NEW YORK White House
candidates once looked to presi-
dential debates for a chance to
shine. Now the hopefuls play it
safe as they try to avoid the kind
of televised stumble that could
fatally undermine their chances.
Thats a dreaded YouTube mo-
ment a gaffe or flub that im-
mediately goes viral online.
Ask Texas Gov. Rick Perry,
whose struggle in one debate to
name the third of three federal
agencies he would eliminate be-
came the oops moment of the
2012 campaign. Or former Min-
nesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty,
whose campaign collapsed after
heduckedthechancetoconfront
rival Mitt Romney in a debate
over his push for a health care
mandate in Massachusetts. Or
Herman Cain, whose Princess
Nancy comment about former
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
came just as he was battling dec-
ade-old allegations of sexual ha-
rassment.
To be sure, debates have pro-
duced plenty of cringe-inducing
moments over the years. Mi-
chael Dukakis had a nonchalant
response to a hypothetical ques-
tion about his wife being raped
and murdered in 1988. Al Gores
sighs andorangemakeupin2000
drew ridicule. And who could
forget Barack Obama dismissing
Democratic rival Hillary Rod-
ham Clinton as likeable
enough in 2008?
But the Internet has intensi-
fied the impact of such gaffes,
making normally risk-averse pol-
iticians even more careful and
debates evenmore scripted. It all
raises the question: Do voters ev-
er really get to know the people
they end up electing to lead the
country? And, in this era of real-
ity TV, are viewers getting less
than reality when they tune into
debates because of a candidates
fear of making a campaign-end-
ing misstep?
The viral nature of the post-
debate videohas hadthe effect of
bludgeoning candidates, said
Barbara OConnor, emeritus pro-
fessor of political communica-
tions at California State Univer-
sity-Sacramento. Im not sure
its part of the intellectual dis-
course that debates are meant to
encourage. But watching candi-
dates under stress is certainly
one indication of howtheyll per-
form as elected leaders.
Campaigns are always ripe
with potential YouTube calami-
ties Cains confusion over a
question about Libya at a news-
paper editorial board interview
became an instant classic when
it went online earlier this month,
as did a speech Perry gave in
NewHampshire that led to spec-
ulation he might have been
drunk.
But the debates have been par-
ticularly risky, given their fre-
quencythis year andthe huge au-
diences they have drawn. ACNN
forumset for tonight inWashing-
ton will be the 11th Republican
debate since May, and at least
two more are scheduled before
the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3.
No one has been more cau-
tious in debates than Romney,
the fields nominal front-runner.
The former Massachusetts gov-
ernor has worked to draw little
attention to himself, choosing
his words carefully when an-
swering questions and often re-
fusing to take the bait if a rival
tries togoadhimor get under his
skin.
Romney lost his cool once at a
debate in October, after Perry
pushed him to explain why he
had once used a lawn care ser-
vice that employed illegal immi-
grants. Romney said he had con-
fronted the gardening service
and insisted that they stop.
Look, he said he told the
service, you cant have any ille-
gals workingonour property. Im
running for office, for Petes
sake! I cant have illegals!
The line went viral immediate-
ly, drawing plenty of guffaws and
renewing criticismof Romney as
lacking core principles.
Internet has intensified gaffes, making normally risk-averse politicians even more careful
Debating candidates cautious in YouTube era
Hopefuls try to avoid kind of
televised stumble that could
fatally undermine chances.

WASHINGTON Heat-
trapping greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere are building up
so high, so fast, that some sci-
entists nowthink the world can
no longer limit global warming
to the level world leaders have
agreed upon as safe.
New figures from the U.N.
weather agency Monday
showed that the three biggest
greenhouse gases not only re-
ached record levels last year
but were increasing at an ever-
faster rate, despite efforts by
many countries to reduce emis-
sions.
As world leaders meet next
week in South Africa to tackle
the issue of climate change,
several scientists said their
projections show it is unlikely
the world can hold warming to
the target set by leaders just
two years ago in Copenhagen.
The growth rate is increas-
ing every decade, said Jim
Butler, director of the U.S. Na-
tional Oceanic and Atmospher-
ic Administrations Global
Monitoring Division. Thats
kind of scary.
Scientists cant say exactly
what levels of greenhouse gas-
es are safe, but some fear a con-
tinued rise in global temper-
atures will lead to irreversible
melting of some of the worlds
ice sheets and a several-foot
rise in sea levels over the centu-
ries the so-called tipping
point.
The findings from the U.N.
World Meteorological Organi-
zation are consistent with oth-
er grimreports issued recently.
Earlier this month, figures
from the U.S. Department of
Energy showed that global car-
bon dioxide emissions in 2010
jumped by the highest one-year
amount ever.
The WMO found that total
carbon dioxide levels in 2010
hit 389 parts per million, up
from 280 parts per million in
1750, before the start of the In-
dustrial Revolution.
The U.N. agency cited fossil
fuel-burning, loss of forests
that absorb CO2 and use of fer-
tilizer as the main culprits.
Since 1990 a year that in-
ternational climate negotiators
have set as a benchmark for
emissions the total heat-
trapping force from all the ma-
jor greenhouse gases has in-
creased by 29 percent, accord-
ing to NOAA.
Greenhouse gases up;
warming not slowed
Data show gases hit record
levels last year, increased at
an ever-faster rate.

WASHINGTON I. Michael
Heyman, who was the first non-
scientist to lead the Smithso-
nian Institution after serving as
chancellor of the University of
California, Berkeley, has died.
He was 81.
Heyman died at his Berkeley
home Saturday after a long bat-
tle with emphysema. The
Smithsonian and the university
announced his death Monday.
During five years as chief of
the worlds largest museum and
research complex, Heyman
oversaw creation of the Smith-
sonians first website and an af-
filiations network that now in-
cludes 170 museums across the
country. He secured funding to
build the National Museum of
the American Indian and a ma-
jor donation for a National Air
and Space Museum annex in
northern Virginia.
Heyman arrived at the Smith-
sonian in 1994 facing controver-
sy over the Air and Space Mu-
seums planned exhibition of the
B-29 Enola Gay that dropped
the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
Some historians and veterans
groups complained it was too
sympathetic to the Japanese.
Heyman eventually cancelled
the planned exhibit and re-
placed it in 1995 with a simple
display without commentary,
context or analysis of the turn-
ing point of World War II.
Current Smithsonian Secreta-
ry Wayne Clough said Heyman
was a proud veteran of the U.S.
Marine Corps and had tackled
the tough controversy over the
Enola Gay.
Heyman was unflinchingly
optimistic about the Smithso-
nians ability to be a force for
knowledge and inspiration in
our society, Clough said in a
statement. He said Heymans
signature program was a cele-
bration of the Smithsonians
150th anniversary in1996 with a
major traveling exhibit, Amer-
icas Smithsonian.
He retired from the museum
in 2000.
A 2007 examination of the
Smithsonians management and
finances found that Heyman
built a structure that significant-
ly increased private contribu-
tions, though his successor,
Lawrence Small, later took cred-
it for record fundraising.
Heyman was a lawyer for the
U.S. Department of the Interior
when he was chosen to lead the
Smithsonian as its first non-sci-
entist secretary in its history. He
was the institutions 10th secre-
tary since its founding in 1846,
overseeing 16 museums, the Na-
tional Zoo and a cluster of re-
search centers at the time.
Heyman was a graduate of
Dartmouth and earned his law
degree at Yale. In1958 and1959,
he was a law clerk to Chief Jus-
tice Earl Warren.
He went on to serve as chan-
cellor of UC Berkeley from1980
to 1990 and was a professor
emeritus of the Berkeley School
of Law.

people.
The Patriot-News of Harris-
burg reported the Mid-Atlan-
tic Antique Tractor Super Pull
was shut down Saturday after
firefighters responding to a re-
port of a sick man recorded
carbon monoxide levels four
times the permissible level.
Harrisburg Bureau of Fire
Battalion Chief Michael Horst
said the antique tractors burn-
ing modern fuel produced
dangerously high levels of car-
bon monoxide.
He said carbon monoxide
sensors carried by firefighters
went off as soon as they walk-
ed into the building.
The Patriot-News report
said at least 25 people were
sickened by the gas.
One person was treated at a
hospital and released.
The state Agriculture De-
partment is investigating the
incident.

LOS ANGELES The Twi-
light Saga has staked out anoth-
er huge opening with a $138.1
millionfirst weekenddomestical-
ly and a worldwide launch of
$283.5 million.
The domestic total gives The
Twilight Saga: BreakingDawn
Part 1 the second-best debut
weekend for the franchise, after
the $142.8 million launch for
2009s The Twilight Saga: New
Moon. Breaking Dawn did
more than half of its business,
$72 million, on opening day Fri-
day, while the movies debut
weekend was the fifth-best on re-
cord.
Opening in 54 overseas mar-
kets, Breaking Dawn pulled in
$144 million internationally, ac-
cording to studio estimates.
But the Warner Bros. dancing
penguin sequel Happy Feet 2
stumbled in its debut, pulling in
just $22 million over opening
weekend. Thats barely half what
the first filminthe animatedfran-
chise earned in its 2006 opening.
The comparison is even worse
considering the original did not
have the sequels price advantage
for 3-D screenings, which cost a
fewdollars more than 2-Dshows.
The previous weekends No. 1
movie, Relativity Medias action
tale Immortals, fell to third-
place with $12.3 million, raising
its domestic haul to $53 million.
George Clooney had a great
start with Fox Searchlights com-
ic drama The Descendants,
which broke into the top-10 de-
spite playing in just a handful of
theaters.
The Descendants finished at
No. 10 with $1.2 million in 29 the-
aters, averaging a whopping
$42,150 a cinema. That compares
to an average of $34,351 in 4,061
theaters for Breaking Dawn.
Directed by Alexander Payne
("Sideways), the filmstars Cloo-
ney as a distresseddadtendingto
his daughters after his wife falls
into a coma from a head injury.
The film expands to about 400
theaters Wednesday.
In an industry whose main au-
dience is young males, Twi-
light is a rare blockbuster fran-
chise driven by female viewers.
Distributor Summit Entertain-
ment reported that women and
girls made up 80 percent of the
audience for Breaking Dawn.
The popularity of Twilight
has left many men scratching
their heads, even those involved
in releasing the movies.
Im 53 years old, and I havent
figured it out yet, said Richie
Fay, head of distribution for Sum-
mit. It relates really to young
girls and things that are impor-
tant tothem, their romantic ideas
of love andrelationships, without
getting so physical, at least on
screen, that it becomes a worry
for their parents.
BreakingDawn has brooding
teenBella (KristenStewart) mar-
rying vampire lover Edward
(Robert Pattinson), whose family
strikes an uneasy alliance with
jealous werewolf Jacob (Taylor
Lautner) to protect the bride and

jections last spring of a record

HARRISBURG A Republi-
can-sponsored proposal to
change how Pennsylvanias elec-
toral votes are counted in next
years presidential election ap-
pears tobe runningout of steam.
GOP Gov. Tom Corbett, a key
supporter of the idea, suggested
Monday that its going nowhere
for the time being.
I see no movement on it. Im
not goingtopushfor movement,
but I still support it, Corbett
told a Pennsylvania Press Club
luncheon in Harrisburg.
The proposal first surfaced in
September withCorbett market-
ing it as a way to more fairly di-
vide electoral votes to reflect the
preferences of Pennsylvanias
voters. But it split Republicans
and drew heavy criticism from
Democrats, who called it a parti-
san attempt to hurt President
BarackObamas re-electioncam-
paign and to minimize the influ-
ence of the states large number
of registered Democrats.
It would ditch the current sys-
tem of awarding Pennsylvanias
20 electoral votes to the winner
of the states popular vote in the
2012 presidential election. Rath-
er, candidates wouldwinanelec-
toral delegate for each of 18 con-
gressional districts they carry,
and the winner of the statewide
vote would gain two additional
electoral votes.
The bill, if it becomes law,
would guarantee that a Republi-
can wins an electoral vote in
Pennsylvania for the first time in
24 years. Depending on how the
congressional districts are
drawn and Republicans are in
control of that process a Re-
publican presidential candidate
could even collect a majority of
the states electoral votes de-
spite losing the statewide pop-
ular vote.
However, the bill would be a
gamble by Republicans that the
partys presidential candidate
wont win the states popular
vote. Democrats have won every
election since 1988.
The bill is in the Senate State
Government Committee but
isnt scheduled for a vote.
Senate Majority Leader Do-
minic Pileggi, the bills sponsor,
responded to Corbett by saying
that advancing the bill would re-
quire a considerable effort by the
Senate, House and governor.
At this time, my primary fo-
cus is completing our work on
legislation regarding education
reforms, the Marcellus Shale in-
dustry and transportation fund-
ing, wrote Pileggi, R-Delaware.
When those items are finished,
we can revisit the electoral col-
legereformlegislation, although
I do not believe there will be suf-
ficient time to advance it this
year.
The plan hasnt been intro-
duced in the House, and a
spokesman for House Majority
Leader Mike Turzai, R-Alleghe-
ny, would only say Monday that
the chambers GOP majority
wouldconsider the bill whenthe
Senate passes it.
At a hearing in October, two
prominent political scientists
said the proposal was sure to re-
duce voter turnout, destroy
Pennsylvanias status as a battle-
ground that draws the attention
of presidential candidates and
weakenanalreadyflawedelecto-
ral voting systemby relying on a
gerrymandered map of congres-
sional districts.

would better reflect the

Writer has a tough time
getting LCCC trustee info
O
n Oct. 6, The Times Leader ran an
article by Geri Gibbons entitled
LCCC addresses probation after mid-
dle states evaluation. I submitted a com-
ment to The Times Leader online asking
for more information about the Board of
Trustees.
The LCCC website features a page on
which photographs and names of the trust-
ees are available. Anyone who reads the
newspaper and is a long-time resident will
most likely be familiar with at least some
members of the board. However, no click-
able links to the vita or date of appoint-
ment, and length of term, exists on the
college website.
Starting on Oct. 6, I read one PDF of
County Commissioners minutes after the
next, trying to find the date of appoint-
ment of a particular trustee. If not for
search engines such as Google or Yahoo, I
would have had to read all the way back to
the minutes of the Aug. 18, 2004, commis-
sioners meeting (Todd Vonderheid, Greg
Skrepenak, Stephen Urban) to find the
reappointment of one trustee and the
appointment of three, including the cur-
rent Board President, Joseph Rymar.
Since this particular appointment was a
reappointment, the original appointment
was made before Vonderheid and Skrepe-
nak took office. I called the courthouse and
asked Mr. Urbans assistant about LCCC
Board appointments, and was directed to
the colleges right-to-know officer, a wom-
an with a family name very familiar to
anyone who lives in Wyoming Valley. Mr.
Urbans assistant steered me in the right
direction, but unless all commissioners
meeting minutes are made searchable
online, it is impossible to ascertain from
those records when a board appointment
was made. Vita? None is ever given in
Commissioners meeting minutes, so a
search for board members qualifications is
completely up to any county resident in-
terested in learning whos minding the
county education store.
LCCC should make trustees dates of
appointment and cursory information
about each board member available on its
site. Learning about them should not re-
quire extensive Internet searches. The
particular individual whose appointment
was of interest to me cant really be found
online. Nearly every other trustees vita
and social prominence can be rooted out,
but this one? He apparently has made a life
out of being a professional board member.

Knowledge of epilepsy
could help save a life
N
early 3 million Americans have epi-
lepsy, yet the public is largely unaware
of how prevalent it is and how serious
of a condition it is without proper treat-
ment and first-aid knowledge. November is
National Epilepsy Awareness Month and I
am working with the Epilepsy Foundation
Eastern PA to raise awareness of this con-
dition.
Epilepsy is common: There are 109,000
people with epilepsy in Eastern Pennsylva-
nia. Many people cannot properly recog-
nize or do not know what to do when
someone has a seizure. Most people do not
realize a seizure is not always convulsive;
there are many types of seizures.
If you see someone having a convulsive
seizure, you should turn them on their side
and cushion their head. Do not put any-
thing in their mouth. Be sure to time the
seizure and call 911 if the seizure lasts
longer than five minutes. Epilepsy is not
contagious, and seizures are not dangerous
to anyone witnessing one. To learn more
about different types of seizures and first-
aid treatment, visit www.efepa.org/living-
with-epilepsy.
As someone affected by epilepsy, I
strongly encourage everyone to get educat-
ed by visiting www.efepa.org. The life of
our son Tony, or that of someone you
know, may depend on it.

Dont use PSU scandal
to show intolerance
T
o me, Mr. Curt Piazzas letter of Nov. 19
clearly speaks to his own homophobia,
which he seems to be projecting onto
the diversity program at Penn State. How
can he, or any of us for that matter, cast
judgment on an entire segment of our
population who were born homosexual
because of the actions of one coach at
Penn State, or the actions of individuals
who have an unhealthy connection with
their own sexuality?
If Mr. Piazza chooses to fix his argument
on a Scripture passage from Leviticus
(written by men, not God!), I would invite
him to unlock his mind and come a few
pages forward to Jesus message of love
and acceptance. Jesus didnt tell us to
pick and choose, discarding some and
only accepting certain people (like Mr.
Piazza.) No one is exempted from the love
of God. How can Absolute Love exclude
anyone or anything that is a part of Itself?
As a heterosexual woman and minister
in our community, I support and celebrate
our homosexual brothers and sisters. They
continue to be contributing partners in
business, education, medicine, the arts and
music, the medical field, and so much
more. They are also loving and caring
partners in personal relationships who
deserve to be acknowledged with an op-
portunity to live their lives openly and
have their loving relationships legalized --
showing them the same respect they show
to the rest of us!
Rev. Ann Marie Acacio

Humans must embrace
culture that respects life
H
umanity is indeed at a crossroad. It
must either choose to preserve human
life or face a quite uncertain, unrecog-
nizable and bleak future.
The Bible states that God abhors the
shedding of all innocent blood. Yet, since
the legalization of abortion in 1973, it is
reported that more than 50 million abor-
tions have occurred in our country alone.
Who can be more innocent than a helpless
child within the womb? God grieves.
Progressively, we have become desensi-
tized toward the plight of the unborn.
Many in the media play a major role in this
desensitization. The agenda of many is
clear: a war and genocide against the help-
less and innocent unborn.
While I may not be able to change laws
alone, as a matter of conscience, I appeal
to your heart to choose life, as your moth-
er did. I appeal to you to teach others not
that abortion is so much a right, but some-
thing quite destructive to both mother and
child. I implore you to embrace a culture
that nurtures a respect for life from con-
ception to natural death. Without these
things, there is no future for humanity.

workers at Dover Air
Force Base deserve
commendations for
what they did to honor and re-
spect the nations war dead.
They told investigators
about the disgraceful treat-
ment and handling of soldiers
remains at the largest military
mortuary in the country. The
shocking practices resulted in
disciplinary actions against
three senior base officials.
Defense Secretary Leon Pa-
netta has ordered a review to
decidewhether additional pun-
ishment is warranted. The case
certainly demanded more than
slaps on the wrist. Not only
were human remains grossly
and callously mismanaged, but
on at least two occasions sol-
diers body parts shipped from
Afghanistan were lost.
The mortuary also disposed
of some cremated remains in a
Virginia landfill, according to
the Washington Post. In one of
the most atrocious incidents
mortuary workers were or-
deredby a supervisor tosawoff
the armof a Marine so his body
would fit in a casket.
The incidents bear a striking
resemblance to problems at Ar-
lington National Cemetery,
where mismarked and un-
marked graves were found, as
well as urns dumpedintotrash.
Americas war dead deserve
much better. They paid the ul-
timate sacrifice through their
service to this country.

OTHER OPINION: DOVER MORTUARY
Dont dishonor
nations war dead
T
HE SAGA OF former
Marine Sgt. Stanley
Laskowski told in a
two-part series in The
Times Leader Sunday and
Monday should serve as so-
ber reminder to us all: While
most of us sit in comfort at
home, soldiers are paying a
high price overseas, and they
cant be forgotten, neglectedor
underservedupontheir return.
Meeting the physical and
emotional needs of
our veterans should
always be a given,
even as the debate
rages over how to re-
in in government
spending and taxes. They do
whatever it takes for us; we can
do no less for them.
Laskowskis situation may
be clouded by his run-ins with
the law he broke into a phar-
macy to steal painkillers, and
he has filed a suit against the
Department of Veterans Affairs
contending VA staff botched
the treatment of his post-trau-
matic stress disorder.
But these facts should not
detract from the message he
brings. If anything, they high-
light the problem.
Laskowski recounted har-
rowing brushes with death a
friend saving his life one day,
another friend dying next to
himtwo weeks later. He talked
of recurring flashbacks that
put him inside a Humvee in a
desert while driving on the
Cross Valley Expressway, of
nightmares in which his family
is killed by an Iraqi soldier, and
of a hyper-alertness that had
him screaming when a toy
dropped to a floor.
Crowds that we take for
granted in a country at peace
had a different meaning in the
world of war, Laskowski noted.
A few months ago I was in a
place where if you saw a huge
crowd, something had already
happened or was about to hap-
pen.
Thesymptoms of PTSDmay
seem like a barrage of ephem-
era, but the consequences are
real. Laskowski
became addicted
to drugs and alco-
hol. He lost his
job. His penchant
for stockpiling
weapons strained the family.
Battle-induced PTSD re-
mains something we read
about far more often than we
see, simply because the era of
the all-volunteer army has in-
sulated most Americans from
the impact of our military ef-
forts. But we cannot afford to
keep those blinders on. Our
two long wars in Iraq and Af-
ghanistan are winding down.
The VA estimates as many as
20 percent of 2.1 million sol-
diers deployed since 2001 will
suffer PTSDor another mental
health problem. Other esti-
mates run higher.
This is an apolitical, nonpar-
tisan issue. Its a rare case of
black and white. We must
show the national will to com-
mit whatever resources are
needed to help our returning
military men and women read-
just to life back at the home
they defended.
They did their duty. We
must do ours.
OUR OPINION: PTSD
We cant neglect
returning vets
This is an
apolitical, non-
partisan issue

ble collapsed, combined with
government incentive programs
suchCashfor Clunkers, gave con-
sumers the mistaken impression
that prices would fall across the
board and put consumers in a
wait-and-see mode.
I believe this is an indicator
that people have accepted that
its no longer a recession; this is
the current state of our country,
Mellon said. The prices are now
at where theyre going to be and
people are going to accept them
and theyre going to start buy-

He added that even travel dur-

Usually when people are visit-

proud to show the newness of
their community, Mellon said.
Some of the money visitors
spend is recycled back into local
economy through employee wag-

Powerball, including Saturdays.
The most recent jackpot ticket
sold in Pennsylvania was for the
Feb. 28, 2009, drawing, when a
$46.6 million cash prize was
awarded to a Montgomery

Eight other winning lottery
tickets with payouts of $200,000
or more have been purchased
this year at stores in Luzerne

one.
Councilman-elect Rick Morel-
li, one of the home rule charter
drafters, said the new council
likely will be forced to choose be-
tween a tax increase and imple-
menting inherited layoffs.
The new home rule county
manager will assess staffing lev-
els and recommend future bud-
gets to council, but this person
may not be hired or well-versed
enough to make recommenda-
tions within the 45-day budget
amendment period, he said.
Its a very unique situation
that were going to be in, Morelli
said. Staff cuts and layoffs are
the only way they can balance
this budget without any tax in-
crease, and the question now is
where they will cut.
Commissioners have agreed to
hold a meeting with the 11 newly
elected council members to dis-
cuss the budget and staffing,
though that meeting wont be
held until the proposed budget is
unveiled in early December.
Morelli said he wants to have a
frank discussion with commis-
sioners about their confidence in
the countys ability to function
with less staff. The county cur-
rently employs about 1,700.
Petrilla said staff cuts wont
stop the county from providing
essential services, though it may
take longer for workers to com-
plete tasks that do not have gov-
ernment-mandated deadlines.
She said similar delays have oc-
curred in state government due
to budget cuts.
Commissioners had asked
managers to submit 2012 re-
quests that were flat or less than
this years allottedamounts, even
if they had to compensate for
mandatory union raises.
That didnt happen in most de-
partments. The countys budget
is $125.2millionthis year, andde-
partments initially sought $134.5
million for next year.
Commissioners internally reo-
pened the draft budget for revi-
sions, but the requests increased
to $134.7 million instead of de-
creasing.
The county budget/finance of-
fice has now whittled down ex-
penses to $127.1 million.
Urban has said that many of
the cuts were for wish-list items
the county cant afford.
Commissioners have been tak-
ing advantage of grants andother
new revenue streams to help
compensate for shortfalls, in-
cluding a $1.16 million loss in 911
funding, Petrilla said.
For example, commissioners
voted last week to lease 225
square feet of concessionspace in
the countys Penn Place annex in
downtownWilkes-Barre to Curry
Donuts. The business will pay
$225 per month in rent and pro-
vide the county with a 1 percent
commission on gross sales after
six months. The commission in-
creases to 2 percent after a year.
County officials have also suc-
cessfully lobbied for payments in
lieu of taxes from several tax-ex-
empt organizations in recent
months.

abused eight boys over a 15-year
period.
David Woodle, president of
The Second Mile, on Friday told
The Patriot News newspaper in
Harrisburg that the charity
hoped to remain open, but was
considering closing and trans-
ferring its program to another
charity.
Kormonick, 61, of Sugarloaf,
helped run the Hazleton affiliate
of The Second Mile from1994 to
2002, when the local board de-
cided to disband the chapter
based on a disagreement with
the charitys main branch, locat-
ed in State College, regarding
the use of fundraising money.
Kormonick said the main
branch wanted to earmark $6.5
million to purchase land in State
College that would house a resi-
dential home for disadvantaged
youths who came from troubled
homes. Kormonick said he and
other Hazleton chapter mem-
bers wanted to use money raised
to meet more immediate needs.
Among the programs the Ha-
zleton chapter sponsored was an
annual scholarship fund for area
high school students and a coat
drive to benefit needy children,
he said.
Kormonick, who coached the
Tamaqua girls high school bas-
ketball team to a state cham-
pionship in 1978, has been in-
volved with youth sports most of
his life. A standout baseball and
basketball player in high school,
he was inducted into the North-
eastern Regional Pennsylvania
Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.
He said he and other volun-
teers with The Second Mile
were deeply committed to help-
ing disadvantaged youths. He
was devastated to learn Sand-
usky, who founded the charity, is
accused of using it to exploit
boys for his sexual pleasure.
Its probably been the worst
two weeks of my life, he said.
Its a sickening thing. The very
thing Sandusky is accused of do-
ing, we raised money to pre-
vent.
Kormonick said he met Sand-
usky hundreds of times and
never got any indication that
something was amiss.
We worked very closely with
everyone there. I never once saw
anything inappropriate. I only
saw kids who were happy and
enjoying themselves, he said.
Across the board, the people
who were there, we were duped
if these charges are what (au-
thorities) say they are.
He said he is certain that
group who was duped in-
cludes his close personal friend,
former Penn State football
coach Joe Paterno.
Paterno was fired by the uni-
versity on Nov. 9 after he was
criticized for his response to a
report of a graduate assistant,
who told Paterno he witnessed
Sandusky sexually abusing a
young boy. Paterno told univer-
sity officials of the report, but
did not contact police.
Paterno was a speaker at a
1994 fundraising dinner and
book auction that was held by
the Hazleton chapter of The Sec-
ond Mile. He spoke glowingly of
Sandusky at the event, calling
him an inspiration to all of us.
There are few people in my
life Ive met whove made a big-
ger commitment to helping peo-
ple than Jerry Sandusky, Pater-
no said, according to a story that
appeared in the June 19, 1994,
edition of The Times Leader.
Im not anywhere near the kind
of guy Jerry is. Its unbelievable,
the work he does with young
people.
Kormonick said his thoughts
and prayers are with the youths
who were allegedly abused by
Sandusky. But he also feels deep-
ly for Paterno, whose long lega-
cy of charity and good deeds at
Penn State has been overshad-
owed by the scandal.
Paterno wont be remembered
for what he did, but for what he
was supposed to do, as deemed
by others, Kormonick said.
I feel strongly that when all
this is done and over, the coach
will be exonerated, Kormonick
said. I knowhimas an individu-
al who would not tolerate it if
anything was not done the way it
was supposed to be done.

But Republicans andDemocrats
were unable tocompromise onthe
tax and spending issues that have

the debate to next years presiden-

that he was withholding comment

some prized tax deductions along
withlowering top tax rates.
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
said Monday afternoon that he,
too, wasnt giving up on the com-
mittee reaching a final-hour deal.
I dont expect a complete deal
to be done, Barletta acknowl-
edged in a phone interview. One
possibility, Barletta said, would be
for the committee to come back
witha partial agreement that halts
at least some of the $1.2 trillion in
automatic across the board cuts
triggered by a failure to reach an
agreement andforwardthe planto
Congress.
Half the automatic cuts would
fall on defense programs, some-
thing Barletta said he opposes. He
also said other cuts would hit pro-
grams such as heating assistance
andeducationinitiativesthat often
have bipartisansupport.
That was to be the incentive to
try tocome upwitha deal, Barlet-
ta said. My hope is we can still sit
down and compromise on the pro-
grams andcuts.
Barletta noted that the actual
cuts dont take effect until 2013,
saying, We still have13months to
put something together.

Continued from Page 1A
PHILADELPHIA Former
FBI director Louis Freeh, tapped
toleadPennStates investigation
into the child sex-abuse allega-
tions against a former assistant
football coach, said his inquiry
will go as far back as 1975, a
much longer period than a grand
jury report issued earlier this
month.
Freeh was named Monday to
oversee the university board of
trustees internal investigation
intothe abuse allegations that ul-
timatelyledtothe ouster of long-
time football coach Joe Paterno
and university President Gra-
ham Spanier.
Meanwhile inWashington, the
Senate has scheduled the first
congressional hearing in the
wake of the Penn State scandal.
Three senators announced
Monday that a Dec. 13 hearing
will examine howwell the nation
is protectingchildrenfromabuse
and neglect.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
requested the hearing by a panel
of the Health, Education, Labor
and Pensions Committee. Mary-
land Sen. Barbara Mikulski says
she hopes it will shed light on
prevention and deterrence of
child sexual abuse.
Freeh said his goal was to con-
duct a comprehensive, fair and
quick review. His teamof former
FBI agents, federal prosecutors
and others has already begun the
process of reading the grand jury
report and looking at records.
We will immediately report
any evidence of criminality to
law enforcement authorities,
said Freeh, who has no connec-
tion to Penn State.
Penn State has faced criticism
since announcing that its inter-
nal investigation would be led by
two university trustees, Merck
pharmaceutical company CEO
KennethFrazier andstateEduca-
tion Secretary Ronald Tomalis.
Faculty members on Friday
called for an independent inves-
tigation of how the university
handled abuse allegations, and
the faculty senate endorseda res-
olution asking for an independ-
ent investigation.
In announcing Freehs ap-
pointment, Frazier stressed the
former FBI directors independ-
ence. Freeh will be empowered
to investigate employees up to
and including the board of trust-
ees itself, Frazier said.
No one is above scrutiny,
Frazier said.
Freehsaidhehadbeenassured
there would be no favoritism.
He called that assurance the
main condition of my engage-
ment.
Former assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky is accused
of molestingeight boys over a15-
year period beginning in the
mid-1990s. Authorities say some
assaults happened on campus
and were reported to administra-
tors but not to police.
Authorities saySandusky, who
retired from Penn State in 1999,
met the children through The
SecondMile, ayouthcharitythat
he started in1977. By going back
as far as 1975, Freehs investiga-
tion would cover the entire time
The SecondMile has existedand
24 of the 30 years that Sandusky
worked at Penn State.
Amidthe scandal, PennStates
trustees ousted Spanier and Pa-
terno. The trustees said Spanier
and Paterno failed to act after a
graduate assistant claimed he
sawSandusky sexually abusing a
young boy ina campus shower in
2002.
Paterno, who has the most
wins of any major college foot-
ball coach, has conceded he
should have done more. Spanier
has said he would have reported
a crime if he had suspected one
had been committed.
Sandusky has said he is inno-
cent.
Former school administrators
TimCurley and Gary Schultz are
charged with not properly alert-
ing authorities to suspected
abuse and with perjury. They
maintain their innocence.
Gov. Tom Corbett called
Freehs selection a good one,
noting his familiarity with grand
juries and the role of prosecu-
tors.
Freeh will report to a special
committee composed of six uni-
versity trustees.
Officials also announced that
anyone who has information re-
lated to the probe can contact in-
vestigators at a telephone hot-
line 855-290-3382 and a
special email, PSUhelp(at)freeh-
group.com.
Meanwhile, Penn State police
have referred a report of an inde-
cent assault at an outdoor swim-
ming pool building to the attor-
ney generals office.
A police log noted the report
referred to an incident that oc-
curred sometime between June
1, 2000, and Aug. 30, 2000. The
report was made to campus po-
lice Wednesday and was noted
on Thursdays police log.
When asked if the report was
related to allegations against
Sandusky, Penn State Police
Chief Tyrone Parham said Mon-
day: We can never describe any-
thing related to a victim or sus-
pect.
State open records laws do not
require Penn State to release the
full police report.
A state lawmaker who repre-
sents the State College area said
he was sponsoring a bill that
would reverse the exemption
which currently applies to Penn
State and three other universi-
ties that rely heavily on state
funding but are independently
run.
Rep. Kerry Benninghoff said a
more open climate might pre-
vent future scandals.

GET UP TO$5,000 OFF ANEWKIA!
A
whole week of illness didnt
stop Nyeem Wartman from
achieving his football dreams.
So why should a school rocked by a
heinous sex scandal?
The high-energy linebacker for Val-
ley View High School insists hes still
coming full-speed to Penn State, even
in the aftermath of the upheaval thats
disgraced Happy Valley.
Why?
Why would anyone in his right mind
want to enter a program with such a
tarnished reputation?
I made a commitment, Wartman
said.
Nobody would blame him for back-
ing out of a non-binding verbal agree-
ment to take his impressive defensive
skills to Penn State.
Not after the universitys squeaky-
clean image collapsed faster than one
of those high school ballcarriers Wart-
man hits.
The biggest blow to Penn States
football program so far came when
legendary Nittany Lions coach Joe
Paterno was fired. That move was
made after their former defensive coor-
dinator Jerry Sandusky was charged
with sexually assaulting young boys
during a state investigation that put
the schools hierarchy in upheaval.
Now the NCAA is investigating.
By the time it all ends, Penn State
could be in for more punishment. And
the current coaching staff may not be
around when Wartman arrives next
year. That includes linebackers coach
Ron Vanderlinden, who Wartman said
was a major factor in college selection.
Want to make another choice?
Got to live with my decision, Wart-
man said firmly.
Well, he doesnt have to, since athlet-
ic recruits arent bound to schools until
they sign national letters-of-intent until
February.
The key is, Wartman wants to experi-
ence Penn State.
Its one of those situations where
you can put your own mark on a pro-
gram, Wartman said, and get them
going back in the right direction.
He longs to help the Lions recover
from the most heartbreaking period in
their history, and resurrect an image
that for so long portrayed purity.
I feel its on the upswing, Wartman
said. Ill be part of a new era.
Clearly, Nyeem Wartman never
backs down from a challenge.
He got a pretty good one last week,
while suffering from a stomach virus,
strep throat and a fever. The symptoms
knocked him for such a loop, he spent
most of the first half of Saturdays Dis-
trict 2 Class 3A championship game
against Dallas on the sideline.
But Wartman found his way back to
the field for the second half, and helped
the Cougars find their first district
championship during a dramatic 18-12
comeback victory.
He picked himself up and delivered a
tackle so crushing, it knocked Dallas
star quarterback out of the game. He
picked off a pass, then picked up a blitz
from his tight end position on offense,
allowing quarterback Liam Callejas
enough time to throw the game-tying
touchdown under three minutes left.
One of those football games that
goes down in our history, Wartman
called it. It will live forever.
The idealism of Penn State football
died abruptly. The Lions are going to
guys like Wartman to bring it back.

YATESVILLEWhenhighschool foot-
ball adversaries take the field, there is ex-
pectedto be some mudslinging going on.
There was Monday at the West team
practice for Wednesdays UNICOAll-Star
Classic.
Mudslingingof thehorseplayvarietyas
rivalsfromthewestsideof theSusquehan-
na River along with Pittston Area tossed
some soggy soil at each other before get-
ting downto business.
Thefirst thingI canhonestlysayabout
them is what respectful kids they are,
said Pittston Area coach Mike Barrett,
who is coaching the West along with his
staff. They are keeping it fun, but at the
same time in between the whistles they
are going at it. They are very, very good
athletes andpick up onthings quickly.
They are very respectful kids. Their
coaches have done a good job and their
families have done a goodjobwiththem.
The West had four practices leading up
to Mondays session. It was the second
timeit hadplayersfromDallasandWyom-
ing Area, both of which had their seasons
end this past weekend in the District 2
playoffs.
The first week went smooth, Barrett
said. We installed some base things on
Monday, andTuesday the attentionof the
kids andtheir aggressionwas great. (Sun-
day) we had the whole lot with the kids
from Dallas and Wyoming Area and they
pickedup things.
It was kind of a longer practice than I
wanted for them (Sunday), but again we
wereinstallingsamethingsforthesecond

PITTSBURGH Sidney Crosby
capped his comeback with a flourish.
The superstar forward scored twice
and added two assists in his season de-
but and the Pittsburgh Penguins
crushed the New York Islanders 5-0 on
Monday night.
Playing his first game in more than10
months while recovering from concus-
sion-likesymptoms, Crosbyappearedto
be in midseason form. He scored on his
third shift in spectacular fashion, weav-
ing through the New York defense be-
forebeatingAnders Nilssonwitha back-
hand for his first goal since last Decem-
ber.
Crosby added assists on goals by Ev-
geni Malkin and Brooks Orpik and
capped his comeback with a second tal-
ly, a backhand that fluttered by Nilsson
early in the third period to provide the
final margin.

mate Pascal Dupuis said.
Steve Sullivanalsoscoredfor the Pen-
guins while Marc-Andre Fleury stopped

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Bra-
dy threw two touchdown passes to Rob
Gronkowski and the New England Pa-
triots shook off a sluggish start to beat
the Kansas City Chiefs 34-3 on Monday
night.
Julian Edelman returned a punt 72
yards for a touchdown and Kyle Arring-
ton had two interceptions, helping the
Patriots (7-3) increased their AFC East
lead to two games.
The Chiefs (4-6) werent expected to
do much on offense behind untested
quarterback Tyler Palko, making his
first career start with Matt Cassel in-
jured. And they didnt, managing just a
26-yard field goal by Ryan Succop with
1:30 left inthe first quarter for their only
lead.
The Patriots had their second
straight dominant game after beating
the NewYork Jets 37-16. The Chiefs lost
their third straight.
Brady, who threw for just 19 yards in
the first quarter, connected with Gron-
kowski for a 52-yard touchdown that
put the Patriots up 7-3 with 4:18 left in
the second.
New England then came up with a
turnover after allowing Kansas City to
drive 46 yards.

IN BRIEF
Finding an exercise partner to share your
sweat can be a huge motivator. You
need somebody consistent some-
body you can trust to be there, says
Kerri Krasnow, a certified athletic
trainer in Newport News, Va. Her tips:
Look for someone on a similar exercise
program. If youre both into weight
training or riding stationary bikes, it
shouldnt matter if you cant lift as
many pounds or pedal as quickly as
your partner. You can still spot and
motivate each other.
A friendly competitor is good. ... Make a
bet that whoever goes to the gym less
often has to pay for a lunch date.
... but an aggressive one isnt. An ultra-
competitive partner who pushes or
shames you into a workout youre not
ready for will increase your injury risk.
You should be able to speak up if an
exercise feels like too much. Type-A
personalities also tend to do best
together.
Pick someone you can look bad in front
of. Youre going to be sweaty, tired and
likely stinky. An opposite-sex partner is
fine unless youre worrying about how
your hair looks.
Match schedules. Some people do better
exercising in the morning and some at
night, while others can only grab time
on lunch breaks. Be honest upfront.
Go for a somewhat adventurous person.
You dont want to jump on every exer-
cise fad, but a buddy should be occa-
sionally up for trying new routines.
Dont limit yourself to people you already
know. Post a flyer at your gym, ask the
front desk staff if they know of poten-
tial partners or approach someone you
regularly see there. Friends, co-workers
and neighbors also may have ideas.
Look beyond the gym. Walks with neigh-
bors or co-workers are great exercise,
too.

H O W T O PICK A WORKOUT BUDDY
Q: How does a mela-
tonin supplement
work? I know that its
helpful for sleep, but
its a hormone and not
a sedative like Ambi-
en or Lunesta.
W.R., Lima, Ohio
A: Youre exactly right. Melatonin is
not a sedative, but a hormone secreted
by the pineal gland in the brain thats
involved in regulating the bodys mas-
ter clock and helping the body dis-
tinguish when we should be awake and
when we should be asleep (a biological
time cue). Thats why, in small doses,
melatonin supplements have been used
to help people adapt to changes in
sleep-wake cycles, like from jet travel
across time zones or from shift work.
When you take an over-the-counter
melatonin supplement of 2-6 mg 30-90
minutes before bedtime, it advances
the internal time clock because of a
brief spike in the blood melatonin level
and makes your body think its later
than it really is. For some folks, that
will help with initial insomnia (difficul-
ty falling asleep). Unfortunately, mela-
tonin has not been shown to be very
effective for chronic sleep disorders.
Since a low light level is a stimulus
for the secretion of melatonin, be sure
to keep your room dark. An important
piece of information about the use of
melatonin is that more is not necessar-
ily better. Too large a dose of supple-
mental melatonin (more than 6mg)
will spill over onto the wrong side of
the melatonin-regulated sleep-wake
cycle and actually cause a melatonin-
induced insomnia.
Q: Im 78 years old. I received the
pneumonia vaccine in 2004. At that
time, my doctor said that the vaccina-
tion lasts 10 years. Can you explain
why I was hospitalized this past sum-
mer with pneumonia?
T.D., Winter Park, Fla.
A: Many folks think that their pneu-
monia shot will keep them from getting
pneumonia, and thats not quite true.
The pneumonia shot protects only
against pneumococcal (streptococcal)
pneumonia, the most common cause of
bacterial pneumonia. And even thats
only 60-70 percent effective at best.
Other bacteria like H. influenza, sta-
phylococcus, mycoplasma, chlamydia
and neisseria also cause bacterial pneu-
monia. Viruses like influenza, respira-
tory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus
and parainfluenza that can cause pneu-
monia thats viral. A flu shot will only
protect against viral pneumonia if the
cause of the infection is influenza.
As far as how long the pneumonia
(pneumococcal) vaccine lasts, it can
provide years of protection to someone
younger than 65 with a healthy im-
mune system. Its recommended that a
second shot be given once a healthy
person reaches 65. Folks who have any
form of chronic illness should be re-
vaccinated every 5 years.

The un-potato
Neither a yam nor a common potato, sweet potatoes are a unique type
of potato with their own nutritional benefits.
Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are one
of the best sources of beta-carotene, capable
of raising blood levels of vitamin A
In fact, one medium sweet potato,
baked with skin, provides more than 250
percent of daily vitamin A requirement
To get the full beta-carotene benefit,
be sure to include 3 to 5 grams of fat -
about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, for
example - in your meal
If you are watching blood sugar
levels, try boiling or steaming, which
lowers the glycemic index (GI) value;
boiled potatoes can be mashed, mixed
with other vegetables and topped with a
vinaigrette

All calories are not created
equal. Some require more energy
to digest, giving you a bigger
bang for your buck, says Leslie
Bonci, registereddietitian, direc-
tor of sports medicine at the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh Medical
Center and an author of The Ac-
tive Calorie Diet.
Eat plenty of low-fat protein.
Digesting these foods requires
the most calorie burn. Just keep
choices healthy: leanmeats, eggs
and low-fat dairy products, for
example, not fatty cheeseburg-
ers.
Focus on fiber. Fiber-rich
foods place second on the active
calorie scale. Load up on fresh
vegetables and fruits with the
skin on beans, bran cereals
and whole-wheat products, in-
cluding breads.
Go for chewy. Your mouth,
the first stop in the digestive
process, will have to work har-
der. Choose whole fruit versus
fruit juice and toss extra beans or
broccoli into soups and stir-fries.
Add spice. Including items
such as crushed peppers, wasabi
andhot sauce at most meals likely
will burn 10 to 20 extra calories a
day thanks to a compound called
capsaicin not a lot, but it adds
up over time. If you cant tolerate
spice, try cinnamon, garlic, ginger
or cloves anduse vinegar as a mar-
inade.
Cook more. Opening a pack-
age burns almost zerocalories
much less than preparing meals
from scratch.
Beware non-active calories.
Cookies and pastries, chips, so-
das and highly processed meats
such as hot dogs and chicken
nuggets are easily digested and
most likely to be stored as fat.

NEUROPATHY
CONSULTATION
NEUROPATHY CENTER
Michele Holincheck CRNP
250 PIERCE ST. SUITE 108 KINGSTON (570) 287-5560
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!

Itsdefinitelyaone-taskwonder,
and consumers should make sure
they have the inclination and the
space for such a product. That
said, the Yonanas machine is easy

could easily make Yonanas,
thoughadultsshouldwashthema-
chines sharpblades.
One downside is the noise: Its
loud. Also, afairamountof dessert
had to be scraped from inside the
machine. The desserts come out
more ice cream-like than an extra-
thick smoothie made in a blender
and creamier than frozen fruit
mixedina foodprocessor.
Including bananas is the best
waytogetasoft-serveconsistency,
buttheyrenotrequired. Strawber-
riesandmango, for example, were
delicious together.
You might have to play around
to get the flavor you like. And you
havetostirwell afterputtingmore
than one kind of fruit through the
machine.
Date-pecan (dates and bananas,
withsomegroundpecans stirredin-
to the bowl) was a hit. Tasters also
likedpumpkin(pumpkin,spicesand

Their popularity is apparently
swelling. John Storkamp, 32, who
hasservedasracedirector of sever-
al Twin Cities ultras, including the
Afton Trail Run and the Zumbro
100Mile, saidultras never filledup
when he began running them sev-
enyears ago.
Now, fieldlimitsaremetearly,he
said, andyoubetterget signedup.
Success for ultra runners can be
defined by whether a sore ankle
was addressedthe right way at the
right time, the number of falls tak-
en, howlongittooktofinishorsim-
plyfinishingat all.
Dropping out of a race is frus-
trating, butitsjustpartof thedeal,
said John Taylor, of Minneapolis,
who completed his 36th ultrama-
rathon, the Surf the Murph 50-
miler, last monthbut has lost track
of howmany he failed to complete
throughtheyears.
Taylor, 49, considershimself com-
pulsive,butinagoodway.Whenrun-
ninganultra,heconstantlymonitors
his body, knowing that one mistake
canmeanthedifferencebetweenfin-
ishing and dropping out. Should a
sore ankle be left alone? Does a
throbbingcalf call for salt? Does diz-
ziness meanhes lowonelectrolytes
or sleepdeprived?
Theresabigphraseinultrarun-
ning: thestudyof one,Taylorsaid.
Take food, for instance. For ul-
tramarathoners, its crucial, and
each runner takes a different ap-
proachtoingestingtheright mixof
carbohydrates andproteins.
HelenLavin, whohascompleted
31ultramarathons, favorscommer-
cial gels and pretzels or chips,
sometimesmixinginfruit, agrano-
la bar or saltychickenbroth.
Ultramarathoners must be will-
ing to deal with a little, or a lot, of
discomfort. They must be expert
problem-solvers, often making ad-
justments on the fly. They need to
have tenacious work ethics and be
OK with lots of alone time. They
have to look at the glass as half full
even, according to Taylor,
whenthecupis bonedry.
They also must be prepared for
thementalhighsandlowsthatcome
withjust about everylongrace.
The whole ultra thingis upand
down. ... You dont worry if you feel
terrible,evenat20miles,(because)a
fewhourslateritgetsbetter,saidLa-
vin, 34, wholivedinMinneapolisfor
sevenyearsbeforemovingtoCalifor-
nia earlier this month. You know
youve felt like this before and can
keepgoing. But if its your first ultra,
that canbereallyhardtodeal with.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: A num-
ber of things in the
letter from Uneasy
in Indiana (Oct.
21) can be red flags
for sex abuse. I have
worked in child
welfare for 35 years.
Abusers often start with playful
touching, comment about cute
body parts, continue after being
asked to stop, and make power state-
ments that they can touch the child if
they want.
Abusers, when confronted, often
accuse the other parent of misun-
derstanding or being crazy. They
may also accuse the child of misun-
derstanding the touches or being
provocative.
That Uneasy and her husband
dont have sex is also of concern it
can mean her husband finds children,
not adult women, sexually desirable.
Even if Uneasy isnt sure, she
should stop leaving the child alone
with him. Let the husband know
the touching and comments stop
NOW no excuses and if theres
anything else of this nature she will
report it to the authorities.
The time to protect a child is BE-
FORE something happens. Afterward
is too late. Children often tell only
one time. If no action is taken, the
child wont tell again!
Seen It All in Texas
Dear Seen It All: My thanks to you
and the others who wrote to support
my advice to Uneasy in Indiana. My
readers comment:
Dear Abby: Im a clinical social work-
er who works with sex offenders in
a prison. Im distressed that the hus-
band truly believed it was OK and
didnt mean ... Yes, he DID mean to
touch his daughter inappropriately.
The key statement in that letter is
the girl asked him to stop and he ne-
gated her feelings by telling her she
belonged to him. HUGE red flag! So
many offenders I see are infatuated
with preteens. Uneasy needs to get
him to counseling ASAP and never
leave her daughter alone with Dad.
Uneasy Therapist in Illinois
Dear Abby: After my wife died I
playfully spanked and patted my
daughters cute little butt. Her school
counselor found out, called child
protective services, who called the
police, and I was arrested. I wound up
serving 2 1/2 years in prison. Im now
on parole and will be on the federal
Sex Offender Registry for the next
20 years. That man needs to rethink
his actions and get professional help
before its too late for him or his
daughter.
C.R.H. in Kentucky
Dear Abby: Uneasys letter made
me sick, having endured the same
treatment from my father. The issue
is boundaries. Every girl needs them
in order to maintain her self-worth,
control over her own body and her
ability to say no without being
afraid of offending some guy who
wants to treat her like a sex object.
It took years of therapy and work to
repair the damage my father caused.
This fathers problem should be
addressed immediately by a profes-
sional therapist. Uneasy needs to
put her foot down and let him know
his behavior will not be tolerated.
The daughter needs her mothers full
support.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
creative mind will start search-
ing for ways to express whats in
your heart from the moment you
get out of bed to the moment
you get back into it. Even your
dreams will be creative.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youre
stretched beyond comfort, and
yet you dont mind it. You real-
ize that you must be challenged
slightly more than is cozy in
order to grow into the role you
so desire.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
will be increasingly willing to
explore what your senses are
telling you. Whatever you feel, it
informs you. There are no inher-
ently bad feelings, just feelings
that give you different kinds of
information.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). No one
will accuse you of being boring.
Maybe youll say things that are
even a little more interesting
than you intended, producing a
wave of publicity. Any publicity is
good publicity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll be
spending time with people who
are difficult to get to know. Youll
just have to work a little bit
harder to crack the code. And
only you can determine whether
its really worthwhile.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll try
harder when you dont think any-
one is watching. They cant help
themselves, as they are drawn to
your intriguing and original way
of going about your business.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your faith
helps you focus, and your focus
helps you have faith. Youll find
that whatever you gaze upon
either with your actual eyes or
with your minds eye will talk
back to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
way you speak will have a mes-
merizing effect on others. The
best part is that you probably
dont even mean to have this
effect. It happens naturally.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The term personal responsibil-
ity means something different
to each person. You prefer to
act in a manner that most would
deem highly responsible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The role you play in a group can
change. The thing that makes it
change is your decision to act a
different part. Youll bring about
a new dynamic in the weeks to
come.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Breakups are breakthroughs,
and breakthroughs can cause
breakups. Knowing this, youll be
happy for the status quo. Youll
make a point of enjoying the
relationships that are going well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A con-
versation plays out the same
way every time you connect with
a certain person. Its getting old.
Youll be the one who initiates
something new to talk about.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22).
This will be a busy year for you.
You will find new qualities to
appreciate in yourself. Youll do
whats best for you. The start
of 2012 feels like youre waking
up to a dream. In March, your
personal life sparkles with new
characters. Youll invest, and it
will pay off for you. Aquarius and
Scorpio people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 39, 1, 21, 30
and 16.
