 50,000
signatures.
Julie Wells, 52, a grand-
mother from nearby Fort
Atkinson who works as a
non-union employee in an
aluminum can plant, was
selected to file the papers.
She saw the possibility of
defeat in stark terms.

WASHINGTON The stories are
horrific: a Fort Myers, Fla., policeman
gunned down in 2008 by a Cuban con-
vict freed fromU.S. detention because
he couldnt be deported. A New York
City woman attacked and eviscerated
last year by a Chinese immigrant crim-
inal also free because he couldnt be
sent back to his homeland.
Rep. Sandy Adams, R-Fla., has
seized on those stories as evidence of
what she calls a deadly loophole in
U.S. immigration policy: a decade-old
U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says
the U.S. cannot indefinitely detain im-
migrant criminals whose home coun-
tries refuse to take them back.
We have American citizens being
harmed, said Adams, a House fresh-
man who has made the issue a front-
burner concern, usingit togrill Home-
land Security Secretary Janet Napol-
itano and as fodder for a stinging
newspaper essay.
At the end of the day, criminal im-
migrants are going back into the com-
munity, and they are going back to
commit really heinous crimes, she
said.
But officials with Immigration and
Customs Enforcement while ac-
knowledging the murders say the
problem represents a fraction of the
cases they handle annually.
The people Adams is talking about
mostly criminals released from im-
migration detention centers after
serving jail or prison time for their
crimes totaled a bit fewer than
13,000 during the past three years.
By comparison, the U.S. in 2010 de-
ported nearly 400,000 immigrants,
about half of themconvictedcriminals
a rate that ICE called a one-year re-
cord.
These releases are a very small
part of what we do, said a senior ICE
official not authorized to speak on the
record.
According to ICE, about 4,000
fewer than a third of those released
in the past three years were Cubans,
whose government refuses to take
them back.
Others are fromnations suchas Chi-
na and India that require time-con-
suming investigations before accept-
ing deportees. Once released, all are
monitored by either parole-like visits
or more-sophisticated tracking such
as GPS devices as the U.S. tries to de-
port them.
Though ICEdoesnt keep crime sta-
tistics, it has tracked at least two mur-
ders since 2008 the ones Adams
cites and says that anyone convict-
ed of a crime goes back to jail.
One of the solutions Adams sup-
ports an allowance for indefinite
detentionof immigrant criminals who
cant be deported has drawn the ire
of human rights groups.
Were a nationof laws, andour laws
dont condone indefinite detention
unless there is exceptional circum-
stances. That is what a free society
does, said Susana Barciela, policy di-
rector of the Miami-based advocacy
group Americans for Immigrant Jus-
tice.
Adams rejects that view: Holding
immigrants indefinitely, she has said,
was not a concernof mine. Her moti-
vation, she said, is preventing further
violence by released immigrant crimi-
nals.
Adams has also pressed the Obama
administration to reduce the number

Editorial
If you talk to people about what
is most frustrating about air
travel, what comes out is the loss
of control. Weve been pushing to
give people control again.
David Cush
The CEO of California-based airline Virgin America, which offers flights
between major U.S. cities, believes flying doesnt have to be painful.
Each plane is equipped with TVs for every passenger, colorful mood
lighting and Wi-Fi. Instead of flight attendants dictating meal times,
passengers buy food when they want it by pressing a few buttons on
their TV.
IS BANNING a few students
from wearing U.S. flag T-
shirts really the best way to
maintain order in a public
school?
Really?
Thats what officials at
Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif.,
insist they were doing last year on Cinco de
Mayo. And now a federal judge has conclud-
ed they were not outside First Amendment
bounds.
But surely that ruling wont stand.
Three families sued the Morgan Hill dis-
trict, south of San Jose, after five students
were told to turn their flag shirts inside out
or go home when they wore them during the
schools observance of Cinco de Mayo, a
Mexican holiday increasingly marked in the
United States as a celebration of Mexican-
American heritage and culture.
School officials said they were worried
about the flag-wearing students safety be-
cause the previous year groups of Hispanic
and Anglo students had yelled obscenities
and threats at each other.
The court record shows that one of the
shirts had America written in cursive
across a replica of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, for goodness sake.
Now, the Declaration did, at one point in
U.S. history, amount to fighting words in a
figurative sense. But telling a kid he cant
wear those words proudly in a public school
seems to be a mindless distortion of govern-
ment authority that stands the First Amend-
ment on its head.
Nevertheless, U.S. District Judge James
Ware in San Francisco dismissed the suit
against the Morgan Hill district on Nov. 8. He
said the principal and assistant principal
reasonably forecast that the shirts could
cause a substantial disruption with school
activities and thus they acted within the
limits set by the Supreme Courts 1969 ruling
in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Com-
munity School District.
Tinker said students dont shed their free-
speech rights at the schoolhouse gate, but
the court also allowed authorities to restrict
those rights in the interest of maintaining
order in the classroom.
But letting a school official ban display of
the United States national symbol on the
spur of the moment because hes worried
about what might happen? That just seems
to go beyond reasonable protection of stu-
dent safety, especially when theres no evi-
dence that the students were deliberately
standing in anyones face instigating violence.
Contrast Wares ruling with one by U.S.
District Judge Laurie Smith Camp in Omaha,
Neb., on the same day.
In that case, a mother and her three chil-
dren sued the Millard school district over
suspensions received for wearing T-shirts
honoring a friend who was gunned down,
allegedly by a street gang member. The stu-
dents wore the shirts, which said Julius,
RIP, for several days at two different schools
before officials banned them. The student
who designed the shirts said he was selling
them to help raise money for his dead
friends family; school officials said they
could convey a gang message and provoke
retaliation.
Camp ruled the suit could go to trial be-
cause officials hadnt shown evidence that
would justify a well-founded expectation of
disruption.
Public school administrators need some
leeway to exercise good judgment under
often-trying circumstances.
But heres the inescapable irony the Mor-
gan Hill case creates: Under Supreme Court
precedent, an Occupy protester could burn a
U.S. flag on the sidewalk as a political state-
ment without getting punished. But in one
corner of California, a high schooler can be
sent home for wearing a U.S. flag T-shirt on
campus if the principals worried it could
start a fight.
Can somebody please alert the Colbert
comedy team?
School ban on T-shirts bearing flags seems extreme

L I N D A P . C A M P B E L L
THE REDCOATS are com-
ing! The Redcoats are com-
ing!
Remember what your
elementary school teacher
taught you about the War of
Independence? The British
wore scarlet coats, which made them easy
marks and symbolized institutional pompos-
ity, adherence to status over efficiency and an
out-of-touch empire bent on doing things the
old way. The rebellious American colonists,
on the other hand, wore whatever; they were
nimble, unencumbered by institutional bag-
gage and not too proud to employ guerrilla
tactics.
Those lessons are as much about ideolog-
ical indoctrination as they are about history.
The secrets to Americas success, they tell us,
are rebellion and innovation, the enemies of
status and tradition.
The problem today, however, is that were
the imperial power wearing the red coats.
And we are so concerned about losing our
global dominance that weve lost sight of the
maverick qualities that made us pre-eminent
in the first place.
Reflecting a widespread fear of internal
decay and external competition, survey after
survey shows that Americans think the coun-
try has seen its best days. Last month, a poll
commissioned by the Hill newspaper found
more than two-thirds (69 percent) of respon-
dents think the United States is in decline,
and 83 percent are very or somewhat worried
about the nations future. Like almost every-
one else on the globe, a growing number of
us, according to the Pew Global Attitudes
Project, believe that China will surpass the
United States as the premier superpower.
But concern over Americas place in the
world is one thing, hysteria is quite another.
Paleoconservative commentator Pat Bucha-
nan has just published a book, Suicide of a
Superpower, in which he suggests that the
United States will collapse by 2025. So notice-
able is the naysaying that the editors of For-
eign Policy magazine set up an online De-
cline Watch to track, and occasionally rid-
icule, the gloom-and-doom punditry.
What this suggests is that Americans are
spending entirely too much time defending
their global status and not enough inventing a
brighter future. It also suggests that being the
sole world superpower is actually holding us
back.
Australian political scientist John Kane has
gone so far as to argue that when the United
States achieved global preeminence, there
emerged an irresolvable tension between
American power and American virtue. Sit-
ting at the top precludes striving to be better.
Barry C. Lynn, the author of Cornered:
The New Monopoly Capitalism and the Eco-
nomics of Destruction, suggests that Amer-
icans growing infatuation with power has led
us to cede too much control to corporate
giants. Likewise, military historian Andrew
Bacevich says our penchant for empire has
fostered a culture of entitlement that saps
innovation.
As a big portion of the world muddles
toward what could be a catastrophic shut-
down of the global financial system, Amer-
icans should keep in mind that our position at
the top of the heap might have done us as
much harm as good. Lynn is optimistic about
our chances of surviving whatever gloomy
days lie ahead. But itll depend on regaining
our rebellious spirit.
Everything is about to fall apart, he told
me over coffee earlier this month. The bright
side is that we have an opportunity to re-
establish our democracy after this plutocratic
era. Thatll allow us to unleash pent-up cre-
ativity we need to rethink how we engineer
competition and use corporations.
So maybe America is in decline. But fret-
ting about it wont help a lick. Its time to take
off our red coats.
Can a declining America recover superpower status?

UCH HOT AIR has
been expended,
with much coming,
about the failure of
Congress Joint Select Com-
mittee on Deficit Reduction to
reach an agreement to forestall
$1.2 trillion in budget cuts be-
ginning in 2013.
The supercommittee thus
confirmedtheworst suspicions
about this Congress: It is not
capable of addressing the na-
tions debt crisis, not if it would
imperil its members individual
interests.
Floating in the hot air are all
manner of excuses: President
Barack Obama failed to lead.
The Republicans wouldnt give
on tax expenditures. The Dem-
ocrats wouldnt be specific
about cuts to entitlements.
Etc., etc.
Ignore it all. Three words ex-
plainthe supercommittees fail-
ure and, indeed, much of the
debt crisis itself: Bush tax cuts.
Had Congress not enacted
President George W. Bushs
tax-cut proposals in 2001 and
2003, at least $2.2 trillion more
would have flowed into the
Treasury between 2001 and
2010, according to the author-
itative Tax Policy Center of the
Urban Institute and Brookings
Institution.
HadCongress not decidedto
pass a Medicare drug benefit
and wage two wars off the
books, the picture would have
been even brighter.
Water under the bridge,
right? Well, heres some water
thats still upstream: If Con-
gress were to allowthe tax cuts
to expire next year (theyve al-
ready been extended two years
becauseof adeal Obamastruck
with congressional Republi-
cans) it would mean an addi-
tional $4 trillion to the Treasu-
ry between 2012 and 2020.
Four trillion dollars is pre-
cisely the amount that the lead-
ers of the National Commis-
sion on Fiscal Responsibility
and Reformrecommended last
December as being needed in

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011 PAGE 3E
F O R U M
DEMO-
CRATS are
unanimous in
charging that
the debt-
reduction
supercommit-
tee collapsed
because Republicans refused to
raise taxes. Apparently, Repub-
licans are in the thrall of one
Grover Norquist, the anti-tax
campaigner, whom Sen. John
Kerry called the 13th member
of this committee without
being there. Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid helpfully
suggested maybe they should
impeach Grover Norquist.
With that, Norquist officially
replaces the Koch brothers as
the great malevolent manip-
ulator that controls the republic
by pulling unseen strings on
behalf of the plutocracy.
Nice theory. Except for the
following facts:
Sen. Tom Coburn last year
signed on to the Simpson-
Bowles tax reform that would
have increased tax revenues by
$1 trillion over a decade.
During the debt-ceiling
talks, Speaker John Boehner
agreed to an $800 billion reve-
nue increase as part of a Grand
Bargain.
Supercommittee member
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, a
Club for Growth Republican,
proposed increasing tax reve-
nues by $300 billion as part of
$1.2 trillion in debt reduction.
Leading, very conservative
Republicans proposing tax
increases. So why does the
myth of the Norquist-controlled
anti-tax monolith persist? You
might suggest cynicism and
perversity. Let me offer a more
benign explanation: thickhead-
edness. Democrats simply cant
tell the difference between tax
revenues and tax rates.
In deficit reduction, all that
matters is tax revenues. The
holders of our national debt
care not a whit what tax rates
yield the money to pay them
back. They care about the sum.
The Republican proposals
raise revenues, despite lowering
rates, by opening a gusher of
new income for the Treasury in
the form of loophole elimina-
tion. For example, the Toomey
plan eliminates deductions by
$300 billion more than the
reduction in tax rates cost.
Result: $300 billion in new
revenues.
The Simpson-Bowles com-
mission appointed by Presi-
dent Obama and endorsed by
Coburn used the same formu-
la. Its tax reform would lower
tax rates at a cost of $1 tril-
lion a year while eliminating
loopholes that deprive the
Treasury of $1.1 trillion a year.
This would leave the Treasury
with an excess i.e., new tax
revenues of $100 billion a
year, or $1 trillion over a dec-
ade.
Raising revenues through tax
reform is better than simply
raising rates, which Democrats
insist upon with near religious
fervor. It is more economically
efficient because it eliminates
credits, carve-outs and deduc-
tions that grossly misallocate
capital. And it is more fair be-
cause it is the rich who can
afford not only the sharp law-
yers and accountants who ex-
ploit loopholes but the lobby-
ists who create them in the first
place.
Yet the Democrats, who
flatter themselves as the party
of fairness, are instead obsessed
with raising tax rates on the
rich as a sign of civic virtue.
This is perverse in three ways:
(1) Raising rates gratuitously
slows economic growth, i.e.,
expansion of the economic pie
for everyone, by penalizing
work and by retaining ineffi-
ciency-inducing loopholes.
(2) Were talking pennies on
the dollar. Obamas coveted
Bush tax cut repeal would yield
the Treasury, at the very most,
$80 billion a year offsetting 2
cents on the dollar of govern-
ment spending ($3.6 trillion).
(3) Hiking tax rates ignores
the real drivers of debt, which,
as Obama himself has acknowl-
edged, are entitlements.
Has the president ever publi-
cly proposed a single significant
structural change in any entitle-
ment? After Simpson-Bowles
reported? No. In his February
budget? No. In his April 13
budget framework? No. Dur-
ing the debt-ceiling crisis? No.
During or after the supercom-
mittee deliberations? No.
And regarding the super-
committee, Obama was AWOL
then immediately pounced on
its failure by going on TV to
repeat his incessantly repeated
campaign theme of the do-
nothing (Republican) Congress.
A swell slogan that fits nicely
with the Norquist myth. Except
for another inconvenient fact: It
is the Republicans who passed
through the House, the only
branch of government they
control a real budget that cut
$5.8 trillion of spending over
the next 10 years. Obamas
February budget, which would
have increased spending, was
laughed out of the Senate,
voted down 97-0. As for the
Democratic Senate, it has sub-
mitted no budget at all for two
and a half years.
Who, then, is do-nothing?
Dems, not the GOP,
are debt do-nothings

ANOTHER VIEW

IT EMERGES
every Novem-
ber. From an
oven. From a
mold. From a
casserole dish.
It is lime green
or beet red or
marshmallow white. It has olives
or bananas or diced pimentos. It
elicits cheers or boos, mmm or
yechh, but no one is neutral.
Its the Thing You Eat Only On
Thanksgiving.
Can you smell it?
Oh, no, not the carrot loaf!
someone will yell, and someone
else will say, Oh, yes, the carrot
loaf! and someone else will say,
Every year its the same thing,
the stupid carrot loaf!
And every year it is. There is
something about Thanksgiving
that elicits the weirdly edible,
strangely constructed food. It is
oval-shaped. Or deep-dished. Or
in mini logs. Or the size of large
marbles. For a holiday where the
menu is supposed to be the
same, theres a rash of one-of-a-
kind dishes.
And one-of-a-kind for a reason.
Here comes the green stuff!
someone yells. Thats a refrain in
our home my wifes side. Lem-
on-lime Jell-O, cottage cheese,
walnuts and fruit cocktail from a
can. The Green Stuff. Dont ask
me. It came with the marriage.
I cant believe you eat that!
someone says.
Thats my favorite! someone
says.
I cant believe you eat that!
someone says.
Every family has one.
A quick Internet search on the
topic weird Thanksgiving food
reveals a cornucopia of dishes
apparently invented in finger-
painting class.
Cranberry Fluff using cran-
berry sauce, cranberry Jell-O,
whipped cream and crushed
pineapple.
Oyster casserole canned
oysters, hardtack, cream and
butter.
Yam patties. Speaks for itself.
Many of the oddball dishes
seem to involve, for some rea-
son, sweet potatoes. Or cream
cheese. Or olives.
Or Jell-O.
Before the Green Stuff, my
family had the mold. It mixes
raspberry Jell-O, big round cher-
ries and some kind of sherbet.
Its actually pretty good. It
moves on your plate like a live
squid, but its pretty good.
What I want to know is what
the Pilgrims would think. Ac-
cording to history books, the
original Thanksgiving meal
probably consisted of, in part,
cornmeal, fish, wild fowl and
turkey. There was likely some
rabbit, deer, squash, beans, nuts,
onions and eggs.
No mention of a pimento loaf.
Or celery/raisin/cottage
cheese bars.
Or cranberry sour cream.
Or yam patties. (I know we
used that one already. I just like
saying it.)
So the question is, with no
apparent link to the Pilgrims and
Indians, from where did the
Thing You Eat Only On Thanks-
giving come?
Well, I have a theory. When we
were kids, my grandmother
made a dish at the holidays
including Thanksgiving and
she called it tzimmes. I have no
idea if Im spelling that right, but
what could it matter? We had no
idea what was in it. Some kind
of sweet potato, prunes, carrots,
cinnamon. Or maybe dried wood
chips and dandelions? Who
knows?
The point was that my uncle,
her son, hated it. Hated it. Every
time it was served, he went
ballistic. Not the tzimmes
again! Its awful! Get it away
from me! Bleep!
And we all cracked up.
She made it every year. No-
body objected even though
hardly anyone ate it. Heres my
theory: We all wanted to hear
my uncle complain. What curse
words would he use this time? It
was funny. An expected high-
light.
A tradition.
He would die of cancer, my
uncle, much too young, in his
early 40s. One of the last big
family meals he attended, my
grandmother made the tzimmes
again. He was already sick. Not
his old vibrant self. But when he
saw that stuff, like a comic with
a lobbed punch line, he rallied.
Bleep! Not the bleepin
tzimmes.
We still laugh and cry at that
story.
So celebrate your olives. Your
yams. Your carrot loaves.
Thanksgiving is about bringing
us together in whatever way we
can cherish each other.
Nobody said you have to swal-
low.
Carrot loaf? Tzimmes? Our cherished traditions

LARNACA, Cyprus
Salam Hamrani is
safe for now.
My Iraqi fixer and
friend endured two
years in a Baghdad
jail. His crime:
helping American
troops nab Shiite militants who were
killing his Sunni neighbors. He finally
was freed and escaped with his family to
Greek Cyprus.
Our reunion in Larnaca was emotional
and full of laughter. But Salams story is a
sad tale of U.S. failures and betrayals in
Iraq.
A Shiite whose uncle was hung by
Saddam Hussein, Salam was thrilled
when U.S. troops ousted the dictator. As
Iraq collapsed into civil war, he was fu-
rious when the militant Shiite Mahdi
army moved into his mixed neighbor-
hood and started killing Sunnis.
So he started tipping U.S. officers at a
forward operating base in his district
about the worst of these killers.
When U.S. troops withdrew, family
members of one of these thugs got
friends in the Iraqi army to arrest him,
along with his two sons. A Shiite army
general who was chummy with the kill-
ers mother and sister made sure Salam
stayed in prison.
Although U.S. civilian and military
officials made inquiries (at my urging)
and these might have saved Salams life,
they were unable to expedite his freedom.
Finally, after two years, an honest judge
at great risk to his own life freed Salam
(there was no evidence against him).
But his Mahdi army enemies, who had
murdered his brother while he was in jail,
made death threats against him. And
under Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-
Maliki murderous Mahdi army mili-
tiamen who killed Iraqis and U.S. troops
are being let out of prison.
So Salam sold his property and his
wifes jewelry, packed up his family, in-
cluding his 1-year-old granddaughter, and
fled via Syria to Turkey. From Turkey,
smugglers took the family in a small boat
on a treacherous sea journey to Turkish
Cyprus. The family gave baby Fatima a
sleeping pill to keep her quiet.
They walked for hours in the dark in
order to cross the Turkish-Greek Cypriot
border, hushing Fatimas cries as they
passed Turkish policemen. Then they
requested asylum. They are waiting to
hear from the Greek Cypriot Interior
Ministry whether they will get refugee
status that will enable them to stay on
the island.
I hope they succeed, because if Salam
has to return home, he wont live long.
The price that Iraqis pay for having
helped Americans has become hideously
high.
This became painfully clear in the day
and a half I spent with Salam and his
family in Cyprus.
Hes renting a small furnished apart-
ment in Larnaca, where his courageous
wife Nadia freed from her black abaya
and veil cooks for the family and plays
with Fatima. Salam has not regained the
50 pounds he lost in prison and his fea-
tures are much sharper than when we
worked together in Baghdad.
Son Mustafa, 22, father of Fatima, sits
silently, still haunted by his arrest and
time in a tiny cell, too small to sit down
in. His other son, Marwan, 20, recalls
beatings with cables and electric prods.
Their army tormentors tried in vain to
make them swear that their father was a
terrorist.
Marwan now studies computer sci-
ence, and dreams of being able to have a
normal adulthood, while Mustafa does
little. These young men paid dearly for
their fathers crime of helping American
troops.
Salams gutsy assistance to his threat-
ened Sunni neighbors back home has not
gone unrecognized. An Iraqi Sunni busi-
nessman whose son was kidnapped by
Shiite militiamen and rescued by Salam
contributed some money to the Ham-
rani familys escape.
Another Sunni neighbor named Samer,
whom Salam rescued from Mahdi army
goons, visited him repeatedly in prison,
and then fled to Cyprus. As Salam and I
sat at an outdoor table at McDonalds on
the Larnaca seafront boardwalk where
Iraqi refugee families come to stroll in the
winters cold Samer dropped by.
The two men recalled, how, when
smugglers dropped Salam and his family
off in Larnaca in the middle of the night,
he called Samer, who rushed to help
them. But when the men started dis-
cussing their uncertain future, the con-
versation died.
Salam and his family are still living in
limbo. Greek Cypriot officials have told
him he will get refugee status (which
gives the right to work but not citizen-
ship); yet this still hasnt come through.
And despite his work with American
journalists, and the huge risks he took to
help U.S. troops, Salams chances of com-
ing to America are slim.
Congress established a Special Im-
migrant Visa program in 2008 to help
Iraqis who are endangered because they
helped us. The program promised to
grant 25,000 primary visas over five years
(with more visas for family members);
less than 3,500 have been issued so far.
And just when those visas are most need-
ed with all U.S. troops set to leave by
the end of this year the program has
been frozen by new security require-
ments.
Only 10 applicants were admitted in
August, 40 in September and 98 in Octo-
ber; a backlog of thousands is still wait-
ing. Iraqis who have completed the SIV
process are being told they must wait
eight to nine more months, even though
many are under death threat.
Im getting e-mail from Iraqi interpret-
ers who have had to leave U.S. military
bases that are closing, and are moving
from house to house lest they be mur-
dered. In eight to nine months, those
interpreters might well be dead.
This failure to act is a blot on Americas
honor, a betrayal of Iraqis who risked
their lives to help us.
Regretfully, one Iraqi has paid too high a price to help Americans

Writer doubts NFIB
truly non-partisan
I
have been noticing a televi-
sion commercial by the
National Federation of Inde-
pendent Business that con-
gratulates Congressman Lou
Barletta of Hazleton for his
efforts on its behalf. Whenever
I see these nebulous orga-
nizations supporting the GOP
point of view, I need to in-
vestigate.
Here is some information
about the NFIB:
1. It calls itself non-parti-
san, but the organization
consistently gives its support
to the GOP, campaigning 95
percent of the time or more
for Republican candidates.
2. The NFIB is losing mem-
bership, from 600,000 mem-
bers in 2006 to 350,000 in
2009.
3. The NFIB continually
champions pro-corporate
positions.
So, what can we surmise?
Well, it is proven to be very
partisan, not non-partisan as
the commercial would like you
to believe. It gives a biased
and not forthcoming repre-
sentation of Congressman
Barlettas efforts.
Maybe our congressman is
an NFIB operative supporting
pro-corporation positions at
the expense of you, the every-
day working middle class. Let
the public beware!

ey for the Hotel Sterling dem-
olition work. Why arent the
commissioners going after
CityVest? Has CityVest ac-
counted for every penny it got
from us? Does CityVest have
any assets that we can get to
satisfy this loan?
Ill bet there is more to it
than what the commissioners
are telling us. I guess well
find out when the new lead-
ership takes over.

Gas drilling bills
ignore taxpayers
O
ur state Senate and House
of Representatives are
trying to pass bills that
favor gas drillers over Penn-
sylvania taxpayers. These
bills, SB1100 and HB1950, are
not only poorly written, but
also sell out their constituency
on the matter of gas drilling
impact fees and local munici-
pal powers.
These bills give huge gifts
to the industry at the expense
of the people.
The bills take away local
municipal powers to help zone
the industry, which is neces-
sary and individualized for
each community. For example,
the work by the Dallas tax-
payers group to try and keep
compressor stations operated
by Williams Co. and Chief
Gathering Co. away from
Dallas High School would be
challenged by the industry
and then brought to the at-
torney general of Pennsylvania
for a final decision.
With a governor who has
not shown any restraint in
gifting the Marcellus Shale
drillers and with the impunity
with which the natural gas
industry has been disturbing
the land, air and water
throughout the state, we all
know how a decision handed
to the attorney general will
turn out.
In my district, state Sen.
Lisa Baker voted to strip local
municipalities of any remain-
ing democracy and local rule
of law to govern those she was
meant to protect.
The impact fees are too
meager in relation to the other
33 states that tax gas drilling,
even when our states compa-
nies are poised so close to
their end markets that they
are making higher profits. Not
only that, but in Luzerne
County, even though we are
being negatively impacted by
damage to our roads and
bridges from the thousands of
trucks going to drill sites out
of county, and we presumably
will be breathing the fumes
from the myriad of compres-
sor stations that will be all
around us, we wont see any of
this money.
The public needs to stay
awake on what our elected
officials are doing, and are not
doing, in their legislative roles
to preserve the rights of local
communities to decide what
they deem appropriate in their
backyards. Many of our state
senators and representatives
have overstepped their bounds
in this decision and the public
(regardless of party affiliation)
will not be happy with having
their rights stripped.
The regulations proposed
by these bills were fast-tracked
by the governor and written
by a Marcellus Commission
that was stacked with industry
representatives; the public
was left out of the discussion.
The setbacks proposed are too
small and do not square with
scientific evidence advocating
for farther distances from
private or public water suppli-
es and wells. Best practices
are not mandated on the in-
dustry, and drilling will now
be allowed in residential areas.
The gas is going nowhere. If
you thought the time was
right to pass something rather
than nothing, Senator Baker,
maybe you should have con-
sidered a moratorium to get
the consensus and compro-
mise your constituency de-
serves rather than rush to gift
the industry.
Please call your state sen-
ator and representative now.
Urge them to reject these bills,
and tell them to go back to the
drawing board.

preachers son and former Eagle
Scout who left Marquette Univer-
sity without a degree and found
his callinginconservative politics.
A former state assemblyman and
an elected Milwaukee County ex-
ecutive, Walker led a 2010 Repub-
licansweepinWisconsinthat gave
the GOP a lock on power, includ-
ing both bodies of the Legislature.
Onceelected, Walker, 44, hit the
ground sprinting. Before even tak-
ingoffice, he lobbiedtoblock$810
million in federal rail funds. Walk-
ers February bill aimed at fixing
thestatesimmediatebudget prob-
lems andessentiallydidawaywith
the need for unions representing
teachers and state and local work-
ers; organizations that are part of
the Democratic Partys bedrock.
The bill called for higher pen-
sion and health care contributions
and prohibited these unions (but
not those representing police and
firefighters) from negotiating for
pensions, health care costs or
work rules. It capped annual wage
hikes, required annual union re-
certification votes and banned
payroll deductions for union dues.
As soon as the unions saw
them, UW-Madison political sci-
ence professor Charles Franklin
said of the bills provisions, it was
clear they were looking at their
death sentence.
Tens of thousands marched on
the Capitol, with some crowds
measuring beyond 100,000. Dem-
ocratic senators fled the 33-mem-
ber chamber and hid out in Illi-
nois, in a vain effort to block the
bill. Walker was pranked into a
taped phone call with a deep-
voicedposer hebelievedtobecon-
servative benefactor David Koch.
Walker never budged and the
bill passed as he proposed it. A
nasty state Supreme Court race
andnineSenaterecalls dominated
the spring and summer. Interest
groups made Wisconsin their
proxy battleground to the tune of
$44 million in campaign expendi-
tures.
Bythat time, LynnFreemanand
Ray Yunker had their eyes on the
big prize.
Veterans of the mass demon-
strations, they gravitated to Unit-
ed Wisconsin, which dedicated it-
self in February to the sole task of
recalling Walker.
At some point it becomes obvi-
ous that marching in a circle feels
good, but isnt going to get any-
thing accomplished, said Free-
man, a Madison career counselor
and a board member of the orga-
nization.
Yunker, also a board member,
lost a job in real estate and now
works for a school bus company.
He begantofeel part of something
much bigger. I think it may have
started in Egypt, moved to Madi-
sonandis nowspreadingthrough-
out the country he said.
Activists have also filed recall
petitions against Lt. Gov. Rebecca
Kleefischandfour Republicansen-
ators, including Senate Majority
Leader Scott Fitzgerald. If these
elections take place, most likely in
the spring, Wisconsin will con-
duct an unheard-of 13 legislative
recalls and the Walker-Kleefisch
recalls in less than a years time.
In an interview in his office,
where a sign proclaims Wiscon-
sin is Open for Business, Walker
was focused and determined but
said the weeks of demonstrations
were pretty intense. He contin-
ues to deal with bullhorns aimed
at his office windows, but he nei-
ther backs down on his policies
nor criticizes public workers per-
sonally.
He points out differences be-
tween benefit packages for public
and private workers and blames
national unions seekingtoreclaim
their dues for the opposition. He
objects strenuously to the most
persistent criticismof himthat
his original sin, as foes call it,
was in not disclosing during the
campaign that he planned radical
changes in public employee bar-
gaining.
For eight years as a county ex-
ecutive I talked repeatedly about
the problem of collective bargain-
ing and arbitration, Walker said.
He saidhe has dealt withaninher-
ited $3.6 billion deficit the way he
said he would. We clearly said
weregoingtodoit without raising
taxes, were going to do it in a way
that creates more jobs in the pri-
vate sector, were going to do it by
protecting core services and
thats what weve done, Walker
said.
Freed from campaign limits
during the recall period, and ex-
pecting the petition drive to suc-
ceed, Walker said he will fight vig-
orously for his job and will argue
that early returns from property
tax bills and school negotiations
show his plan is working. Only
two U.S. governors, Gray Davis of
California in 2003 and Lynn Fra-
zier of North Dakota in1921, have
been removed from office via re-
call.
I still think the overwhelming
majority of voters inthe state have
just kind of had it with year-round
elections, Walker said. They just
want us to move forward.
Forward is Wisconsins motto,
but for many Walker foes, the
states 7.7 percent unemployment
rate belies his promise to create a
boom in new jobs. Economic con-
cerns lie beneath the surface of
many recall supporters, as do
Walkers cuts to address the defi-
cit, whichopponents sayareweak-
ening the states pillar of public
education.
Stephan Thompson, executive
director of the state Republican
Party, said Walker had to take on
union power to deal with the
states ruinous structural budget
problems. He said Walker chal-
lengedlabor unionsthat basically
got away with whatever they
wanted fromthe Democratic lead-
ership. The result, Thompson
said, isafiscallystronger statethat
will bemoreattractivetobusiness-
es.
Polls show the recall effort pos-
es the same existential threat to
the governor that he represented
to the unions. In the Tenney Park
neighborhood of this very liberal
city, volunteer Randy Wagner
drew a quick signature from resi-
dent Erin Moonlight.
Id bake you brownies if I had
time, she told Wagner. You want
blood? Ill give blood.
The determination of those
wanting a recall was on display
again Saturday, when an estimat-
ed 25,000 to 30,000 people gath-
ered under a cold drizzle in Capi-
tol Square to promote the recall
campaign.
Back in the rotunda earlier in
the week, a cartoonish sign above
the singers showed one robed
judge grabbing another, a refer-
ence to a physical altercation be-
tweentwoSupremeCourt justices
over (what else?) Walkers budget
bill. A counter-protester carried a
sign accusing the singers of vio-
lence and a cutout image showed
Walker clad in a pink slip, signi-
fying his hoped-for departure.
What democracy looks like,
mostly, is hard work, summed up
by a banner draped above the
demonstration. Struggle for the
Soul of Wisconsin, it reads a
message both sides would agree
with.

AUSTIN, Texas Rick Perry
was not always a champion of
states rights and a voice of evan-
gelical populism.
In his first major speech to the
Texas Legislature a decade ago,
after George W. Bush ascended
to the White House, Perry struck
a moderate tone, a hands-across-
the-aisle appeal that mirrored
Bushs moderate pragmatism as
governor.
How can we expect our bor-
der children to reach for the sky
when they cannot even reach the
classroom? Perry said, calling
for more state and federal fund-
ing for schools and college schol-
arships. He pitched it as a cause
far greater thanparty or politics.
A very different Perry ad-
dressed the Legislature last Feb-
ruary. From the same House
chamber, under a high ceiling
and gleaming chandeliers, he de-
livered a message that seemed
crafted for the political moment.
Instead of boosting teacher
benefits, he recommended that
school districts do more with
less. Rather than increasing col-
lege scholarships, he warned of
cuts on the way. He foreshad-
owed the dwindling funding of
Medicaid for the poor.
In the first talk, his guest had
been a college student benefiting
from a state grant. This time, it
was the widow of a Houston po-
lice officer killed by an illegal im-
migrant.
The economic and social envi-
ronment in Texas had changed.
And so had Perry.
That conversion is getting
more attention nowthat hes run-
ning for president.
RickPerry is not the same guy
he was when he first became gov-
ernor, said Kathy Miller of the
Texas Freedom Network, a non-
profit group that monitors social
conservatives in government.
Andthats entirely todowiththe
shifting political winds inTexas.
As a Democrat in the Texas
House in the 1980s, Perry was a
moderate conservative sup-
porting agriculture and business
but also voting to triple legisla-
tors pay and to raise taxes by
$5.7 billion the biggest in-
crease in state history to bal-
ance the budget.
Later, as a Republican and the
state agriculture commissioner,
Perry praised the efforts of then-
first ladyHillaryRodhamClinton
on behalf of national health care.
In a letter to Clinton in1993, Per-
ry wrote that her efforts in try-
ing to reform the nations health
care system are most commend-
able.
But as the state grew more Re-
publican, the contours of Perrys
politics evolvedas well. Nowhere
is that evolutionclearer thandur-
ing his decade as governor.
Hes moved more further to
the right because hes got the lay
of the land, said Bruce Bucha-
nan, a University of Texas politi-
cal scientist.
There were more Democrats
in the Legislature when he took
over than there are now. At some
point, Perry began toying with
larger aspirations, and he had to
notice that the Republican Party
was moving sharply rightward
and that competitive opportuni-
ties might open up there.
In his first year as governor,
Perry signed a hate crimes bill
that included gays as a protected
class anathema to the partys
right wing. His instinct, at least
initially, was tomimic Bushs cen-
trist bipartisanism.
Certainly, youre not going to
see a great philosophical differ-
ence between Rick Perry and Ge-
orge Bush, he said shortly after
taking office. Stylewise, I guess
well just have to wait and see
maybe it will be the difference be-
tween a Yalie and an Aggie.
Although some conservatives
in the GOP opposed a state
health insurance program for
Texas teachers, Perry advocated
a way to do it.
At a border summit in South
Texas, he cited the feasibility of
bi-national healthinsurance cov-
ering both U.S. and Mexican resi-
dents along the border.
And in a 2001letter to The Dal-
las Morning News, Perry said he
was intrigued and open to the
Bush administrations amnesty
proposal for illegal-immigrant
workers.
But the Perry who presented
himself for re-election to a third
full termlast year andfor pres-
ident this year was a different
man, tempered by a decade of in-
creasingly partisan politics and
adept at seizing the current polit-
ical mood.
A Perry campaign spokesman
did not respond last week to a re-
quest for comment. Perry aides
previously have said the gover-
nor has beenconsistent inreflect-
ing Texas and its values con-
servative, business-friendly and
fiscally prudent.
Democratic state Rep. Garnet
Coleman of Houston added
something else.
Hes an opportunist, Cole-
mansaid. That wouldbe the sin-
gle word that best describes him
opportunist.
(EDITORS: STORYCANEND
HERE)
Coleman said Perrys embrace
of the religious right is an exam-
ple.
In advance of his 2006 re-elec-
tion race, Perry learned that Re-
publican U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey
Hutchison was considering chal-
lenging him. Hutchison support-
ed abortion rights in some in-
stances, apositionthat appeals to
moderate Republicanwomenbut
not religious conservatives.
Perry needed to ensure that
the GOP base turned out in big
numbers, so he helped create a
network of evangelical pastors to
back a 2005 ballot initiative to
ban gay marriage.
Organized by Perry allies and
funded by Perry donors, the Tex-
as Restoration Project encour-
agedcongregations to vote their
values. Perry became a cham-
pion of the gay-marriage ban.
His office scheduled a ceremo-
nial bill-signing at a Christian
school in Fort Worth. Perry was
joined by Tony Perkins of the
Family Research Council and
Don Wildmon of the American
Family Association. Rod Parsley,
a barrel-chested Ohio televange-
list with a blowtorch delivery, ex-
horted Texas voters to outlaw
same-sex marriage.
We are not to sacrifice our
children on the altar of sexual
lust of a few, Parsley said. Ho-
mosexuals are anything but hap-
py and anything but fine.
As Texas grew more GOP and conservative, Perrys politics evolved

of visas it issues to citizens of
countries that dont accept their
people back.
This legal remedy works,
Adams wrote inThe Washington
Times this month, citingit as key
to persuading Guyana in 2001 to
take back more than 100 immi-
grants the U.S. wanted to expel.
The fight gives Adams, elected
with the strong backing of the
tea party in 2010, a pet issue to
attack the administration that
appeals to conservatives.
Adams, like many of her GOP
peers, has advocated increased
state and federal efforts to detain
and deport immigrants here ille-
gally.
The right-leaning Center for
Immigration Studies has ap-
plauded her approach as a good
companion to legislation filed by
U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas,
that would give greater power to
immigration officials to hold
criminal immigrants in custody
if they cant be deported quickly
or at all.
I think it is very useful to
press the administration on why
they have not been using the
tools Congress has giventhemto
encourage or incentivize other
countries to take their people
back, said Jessica Vaughan, di-
rector of policy studies at the
center.
We have been far too timid or
reluctant to use the leverage that
we have. Ms. Adams is right to
press them, she said.
Adams had asked that Home-
land Security look into why it
hasnt used the tactic of with-
holding visas more often.
Under current law, immigra-
tion officials do have some lee-
way to hold immigrants indefi-
nitely if they are deemed to have
contagious diseases, are consid-
ered a terrorist threat or are an
immediate danger to the com-
munity. But simply having a
criminal record isnt enough.
Statistics from the past three
years prove as much.
Of the 12,871 immigrants re-
leased from immigration deten-
tion centers from October 2008
to April 2011, about 68 percent
had criminal records, according
to ICE statistics.
Data on what they had been
convicted of were unavailable.
An oft-cited snapshot of the
detainee population on Jan. 25,
2009, found that among those
withcriminal records a 42per-
cent minority that day the
most common crimes were drug
charges, assault and driving un-
der the influence.
Opponents of tougher deten-
tion laws argue that keeping
someone in detention indefinite-
ly for a past crime after the de-
tainee has already served jail
time is categorically unfair,
especially for immigrants from
places such as Cuba where de-
portation is a remote possibility.
We are not the kind of people
who lock people up for life, said
David Leopold of the American
Immigration Lawyers Associ-
ation.
He described efforts by Adams
and others as politics pure and
simple and said that their push
on this issue was proof they were
going out of their way to embar-
rass the administration.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oh, the sto-
ries Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney
could tell you from their early days to-
gether in Music City. And theyre about
to make more, joining forces on an am-
bitious stadiums-only tour next sum-
mer.
Chesney and McGraw got to know
each other living in the same apart-
ment complex 20 years ago, cemented
their friendship opening for George
Strait, and joined forces in 2001 when
McGraw invited Ches-
ney on the road at a
pivotal moment in his
career. Theyre team-
ing again from the pin-
nacle of country mu-
sic.
Its two artists
whove known each
other for 20 years,
whove been friends
for 20 years ... at the
top of our game to be
able to go out and do
this together,
McGraw said. To get
two artists to agree on
anything is pretty
spectacular. But to agree to go out to-
gether, do a tour together and just have
a great time together andplay music to-
gether is a pretty unique and remarka-
ble thing. And I think that can only hap-
pen with guys who are as good of
friends as we are.
The tour, dubbed the Brothers of the
Sun Tour, will kick off June 2 in Tampa,
Fla., and wrap Aug. 25 in Foxboro,
Mass. Along the way there will be stops
in many of the nations largest cities.
Theres also a stop in Nashville, a place
neither artist has played regularly.
It seemed time, Chesney said.
There was no other reason than that.
It just seemed like it was time for us to
play at home again. Its a really ironic
place for us to play because we played
in the shadows of that place for so long,
right downtown in all these bars ... for
tips. Now all we have to do is go across
the river.
All were really trying to do is keep
from having to go back and play for
tips, McGraw joked.
There will be no need for that. Both
rose fromtip-jar status to the superstar
level, and Chesney is currently country
musics undisputed top live draw. He
soldmore than1.3 milliontickets onhis
tour this summer hes topped 1 mil-
lion eight times now and fills stadi-
ums regularly. Hes not just one of coun-
trys top draws but one of musics.
Chesney has always been ambitious,
but this tour takes it a step farther. He
says theres nothing like standing on
stage with 60,000 people singing your
songs back to you. The chance to do it
18 times will be spectacular.
I love seeing that passion on every-
bodys faces up there and all those peo-
ple that are singing your songs back to
you, Chesney said. And to be able to
do it with your buddy and see it happen
to him and us together, its going to be
special. It may not happen again.
Its the kind of moment both day-
dreamed about while living on the out-
skirts of Nashville. They played hot-
dog stands and dive bars, places like
The Turf and Skulls Rainbow Room.
They have so many stories, though
few theyre willing to tell publicly.
Weve got our own demons, weve
got our own fun, weve got a lot of
friendship going into next summer,
Chesney said. There is one story I can
tell about Tim. ... I remember vividly a
girl knocking out a windshield of his
car with a baseball bat. I remember
that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thats all that
needs to be said about that, McGraw
said as both laughed at the memory. I
remember the electricity being off a lot
(and saying), Bring some burritos and
a fire log. Bring your guitar and well
sing George Straits greatest hits.

If you wanted to see a lute
and a crumhorn, where would
you go?
No, not to a bakery. The mu-
sicians of Mannheim Steam-
roller will bring re-creations of
these medieval instruments to
Wilkes-Barre along with
drums, synthesizers, a light
show and a touch of holiday
cheer.
Its eclectic music, and its a
combination of styles that
range from the Renaissance to
the most modern rock-n-roll
rhythms, said Steamroller co-
founder ChipDavis, describing
the fare planned for a Tuesday-
eveningconcert at theF.M. Kir-
by Center on Public Square.
Well have synthesizers right
alongside harpsichords and
grand piano and the recorders
from the 14th century.
Were a lot like Colonel
Sanders, Davis said. Abucket
of chicken filled with different
pieces.
Dont be surprised when the
musician refers to corporate lo-
gos.
I used to
be a jingle
writer, Da-
vis said. I
did over
2,500. I did a
lot of TV
news themes,
music for the
1980s Olym-
pics, Greyhound buses, that
kind of stuff. It forced me into
not just beinga classical player.
I had to compose in a lot of dif-
ferent styles.
The musicians of Mannheim
Steamroller are similarly versa-
tile, he said.
Theyre all highly educated
and trained. They have to be
able to play the rock-n-roll ver-
sion of a song, the present-day
version and the versions that
go all the way back to the Dark
Ages.
One highlight of Tuesdays
concert is a 20-minute segment
of costumed characters re-en-
acting a Renaissance-style
feast. It will be projectedonto a
100-foot-wide screen so every-
one will get a good view, Davis
said.
The concert also includes a
modern light show and plenty
of holiday tunes.

HOROSCOPE
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
So-called necessities
will turn out to be unnec-
essary, after all. Youll
be reducing your needs
because it makes life sim-
pler and more pleasurable
to do so. It also happens
to reduce your carbon
footprint.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You remember who you
are and what you came for.
You could even reach out
and grab it in one dashing
move. What held you back
before was fear, and it was
all in your head.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your memory will serve
you well and could make
you money. Old advice
will be newly applicable.
For instance, you may get
the prime opportunity to
heed the warning your
mother gave you all those
years ago.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You usually want to make
something beautiful out of
what was once quite ordi-
nary. However, now youll
be inspired by the chal-
lenge of creating some-
thing beautiful out of what
was downright despicable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Strong intentions will be
necessary for progress to
happen. It will take a bit of
a push to get people moti-
vated, but diplomacy is
needed, too. Youll succeed
by figuring out where to
push and how hard.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You will be asked to
change your stance on an
issue, though the reasons
for doing so may not be
compelling enough to con-
vince you. You know your
mind, and youre not going
to change it so easily.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Youll be in the mood to
share, though your usual
personal boundaries might
be a little fuzzy. So be
careful what you confess
and to whom. Tonight
youll learn of exciting
developments in your
inner circle.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You will witness someone
doing good in the world.
The act may be small, but
it is still remarkable. This
will expand your vision of
what it means to make the
world a better place.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your mind and heart
will provide ample illumi-
nation for you to see the
world how it really is. In
some way, youll light the
path for someone with a
broken bulb.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You wont run away
from a challenge just
because it seems hard.
Indeed, it is the high level
of difficulty that makes
you rush toward it. Your
favorite kind of challenge
is an impossible one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Your thoughts and
behaviors will convey your
generous nature. When
they dont, you feel on a
physical level that youre
misaligned or simply not
yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Your heart will be light;
your mood, majestic.
Nothing, not even the
densest cloud cover, can
stop you from spreading
the sunshine and dancing
in the moonlight.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov.
27). An aura of glamour
envelops you this year.
Youll put yourself into
endeavors that some
would call impractical,
but you know better. Your
commitment to doing what
makes you feel happy will
prove the most useful and
down-to-earth choice. Your
best financial months are
March, June and October.
Leo and Pisces people
adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 1
and 16.

1. The debate raged wildly about the
length of political terms. The senate
janitor commented wryly: a
politician should do two terms
one in office and one in jail.
2. Politics is the art of looking for
trouble, finding it everywhere,
making sure everyone knows about
the problems and raising enough
cash to disappear when the going
gets rough.
3. Most campaign rhetoric can be
plainly defined as baloney disguised
as food for thought.
4. Clearly, even the smartest
president cant fool all of the people
all of the time. Thats why we have a
vice president.
DEAR ABBY
Daughters rejection
adds to mans pain
Dear Abby:
I am married
to the most
wonderful
husband
and father
a woman
could ask for. He has been
diagnosed with a terminal
illness and may not have
long to live. Ever since I
met John he has searched
for his daughter who was
given up for adoption
years ago. We recently
found her. It took him
some time to find the
courage to send her a
message, and when he did
she rejected him.
Patty met her birth
mother a few years ago
and decided to have
contact only with her.
This has caused John
so much pain that I some-
times cry myself to sleep
at night. Our daughters
were raised knowing they
have an older sister. They
also know we found Patty
and she doesnt want to
get to know us. I dont
know how to explain whats
happening without them
thinking theyre not good
enough.
My husband was raised
in foster homes. He had
no family, so family is the
most important thing in
the world to us and he
could die at any moment.
I dont know what I can
do to ease the sadness or
make his daughter see
that she may not have
another chance. Abby, please
help.
Blindsided in
Bend, Ore.
Dear Blindsided: Ill try.
Write Patty a letter and
tell her that her father
loves her and searched
for her for many years
before he was able to
locate her. Tell her that
he is now terminally ill
and would like to see her
before he dies and
that it could be healing
for both of them. Of
course, it is her right to
refuse.
As to what you should
tell your daughters,
explain that Pattys reason
for not wanting to meet
them may be that her
birth mother has poisoned
her against the paternal
branch of the family, and
not to take it personally.
It may very well be the
truth.

What I did is, other than a few
of myownoriginals, I tooka lot of
the Christmas carols we knowto-
day, like The Holly and the Ivy,
backtotheir origins inthe14thor
15th centuries. You can hear
them the way they would have
sounded back then.
Davis no longer plays percus-
sion after injuring his neck and
right arm in a car accident a few
years ago. But, Davis said, his
original keyboardplayer, Jackson
Berkey, is still part of the band
and looking forward to the
Wilkes-Barre tour stop because
he has local ties.
Berkey was born in Hunting-
don, according to an online biog-
raphy, and earned a degree in pi-
ano performance at Wilkes Col-
lege, now Wilkes University, be-
fore attending Juilliard for
graduate work and, in1974, help-
ing to establish Mannheim

Theres no soul in a machine do-

Besides the technological
shift, Sector members also
have seen a change in area
nightlife. Brogna said people
just dont seem to go out as
much anymore.
Rich Perry, 30, of Kingston,
who goes by Diesis-I, points to
the fact that many bars prefer to
book a band over a DJ.
We want to bring something
different to these venues, Perry
said. Were capable of bringing
all different genres of music to
these places, of keepingit fresh, if
only they would give us a
chance.
Sector One hosts regular DJ
nights in the area, which give
individuals the chance to dis-
play their skills. Forward takes
place the third Thursday of
each month at River Street Jazz
Caf in Plains Township, and
Rage takes place the second
and fourth Saturday of each
month at Ole Tyme Charleys in
Plains Township.
With more than a century of
experience among its members,
Sector is ready to educate any-
one interested in DJing.
The best advice we can give
to someone starting out is find a
DJ and become his best friend,
Dunkailo said.
Thats what were here for,
Perry said. We want to reach
out to that younger audience
looking to get a solid start, to let
them know that they can come
hang out with us and see what
its all about.

The newspaper obituary isnt
just the announcement of a per-
sons death and service sched-
ule. Obits often are homages to
a life well lived, an insightful
look at a person and the impact
he or she had on the world.
But in the intriguing Dead
Last, the obit becomes a sinis-
ter weapon that takes aim at
Thorn, James W. Halls peren-
nial Key Largo beach bum.
Thorn has never been the
most sociable of characters,
content to eke out a living tying
fishing flies, enjoying the way-
ward scent of wilderness and
becoming involvedwithone ne-
farious crime after another.
But the death of Rusty Sta-
bler, his wife of one month,
throws Thornintoagrief-fueled
rage over which he has little
control. Some crucial atom in-
side him had cracked apart and
all the wild-eyed craziness ...
stabilized by her presence went
into a state of fission. Nearly
suicidal, Thorn starts burning
everything he owns clothes,
furniture, mementoes. The
bonfire cleansing is in full
force when Buddha Hilton, the
19-year-old sheriff of Starkville,
Okla., shows up at Thorns Key
Largo house. Michaela Stabler,
a high-profile lawyer who was
Buddhas adoptive mother and
Rustys aunt, was murdered in
her bed in Starkville. Rustys
newspaper obituary was placed
next to the body.
The murder scene is eerily
similar to Miami Ops, a fail-
ingTVcrime showbeingfilmed
in South Florida that is written
by Sawyer Moss and stars his
twin brother, Flynn. Adding to
the coincidence, the Moss
brothers are the only sons of
April Moss, the newspaper obit
writer and an old acquaintance
of Thorn.
Buddha has little use for
Thorn, and both are out of their
comfort zones in the urban jun-
gle of Miami. But they make a
credible detective team as they
investigate whether the grow-
ing pattern of murders is a ploy
for better TV ratings.
Dead Last works as an ex-
citing detective novel but also
provides an insightful look at
grief. The solid story and char-
acters show why Hall ranks at
the top echelon of Florida mys-
tery writers.

BEST SELLERS
A
lthough her parents died
when she was in her teens,
Pat Nixonwas determined
to get ahead. She went to work so
she could attend college. She was
fond of acting on the stage and
met Richard M. Nixon in a Whit-
tier Community Players produc-
tion of The Dark Tower. They
married in 1940; as a political
wife, and eventual first lady, Pat
was soft-spoken, dutiful and even
tragic as her life fell in her hus-
bands shadow.
All of this can be gleaned from
Ann Beatties book Mrs. Nixon:
ANovelist Imagines a Life, but it
is hardly at the center. Beattie be-
gins by listing the 11 nicknames
Pat, born Thelma, went by. Sur-
prisingly, she is not talking about
the subject of her book, but about
the process of writing. Names,
nicknames, theyre fascinating to
writers, but they also cause anx-
iety because theyre so elusive,
andbecausewriters havetocome
up with so many of them.
The name of this book is elu-
sive to a fault. More appropriate
titles might have been A Novel-
ist Writes About Writing, Using
Mrs. Nixon as a Starting Point,
or MFAin a Book: AShort Story
Writer on Writing. Those seek-
ing a richly imagined life of a first
lady, with emotions and details
and a story that moves forward
from chapter to chapter, should
look elsewhere.
Beattie, who teaches at the
University of Virginia, is one of
the most acclaimed short-story
writers of her generation (shes a
babyboomer). Sheuses this book
to impart her writing lessons,
many of them in short, discon-
nected chapters. She provides
close readings of major short-sto-
ry writers such as Anton Chek-
hov, RaymondCarver andGuyde
Maupassant; sometimes, but not
always, they are connected to as-
pects of Pat Nixons history or
persona.
Beattie has many creative in-
sights, whichdirectlyaddress her
writing process in general, and
the writing of this book in partic-
ular. Writing fiction about a real
person tests my unexamined as-
sumptions, she writes, letting
me see if, in the character I cre-
ate, my preconceptions are re-
flected, reverse, or obscured.
Even louder than that voice of
introspection is the voice of the
professor, dispensing wisdom to
ready recipients. Fiction writers
rely on dialogue to carry more
meaning than the words them-
selves convey, she writes, con-
tinuing, if the writer relies too
much on things happening sud-
denly, the reader is likely to be-
come skeptical. After imagining
a conversation between Pat Nix-
on and Hillary Clinton making
cookies together, she writes,
Mrs. Nixon baking cookies with
Hillary Clinton is an example of
an anachronism. This is fol-
lowedbyshort chapters withsim-
ilar endnotes explaining how
theyre examples of irmus, epi-
zeus and charentismus, all rel-
atively obscure rhetorical terms.
Are you taking notes?
Yes, this travels far from the
subject at hand, if it can be said
that Pat Nixon is in fact the sub-
ject. Mrs. Nixon, who didnt want
her husband to return to politics
after his1960loss of the presiden-
tial election to John F. Kennedy,
faded into the background after
Nixon became president in 1968.
Her muted presence, maybe
veiled by a self-effacing proper-
ness, left a canvas so blank that it
provides Beattie with the great-
est of challenges: a character who
is so uninteresting as to barely be
there. Canshe make a storyout of
an enigma?
In only a few chapters does
Beattie genuinely take up this
challenge, imagining Mrs. Nixon
moving through the world, giv-
ing her enough roomon the page
tothinkor feel. Inone of the most
powerful short sections, she illus-
trates Mrs. Nixons sad, anxious
thoughts as the White House
photographer gathers her family
for some last pictures; her hus-
band has resigned in disgrace.
Its just good enough to make a
reader wonder why there arent
more passages like it.
As the book goes on, her hus-
band intrudes. An intelligent,
complex and deeply flawed man,
he is more compelling than his
wife as a character. His role as
president, and the predominance
of that in their lives, moves him
further toward center stage. Yet
while Beattie claims to have
channeled his voice, it comes off
not as empathetic but campy; he
is better illuminated elsewhere.
She makes one valuable connec-
tion, however: that Nixon, who
ordered campaigns of fake letters
to the editor supporting his
views, was actually a practitioner
of fiction, on a grand scale.
Beattie turns to literature over
and over, doling out writing ad-
vice, making proclamations
about how fiction functions, us-
ing it as the key to unlock real
people. The book may not en-
lighten us at all about Mrs. Nix-
on, but it reveals the erudite
workings of writer and educator
Ann Beattie.
Beattie writes with total assur-
ance, as if she is giving a lecture.
For those unfamiliar with the
subject of writing, this could be
an interesting introduction to
howwriters write. But it is a dan-
gerous one.
Because she leaves little room
for inquiry and even less for de-
viation, the book becomes one
long-winded speech. Where
there might be exploration, there
is pontification. What might be
confidence starts to come across
as careless blitheness. Her inter-
pretations are sometimes strange
graffiti always says what it
means, the glass animals in Ten-
nessee Williams The Glass Me-
nagerie are a symbol for Lauras
hymen, the first novel was 1740s
Pamela: or, Virtue Rewarded by
Samuel Richardson and her
thoughts on writing are individu-
al, not truths that should be uni-
versally acknowledged.
More nurturing writing guides
have come fromthe desk of Anne
Lamott. And a fully imagined life
of a first lady can be found in Cur-
tis Sittenfelds American Wife
(2008), a novel loosely based on
the life of Laura Bush. Mrs. Nix-
on falls short on both counts.

I
ma greedy tourist. When I
travel, I want to experience
it all: the old and the new,
the quaint and the cosmo-
politan, the historic and
the contemporary. So when I
heard about a city that flows with
the ease of a small town while
boasting beaches, museums and
architectural masterpieces on
par with those of the worlds
great cultural centers, I took no-
tice.
I was chatting with a musician
whod recently toured Spains
third-largest city, Valencia. It has
one of the most gorgeous skies
Ive ever seen, she said. The
light is intoxicating. She contin-
ued to extol the citys virtues: It
was alternatelyahot, happening
city and a cute little town. The
contradictions intrigued me.
How successfully, I wondered,
did the place straddle them?
Armed with my curiosity and a
carry-on, I set off to find out.
Arriving in Valencia at an un-
godly hour of the morning, I
stumbled up to the reception
desk of my hotel. Still dazed from
the medication that had failed to
induce sleep in the air but was in-
stilling stupor on the ground, I
learned that my room wouldnt
be readyfor several hours. Forced
to rally, I stored my luggage,
splashed water on my face,
downed a coffee and headed out
to investigate the town.
I joined a walking tour of the
spot where it all began, the Centro
Historico. Exploring the citys
past, we learned that retired Ro-
mansoldiers createda community
named Valentia here in 138 B.C.;
that Arabs conqueredthe regionin
the 8th century, introducing the
rice that would eventually crown
thecitythebirthplaceof paellaand
the oranges that continue tobe the
regions most important cashcrop;
andthat KingJames convertedVa-
lencia to Christianity in 1238,
erecting churches on the sites of
demolished mosques. Our guide,
Jose, pointed out remnants from
medieval times: the Torres de Ser-
ranos and, across the city center,
the Torres de Quart, towers that
for centuries served as both pris-
ons and the gates of the city wall.
As we roamed through the
winding walkways, I was smitten
with the balconies that extended
from seemingly every window in
town, some curving, with intri-
cate ironwork, some tiled with
Mediterranean ceramics. As a
New Yorker, I envied these beau-
tifully crafted stages for viewing
what I would have to concur is
one of the most gorgeous skies
Ive ever seen.
Our group moved deeper into
the city center toward the Gothic
glory of La Lonja. Now a desig-
nated UNESCO World Heritage
Site, this building was the com-
modity exchange and hub for the
citys booming silk trade in the
16th century. With its twisting
pillars soaring almost 60 feet to
the vaulted ceiling, it was imme-
diately clear why La Lonja is con-
sidered one of Europes most sig-
nificant non-religious Gothic
buildings.
Across the street, the architec-
tural style quickly fast-forwarded
400 years as we approached the
MercadoCentral. This structure
of brick, stone, iron, wood, ce-
ramic and glass is a model exam-
ple of the modernist design, ex-
plained Jose, leading us toward a
stand with countless hanging
hams for a taste of jamonserrano.
With about 900 stalls selling
fresh produce, cheeses, spices,
meat, seafood and just about any
other comestible you can imag-
ine, the Mercado is the largest in-
door market in Europe. That
morning it buzzed with move-
ment and chatter. And although
pockets of tourists snapped pic-
tures andstaredat the paintedor-
anges embellishing the ceilings
cupolas, most of the crowd was
local, speaking Spanish or Valen-
ciano, the regional language, and
going about their daily shopping.
Our next stop was the Plaza del
Ayuntamiento, the spot where, at
2 p.m. every day fromMarch15 to
19, duringthefestival of LasFallas,
Valencia erupts into a concert of
gunpowder and fireworks known
as the mascletas. Las Fallas, a fes-
tival inhonor of St. Joseph, the pa-
tron saint of carpenters, attracts
more visitors to Valencia than any
other event (and sends many lo-
cals in search of quieter pastures).
During the festivities, the city
proudly presents its fallas: gigan-
tic, building-high papier-mache
sculptures satirizing politicians,
celebrities and local customs. The
nonstop partying, parades and
fireworks climax at midnight on
the19thwiththepublic burningof
all the papier-mache participants
stationed throughout the city
except for one small ninot, a life-
size figure sitting at the base of
one of the colossal fallas, chosen
by popular vote. I saw these
spared sculptures, dating back to
1934, later, at their current safe
haven in the Museo Fallero.
My secondwindwas starting to
wane, and the summer sun was
blazing, so I felt blessed when we
sought refuge in the Centros reli-
gious anchor, La Catedral de Va-
lencia. The citys main cathedral
was built over 500years andincor-
porates multiple architectural
styles. Constructed in the tradi-
tional formof a cross, it welcomes
visitors through three main en-
trances, one Romanesque, one
Gothic and one Baroque.
We entered through Puerta de
los Hierros, the Baroque door on
Plaza de la Reina, to find ornate
frescoes, altars andchapels within.
One of those chapels, the Capilla
del Santo Caliz, holds a chalice
said to be the one from which
Christ drank during the Last Sup-
per, although Valencia is not the
onlycitytoclaimthistreasure. Lat-
er, as we stood gazing at the Goya
paintings in the Capilla de San
Francisco de Borja, from the art-
ists darklater years, a youngwom-
aninour groupnotedseveral preg-
nant women walking around the
churchs periphery. The cathedral,
Jose explained, is also home to the
Virgen del Buen Parto (Our Lady
of Good Delivery), so its a tradi-
tion that during every month of
their pregnancies, expectant
mothers walk nine times around
the cathedral before saying a
prayer toensureahealthydelivery.
Adjacent to the cathedral, the
Plaza de la Virgen is the citys
busiest pedestrian plaza, a bus-
tling meeting place of outdoor
cafes and tables. Steps from
there, our tour concludedat Hor-
chateria El Siglo, where we
dunked fartons (finger-shaped
pastries) in horchata, a cold,
creamy drinkmade frompressed
tiger nuts thats Valencias signa-
ture beverage. I then made my
way back to my hotel and col-
lapsed in my room, thinking that
Valencia certainly doesnt skimp
on tradition.
I spent the next daysplashingat

La Malvarrosa beach before walk-
ing down the promenade for a
beachside paella. Though many
different versions are served, I fig-
uredwheninValencia andopted
for the traditional paella valencia-
na, made with chicken, rabbit and
vegetables. I dugintothedelicious
ricedishValenciastyle scoop-
ing from the pan.
Finally, I visited the Port and
Royal Juan Carlos I Marina, an
area that was reborn, rebuilt and
revamped as Valencia prepared
to be the first European city to
host the Americas Cup yachting
race in 2007 and then again in
2010. The European Formula 1
Grand Prix races through these
streets every summer, and more
than 200,000 passengers are ex-
pected to have embarked on
cruises on these waters this year.
To get a taste of that, I set sail
on a sunset catamaran cruise. As
the wind guided our boat farther
from shore, I watched the bright
sky morph into golden tones,
and I thanked my lucky stars,
some of which were starting to
appear for their evening shift, to
have founda city capable of satis-
fyingmy diverse travel desires. A
glass of cava in hand, I toasted
the townandthe city, the oldand
the new that make Spains No. 3
second to none.

Story and Photos by
Marianne Tucker Puhalla
Advertising Projects Writer
Located less than a half mile from the
western tip of Shickshinny Lake, this
striking new construction at 44 Main Rd.,
Shickshinny, offers plenty to enjoy both
inside and out. The 2,225 square foot
home features four bedrooms and two
and a half baths with beautiful hardwood
ooring and elegant tile. It is easy to en-
joy the two-acre lot thanks to a rear deck
and a covered porch that makes the most
of the view of the surrounding mountains
from the hillside location.
Listed by Ken Williams of Five Moun-
tains Realty for $275,000, this home will
be open for tours at an Open House
today from 1-2:30 p.m.
The exterior is wrapped in taupe vinyl
siding with white trim and chocolate
brown shutters. A leaded glass front
door has sidelights and opens into a
large foyer. Giving you your rst look
at the striking hardwood ooring found
throughout the rst oor, this entry has
stairs that lead to the second oor and
opens left to the dining room and right to
the spacious 25-by-16 living room.
A highlight is sure to be the gas
replace set on an angle in the corner.
The location allows those in the kitchen
to share in the view. The living room
offers an expanse of hardwood ooring,
two single windows front and a double
window rear. Throughout the home, all
walls are painted antique white for ease
in decorating.
An archway to the left of the foyer
opens to the 12-by-12 dining room. This
room has an elegant tray ceiling with tex-
tured nish and a second arched opening
to the rear to the adjacent 12-by-14 eat-in
kitchen.
The kitchen features black speckled
laminate countertops in a granite pattern
set over an L-shape of oak cabinets. The
brand new appliances include a stain-
less steel stove, side-by-side refrigerator,
microwave and dishwasher. Amenities
include a built-in desk and a full pantry
closet with etched glass door. The break-
fast area has sliding doors that open to
the rear deck.
A hallway that connects the kitchen
and the foyer hosts a large closet and a
powder room with more of the hard-
wood ooring and white pedestal sink. A
New construction set on two acres at Shickshinny Lake
